Yes, Why Can't They!

ED INDEX: Don't you see what big
stories the SedgwicK county boys are
telling about crops. Why can't they
tell warm facts like we do? 1 think l
shall prosecute Judge Ellis. l saw dan.
ger ahead last spring when he drilled
In two bushels per acre of cane seed for
feed on the field east, and across the
road from my house. We put up a
government sign II feet high and this
cane IS hiding 1t from view on the south
road and we want him to cut it down;
but he won't. l will compromise by ap-
pealing the case if he will have one of
his men take an ak and cut the sun
flowers down on the west and south of
the cane. Why can't he be neighborly
like the rest of US. Mr.. Gilbert, on the
west Of US, could not work on account
OF held of oats we had that was IL feet
high. L took our Deering binder, like
neighbOr, and cut them down. He
was happy; but when we stacked them,
he kicked; it did no good; the shocks
were so tall that he could get no air.
We do not want to stack them till cool
weather, say January. guess we will
stand him suit. Now, if Uncle Jerry
Rusk will explode a car load of powder,
car and all, over the station we will
have big rain, and it will destroy my
alfalfa that have down, but 1 will not
kick if one of the car wheels will NOW
swath through that cane of Judge FL
lis so you boys can see my cottonwood
trees. The boys on Antelope fats and
south OF town are complaining because
the threshing machines do not come
and thresh out some wheat stacks so
they will have room to pillow. And if
Ben Wadsworth's big corn, north of
the station blows over on the govern
ment fence and breaks it down. he is in
for suit. AS for DR.. E. 2. Miller,
with his high tariff wheat stacks, why.
he got lost in one of the corn fields, the
other day, and the ears of corn nearly
beat him to death. We heard him
shouting for free unlimited prairie"
He finally fell in wire fence and tore
his alliance clothes that he was stack
ing wheat in. He took the train Sun
day morning for the Sedgwick county
ranch to get little fresh air, and to
tell Marsh Murdoch all about It. But
he Will return here in two weeks and
when he gets bid or two on his wheat
| think he will join the alliance. Now,
if any stranger comes to Medicine
Lodge and doubts these facts, tell him
to drop into Cook & Palmer's office and
behold some samples of Barber county
soil, then come out here, go into the
station, climb up cane stock and take
a look around, and down on the Gyp-
sum hills. Yours respectfully.

Preacher III Charge.

Crops are in tine condition.
Fine weather, but pretty hot.
Threshing machines are in full blast.
Rev. McMurtry's daughter and 81 on
inlay are visiting him.
Rev. Tilbury filled his appointm ent
1T the Enon church, Sunday and Sun
lay night and baptized one candidate.
The Sharon alliance has elected I'm
lie Sam Henton for their president for
The coming year. Wonder if some
good republican wouldn't like to take
that place from him like they did the
post-oftice. We think they are too slow
md Uucle Sam has too many old stand
oys. He has been called too lazy to
work but we see he has built about 40
large rIcks of wheat in IA DAYS. and
think that is pretty good for an old
man
The early peaches, a pricots and plums
are wonderful; regular GO. p. over
production. Guess we need protection
for this infant fruit raising or some
farmer might get busted.

NO BE K CASE,
About Paints!

It is the best econo-
my to use the very
best paint, especially
for outside work, for
the reason as every
one very well knows
that this climate is
very severe on all
paints used for exter-
ior work, causing the
common cheap kinds
to chalk and fade, CIV
ing, after a very short
time, no protection to
buildings, and being
unsatisfactory in eV-
cry way. Believing
the best is the cheap
est always. we are
again offering for the
spring trade The Old
Reliable Mound City,
strictly Pure Mixed
-
Paints in all the new
and desirable shades.
We have sold this
paint for three sea-
sons. and it has never
failed to give perfect
satisfaction, from the
fact that it is not a
mush filed with Span
ish whiting, Barytes
or common clay, but
is strictly pure French
Zinc and Lead milled
with finest colors. If
you are thinking of
painting anything this
season, call and see us.
