PRICES AND PRODUCING.

The mother of three children was accom-
panied by friend from out of town on shopping
tour They were both busy so they took
the opportunity of their day visit together to
make some needed purchases along with their
sightseeing The mother was looking at children s
winter coats that she might reduce the posslbili-
ties to three or four before bringing the child down
town.
The chdess friend was Mortified at the
prices Her voice fairly rose to shrek at the idea
of paying over twenty dollars for a coat for
eight-year- old. The mother was calmer. She
stated her position thus

This was the contribution of one home woman
towards solving the problem. Telling the sales

and initiates the saleslady. Demanding simple
substantial value does good. 1t increases the de
mand for things which are good instead of things
which are Aimsy. Putting the time saved into in
creased production is the one and only effective
way to get at the high prices.

WINTER NIGHTS.

WINTER has unpleasant features as all honeSt
men admit; when it comes, half-frozen crea-
lures are inclined to throw fit. When big
chunks of snow are whizzing on the bosom of
the blast and the blizzard comes a-blizzng,
people sigh and say bod GastI' But all the
beastly weather there is recompense at night,
when we camp around together by the CRATE
fire, glowing bright Father sits and reads
story, and he chortles as he rocks mothers feel
ing hunkydory, while she darns a pair of socks;
and the little sons and daughters play around
until they're tired; they have put away the swat
tiers that the summertime required. There
sounds of joyous laughter, there is happiness ga
lore, though the tempest shakes the rafter and
comes pounding at the door. Oh this is an
hour enchanting, for our compensation meant,
and old winter widest ranting cannot scare US
worth cent. And he thunders in his madness,
and we hear him roaring bass, but our hearts
are full of gladness and we chuckle in his face.

JEWISH RELIEF SENDS FOOD
100000 Cargo Starts for Rumania fol-
Starving People,


NEW YORK, July 2S.-The S. s.
"Huachuca" is on it's way from this
port for Constanza, Rumania, with
cargo of 100000 worth of Jewish
relief supplies. The shipment, which
was sent by the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee and its allied organiza-
tions, included cotton piece-goods,
thread, needles, buttons, stockings,
shoes and other supplies necessary to
clothe and feed destitute Christian
and Jewish sufferers in that coun-
try, several thousand of whom are de-
pendent upon the committees ship
ment for necessities. Condensed milk,
cotton-seed oil, red beans, kosher
beef, and nearly thousand cases of
soap are also in the shipment. Just
before the ship sailed a donation of
fifty barrels of molasses and forty
bags of sugar was received from a
large sugar company.
The "Huachuca's" cargo of kosher
beef is the second shipment of this
kind of meat that has left this coun-
try since the war began. Another

R-S0 TO FLY ATLANTIC
Will Be First Attempt at London
BuenOs Aires Flight,

LONDON, July II (by maiD D.-The
first attempt to fly the Atlantic from
London to Buenos Aires will be staged
in August, if plans of British airship
manufacturers do not miscarry.
Vickers, Limited, manufacturers of
the Vickers-Yimy airplane, which, pi-
loted by Captain Sir John Alcock and
Lieut.. Sir Arthur Brown, spanned the
ocean between Newfoundland and
ireland, are now building huge air
ship which they hope to have COM
pleted by August.
1t is being built along the lines of
the R-34 and has been christened the
R-S0. In addition to large crew the
airship will carry ten passengers, all
of whom have booked their seats at
s2,500 per seat.
Three of those who have booked
passage are Sir Woodman Burbidge,
his wife, Lady Woodman, and R. H.
Griffith.
Lady Woodman, if the flight is sue
cessful will hace the distinction of be-
ing the first woman to cross the ocean
by other than boat.
1t is figured the trip will be made
in four days, saving weeks Of travel.
Discussing the commercial use of
aviation in the future between South
America and Europe, Sir Woodman
said he did not believe it would offer
serious competition to steamers.
"It will work wonders in the way of
passenger travelling and will also be
useful in carrying styles, jewelry and
silks" said Sir 'Woodman, but it
would be too costly to ship goods"
He expressed confidence that even
tually an aerial mail and passenger
route will be established between Eu-
rope and South America.
He will return to London through
the United States where he will inves-
tigate American department store
methods.

Is PHYSICIANS APPROVE PLANS
Hospital Board to Consider Architects
Drawings August 4.

Plans for the Boone County Hospi-
tai have been shown to fifteen physi-
clans and several nurses and they say
that the general scheme Of the plans
is satisfactory. Members of the board
of trustees say that there probably
will be minor changes in the draw
ings.
The plans were submitted to the
board yesterday afternoon by C. E.
Shepard, architect. They will be con-
sidered by the board at its next meet
ing, August 4.
A hundred thousand dollars worth
of bonds were recently voted for the
hospital. 1t will be built near the
center of the H. H. Tandy property,
purchased by the trustees recently.
This lot is at the corner of Broadway
and Cousins street. The building will
face Broadway, and will have an am
bulance entrance at the south.
The hospital will be a two-story
structure, built of brick, 129 feet long
and 40 feet wide. The building will
be fireproof.
The present drawings plan for the
following rooms in the basement: !:
three dining rooms, a kitchen, store
room, pantry, drug room, boiler room,
engine room, coal room, refrigerating
room and linen room.
Rooms on the first floor are: an Of
fee room, waiting room, nurses
room, physicians dressingIroom, a
diet kitchen, sun room and thirteen
patients room.
The rooms on the second floor are :
major operating room, a minor op-
Grating room, a sterilizing room, an
aesthetic room, maternity room, in
FAINT room, diet kitchen, sun room, two
larg wards, seven private rooms, two
work rooms and surgical dressing
room.
A hallway, eight feet wide, will ex-
tend the entire distance from east to
west on both floors of the building.
On the first floor this hallway will
be crossed by another one, twelve feet
wide. There will be the five windows
in the large ward.
The operating room will be in the
northeast corner of the second floor
of the hospital.

THE LEAvENwORTH STRIKE

Twenty-Five hundred military pris-
oners in the disciplinary barracks 1t
the federal prison at Leavenworth
went on strike Tuesday, demanding
they be given shorter hours and bet
ter food. A committee of twelve pris-
oners presented their grievances to
the commander, and, among other
things, said four hours was long
enough for men working in the sun.
There is no information tending to
show that these prisoners have been
inhumanely treated. The fact that
they are military prisoners does not
entitle them to special privileges. II
they committed Offenses serious
enough to warrant their commitment
to prison, they must expect prison
treatment.
Most of the strike promoters are
said to be foreign-born radicals. Per-
haps it is the I. w. W. or Bolshevist
spirit that is prompting these men.
They should have sufficient whole
some food, reasonable working hours
and decent keep. Above this the gov
ernment should let them know who is
in authority. If they can work in the
sun only four hours a day, give them
a job indoors and let them work eight.

distinctly Jewish consignment is her
supply of cotton-seed oil. Lard,
which most relief organizations send
abroad in place Of oil, is pork prod
uct, and therefore forbidden to the
great mass of Orthodox Jews in Eu-
rope.
The entire cargo will be distributed
in Rumania without regard to race or
religion. The Christians in the dis
tricts covered by the American Jewish
Relief Committee will share equally
in all the goods, even in the allot-
ment of the beef.
Included in the shipment were
quantities of hammers, nails, leather
and other tools and materials needed
in repairing shoes.

NEW BRIDGE OVER CEDAR CREEK
Reinforced Concrete Structure WI
Cost $500.


An eighty-five foot reinforced con-
crete girder bridge with an eighteen
foot clear roadway will soon be built
over Cedar Creek, between Galloway
and Boone counties.
1t is estimated that the bridge will
cost more than $500. The building
of the new bridge is state aid
project. Boone County will pay one
fourth of the cost, Galloway one
fourth and the state the remainder.
w. B. Cauthorn, Columbia engin-
eer, who financed the project, said
this morning that construction of the
bridge would begin just as soon as
the contract is let
The proposed bridge will be on the
Old Trails road, and will replace an
old steel one, having eleven-foot
roadway. The new bridge will be six
feet higher than the old one.
Mr.. Cauthorn is also engineer in
charge of the construction of another
bridge on the Old Trails road The
bridge is to be built over Salt Fork
Creek, mile and half west of Mar
shall. 1t will be ninety feet long,
built of reinforced concrete, and will
replace dangerous Missouri Pacific
Railroad crossing, where several per-
sons nave been killed since the sur
vey began.
The cost of construction of this
bridge and nearby crossing will
aggregate $4,000. The bridge will be
forty feet above low water mark.

WHAT INDIA WANTS

India fought faithfully in the war
at the side of the English for the
freedom of the world. Her help was
unsolicited. England did not require
her to send troops. England is CRATE
full for the spirit that was behind the
voluntary army, sent to her defense
when she was fighting with her back
to the wall. There is a genuine wish
to meet her wants.
The currents of political thought in
England as in other countries of the
world are undergoing rapid change.
New ideals and principles are being
injected into the unwritten and flexi-
BILE constitution of the Island Empire.
Now is a good time for India to voice
her desires. There is plenty of good
will, but little knowledge in England
in regard to the real India. India is
taking advantage of this opportunity
modestly to tell England of herself
and of her wishes.
India, like Ireland, wants home rule.
She prefers these words to the term
self-government, because the latter
term might mean a separation outside
of the Empire, whereas home rule i'm
plies control over national business
with status within the common
wealth OF free nations which form the
British Empire. India likes England
and her helpful rule.
India will not accept home rule all
at once, she wants it by stages. Stag
es are necessary, not because India
believes she is unable to administer
her own affairs but because she has
been unarmed for forty years, and re-
quires from ten to twenty years to
built up an army and navy sufficient
for home defense. Her pride and self
respect, as we'll as necessity, demand
that she should be able to defend her
own liberty before she claims it in
full. But India wants each stage of
her governmental development to be
substantial and rapid at the same
time.
Previously England has demurred
at giving India home rule due to reli-
gious differences, caste differences
and indifferences of the masses. Prom
inent Indians who have been educated
in England say that the religious dif-
ferences center only among the Rindus
and Mussulmen and that they are rap
idly changing into unity of political
action and social amnesty The caste
difference is greatly exaggerated and
that the last objection no longer exists.
India wants the cooperation and
help of England she wants to be her
