President Lewis Father Dead.

President and Mrs. W. A. Lewis
were called home last Friday night,
to Osborne, Mo-, on account of the
death of the father of President
Lewis, which occurred January 18th.
The after effects of grippe caused
his death.
Father Lewis was eighty-one years
of age. He was one of those sturdy
pioneer farmers of Northwest Mis-
souri,, who contributed so much to
the building of a great common
wealth. Strong in body, mind and
soul, he was loved and honored by all
who knew him.
The funeral was held Monday,
January 10Th. The faculty, as an
expression of its sympathy sent Mr.
Shively to attend the funeral as
their representative.
Flowers were sent by the faculty,
the student body and the King Broth
ers.

The FOOTPRINTS.

Already the footprints begin to
show themselves. The big prize IN
this state is the United States Sena-
torship. The battle will be staged
in the next election, but the prelimi-
naries start about this time. Joe
Bristow, now head of the public utili-
ties board, wants to go back to Wash
mgton. Charlie Scott of lola, will
also be a candidate and it is the gen
eral impressions that Governor Cap
per has his anchor cast to the wind
ward. At the present time Capper is
the strong man with the people and
an election now would land him the
job easily. But who can tell? Two
years may bring out many important
changes. No man has ever yte
stepped from the Governors chair in
to a seat in the United States senate,
although many have tried it. Capper
may trip or fall down. He is start
ing to pull off some big things just
now and that is always dangerous.

Wn L. This7

If a person rings the front doorbell
he is not supposed to ask, ''WiIo are
you?" of the one who answers the
summons. Yet that is practically
what IS done when telephone caller
greets the responding 'Hello" with
'sWho is this?" There are many lit
tie annoyances IN telephone usage,
but this is perhaps one of the most
provoking. To be called to the phone
and then asked to establish identity
is calculated TO unbalance the equa-
nimity, especially OF busy man.
Telephone practice is after all large
" a matter OF manners, notwith-
standing the separation IN distance
of the persons who are talking. Pro-
badly the one who asks "Who is it?''
on calling another Is mentarily on
hearing a voice other than that
is expected, but even 50 the effect on

nate. Telephone usexs should al-

KANSAS eITY's GREAT MOTOR
SHOW
February II to II


The past year again demonstrated
the buying power of the great South
west. Recent figures made public by
Mr.. E. E. Peaks of the Motor Car
Dealers Association show that more
than fifty million dollars worth, of
motor cars have been distributed the
past year by the Kansas City Dealers.
This does not take into account the
tires Or accessories which probably
would amount to another fifteen mil
lion dollars. Further proof of the
Importance of the Motor Car Indus
try in this section is proved by the
constant increase IN the size of the
Kansas City Motor Show.
Last year when it was announced
that it was necessary TO take larger
quarters, IN the J. 1. Case Building
at 21st and Broadway, abandoning
Convention Hall, the general public
Convention Hall had always been
large enough to house any kind of
a show held IN Kansas City. Four
floors of the Case building were used
last year, but soon after announce
ment of the dates of the show were
made public the demand for space
was so great that it was necessary
Immediately to lease another floor
for this years exhibition, so the
show which viii be held the week of
February II to 18th, will be by far
the largest Motor Show ever held IN
the world with a floor space of $780,
0Oe square feet.
There viii be $50 accessory exhi-
bits on the first floor, the second floor
viii be devoted entirely to CONNER
cial vehicles and the three upper
floors to gas and electric pleasure
cars.
The attendance at last years show
| was 10000 people it is confidently
expected that more than 100000
will pass through the gates this year.
There viii be plenty of music on
every floor.
The plans for the decorations have
been decided upon, but will be kept
a secret until the opening of the
| show. In speaking of the decora-
| tons, Mr.. A. F. Norton, the presi-
dent, recently said: eve have decid-
ed to go to the very limit on decora-
tive scheme and the amount of con-
tract which we have just signed is
at least % per cent greater than we
| have ever paid before and we are go
ing to get our moneys worth"
Reservations are being made now
at all hotels for Motor Show week
and without doubt this event again
viii draw more visitors to Kansas
City, than anything that happens
during the year.

Buying From Japan.

A staff correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger says: ''Look-
ing through the Christmas stock at
the department stores, one is i'm
pressed also by the presence of the
Japanese goods in unusual quantities
especially IN fancy goods and toys.
Japan is coming forward with long
strides to I'LL the gap, as far as she
can with the skill and facilities at
her command, which was left by the
retirement of Germany from the
American market. Sixteen of the
large department stores in America
one store IN each of as many large
cities have combined into a buying
syndicate for the purpose of buying
Oriental products, principally IN Jap
an, and are doing an enormous bust
ness this year"
And the japanese laborers who
produce these goods receive less than
one-sixth the wages paid to American
Iaborers- So long as the Democratic
Tariff policy is adhered to, so long
may we expect to see the displace-
ment Of American products by goods
made IN Japan. The Traut and Hine
Co., of New Britain, Conn, recently
discontinued the manufacture OF
safety razor blades because they
could buy the same kind OF blades
from Japan and have them delivered
at their door for less than it costs
the company to make them. Now all
they do IS TO fit the japanese blades
to an American handle and offer
them for sale. Probably before long

old ipse dixit agreement, just because
che has said it viii not convince
the average thinking man in Kansas.
He has attended the school of "show
me-" too long to be convinced by
that old infaIlible bluff that came
out of the dark ages. When you see
a man using it IN these days, you
look in his eyes and you viii see
something green.
Any employer who is always in
sisting on the lowest ways possible
is apt to be cutting his profits in two.
No man can do his best on a starva-
ton wage. He who lives on less than
full ration will do less than a full
days work.
All who think, know that success
costs a great price, but the price is
never fixed as martyrdom.
Have you ever practiced this rule,
the more you give the more you keep?
It is a known fact the more joy, en-
thusiasm and gratitude you put into
your work the more you have left.
IF you have never tried the rule of
honestly giving self, try it for a
few months and you viii be surprised
at the stock you viii have on hand
at the close of your effort.
When you are working for a per-
son and you act as though you are
afraid you are doing too much for
the wage you are getting, you can
rest assured you will not get an in
crease in wage. People are never
paid an increased wage for doing
too little. Hurry up if you want
more.
If you want to be known as un-
reliable dangerous man, just get the
] reputation of driving little SHARP
bargains So deal, that it is generally
. known that you are known as a per
son who is always taking advantage
/ of technicalities and it will not be
long until the people will shrug thei1
shoulders when you pass down the
street. You will find when you have
established yourself as a technica
crook, only crooks who have crooked
work to will have anything to do witt
you. Any man is despised whc
makes his living off ofthe misfortune
of others, it matters not how tecl
nically honest he may get your mon
ey.
