C. ". SOUTHWARK IS
ELECTED DIRECTOR
Wichita Is Represented in the
Organization.
OF NATIONAL HIDE MEN
Principal Object Is to Enforce
RuIes.
IF NATIONAL HIDE MEN

The National Hide Dealers association
organized at Chicago on the first day of
this month. has elected C. W. South
ward of this city one OF the directors of
the organization.
Mr.. Southwark said last night that IL
was the purpose OF the organization 10
get all the largo hide dealers in the
United States in the organization. The
most important action taken by the or
ganization at its first meeting was the
adoption OF resolution to the effect
that hides consigned by butchers. hawk
ers, collectors and others not recognized
By the association as regular car lead
dealers shall be bought only on selec-
ton~and that all hides shall be properly
trimmed before being weighed
Mr.. Southwark said 1t was not the pus
pose of the organization to take advar
tage OF anyone or to buy hides cheaper,
but 10 enforce rules that will be benefit
to all. He said the people in the country
did not understand how TO take care Of
green sailed hides nor how TO trim them
The packing houses all get about a cent
and half a pound more for their hides
because they know how TO skin the beeves
and how to handle them after they are
removed from the carcass.
1t would seem from this that 1t is the
intention to have country butchers and
others handle their hides better so that
they will bring more money. This. in
the end, will result 10 the bennt OF the
country butcher

BEAUTIFL EXAMPLE.
A Demonstration of Workings of
Perfected Woodcraft.

The local Camp of Woodmen
of the World have had but one
good chance to demonstrate the
value to its members of the teach
ings and workings of the order.
That chance came about a month
ago when one of the members,
Mr.. G. L. Jones, was afflicted
with case of continued or ty-
phoid fever. He was sick for
some time and the members of
the Camp went to see what he
needed and as a result u nurse
was employed to go and stay with
him until such time as he decide |
he no longer needed a nurse.
The nurse waited on him % days
and was discharged. The total
cost to the Camp was s44,. which
has been paid by the members.
This is the most beautiful example
of the workings of the order and
the promptness of the Camp in
taking up the case of Mr.. Jones
speaks volumes for the members
of Cedar Camp No. 107 w. o.
w.. and is highly appreciated by
Mr.. Jones, who is now improving
and will soon be we'll again.

A MESSENGER MISSING.
A Scab Brought Train In But
Did Not GO Out.

Monday night a scab messenger
brought the Pacific Express car
in over the Arkansas Southern
road from Ell Dorado. He could
not get an agent on the road to
accept any of the matter and
wheh>he reached here the car was
loaded to the guards with all kinds
or express matter, mostly neat
little packages of booze. The
train reached here late at night
and the agent told the messenger
that he would not receive the
matter then but would take it
next morning. He came to the
depot early and waited for the
messenger to come and help un-
load the car, but he failed to put
in an appearance and the car went
back up the road as it came in.
There seems to be no settlement
of the strike in sight and it may
be some time before
the Pacific Company does any
more business unless it grants the
demands of the employees, which
is for increased pay.
