URGED TO SUPPORT
 MILITARY MEASURE
Colonel Treat Tells Senate Mili- tary Committee That Ameri- can Army Observers Abroad Learning Valuable Lessons.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Unqualifed non partisan support of military pre- paredness was urged today by Minori- ty Leader Mann in ringing speech on the floor of the house. He was heartily and repeatedly applauded by both sides of the chamber While it has been understood that most of the Republicans favor army and navy in creases until today none of their lead CTS has spoken on the subject. Con sequently, coming as it did on the eve of the presidents departure on pre- paredness speaking tour, Mir. Mann's address was regarded as particularly significant.
 He remarked himself that he al- ways had been known as a small" army and navy man. Representative Mann based his plea on the ground that it behooved the United States now to prepare for any eventualities that may come as a result of the Flu ropean war.
 He decared that he saw no imme- diate danger of war, and hoped that peace might prevail, but that the dan ger of the United States being drawn into the present conflict or one that might result from it, was too great to be disregarded.
 "I have much more fear in the end of war with England than l have with Germany" he said. He declined to elaborate on his remark. Mir. Mann urged no particular preparedness plan. He said he favored standing army of 250000 or 300,000 or even half a million men, better coast defenses and a navy which will be able to defend us on the sea touching on the coast. MT. Mann said it would be millions now, but better than billions later.

ONLY THREE BANKS
 CLOSED IN 1915
M 0 | Important Commission
 Banking Department is to Pre- vent Banks front Failing-In-
 dividual Deposits Show Gain.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Jan. 26.-Most gratify- ing conditions throughout the state are reflected in the reports of State Bank Commissioner Davies. This de- partment is one of the youngest, as it Is now entering upon it's third year, but already the salutary influence of a general head for the banking inter- ests of the state is apparent in strong CT banks, greater public confidence, and increased resources.
 It Is interesting to note that during the year 1914, the Commissioner was forced to close sixteen banks, while in 1915 only three were closed, and thus far in 1916 there have been none. All the state banks are now subject to the same rigid examination as that required of the national banks. At least two examinations are made an- nually of each bank, in addition to those of it's own examining committee, and at least five published statements annually are required By this means, the affairs of every bank are kept constantly under surveillance, and whenever a weak spot appears, efforts are made at once to remedy it.
 One of the most important missions of the banking department is to pre- vent banks from failing, and thereby safeguard the interests of stock-hold- CT and depositor alike. Much of the work accomplished, therefore, does not become known publicly. For the first time in the history of the state banks are being regulated and regulat- ed sanely.
 During the year 1914 there were twelve new banks chartered, and in 1915 there were five chartered. On March 1, 1915, there were 404 banks and on Nov. 10, there were 392 banks This is exclusive of the national banks which do not report to the State Bank Commissioner. The reduction in mum Der is particularly due to several mer- gers, whereby weak banks were strengthened by merging with others
 The individual deposits increased from $24, ,524, O60.25 on March 1, to $27 4O5, ,195.36 Nov 10.
 There were five calls for statements during the year, and one of the grati- flying features of the reports is the increase in the total resources, as shown by the following:

USES AND ABUSES OF
 FERTILIZERS.

of Fertilizers, prepared by Prof. II. ]. R. De Loach, Director of the Experiment Station of Geor- gia, who is the recognized au- thority on fertilizers in the South. The first of these arti- cles will appear in the News at an early date, and one will ap- pear each week until the series is exhausted.
 Prof. De Loach is native of the South, being born and raised in the State of Georgia. He has made the soils of the South a lifelong study, an especially the benefits to them of fertili- gers. Prof. De Loach graduated from the University of Georgia and then spent three years as the botanist at the Georgia Experiment, and five as Pro- lessor of Cotton Industry at the State College of Agriculture of Georgia. He was for one summer collaborator in the Blu reau of Plant Industry, studied two summers at Cornell Univer- sity, and for a time was student at the Scientific Laboratories of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, in Wash ington, D. c. Prof. De Loach is a member of five American scientific societies, and three of Europe.
 Prof. De Loach has written much in the way of bulletins on Southern Agriculture, especial ly of cotton. He has recently written book on The Ameri- can Cotton Industry, which was published by a prominent New York publishing house. Prof. De Loach is also editor of the Farm and Farmers Depart ment of the Atlanta Tri-W Weekly Constitution and is the author of an Agriculture for Common Schools, which is a text book in Georgia schools.

CANDIDATES FOR
COUNTY ASSESSOR

Another row" that Wa attract
great deal of interest when the cam
paign. begins to warm up next week
will be that between Jack Pohe
and Hun" Parker both of whom &c.
sire to assess Lyon County next year
Each recognizes the fact that he has a
foe worthy of his Steel" For four
years Mr.. Pohe has performed the
arduous duties of this office which to
the taxpayers is the most important
in the county. During his term the
valuations of the different kinds o.
property have greatly increased, and
the unequal assessments in the differ
ent counties of the State, have
made the adjustment in this County
much more difficult than had uni
form system of assessment prevail
ed throughout the commonwealth.
This formerly resulted in Lyon Coun'
ty bearing more OF the State
taxes than other counties and
the weight of the burden fell
heaviest on the farmers. To grea
extent this inequality has been remedi.
ed and to Mr.. Pohe great credit i
due for his efforts to secure the de
sired results. Mr. Parker is sue
cessful rancher who has many friend.
throughout the county who will earn
estly support him for the position.

THE SIN OF UGLINEss

Paint up, girls. It's all right. The
Rev. DR.. Philip Cone Fletcher, who
used to preach in st. Louis, and who,
in sanction of the Biblical Injunction
that it is not good for man to be
alone, opened courtship parlors at
Centenary church, is going around
the country now telling the daught-
ers of Eve that they have right to
paint and powder il paint and powd-
er are needed to make them more
beautiful.
Ugliness, he says, is a sin, when
there is plenty Of paint and powder
to convert ugliness into loneliness.
Since most ugly women were born
that way, ugliness, it would seem, is
original sin, for which there is con-
demnation if persisted in, and re-
demption through repentance and
salvation by the diligent use of the
paint brush and powder puff.
The woman who was porn with the
original sin Of ugliness and stays
ugly, but covers it up with calsomine,
would seem to have been purged
from the sin of ugliness only on the
outside, however.
The end and aim of painting is to
make the beholder believe that the
painted one was born that way, with
out the original sin of ugliness. If
paint is to be SO applied as to pro-
claim itself and confess the ugliness
it hides, then is painting vain, and
the last state of the painted person
is worse than the first.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

GOOD PLACE TO ECONOMIZE

Somebody should endow a night
school for wasteful business men.
A Philadelphia tailor has issued
one of the regulation announcements
about his fall "suitings" and cover
coatings." 1t is pretty enough card
and must have cost considerable
money.
But why should the tailor waste
his substance by sending that card
to me at four different addresses-of-
fee, residence and two clubs? saw
it the first time, so that the three
subsequent ones merely caused an
noyance.
One of the biggest business frauds
in the world as an advertising propo-
sition, is the ordinary mailing list. AS
an evidence of this business man
showed me circular addressed to
his father, who has been dead for six
years.
Mailing lists which contain the
names of the dead and which dupli-
cate three or four times the names of
the living cannot pass muster as
sound economics.
In the case of the tailor's card sent
to me at four different places, the
cost of postage was 800 per cent too
great, the cost of envelopes and cards
was 800 per cent too great, and the
cost Of addressing was 800 per cent
too great.
No wonder our suits come high.

Ledger.

PROBE HIGH COST OF LIVING
Hutchinson Committee Finds Some In.
teresting Facts While investisat-
ing Recent Boost In Prices.

A local committee which has been
probing into the cost Of necessities
Of life at Hutchinson reports some
rather unexpected results.
While the cost of meats has ad-
vanced from 80 to 70 per cent, and in
the case of lard, 100 per cent, over
prices of two years ago. farmers have
received only IS per cent more for
hogs and 16 per cent less for cattle.
Beef steers were quoted at $3.50 to
$3.50 in the Kansas City market, July
1, two years ago. The same day this
year they brought $50 to 1925 in
Kansas City, and November 2, when
this report was prepared, the same
kind Of steers sold for $3.50 to 1925
in Kansas City, a decrease of 16 per
cent
While the cost of living has ad.
vanced at high rate, the report
shows, wages Of common or unskilled
labor in Hutchinson, that two years
ago were $1.6O to $3.50 per day, are
the same today, and, generally speak.
ing, there has been no advance in
wages here.
A comparison of Kansas City prices
shows that in July this year whole.
sale prices Of beef averaged 20 per
cent more, while live cattle were
about 10 per cent higher than two
years ago; fresh pork shows an ad-
vance of 20 per cent, lard 80 per
cent. and live hogs 20 per cent.
