DreamIand Closes

The beautiful and attractive Dream
land Cafe at 548 East jefferson street.
which opened a few months ago in a
blaze of glory, closed it's doors last
week and now the place is dark. Mr..
and Mrs. Roy Lucas, who conducted
the establishment, succeeded in main
tanning high standard of service,
but lack OF patronage forced them to
close the doors. The closing of this
and the famous Gillards Cafe proves
conclusively that the colored people
of Phoenix are not ready for first
class cafe conducted along modern
lines. Only small restaurants and
lunch rooms can survive in this COM
muntty. Some day, perhaps, Phoenix
will welcome and support a firstclass
cafe.

WHERE THE BONDS GO

In an effort to point out some of
the results, good and bad, of high
taxation, the Wollman Review cites
the experience of a Kansas city. which
while not named, all Jayhawkers will
recognize as wichita, TO illustrate its
point. The Reviews story follows:
According to the census figures of
1920, a Kansas town had a popula-
ton of about $4,000. On that basis
there were "a cities in the United
States that surpassed it in the number
of inhabitants. This town is con-
sideFed a fairly prosperous community
of the west. Its wealth is drawn from
the grain fields of its state, the pack
ing houses and livestock sold in its
market. 1t is on the edge of the oil
territory of the southwest. 1t has 40
more reason to pride itself on its re-
sources than many other cities of
more reason to pride itself on its re-
sources than many other cities of
more or less population in the great
southwest.
Moreover, the people of this town
and its adjacent territory may not be
regarded as representing a type of
trained investors. Crops have been
good and bad. There was a time in
the lamented nineties when hundreds
of fine residence buildings in the city
stood vacant for want of either own
ers or tenants. The west "came back
and the city with it's nucleus of sturdy
Kansans, with faith in the-future. re-
covered with the adjacent community.
1t also has felt the ups and downs of
the last few years. It's wealth Is de-
| Fiyed largely from agricultural effort.
It shared In the high prices during the
war and it felt the effects of deflation.
Under such circumstances. it is re-
markable to note that one investment
t., hot HI -.
l,sell $25, 900, 900 of municipal bonds in
1921, and that more than half of these
| transactions represented sales to the
| residents Of Kansas. These figures
are impressive in two respects. In the
I first place, they show the investment
absorbtive power of a relatively small
community that has been educated in
bond buying as a result of the Liberty
bond campaigns. in all probability.
OF far more importance than this,
as an evidence of tendency. is the dis
position of its investors to put their
funds into non-taxable securities. It
has been the popular Impression that
only the ultra-rich were indulging in
such methods, 1t was to be accepted
| that the captains of industry, the
banking element of the "effete East"
would attempt to escape the impost
| levied on the well-to-do. But here is
a community of agriculturists. incapa-
I BILE of evasion, not educated in the
wiles of the crafty multimillienaire,
that has endeavoFed to put its hard
won savings inte a form OF security
that will be beyond the reach of legal
capture.
In our opinion, there could be no
better evidence of the futility of I'M
| just taxation metheas. In Kansas
alone, thru this ore institution, they
have taken $12, 500, 900 OUT of the zone
of constructive enterprise ana put this
sum into municipal loans. Instead of
being a partner in the great work
of the nation, this capital has become
a creditor that will escape taxation.

Curing a Knocker-2.

Curing a Knocker-2.
The man who marries a girl, and
makes her the target for the spleen
he dares not vent upon the balance
of the world, is as despicable a erea-
ture as lives, for he has taken in his
hands a fellow creatures life and de-
liberately ruined it to- crafty his
cruel within. For to a woman her
home is the world, her husband is the
god who hangs the sun in her sky, or
biots it out in darkness. He makes
for her happiness, or misery.
If he makes her feel that he adj
mires her, that he appreciates all that
she does for his comfort and we'll
being, that he sees and understands,
then nothing that she may have to
endure or do for him is too much or
too hard. But if her every effort is
rewarded only with blame and in
gratitude and sense of failure, then
nothing is worth while, ana marriage
becomes nothing to her but slavery
to grinding tyrant.
If men would only trouble to study
the psychology of women little, hus-
bands would forbear to be knockers
Just for their own selfish good For
it is an axiom that you can lead a
woman where you cannot drive her,
and that you can cajole one into do
ing things that no earthly power
could coeFce her into doing.

the hammer with the entire feminine
sex, and if a man wants to develop
any particular virtue in his wife, he
should praise her for possessing it,
instead of criticising her lack of it.
For if she thinks her husband admires
certain quality in heR she will bend
might and main to acquire it, but if
she knows that he is going to blame
her for not possessing it, she will
shrug her shoulders and say, Whats
the use?" and let it go at that,
Let man, for instance, be forever
extolling his wife's pies, and she will
sit up nights with the cook book until
she becomes the champion pie maker
of her community. Let a man sing
the song of his wife's thrift, and she
will pinch the buffalo off a nickel.
Let him praise her ariably, and her
good craftsmanship, and her breadth
of view, and she will bite her tongue
out before she Will call time on him
when he stays out at night with the
boys.
But let a man growI over his food,
and his wife will say to herself,
| s'What's the use of bothering with try
ing to get up good meals because he
will find fault anyway" Let him
raise ructions over every bill, and she
will revenge herself by. eXtraYagant
buying. Let him show her that he
thinks her a dull companion, and he
will have to fight for his latch key
to get away from her.
Praise is a stimulant that puts fresh
enthusiasm and energy into US but
constant criticism takes every bit of
spirit and enthusiasm out of US. 1t is
the dreary dripping OF cold water that
sends our morale down to zero, and

Therefore, I say to all men: 'If you
want a good wife, boost, don't knock.
A little appreciation goes a long way

Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am nine
teen years old and lonely. I have been
with a few fellows. When 1 do GO
they seem to like me and always want
to go again. but if l don't want to go
with them it is ages before anyone
else asks for a date. Boys always
treat me nicely, but I wonder why they
rarely ask me to go any place. I am
naturally rather shy and get SO lone
some sometimes that almost wonder
if life is worth living after all.
LONESOME GAYLE.
Very few girls enjoy popularity. 1
think you ought to be thankful be-
cause boys seem to like you and take
you places occasionally. Probably you
want some one to love you and pro-
pose marriage. At your age it is only
natural that your friends should be
too young to talk of marriage. My
advice is to enjoy boys when they
come to see you and when they do not
to be satisfied with the companion
ship of your girl friends.

come to see me four times and he
has asked to come on Sunday night.
