LATER DAY SAYINGS
OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

.
"Be on the alert for ways to in
crease thy business, for thy profits
and happiness will be increased there
by" was one OF the sayings of old
DR. Benjamin Franklin, which is re-
corded to this day in his writings and
what motto il is for the young man,
q o. woman, just starting out in the
worlds business battle TO have before
them constantly.
In fact, while that is theoretically
the thing that all business men
SHOULD do all the time, it is what
the successful business man DOES
all the time.
Now one of the best ways TO in
crease your business is to secure ef-
fcient employees. Office, factory or
store helpers. who are ION to their
jobs" and who have energy and
initiative and push and 60 in them.
These the big business men of the
country arc looking for constantly
and the really big business men find
them.
They find them through the
simplest. quickest and most inexpen-
sive of modern advertising methods
the Want Columns.
Had Or. Franklin known of such a
thing as a Want Ad he would un-
doubtedly have advocated il as the
first method Of increasing business,
hut there was no such thing as a
Want Ad in his day and so this little
preachment is TO supplement the old
philosophers advice.
If you are a businss man and are
really serious about having efficient
help you had better start right IN
now and make the Want Columns

STRAW HATS.
words,

There seems to be some hope for
the males of the species in these parts.
They are beginning to display a modi-
cum of sense in one matter, at least.
The evidence of this is to be found in
the fact that any number of them have
consigned a foolish tradition or custom
to the limbo where it belongs by dom
ming their straw hats when the wealth
er is suitable for them. Superior man
often pokes fun at the fair sex for it's
slavishness to the DEGREES of fashion.
But there was never anything more
ridiculous in that line than the atti-
tude of the great bulk of the men in
their observance of the straw hat rule
to the effect that such headgear is not
permissible until d certain date of
each year. 1t has been May Is for
hereabouts. And it is just as silly for
men to wait until a fixed date to put
on their straw hats, if the temper
atures preceding it are right for them,
as it is for women to take off their
warm bonnets and substitute flimsy
spring hats for them before the
snow has ceased falling and while the
wintry winds are still blowing.

STUDY OF JITNEYS.
Commercial Club Committee to Take
Up Regulation Problem.

Believing that the jitney business
has reached a stage in development
in Topeka where regulations should
be in vogue for the protection
of the public, a subcommittee of the
street railway and telephones commit
tee Of the Commercial club under E.
f. BrOOkenS was appointed today to
study the question and report to the
committee as a whole.
1t was considered by the members
that without regulations life is endan-
gered- One member pointed out that
in other cities the jitneys are required
to stop at certain points in block
and not "any old place."
Mem ers of the subcommittee: Fred
Coulson, chairman; w. G. Carswell
and o. f. Walker.

aHiuence from the native standpoint.
The salvation of their very souls lies
In the maintenance of their respect as
self-supporting men and women, yet
even while we preach morality, we
permit their only hope of maintaining
1t to dwindle through our own neglect
to find a market for the fruits of
their labor and invention. Yet, hap
PLY, ray of hope has come, and on
the island of Badu in Torres Straights
a laudable attempt is being made by
an incorporated English company I'M
der the direction of the Reverend F.
W. Walker to teach the natives money
making arts and trades and, above all
to procure and develop a market for
their wares. No surer road to the at
tainment of civilization and Christian
ity could be found and there is a
most significant contrast between the
industrious, happy natives of Badu.
whose faces are alive with intelligence
and hope, and their listltss cousins of
other islands in Torres Straits.

A GRIEvoUs MISTAKE.

Perhaps the saddest mistake that
has been made in the universal at
tempt to introduce our civilization
among the simpler races has been the
destruction of almost all that once
was theirs in the hope that things of
our own creation might arise, writes
DR.. Alfred Goldsborough Mayer in the
Popular Science Monthly. Instead,
the natives have lost much and gained
but little. Under friendly direction,
the wonderful wood carving of the
Maoris might have been preserved
and modified to find a profit-producing
market for the natives. The en-
broidered mats of the Marshall Island
ers were the admiration of all who be-
held them, so beautiful were their
designs and soft their texture. Even
SO low a race as that of Australia can
produce basket-work of superior
quality which if honestly encouraged
could provide a means of attaining

STEELE WON IT.
New Point of Law Out i'm Corn Crop
Suit.

A jury in the second division of the
Shawnee county district court today
returned a verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANT in the case of Thomas Myers
versus Hampton A. Steele. Myers
sued Steele for the value of some corn
which had been grown on land upon
which Myers held mortgage given
by Edward Hewins
Myers foreclosed the mortgage, get
ting 80 acres of land for less than
500 an acre that is considered worth
$3.50 or $500 an acre. He also laid
claim to the crop which had been
grown during the Is months period
of redemption which the law allows
before a deed from the sheriff is is
sued. Hewins had rented part of the
land to Hode Taylor. Taylor sold the
crop of corn to Steele. Myers has
suits pending against others who rent
ed the land or bought crops from it,
During the progress of the trial a
point of law was raised upon which
there are no Kansas decisions, the
question being whether the time a
mortgage is entitled to possession is
at the expiration of the period of re-
demption or when the mortgage ac-
tually receives a deed from the sheriff.
Steele & Alt represented Steele and
Hiram Root was attorney for Myers.

STORIES THAT Do NOT JIBE.

In one glazing particular, at any
rate, the stories of the Germans do
not hang together. They insist that
their land is productive enough to sus-
tain them Indefinitely, that starvation
or anything near it is the last
thing the people of Germany think
about. Recent visitors to Germany
who have come to this country make
reports of the same tenor, and add
that provisions appear to be plentiful
all over Germany and are sold at
prices about the same as those that
prevailed before the war began. And
yet, by way of IN excuse for such acts
as the sinking of the Lusitania and the
destruction of human cargoes, the
Germans insist that such are the only
effective reprisals they can make
against the British starvation block
ade of German ports.

Parsons, chief of police.
There will be no discrimination in

There will be no disputes regarding
the speed which automobiles and mo-
torcyles were hitting when drivers are
brought into police court. Each of
our motorcycles is equipped with
perfectly good speedometer, and in
running down speed fiends the motor
cops can tell the exact amount OF
miles per hour they are running

THE CRUSADE FOR HEALTH

And the march of health is making
its way even to the remote places The
United States public health service,
which has maintained a sanitary ser
vice in Alaska for the past three years.
finds that mortality from commun-
icabie diseases in that region is grad
ually falling. In the majority of the
settlements, the teacher is the only
doctor, but medical officers of the
public health service make frequent
visits to the various communities and
teach both the natives and the whites
the methods by which tuberculosis,
eye diseases, and other common all
ments are spread, and the way in
which they may be prevented. This
warfare against disease has resulted in
the abolition of the deadly roller towel
and the common drinking cup by the
natives in general, and this hygientc
reform has spread even as far as Point
Barrow, the most northerly point in
North America. To those interested
in public health activities, as all per-
sons should be, it is for great interest
to note the progress made in promot-
ing hygiene and sanitation throughout
the civilized world. In this respect,
our wards in Alaska, the Indians and
Eskimos, have not been neglected. The
United States bureau of education,
which has supervision of the native
schools in Alaska, is cognizant of the
urgent need of sanitation in the native
homes and villages in order to check
and eradicate the communicable dis
eases, the effects of which have de-
creased the native population "A per
cent during the period 1900 to 1910,
according to the United States bureau
of census. And thessuccess that is be-
ing attained in Alaska against ire
mendous odds through the co-ordina-
ton of the federal departments of
health and education suggests that the
cause of health all over this country
might be materially boosted on it's way
if boards of health, city and state, and
the educational authorities, local and
state, did more work together in the
dissemination of health propaganda.
