This country really needs business peace mow, not war. It is remarkable how touchy some people are about their wrong-doing setting into the newspapers. They bad better think of that possibility before they do wrong. One young man who is planning to get married says he may change his mind. Now is the time for him to do it, for after he is married he won't have any mind of his own to change.

COAL PK1CES AD FHE1GHT HATE The October 12, 1921 issue of the "Coal Review," gives the spot mine prices for Kansas bituminous coal, net tons, f. o. b. mines, as follows: lump, mine run, screenings, $2.40. Something of the burden the present high freight rates are can be seen by comparing these prices with the prices paid by local consumers for the coal.

The local retail dealers' profit on the coal is not large, although, of course, it must be taken into consideration in making the comparison. Whenever anyone about a country newspaper office has idle time on his hands, it is a pretty good sign that he hasn't gotten fully into his job yet. BEDECE INCOME SURTAXES It sounds good to tax excessive incomes SO per cent, but when taxes are fixed so high that they cease to bring in revenue, then it is the part of wisdom to reduce them to the point of greatest return. This is what the congress is now engaged in trying to do. The higher brackets of our income surtax practically have ceased to be productive.

They have driven capital into tax-exempt securities or out of active productive business to such an extent that the industrial revival of the country is being hampered by the lack of working capital. To tax great incomes 50 per cent may not sound so good as to tax them 0 per cent; but if it brings in mora revenue to the government, that 's 'I? I be Jerry Gets Off Easy. Jerry Hemphill, who has been doing soma special plant work in Manhattan, found a little police tag on his ntiT tPiiino- him tn ronnrt nt formed that he had parked his car improperly. Due to the word united (get the word efforts of Canary, Groesbeck and Hayden, Jerry was released without a fine. It is said that his three sponsors impressed the judge with the fact that Jerry's car was a new one, that he was; an inexperienced driver, that he was net used to city ways, and the judge let him off with a severe reprimand.

This no doubt explains the re-iuction of overhead expense in the plant department for the past month. United Telephone Voice. KANSAS COMMENT P.

Governor Allen requested every minister in the state to devote a few minutes one Sunday in speaking on fire prevention. In the days when religion had a better hold on the people man at present, ministers considered ft their duty to warn of the dangers of fire every Sunday.

Jack Harrison. The Ness County News which proposes to know, declares that there are mothers who brag about bow much; fteir children look like tDeir dad- And they have been saying that the farmers and the women never strike, but it. would appear that the women are getting notions of not working, after all, if we may judge by what we saw at Troy last week. A young lady was there who wore finger nails at least half an Inch long. The Troy women were taking notes, and it may be that they will all be wearing the finger nails long as well as their hair short, before many moons.

The significance of the custom of wearing long, finger nails lies in this, that those who have them can't work. For that reason, in some oriental countries, those of the aristocracy wear very long finger nails to denote that they belong to the "leisure class," which means that they are a drag on society, a dead load for the thrifty to carry. Wathena Times. LAWRENCE MANHATTAN 2. Htehs Played Close Game Here On Friday Afternoon.

Manhattan's fighting high school grid-men were defeated Friday afternoon for the first time this season when the fast Lawrence eleven beat them by a score of 3-2. The game was just as close as the score indicated for although the visitors made some fine gains in the center of the field, they were unable to push the home team back when the ball came close to the goal. Scored a Safety. Manhattan scored a safety in the second quarter when the Lawrence center overthrew Morawetz and the latter was downed behind the visitor's goal posts. Lawrence scored three points on a kick from placement made in the third period by Akers, left half back.

Manhattan Kicked Off. The game started with Manhattan kicking off and the ball was worked back and forth during most of the first fifteen minutes. Lawrence tried three place kicks in this period but none were successful. During the second period Testeran, Lawrence right end, began picking passes out of the air from Mackie and this combination kept completing passes during the remainder of the game. Manhattan Scored in the second quarter.

The Lawrence center overthrew Morawetz who was getting ready to punt from the ten yard line and before the punter could carry the ball out on the field he was downed. Coach Klein's team then carried the ball to the Manhattan four yard line but could go no farther. In the third period, Testeran pulled some passes cm of the air which looked impossible Akers tried for another place kick and this time the leather sailed between the bars, winning the game for the Lawrence highs. The last quarter passed without any very exciting nigra nprnrrine. Captain Herron played his usual heady game and Tobias, Washington and Middlekauf all smashed through the line for some good gains.

The Pearson brothers, Cress and Parsons showed up especially well for Manhattan. Snhs and Lineup. The substitutions made were: Lawrence Crites for Morawetz; Morawetz for Crites; Crites for Morawetz; Rice for Crites; Chambers for Gil-more.

Of course, it hadn't ought to be joy, but the custom has not changed since we were in the midst of those wonderful days of taking teacher an apple or putting a mouse in her desk. So Manhattan, as well as all Kansas school children, are elated over the fact that two holidays are in store for them next week, Thursday and Friday, when the teachers go to the state assosciation meeting. It is presumed that a holiday will be declared Armistice day, but no official announcement has been made as yet. Then the Thanksgiving vacation is yet to be annouced.
