An Immense Acreage.

The acreage of wheat planted for
next years. harvest in Kansas is es-
timated at six and one half million
acres. The. greatest acreage ever
harvested in this state heretofore was
6, 300. 600 acres in 1902. 1t is safe
prediction that if the crop is good
next year the shortage in hands and
cars will exceed anything ever before
known in any country, The expert
ence of the last few years has taught
our farmers the desiraolilty of rely
ing more on binders and not to put
their entire faith in their ability to
get hands to operate headers.

The Science of the Eve

is one that requires the most expert
knowledge and mechanical treatment.
Ninety out of every hundred people
have defective eyesight. You say
that your eyes are all right, but are
they? If you are troubled with head
ache, nervousness, irritability. or
watery eyes, if you hold a paper too
close or too far away in reading. it is
Il sure sign that your eyes are bad
and need correcting. Do not delay
treating your eyes. for by proper cor
rective methods you may be spared
the loss of sight and have saved to
you the greatest blessings of hu-
manity.
DR.. Blackwood, the special opti-
clan, neither saved time nor money in
the scientific research and the stud Y
of the eye. With his new and i'm
proved methods he is prepared TO tit
you with a glass ground to suit your
eye. He does not give you a super
fetal examination, but with his latest
y
he makes a complete and thorough
examination for which it costs you
nothing.
Children showing nervousness and
inability to keep up with their studies
need glasses. Bring your children if
they need treatment. DIR. Blackwood
candidly tells you what to do. If 10
treatment is needed, the examination
is free.
DIR. Blackwood will be at Hinkel' IS
hotel in Kinsley on Monday, Novem-
Der 80, and Saturday, December 5: at
Belpre, Thursday, December 3; Lewis,
Friday, December 4, and Garfield,
NJ Monday, December 1.
Examination free.

The Firenen's Ball,

The firemen's ball, which was given
in the opera house Wednesday even
ing, was u great success as far as the
pleasure given those who attended is
concerned, hut not as regards the at
tendance. Owing to the short notice
there were comparativ few present.
Our people usually give the boys a
crowd at this event. As it is the only
time i n the year when theifire-tight
call on us for anything id the way of
financial support, and it lis matter
of regret that more werelnG present.
We would suggest to those of our
business men who failed to avail
themselves of the opportunity that it
is not yet too late to pay for ticket.
The music was good and the floor was
comfortably filled during the evening.
At about midnight supper was served
in Reads restaurant. Mr.. Clyde
Washburn and Miss Mamie Schnat-
terly, of Larned, and Mrs. Winslow
and daughter, Miss Ethel Avery, OF
Mulliuville, were present.

Sidewalks and Business Methods.

Some of our people have recently
been increasing their knowledge of
business methods. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago stranger
came here and contracted to put in
cement sidewalks. He completed quite
a large amount of work, collected his
money and skipped, leaving unpaid
labor and material bills. The parties
who had paid for their work were dis
posed to regard it as quite joke on
the parties who were left. They be-
gan to view the situation in differ
ent light when they wdreSeatled upon
to make good the amounts due the
parties who had furnished the mater
ial and done the work. A little inves-
tigatiOn showed them that they We're
in for it and so they came up smiling
and paid for their experience, with
the except on of one man who declined
to pay. A lien was filed on his prop
erty and the matter will probably get
into court.

Say, Mr.. Graphic Man!

"Do you know where all those la
dies were going last week? l saw at
least twelve of 'em all going in one
direction?'
''Why, yes, they meet every Thurs
day afternoon at Mrs. Strong's to
sew for the fair which the ladies of
the Congregational church hold every
year. And it's not, only things good
to look at that they have. but things
good to eat. Chicken pie, salads,
rolls, cake of all kinds. candy, hot
coffee, ETC., etc, and they are all
good, too, and served in an appetiz
ing manner. Now. don't you forget
to go and take your wife and all the
children. And say, tell all the young
men to bring their best girls, it will
be fine place to get acquainted with
them. Don't forget the date, Wednes-
day, December Is. BY the way, tell
everybody the least bit interested to
send their fancy articles to Mrs.
Strong's.n

Ben Johnson In Trouble.

From the Wichita Beacon. Nov. 81.
Ben Johnson, 15-year-old coffee
colored gentleman, was arraigned be
fore Judge Alexander this morning
on warrant charging him with steal
ing a leather belt. valued at Is cents,
from the store of Charles Youngheim.
The theft was committed November
II. and Thomas L. Reynolds, who
caught young johnson as he was
leaving the store with the belt in his
pocket, was the complaining witness.
Johnson "fessed np,' and also ad-
mitted that be stole a suit of under
wear, two muff1ers and pair of
gloves from the same store. The last
named articles were recovered, but
the belt is still missing. Johnson
says he threw it away. He was given
thirty days in the county Jail, to
think over his mi ssleeds. He declared
that he never was in trouble before
Young Johnson was dressed in a
neat suit of clothes when he appeared
in court and the complaining witness
informed him after he had been SEN
fenced that his old clothes would be
returned to him in exchange for the
ones he wore.
1--WE gave him those clothes and
fitted him out with new sweater and
hat, and that is the way he repays
us. he said. "He would only spoil
the clothes over there in Jail, and he
ought not to have them anyway. after
the way he has acted. I'll get 'em
and have 'em pressed up. -
Mr.. Reynolds said Johnson had
good taste, for he stole, not the
ordinary kind of muffiers, but picked
out the dressy kind, those that sell
for s. so per.
Johnson was employed in the Hub
as porter, having come to Wichita
from Kinsley about three weeks ago.

Mrs. welPs Lecture-Readiug.

Those who heard Mrs. Wells read
ing of ''Paolu and Francesca" Mon
day evening are still under the spell
of her powerful Interpretation of
Stephen Phillips drama. Hearts
were stirred as if by piece of beauti-
full music. She has the artistic tenn
permanent which enables her to inter-
pret a poet with intensity and tender
ness, giving to each character an in-
dividuality.
The simple plot of The play and the
dramatic force with which it was
given places it within reach OF those
who have NO mind to search for the
beautiful in poetry, and yet the sim
plicity of the drama is its mark of
greatness for those who have keen
literary appreciation. Mrs. We'll s
readings persuade one that the beau
ty and harmony of poetry are brought
forth fully only by one who vocalizes
it with trained voice and delicate
touch. AS the apostle of this idea
this developed woman, with her rare
spiritual gifts, has great future be-
fore her.
The Misses Williams and Miss
Blanchard of the city teachers were
present at Mrs. Wells reading Mon
day evening and we believe the ex-
perience will be valuable to them and
TO our schools in literature and read
have the privilege of genuine, sincere
work in literature in Kinslcy and We
believe that it is the duty of the
school people, and all who make even
pretense of standing for the higher
things, to avail! themselves of it.
