Want 70


Back Of all genuine Service Is a
warm Willingness and a restless De-
sire to render that Service. In other
words. the Want To spirit is there.
1t is about the healthiest quality that
a man or woman can cultivate.
Render Service because you Want
To.
To be guided in your conduct SOLE
ly by mere Duty is to follow the
hind end remnant of musty moral
ity. Duty, without the Want To
garment. Is bare. For Want To Is
Love OF Doing-that which makes
the most menial task easy and grand
to perform.
Want To-then you will Love To.

Laior conditions in Norway are
rather complicated Just now. Except
the building trades. whose agree
ments do not expire till next year,
nearly all the important trades are ne
gotiating with their employers. The
miners are locked out. the lockout
embr acing about $500 men. The shoe
factory employees. the workers in
electrochemical industries, the bakers
all over the country. and the brewery
workers have given notice that their
agreements expire May l. Those OF
the wood pulp and paper workers and
the saving and planning mill hands
expire in September. The deck and
machine hands and the mates Of the
coast steamers also are negotiating
for new agreep. ents. The engineers
have agreed 70 a renewal OF the old
contracts with a 20 per cent addition
to their wages. The employers argue
that while some of the industries are
at present prospecting nobody can tell
what the future may have in store
for them. The employers do not
wish to commit themselves TO new
three-year contracts providing con-
siderable increases in wages. What
they want is a prolongation Of the
present agreements for one year only.

Sees gnd Of Kansas PrOsresslves.

Kansas farmers have not protited
much from the sensational rise in the
price of wheat, due to the European
war, according to David w. Mulvane
of Topeka, former member of the Re-
publican national committee.
There is not more than 20 per
cent of the Kansas wheat crop remain
Mr.. Mulvane MANY of the farmers
sold large part Of their wheat at 80
cents and some at 81 bushel. Few
received more than 81 bushel. The
advance in the price, therefore, has
not benefited our Kansas farmers to
any great extent, though you may be
sure the Kansas farmer is pretty
prosperous person. Wheat at dollar
a bushel is a profitable crop"
Mr.. Mulvane believes Kansas will
go Republican beyond doubt.
I'VE elected a United States sena-
tor last November and the state tick
ct, though only two Republican menu
bers of congress pulled through" said
Mr.. Mulvane. THAT is not strange,
however, for there were Progressive
candidates in every congressional dis
trict, which, of course, operated to
the advantage of the Democrats. Next
year there will not be any Progressive
party in Kansas, as there will be none
in other states, and the Republicans
and Democrats will have straightout
fight. Whenever this occurs the Re-
publicans will win, for Kansas is q
rock-ribbed Republican state"
