Mail orders know the value of ad-
vertising and willing to pay the price
for advertising space in The World.
The first of the week we received an
order from Kress & Co. for a quar-
ter page advertisement at a higher
rate than we are charging local mer-
chants for advertising space. We did
not accept the order and viii not do
so as long as Wa-keeney merchants
continue to paronize the cold home
paper" as well as they are doing now.
However, along this line we cannot
refrain from observing that If the
mail order concerns are willing TO
pay a premium for the advertising
space the local merchant certainly
ought to make money from using it
at regular rates

INCREASED POULTRY PROFITS

Many people raising poultry think
of increased production only along the
line of increased numbers. This is
mistake. The necessary object to be
kept in view now is increased revenue,
and this can be done better by raising
poultry along lines of practical COM
mon sense experience. It other words,
it is better to raise ten good strong,
vigorous broilers, roasters or layers
that will fetch you SIS than to raise
fifteen that will only bring you SIP
or possibly at the most $15. This ex-
ira value can be gotten only through
following our Essential Features"

ing. For information as regards. the
other features get in touch with your

Congress has adjourned and also

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1919-03-06

Kansas legislature has butchered and
willfu1ly slain about all the ideas Mr..
Allen wnted enacted into laws. Mr..
Allen is either considerably ahead of
the times in his thoughts or else he
is somewhat idea1istic.
When President Wilson first went
over there it did not look like his
league of nations for the prevention
of war had a ghost of a show to be-
come fact. Things look differently.
now and it also begins to look like
President Wilson is going to be able
to simply pull his proposition across
over there the same as he has done
with pet issues advanced before the
congress of the United States. He
doesn't make much noise about what
he is doing or about what he is going
to do but simply sits tight and keeps
pulling all the time. A good deal like
a tow path team.
1t may be all right to do so from
a charitable view, but we cannot get
unto the idea of just why school
teacher should be pensioned after
having spent several years at WELD
ing the rod and using moral suasion
have not been great in the past, but
the person knew that before they
chose teaching as an occupation. The
salaries have been sure and if the
teacher has not saved some of it it
is his or her fault. They could not
have saved money at any other bus
mess and likely drew a larger salary
at school work than they could have
had at something else. The teachers
should receive higher salaries for
their work but it is a poor idea to put
| a premium becoming school
teacher for the sake of drawing the
pension which is to be paid after hav-
ing served certain number of years.
| The use of the pension system would
be a first class way to develop a class
of incompetent and lazy teachers.
Ex-President Taft is showing how
big a man he is mentally to a great
many people and how a big chump
he can make of himself to a few 9th
ers. The first mentioned company is
that of the great common people of
the United States who are becomir g,
more than ever in favor of square
deal regardless of political parties /;
the latter class is composed of the
few who stick for party politics and
who will condemn every proposition
regardless of merit, which is brought
up by some member of the opposition
party. Mr.. Taft has long been consid-
cred a statesman of ability and should
have been sent to France on the
peace commission but because he was
not sent he did not get sour and go
to knocking. He says Mr.. Wilson and
his league of nations are all right
and that is to the best interests of
the world that the league should be
formed. Mr.. Taft knows more about
it than the editor of this paper does
and we will take his word for it,
