We have read 30 much Of late
about the troubles Of the rail-
roads, their losses tand inability
to give adequate service because
Of low rates, that 1t Is refreshing
at the same time to read about
the success and progress Of one
great railroad system, that instead
of -Tumbhng has been steadily
forging ahead. improving the
road and giving good service.
We refer to the great Santa Fe
system. The reason the Santa Fe
succeeds while Others fail is that
this company operates it system
on efficient and business like prin-
ciples, which can not be said Of
some other roads.
Large sums Of money will be
spent by. the Santa Fe, beginning
this summer, on construction Of
new branch lines in the south
west.
The Usage County & Santa Fe
Railroad will be IS miles long,
from Owen to Ralston Okla.
The Barton County and Santa
Fe is a thirty.five mile branch
to reach the heart of the
wheat belt in central Kansas.
A third new line is being sur.
veyed from Satanic, Kansas, rs
miles west to the state line. Right
of way is being secured.
The Minkler Southern, nearing
completion in California, from
Lindsay to Porterville, traveses
the center Of a rich orange dis
riot.
Work is also progressing on
the new Santa Fe branches from
Shattuck to Spearman and from
Lubbock to Sea graves, in north
west Texas. The building of the
new mileage on proposed Santa
Fe extension from Kansas City
to St. Louis is the next item that
will be taken care Of.
Nearly twelve hundred miles
of heavy new steel rails have
been ordered by the Santa Fe for
use during 1917 and 1918.
Other important Improvements
are being made in the thirteen
states served by this company.

a little eXampe of honesty was fur
nished Wednesday. A pocket book
containing ten dollar bill was drop
ped, Robert Mclean soon passed
that way and picked it up and took II
to his mother who was about to ad-
vertise it when the owner claimed
it, Robert might have kept it and
added it to his little bank account
and perhaps no one woud have been
the wiser but no such thought entered
his mind. Parents do you always
hold your children to strict account
ing for things they have in their
possession no matter how trivial? 1t
is the only way to develop honesty.

Cash talks in the mercantile business just
the same as in any other. For it takes approx
imately 20 per cent in any business to ham
die the credit system and the free deliveries.
Wouldn't you, MIR. Potato Grower prefer to
have 80 per cent cash for your potatoes at the
farm, than to accept ST 90 and you be obliged
to deliver them to market and sell them to
Tom, Dick and Harry on credit? That's our
position exactly, and when you trade at
SLOWS all the expenses of the credit and free
delivery systems are eliminated---and you save
the 20 per cent. Credit stores are compelled
to add this 20 per cent to their prices, so don't
help pay for these ancient business methods.

Lamara theater Tuesday, everyone ex pressed surprise at his familiarity with the technical workings and expressions Of the plant.
 The mystery was finally explained when the famous actor-author produ- cer imparted to Director Kaufman the information that he obtained his first lessons in motion picture work from none other than Mary Pickford. The productions Of both Mary Pickford and George NJ. Cohan are distributed by the Aircraft Pictures corporation, so natur- ally George felt that he and Little Mary were in the same family, so to speak.
 The fact that George NJ. deserted Broadway for an entire day ill order to journey to Mary Pickford $ stuGi0 in Fort Lee. \.

Since vaudeville was intro- duced at the Empress crowded houses have been the rule rather than the eX- ception. testifying to the attraotiveness of the programs offered.
 In the bill this week are Neibauer brothers, entertainers with harmony Of various kinds. Their singing and their playing upon the violin is without a doubt to be ranked as amorg the best offerings of the kind ever made in this city.
 Comedy of the irrisistable kind is contributed by Dan Roby, blackfaced funmaker. He comes with q new packet of jokes, songs and limitations, includ- ing the slide trombone while his playing of the Scotch bagpipes makes his turn a notable novelty. It is said to be a variety act of high order supplemented by natural comedy for he cannot help being funny.
 Baker, sherman and Brannigan are the harmony fiends' of the bill. There with good looks and voices it is pre- dicted that they will make d big hit
