GRAND AUTOMOBILING DAY
Motorists Drove to Many of Sur
rounding Towns

After fresh air enthusiasts had
been badly scared by the weather
man Saturday, who predicted colder
weather for Sunday, the conditions
turned out to be in every way fav-
orable for motoring and yesterday
people were out in crowds. Walk
ing, motoring and riding were all
in vogue. Everyone who drove to
the country was enthusiastic over
the days diversion and each thought
he had discovered and gone over
the prettiest drive in the state.
Some went to Junction City, many
to Salina and Solomon and others to
Clay Center, Chapman, Enterprise
and south to Harrington and Wood
bine. In all, it was a grand day for
automobiling.

The Harrington Times gives this
commentator to one of it's most
prominent citizens: A good many
Republicans in Herington and abb
lene believe they have found a man
who would make a mighty good
man for the legislature. This office
has heard many Herington people
suggest his name and 1t knows that
a number of Abilene people look
upon him with favor. Whether he
will run or not is a question. A
Times man asked DR.. Mott Tuesday
If he was going to accept the call
and he said he had the matter I'M
der advisement. Should he decide to
go after the office. he will have
strong support in all sections Of
the county.

Charles Dillon's analysis of a fl
nancier is interesting: "a financier
is one who borrows ten dollars and
bonds it for fifteen; issues common
stock on 1t for thirty and preferred
stock for forty-five; organizes a
trust company to handle the whole
with a capital of one hundred and
fifty and reserves for himself fifty
one per cent of the capital. Not for
getting in the meantime to credit
himself with the original ten for
promotion and charging the man
who loaned 1t to him twenty for al
lowing him to have a few shares in
the resultant trust company"

There has been lot of talk late
ly in Washington about the attempt
of congress to hamper the presi-
dent" in his diplomatic negotia-
tons The thought is ridiculous
nothing ever hampers Wilson. The
pledges of the Baltimore platform
did not hamper him when he want
ed to wipe out the free canal tolls,
nor when he decided to run again.
His own words and deeds have
never hampered him when he was
decided to change his mind and try
another tack. To hamper Wilson is
an impossibility. He is as free as
the wind, always-and as change
able.

Lawrence Gazette Here is a fun
ny thing: The demand for primar-
les for electing all candidates and
delegates and the liked seemed to
be universal in Kansas, and so the
primary law was passed. Now the
Republicans live up to the letter
and spirit of the that law, even
when 1t does not apply, while the
Democrats pay no attention to it
whatever, except where they must
do it. II the Republicans duck or
shy from it, there is a storm Of dis
approval, and yet, a few Democrats
meet in a private room somewhere,
choose delegates and fix things up,
Just the same as in the oIden time,
and no one hears a protest against
their action. If the Republicans
should try the trick, there would be
a roar from one end of the state to
the other.

AGENT BRINGS SUIT TO
COLLECT 5000 COMMISSION

According to the petition filed in
the office of clerk of district court,
William Wilkenim in December,
1915, employed A. H. Albright as
agent to find a purchaser for his
$50 acres of land in Logan town
ship. 1t is stated Albright found a
buyer, Isaac Riffel, who bought the
farm, the consideration being SEA-
600. Albright was to have 21a per
cent commission which amounted to
5000. This he claims has not been
paid, Wilkenim refusing to do so,
and so he has filed suit against
Wilkenim for that amount. The
case will be tried in the May term
of court.

DYE sTuFFS

The following is taken from a
pamphlet Of a leading clothing
manufacturer sent to an Abilene
businessman and tells it's own story:
Germany, the source of supply of
modern dyestuffs for the whole
world, can export none. This coun-
try has used up practically all we
had and all we could buy from
China and elsewhere.
A dye formerly worth zoe a
pound recently sold for $1,000 a
pound, and when delivered had
been diluted 600 per cent, so that
1t really sold at $1,000 per pound
of original strength.
Some mills have already returned
to the od-fashioned vegetable dyes
of our grandfathers.
In spite Of the sensational news
paper stories to the contrary, 1t will
be a long time before an adequate
supply of colors can be produced in
this country. Who will invest the
large amount of capital that a mod
ern dye plant requires when same
will be mere scrap heap the day
after peace is declared under the
present tariff?
Given adesuate tariff protection,
American brains and money will
produce all and as good colors as
can be made anywhere, but even
they cannot be expected to do over
night what 1t has taken Germany
several generations to accomplish.
If protected by an adequate tariff
and allowed to keep what we are
now getting and spend it among
ourselves-many years of wonder
full prosperity. Shall we have 1t?

EIGHTY sPoRTsMEN AT SHOOT
Junction City Gun Club Won Cup
from Chapman by Low Margin

Eighty trap shooters from all over
the state were at Chapman yester-
day for the annual registered tour
nament of the Chapman Gun club
held on st. Patrick's day. The
weather was ideal and the attend
ance was a record breaker There
was much local interest and the
Chapman sportsmeu are we'll pleas
ed with the days events. Junction
City won the silver loving cup from
Chapman by one target.
Dinner and supper were served by
the ladies of the Congregational
church. Several went down from
here.
Ed. O'Brien, the great Kansas
marksman, who failed to show his
best form in the mid-winter tourn-
ament held last month in Kansas
City, led the shooters in the pre-
liminary events. He broke 81 out of
a possible 100 in the professional
class.
George X. Mackie of Lawrence
was high gun among the amateurs,
only five targets in a hun
dred attempts. Jack Elliott, the
Kansas City amateur and G. G.
Dockhorn of Chapman tied for sec
ond place with "a each. In third
place with SO were Perry Frazier of
Chapman and Steve Hoyne of Sa-
lima. Frazier was local high man.

Claus Spreekkels, president OF
the federal sugar refining trust.
says the repeal of the free sugar
clause of the Democratic tariff law
will cost the people of this country
$90,0O0,0OO. Anyway a large COB of
the sum will not go into the peck
cts of the seaboard sugar refiners.
1t will give the beet sugar people a
chance to keep the price down to
normal, and the cane sugar growers

DAIRY INDUSTRY IMPORTANT


The following from recent issue
OF the Statesman does much TO show
the importance of the dairy industry
OF this state and what ia being done
in some localities to aid In its growth
and development:
Boise people spend $l4ll.lO daily
for dairy products.
Such is the statement OF o. p. Hen
dershot, secretary of the Gem State
fair, who has just complied statistics
along this line alter thorough in
vestigation of the subject. This Is
Bolse's payroll for the farmer" he
says, and Is of more Importance
than most people are aware"
MEMBERSHIPS figures do not include
a number of individual farmers who
sell at private sale throughout the
city, OF these he had no reliable
record and therefore eliminated them
from his statement. This means that
Boise pays out for butter milk,
cheese and other by-products, $685.
O54.50 each year. all OF which money
goes to other states, but to the
farmers in this district.
Through the efforts OF the Com
mercial club and Mr.. Hendershot. the
banks are favoring a proposition to
furnish money to the farmers for the
OF buying cows. providing the
creameries will borrow the money
from the banks and sell the cows
to the dairymen, taking their notes
In payment. In return the dadrymen
are to turn over 80 per cent of the
gross receipts from butter Fat, to be
applied on the note. The bank will
use the note as collateral security,
and give "gentleman's agreement"
to the factories that when the notes
are due they win extend them and a.
low sufficient time for the dairymen
to pay.
Under this arrangement Ii 10 UNI
lerstood that farmers In this district
viii add several thousand cows to
their herds, and that the dairy In
iustry with become a more Important
