AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR
TRADE
April 10, 1916.

April 10, 1916.
Our business, having grown to very
large proportions (nearly 200 per
cent in the last two years. and ow-
ing, also, to the fact that our cred
itors are growing more insistent on
collecting their bills on time when
they are due, and to the further fact
that we are finding it very expen-
sive thing to handle a credit account
in connection with our business, and
being unable to obtain any more
capital to carry on our business, we
feel impelled to announce the follow
ing change in the handling of our
credit sales to take effect on and af-
ter April Is, 1916:
No credit to be extended beyond
80 days unless by bankable note with
10 per cent interest.
Persons desiring a thirty days
credit will be charged per cent ex-
ira Tor Sucn credltS. ms per cent
will be related to anyone coming to
the store and paying up all indebted
ness in full on or before the evening
of the first day of each month.
A minimum charge of cents for
each separate credit item will be
made, the same to be rebated as
above to persons coming to the store
and paying their accounts.
In connection with this we wish : J
announce that we will give rebate
to anyone paying up their old &C
count on or before May l, 1916, of 8
per cent if paid at the store.
Yours very truly,
ECONOMY STORE,

COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT

A few weeks ago an investigating
committee was appointed in congress
to see about the recent enormous in
crease in the price of gasoline and oil
products generally. The committee
set about its work with good deal
of fireworks and fanfaronade, and at
the time it seemed that it would only
be a day or two until Jawn d. and his
cohorts were in Jail. But the old ma
chine found wet place in the road,
skidded, and here is the pompous re-
port handed in by the committees:
IF prices are found to have been
raised to higher levels in some Sec
tions than in others, making due al
lowance for quality of product,
freight and marketing conditions, it
may be inferred that an element of
artificial manipulation has entered
into the advance"
This is a very lucid report, to be
sure, but the gasoline consumers
could have guessed the same thing
without the bother of having a con-
gressional committee tell them SO.

CLEANUP WEEK NOTICE

The attention of the public in gen.
eral and the mayors and fire chiefs
of towns in particular is called to the
fact that the week of April II to %
has been set apart by proclamation
of Governor Capper as Cleanup
Week in all the cities and towns and
on the farms of Kansas.
In view of the fact that an aver
age of over three million dollars
worth of property is consumed by
fire in Kansas each year and the fur
Their fact that nearly all fires are alb
solutely preventable, l wish to urge
upon both private citizens and pub
lie officials the importance of this
Cleanup Week.
Many fires may be traced directly
to accumulations of trash in fence
corners, yards, alleys, cellars and at
tics. These accumulations are es-
pecially common in the winter sea-
son. Spring, when nature puts on its
clean, fresh garments, is a very ap-
propriate time for cleaning up in and
around the habitations of man. Care
lessness has wrecked more homes
than siege guns.
The success of Cleanup Week de-
ponds on the efforts of all the people.
Will you do your part to save your
self and your neighbor from what
might be serious fire?

State Fire Marshal.

luckily did not prove very serious.
Lewis Glass of the seventh grade.
and a Davidson boy from the fifth
grade, were wrestling in the street
between the school house block and
the part Of the campus on the north
that is separated from 1t by the
street. The boys were down when
an auto came along the street. 1t
passed Immediately over the bodies of
the two boys but save for a few
bruises and considerable soreness for
few days they escaped unframed.
This is street that is rarely used
as the town people all know the two
blocks belong to the school and have
almost abandoned the opening be-
tween them as thoroughfare. We
are glad this was no worse.-Guymon

is KANSAS so CHEAP?

A committe appointed recently by
the Kansas State Board of Health to.
investigate the Kansas institutions,
found a most disgraceful and deplor-
able condition at the orphans home
at Atkinson. The children were not
properly cared for The committee
mentions the case of one boy afflicted
with a seriously infected leg, who
was suffering from lack of attention.
1t was almost noon when he was
found by the committee and he had
had no attention that morning, not
even his breakfast.
Such neglect could only come from
an insufficient number of attendants,
or from a slovenly order of service
from the attendants employed. The
committee believes it was from lack
Of attendants.
1t is well known that the state
hospital at Rosedale suffers from
lack of funds to employ sufficient
number of nurses and attendants. 1t.
is likely that every institution in the
state of Kansas suffers from the same
disgraceful predicament.
This week the Kansas governor
gives out report from an efficiency
commission" appointed by the COVER
nor, which recommends that one or
two employees be discharged from al
most all the Kansas institutions, in
Guiding the Ttchison orphans home
and the Rosedale hospital.
1t seems never to occur to the
Kansas Cheap John statesmen that
the most efficient thing Kansas could
do would be to take the proper care,
of its unfortunates.-Kan City

TOY OUTFIT FOR MAKING CON-
CRETE BLOCKS

Among the toys of a constructive
nature, which have been introduced
of late is concrete block making
outfit which has the double advant-
age of being educational as well as
entertaining. In the April Popular
Mechanics magazine the toy is de-
scribed with illustrations showing ev-
cry step taken in making the little
blocks. 1t is not surprising, in view
of the wide spread use of cement as
building material that children's
play things should be Influenced by
this product, but it is interesting to
note in what way this has manifested
itself. The toy in question is of very
modest proportions. Its parts con-
sist of a tiny bucket, combination
spade and tamper, a sheet metal NOR
tar box, a couple of iron castings and
wood blocks for moulding purposes,
and small bag of sand and cement
of the proper mixture. The whole
paraphernalia fits in paste board
box Of pocket size. With it a young
ster is able to make his own blocks,
and in half dozen shapes and di-
mansions. With these he may build
houses that look like houses, or a
whole city of them If he wishes. The
extent of his building operations de-
ponds solely upon his store of cement
which may be of almost any CONNER
cial brand. Here an advantage comes
too, for the boy, although he may be
only five or six years of age, for he
may learn to mix cement, mold it in
to different forms and then erect
something with the blocks thus pro-
duced. The educational value of this
is considerable, for a child teaches
himself something which is of per-
manent value and unconsciously in
stills in his makeup that spirit of en-
terprise which is most necessary for a
proper development.
