COURSE is ATTRACTIVE
I. M. c. A. Will Furnish a Very Fine
List of Entertain ents.
Chicago MadrigaI Club Will Be One
Of the Best.
Prot. John De Motto and Prof. Newens
Are to Lecture.
Wind Up the Season With Rridqeway
Concert Company.
From Tuesdays Daily.

The lecture and entertainment course
that has been arranged by the Young
Mems Christian association for this COM
ing season at the opera house has the
appearance of being the best the CITY
ever had. Most of the attractions are
new and of a higher class than before
presented. The prices for them are high
er which explains why they will be bet
ter. We will be especially fortunate in
having a big opening attraction in the
Chicago Madrigal club, a permanent mu-
steal organization of Chicago, the men,
bers of which are taking a two weeks
vacation and are travelling together and
appearing in about a dozen different
places only.
Advertising matter of the whole course
will be ready for distribution this week
and anyone desiring may procure a book
giving a full description of each enter
tainment.
The ladies auxiliary have undertaken
the sale of the one dollar general ad-
mission tickets and will offer them this
week to the public. The commission
which they will receive for selling them
will 60 to their Juno for the furnishing
of the new building. Everyone in the
city is urged to support the course this
year for that reason as well as many
others.
The reserved seat sale will be held in
the Y. M. G. A. rooms on Saturday morn
ing, October 3. Seats being reserved in
the usual for the whole course.
The first attraction in the course will
be the Chicago Madrigal club, a per-
manent musical organization of Chieago;
composed of the best choir singers in the
city. There will be twenty-four voices,
every one a singer of merit, besides four
s~oloists. This attraction will come in
a special car and will appear here Octo-
Der II. The November attraction will
need no special advertising as everyone
who heard Prof. John B.. DeMotte give
his lecture last year ON 'The Harp of the
Senses" will hear him this year give
"Python Eggs and the American Boy
and will see to it that many more hear
him Also? In December the audience
will be treated to a novelty by Albert
Armstrong in a picture play of "The
Sky Pilot Prof. Arian M. Newens
will give a monologue arrangement of
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps story "The
Singular Life" in January. The Feb
ruary attraction will be a lecture ON
1.-The Key to the Twentieth Century,
by DIR. Thomas f. Green, a prominent
Episcopal clergyman of Iowa, who has
been setting the eastern audiences aire
with his oratory. The closing enter
tainment will be in March and will be the
Katherine Ridgeway Concert company
which is well known here and a delight
full evenings entertainment is assured.

Boys Who Broke Into East Mankato
School Are Apprehended.
From TuesdaY'a Daily.

Chief Donahue and Officer Daniels yes
terday afternoon investigated the break
ing into the East Mankato school build
ing by some boys Sunday, and as a re-
suit of their work, Hugo Oberlander and
Frank Siefert were arrested. The boys
appeared before Judge Shissler this
morning and pleaded guilty to the charge
of breaking into, defacing and injuring
the school house and damaging it to the
extent of SIP.
Judge Shissler said hat owing to the
poverty of the boys parents he would
be lenient with them this time, but if
brought in again they would not get off
so easily. He fined them So and costs
each, or $5.65, which they paid. This is
the second time that Seifert has been
before the court, and the latter caution
ed him to mend his ways or he would
get into serious trouble.
Arthur Schaub appeared for Seifert.
The complaint was made by Clark Key
cor, chairman of the committee on
school property of the school board.

WHATS THE MATTER WITH
MEADE COUNTY?

When we think of the number of
good threshing outfits owned by this
small county; when we know on
good authority that each of these
machine men are making money;
when we hear on every hand that
the farmers have a good fat roll
of bills left after paying the separa-
tor men, we realize that this is Just
about as good a country after all, as
any in the state.
Of course it has taken some time
to find this out; we did not know at
first how to handle things, but time
has shown US, and the last couple
of years, especially, have shown US
where to stand.
In spite of all the abundant proof
around US, that this country is al
right if handled properly, there is
never the less one serious drawback,
which if not remedied, is bound to
retard Meade County's progress.
Most of US know what it is, though
perhaps we are unwilling to admitlt.
1t is the petty jealousy shown by
almost all the business men here to-
ward each other. Each man is
scared to death for fear the man
next door will make five cents more
than he will.
Why can't you all combine to-
gether to push your town to the
front. Can't you realize that a
united effort will benefit ALL of you
and help fill all your purses? 1t
seems that you are all too narrow
minded for that, you would like to
see the country prosper; but you
don't want anybody's purse to get
fat but your own.
Every little dinky town up or
down the line has it's Board of Trade
in some semblance or other, except
Meade. Meade is willing to pay
form ST to So per head to get their
names mentioned in some advertis-
ing story scheme, that doesn't profit
anybody much, except the fakir who
gets it up and the printer who prints
it, and yet if asked to subscribe that
much for the purpose of advertising
the county in the east she would
hold up her hands in holy horror,
and say, go, yes we'd like to let
the people know that this is good
place to come to, but we don't see
what good it would do US, so we
can't contribute One, time in
your lives you did all swing to-
gether and you know that it paid.

The fourteen farmers who have
been selling cream to the Continen-
tai Creamery Company at their Ford
receiving station find that the bust
ness brings steady income and
makes the farm vastly more profit
able than ever before The highest

Henry Henning received check
for s67.o R. M. Early's check
was for $50. 20; Chas Pelton receiv-
ed s55.13; for June and will get a
much larger one for this months
delivery and Harry Herzer who
milks only few COWS received a
check for S31.31. The people in
the vicinity of Ford have found that
the COW and the separator are the
key to wealth and many of those
who have not been selling cream
in the past will do so in the future.
Mr.. Smith, who is the company's
agent at Ford has sold seven separa-
tors in the past month and
twelve since last Spring. During
June 100 gallons of cream per week
were received at Ford.-Dodge City
Globe Republican.
From the above it will be seen
that the dairy business is very
profitable industry. If the above is
true up in Ford County, how much
more profitable would it be in Meade
County and especially in the famous
Artesian valley.
