BOND ISSUE CARRIES.
Light Vote Cast, But Endorse
ment Almost Unanimous.

Heavy Vote in Fourth Ward-OnIy ii
Votes Cast For Rejectiou--Pre-
liminaries will be Arranged Tuesday
Might've Per Cent Bonds, First
Payment in Ten Tears.
Morgantown Independent School
District decided Saturday by vote
that was almost unanimous to issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000 to
build school building in the
Fourth Ward The vote was very
light, 32l being cast Tor ratification
and only Ia for rejection. This is
about one fifth of the total vote of
the city. Assuming that all who
did not vote against the issue we're
for it, the majority was about 1900
to IA.
The heaviest vote cast was on
Wiles Hill when l07 were polled.
They realize the need of schools over
there. Seneca came next with IA
votes. In Greenmont, four votes
were cast against the bond issue;
three in South Morgantown; two at
Municipal Hall; one in Seneca; two
OF the West Side.
1t was circulated in the Fourth
ward that an attempt would be
made to beat the issue and the voters
bumped themselves to make the ma
jority large. The School Board will
meet Tuesday night to arrange for
the issue of the bonds They will
bear five per cent interest. and the
first one will be paid off in 10 years.
After that, they will be taken up at
the rate of two each year, thus can
ceiling the last one in 20's ears.
The first bond of the $500 issue
to build the High school building is
due this year. The School Board
desired to arrange that none of the
new bonds would fall due until all
the old ones are paid off. This
could not be done however because
there is a special statute which re-
quires all school bonds to be Iiqui-
dated in 20 years. Municipal and
county bonds can run 81 years. For
five years. the interest on the old
and new bonds will amount to 81, 800.

Three Counties Call for More Men fo

The Eagle yesterday received a letter
from A. II. Moffett Of the Moffett Bros.
State bank at Larqed stating that Paw
nee county was badly in need of harvest
hands. 1t was estimated, Mr. MofTett
states, that 500 more men could be used
TO advantage in that county alone.
Five hundred hands are needed in
Pratt county and 900 in Kingman. This
is the report that was brought by men
coming from those counties yesterday
Pratt has 147, coo acres of wheat and King
man 10000 all of which is ripe and must
be out at once. The hot weather dur
ing the last few days has ripened the
wheat and harvest is now on in fun
blast in all the southern and western
counties.
At every station west of Wichita the
farmers are at the stations securing the
harvest hands and few of them get as
Kingman and Pratt Center Outside of
three counties there ere enough har-
vest hands to cut the wheat. although
more could be used TO a good advantage
and are being employed by the farmers
whenever they are found. For this rea-
son Kingman and Pratt think they are
not getting a square deal Men from
those counties yesterday said that il was
impossible 10 get hands by way of Wichi-
Ia because they were employed before
they reached these counties. These two
counties are bowling for rates from ok
lahoma TO the harvest fields. They figure
that harvest will soon be over in Okla
