ssTom, you have certainly made Tremendous

former boyhood friend to his host at one point OF
the dinner.
"Oh, yes, was the reply, Dut you sec We d

years which for me were spread over quarter OF

II was young. Competition is not only keener, but
more ruthless -:
whats the secret thcn!" asked Harry the
former boyhood friend.
But Tom shifted the subject with the remark:
"There isn't any secret, Harry, and even II there
were, it's just much secret to me as it IS to
you"
The conversation drifted into other channels,
but Harry's mind went back to the days when he
and Tom worked together in the same room of the
same Office at the same time and at the same kind
Iof work.
They began with the same opportunities
They were boys together and had about the
same education.
Yet, after eight years, there was this great dit
ference between them: Tom was big success
weto-do if not wealthy, head of his own business.
a man of obvious power and personalty-while he,
Harry, still flounderng, struggling employe,
with relatively poor prospects.
How and why? If he could only know the Sc
cret!
He thought back eight years, and tried to make
an impartial comparison between himself and Tom.
All he could discover was that they were much
the same in mental make-up, in habits and in their
pleasures.
What was the difference?
"A little later, after he and his former employer
had bade their host and hostess goodnight, Harry
said: you ntimated that you knew the secret Of
Toms success. What is it?" ~ ;r..<
"I'll tell you" said the elder man. 49,

You see it is quite characteristic of all of us to
fail to see ourselves particularly our weaknesses in

Discusses Property Sold.

''Unless Mr.. Bland has had access
to evidence which have not seen"
continued Representative Flood. "he
is in error in the statement that ST.
zoe. 008, 900 Of American property was
sold under q blanket contract with
France for $400,000,000. The $1.-
TOO, 600, 900 was the cost price Of our
surplus property in France. An in
ventory when the surplus was de-
clared fixed the value Of this prop
erty at about $1,000, ,000, 900. Included
were camps, docks. hospitals, store
houses, ice plants, railroad sidings
and nayrUw-gauge military railroads,
which were q liability to US because
large plumbers OF soldiers were re-
Quired to guard them and hence when
we gave them mp. we; would have had
to remove the structures and put the

NAL condition.
"of the $1,000. 900. 900 Of inventoried
property. 500. .000. 900 were sold be-
fore the French contract. Under the
contract we received SO cents on the
dollar upon the inventorted value OF
this property.
This contract also provided that
out of the supplies sold to France the
American Army should be supplied
with everything needed as long as
any part Of 1t remained. This great
ly reduced the quantity of these
supplies which France will actually
receive. Again, the contract pro-
vided that France should answer for
and settle all damages resulting from
the use Of the lands, thereby feliev-
ing the United States of much lftiga-
tion and tremendous claims.

Application Of Energy.

Mr.. Flood said the accomplishments
OF American expediticnary forces
were phenomenal and unparalleled.
Never before has there been such a
swift application Of intelligent en-
ergy. said he.
Il do not agree with Representative
BANDS somewhat comprehensive
criticism of the American Army in
France" said Mr.. Flood.
The buildings alone, if placed end
to end, would have extended from
Brest to the Russian frontier of Ger
many. or about 900 miles. Wise pro-
vision was made for an army of 4,000,-
900. France is still wondering at
these achievements.
r"Of course. in a time so hurried
and in a business SO vast and COM
plicated, some mistakes and errors
Of judgment must have occurred.
These were so few in number and so
iEconsequential in relation to the big

RAISE IN SIGHT FOR
CURRENT USERS
Empire District Electric Com
pany Seeking Permission to
Advance Power Rates

A petition has been filed with the
Public Utilities commission Of Kansas
by the Empire District Electric COM
pany, which has headquarters in Jop-
lin, asking permission to raise power
rates throughout this district. The
state body has granted a hearing,
which will be in the near future at
Pittsburg, Kan. The cities, affected
by this petition, and which will have
to pay increased power rates If the
petition is granted, are Baxter
Springs, Pittsburg, Galena, Columbus,
Scammon, Weir City, West Mineral
and Treece. It also affects many Of
the ore mills in Kansas. These facts
are shown in a copy of the petition,
which has been received here at the
request of the Chamber of Commerce,
The concerns affected by this petit
ton in Baxter Springs, are the Bax-
ter Water company, the Daily Citizen
the Interstate Tire & Vulcanizing
company, the jefferson Highway Ga
rage, Willard Ice & Fuel company
Ward & Wilson, Barr & Garrigan, E.
z. Call and Berrian & Matlock.
Among the mining properties af-
fected by this order are the Chanute
Spelter, the Eagle-Picher, the Lucky
Jim, Mineral Flotation, Early Bird
Southern, Silver Fox, Eastern, Com
merce Mining & Royalty, Butte-Kan'
sas, United Zinc, and others.
The Empire company in this peti-
tion maintains it has capital stock
of $4,000, 900. 1t is shown, too, that
one raise in power rates was granted
teh company by the state board or
February 1, 1918. This relief or per.
mission was entirely inadequate the
Empire company now declares and an
other increase in rates is asked. The
company claims in this position to
have expended s1,640,0OO in improve
ments during the past two years and
that wage increases, granted by the
company since June last, will ado
$4,000 to the operating expenses
during the present year. This peti'
tion for increased power rates was
filed by B. C. Adams, the general
manager of the company, on October
%, last.

ADVERTISE SEED FOR SALE

Just now there seems to be a search
ty of seeds of all farm crops. But,
when We recall our experience in 9TH
er years we think that there may be
plenty of good seed in the hands Of
careful farmers who have stored their
seed and said nothing.
We have known men to send away
and buy seed which proved very un-
profitable because it was not accli-
mated. Had they known that a neigh
Dor had supply, this loss could have
been avoided.
It seems to US that it would be pa
triotic for every man who has good
seed of any kind to advertise it in the
local papers. in the meetings Of farm
ers organizations. with the county
agents, and every Way which will let
the neighbors know. And, we think
that such patriotism will pay. If you
will write % me, shall try to help.

THE FLU

When your back is broke, and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock, and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squawk, and your
hair gets dry,
And you're doggone sure you're going
to die,
But you're scared you can't and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to see you through
For you've got the Flu, Boy, you've
got the Flu.
When your toes curl up, and your
belt goes fiat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is a long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like hard
boiled hearse,
And you lattice aches and your heads
a buzz,
And nothing is as it ever wuz,
These are my sad regrets to you
You've got the Flu, Boy, you've got
the Flu.
What is it like the Spanish Flu???
Ask me Brother for I've been through
1t is a misery out of despair,
1t pulls your teeth and curls yOui
hair,
1t thins your blood and breaks your
bones,
And fills your craw with means and
groans,
And sometimes MAYBE you get well,
THEY call it FLU, ! call it HE'LL.

BUILDING AND
LOAN COMPANIES

Baxter boosters and business men
in general should not lose sight Of the
good that has been done by outside
corporations in advancing funds to
erect homes in this city. In addition
to the local Building & Loan corpora
ton which is placing loans on homes
within the corporate limits, We have
two strong companies, the Aetna Of
Topeka and the Railroad Building and
Loan Assn, of Newton, Kan.
Mr.. A. v. Smith is agent for the
former company; J. w. Kaltenbach,
of the Baxter Realty Co., is agent for
the latter; both firms are making
loans on Baxter Springs homes and
making it possible for small home
owners to own their property on
basis that amounts to about the same
as the cost Of rents.
The twenty-third annual stockhold-
ers meeting of the firm Mr.. Kalten-
bach represents has just been held at
Newton, Kansas. The association for
many years has paid not less than 10
per cent on its installment stock COM
pounded semi-annually and has an in
creasing undivided profit fun of i:07,-
900 to insure o continuation of the
same.
The assets Of this company are now
over $4,000, 900, a gain Of $445, 900 in
the past year. It is interesting to
note that this big business is built up
on its reputation for honest methods
and low cost of placing loans and the
fact that the firm keeps no solicitors
testifys its popularity in Kansas.

THE AMERICAN IDEAS
OF GOVERNMENT

When the patriots and heroes Of the
American Revolution set up q repub-
lican form of government and forbade
the creation Of titles Of nobility, the
crowned heads of Europe were dis
pleased and annoyed; but the rule Of
the people as exemplifed in the
United States for more than q century
has won the appreciation and admira-
ton of a vast majority Of mankind.
To our shores have come the poor,
and oppressed from all quarters Of the
globe and now our representatives at
the Peace Conference where more
than a score of nations have sent de-
legates, are the leaders of that con-
gress of the nations.
Americans can be proud of the hon
ors paid to our President and his as
sOciates from this country by the
kings and potentates of Europe as
well as by the multitudes Of the COM
mon people. These honors are meant
for the great nation with its republi-
can form Of Government and we can,
thank our good fortune that Washl
ington, Franklin, Jefferson and theIl,
fellow patriots had the wisdom to esA
tablish a government where equality
Of all before the law was the basic
principle instead Of establishing
kingdom or an aristocratic republic
such as Ancient Athens and Rome
and modern Venice. Every year
brings US nearer to the ideal Of just
government founded upon the consent
of the people and doing the peoples
will. The greatest good to the great
est number, and the submission of the
minority to the will of the majority,
are the notices of true republic and
that just idea is spreading to all parts
of earth. Mankind is becoming
wiser, better and happier wherever
our principles are adopted.
The oppressed nations of Central
Europe are drifting from monarchy
towards democracy and a republican
form Of government with the certain
ty Of the laws of evolution. As man
is higher than animals so is democ-
racy higher than monarchy. Democ-
racy is a great fundamental truth,
monarchy is the selfshness Of weak
Or wicked man to enslave his fellow
creatures.
