WESTERN KANSAS BUSY.
Everybody Has Been Sowing Wheat
These DAYS.

G. W. Davis, Of Brownell, Ness
county, an influential businessman
and politician Of Western Kansas,
spent the day in the city. He says
western Kansas is devoting all Of its
energies to sowing wheat and the
largest acreage ever known is in the
ground and the plant never looked
better. The settlers are sowing the
berry in every available piece Of brok-
en- ground and are putting some in
on the prairie sod. The people have
been unable to get drills enough.
Most Of those obtained have been sold
three or four times and have sowed
hundreds Of acres. Mr.. Davis says
the Hollinger Lister drill has proved
the best implement ever introduced
into Western Kansas and he is nego-
tiating for It's purchase, intending to
manufacture it at Iola's new factory.

AGNES FINE RECORD.
Paying Very High Prices for Butter
Fat Regularly.

The Acme creamery is making
record. Its pay day is on the goth Of
the month and 1t has just sent out
checks for October milk at the rate
Of 20 cents a pound for butterfat, the
highest rate in the county. The
Acme is not big company affair
with score Of skimming stations
but the growth Of its business seems
likely to induce spreading out. Its
product is proving very popular and
brings the top prices in all markets
and the patrons receive the benefit in
the high returns for their milk. Much
Of Its success is due to the careful and
businesslike supervision Of its general
manager, Z. $. Engle, who has proved
the right man for the place. The COM
pany and Mr.. Engle are to be congrat-
ulated upon the success that has come
to the Acme.

How About This9

1t is reported that one Of the South
Dickinson township trustees-elect felt
so good over the election that he or
dered a key Of "spikes" from Kansas
City for the township before he quail
fed and paid twenty cents more for
the same, than he could have bought
it for at home from his own taxpayers,
thereby causing much grief because
Of his not patronizing home indus
tries. But it may have been keg in
A key. JEFF.

LOVE AND ITS WAY.
Frank Kirkham's Case Il Dismissed
in Court.

IN Court.
Frank Kirkham is free again and
can 60 back and serve his term as a
soldier, His sweetheart, Lucy Hsger,
who had him arrested, thinks too
much Of him to send him to Jail.
Frank has been Miss Hager's lover
for sometime and when he asked her
TOR $25 to start shooting gallery at
Hutchinson and pay a $3.50 loan at
junction City she sold COW and let
him have it. He went 10 Junction,
redeemed some clothes with the $3.50,
spent the rest and joined the army.
Then she had him arrested. But when
the case came up for hearing she did
give very bad story against him.
She said she had given him the mon
ey except the $3.50, so the case was
continued until today and Kirkham
was held on the charge Of obtaining
the $3.50 under false pretenses. But
since then he has given her a note for
the $25 and she Is satisfied, so there
was nothing to do but let him go.
The case was dismissed. They seem
to think a good deal Of each other and
this Is doubtless the cause Of the com.
planning witnesses leniency.

HERE Is A GOOD THING.
Why Ship Brick to Abilene From
Southwest Kansas.

Many thousand brick have beer
shipped to Abilene this fall from
Coffeyville in Southeastern Kansas.
They cost about $l2 to us thou
sand Of which price the large proper
ton is freight. Right here in Dickin-
son county is as fine clay as was ever
manufactured into brick and there Is
no reason why there should be
a single brick shipped into this coun-
ty. Brick can be made here SO cheap
that brick walks would cost far less
than board ones and the material
would be Of much value for building.
