WHAT THE RED CROSS is
The Federal Government is Depend
ing on this Noble Organization
to Help it out of Serious
Difficulty

We hope every reader of this pa
per will read every word of this ar
ticle. It had to do with an organiza-
ton that is vital not only to the wei
fare and comfort of the thousands of
our boys who will soon be on the fir
ing line of the greatest war the world
has ever known, but vital also to the
very life of this nation-THE RED
CROSS
What is the Red Cross? 1t is an
organization of thousands of men and
women for the purpose of giving aid
and succor to sick and wounded SOL
diers on the firing line, in the field
hospitals and base hospitals, when the
soldies is home on sick leave, or wher-
ever he may be found needing aid.
And bear in mind this is done for
any soldier of any nation; it is a
work of humanity, and humanity
knows no difference in the suffering
and affection of men.
Thousands of our young men are
now being listed for mobilization on
the firing line of this disastrous war.
How many of them will soon lie
wounded and sick unto death in the
trenches or on the open field of bat
tie God only knows. What are YOU
going to do for their assistance? The
government of the United States is
totally unprepared to undertake the
work of caring for them, and the no
BILE men and women at the head of
the Red Cross have undertaken the
herculean task.

toned to be raised by Kansas. The

Editing a Newspaper

Editing a newspaper is a pleasing
business you can stand it.
If subscribers want TO bawI out
anybody-the editors the goat.
If business is bad-it's because the
editor wants too much money for his
advertising space.
If business is good advertising
hasn't anything to do with it, but
conditions are right.
If we print what pleases people
that is our duty and we deserve no
credit.
If we print what displeases-
are crouch, and a crape-hanger
and don't deserve the patronage OF
the public.
If we print the news as it is actual
ly-peOple call US over the phone and
tell US to stop their paper.
If we garble it-they tell US we
are subsidized by the corporate inter
ests.
Editing a newspaper is a pleasing
business like it.-Bristoe (Mo J

Few Business slackers in Kansas

rev Business SlackGrS IN Kansas
More than 260 Kansas factories,
mills and industrial plants have en-
rolled in possible government war
service by reporting their facilities
to the state industrial survey made
under the direction of the Naval Con
sulting Board. Previous to America
entering the war 210 such plants had
made reports to the government.
Since then more than fifty have sent
in reports. Less than forty Kansas
plants considered avilable practically
for government service have sent IN
reports. Only factories, mills and
plants doing business of 100000 or
more year are considered. There
are about 800 such plants in the
state. Prof. W. A. Whitaker of the
University of Kansas, who is head of
the industrial survey for the consult
ing board, says the failure of these
plants to report is because of care
lessness and non-realization of the
seriousness of the time and not be-
cause their owners are slackers. AL
are being urged to report at once.

FORTY YEARS SUCCESS

For a business to be successful for
forty years means a great deal. Among
other things, it means remarkable ex-
cellence in the products it sells. No
inferior article can be sold on a large
scale for so many years; and it must
not only be good at the outset, but so
good that the progress of forty years
shall not develop any better article

pend upon that old, tried and tested
