HOPE IN BAD NEWS.

Every time Germany announces
that she will win the war eventual
~, 1t brings good tidings to the AL
lies. We have come to know that
GeTmany's stubborn resistance is a
point in our favor. BY many people
it is believed that Germany has some
secret stores of provisions, or some
good reason for thinking she can out
number the worlds hosts. When she
throws a def at US, we have reason
to believe she is bluffing. We can
not discount one single pound of
ammunition, or one unit of trained
fighting men, but the evidence goes
to show that Germany either does
not know the strength of her antago-
nists, or is wilfully misleading her
people in order to spur them to
greater activities. 1t is well now
and then to read between the lines of
the throne room utterances. But
taken at face value it does not mean
that we have won the war. 1t mere
ly gives US renewed assurance that
we shall win it.-Salina National
Field.

MOTOR CAR ADVERTISING II
ENGLAND.

|, We, in America, pride ourselves
on our wideawake business methods,
but there is much that we can learn
from the old countries abroad. An
example of this can be found in the
advertising methods of the British
motor car manufacturer. When
business is booming our manufacture
ers put out lot of hysterical pub
licity, but the minute sales begin to
fall off they "economize" by cutting
down their advertising. The British
manufacturer, on the other hand,
wisely appreciates that advertising
is the foundation of his business, and
he keeps it going steadily in hard
times as well as good. 1t is many
months since pleasure car has been
built in England, as all of the plants
are occupied exclusively on war
work; but there is no letup in their
advertising. They are holding their
clientele by keeping their names con-
stantly before the public, and when
the war is over they will be in posi-
ton to take up their business again
where they left off, without new
campaign Of publicity to remind the
public of their existence and re-
establish their names. The patent
medicine men knew this, for they
learned from experience that if their
advertisements stopped for one month
it took three months of strenuous
publicity to win back their sales.
Anyone can sell cars in boom times,
but it takes wise man to maintain
business when conditions are adj
gerse.-Scientific American.

Shortly after new administration
took over a well known eastern rail-
way great number of claims were
preferred against the company on
account Of horses and cattle being
killed along the line in Texas. Not
only that, but it appeared that every
animal killed invariably figured in
the claims presented as being of the
best blood in Texas.
The claims finally became so nu-
merous and the majority so unrea-
sonable, that one day the president
of the road became much excited
while discussing the situation with
one of the roads attorneys.
"Do you know" he exclaimed,
bringing down his fist on the desk by
way of emphasis, ~ have reached
the conclusion that nothing in Texas
so improves live stock as crossing it
with locomotive"

A Friend.

BY Carleton Everett Knox.
The most wonderful thing in this
world is to have
A friend, who you know understands.
Who shows it in eyes and who lists ii
in voice,
Who throbs it in grasp of his hand.
Who sees all the good, who is blind
to the bad,
Who shares in your sorrow or joy.
1t matters not what, he judges YOU
not.
Keeps the gold and forgets the al
10y.
Who shares of his portion and asks
not return.
Be it wealth, be it love, be it power.
Such a friend has worth beyond
the wealth of this earth
A solace in life's darkest hour.
Who don't have to tell you in words
he's your friend.
Who shows it in each act he bestows.
Let come then what will, blow the
wind good or ill.
He never misjudges-he knows.

WHY W.,rs In the War.

DR.. Smaller Matthews, dean of the
University Of Chicago, has enumera-
ted the three basic reasons why
America is in the war. They are:
1. By plots and outrages and de-
struction of property here in the
United States, and by wanton sink
ing Of our ships at sea, Germany has
invaded America as Enthusiastically
as if German army had landed on
our coasts.
2. This invading army must be
whipped on European soil or he will
have to be fought on our own soil.
8. Failure to beat him down over
there will expose our own people,
here in the United States, to out
RACES and atrocities probably worse
than those which have been per-
petrated in Belgium, in northern
France and on the seas, "acts," as
one speaker put it, "that would
make Satan shudder in hell."-

SAYS WE'RE FARsIcHTED.
L. w. Krake Tells Hutchinson News
About Seward County.

L. w. Krake, assistant general
manager Of the Hutchinson Stock
Yards, was in Liberal last week on
business and wrote the following let
ter to the Hutchinson News:
Editor News: At this time Of
conservation Of foods, increased
farm productions, public spirited ac-
ton on the part Of all loyal citizens
of which so much is being written,
beg to say a few words relative to
conditions as / find them at Liber-
al.
Coming here few days ago, in
the interest of the Union Stock
Yards and Kansas Packing Co.'s at
Hutchinson ! am so agreeably sur
prised at the action and farsighted-
ness of these industrious people,
that have taken the liberty of send
ing you some items. Naturally my
viewpoint would be from a stock
yard and packing interests and while
there are many interesting features
here will mention briefly what has
interested me most To be able to
keep two head Of stock where it was
only possible to formerly maintain
one, has been fully solved here by
the erection of silos, to care for the
large acreage of corn.
A Campaign for Silos.
The campaign work for silos has
been done by Mr.. Geo. M. Hunter,
the former well known general man
ager of the Wichita Stock Yards Co.,
and it is easy to judge the results
and interest taken by the stockmen
and farmers when we mention the
names of those having erected silos

han that taken by these progressive
people in building silos. There are
many that have pit silos which have
been used successfully for the past
,ears.

1T is foregone conclusion that
many hundred silos will be put up

thousands of different kinds of live
'tock in good condition, and the sue
,essful operation of the farms and
accordingly accrued profits for the

Confisea,e Booze and Buzz Wagon

Lon Ford was taken in custody
Sunday by Sheriff Couch and some
60 quarts of whisky and alcohol, to-
gether with a Ford carr in which he
was transporting the same, was con-
fiscated. Ford had evidently stored
away a quart or two inside his anat-
omy, for safe keeping, from the man.
ner in which he drove the car down
the street that evening. The rest of
the booze was in the car. 1t was
one of the most reckless drives we
ever saw and how he escaped going
over is no less than a miracle. The
trail left behind was evidence of the
condition of the man at the wheel.
Ford is now languishing in the coun-
ty bastile awaiting trial.-Beaver
Herald.

Victim of Accidental Shooting.

Hugh Rodman of Madison, a lad
of sixteen, was brought to the Beav-
er hospital Monday suffering from
agun-shot, being the victim of the
accidental discharge of a 22-rifle-
one of those guns which was suppos-
ed to be unloaded but the kind which
usually prove serious. The bullet
entered the lower part and passed
through the abdomen, lodging in the
thigh. 1t was probed for and remov-
ed and at this time the young man is
nicely.-Beaver Herald.

PAY LARGE SUMS.
Sugar Company Distributing Much
Money.

For the two weeks, ending last
Saturday night, the Sugar Company
paid out $4,000 for farm work
alone. This does not include the
large sums paid out in the alfalfa
mill, the railroad, and to the men en-
ployed around the sugar factory, but
was only for work done on the big
farms. The company carries on the
largest farming operations in Kan
sas, if not in the whole country, and
the farm pay roll has only begun to
grow. Few of our own people fully
realize what big institution the
Garden City Sugar and Land Com
pany is to this country, or begin to
realize what it means to the future

Down at Liberal last week two
men were convicted, one for stealing
Ford car and the other for steal
ing set of harness, and both got
the same sentence. There must
have been some mistake in putting
such heavy penalty on the man who
stole the Ford.-Garden City Herald.

JAILED BECAUSE HE REFUSED
TO DIVULGE THE WHERE
ABOUTS OF DAUGHTER

Atlanta, Ga, September l.-Rather
than disclose the whereabouts of his
three-year old daughter, whom he had
taken away from his. divorced wife,
John Chambers of this city has gone
to Jail under bond of $1,000 and af-
firms that he will stay there indefi-
nitely before he will tell. His wife
claims the custody of the child under
an order of the court and charges
him with taking her away from the
house while she was absent. Failing
in her own efforts to find the child,
Mrs. Chambers had her ex-husband
