New York, May 19. Dr. Eliot
fays: "West Point if an example of
I just what an educational institution
hould not be."
Earl Kitchener visited West Point
In 1912 and spoke with enthusiasm
of what he saw. Reaching Australia,
ha proved that his words had been
more than the compliments of cere
mony by exactly modeling the Aus
tralian military academy on West
Point. 1
Who is right the president emer
itur, of Harvard or the winner of the
Boer war and the organizer of Eng
lish victory in the world war?
The answer is of vital importance
to every American citizen and his
children vital in no idle sense, hut
in the sense of being a matter of life
and death.
Representative Britten of Illinois
has asked congress to find it.
: Belong to Whole Country.
New York, May 18. Of all Amer
ican schools, West Point is pecu
liarly of, by and for the nation and
anything! that helps or hurts, helps
cr hurts the nation in a vital spot.
West Point belqngs to the whole
country as a whole. Every congres
ional district feeds it. Every
county, village, city, province, no
matter how small or how remote, in
every state and every dependency, is
a potential feeder to it.
Grant came to the academy from
a hamlet in Ohio and was so obscure
that the academy authorities fixed on
him for life a name with which he
never was christened.
Military men say that West Point,
as to material received, is a good
eross-sectii)f the country, but not
a good military cross-section. As
the material received by the academy
is not hand-picked by the academy
itself, but is sent to it as a result of
, congressional, presidential and com
missional appointments not abso
lutely determined by examinations,
which are not held by the academy,
but are held for it, therefore the

academy cannot be blamed for the
quality of"the material it receives.
The truth js that the scholarship
of a considerable proportion of the
men admitted to the academy is su
perior to that of the average 17-year-old
American school boy, because
25 per cent of cadets in the academy
today are men who have had from
one to three years in the universi
ties. The age limits for entrance
to the academy are 17 to 22 years.
This enables a man entering Har
vard at 17, and completing the four
year course there to enter the acad
emy at 21. There is a three-year
Harvard man among the cadets. Pe
spite certain deficiencies and loop
holes in the method of conferring
West Point cadetships upon Amer
ican, Porto Rican and Philippine is
lands youths deficiencies and loop
holes which make a certain number
of appointments political pap the
fact remains that in those solid at
tributes which make for good -citizenships,
the boys reaching the
academy are superior to those enter
ing any other American school.
Physically, West Point represents
the best in America, It has to..
Geographically," ' it is emphatically
representative of all America. It has

Morally, it is representative of
TRY HAYDEN'S FIRST
A Business Talk by J. Eay&it
OsMka, Nebraska, ,
May 18, 1980.
In compliance with that great truth, '"Out of the
fullneu pf the heart, the mouth speaketh,',' men and
women, and little children, too, are talking of the so
called organized effort to reduce prices on things essential
to the home. I '
' Just as the high cost of living, during and following
. the war period, has been the uppermost thought in the
mind of everyone, so every proposition promising relief
on that line has become the subject of paramount consid
eration in the home, in the shop and counting room, and
oa the street corner. In consequence of this, I have today
been asked in person and over the telephone, times too
many for number, "What win Hayden's do?"
Directly my first answer has been, in the words of our
time-honored motto, "Try Hayden's First."
This motto has so long and Huccesmfully served as a
guide to those in search of first-class foods at lowest .
' possible prices that its use on this occasion needs no in
terpretation. If interpretation were necessary, it is found
is the unassailable fact that the only answer to the ques
tion is "goods and prices" goods whose quality may be
depended upon, and prices that put these goods within the
reach of the modest purse. THAT, HAS EVER BEEN
THE POLICY OF HAYDEN'S.
Knowing the quality of our goods and the fairness of
our prices, we are content to rest upon the reminder that
"Try Hayden's First" has for many years been the shib
boleth that has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars to
. the purchasing public of Omaha and vicinity. ,
Tomorrow, and for several days thereafter, I will tell
j you something of the methods that have made it possible
for Hayden's to render this service to the public.
1
. Those who "Try Hayden's First" will find, ts
Hayden's has fond, that goods purchased and prices
fixed upon a fnndamental basis, as an ever-lasting business
. rule, provide merchant and customer with the protection
to which both are entitled in the building of permanent
and satisfactory trade relations.
plain, solid, sane America. It can
not be anything else, despite faults
of detail in the present system of ap
pointing men. It is a poor boys''
school. Not 5 per cent.ot the men
in it come from families of large
means.
Caste cannot survive such recruit
ment and that is why West Point
has, for 118 years been of, by and
for the people.
Affects Whole Nation.
Hence, anything affecting the
academy affects the whole people
whether they know it or not. Prob
ably they do not. In peace time,
the academy is of no interest to
civilians, except as j show place to
travelers (going up or down the
Hodon by the day boat. Relative
ly few of them stop off to view the
institution and its works. More
should. No other propaganda would
so assist the cause of a sane pre
paredness. ,Amng others to whom
the stop-over might be a source of
the kind of illumination inherent in
hard facts is, Dr. Eliot.,
He is due for a visit. .
Since 1898 he has never been
there. ...
The only other time he was there
was in 1878. ;
In other words, in 42 years he has
made twon-the-spot studies cf the
academy and methods.
He will be welcome again.
West Point is spartan but Mon
astic. From the cadets' austere
quarters to the batteries on the
heights, West Point is open to the
world, class rooms, laboratories, rid
ing school, library, museum, pic
ture gallery, board rooms, chapel
you rrtay enter them all. You may
behold men being instructed in
dancing or in military hygiene. You
may see them standing like statues,
on each side of the fireplaces in
those bedrooms so pitilessly bare of
adornment, or xu see them blind
folding their eyes whjje mettlesome
horses take them over hurdles. You
may, in short, see men who, in a
very special and real sense, are the
children f the .epublic, at work,
at play, at prayer.

A new carburetor which com
down the gasoline consumption of
any motor, including the Ford, an4

third to one-half is tho proud
achievement of the Air Friction Car
buretor Co., 431 Madison St., Day

and more mileage than you now get
from the highest test gasoline. Many
Ford owners say they now get as
high as 45 or 50 miles to a gallon
