Seed Whnaf

The question of seed wheat for those
who fail to raise any, and who are to
poor to buy, is one that should be
looked into closely and should not be
passed over without due consid-
Grafton. There is no denying that
such cases do exist and should receive
the attention of all interested in Sher-
man county's progress and advance
ment. This county has enough wheat
left unsold to supply all with seed and
plenty to spare, and why should these
unfortunate ones be forced to 90 east
begging for wheat with which to SOW
their acres on which depends their liv-
ing and comforts the ensuing year.
Private philanthropy does not feel
equal to the demand that would be
made upon them by those who need
assistance in this line. Public opinion
seem to think that the county should
take this in hand and see that the des-
CRYING ones are supplied. The county
is able to do this and without making
anyone feel the burden These men
pay taxes and should be recognized in
the hour of their adversely, and not be
forced to go begging in the east and
giving Sherman county a bad name
While we have not asked the opinion
of the county commissioners on this
subject, we feel assured that they will
not be found wanting in this duty to
our fellow citizens, if the law is such
as will allow them to make an approp-
ration for this purpose.

We are informed that the Prairie
DcAlG SCuOO1 WILL give d OuIISE-
mas dinner at the schoolhouse of dis
trict Sc on Christmas day instead of
Christmas tree Christmas eve. This is
right. Show no discrimination bymak-
ing grand presents to the more wealthy
and let the little ones whose parents
are poor look on with longing thoughts
wishing they could have such nice
things as they. Christ said into you,
sSuffer little children to come unto me
for such is the kingdom of heaven"
The young idea of the public schools
will give an exhibition of their singing
and recitative accomplishments to-
night, in connection with an oyster
supper. We viii not guarantee the

Goodland schools is right to the front
as an institution of learning, and its
pupils are as bright and intelligent as
could be found in any land. Boston
not excluded.
Hard times and panicky rumors does
