COUNTING ON $IO8

The foolishness of putting up SIS
year to the Townley gang Of hired
cash raisers is evident when condf-
lions are considered. Suppose Kan
sas should be idiOtic enough to go
over to the N. =. L. The present
state senate is Republican and will
be for four years as the terms ex-
pire In 1924. 1t will never pass any
resolution to submit the amend
ments necessary to put any OF the
wild dreams of Townley in effect
dreams that have already saddled
$4,000, 900 In bonds on North Da-
kOta. Kansas IL out Of debt.
SO, If the N. p. L. elects the house
and governor It will do no good un-
til 1924. Then in 1925 the state
might vote on the amendments to
the constitution and II both houses
Of the legislature and governor were
controlled by TOwnley there might
be laws to run the state in debt. The
plan calls for $1S year for SIX
years for such dupes as can be
found, $1OS for the Townley bank
account
But long before six years rolls
around Townley and the N. p. L.
will be too dead politically to skin.

ANOTHER CITY FAILS

City officials of Cambridge city
Indiana, have notified the state pub
lie utilities commission that the city
is broke, unable to borrow money
and that unless permission is grant
ed to surrender the municipality
owned water and electric plant to a
group of business men, the city will
be left In darkness and without fire
protection. The city's predicament,
they say, has been brought about by
high costs and the impossfbility Of
obtaining efficiency of operation in
commercial venture conducted by
a municipality.
Seattle can sympathize with Cam
bridge City. Its $15,OOO,OOO car
line has run in debt $500, 900 in two
years and 1t must have s ID and 10
cent fares or load this additional
burden on to the taxpayer, along
with the $40, 100000 debt for the
line, interest on some and half mil
ion a year lest taxes formerly paid
Dy the private company.
Where is that 8 cent fare the poll
icians said they would gice the city
when they got the line? The NUM-
'ipal line is free of state regulation
md can increase fare with impnn-
ty. The people pay.

THE FIRST ADVERTISEMENT

advertising is incorrectly ap.
praised as an ultra modern art and
science, for 1t is BOTH" says the
Hutchinson Gazette.
"Long before Gutenberg invent
ed movable types and printing, ad-
vertising was:
1.-The first record Of transaction
directly traceable to advertising is
recorded in the Book Of Genesis.
1.-The serpent was the advertiser,
the woman the victim and the man
the fall guy.
1.-THE serpent told Eve the apple
was good. Eve looked and believed.
She made her man go shopping with
her, and when she had the apple,
Adam did eat--and tried to blame
the woman, when called for his dis
obedience.
THE serpent knew his business.
He didn't try to land Adam direct.
He prepared his 'c0py'-the beauti-
full appeal, to intrigue the woman.
He sue eeded. He knew she had
pull with Adam that would consum-
mate the sale.
1.-The story Of the Garden Of Eden
is completed cycle Of advertising.
Modern advertising, however, has
left the serpent far in the shade In
adopting as the legend for its

TWENTY WANT A REWARD
Claimants on Woodbine Bank Rob
bers Increasing

The State Bankers association
has not yet announced its award of
the $4,000 to be given in connection
with the capture Of the Woodbine
bank robbers some weeks ago. Jas.
V. Humphrey, Jr., and Herman Wet
zig Of Junction City were in the
party that captured the two ban
dts, and the local men took one Of
them to Woodbine and then to Abb
lene in their car, turning him over
to the sheriff. According to the To-
cal men, about 20 applicants have
put in claim for the reward, which
would give each Of them $3.50 If all
claims are allowed. Recently a wO-
man came to town and saw Messrs.
Wetzig and Humphrey, stating that
she wished to put in her claim, since
she had phoned that the bandits
were in the vicinity Of Skiddy. The
bankers association is waiting until
all claims are in before acting on
them, it is said.-Junction City

"KnowIedpe IL Power"

The old maxim is as true today
as when it was first uttered. On
every hand we see evidence of its
truth.
The man, the woman or the child
who KNOWS is the one who sue
ceeds whether in great matters or
small.
There never was time when 1t
was more important for the proouc-
ers OF the Southwest to KNOW the
markets, the news and the varied
information pertaining to his opera
lions. Thousands of the progressive
and substantial farmers and stock.
men fnd that reading the Daily
Drovers Telegram is the best way
to KNOW. Another highly impor-
tant fact Is that Telegram readers
not only KNOW, but that they
KNOW 1T FIRST.
You know the local and county
news through the columns Of the
