A MEETING was held in Grainfeld last
Saturday, July /, for the purpose OF ar
ranging and deyising measures by which
prairie fires can be controlled in western
Kansas. After considerable discussion,
and the appointment of several commit
tees, the meeting adjourned to meet
again Saturday afternoon, July 8 at two
o'clock.-Grafnfeid CAP Sheat.
The citizens of Cove county have in
terested themselves in very important
matter. The best and most economical
way to prevent the spread of prairie fires
is question worthy the attention of
every citizen of western Kansas. Trego
county voted in favor of fire protection
two years ago and, at that time, the
sentiment was practically unanimous in
favor of that method. 1t has been very
costly and many who favored it then
are opposed to it now. In fairness to
all concerned we might add that the eX-
pense for the first year will always be
greater than for subsequent years. 1t is
not our intention to favor any special
plan, but we should very much regret
to see an apathy upon this subject in
our county after having expended so
much money. A change of method
might be advantageous, but we earnest
ly trust that fire protection, by some
means, will always receive the support
of our citizens until such time as it shall
not be necessary on account of general
cultivation and development.

HAD it not been for the newspapers of
the county the existence of the normal
held here, and just closed, would not
have been known in the back precincts
of the county much less all over the
state. In their resolutions. published
in another column. the teachers pledge
their assistance to Superintendent Smith
in his effort to raise the standard of edu-
cation in the county. The Echo, too,
pledges him its support in this laudable
purpose and, as a starter, suggests a
class be added to the program of the
next normal held in the county and
that it be called 1.-The Department for
the Promotion of Common Courtesy
GoOe COHHtyEchO.
The Echo thinks it should have been
publicly recognized as factor contribut-
ing to the success of the Normal and
"CommonC ourtesy''woul not have been
violated if it had. At the same time
the Echo is about only year old and
that must account for its evident disap-
pointment. Veteran newspaper men
never expect anything by way of rec
ignition for services and, consequent
ly, are never disappointed. We are ex-
pected to "whoop up" everything and
we do it as a rule. Those who expect
the most from their local paper are the
ones who seldom reciprocate in the
slightest degree, but are always ready to
censure when their ideas and sugges-
tions are not carried out to the letter.
At the same time editors are human and
kind words are never thrown away,

being proud of their exhibit. Many
people, who have seen all of the state

Georgia's Big Prehistoric Mound.

About twelve miles below Fort
Gaines is mound which is said to be
the largest known in the United States,
and undoubtedly the work of the
mound builders of former generations.
It's base covers more than two acres
and, running up at an angle Of about
10 degrees, it stands about 100 feet
high. Large oak trees several feet in
diameter cover the sides and stand as
witnesses to the great age of the
mound. Many years ago gentleman
had small-sized well dug from the
top down into the heart of the mound,
and among other things found the
iawbone of man that would easily
slip over the head of an ordinary man
of this generation. His explorations
were very meager. and since then
nothing like any systematic search has
ever been made.-N. I. Times.

His Sales Were Very Few.

sYou meet on the road" said a COM
mercial traveller to q y. \. Sl11 man,
"men representing many kinds of busi-
ness, and it is not always easy to class
ifv them. ] once met, for instance. on
a train in the south a calm, polite,
agreeable man who | was sure was
selling something, but | couldn't even
guess what. | learned in the course
of conversation with him that he was
selling railroad cars. At first that
may seem like strange sort of busi-
ness to be in, but there isn't anything
very remarkable about it after all; the
car builders keep track of railroad
news of every sort, projected new
roads, extensions, branches, new con-
nections, proposed new equipment,
everything that indicates present or
prospective demand for cars. and they
send out men to look after this busi-
ness as occasion demands.
speaking of the man selling rail-
road cars reminds me of story |
read oSce There were lot of travel
ing men sitting around in the smoking

made only one sale in six weeks. Some
body ventured in a friendly interroga-
tive sort of way to say that he hoped
that that was good bill. The man
said: We'll, pretty fair; it was lit
tie over $500. 000.' And when some
body asked him what he was selling
the man said he was selling railroad
bridges. aud Nappeared that the last
one he had sold was 4 double-track
steel bridge something less than a
mile long. Nobody eyinced any sur
prise at this. but they all agreed that
a man couldn't expect to sell bill
like that every day"

"'Lucky' Baldwin of San Francisco"
said Z. j. Ward of Denver, thirty
years ago was an impecInious and in
significant young fellow who loafed
around the rowdy saloons of Frisco.
He scarcely ever drew a sober breath
He had no friends, he had no money.
and he had no clothes. He was sinr
ply an object floating around on the
surface of occasions trusting to luck.
One day he made q stake How or
where he got it no one knew or kBows
to this day. But he got it. and for
three months after that he was seen no
more around his usual haunts. One
day he blew into town and related that
he had discovered a vein up in Nevada,
limitless in its production of gold He
brought specimens of the ore and it
was good. He began at once to organ
ize 4 company to work it. There was
a preacher living in San Francisco who
had some spare cash and he put it in
to the company. Not long afterward
the stockholders discovered that Bald

most nothing.

enough, they struck vein. \ cou-

with the news. Baldwin went to the
bank and drew out all the money he
had. He then went to bed and sent
for all the stockholders. They visited
his room. "Gentlemen," said he, 81

Then there were tears and hopes eI-
pressed that he would recover. Such
pathetic scene was never before en-
acted i'll a room. Some of his visitors
said that they had had hard feelings
against him, but all was then forgiven.
Baldwin cried and clasped their hands

nothing, and the shadows danced up

stole softly out of the room.
