Proposition To Create a Fleet of Ten Million Tons Capacity Is
 Agreed Upon.
U. s. IN FIRST PLACE
Magnitude of Plan Would Place United States Over All Nations
 in Shipping.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Plan! of President Wilson which have been developing to expend one bill lion dollars in shipbuilding, were practically assured of fruition to- day when the leaders of both the Democratic and Republican parties assured him of support for the mea- sure.
 It is estimated that $1,000, 900, GOO expended in shipbiulding would create 10,000,0O0 tons of shipping, more than the total tonnage now carrying the American flag, includ- ing that on the ocean, and that engaged in the coastwise and rivers and lakes traffic.
 The magnitude of the administra- tions plans may be realized fully when it is stated that such a pro- gram carried out successfully would place the United States in first place among all the nations of the world in the volume of its shipping, supplanting in that respect Great Britain with all of her colonies.

A LITTLE OF THE PAST

While remodeling the western por
ton of the Buffalo Block, built thirty
one years ago, the workmen found
several relics that bring to our minds
things unknown to many of the pres
ent inhabitants Of this city.
Garden City Herald, The Lakin Ad-
The Irrigator, The Sentinel, The
vocate were among the papers found.
A. H. Burtis was candidate for
county clerk. One of the papers
speaks of him as a religious young
of 9. The smallness Of this majority
man. He was elected by a majority
does not include that morality and
religion were not appreciated then as
now. Voters were then fewer. Mr..
Burtis' recent reelection to the Of
ficefice he now holds-that Of mayor
by a majority Of several hundred
shows that he still leads.
Five dollars in coins Of various de-
nominations was found, having lain
there idle for 81 years. Well, with
all the weight Of one corner of the
Buffalo resting on it, it had to lie
quiet.
Had this money been given to c.
j. Jones, the builder Of Buffalo
and prominent then in the affairs of
Garden City, it might have been use
full many times.
1t was at that date that G. ]. Jones
carried the Banner in the Chicago
convention, turning the tide for ]. A.

The food conservatiopists are ad-
vancing some of the most absurd
propositions imaginable, but the
champion idea comes from Indiana,
where the housewifely thrift section
of local woman's club had meet
ing recently. Harness up your
motor car to your coffee or spice
mill" urged the speaker, "and grind
your own flour" She goes on to
relate that there is quite "a saving, as
one can get more flour from their
wheat. However the idea that it
would be poor economy to run a
coffee mill with forty-horse-power
engine, with its high consumption of
gasoline and lubricating oil, did not
enter her mind. This is fair sam
pie of most of the dope put out now
days.

REAL PATRIOTISM

To our notion the most patriotic
service we can render at this time is
to keep cool. Every proposition that
comes up now days has some connec-
ton with patriotic sentiment, but
the most important we think at this
time is the above.
In order to work properly man
must be healthy. Even the animals
on the farm cannot perform their
labor if in an unhealthy condition.
The same is true Of the nation. It
must be healthy. Its business ac-
tivities must be normal that trade be
kept in a healthy condition.
It is therefore imperative that we
exercise judgment, at this, Of all
times, that business be kept healthy
normal.
1t will be the easiest thing in the
world right now to precipitate PAN
ic. For the most part panics are
caused by lack of confidence in fu-
ture conditions. People imagine
times are going to be hard. They cut
down expenditures. They over
economic on the things without
which they can exist. The result is
that merchants must discharge their
clerks. These clerks must form an
army of unemployed. They, then
cease to be users of merchandise.
Factories cannot dispose of their out
put-they discharge their help and
close down, throwing out of employ
ment their workers. Then there is
less merchandise to haul and the rail
roads discharge their employs. Thus
the army grows in size. All these
people with no means of support
must necessarily cease to be consum-
ers, still further slump occurs.
Business goes dead. There is no need
for more room-no extensions are
made-more labor is thrown into the
army. All these people living on the
veriest necessities of life cause a
great slump in consumption of the
products of the farmland away goes
the price of farm products. Eggs
drop to five cents dozen, butter to
ten cents pound, wheat to 40 or so
cents and other things in proportion.
What caused all this?
Over economizing on the part of
the people in the beginning. The ces-
sation of buying that which they have
may be saved for possible hard times.
The very thing they would seek to
avert they produce.
Don't do it. Don't waste any,
thing. That is crime. But if you
would avert disaster don't become
hysterical and plunge the country in
to a panic from which you will later
suffer:
There is no earthly use for panicy
conditions or hard time talk any more
than before war was declared. Keep
cool-don't lose your head or help to
further condition that is worse than
war.

While adding to the burden of the
press in the way of increase in post
age rates and advertising taxes, as
well as the censorship of the news
columns and opposition in the way of
a free daily bulletin, our congress
men still are willing that the papers
boost the Liberty Loan, registration
and enlistment free of charge. 1t is
to the credit of the press that they
are doing these very things, showing
that they are a great deal more pat
riotic than the poor simps who are
misguiding the destinies of the coun-
try through their membership in the
legislative bodies of the government.

A COMBINATION THAT
CANNOT BE BEATEN

We are showing herewith a cut of
the Ludlow. Typograph recently in
stalled in the mechanical department
Of The Democrat. This is the new
est typecasting machine on the mar
ket for newspaper and job work.
All the advertisements and heads
for this paper are cast in lines by this
machine, and the larger part of the
job work done in the office is with
this machine.
It casts as perfect a slug as any
Linotype made and work done on it
cannot be distinguished from the best
foundry type. The one great advan-
tage Of this machine is in always hav-
/ ing new type faces to print from.
Under the heavy pressure of the big
news press type soon begins to show
wear. The sides of the letters wear
down first, giving ragged appear
ance anything but attractive. By
casting new type every time it is used
we eliminate this, and can give a
clear, sharp print at all times.
Another advantage is in the as
sortment of faces. But few shops
have more than two complete series
of advertising type, but this machine
enables us to have four complete lines
of type in all sizes. And the guam
tity that can be produced is limited
only by the supply of metal which
costs but a fraction of what type
does.
