THE DowNrRoDDEN PRINTER

All over the state the country
papers are falling into line and ad-
vancing their subscription price
And it is high time, too, that the
newspaper were waking up. Every
thing used in a printing office has
increased in price from twenty-five
to sixty per cent, and as yet the end
is not in sight. People are paying
increased prices for everything they
buy with the exception of newspap-
erS. The war in Europe is directly
responsible for the advance in paper
and printing material. Rags, the
raw material from which much of
the paper stock is made, are also US
ed in the manufacture of high ex-
ploSives, and the price of rags has
been hoisted out of sight by shell
manufacturers French bleach and
many other necessary chemicals can
scarcely be purchased at any price,
and the paper mills see no relief in
sight for many many months Up to
date the Optimist has been absorb
ing the increased cost of paper, ink.
printers rollers and a dozen other
items, and we believe we could con-
tlnue to put out a paper for 81 90 a
year if our subscribers all paid their
subscription accounts in advance. At
the present time we are carrying five
or six hundred dollars in subscription
accounts on our books, and that is an
awful load when the high cost of
printing newspaper is taken into
consideration. We're almost per-
suaded to do three things: Cut every
delinquent off the list, raise the price
to S1.50 per year, and collect it in ad-
vance under any and all circumstan-
ces. If it becomes necessary to do
this we shall give our patrons at least
thirty days notice in advance

Tourist Club Turns Over Library
To the City

Whereas: The Tourist Club of
Wa-Keeney organized and maintain
ed Public Library until such time
as the city of Wa-Keeney could take
over and maintain said library:
And whereas: The city of Wa
Keeney has voted to establish and
maintain public library and has
voted the tax provided therefor by
law
Therefore, be it resolved: That
the Tourist Club of Wa-Keeney, now
will turn over to the city of Wa
Keeney for city library the books,
book stacks, book cases, shelves and
other property, belonging to the said
library. With the provision that the
mayor always appoint, at least two
members from the Tourist club upon
the Library Board.
SHORT HISTORY OF THE LIBRARY
Wa-Keeney, Kansas June so, 1916.
On November the oath, 1905. The
Tourist Club of Wa-Keeney voted to
each present a book or prevail Hpon
some friend to give one as a neucleus
for a city library, whereupon the
work of giving and soliciting grew TO
such an extent that March 80, 1916,
was made the date for presenting the
books to the library but the meeting
being postponed until April 7th that
became the date of the organization
of the Wa-Keeney library with 80
volumes not counting the govern
ment official reports. Mrs. Knudson
was the first librarian. From this
start the library has grown to now
S92 books besides many sets of mag
azines, Pooles Index for six years and
the readers guide. The Locust Club
and the Ellis Club donated generous
ly as did many people in and out of
town so that when the club voted to
give the library and library equip
ment to the city on June 80, 1916, for
a Free Public Library there is good
collection of books in good condi-
tion And we hope the citizens will
continue the interest for the welfare
of the library.

Few easterners realize how large
Kansas is. Any locality in Kansas is
just kansas to them From the
southeast corner of the state to the
northwest corner is almost five hun
dreu miles. as the crow flies. The
northwest corner is four hundred
miles nearer the mountains, three
degrees farther north, and more than
one half mile higher above sea level.
Because of these different conditions
there is from six to eight weeks diff
ference in seasons, comparing one
corner with the other.

KEEP OFF BULLETS

A movable bullet proof, to protect
soldiers in close hard fighting, has
been invented by Alfred S. Bailey
a Reno county farmer, who lives 6
miles southeast of Hutchinson.
Mr.. Bailey received patent for his
new machine on June 18th and this
is the first time the general pubic
has been told any of the details con-
cerning it.
1t has been the problem ever since
the evolution of modern warfare to
find some protection for men against
rifle fire. 1t has been admitted, that
if such protection could be found,
that present day fighting would be
revolutionized.
1t is possible to protect man with
armor so that he cannot be struck by
bullets, but the armor will be too
heavy for the man to move.
Mr.. Bailey will solve the problem
with his bullet proof
The front of this is sheet of steel,
Is of an inch treated armor plate,
which will turn the bullet of the
modern army rife at any range
The front of the machine is sheet
of this steel 10 feet long and feet
higii. 1t extends feet back The
bullet proof is mounted on steel
wheels. with roller bearings. The
front plate may be propped level to
the ground by levers. or it can be
raised B feet off the ground for trans
portation- 1t is guided by a rudder
wheel inside of the shield.
When the shield is in action, there
Is rack which comes down three
feet from the top, making the shield
double decker, and available for
9 men on each deck. The loopholes
are on ball and socket joint making
it impossible for an enemy's bullet to
penetrate the shield. The shield
weighs 900 pounds, or so pounds tc
the man in action.
Mr.. Bailey has the shield equipped
with chemical contrivance which
will cut any wire entanglements en-.
countered.
He has already interested the Ca
madam, English and French govern
ment with his shield, and is now try
ing to interest the United States

Marshal M. w Cole picked uu a
printed circular among the transient
men this week, going to show the
purpose of the organization known as
the Industrial Workers of the World
The circular is headed warning to
Hi-Jacks, Bootleggers, Holdups, Gam
blers, ETC., in the Harvest Fields. -
After setting forth the dangers such
characters subject themselves to in
interfering in any way with a loyal 1.
w. W., the circular goes on to say:
The I. w. w. is labor organiza-
tion- 1t is fighting for better condi-
tions for the workers. The Agricui-
tural Workers Organization is only a
branch of the l. w. w. or the one
big union of all the workers. It win
be the policy of this union to clear
the field of all opposition, whether
that opposition appears in friendly
form or otherwise. The A. W. o. is
out to organize the Migratory Work
ers for the purpose of getting higher
wages, shorter hours and better
working conditions. We do not pro-
pose TO have our organization work
interered with by Hi-Jacks, Boot
ieggers, Gamblers, or any other ele-
ment. To any one who has any
schemes of personal advancement, to
exploit, where the wage workers are
calculated to be the victims, we wish
to say, ''you had better get out of the
way" Your game won't go."-Rus-
sell Record.
