We Need Prosperity for the War

Americas success in the war de-
ponds on the continuation of her
business prosperity.
We have the word of no less an
authority than Howard E. Coffin, of
the Council of National Defense, for
this statement. He says:
Unemployment and closed fac
and ill-advised campaigns for public
and private economy, will prove a
vertitable foundation of quicksand
for the serious work we have at
hand. We need prosperity in war
time even more than when we are at
peace. Business depressions are al
ways bad, but doubly so when we
have fight on our hands
''The declaration of war can have
no real evil effect on business. What
bad effects are apparent are purely
psychologist and largely of our own
foolishness. We need more business
not less. There is real danger in
hysteria. Indiscripninate economy
have successful industries if success
full tax levies are to be raised"
Every true American is anxious to
''do his bit" for his country. There
is no way In which those who cannot
participate IN actual warfare can do
more than to keep right on doing
business as usual.
It is proposed to 'tpay our way as
we go,'' instead of saddling our child
rem with bond issues OF large amount.
The only way we can do this is to
keep money circulating. Money hid
den away In safety deposit vaults is
useless. When it is in motion 1t is
doing the utmost good.
Keep right on doing as you are
now. The only danger we face is
the danger Of our own cowardice.
Buy what you need, as you need
It. Be thrifty, as the president has
counseled-but do not be misery.
Lend your support m the usual way
to those industries which must meet
the expense of the war through tax
alton.
s'Do your bit'' by being cool-head-
ed. unafraid, and helping to keep
| business normal. It's the biggest
single necessity so a successful war
fare.

The Passing of Famous Land Mark

With the passing of the peach tree
passes the last visible link which con-
meets the old Hays of the wild West

Forty years ago Michael Haffamier
planted 1t in front of his residence at
the corner of what was later Chest
nut and North Main streets. This
week a crew of men who are laying
the first pavement in Hays uprooted
it.
''Peach tree corner" is known
wherever the stories of the frontier
days in Hays are known. Dodge
City in its palmiest days was perhaps
wilder than Hays but certainly not
more wicked. Haffamier is now in
the plumbing business IN Hays and
early moved away from peach tree
corner" A saloon followed him on

office of an early boom period, Ny
ers, Jones and Fox. After it Jimmy

saloon. Every one knew it by the

| ings, robberies and the usual things
| which accompanied the times took
/ place under the branches of that tree
| N front OF the saloon Once when
/ Jimmy NOrmoyie was away the au-
thorities raided the place and took
fourteen girls to jail. When he re-
turned he calmly walked up to the
wooded structure where the inmates
of his place were in custody and shot
off the hinges of the jail's doors
| Nothing of course was ever done
about it Many times men with huge
sums of money were traced as far as
that corner and then forever lost.

GOING WEST

Some Tommy unknowingly coined
a beautiful phrase for death when he
wrote home that HBilI had gone west"
War may breed fatalists who say if
the bullet is meant for them it will
get them, 50 march on, march on,
but it does not take the adventure
some aspect from their view of the
final departure. We read of intrepid
soldiers sinking into the last sleep
with a smile and a half murmured
expression of satisfaction. We do
not know what they saw. We know
they felt something as they slipped
from the noise and pain Of battle into
that freer, mystic land of the west
toward the setting sun, from which
there is no returning.
Wars toll Of human lives has in
ured US to shocking casualty lists until
we wonder if reality has crowded out
sentiment, but almost ceaseless re-
petition has not changed the aspect
of the last mastering out. The High
lander drops mortally wounded but
unmindfuI of what surrounds him
he's back in his ain countree, with a
wisp of a girl or with his mother fol-
| the goodbye, and he goes out. Per
| haps the fatal messenger stops the
irish lar or he's whistling Garry
Owen and the eyes lose their twinkle
but he goes west seeing those he
| loved best. The fatal bullet is great
Ieveler and clears the screen.
All must go west some day. We
do not think of this unless it ii
brought home wildly by events
When the curtains of eternity are
parted we may enter on the great
adventure as Daniel Frohman term
ed it, or simply ego west" as the
Tommy wrote with anticipation anC
interest because the bitterest war:
and a life of many battles viii no
take away the mystery.-Salina Jour

made in japan"


''Made in Nippon" Matches bear
ing that label have crept into all the
large cities of the East They sell
for twelve cents package of twelve
boxes, sixty-five to the box. Similar
matches of American make sell for
the same price.
The Democratic Tariff law made a
fifty per cent reduction in the duty
on these matches, assuring US that
this would cut the price to the con-
sumner. 1t did not do so, of course,
but it gives our market to the Japan
csc match manufacturer, who pays
his labor one-tenth that paid to labor
ers in American factories, and he
merely adds the cut in duty to his
profits. The government loses the
revenue and the consumer reaps no
benefit.
Who does profit by the reduced
duty, then, if not the Japanese COM
petitor? And what applies to match
es applies with equal or greater force
to all the products of American en-
terprise which meet foreign compe-
tition.-Trenton (N.J.) State Gazette

In our enthusiasm for increased
crop production, let US not plant
more than can be well tended. Above
all things, do not neglect what is al
ready planted. Let US remember
that increased crop production may
be secured from the crops already
planted, by giving them better and
cleaner tillage than usual.
