Monsieur LIE Balm, proprietor OF the
Grand Alcazar, was a man of ideas
and was by way Of being bit of
monopolist in his chosen business.
But he was careful not to be his own
competitor; so when he had prosper
ed to the point where prosperity
could be enlarged only by a second
restaurant. he took great thought
that he should not injure that excel
lent proposition the Grand Alcazar.
The result of this thought was lie
Minuit. which he so named because
its do5rs did not open uD,il midnight.

Well. Jack could 60 his champagne

And then she remembered Maisie

eyes. and she recalled her trembling
words Of belief: "You can do what
I can never do--you've proved that
You can make real man OF Jack"
She rose quickly. "rm going to get

"Wait-you mustn't" cried Love

But she eluded him. and made for
the little door of the cabinet particu.

toppled forward limp and uncon.
scious among the dishes; and about
the table Nina Cordova. Hilton. that
polished adventurer of the smart no.
tells, and Nan Burdette, high-colored,
bold-eyed cafe favorite.
Mary moved inside, Loveman at her
heels. But Clifford remained without,
waiting. The situation was Mary's---
for her to face. for her to reveal her
self by.
Mary stepped quickly forward and
shook Jacks shoulder. "Jack--wake

Jack, limp weight, showed no Ire.

Seed Tests Poor

From seeds tests at The Fort Hays
Experiment Station, 1t is found that
seed raised in 1918 is of poor quality un-
less hand selected and stored in q dry
place over winter. This is due to the
dry, hot summer followed by early
frost and wet, cold winter.
Average Seed Test-Cane: lowest
"a Per cent, highest SO per cent, av-
erage II percent.
Milo: lowest 10 per cent, highest
"a per cent, average SO per cent.
Feterita: lowest 70 per cent, high
est So per cent, average 80 per cent.
Kafir, corn, barley, oats, sudan and
millet have been tested in small quaint
ties that an average is of no value.
Under these conditions, it is very i'm
portant that seed planted this spring be
tested if stand is secured without re-
planting. The Fort Hays Experiment
Station is well equipped to test all your
seed and is anxious for you to send a
sample to them.
We are also making a list of seed
and if you will tell US how much you
have for sale, price, ETC., we will dir
ect buyers to you.

..Destructi1ea Taxation,

Discussing Destructive Taxation, "
the Wall Street Journal says:
Is there not danger that if the Rep
ubliean (Protection) party fails to as
sumo it's responsibilities a country
with wrecked industries AID unemploy-
ment may Yepudiate both parties and
adnit third at the next election?
Formally this countPy's nationol tax
alton program rested upon incoming
goods. The burden was divided between
the foreign producer and the home con-
sumner, and both capitsl and labor in the
home markets were protected.
Fer the year 1913 we collected less
than 100 nillions taxes upon imports,
or less than 8 per cent. Of the six billions
tax bill the Democratic party now pro-
peses IN arrest of home industry and
home capital.
The above extract touches the vital
part Of the big problem confronting the
nation today. Either the industries
mast seen face serious financial troubles
ewing on the one hand to excessive tax
alton and on the other to declining pur-
chasing power Of the masses, or the
policy Of protection and the raising of
mere revenue from imports must be re-
stored. The Free-trade partp, in order
not to be compelled TO abandon its the
cry, is burdening industry beyond the
safety poiet, until there is danger OF
having no prosperous industries to tax.
The party Of Protection is now pow
e7less to act. It can emily utter warn
ing and protest; but after the Fourth
Of next March, Protection can aud viii
be restored reason again enthroned. :

They Would DESTROY Nationalisrn.


In the January number of the Cad
vocate Of Peace published in Wash
ingten, D. c., by The American Peace
Society, there appears this:
Another aspect of the world situation
which the nations representatives sit
ting in Paris will face, which may en-.
courage champions of laW-controlleC
world, is this: The very extremity OF
the worlds need, fscally, economically
and materially considered, is COM
pelling the peace-makers at Paris to
tend toward an ultimate decision hostile
to national indiVidualism, competition
and economic war.
If it is true that the Peace to be Sc
cured at Paris is to be the surrender. OF
national individualism, - then the
doom of the American Republic is
sounded. Nationalism is the force that
has propelled the United States into the
proud position she now holds among
the nation of the world. Nationalism
won the Revolution, won the war of
1872, saved the Nation in 1865, won the
war with Spain, and made US deciding
factor in the great war of 1913 on the
battlefield of Chateau Thierry, the
Gettysburg of ohe struggle.
Nationalism has kept the divergent
forces within our borders from pulling
apart. It is behind all the movements
to Americanize our Republic and save
it from disintegratien. 1t is the rock
of our salvation. nothing else is.
If the Peace of Paris new being bern,
is 60 be decision ''hostile te national
ISM" the American Republic is lost.
Don't forget this!
Competition between nations can
never be eliminated. ANY more than
competition between individuals OF
business houses or firms, or for that
matter, between different churches and
religions, can be eliminated, And the
American Peace Society is competing
with other organizations to secure GER
tain results. Competition is one of the
laws of life. AS to economic war, it IN
derlies all business and all eomercial ac-
tivity-always has and always will, just
so long as hnman nature exist in its
present form of development. It will
take higher power than the Ameri-
can Peace Society or League Of Nat
ions, to alter human nature until com
petition shall disappear.
If the road to Peace is to lead to q
surrender of American nationaiism OF
national individualism" which is the
ssnae thing, then the entrance of the
United States into the war was a great
mistake.
Bat Peace does not tend to an ulti
mate hostility to national individualisn
that is the kind of a Peace which the
American people will indorse and agree
TO. The only Peace worth while is one
that permits the American Republic t.
hold her head proudly among the nat
ions, secure her own safety and "a,
safety of her citizens and guarantee
to her the fruits of national freedom
and national developments in whateve
way may seem most desirable to ma
je1ity Of her citizens.
That Is what the United States Tough
