HERE'S A FINE REPORT
Norton Is Up and Coming These Days
Will Pave Streets.

Norton, Kan, April Morton is
coming to the front this spring. Ow-
ing to the favorable weather during
the fall, and the continued moisture
during the winter a large acreage of
wheat was sown, perhaps thirty per
cent more than the average, and ii is
looking fine; farmers say 100 per cent
now.
Norton has the paving fever. A
Leavenworth company is now putting
down four blocks of brick pavement,
ana petitions are in for 3 or 90 blocks
more, which will cover most of the
business portion of the town.
Together with the large appropria-
ton for the state sanatorium. and the
new business houses contemplated this
season Norton will have quite an ac-
tive building boom.
The city election was very quiet:
Mayor Johnson and the old councilmen
were reelected without opposition.

LOST MORALE

There wa a time when the esprit de corps of the postal service of the
United States was a a high standard; when postal employees took great pride
in being able to get a letter to its destination, even though he writer was
careless or ignorant in writing the address on the envelope. Under the pres
emit emoaized condition of the service difficulty in deciphering a address
appears to be solved by sending the letter back to the writer oil to the dead
letter Office. Even u Democrat representative-elect in Congress is willing
to admit this much, according to interviews which he gives out

newspaper. On the other hand. if a paper contains a hundred columns of

is just a feature of human nature. The fact is. the viewpoint is everything

Thrift and War Savings stamps representing about s10O0O0OOO0 nay be
attributed to the sam motive. At the sam time the people, in subscribing
to these loans, have acquired a habit of saving which, in some degree, is
mittees which we're largely responsible or the achievements OF the loan
campaigns sin the past will do we'll to make full use of the thrift argument
in connection with the raising of the next loan. With the advent of peace,
var fervor may n longer be relied upon as n incentive fol- buying bonds
There is good reason for believing that the thrift habit has, in Large meas
ure, ONE 20 stay. France has the reputation of being the most thrifty
nation on earth, having acquired the savings habit when, at tn M of the
Franco Prussian raj it was compelled to pay ar enormous indemnity to
a there were not more than 100000 bondhoders sin the country. The four
Liberty loan campaigns added approximately 100000 to that list In other
words, just So many more people in the United States have been taught the
savings habit There is n o doubt that bond concerns turned their organi-
cations over Tor the Liberty loan campaign service through purely patriotic
motives Yet they rightly calculated that tn bread thus cast upon the
waters would return to them in the form of nw purchasers of securities Of
one kind or another. The dealers figure that the men and women who
bought government bonds for the first time, by savings methods, will see the
wisdom If continuing to save and invest their money in good securities.
Fully employed labor and high wages have had much to d with tn u
cess of the Liberty loans, and it is certain that a much greater haryest than
that gathered could have been reaped had it been necessary. In manufacture
ing districts large expenditures for Injuries are reported to have beenm made
during the war; Pianos, piano players, talking machines. silks, costly jew
elry, and kindred luxures ire known to have gone into the homes of people
who were regarded as poor before the ar And yet despite extravagances
and the billions of dollars invested in Liberty bonds, the savings banks report
gains in deposits, and the oal deposits of all banks in the United States today
States, previous to the wal, had reached a point where extravaganza and
waste had become pronounced characteristics. Since 1914 they have learned
a lesson in thrift which is likely to prove off great value in years to come.

PLANTS PURIFIERS OF AIR
Their Consumption Of carbonlc Acid
Gas, Always Going On, 10 OF
Great Benefit.

Plants do not breathe or have any
action corresponding TO the breathing
OF animals. Oxygen Is essential to the
sustaining of life In tanimals. include
Ing human beings, and In breathing
air they consume or appropriate the
oxygen II contains and give out car
bonlc acid gas. which Is poisonous.
Plants do not consume oxygen, but
they consume carbonic acid. thus help
Ing to purify the atmosphere, which Is
to some extent rendered impure by
the breathing OF animals. They do not
generate oxygen. but they release 1t
by consuming the carbonic acid. Tyn-
dali, Il celebrated scientist, says: "Con-
slider ull the fires In the world and all
the anlmnls In the world continually
pouring their carbonie acid into the
atmosphere. Would II not be fnir to
conclude that our air must become
more and more contaminated and unfit
to sela0rt either combustion or life?
This seems inevitable, but II would be
a conclusion founded upon half knowl-
edge, and therefore wrong. A provi-
sion exists for continually purifying
the atmosphere of Its excess Of car
bonie acid. BY the leaves Of plants
this gas is absorbed, and within the
leaves 1t Ia decomposed by the solar
rays. The carbon is stored up In the
tree. while the pure oxygen is restored
to the atmosphere. CarbonIc acid, In
fact, is to great extent the nutriment
of plants, and inasmuch as animals In
the long run, derive their. food from
the vegetable world. this very gas,
which at first sight might be regarded
as deadly constituent of the atmos-
phere, is the main sustainer, both Of
vegetable and animal life."
