COOPERATION LECTURE.
Frank b. White Addresses Farmers
and Merchants at Club.

ana WorcHants AT NIuO'
An audience Of about fifty merchants
and farmers, Of which the latter num-
bering a score, heard an excellent lee
ture ON the merchandising relations
and community interest Of merchants
and farmers at the Marshalltown Club
Monday night. Cooperation Between
the Merchant and Farmer in Behalf of
the Local Community was his SUBJ
ject. which he illustrated with charts
Mr.. White said there was a mutual
interdependence In the. farming COM
munity surrounding any city and the
city itself. He brought out that the
trading community was just as much
a part of the whole city as was the
city itself, and whatever affected the
city affected the country and vice
versa. He pointed out that farms
within. trading distance Of center
were affected by the prosperity of the
city and that farms near a live
hustling, growing city were worth
more than land close to a stagnant
center.
He emphasized the fact that the
farmers were cash buyers and were
able to buy the best merchandise, and
he urged merchants to remember this
fact and in their dealings with farm
ers and their families to cater to their
best, tastes by showing them high
grade merchandise. To illustrate the
farmers buying power he showed that
an investigation in Iowa developed that
the average paid by farmers for suits
Of clothes was $3.50, while the aver
age paid by men of New York City
was $1,000. If the merchants would
get and hold the farm trade they must
show variety in merchandise, good val
ues, and give real service. These were
the methods. he said. to be used to
compete with the mail order business,
in nine-tenths of which the local mer-
chant could successfully compete in
price, the carrying charge and cash in
advance required in purchasing of mail
order houses.

LEAVENWORTH NATIONAL
FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION
Organized May 1-fIeCted Officers and
Now Ready to Do Business.

Some twenty farmers living in the

creased at any time up the amount oil
$4,000. The following seven direct
ors were elected; H. S. McNett,
VIM. Titus, Chas. A. Fox, ]. E.

NEW TAX LAWS OF INTEREST
TO THOSE OWNING PROPERTY
Interest Rate is ReduCed-Taxes Must be
Delinquent 3 Years Before Property
Can Be Sold.

How many of the taxpayers of thi:
vicinity have taken the time tc
familiarize themselves with the pro.
visions of the new law governing de-
linquent taxes which was passed by
the recent legislature. This is tax
paying time for those who have the
money to pay cash, and the ones who
haven't the cash will be glad to know
that the rate of interest on delinquent
taxes has been reduced from IS to IL
per cent. and that, under the new law,
three years taxes must be delinquent
and unpaid before property can be sold
for taxes. Meanwhile the counties
have the option of holding the GER
tificates of delinque cy or selling them
to spectators. II the county doesn't
have to have the cash, it will benefit
by receiving the interest. When certi-
fcates of delinquency are held either
by the county or in private hands, the
owner is not required to make payment
in full to prevent sale. For example,
if three years taxes are due the owner
can still hold title by payment Of one
years taxes. The new law is generally
designed to lessen speculation in
certificates of delinquency and to make
it easier to own property in the state.
1t doesn't reduce taxation, however;
that is thing the taxpayers will have
to do for themselves, if they ever find
the time to get together on it.

Adams Becomes Head of Fruit
Growers Agency.

Capt. Paul Weyrauch, who was
president OF the Fruit Growers Agency,
a government organization, was called
to the colors since the war began and
Mr.. ]. B. Adams was this week
notified that he would be expected to
discharge the duties of the president.
He found his time was already taken
up with other business affairs and
notified the trustees to that effect and
advised the appointment Of an executive
secretary TO attend to the affairs The
duties are largely perfunctory and car
be discharged quite satisfactorily BY
an executive secretary. His suggestion
will likely be followed. The activities
Of the agency cover Washington

ALL THE WHEELS TURNING
At THE BIG SAW Mill
Expect to Run Day and Night in Short
Time-logging Superintendent
Quigely Sending in Raw
Material.

On the first OF this week both band
saws at the Great Northern mill began
reducing logs to lumber at the rate OF
approximately 100000 feet every ten
hours. Arrangements are now being
perfected to operate the mill day and
night, and with in short time two
shifts will be put to work. Five more
logging engines are being mounted on
skids and gotten ready to send to the
woods. Logging superintendent Quigley
began the delivery Of new logs this
week and says he will undertake to
keep the mill supplied with all that is
necessary to keep the wheels going.
The mill yard is busy place these
days and memory harks back to the time
when this same mill was no small
factor in the prosperity of Leavenworth.
Once the palmer and box mill get in
action, the people Of Leavenworth will
realize what an asset the town has in
having the institution located here.

town where dense smoke was rolling
heavenward. The fire fighters and their
apparatus got into action and on the
ground in short notice. The fire had
originated in a wood shed back OF the
house occupied by Harry Wall and was
soon extinguished with slight damage.
In this connection it is mot ont Of place

High winds may be expected for the
next few weeks and make an outbreak

Oh yes, you are, and think it ought

letting the other fellow do it! Do you
know this throws doubt on the sincerity
Of you declaration.
Our government has declared war on
Germany. Some think it will be short
and soon over. Others think it will be
long and tax our resources. The one
and only thing is to prepare for the
worst. Then we can at least do our
best. II the worst comes and we are
not prepared we will certainly lose.
Come out and show which side you
are on. Show you are good citizen
in fact as we'll as theory.
From four to five squads OF eight
attended every drill meeting since the
first OF last week.
Your country may never need youi
services. We sincerely hope it may
not, but if it does you will be prepared
for something better than just simply
gun fodder. In these times war is the
most scientific thing on earth and it il
up to you to learn something about it
If some Of the young men knew wha
the women think Of slackers they woulC
hang their heads with shame. A
certain woman covered the subject il
one statement when she said, A mai

would not defend his wife if she needed

be a toad and feed upon the vapors o
dungeon than such man.
This country may not be perfect,
so it is because the people are no
perfect. The country will be perfec
as soon as the people are, but the maj

part to defend it is fit only for tres

SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE
SERVING UNCLE SAM
VIM. LadsOn Who Has Enlisted for Sec
Ond Time, Tells Echo Reporter of the
Time He Had in Mexico

On the soldier train which passed
thru this city last Saturday bearing re-
cruits from all most every corner OF the
United States was Clyde Ladson ol
Columbus Ohio, who is serving his
second term with Uncle Sam.
Mr. Ladson is just an ordinary chap,
but most entertaining conversation
alist. He was with the boys at Vera
Cruz, Mexico, about two years ago
when our troops landed there and
took control Of the city. At that time,
the U. S. was forcing Huerta, who
was then running things in the southern
republic, to salute the stars and stripes.
It will be remembered when the
U. S. troops landed they were greeted
by volley OF shells from the Mexicans,
and over score of them fell mortally
wounded. Ladson was in the first
boat load Of troops that landed and
received three bullet wounds the scars
of which he still ca1ies, being hit on
the thumb. lower lip and in the hip.
The commander OF his troop fell
mortally wounded and it was he that
carried him to a place of safety.
Ladson believes that the u. S. troops
will yet have to march throuuh old
Mexico, and with the probability Of
sending troops to Europe he believes
the young men who joins the army is
going to see plenty o. active service.
Ladson believes it is the duty OF
every youth to offer his services to his
country at this time. He is true
American in every sense Of the word.

War GrOOmS Not Exempt

Those who think they can get out
of going to war by getting married,
have another guess coming. Accord
ing to a recent government order, men
of military age who have married since
state OF war was declared against Ger
many will not escape their obligation
of military service. The war depart
ment announces that all married men
since the outbreak OF the war will be
treated on the same basis as unmarried
men in so far as their military obliga-
tions are concerned. 1t is desired that
the utmost publicity be given by the
press to this announcement.
The department was moved to take
this action in order that all men should
understand exactly what is contem-
plated in the organization of an army
to fight Germany. 1t was desired that
there should arise no question OF slack
ers upon the score of marriages con-
tracted since the outbreak of war with
the possible construction that the mar
riage in any case was hastened in order
that military duty might be evaded.

Red Cross Auxiliary

Some OF the patriotic women oi
Leavenworth are making an effort to

to call public meeting soon.
There should be at least hundred
women in this town that could find
time to help in some department Of
this work. The dues are one dollar
year. if you want to give twenty five
dollars you may become life member.
The High School building could
probably be used for lectures and for
sewing during the summer. Think
this over. and be prepared TO do your
part, and be sure and respond when
there is a call for a public meeting.
