For- Po1tr.ctrn Taw A nn'l ign entries from most of the Europ- peare. t an nations, witn the exception oi i Gt-rmany probably will come to Gal veston togcthr on the French Line steamship Cuba, a magnificent oil burning steame, accommodating .350 passengers, which has been especially assigned for this trip from its regu lar berth on the New York run. The revue entries coming on this vessel will have an especially gay crowing as trans-Atlantic trourist travel from Gulf of Mexico ports will be at its height. In fact, the Cuba was substituted for this trip be cause of the unusually large bookings expected. Another inducement that will make this trip attractive Is the stop to be made at Havana at which time Miss Cuba will board the vessel Last year Fausto Simon, managing director of the Hotel Plaza in Havana rntertained the beauties during similar stopover, the event being in the nature of a coronation ceremony for the Cuban entry. Undoubtedly, the twenty-four hour stay of the for eign bathing beauties in the bril lian Cuban canital will be as inter t-sting this year with Mr. Simon again assisting in that feature. Those expected to make the trip on the Cuba are Miss England. Miss Delgium. Miss France, Miss Luxem bure. Miss Spain. Miss Italy, Miss Greece and possibly Miss Portugal Miss Germany will come direct to Galveston on a German steamship sailing from Bremen. The qualifying contest for the Plattsmouth ladies will be held at the Parmele theatre on April 23rd and 24th and at which time "Miss Plattsmouth" will be chosen to enter the state contest. 10.500 ($52,500) at auction today for the Ward diary dated 1629 to 1681.

UNJUSTIFIED TAXATION PERILS ALL INDUSTRIES The main danger of excessive tax ation is not in its immediate cost in dollars and cents, but in its far reaching effects upon industry. Busi ness will go where it can prosper un I?r reasonable taxes the commun ity attempting to extract unusual and unjustified taxes will find itself bar ren. Our American progress and prosperity is the result of a contin ued industrial and business expan sion. Increasing legislation and taxes are steadily making such expansion inore difficult. An article in a Tennessee news paper shows the effect of this situa tion. It says, in part: "Power com panies are now seeking: to invest more than one hundred million dollars in IM-rnianent dams and plants in Ten nessee, on which they will pay prop erty, privilege and other taxes now levied by the state, the counties and the towns. Threat of extra or spec ial taxes has halted progress of these plans.' They will have no market for the current sold under the exces sive tax burden." Such action as this must eventual ly stifle and destroy all that is best in the nature of American business. Wise citizens will do their best to see that the power of government is liot used to such rangerous ends. Los Angeles. April 4. Missing for more than three weeks since he was kidnaped from his home, Walter Col lins, ten-year-old boy, was the ob ject of a widespread search today by police who are in doubt as to the youth's fate. With no clue to the abductors, investigators were inclin ed to believe the stealing of the boy was an act of revenge. This theory was based on rather vague clues gleamed from a personal letter writ ten to the boy's mother by her hus ban, Walter J. S. Collins, a convict in a Folsom prison.

The chief feature of the address of Mr. Ritchie was that of an appeal to the members of his rarty for new leadership that would give more promise of success, the interesting of the younger men in the party in stead of- denying them a seat in the party councils and activities. He told of many instances of those who had become disgusted with the dic tatorship that had been evident, the speaker stated and which had result ed in defeat instead of enthusiastic and loyal support that should have come. If elected as national commit teeman Mr. Ritchie promised that he would make a campaign party coun sel, summoning precinct workers, the county committees and the state com mittee in conference to plan and carry out the campaign and that if the success of the party came have the patronage made on the desires of the members of the committee and as and' the reward of the faithful work in the party.

American cities, L. M. Barton, ad- j vertising manager of the Chicago Daily News, found that 84.5 per cent of them were not newspaper adver-j tisers. Mr. Barton told the story before ; several hundred persons at the open ing of the Advertising, Selling and 1 Merchandising exposition in the. Arat temple at Kansas City, realtes , the Kansas City Times. "Last year," said Mr. Barton, "60,536 merchants went out of busi ness. We do not know all the rea sons, but we believe, of course, that there was something they didn't know about advertising. Perhaps they didn't realize the necessity of consistency in advertising. Quoting from Roger W. Babson, "There arc six thousand new customers coming into the market every day, but every 24 hours there is a fresh group of six thousand persons who never heard of you before.' " j Carl F. G. Meyer, president of the Meier Drug company of St. Louis, epoke of what newspaper advertising had done for his business. 1 "Twelve years ago," he said, "I in herited the business and a deficit of $1,450,000 along with it. But I persuaded the trustees to let me have 100 thousand dollars for advertising. In 90 newspaper I put a full page ad. 1 From that day to this, our business has had a stable credit. We estab lished confidence through the circul ation districts of those papers. We have paid off our deficit, we have a satisfactory surplus in the bank and an unlimited credit." ' Foot Wear!
