FORTUNE FOR OIL MEN.
Farmers in Chautauqua County
Gather Riches.

Sedan, Kan, Jan. 14.-The farmers of
Chautauqua county are beginning to de-
mand a bonus for oil and gas leases of
their lands. Originally, as in all new
oil and gas territory, only a royalty
was exacted, but now, owing to the ad-
vanced development of this district,
Iand owners are getting in addition
cash consideration
For instance C. J. Lewis, whose farm
north of Monet is four miles from a
producing oil well. was paid $500 cash
for lease of ninety acres in addition to
a sixth royalty for oil and $3.50 a year
for gas O. P. Ecker, whose quarter
section is two miles east of Sedan, made
lease on similar terms
The Sedan Development company
Fitzpatrick, Bradley, Sproul and Others
has sold all its holdings in Chautau-
qua county, except the Crane $40. to the
Blackjack Oil & Gas company. The
consideration was $500 The Black
Jack company has subleased to Mr.. L,
lockwood 1869 acres in ReIIevine town
snip Lockwood paid $4,000 cash for
the right and gives one-fourth royalty
Lockwood is now laying pipe for gas
from Jonesburg, south OF Peru, to his
lands He Will use the gas for fuel in
developing his lands, and will also sell
1t to farmers along the pipe line.

BAILEY MADE A HIT.
Governor at a Banquet Talks
About Farming Experience.

In responding to the toast. Governor
or Farmer: Which is the Most Fun?"
Governor Willis ]. Bailey of Kansas
made the hit of the evening at the ban
quet which was served to the members
of the Kansas Improved Stock Breed
erS' association at the ThrOop hotel last
night. Governor Bailey was only one
of many good speakers who were pres
ent at the banquet but his talk, short
as it was. created more enthusiasm
than any. He said:
IF the subject of this toast referred
to my relative abilities as a farmer and
as governor of the state of Kansas, in
stead of which is the most fun, I have
no doubt that many of those who are
here tonight and who have their knives
out and are thirsting for gore, would
be more than willing to testify that
am better as a farmer.
But seriously, gentlemen, want you
all to realize that appreciate your po-
sition. Many of those who are about
this table are farmers, and they should
understand that the honor and dignity
of their position is fully equal to that
of state office. Your humble servant
began life as a farmer. and L say to
you now that I would rather be re-
ferred to as successful farmer than
as anything else on earth 1 would
consider it an honor. I do not want you
fellows to think, however, that do not
want to be governor again, for such is
not the case 1 wish to make myself
clear on that point so that you will not
misunderstood me-"
Governor Bailey's talk was followed
by cheers and cries of YOU'RE all
right"
Colonel E. Harrington of Hiawatha
was another speaker who made a good
impression at the banquet last night.
Mr.. Harrington responded to the toast
of Salt and Its Uses His talk con-
sisted largely of hot shot for Tom An
derson, who had handed Colonel Har-
rington a few, and the boss busters,
who were in session in Security hall
last night.

many uses. remember that way back
in my younger days 1 had an acquaint-

growth of hair. When asked about it

ducers there was Now, maybe it is

they would be ruined by soap and you intend
to send them to expert cleaner, idea that
comes down from a time before pure soap was
made. The manufacturers of Ivory Soap are
constantly asked if they know how beautifully

Soap. The uses of Ivory Soap are too numerous
to be told; with it anything may be cleaned that
will stand the application of water. You can be

as it gained during the year. Many of
those who joined because it was cheap
did not possess the necessary staying
qualities. We lost a number of mem

reason that the various relief commit

in charge gave them no patronage and
others because they made no money on
the patronage accorded them. A num-

them while in arrears for dues. Others
