HELP EACH OTHER.

Every citizen of Barton county
can do something to help adver-
tise our county and make known
to the outside world the advan-
tages of living in this most fa-
vored of Kansas counties.
Everyone has friends in the
East, North or South, who would
be glad to move to Kansas and
engage in some business or pro-
fession, providing they were sat
isfied they could find a location
where they would prospeT
We have rOomi in Barton coun-
ty for double it's present popula2
ton. With our population twice
as large everything would be
better; the value of lands would
be increased, business and pro-
fessional lines would be more
prosperous. the local markets
better, all public improvements
more plentiful and in no way
would those whose homes are
here now be injured. Instead,
we all would be benefited.
You, readers, can help your
selves and he'll p each other by as
sisting to make known to the
outside world the wonderful ag
ricultural, horticultural and min

especially the healthful climate
and wonderful possibilities of our
own Barton county and the sew

The local paper, which records
the everyday occurrences and
experiences OF our people,; which
tells of our crops, our schools,
our churches and merchandising
interests, will give yourfriends a
better idea of our county than
they can get in any other oway
except by an actual residence
among us. Send the DEMoCRAT

months, to your friend and they
will not only greatly appreciate
it, but may be induced tO cast
their lots among us.
Anyway, call at this office and
give us the addresses of those
whom you think would be inter
ested in Barton county, and. We
will gladly mail them sample
copies free of charge.
Also, ask them when you write
to investigate the matter OF
farming and business possibiIi-
ties. Have them write the real
estate men. Dawson & Zutayefn
will be glad to give them reliable
information concerning farm val
ues and investments of any kind:
The advertisements they will
see in the DEMOCRATo will give
them an idea Of what lines of bus
mess are represented by live and
wide-awake people; and if there
are lines of business not adver-
tised in the leading county paper
they will correctly surmise that
in those particular lines there is
an opening here for men of enter

ideal part of Gods green earth,

to assist in bettering the condi-
tlon OF our neighbor and friend.
Joe Hudson's Topeka Herald is
strong Boer sympatbizer,o and like
many others Joe thinks that the Dutch
are as much entitled to manage their
own affairs as were our forefathers in
1916. They have put up good feht
against the British murderers,s and we
hope they will keep it 6p until the Pow
ers see the business of their cause and
put stop to the slaughtering Of these
inotfensive people. One word from
Uncle Sam would be sufficient Claf-

loyal citizenship ip this country
and supported by all other chris

word spoken? Viii Joe Hudson
or Oscar OBleniss explain why?
Will they deny that it is because
the present advisers and manag-
ers OF Uncle Sans affaifs are not
caring as much about the rights
OF human beings as they are car-
