CALVES ON THE MARKET
Big Western Kansas Ranch Forced to
Sell Them Now

Lucas, Kan, Oct. 3.-Cade brothers
of this place shipped over a hundred
of cows and calves from this station
last week to the eastern markets
They were high grade black Angus
and would look well in the smaller
pastures of the state. 1t is apparent
that calves of this class should not be
allowed to go out of this territory
The farms of the central and west
ern part of the state are not so well
supplied with good stock that they can
afford to allow any of it to get away.
The scarcity of feed that is prevalent
III this part of the state will be respon-
sible for much stock moving out that
would be otherwise kept for breeding
purposes. The Cade ranch contains
ever thirteen hundred acres and main
tains as a rule a very good class of
cattle but the managers were forced
to let considera BILE go this fall on ac-
count of conditions Good cattle bring
good prices any where this wear and
will be no loss.

adjutant general OF Missouri, con-
corning the consolidation at Fort Sill,

New Spirit in Kansas.
1t is my hope that in Kansas this new
spirit of national thrift will peFmeate
more thoroly thru the small towns and
among the farm people, because of the
assume to be wholly patriotic in this mat
thought but that of individual gain, yet
the result OF a general and heavy sub
scription from the country people will
be far-reaching in establishing national
security.
Democracy is most secure when financed
by the common people. No nation can fail
of progress when her chief financial OBJ
and the smaller the denomination and the
more widely scattered, the more certain
is the nations welfare.
We have been good spenders-our people
OF moderate means as well as our citizens
of wealth. We can be equally good savers
and surround ourselves with financial
stability that will weather storms which
may come
l feel that Kansas people only need to
be shown this element of thrift how small
investments in themselves will amount to
big sums if continued consistently and
will grow at an astonishing rate. 1 urge
the Kansas farmer to consider this new
idea of finance and national welfare For
him an investment returning a fair rate
of interest, which at the same time is cash
or it's equivalent is a safeguard, for the
lack of which many Kansas farmers, be-
cause of vicissitudes of the states egri-
culture, have failed.
L therefore urge a prompt and hearty
response from Kansas people to the new
liberty loan. Every person in the state
who can spare $50, without too great sac
rifice, during the next four months, will
aid himself and the nation by buying a
bond.

CAPPERIN APPEAL
Special Proclamation for Buy
ing Liberty Bonds.
Kansas Farmers Didn't Invest
Heavily on Last Loan.

In a special proclamation, Governor
Cappear has appealed to patriotic
Kansans to buy liberty bonds. Bene-
fits of the bonds are pointed out by
the governor, who urges not only the
men and women in the towns and
cities to get behind the issue. but asks
also that the farmers invest surplus
profits and savings in the second gov
eminent issue. Kansas farmers
bought rather sparingly of the origi-
nal issue, altho in a few individual
instances farmers made substantial in
vestments.
The governors proclamation will be
used in the liberty loan campaign in
this state.
His Proclamation.
In his appeal, the governor said:
The government at Washington has
asked the citizens of this nation to sub
scribe S. 600, OOO, 600 to the new liberty loan
bonds; to equip with arms and clothing
and to feed our gallant soldiers who are
now going to the field; to support their
dependent families and to lend TO our
allies in this war for worldwide democ
racy.
1t is the wish of the federal government
that the money come from all classes
the laborer as well as the merchant and
the farmer, in order that the rank and file
of the nations citizenship may profit from
the vast sum that must be paid in interest.
10 encourage the small investors the Donds
are issued in $50 denominations, payable
on the installment plan. and have been
placed sale in 10000 banks thruout the
country.
Kansas has the opportunity to learn
her final lesson in thrift if our people
will subs ribe in large numbers to the
new issue of liberty bonds. 1t will mean
more for the future of the state if 100000
of the ordinary walks of life each buy a
$50 bond than If $4,000 weIl-to-do men
should buy a $1,000 bond
Kansas people practice diligently most
of the elements of thrift. They are pros
porous, energetic and Woodworking. They
endured privation and learned to make
ends meet during the pioneer days. They
have invested their millions in business
enterprises, improved machinery, better
livestock, and, purely for Investment pur-
poses, have bought thousands of acres of
new land farther west. Now, if Kansas
adds to these commendable practices the
habit of investing in high grade securities,
we will be doing a great and constructive
duty and at the same time our people in

TO THOSE WHO HAVE
THOUGHT OF BUYING
A CHALMERS CAR

An arrangement has been
effected whereby the Max
well Motor Company has
leased for a period of five
years the properties of the
Chalmers Motor Company.
The immediate effect of this
transaction is:
l. The Chalmers car will be
continued under the Chal-
mers name for a period of
five years
2. Those distributors or deal
ers who have been sue
cessfully marketing the
Chalmers car will continue
to do so.
The appraisers of the prop
erty and their engineers
report the current Chalmers
model good car and the
Chalmers plant a wonderful
factory.
The first move we have made
is to increase the efficiency
ofthe Chalmers organization.
The second move was to
place behind the Chalmers
car the resources of the Max
well Motor Company.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-10-03

This is business transaction
between two automobile
companies of probably no
more than ordinary interest
to the public but important
to you if you have thought
of buying Chalmers for
these obvious reasons:
l. You obtain a good car.
2. You obtain a car produced
in a magnifcently equip
ped plant.
3. You obtain a car pro-
duced by an organization
materially strengthened by
the addition of able ex.
ecutives.
a. You obtain car produced
by an organization mate
rally strengthened by
additional financial re-
sources.
S. You obtain a car from
a distributor or dealer
who will have the support
of this organization.
In this way all three of us
prosper in the transaction.
