HELPING MAIL ORDERS

A railroad man said this week
that 40 mail order shipments were
unloaded from one road in Manhat-
tan the other day. The Tribune of
that town explains another side
OF it: "A local farmer took straw
berries to a Manhattan merchant
and received 80 a crate for them.
He learned that the same merchant
on the same day had paid $3.50 a
crate for inferior berries from Ar
kansas. When the farmers are then
appealed to to trade at home to
keep the money at home and build
up the town, they think some things
that are not always printable. They
also think that it might be as well
for the merchants to trade at home
and build up the country. The mat
ter is referred to the retailers as
ISOLATION and the commercial club
for further discussion. In this same
connection might be considered the
complaint of another farmer who
told us that he quit making butter
when he found that the merchants
we're paying an outside creamery
twenty per cent more for butter
than they would pay him even
though his butter was of a stan
dard that gave the store special
patrons for his make. In trying to
settle the mail order problems 1t is
just as we'll to get all the facts on
both sides and then get together
for the home community on a basis
that is really for the good of the
whole"

The 140th birthday of the United
States brings a celebration that Is
more touched with serious thoughts
Of what the nation is and ought to
be than any other in this genera
ton. The awakening of American
ism and the devotion to the ideals
in government are in the peoples
hearts. One hundred million citi-
zens are looking forward with hope
to an era of peace and prosperity
and are hoping that by another In
dependence day there may be pass
ed the serious condition in which
the world, including our nation, is
facing events But there is faith
in our love of the republic and
confidence that the United States
will in the end be the one nation
maintaining peace and carrying for
ward its work for civilization with
honor and glory.

CURTIS MAKES PLEA FOR
FORT RILEY BRIDGES

Washington, July 2.-Senator
Charles Curtis appeared before the
military affairs committee of the
senate and made special plea for
the two bridges and road at the
Fort Riley reservation, covered in
an amendment he had already pre-
scented to the committee for its CON
sideration.
One of the bridges asked for is
TO be of cement, built across the
smaller stream to replace the one
that was taken out by the flood
couple of years ago. The plan con-
templates a handsome structure. a
model in bridge building of this
kind. The other is to be of steel
across the Kansas river to repair
and replace the one partially de-
stroyed by explosion and fire.
The macadam road already start
ed through the west end of the
reservation will be completed if the
amendment urged by Senator Curtis
is adopted.

Another thing to think about: The
manufacturers Of munitions of war
have sold 100000 worth of guns
and ammunition to Mexicans within
year. Now that we are to fight
them this merchandise of death will
be used to kill our soldiers. But we
presume the manufacturers don't
care, and Woodrow ought to be
pleased for it was on his order that
the embargo was raised and our
manufacturers were allowed to sell
to Mexico. And to those who want
war, it is matter of great pleas

This campaign is to have no SUI

when he sent his resignation to
Wilson. In that document, momen-

were no surplus words, no express

associations, no bouquets for the
president. 1t amply served notice
that the justice was off one job and

The Mexican situation is now in
such a muddled condition that it is
doubtful If even the Mexicans know
what they want to do. 1t recalls the
plan of the engineer who laid out
the first paving in Abilene. HIS
idea was to build the curbing
around one of the Business blocks
so that the water would run around
the block and eventually evaporate,
thus avoiding the necessity of drain

Special to the Reflector:
Washington, July 3.-No reply
has yet been received from Carranza.
He is reported to be at Mexico City
reviewing his armies and getting
new forces into shape for big at
tack. 1t is feared that he does not
intend to make any overtures for
peace but to go ahead and continue
trouble. There is no confirmation
here that Wilson has ordered the
withdrawal of troops from Mexico,
as reported unofficially.
Washington, July 3.-High ad-
officials and many Of
ficers declared that President viii
son is determined to withdraw the
United States troops from Mexico
and that this withdrawal actually
has begun. They asserted that in
their opinion the president has de-

will not intervene unless Carranza

WOULD TAKE BIBLE TO RICH

PITY the poor rich, for they are the
poorest of all. They are barricaded
against the Bible. If the Master him
self were to undertake to carry his
message personally to the hotels and

peddlers are allowed.
So Rev. Joseph w. Kemp, pastor OF

me the Sunday sermon in which he
said that the crying need OF religion
in this city IS to put Bibles in the
homes of the wealthy"
How hardly shall they who have
riches enter into the kingdom of
heaven" the divine earnestly quoted.
1t is not that the possession of riches
is inconsistent with Christianity. but
that the rich grow to worship the
creature Of their own brains-money.
They believe that riches may be count

True riches are within. There are
millionaires of the mind Rockefellers
OF the soul. and they are found often

GREEK WOMEN STILL DRUDGE
Modern Emancipation of the Sex Has
Not Yet Arrived in That
Country.

The position Of women ID modern
Greek life is semioriental. to say the
least. While the great ladies of Ath-
ems have an active social career,
jreek women, generally speaking, have
no individuality.
At parties the women generally sit
apart. while in the country they are
almost never to be found at table If
guests are present, and upon them
falls the greater portion of the labor Of
the household.
Following the pillow, harvesting and
work upon the roads are common en-
Payments for the Greek peasant
woman. Unmarried, her parents and
her brothers control her conduct, and
q husband means merely a change Of
masters for whom she tolls while he
sits at ease.
An improvement. however, is gradu-
ally developing. The Greek. much
more than some OF his Balkan neigh
bors, has outgrow1 the notion that
