SUMNER HOTEL ON WHEELS
Ingenious Idea Will Be Appreciated
by Those Who Are Fond Of an
Outdoor Lite.

1t is n vehicle of light weight and
apparently simple construction that IL
hauled over the roads behind an au-
tomobile. The inventor, Charles f..
Hancock. of Liberal, Ram, calls 1t a
sleeper trailer.
At it's corners are four hollow posts,
into which smaller posts are tele-
scoped in such way that by turn
ing crank (Which operates cable
on a drum) the frame holding the
canvas roof can he elevated to double
Its ordinary height.
The sides thereupon swung outward
provide two wide beds. which at night
are covered and concealed from view
by canvas flaps suitably buttoned on.

STRANGE MANIA FOR DEATH

from the village Of Opatovo, Russia,

located previously by the fumes. All
around the building armed guards had
been left, SO that the dreadful sacri-
fee should be carried out undisturbed.
When the awful thing was consum.
mated the guards shot each other. A
few men lost their nerve ut the last
moment and survived to tell the tale.
This scarcely believable incident takes
us back long way. Mass suicide

have committed wholesale suicide.
Often this was the result Of religious

by numerous CONGREGATIONS involving
hundreds Of deaths. As late as the
reign of Alexander III a case occurred

Water Needs Of pahlias.

As general rule dahlias should
never be watered. With good cultiva-
ton, enough moisture will be found in
the soil to stimulate the roots growth.
In seasons Of protracted drought, II
they show any signs of wanting water,
give 1t freely; enough to penetrate .

watering Is worse than none at all,

One warm day Mrs. Henry Hen took

Don't worry about your personal

ton to the execution of that piece Of
work. Never mind whether you
have what you call your full share
in it; never mind whether you are
getting what yon feel to be your full
measure Of credit. Have the single
purpose Of getting the work done; Of
seeing that every proper means is
employed to do 1t better than 1t ever
has been done before, and forget
yourself. the credit you will receive,
the relation you will personally oc-
cupy to your work, and II you will
do that | will give you my word you
will have accomplished for yourself
the greatest possible good. Men will
have an eye to your capacities and

ed, and 1t was decided to employ q
competent drainage engineer to
check up the drainage work. Itwas
decided that the canal must be COM
pleted, and some means provided to

as first thought.

thing you note win be be the homes

citizens who are evidently well-to do.
Ninety per cent. of them achieved
success In the same way; by industry
politeness, fairness and thrift. Like
wise, every where you will find a

along very well. and in ninety cases

THE SLUMP IN COTTON

Possibly there is much that would
bear looking into In connection with
the present very active speculation
In cotton on the New York, New
Orleans and Liverpool exchanges.
First, there is a phenomenal rise In
price coincident with Eugene MEYERS
decision to have the War Finance
Corporation use 800, 600, 900 OF the
governments credit to finace the ex-
port movement OF cotton. Then
Followed government reports sug-
gesting O considerable shortage In
this years crop, boil weevil deyas-
tations In Texas and SO on.
Now there has been a slump OF
from 50 to 80 points and it bids fair
TO continue. New Orleans press dis
patches naively declare that the
government report for the first week
In October "was considered bullish
by some and bearish by Others. .
As an official letter to the Cotton
Exchanges had previously announ-
ced that no further crop repor ts
would be issued this season, .sba-
cause the cotton crop was so far
done for, !" "the trade was taken en-
tirely unawares.
The whole trouble, as far as 1t AZ
iects the producer. seems to lie In
failure to look ahead and failure to
obtain dependable information.
England ID our best customer Tor
cotton; but this will not always be
the case. just now the British
Government is making elaborate
plans to raise In Egypt and East
Africa all the cotton needed by her
mills. Why walt to have crop al
versification forced on us?-Dear-
born Independent.

SAVE JUST 4 LITTLE TODAY

Do you wish to acquire all the
money you need?
Then save just a little to-day.
Don't think you will suddenly fall
into luck,
lt seldom has happened that way,
Your chance for u fortune will al
ways be slim
Until you've q sum to invest;
SD make up yonr mind that right
now is the time,
Begin now to feather your nest.
For the big things don't happen by
luck or 10y chance,
They are born Of the deeds Of the
past;
The small things we do every day
are the things
That really count at the last.
Then do without something you
think you would like,
And save at least part ofyour pay
Don't drift unprepared to your fu-
ture, my friend,
But save just u little today.
Get the habit Of saving, OF putting
gside,
Though It may seem q small thing
to do;
In the years that will come, with
their trials and tasks,
1t may be the saving oi you.

gle for wealth

A high breeze prevailed during the

when a good gain was much needed
for the desired objective. The Phila-

Business Is Business
BY Jimmie Heron


Business is Business, we've often
been told;
Successful business is measured in
gold;.
Do other men first or they will do
you;
Trust no man, not one, for no man
is true;
Every man for self. "Old Nick" for
the last,
Are terms In business we've used In
the past,
And we cared not how we were Gus
sed and slammed
But got alliwe could-the public we
damned.
Business ia business whatever we
think 1t;
1t may be god, may be rrinket;
It may be a mill for grinding out
gold.
A mart where humans ara bartered
and sold;
It may be trap to catch all we can,
A snare for strangling our fellow
man;
Il may be virlle, strenuous game
Which we play to win glory and
fame;
It may be Il ladder to climb topower,
To be hailed by some, "The man of
the hour"
1t may be joy-ride OF riot and dash
To gather a rep" for spending the
cash;
1t may be SERVICE to human kind;
II we think so, 1t will be, we will find.
Business Is business, and when un-
derstood,
Business ia SERVICE for all human
good;
And SERVICE means striving ever to
give
Sincere effort, aiding Others to live.
Trusting all men, all men will trust
you;
Believing all men, for all men are
true;
Success and happiness come without
strife
When business is sERvIcE-BUsINEss
Is LIFE.
