The DEMOCRATS editor in last
weeks edition made mention of the
sound condition of the Banks of
Great Bend City. In speaking of
banks we are of the opinion that we
can take few chips IN this game
and Hstay the limit ourselves in the
way of showing up well in Banking
institutions The Brinkman- Brack
State Bank of our city having deposits
amounting to something like
S62,367.67 or over three times as
much as at this time last year. Great
Bend Banks have deposits to the
amount of about $4,000 per capita
of its population; ours to ABOUT
5000. 90 per caDita. so Won see we can
blow our own horn a little. Mr..
Taylor: the efficient and affable
Cashieri of our Bank will leave us
shortly to take up the same work in
the Brinkman Bank at the county
capital. and while we are very sorry
to see him leave our midst, yet we
feel proud of his advancement and
firmly believe that some day he will
be heard from in banking circles in
way that will make us swell up with
pride that will liken us unto a box of
dried apples in a rain. Art. is
Kansas product of the right sort; tits
only few short years back when he
was one of the small kids at the
county seat with wisp of hair stick
ing out of the top of his hat and the
appendage of his neither garment
futterlng in the breeze through the
deficit in the basement of his parta-
looms, but he is coming right to the
front in these later years and we are
certain that success will crown his
Jealous endeavors.

enquire into their work, question
them and help to keep interested
When they come home with monthly
report card showing a low grade in
department, for your children's good
enquire why it should be so and insist
that they raise that grade by closer
work and more earnest efforts, also
by obeying all the rules cheerfully
| then better work will result. This
means either one or the other, some
thing done, or nothing done and
precious time wasted. Remember a
grade below S5 in department means
something wrong and should be
attended to at once. Do not just
sign your name to card, not needing
their standing. If you do this no
Ipaying any attention to their stand
ing and work, it may be a sign Of
encouraging your children in dis
obedience and a failure TO accomplish
anything at all and would be bette
to keep them home and work ane

anflc Scheme of the North
I ern country Is on Foot

Toronto, Ont, July 16.-The irriga,
tion scheme which the Canadian Pa,
,cifc has now under way is undoubted.
,ly the largest undertaking of its kind
on this continent. 1t embraces an
area extending from Calgary for $50
miles, and runs so miles north and
south. Through the center of this
tract the main line of the Canadian
Pacific runs. The greater part OF
three years has been devoted to re.
connoissance and preliminary surveys
of the proposed canal scheme and the
land to be served therefrom, and the
result shows that about one-half, or
1900, 900 acres of the block can be ir,
rigated at an ultimate cost of between
100000 and $4,000, 900.
A main canal 20 miles long, with a
bed width of 60 feet, and carrying wa.
ter a depth Of 10 feet, is under con
~struction. Some So miles of Mstribut.
ing canals have also been located,
and the completion of this sector OF
the scheme at an estimate cost OF
$1,000 900 will irrigate an area of 300,
600 acres and render available a con.
tignous area of about 400, 900 acres,
for grazing and dairying.
This portion. of the scheme is to. be
dfsf completed and proved a success
before amy further extension is under
taken, but if success is obtained, then
the necessary extensions will be un
deftaken, to finally irriga:e the full
amount of 1900, 900 acres, and develop
the remaining 100000 acres fol
srazing and dairying.

lie congregation, under the leadership
of E. P. Murphy, have organized the

bers pay a small sum annually ($1.00)
and thus create a fund which can be
used in a systematic manner to keep
the cemetery and the grave lots there
in in proper order, to have the mon.
uments placed in good condition, the
fences repaired and such other i'm.
provements maintained as may be nee
essary, thus relieving the individual
lot-owners from the responsibility.

treasurer; Rev. E. P. Murphy, A. Huck-

TRAGIC INSOMNIA
Murderous Rage Caused by Lack Of
sleep Proves Fatal { Two people.

A fearful tragedy recently occurred
in Philadelphia where a prominent
chemist shot both his wife and him
self after a desperate struggle. His
physicians are reported as saying that
the terrible affair was due to mental
arrangement caused by sleeplessness.
Many suffer from this cause with
out knowing how to obtain relief
while their condition daily grows more
desperate. All such will read with
interest how Mr.. Thomas Hessian, of
South Hampton, N. H., finally sue.
ceeded in Kidding himself Of an attack
of insomnia which bafied the skill of
his physician.
Mr.. Hessian is a farmer and is in
the habit of retiring very early. 1t
was in April, 1908, that he found he
could no longer get the sleep that
he needed to fit him for his days
duties.
Il would turn from one side to an.
other in bed" says Mr.. Hessian. but
l could not get over fifteen minutes
sleep before l was awake again, and
when / got up in the morning | was
more tired than when / went to bed
at night. / consulted a physician, who
said had insomnia. He prescribed
for me but his medicine did me no
good and l began to feel that l would
have to give up work altogether.

state and utterly discouraged, ]

take up my work with my old time
