PROMISED ECONOM \
Four years ago the Republican plat
form promised economy. At that
time, with the end of the World War
many months past, the people of the
United States were still paying war
taxes, and highly burdensome war
taxes. Figures are available for a
little more than three years of a Re
publican administration, and these
figures are the best answer to whether
that platform pledge has been carried
out.
The public debt on February 28,
1921—a few days before the end of
the Democratic administration then in
power—amounted to $24,061,684,728.
At the end of June this year—three
and a third years of Republican rule
—the public debt had been brought
down to $20,981,242,042. It is diffi
cult for any mind to realize what a
billion is. This reduction amounted to
$3,070,442,686—more than three
thousand millions of dollars.
This much has been cut off the
principal. The cut has saved Ameri
can taxpayers more than $135,000,
000 in interest charges each year—
more than a third of million dollars a
day.
Public expenditures—the cost of
running the federal government—have
been slashed with a determined hand
during the Republican regime, the
figures show. For the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1921—all but three
months of which was under a Demo
cr:'. ic administration—the outlay for
th.s purpose was $5,638,000,000. For
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924,
this figure amounted to $3,497,000,000
—an annual saving of more than two
thousand million dollars.
These accomplishments are a direct
aid in lifting the burden of taxes from
the shoulders of individuals and of in
dustry.
BANK BALANCES.
Chicago, Sept 30: A Kansas City,
Missouri, dispatch to the Philadelphia
Ledger in part follows:
Never in its history has the inte
rior rushed its wheat to market as it
has since this year’s harvest. The
17,553 cars received here in August
established a record and followed
high record July shipments of 14,615
cars. The two months receipts were
close to 50,000,000 bushels, more than
double the amount received in the
same months last year and more than
double the ten year average.
The effect has been to increase bank

deposits. Ore local bank has gained
$12,000,000 since. July 1, and has $58,-1
000,000 as compared with $41,000,000
a year ago. At the same time there
has been an actual decease in loans,
despite the 17,0000,000 bushels of
wheat in local elevators, which is more
than twice that of a year ago, which
lias called for much borrowing.
Bankers say that never was there
so sudden a transformation in finan
cial conditions as has been manifest
in the last sixty days. Many country
banks that were borrowing to the
limit three months ago have their
loans and accumulated balances with
ihrir correspondents. Most of the in
crease in deposits here is due to the
larger balances of country banns.
Re; orts from Nebraska say the turn
of the tide has g«v n an impetus to
real estate, that more farms will
change hands before the season is
over than in the last four years and
that prices will advance 10 to 25 per
cent. Sixty days ago farmers con
sidered that they were doing business
at a loss; now they are confident of a
profit. Depression and discourage
ment have given way to hopefulness
and courage.
All eyes are now turned on the corn
crop, which gives promise of a full
average yield in Kansas, most of Okla
homa, and in Nebraska, if the frost
date be well delayed. It is expected
that the months crop report will show
fully as high a promise as did August
with perhaps improvement in Kansas,
which is especially favored in both
wheat and corn.
The middle west producer has on
cmuely new point of view with a
lifting of his burden of debt. In one
respect he has a considerable advant
age over the earlier period. He then
built a new home, new barns, improv
ed his equipment and is on the whole
in far better condition than a decade
ago. Now he has that advance paid
for and is in a position where there is
less demand for added expansion. It
is likely that he will turn, where pos
sible, to investments and seek to place
some of his surplus into bonds and
mortgages—particularly bonds—with
such other securities as appeal to him.
The promoters and salesmen for stocks
are already in the field.
HOLT COUNTY FAIR
A FINANCIAL SUCCESS
The Holt county fair closed last Fri
day evening following three big days
of events including races of all kinds,
a good ball game each day and the
showing of some of the best exhibits
of farm produce and live stock to be
found anywhere.
The exhibit of live stock was good
in each department. The horses,
cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry veri
fies the statement that the Holt
county farmers are profiting by using
purebred sires and dams on the farm.
The exhibits are better this year than
in former years.
The agricultural exhibits were extra
good. A number of farmers were in
competition for the prize of the
largest exhibit which stimulated the
showing.
The fancy work department was
filled with an unusually large display
of fancy work and hand made articles
and was very attractive.
The high school department was
also an attractive corner of the ex
hibit hall and contained some very
fine work done by the pupils of the
high school and St. Mary’s Academy.
The pastry and flower sections were
also well filled.
Secretary John L. Quig informs The
Frontier that the fair will no doubt
pay out this year although the

and entertainment of guests.

SCHOOL NOTES.
The High School foot-ball team is
gradually assuming the aspect of a
foot-ball team. Graduation left many
gaps hard to fill but the boys are
working hard to make the best show
ing possible. New equipment for
twelve players served to encourage
them in their efforts to make the
team.
It is commendable that the boys,
one hundred per cent, voted in favor
of strict training rules throughout
the season; that is, refraining from
smoking, late hours and such things
having detrimental effects on their
athletics. It is hoped that the local
people will help them to observe their
rules which they have laid down for
themselves, and further that the boys
realize that “training” should not end
with the athletic season, for what
harms an athlete harms the non-con
testant.
At a meeting of the foot-ball s<#ad
held Wednesday noon Merle Hunt,
senior, was eiected captain on the
1924 team. He should make an ex
ceptionally fine leader for the coming
season and well deserves the honor
accorded him. \
The shedule, opening at lowing, Fri
«•' October 3rd, has not been com
’ ted to date, but the public can rest
: -■ od that they will have an op
j ertunity to see some good contests on
the local field. The following boys
are members of the squad: Captain,
Merle Hunt, Warren Hall, Ccril Hir
sch, A. Carney, Eli Abdouch, Harold
Hough, Clark Hough, Wayne Cole,
Richard Morrison, Bernard Quinn,
