Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1920-09-02

You've read how the New Edison has proved
its perfect realism. Four Thousand tests have
been given, in which more than SO different
artists compared their art with it's RE
CREA11oN by the New Edison. Leading
newspapers conceded that there diff
ference between the two.
Has any one suggested to you that these
comparison tests g faxed . that the
artist initiates the New Edison
Signor Friscoe's performance makes such
assertion positively ridiculous Every week,
&C, 600 people see his hammers ripple over
the xylophone keys Suddenly he holds them
aloft-stin.
The ripping music continues.
Slowly, the gorgeous curtains of the back
drop part. The audience gasps. The New
Edison stands revealed 1t has taken up
Signor Friscoe's performance, and is now
RE-CRRATTNG it alone. The effect of this
extraordinary magic rest upon only
fact: No one cap distinguish any difference
between Signor Friscoe's performance and
its RE-CREAT1oN by the New Edison. Signor
Friscoe could not possibly initiate the New
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1920-09-02

Edison, because the xylophone not be
made to initiate any other instrument,
to deceive it's hearers.
Sienor Friscoe's act is not Edison enter
prise He has simply been clever enough
to use the New Edison for what it Is worth.
Why don't you?
PRTC E1S
The price Of the New Edison has increased
less than 1870 since 1914. This includes
the War Tax.
Mr.. Edison has STAYED off price advances
by personally absorbing more than half OF
the increased cost of manufacture
Because of the exceptionally high quality
of materials and workmanship demanded
by the Edison Laboratories, and the
tinued scarcity of both, it may be necessary
to advance prices. But rest assured that
this will not occur, unless Mr.. Edison Is
forced to it.
Our Budget Plan-the thrift way of spend
ing-wil1 help You buy now. Let as tell
you about it.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
A Family Shooting FRAY

! Steve Verbancsics is in Jail fol
shooting his brother-in-law Louie
Kereszturi. He does not deny the
charge but gives as his reason that
they are brothers-in-laws and seems
to think that it is nobody's business
if they want to have little social
time like that among themselves.
1t seems that the two men were
holding a pre-Christmas celebration
and that they imb.bed rather freely
During the evening, apparently q
friendly wrestling match was staged
and that Verbancsics shot Keresztur
while he had his arms around him.
| The ball entered the back of the
head, passing just beneath the scalp
came out at the side. The skull wa
fractured, but the attending physical:
thinks that there will be no perma
nent injury.
The officers have been unable to
gan much information about the
affair.

a farmer living near Underwood has
written A. L: Norllng, County Agri.
culture Agent about the seeding Of
Rosen rye. 3,,G&
rs Mr.. Norling sent the farmer his
opinion of the rye and also handed
the Leader his answer, which is print
ed below. It may be of value and In
terest to other farmers. rs
iosen rye has given good results
in some Of the states east OF us. How
ever, from trials made, by farmers in
this state and, at the State Agricul-
tural College indicat tions are that Ro-
sen rye is not hard under our con
.dftiOns. In many sof the tests only a
third stand has been secured. It
has completely winter killed sin some
cases. aRosen rye is good plump seed
to look at and is .und dly a good
rye for states with milder climate.

0'Connor Talks ;
To Full House

]. F. T. O'Connor, fusion candidate
for governor, spoke at the Liberty
Theatre last Thursday evening. The
hall was full of men and women, who
had come to hear Mr. O'Connor speak.
He was introduced by John E. Will
liams. who told a little of the school
days of his and Mr.. O,Connor's when
they both attended the State Univer-
sity at Grand Forks. Mr.. Williams
made the audiance feel almost person.
ally acquainted with the speaker.
In line with his record in the House
of Representatives as we'll as in ac-
cordance with the plans outlined by
the Joint Campaign committee, Mr..
\O'Connor discusses issues only and
does not resort to personalities in any
shape or manner He is almost pain
fully fair to the opposition inasmuch
as he goes out Of his way to give
them the benefit of the doubt At the
same time he is not afraid to take is
sue with the League leaders and he
shows his audiences that they in al
most every instance have broken faith
with the people.
Mr.. O'Connor discussed fairly the
various laws that have been enacted
Dy the League and pleaded with his
guidance to hear both sides of the
question. He illustrated his point In
the following manner:
What would you think of a candi-
date for judge who would come to you
and say: If you will vote for me for
Judge promise not to hear more than
one side of the case; I shall decide
any case in favor Of the first one that
comes to me and tells me his side of
the story? How many votes would
such candidate for judge get? Why
none. Now in this election you voters
are the judges, and still there are
people who would advise you to hear
only one side Of the argument
ask you to listen to both sides. Go
to the League members and tell them
that you will go to their meetings and
hear what their speakers have to say
and read their literature if they will
go to our meetings and read our liter
ature. You people will have to talk
the issues and the men over among
yourselves and in this manner arrive
at your conclusinos."
