Opinion in Washington, Upon
Return Home From There

Gov. Charles H. Brough, of Arkansas,
the judgment of official Washington
is that there will be three more years
of war. Fresh from a visit to the ma
tional capital Governor Brough made
this statement here in a speech at the
congress of national service of the
National Security league. 1t was in
connection with his declaration that q
conversational and educational pro-
gram must be adopted in order to win
the war. Another governOr-Whit-
man, of New York-was on the pro-
gram. He told of the leadership Of
his state in military preparedness.

NEXT DRAFT IN APRIL
OR MAY, IS BELIEF
Equipment and Supplies Will Be
Ready April and First In
crement Expected to
Move Soon Thereafter

Washington, Feb. 28-While war
department officials reiterate that no
date has definitely been fixed for
calling of the second draft for the
national army, all available indica-
tions would seem to point to some
time during the month of April or at
the latest, early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparation for equipping and
housing the men. 1t is no military
secret that equipment and supplies
for men Of the second draft will be-
come available soon after April /,
and careful observers look for the
first increment to be called soon after
ward.
The number of men to be called in
the first increment has not yet been
determined because the question of
housing them has not been disposed
of. There will be room for rome of
them in camps and environments now
occupied by troops, and it is possible
that additional cantonments may have
to be provided. It is also possible
that some of the national guard
camps may be used during the period.
This phase Of the subject is being
given careful study, but nothing has
been decided.

The Tulsa, Oklahoma, Daily World
force issued from its office on Febru-
airy II the largest newspaper ever
put out in that state. 1t was made up
in z sections and weighed a fraction
less than 81 pounds. The publishers
claim it contained approximately
$25,000 worth of business, was COM
piled and constructed by the regular
force without the aid or consent of
special edition promoters" and re-
CURED three months effort to pro-
duce it. What's better is the stated
fact that over ninety per cent of the
advertising space was sold to mon
advertisers-frms who are not regu-
lar patrons of the paper-and the
$4,000 can be considered an adver-
tIsing pickup" The issue is a
wonderful production for any news
paper, and reflects great credit upon
the progressiveness of the World pub
fishers, and The Citizen desires to
compliment them upon this feature
of the undertaking. We are for
keeping up with the procession and we
consider the issue of the World fair
specimen Of metropolitan newspaper
production.

Up Turn With Moderate
Receipts

Kansas City, Feb. 25-Receipts Of
cattle today, 13,4OO on sale here. The
top corn streers sold at $l3.40. The
packers started out trying to buy
lower, but they could not do it,so later
they bought the cattle good and a
shade higher. Stockers and feeders
also sold higher, and the highest we
have ever seen them sell this time Of
year.
We expect a liberal run of cattle
the remainder Of the week and fair
market. We believe that cattle and
hogs will sell still higher, yet you
must not overlook the fact that 1t
costs lots of money to feed them, and
the gain may not be sufficient to make
the longer feding profitable. We ad-
wise you to ship your cattle as soon
as they are ready for market.
We quote good to choice corn steers,
$l2.25 to $13.85; medium to fair,
$1O.1O to $11.85. Good to choice COWS,
S8.75 to 5000; medium to fair, $3.50
to $8.25. Good to choice fat heifers,
$S.65 to $11.25; medium to fair, $7.45
to $500. Gamers, $3.50 to $7.25.
Bulls, $7.55 to $40. Good to choice
veals, $40 to $12.
Good to choice feeders, $1,000 to
$3.50; medium to fair, $500 to 1910.
Good to choice steers, $9.45 to $11.25;
medium to fair, $S.75 to $9.25. Good
to choice stock cows and heifers, $685.
to S9.65; medium to fair, $6.75 to
$7.75. Good to choice stock calves,
$9.45 to $1O.4O; medium to fair, So to
$500.
With $4,000 hogs on sale here TO-
day, our market opened 10 to 15 cents
lower and closed fully fifteen lower.
Top, $3.50. The bulk of sales ranged
from $3.50 to $17.55. Best lights
brought $17.6O. Pigs are lower,
prices ranging from $13.75 to SIG.
We expect the hog market to stay
good unless receipts grow too heavy.

GERMANS MAKING
BIC USE Of PAPER
Paper Used AS Substitute for
Clothing Material and 9th
er Useful Things-Ex-
hibitiOns Being Held

Washington, Feb. 2S-New infor-
nation concerning the wide use Ger
many is making Of paper for various
essential articles has reached here,
through official channels.
Some of the articles now being
manufactured almost exclusively Of
paper are shirts, handkerchiefs,
scarfs, towels, children's clothing,
aprons, women's purses, nets, bags,
tableclothes, napkins, rugs, trimmings
etc.
This is only a partial list. Under
wear, men and women's articles Of
clothing and a numerous list Of es-
sentials are being made of paper.
The articles are made from paper
yarns, raw and colOred, which are
used for knitted goods hosiery,
gloves, cravats and suspenders. Re-
cent dispatches mention paper trous-
ers. Paper trousers held up with
paper suspenders make comfortable
and mind-restful custom for the
boulevard.
Other materials being utilized are
cocoanut fiber, osier bark, hopten-
drRs, herbs from marshes, nettle
stems, peat, boom, etc.
To encourage the use of the new
STYLES q recent exhibition was held
Mt Chemnitz, Saxony.
The German Society of Manufac-
turers, of Underwear, which has its
seat, so to speak, at Chemnitz, ar
ranged for a series of demonstrative
lectures on the articles on exhibition
and the great extent to which they
can be utilized.
German weavers, because of lack
of yarns, are reported to be making
increasing use of paper yarns. The
Government is even expected to re-
QUESTION the paper yarns stock for
army needs. It is said that the con-
sumption is so large that the mills
cannot meet the demand.

There was fine crowd in Baxter
Springs Saturday and the merchants
were all busy, some Of them to their
full capacity, others only moderately
80. The Citizen is pleased to observe
that patrons Of its advertising depart
ment are doing the bulk of the busi-
ness in the different lines, and we
urge our readers to continue to pa
tronize those Baxter Springs con-
Germs that have the good judgment to
publicly invite their patronage. oc-
casionally a merchant that does not
advertise will tell you he can sell
cheaper because Of that fact. Don't
take any stock in such talk. The mer-
chant that tells you he can sell cheap
CT because he does not advertise is de-
ceiving you. Suppose, for instance, a
store that does business Of $4,000 a
year invests $500 in advertising. Now
if you bought an article that cost SIT
from that store, the proportiOnate ex-
penditure for advertising this one ar
ticle would be only II cents. The mer-
chant who would tell you he sold at a
lower price because he did not ad-
,ertise, could offer you the insignifi-
cant inducement of but II cents. He
could do no better from his viewpoint.
Eut here's where you would do better
ty buying from the merchant that
does advertise. By advertising he
gains a greater volume of business,
consequently he buys in greater
quantities, at a less cost, and is in a
position to offer a better class OF
goods at lower prices than the mer-
chant that does not advertise. There
fore you should be very skeptical OF
such statements. Possibly this mer-
chant does not Intentionally mean to
misinform you, for some merchants
do not understand the value of adver-
thing, but 10 often occurs they pur-
posely attempt to deceive patrons. In
conclusion we again ask Citizen read
ers to keep close watch Of our adver-
tising columns and take advantage OF
all bargains offerings.

WHEN WAR ENDS JESUS

Clackamas, Ore, Feb. 2S-MemberS
Of a religious sect near here are re-

work. They say they believe that the
end of this war will bring the return

Bible. To aid in the war in any way,
they say, is to prolOng it; and be-
cause Of their expectations Of the
millennium at its close, they want the
war to be finished as quickly as pos
sible. Federal authorities are leaving
them alone.

Business is no longer a local mat
ter: it is nationalized. Communities
do not now exist by themselves. They
are woven into the national fabric.
The smallest country store may get
the newest styles as soon as the big
city stores. The newspapers with their
advertising pages have placed all on
the same vantage ground. The result
rs better stores, and therefore better
business men, for men reflect their
environment. The customers, too,
obey the law Of evolution. They
want better homes, better things, and
securing these the whole community
is made more beautiful than it was
before. A store is no longer q ware
house or depot where things are
slowed away out Of sight in dark,
dank and dingy corners. Even in the
smallest towns the stores have remov-
ed that ban on fresh air and sunlight.
Goods are placed 90 as to show up
their attractive qualities. The store
