Red Cross Christmas Cheer

The people of the United States are approaching t h C Christmas holidays under condi- tions this country never has seen before; and, moreover, it is prob able that this year we shall not experience our most sorrowful Christmas while this world war rages.
 With the thought of the nation dwelling largely on the infinite suffering abroad, on the certain ty that our own flesh and blood will soon be enduring it's full share of that suffering, and on the absence from home of hun dreds of thousands of dear ones, Christmas, 1917, will be a war Christmas.

Prepared by Kansas Station]
It pays to farm intelligenty. Dem
onstration surveys on more than GU
farms conducted by farm bureaus and
the Kansas State Agricultural college
prove conclusively that the farmer who
excels his neighbors in crops produced
receives anywhere from $3.50 to 5000
more each year for his labor.
IF the farm business is of good quail
ity, other things being equal, it will
be much more profitable than If lack
ing in this respect" says Edward C.
Johnson, dean of the division Of ex-
tension. Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege.
"By. good quality is not meant ex-
cessively high yields Of crops or ex-
ceptional production of stock. 1t does
mean, however, yields that are little
better than the average for the COM
munity, cows that give more milk than
the average COW and beef cattle, hogs
and horses Of more than average pro-
ductiveness.
1.-THE Kansas farmer excels his
neighbors in the crops produced and
makes on the average $3.50 to $500
more each year for his labor than the
average farmer. The farmer who ex-
cells in productiveness of live stock re-
ceives $3.50 to $500 a year more for
his labor than the average farmer,
while the farmer who excels in both
crop yields and productiveness Of live
stock makes $500 to 5000 year more
than the average"
These facts can be demonstrated by
the records of the farm business in
practically any community in the state
and have been brought out clearly by
farm bureaus and the agricultural col
lege in demonstration surveys on more
than GOO farms in Kansas as well as
similar surveys in other states through
out the country.
"It is clear" comments Dean John
son, that the farmer who has bust
ness Of considerable proportions, such
as well equipped, diversified farm OF
16O to 24O acres. can improve his in
come very considerably by giving more
attention to the maintenance Of sol
fertility, to the securing Of better crOI
yields, to the selection of better dairy
cows or to the better breeding an(
better feeding Of beef cattle. hogs

Foundation of Our Service

A Business institution of any kind
which does not welcome honest crit
icism and still hopes to build up a
reputation for satisfying service is
like an architect who attempts to
rear fine structure on faulty
foundation.
No amount of advertising can
overcome persistent carelessness.
No standardized rules will accom-
plish much if the weak places are
not sought out. When these are
pointed out by those kindly inter-
ested such criticisms enable the
business house to stabilize it's SER
vice structure by strengthening up
the weak spots.
Moreover, no foundation is worth
much if there be not solid SUBJ
foundation. Therefore, in looking
to our service we prize your honest
criticism and try to ever keep be-
fore our employees the thought
that the sub-foundation of this bus
mess is an earnest desire to please
every customer, no matter how
little known he or she may be, or
how infrequent their visits.

WE WANT TO KNOW

Why the soldiers at Boise cannot
be sent to their homes is question
of state wide itenrest. Of course
we all know that there is an endless
amount of red tape connected with
governmental affairs but here is a
simple proposition that the average
man cannot understand. In round
numbers there are 1000 soldiers in
Boise who have served their country
faithfully until no longer needed.
They were relieved from active
duty and sent back to Boise to be
mustered out" whatever that may
mean. Of course there is a certain
amount of checking up to be done
and physical examinations to be
passed through by each soldier.
But why this delay? Two weeks
would be ample time to do all that
is necessary to be done. Why can
not a company be sent home as
soon as it has complied with the
military regulations?
