IN an appearance Saturday and high
hopes for a big harvest are more than
justified by the weather and crop con-

Western Kansas is more than pecu-

highest hopes only to dash them
against the ragged rocks Of despair.
The shattered fragments are welded
together by renewed promises and cur

It's past misconduct. So it was this
year. Never before had there been
such a brilliant promise for magnif-
cent crop year; and yet, Friday night
the growing grain showed evidence of
want Of moisture and not sign in
the heavens promised relief. Saturday
morning nothing whispered to the
hope that rain would fell but the IN

Memorial day rains. a kind nature

the scurrying showers that dated
back and forth before the main storm
drenohed the soil just enough to make
it easily take the greater amount Of
moisture that continued to fall in a
steady dOwnpour until early Sunday

The rain amounted to about two
inches, and wet the soil down thorough

soodlsnd Crowded Monday With Show
men and sightseers.
The Great Syndicate circus which
showed in Goodland Monday, while not
up to it's billboard representation, was
a fairly good entertainment. The street
parade was very creditable and the per-
formances in the show itself were ex-
cellent in many cases. The menagerie
was very small.
Early in the morning teams loaded
with sightseers stFeamed in from every
road, which in Sherman county invari-
ably lead to Goodland. There we're a
gocdly number of visitors from Wal
lace and Cheyenne counties, Kan, and
from Kit Carson county, Col, vino
helped to swell the crowd considerable.
When the show opened in the afternoon
the seats in the big tent we're crowded
with spectators and many were stand
ing. Besides the crowd in the big show
the side show and the grafters we're en-
pertaining a select audience of that
class Of people who insist upon monkey
ing with buzz-saws and playing jokes
on tigers, elephants and other savage
curiosities from far away jungles. Afew
we're caught pretty heavily, but if any
one believes it will teach them a lesson,
they simply do not comprehend how
dearly these iunooents love to be hum
plugged and the elation they feel in
having a polished CRATER rob them IN
der the guise of a game of chance.
Quite a few we're "shortchanged" in
the main show by skillful manipula-
tor, but if the victim discovered the
deception in time to find the artist he
would disgOrge with that debonair
complsoenoy which bespoke the Ches-
teraeld.
Fhs evening show was poorly attend
ed and the programme was cut consid-
sFably short. A few minutes after the
close the tents were struck, and the
cars loaded, and long before dawn no.

FISH FOR TEE FARMER.
The Western Homestead Takes Up III,
Defense OF the Carp

The Western Homestead Takes Up ths
Defense OF the Carp
Every farmer can raise his own fish
food as well and more easily than he
can raise poultry or pork, and contrib
ute greatly to bis own and his family's
health, prosperity and happiness. The
flesh Of animals used for stock-get-
ting purposes is not fit for the table
during the season Of service and breed
ing. The same is true Of poultry, and
applies with equal forcs to fish, espec-
tally the summeF-spsWning classes.
At such seasons the flesh Of all ami
mails is 7npalatable. In females it is
soft and flabby, and in males strong.
In this fact lies the secret Of most Of
the criticisms made on the edible quail
ties Of the carp. They have been eat
during the spawning season, or per-
haps taken from some mudhOle, where
the wonder is that they continue TO
live, and from which nothing healthy
OF toothsome could come. Then it is
to be remembered that cooking has
much TO do with the taste Of any food,
and that poor cooking will spoil the
best of food. Those critics whose judg-
ment was not affected by any Of these
causes simply differ in their taste from
the great majority of mankind. The
larger the fish the firmer the flesh, is a
principle that holds good with ali kind
Of fish. Carp at the weight of four
pounds and upward are best for table
use. The larger the pond and the
more vegetation there is in it, the
clearer will be the water and the bet.
ter the fish. Large fish are best adapt
ed to baking or boiling, smaller ones
to frying. Upon taking the fish from
the water kill it Immediately and let
it bleed freely, scale it and remove the
intestines with all the fat you can get;
it is then ready for the cook. Cook
carp the same as you would any other
fish of the same size, and if you like
the other fish thus prepared, you will
be more than satisfied with the carp.
It is no longer necessary to speed
over to Europe for testimony upon the
table qualities of the carp. There are
a half million people in this country
who will testify to the excellent flavor
and character of their flesh, seeking
the very best of our native fish with
which to compare them. In fact, the
criticisms and complaints are so few
as to deserve no attention. All men
do not like roast pork, roast beef, nor
even roast turkey with cranberry sauce;
while there are others who decline the
delicious bivalve in any form it may be
prepared; and there are thousands who
turn away from frogs quarters. 1t is
true that tastes differ, and that pre-
judice often governs tastes, and that
excellent people will differ in their OPP
iniOns and judgments. Tt is not saying
too much to claim that there is less
difference of opinion on the good eat
ing qualities of the carp, by those who
have psrtaken of their flesh, than there
is in the same number of persons on
the edible qualities of a goose OF duck

Goodlana Observes Memorial Day in Fitting
Ceremonies
The Exercises At the OpeFs House SATURDAY,
Were Very Entertaining and
Well Attended.

Such lives needing, its Joys to bring.

Sherman county met at the opera
house Saturday afternoon TO pay tFi-
butte to freedoms martyrs. At one

blue, and carrying flags and flowers.
The symbol thus presented was a lesson
in itself. In front were the nations
defenders whose frosted hair and
falteFing step told thestory of advanced
years and ripensd life; following we're
the women who had cheered on the
living, cared for the wounded and Wept
for the fallen; bringing up the rear
we're the children, boys and girls, who,
if the future should require, would
emulate the heroism Of their fathers
and the kindness Of their mothers, and
upon whom will shortly fall the duties
devolving from citizenship of a nation
Of sovereign people.

were opened with music by a quartetts
composed Of Mrs. William Walker,
Mrs. h. S. PerCival, Miss Minnie Hisel,

Then followed Rotations, music and
the drill by the children and the decor

The rain interfeFed somewhat with the
ceremonies of decoration at the
cemeteries, but it was observed that
the grassy mounds of the slumbering
dead were WFeathed with flowers by the
hands of loving friends, whom on this
day could not be deferred by storm
from paying tribute to the departed by
an expression Of that affection in the
human being known as love, which
