Committee Informed That Panama

Because of Slides

Washington, Feb. 24.-Interna-
tional considerations which moved
the navy general board to change
its time honored policy last year
and declare that the United States
navy should equal the strongest
afloat by not later than 1925 will
be disclosed to the house naval COM
mite in executive session by Rear
Admiral Charles ]. Badger, a mem
Der of the board. Examination of
Admiral Badger in open session was
concluded, the admiral consistently
refusing to discuss, except behind
closed doors, the boards views of
dangers that may confront the ma
ton.
He explained, however, that a
fleet capable of dominating the Pa
cific ocean was the only sure pro-
lection for the Pacific coast and
said that the earth slides in the
Panama canal had made impossible
for the present and possibly for an
other year the use of the fleet in
either ocean.

The day he resigned from office
some one hung a card on Secretary

he could not remain in Woodrow

there. He would hardly put it that

time cards to handle the traffic
that takes money. Eureka, in Green
wood county, has long had a worsl
depot than Abilene. We are at worl
on that and these are likely to b,
the only ones we can spare none,

Then the question of an afternoon
train to Manchester came up. Good
idea-but we'll take that up at 4
o'clock and I'll have some other Of

verdict.
"And the Buckeye crossing is
very dangerous; 1t needs a flag
man" Mr.. Geoffroy thought he
might as we'll go down the list. "All
right" said Mr.. Kouns. 1--WE don't
want any accidents and We'll take
it up Immediately. If needed there'il
be a Waterman on duty. Always glad
to have our attention called to needs

The committee could think of
nothing and started to go. Whats

him strength and Clay county should

the Progressive wing of the Repub-
lican party. AS far as known every
other candidate comes from the
conservative wing. This is the year
the Republicans are trying to get
together. Why not select from this
district one progressive and one
conservative? Everything points to
the fact that Mr.. Hanna should be

THE MAIL ORDER FLOOD

This is the season of the veal
when Uncle Sans mail wagons have
more than they can handle.
The catalogue output of eastern
mail order houses is the reason.
Salina this week received more
than $4,000 pounds of catalogues
from a New York mail order house
They will be re-distributed from
Salina to every section in this part
of the state.
Hutchinson last week was the
distributing point for fourteen cal
loads of catalogs. Wichita was the
distributing point for as many
more.
At this time of the year the mail
order houses flood the land with
catalogs containing every magma
BILE article that purchasers desire.
The temptation flutters down in
voluminous books with plenty Of
illustrations and figures which ap-
parently are better than those Of
fered for the same product at home
These catalogs are arranged in a
way to attract the short-sighted
purchaser. The arguments for the
reduced price are plausible.
If you are a mail order citizen
and cut your home merchant cold
you are paying for these catalogs
which are unusually expensive this
year. You do not realize perhaps
that you are hampering your COM
munity by refusing to support it.
No thought of community enter
prise enters the head of a confirm
ed mail order citizen. He Is the
type that is the snag in the pro-
gress of his neighborhood.
The mail order literature adver-
tises that the house desires to save
you money and lists prices that APP
parently confirm it. There's no SEN
timent in the thing. There would be
none If the mail order house could !
save you money, which it does not.
You pay the cost of transportion,
and other items which
come high with the mail order
houses when you purchase there. Be-
sides you brand yourself as the zero
degree of a citizen.
II you make your living in Kan
sas turn it back to Kansas. Don't be
/ flivver and send your money to
New York and Chicago and then
howl because you are misunderstood
at home. "-Salina Journal.
