Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 24.-Aggie
football mettle will have its first trial
when the Farmers meet Baker Uni
versity at Manhattan, Saturday, Sep
TENDER 27. The varsity eleven played
practice game with the Freshmen
the Saturday previous when Coaches
Clevenger and Schulz had an oppor-
tunity to size up material.
The problem of picking a team
from fifteen former Aggie letter men
and some forty eligible men returned
from military service this fall is
puzzling the coaches. There are at
least three good men for every posi-
ton. The job of selecting back field
men falls to Clevenger; the fate of
line men will be decided by Schulz.
The coaches are not over confident
about the Baker game. Baker always
has given the Farmers a good battle,
and this year of readjustment finds
the Aggie mentors ready to expect
anything. The schedule, following
the Baker game, includes games with

Every American Town Has Something
to Advertise

Every American Town Has Something
to Advertise
Every American town, no matter
how dead or alive, how large or small,
should advertise in its own local news
paper, and in its neighboring newspa-
pers. If town really becomes wide
awake to its great opportunities for
growth and development, it will quick
ly see this vision of advertising How
do I know it would be profitable for
towns to advertise?
Well, here's the story:
While on a train in Connecticut re-
Gently met wide-awake manufact-
urer who was looking for a factory
site. We both happened to be headed
for the same town, and he wanted in
formation on great many points He
wanted facts which that town should
have been advertising. He wanted to
know what its advantages were. And
these advantages should have been
given publicity so that it would not
have been necessary for this prospect
i've factory-locator to go out and hunt
for facts.
When we reached a certain town
the factory man bought local news
paper, but there wasn't word in the
paper about the towns industrial and
civic advantages. Here was a buyer,
but the selling points about the mer-
chandise were being concealed, or at
least they were not to be easily found.
This town had a Chamber of Com
merce, but no local office. The presi-
dent of the organization was out of
town, and the secretary was book
keeper in an Office which required all
his time. He didn't know much about
the town, as he was a newcomer, and
then, cit was best to see the presi-
dent
The man who was seeking a loca-
ton for his factory-the man who
could have brought into the town a
thousand new residents-increased
the revenue of every business concern
in the city-caught the next train out
of town. He could not find out what
he wanted to know, and he was dis
gusted.
This town lost an opportunity for
growth and development. Why?
Lack of advertising in its own local
newspapers.
This town is fair example of thou
sands Of other towns in the United
States.-Ex.

Meeting Menace


A vast majority of Americans be-
lieve that the system of government
under which we live is the best that
has ever been devised by men. We
are democrats; we have democratic
government, and through its process
es, every political and economical i'll
may be cured, says the Editor and
Publisher.
We are given, however, to the habit
of believing that this governmental
system of ours, which has functioned
so splendidly through the long years
of the Republics life, is secure from
assault from within or without. That
belief does infinite credit to our pat
riotic optimism carries with it fact
ors of danger to the democratic ideal.
We see the insidious spread of doc
trines about government which are
hostile to our established order. We
feel a wholesome desire to strangle
the propagandists who are engaged in
spreading Bolshevist poison among
our laboring classes, cunningly foster
ing discomfort and disloyalty But
we do not, after all, arouse ourselves
to the fighting pitch. We do not take
adequate measures to meet the men
ace.
Under present world conditions, af-
fecting US only in less degree than
they affect some of our neighbor ma
tions, agitators are boldly preaching
the overthrow of our government
appealing to organized workers to
take over the reins of power and to
establish class dictation. Radical So
cialists, with organs of opinion
through which to advocate their doc
trines urge revolution. We are toll
Grant of all this, realizing that free
speech is guaranteed under a demo-
cracy and that it is very easy to drift
into autocratic policies in dealing
with those who abuse that privilege.
We should realize that democracy
in the United States is under assault.
And we should not be too prone, as its
defenders, to shut our eyes or to turn
the other cheek. The menace can be
met and defeated in the democratic
way.
Our newspapers should PREACH
DEMOCRACY. They should "sell''
the democratic ideal all over again to
Americans. They should bring to all
our people, particularly to the discon-
tented, a new sense of the value of
the political system under which we
have become the greatest nation in
the world. They should meet radical
doctrines with the doctrines of reason
and common sense which are the basis
of our national structure.
Democracy should be advertised
anew. We must not rely upon past
performances. We must keep the
fires of loyalty burning-not trust
them to self-perpetuating. The way
to put an end to a false doctrine is to
drag it into the light and show it's
falsity.
The newspapers may drive out Boil
shevistic sentiment through showing
its utter inadequacy to meet the needs
fthe people-by showing what a pit
liable substitute it is for democratic
government. They cannot drive it
out by ignoring it. Let US have real
revival of Americanism in America

THE STAMP on YOUR LETTER

Why did our forefathers write eX-
ceedingly small upon all occasions? A
hundred years ago it cost twenty-five
cents to send a letter more than $50
miles and a letter was defined as a
single sheet Of paper. In order to
leave ont nothing Of importance, fine
penmanship was necessary.
In those days no stamps were used.
If the letter would travel under thirty
miles the sender paid the postmaster
six cents and that official marked the
letter with a word or symbol indic2t-
ing compliance with the rules. Ten
cents was charged for a distance less
than eiGhty miles. but more than thir-
ty. The sender had to take his mis-
sive tc q. postotfice and the recipient
had to go to his postofice and call for
his mail. Nobody thought of our pres
ent delivery system.
Stamps were first issued in 1S47:
