TRADE CONDITIONS
SOME ARE RETRENCHING, 9TH
? Frs SPENDING-LUXURIES
BOOMING-STAPLES
ABOUT NORMAL.

1t looks at this time as though
Christmas was going to be celebrated
in a more safe and sane mi this
year. Among the people M hears
the statement that they are not going
to give presents, or, If they do they
will be of a practical use, and of COM
mon utility in character. There is a
decided inclination to go carefully in
this matter, even though they have
the means with which to give as Law
ishly as ever.
The mercantile outlook is spotted
in aspect, and in the diversity of out
look it is difficult to reconcile to any
decided statement of condition. In
staple lines merchants of Madison
are of the opinion that the volume of
sales this year will equal those of
former years. This will be partially
due to the fact that merchandise is
higher in price. 1t is further a re-
suit of a demand for better goods.
Indeed, in all lines it is said that the
demand is for better goods, regard
less of the price. Stocks Of goods
were bought with a view to their
utility, and it is expected that this is
what those who will do Christmas
giving will buy.
In lines of merchandise which are
classed as luXuries, merchants say
the season has been most excellent,
and they look for a large Christmas
trade. Never before have they en-
joyed so large a country patronage,
and never before has there been a de-
mand on the part of the country
people for jewelry, cut glass and 9TH
er articles of virtu of so sterling a
grade. They make the statement
that the whole country is prosperous
in the enjoyment of an unprecedent-
ed amount of money per capita. In
the east-the Industrial centers-
wages are higher than ever before.
In the agricultural district further
west the producers are enjoying
prices as never before. Those Of the
middle class, who bought dollar or
naments before, find themselves able
to purchase better stuff. And, as in
the case of places of amusement, they
hasten to purchase those things
which are the delight of the feminine
soul-ornaments and jewelry and
fine clothes.
On the whole the situation seems
to be somewhat of an anomaly. On
the other hand are huge balances
shown in bank statements, the great
expenditures for luxuries and patron
age of places of amusement. Then
consider the fact that people are
planning on a Christmas of a prac-
teal kind, retrenching on the more
expensive foods, and not buying *
tensively of the staple merchandise,
1t would seem that the more staid
portion of the people are doing the
retrenching. And ii would further
be seer that those who have never
before had the opportunity or the
money to enjoy Injuries are now
taking advantage of their youth, oil
later youth and better wages, and
are having at least n grand fling
and letting tomorrow take care o.
itself.

to make this a great religious drama
penance for the cessation of the
scourge, and to make il perpetual at
10-year periods. 1t is produced in
the open air, and continues during
the summer months.
Nearly the whole population takes
part in the play. They grow up with
it in mind. They practice it during
the periods intervening between its
productions. They aspire to become
one of the three leading characters
of the drama, and after strenuous
teaching are subject to an election
for their selection to represent the
parts. 1t is not a production of
drama with them. 1t is life and their
religion that they invest it with.
Notwithstanding the existence OF
the present war, it is purposed to
have it as usual in 1920. The cleo
tons for the parts will be held next
year. The local fervor will be as
great as ever undoubtedly. But the
great outside world Will be cut off
from witnessing it IL the war should
continue for that time.

they are snuggled up against a nice
window or door casing, where a draft
of warmer air from within can reach
them, they take a more cheerful as

of a closer geographical proximity to

MRS. WESTABY MET CHARACTER
ON TOUR-HOPES TO HAVE
DRAMATIC ARTIST HERE.

Mrs. r. S. Westaby returned Mon
day from a visit at Highmore and
vicinity, where she gave a series of
readings interpreting characters of
Shakespearean creation, after an alb
sence of about three weeks. Her
work was in the interest of the Red
Cross and other causes, n most
successful contribution being in the
interest of a new church in High
more.
This morning Mrs. Westaby said
that she had the pleasure of meeting
and hearing a lecture or address at
Miller by Miss Mary Meyer, who in
1910 acted in the role of Mary Mag
dalene in the Passion play at Obe-
rammergau, Bavaria, Germany. Mrs.
Westaby witnessed the last produc-
ton of this tremendous religious
drama, and at that time met Miss
Meyer. She regards this woman as
being one of the foremost dramatic
actors Of this period, and says that
she hopes to procure a date for her
appearance in Madison. Miss Meyers
father and mother took parts in the
last production. Her mother aspired
to the part of Mary Magdalene years
ago, but was defeated in the cleo
tons. 1t was a source of great sat
isfaction to the parents to have their
daughter successful 90 years later, it
being one of the three leading fea-
lures of the play. The other two
great characters are those of the
| Christ and Judas Iscariot.
The Passion play of Oberammer-
gau was instituted during the great
plague which swept Europe. The
Z people of this district vowed in 1888

One witness, j. l.. Markham, got
his testimony so badly twisted he
was turned over to the sheriff, In de-
fault of $500 bond, to face charge
of perjury in district court next
month. Another witness, Elmer Van
SAINT, testified he had purchased
whiskey since coming to Liberal, but
refused to divulge the name of the
vendor in court. He was given 60
days in the county bastile on a con-
tempt charge in which to mediate
on the error of his ways.
In this connection, little praise is
due the new county attorney for the
manner in which he bores into the
fellows who are brought up in these
cases. He goes after them without
gloves and there is some real squirm-
ing done by most of the culprits be-
fore they are released. II the dis
trict court will back him up when
the cases get before that tribunal he
will some day make bootlegging a
mighty unhealthy pastime.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES

H. N. Witt, the real estate man, is
quite hand at digging up statistics
to prove that Liberal and Southwest
Kansas are the greatest places on
earth. AS result of this proclivity
he secured these pertinent facts re-
garding the Rock Islands business:
He learns that Liberal ranks 80
on the entire system for passenger
business.
Cars Of freight shipped in between
January l and September /, 1915,
LII; between January and Sep
TENDER /, 1916, 1868.
Cars of freight shipped out be-
tween January l. and September l,
1915, 1906; between January and
September 1. 1916, 1,462.
This is certainly good showing
and credit to the country.

very paying investment.
It is absolutely necessary In order
TO get this road to do all that lies In
our power. AS explained in letter
to the Railroad Committee OF the
chamber of Commerce from the pro-
,moters of the road, capital for rail-
road building is almost impossible.
The only way In which capital may be
: secured is for the community bene-
lifted to give strong financial assist
ance, showing the capitalists that the
people have faith in their territory
and a desire for the line sufficient to
warrant them in aiding it literally.
The benefits from such a line are
hard to enumerate, as they cover
such a wide scope. BY crossing the
Santa Fe at Garden City the line
would bring us coal by much short
aer route, and as the freight rate on
coal is one reason for the high cost
in this section, this feature alone
will save the pepole Of the county
thousands of dollars year. Then,
this line by connecting with the
Katy at Forgan will give us direct
outlet to the gulf and will enable our
buyers to pay more for grain, making
another source of revenue to our peo-
ple.. Then taking into consideration
the increase in land and property
values, and the benefits to be gained
by still greater development of our
resources, it wouldseem nothing but
Igood judgment to give the road the
laid 1t asks and request the promoters
to rush 1t to completion. We are
merely loaning them this money in
return for the good it will do us.

Dark coIors For Walls and Woodwork k

The interior decorations of mans
home may have much to do with his
domestic happiness or unllappIness. as
the case may he. according to the sec-
retary OF the international Association
OF Master House Painters and Decora-
tors. The depressing effect Of dark
colors In wood finish and wall paper
has wrecked homes which would bave
been happy had the colors been bright.
is the opinion OF this expert.
Dark cOlors In home decoration are
like dark. gloomy days in their effect
on people," he said. at is well known
that gloomy days are commonly known
to the police as suicide days There
are many more suicides murders and
other crimes On rainy days. A man
owes 1t to his family to surround 1t
with bright rooms which will catch all
the sunlight there Is and turn 1t into
domestic happiness.
"A room done In dark colors has the
same effect on persons entering 1t as
utter darkness. Ones senses cannot be
so active as in bright surroundings.
and there is a loss Of buoyancy that
breeds grouches. with all their disas
trous results. Bright. clean. open minds
are the sure result Of bright surround
ings."-Kansas City StGr.
