CITY MEAT MARKET CHANGES

Chas. Rogers, who recently came
here from Liberal and purchased the
City Meat Market and Ice Plant, has
sold the meat market department to
Ward & Anderson, who assumed
charge Of the business Tuesday morn
ing.
The new proprietors of the City
Meat Market are both meat cutters
and butchers and understand every
angle of the business from the buying
o five stock to the proper dispensing
of the finished product. They are
both we'll known here and have many
friends who will be glad to know that
they are identified with this popular
market.
Chas. Rogers retains the ice plant,
which has been placed in first elias
condition for the manufacture Of ice.
He will also maintain a cold storage
room and may perhaps handle perish
able merchandise and cold drinks in
a wholesale way.-Bucklin Banner.

trary were hurting him. If the gov
eminent would guarantee present
prices at harvest time next fall we
would not object, but there will be no
such guarantee, and when the new
crop is ready for delivery it will no
doubt be found that there was more
raised than was anticipated, and the
price will go down. It is amusing to
hear some of the writers on the met
ropolitan papers try to discuss mat
tiers of this kind. This one seemed to
think that the farmer only planted
large acreage when the price prom
Used to be good. If this should be
true there would only be few small
gardens most of the time. The far
mer, as rule, plants every acre he
owns or can farm, regardless of
whether the price promises to be
good or not, as he has to make liv-
ing for himself and family. He is
not in the position to regulate his
acreage according to the prospective
price. If some of the writers would
quit worrying for fear the farmers
would not do their duty and go after
the real cause Of the trouble they
could render far greater service to

This paper has had but little to say
regarding the war. We never used
up one line of space urging the Pres
ident or Congress. to declare war. So
far as we are concerned they acted
upon their own initiative. We were
in hopes all the time that some
means would be found to prevent a
conflict. In the best judgment of
the present and congress nothing re-
NAMED to be done but to declare a
state of war existing. We abide by
their decision. We have no sugges-
tions to offer as to how they shall
conduct the war. When it becomes
necessary to say good-by to our fam
lily and take our place at the front to
stop the bullets of the enemy we shall
do so with the simple idea of doing
our bit for the good of humanity,
and shall do so as willingly as one
can. Until that time we shall place
no stones in the way of the admins
tration by criticism or SUGGESTIONS.
We consider that we are in no posi-
ton to advise the government and
have sufficient faith in the men at
its head to rest on their decisions.
Whenever we can be of any assist
ance in our small way we are at the
service of the government. Outside
of these principles we are not
strongly warlike. We don't believe
in war as a general thing, and the
only satisfaction we can get out of
the present struggle is the hope that
when it is over the United States will
be in position to dictate terms of
peace that will forever do away with
war.

There are still some writers who
are wont to call up the time worn
subject of Excepting the boy on the
farm.,, We nave thought a great
deal on the subject, and the more we
thought the further we got away
from the solution of the problem Of
keeping the boy on the farm. It may
be possible that there is some way of
doing it, but having at one time been
one of those things, we know some
thing of the difficulty in keeping a
boy anywhere. The fact of the mat
ter is that if boy doesn't want to
stay on the farm there is no use try
ing to keep him there, he won't be
worth whoop if he does stay. Com
mon sense should dictate that the boy
not be "kept" on the farm. If there
is any way in which he can be inter-
ested so he will desire to stay it will
be different and he will make good.
There are many ways in which this is
possible, but as we reason it out the
average boy is going to stay where he
can do the best and have the best
time. Under proper conditions there
is no place on earth where the boy
can have better time on the farm.
The principal requisite for good
time is little money to spend and
an opportunity to get ahead in the
world and when the farm makes this
a sure proposition then it will not be
necessary to keep the boy there-it
will be hard to get him way. When
the government gets rid of specula-
tors who get the cream of the labor
Of the farmer, leaving he and the
boys all the work and none of the
pleasure the problem will have been
solved. The first step in this line is
the government ownership of rail
roads which will equalize freight
rates. The next step is to establish
a fixed price for farm products. The
farmer must sell his products at har-
vest time and when it has all passed
from his hands the price goes up and
as consequence he is worse off than
in the beginning, as the price of other
commodities hike when his hikes and
he has to buy with the proceeds of his
crop at harvest prices. Cut out the
gambling and make farming bust
ness proposition and see the boys get
busy.

8 There Is one feature in the Wich-
ita Beacon that alone is worth the
subscription price-the Everett True
cartoons. True is a man who be-
lieves in practicing what one preach
es, and goes about compelling others
to do the same. In Fridays paper
he was shown talking to one of the
fellows who had been criticising the
government for not declaring war.
True asked him if he was going to en-
list, and the fellow replied that he
was not. The next scene showed
both at the desk of the recruiting off
Ger. True, pointing at the fellow
who was considerably battered up,
remarked that his friend was still a
bit dazed and as soon as he came to
his right mind wanted to enlist. We
believe it is the duty of every man
who can do so to seek out the re-
Cruting officer and enlist, and es-
pecially the fellows, who for the past

Washington accounts Of the sub
marine menace sound pessimistic, and
to some extent may be deliberately so
to arouse American energies in every
direction. 1t was reported from Lon
don that last week had made par
ticularly bad record, but that so
much as 100000 tons of shipping
were sunk in single week had not
been limited. This is the statement
now given out at Washington Off
cially. How important it appears
from comparison with the official
German claim only a week before
that the total February and March
submarine losses were million tons.
In a single week are now reported
losses equivilant to those claimed by
the Germans for rs days in Febru-
airy or March. Whether this is mere
ly an exceptionally lucky week for
the U-boats or marks the kind of de-
struction that they are able to carry
out right along, now that the weather
has opened, remains to be seen.
The other statement from Wash,
ington, that Germany is supplied with
two years food, will not be taken
merely on faith. The government
will have to show where Mr.. Hoover
got his information, where Germany
got two years food supply, and how
such a report can be reconciled with
the food rioting turnout the empire.
Exaggerated tales of this sort are
hardly necessary to convince Amer
lean farmers to do their utmost to
improve the situation of the allies, or
to stimulate naval enlistment.-Cap-
ital.

Germany is again talking peace.
The Kaiser must pull off this little
show occasionally to keep his sub
Jects fooled into wasting their sub
stance and lives in a vain effort to
win lost war The Kaiser is thick
headed enough to still think he can
bluff the deal through, and his peo-
pie, through ignorance stand by him.
Peace talk at this time is sheer rot.
Peace is coming alright, but through
no fault or effort of the Kaiser.
When licked beyond all reason of a
doubt, and kicked off the thrown,
peace will come to the Kaiser and the
world. There is no doubt about the
approach of peace, but since he has
subjected the entire world to pun
ashment the Kaiser will have nothing
to do with it. When the peace pro-
gram is made up his name will not
appear thereon. The Kaiser must
go, and the United States of whose
powers he thought so little, will have
a large part in framing the terms of
peace, and therefore it is good-by to
Kaiser bill. The United States ad-
mires him like it does a rattle-snake
and will give him just about as much
recognition in peace conference.

! It is said that the Kaiser will in
sist upon Belgium being a part of
his kingdom when peace is made.
But for the interference of Belgium
this whole war might now have been
over, with the Kaiser sitting on top.

frustratd the plans of the German
government and no chances will be
taken for recurrence of the trouble
However Belgium need not worry.
Kaiser Bill will have no territory
when the war is over. 1t has been
decreed that his hide is the goal and
the process Of removal is now in
operation.

HOW TO TELL A GERMAN FLAG

The flag of Germany used in every
place except on battle ship is COM
posed of three broad stripes, red,
white and black, which run the full
length of the flag. No other mark
distinguishes it. The flag used on a
German battle ship is white with two
black stripes the length and width of
the flag, making large cross and
three small black, white and red
stripes and small cross in the upper
left hand corner.-Cedar Rapids Ga

Possibly you will remember, dear
readers, that we said last week in
these columns that the city dailies
would make no great cry for govern
ment regulation of food prices. We
were reading an editorial in one of
them few days ago, and the writer
had evidently been seized with vio-
lent pain judging from the wall he
sent up. 1t would never do, he said,
to regulate food products, as the high
prices of today were the only thing
that would induce the farmer to raise
crops. Of course it sounded pretty
good to the farmer on first reading
but he neglected to mention that the
present high prices were not doing
the farmer any good-on the con-
