Gently purchased and completely reor-
ganized as vigorously republican news
paper. 1t is said that Senator Quay, S.
B. Elkins and other prominent republi-

of the Graphic. If so. the Graphic is

republican party, and already shows won
derful improvement.
Salina Journal: We suggest to the
farmers that they make three periods of
planting their crops, especially their
corn, to wit: One early (as soon as
spring sets inn one subsequent Gin about
6weeks) and one later (not later than
the first of June.) In this way with a
thorough tilling of the soil, if crop is
to be caught the farmer will be sure to Sc
cure it. A rOusing third crop of average
planting insures farmers good yield,
and full crop all around will give him
an immense yield. These ideas are based
on practical experience.
Logan Co. Republican: I'm COM
menting on our assertion that the people
of. Colby were in favor of the ''shoe-
string" division of the judicial district,
the Cat says: That is the first time we
have eyer heard that four or five attorn-
eys constituted the Colby people, On
a matter of this kind the feeling among
the members of the bar is good criterion
to so by in Judging of the feeling of the
and if there are any more
attorneys in Colby than those whose
names appeared in a recent issue of the
Colby Tribune as being in favor of the
"shOe-string" division, that profession
comes very near being Overcrowded in
our neighboring county seat"

The citizens of Thomas county are |
bent on having a sugar plant. We |
admire the pluck and energy of the
citizens of Thomas county and especially |
of the progressive and wide-a-wake |
little city of Colby. No industry that |
could be mentioned will do as much |
toward developing the great west as that
of the sorghum sugar industry. Our citiz-
ems will do well to look this matter up
and see what can be done toward secur-
ing such a plant for this vicinity. You
will find few cronic kickers, men vino
will try to discourage any such move
ment. but go ahead with a will, work to-
gether and work hard for that which will
enhance the value of your property. your
homes and ut the same time give the
needy farmer market for his product.
Somebody make a move in the matter
1t will cost nothing to get together and
talk it over, and much good may come
from a conference in the matter. Wake
