BRINGS SOUTH TO TIME

The new rules Tor representation
in the Republican National Conven
ton will stop much of the hand
picking" Of southern delegates.
These are, in brief, that all state
shall have at least four delegates at
large. But IL its electoral vote wa.
cast for Harding in 1920 state will
have two more, making a total of SIX
delegates at large. Besides this every
Congressional district will have d
delegate If the following conditions
are met:
1. If the district has bona fide
organization.
q. If it has run candidate for
Congress at the election last pre-
ceding the convention.
3. II it has cast minimum Re
publican vote Of $500
If all these conditions exist and
the vote exceeds 10000 the district
shall have two delegates.
In the case of states having Con-
gressmen- at large there shall be, be-
sides the delegates at-large, two

The general effect of these new

provision for two extra delegates ar

that went for Harding and there

ments Of the Kansas State Agricul-

Of the highest possible standard of
quality OF our dairy products, and
the importance Of silo construction
on every farm in the state Of Kan
sas.
1t has been scientifically demon
strated that the use of silOs lowers
the cost Of production. accOmplishes
great saving In crops, increases milk
production, protects against loss by
the elements, and is an exceedingly
valuable advantage In the develop
ment and upbuidling Of our lands.
The shortage Of alfalfa makes 1t
important that silos be filled early
Any man who keeps ten head or
more of cattle viii find silo an eco

necessary for nine-tenths Of our milk

"MILITARY EXTRAVAGANCE"

Every few days you see the state
ment that 90 per cent Of the govern
ment's expenses are for war. Most
people seem to believe it, yet the fig
ures do not prove it. The New York
Tribune has analysed the government
figures and finds that while we spend
too much on war the report is a gross
exaggsration.
The appropriation for 1922
totaled 1905, 100000. This total
included $34S, 900 estimated for
the army and 1895, 100000 estimated
for the navy. The army bill now in
conference will probably be cut below.
$50, 00O,0 900 and the naval bill is not
likely to exceed $43O,00O,00O. 1t
may be less. The total allowed to
the two standing war services will
therefore not greatly exceed $780,
the appropriations.
Where do the other military
charges come in? The fertilization
bill total was $S,0OO,O00. The pen
sion bill carried $265, 100000. That
brings the direct expenditure grow
ing out of wars to little over ST.
900, O8O, O0O--or about % per cent of
the total. Evidently the interest on
the public debt-$922, 900, 0OO-is
included in the extravaganza estimate
of 93 per cent of government expen-
diture for war purposes. But part
Of this interest is paid on bonds for
the construction of the Panama
Canal and for other non military pur-
poses and on the $4,000, 0O0, 900 adj
vanced to our allies, which is loan,
not an expenditure.
For the coming year congress ap-
propriated $576,000,O00 for the pos
tai service-about Is per cent of the
total appropriations Is this war
expenditure? 1t is paying for the ma
tional merchants fleet, which still
represents peace asset Of nearly
81. O00, 100000. The legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation
bill carried $4,000. 900. the rivers
and harbors s15.OOO,0OO and the
sundry civil 1884 100000, over
$500, 900, 900 in all, or nearly IA per
cent of the total.
The charge that % per cent of the
appropriations go for past and future
wars is therefore a Pigment Of the
Imagination, unless 1t is assumed that
practically every governmental
agency is a permanent war agency.
The Civil War pension bin is still
$265, 1000 year. But who viii
say that it is money wasted 'for
the most harmful purposes? The
unification of the country was worth
all it cost. The burdens Of the World
War, enormous as they are. can also
be borne with cheerfulness. We had
to do our part in defending common

expenditure of 1901 900 for paving
is one of 237 states, counties, town
ships and municipalities announced
within the past week as contemplate
ing highway improvement to a grand
total Of $184,371,355.
More than $1,000, 100000 is avail
able for good roads and streets in the
United States. This sum, large as 1t
is, represents an increase over the
highway revenues of 1914 of only
about $50 per cent, while Highway
traffic has increased $50 per cent.
There are now 100000 miles OF
highways in the United States, OF
which only an approximate 100000
miles are improved with modern
pavements. When compared to sums
expended for luxuries by the pleas
ure-loving public the American high

for jewelry, perfumery. and cosmetics.
On the other hand the sums spent
for roads and streets are seven times
greater than those expended fol
water supply improvements, three
times those for sewerage work and
fifteen times those for bridges.
In connection with the road-build.
ing program public officials are cast.
ing about to find the types Of pave.
ment best suited to their purpose and
best calculated to save money to the
taxpayer and those who use the high
ways. 1t now costs from $4,000 t.
$780, 900 mile to construct modern
paved highways, depending on TIL,
dimensions Of the pavement, the kline
of material used and the local con
ditions encountered such as labol
costs and sub-soil conditions. Ma
turally the purpose Of the highway
officials is to get the best for thu
least expenditure, consistent will

HUNDREDS SAW SPIDER
Streets Were Thronged For the Climb
By StrOther

Hundreds of people thronged the
streets Wednesday evening to see
Bill Strother. the Human Spider
climb the Masonic temple and the
Abilene National bank building and
flag pole. Cars were lined three deep
for a block in each direction.
The Spider started up the west
side of the Masonic temple and on
reaching the ledge under the second
story window felt his way across
the building and around to the froa&
where he made his way up with re-
markable speed. When he reached
the top he brushed off a little ledge
at the corner of the building and
stood on his head there while the
spectators held their breath.
Before the Spider" began to
climb, his business manager, Arthur
HILL, told of some Of his feats and
then put on a vaudeville vocal num-
Der from the rear Of the car where
he stood. A generous collection was
taken from the crowd.
AFTER clImUfngS Tue MdSoiC Ic"PO
the "Spider" went over to the Abilene
National bank, followed by an enthu-
siastic crowd.
When he had climbed up the pill
lars he swing over the ledge and then
went up the flag pole. On the top OF
the swaying pole he stretched out
and taking a copy Of the Reflector
from his pocket enjoyed the evening
news. Then he let cigaret and de-
scended safely.
For several years he has done these
stunts daily and says he expects TO
live to be IS years old-maybe.

So Salina Hesitates to do Ahead
With Paving

Salina, June 22.-Street paving in
Salina will in all probability be de-
layed one year on account OF the
high cost which has not been reduc-
ed i'm central Kansas since the war.
Paving which formerly cost $3.50 per
square yard will now cost In the
neighborhood of Sc yard, price the
city commission and the property
owners regard as prohibitive. This
price includes the curbing and exca-
walton. The city commission has
published resolutions for paving GER
tain streets, but sufficient remon-
strances are expected to be prepared
to stop the work. Little paving was
done during the war, and one year
there was no public improvements of
any khndsF Not 10 exceed two. streets
have been paved IN the past year.

FARMERS BUYING POWER

The question, What's the matter
with business? can be answered
roughly with this simple statement
OF facts: In 1914 twenty bushels of
corn would buy ton of pig iron. In
1921 forty-fiye bushels of corn will
buy a ton Of pig iron.
This formula sets ont the relation
between the purchasing power of the
farmer and the stuff he has to buy.
What is true Of the corn farmer is
approximately true Of the cotton.
wool and livestock raiser. 1t is true
in large degree for all dealers in raw
materials.
Why the farmer isn't buying as
usual is not matter Of psychology,
