HOW MUCH FOB A BAXA5A!
Price of Lemonade Will Bay Whole

How much do you pay for a banana?
Two for a nickel In the grocery store,
two bits for banana splits In the ice
cream parlor or a dime in the Pull
man cart
In Honduras and other Central
American countries you could get
them for practically nothing. The
price of a lemonade or a matinee
ticket to a movie theater would buy
a big stem of luscious bananas. Hon
duras is the nation that exports most
bananas to this country and there
banana stems are sold at 15 to SO
cents. They retail In the United
States at S3 to 39.

IT
ACCEPTANCE TALKS
Cox Will Advocate Repeal of
Present Excess Profits Tax
to Reduce H. C. L.
FLAT TAX INSTEAD
Harding Will Make Strong
est Appeal to Progressive
Voters in His Speech.
By United Press
COLUMBUS, July 16. Repeal of the
present graduated excess profits tax
as a means of reducing the cost of liv
ing will be advocated by the Demo
cratic nominee during his campaign,
it was stated today.
Cox advocates the substitution of a
flat tax of from 1 to 1V4 Per cent on
the volume of business by all busi
ness concerns. Virtually the same
change has been recommended by
President Wilson, David F. Houston
Secretary of the Treasury and his for
mer assistant. R. T. EffingwelL
Cox believes that this proposed tax
will raise from $1,600,000,000 to 32.
000.000,000 annually. The present
graduated tax greatly increases the
cost of necessities, he believes, and he
will deal at length with the tax in his
speech of acceptance.
Republicans Take Progressive Stand.
MARION, O, July 16. The strong
est appeal to progressive voters con
forming with his past record, will fea
ture the speech of Warren O. Hard
ing In accepting the Republican presi
dential nomination.
Harding is prepared to espouse pro
gressive Issues and not stand as a re
actionary or conservaUve, according
to his advisors here. The nomination
of Governor Cox and the activities of
the Third Party group at Chicago led
to his decision to play up the progres
sive vote.
Harding and his counsellors realize
that the rank and file of the Republi
can party will naturally support the
ticket But the progressive vote, tre
mendously augmented by the women
votes, will go to the polls next Novem
ber without party ties and It places
the balance of power In the hands of
this increasingly large and doubtful
group.
Harding is determined to make an
effort to get his share of it

WABASH SCHEDULE IS CHAGED
Travelers Should Paste This Up on

When the new Wabash passenger
train schedules went into effect last
Sunday many Columbians wondered

each out-going train makes direct con
nections either for St Louis or Kansas
pity, except the old 4:20 p. m. train
which arrives In Centralia at 5:15
p. m. enabling one to catch a 5.22
p. m. train for St Louis. However,
one must wait until 6:20 p. m for the
train to Kansas City.
The most Important change is the
new 9:30 a. m. train which arrives
In Centralia at 10:25 a. m. in time to
catch the only new train on the main
line which arrives in Centralia at 10 : 30
a. m. and reaches St Louis at 2:15
p. m. instead of 3:50 p. m.. the former
time. The new 9:30 a. m. train may
be taken for. all local points.
The new 11:20 train arrives In
Centralia at 12:15 p. m, meeting the
12:27 p. m. train from St Louis which
arrives in Kansas City at 5.30 p. m.
The train which formerly left at
6:50 a. m. now leaves ten minutes ear
lier in order to meet the 6:40 a. m.
train for St Louis.
Train No. 36 now leaves at 1:35 p.
m. instead of 4:20 p. m. It arrives
In Centralia at 2:30 p. m. connecting
with the 2:40 p. m. train on the main
line for St Louis.
The 5:40 early morning train re
turns to Columbia at 8 a. m. The
9:30 a. m. train returns at 11:20 a.
m, the 11:20 a. m. returns at US p.

STUDEKTS FOLLOW LO.G TRAIL
Walkers Say Missouri Gets Prise for
Worst Roads So Far.
Two tanned young men with blank
et rolls slung from their shoulders
walked into the Y. M. C. A. Building
last night and Inquired for rooms.
They were Thomas W. Reynolds
and B. B. Barrett, students In the
School of Engineering of Lnlon Col
lege, Schenectady, N. Y.
'We are on our way to San Fran
cisco." they said. We left Schnectady
June 9.
The youths are enthusiastic-about
the long trail they are following along
country roads, through cities and
across mountains. They only walk
when compelled to and that is not of-
en, for they say that autolsts along
the roads are usually willing to give
,them a ride. They rode from Syra
cuse to Rochester in an automobile.
At Erie, Pa, they became acquainted
with a business man who took them
to Indianapolis in his machine.
"We worked on a farm in Illinois
for a week, harvesting and shocking
wheat. The grub was good and we
had a regular time," -tsald Reynolds.
"If the roads In HUnisand Missouri
were as good as .Use food is ,they
would be better than the roada-in
New York. New York has the best
roads that we hare been over. Mis
souri has the Worst, spelled with a
capital W."
'Hey! Give us a ride," yelled Bar
rett to a man driving a Ford on the
St. Charles rock road Just out of St.
Louis. He replied, "all right", but
kept on going. "That made us sore,"
said Barrett.
The students say they are having
the greatest vacation of their lives.
With few exceptions the people along
the roads they have traveled are
friendly and hospitable. As they
more from one section of the country
to another they get In close touch,
with the Inhabitants.
"In the East people say 'I cal'late
to', while In this part of Missouri peo
ple say 'I reckon so'," said Reynolds.
"When we get to Frisco we are
going to buy a Ford and drive and
push It back." said Barrett.
At 8 o'clock this morning, with
their blanket rolls slung over their
shoulders, the sun on their backs and
their shadows before them, Reynolds
and Barrett walked toward the West

they will see It.
