From all who pay road tax on or be-
fore June /, the city will accept $3.50
cash and receipt for the full $500. 1t
has been the experience of the city that
the street commissioner can take cash
and employ men and teams and do bet
ter work and more Of II, than he can get
done by using help furnished by persons
who are warned to work. The city
council has decided that It will be
saving both to the city and tax payer
to accept $3.50 In cash from all who de-
sire to pay that way. The street COM
missioner can then work TO better ad-
vantage and 1t will be better plan all
around. Everyone who pays road tax
should take advantage Of the offer. By
SO doing they can save fifty cents each
and at The same time give greater help
towards street work.

THE MARQUETTE STORM
Most Destructive of Any That Has
Ever Visited Kansas.

The hail storm east of here on last
Monday night extended as far west as
Larned from hutchinson. AT Marquett
In Mcpherson county few miles west
of Lindsborg the storm broke into one of
the worst cyclones eyer seen in Kansas
Is formed south Of the village near the
midnight hour taking the people una
wares. Lin Marquette and adjoining
country 81 persons were killed and oyer 40
injured. The path Of the storm was
about 300 feet wide. Coming as 1t did
in the night many were killed who could
have reached places of safety had the
storm occurred in the day time. The
houses in the path Of the storm were
nearly every one completely demolished
and those who escaped with their lives
owe their safety to the peculiar freaks Of
the storm. In one case 1t is reported that
a house In which nine people were sleep.
ing was carried fifty feet from Its founda.
tion and was then put down gently, and
no one within was in any way injured.
At st. John there WAS pretty hard
wind which injured several buildings
and slightly injured two or three persons.
Larned had hard wind and hail storm
and two inches Of rainfall.

The Wichita Eagle says Of MIR. Todd's
promotion; George T. Todd, observer
in charge of the local United States
weather office, received word from the
chief Of the service at Washington, D. G.
yesterday afternoon that he will soon be
sent to Albany, N. Y, where he will
assume the duties Of local forecast official.
This is quite an advancement for Mr..
Todd and was wholly unexpected. 1t
gives him a more important station, with
more work and corresponding increase
in salary. Here his duties have been
confined to making OF reports, the keep
ing of records and taking observations.
The forecast for Wichita and Kansas Is
made up at Washington and Chicago.
At his new station Mr. Todd will COM
pile forecast for Albany and vicinity.
Mr.. Todd will leave for his new location
within short time, possibly in len days.
Mr.. Todd would have been here three
years in October. He has made great
many friends here. who, while rejoicing
over his advancement will be sorry to
think of his leaving Wichita. Yesterday
afternood Mr.. Todd said 1.-THE appoint.
ment came to me entirely unexpected.

Up in Smith Center there is mer-
chant by the name Of Henry Ahlborn.
There are three newspapers In the town
and he is one of their most constant ad-
vertisers. In speaking of his advertising
lately Nr. Ahlborn said that it cost him
Just ten cents on the hundred dollars of
business that he did during the past year,
and he would have considered 1t cheap
II it had cost him dollar ON the hum
dred. AS an example of what his ad-
vertisiDg did for him Mfr. Ahlborn cited
the following "Last fall for one week
only, advertised Farmers Handy wag-
oas at $4,000 equal to any $4,000 wagon.
as a result | sold fifteen Of them In thirty
days, besides cleaning up some old stock
on hand. OrdlnarilyI would have sold
five or six of these wagons, but the ad-
vestisement and the fact that these
wagons were just as represented sold the
bulk Of them, And here ls the point.
Goods must be as represented or all Of
the advertising In the world will not sell
them. 1t may do 1t once but won't do 1t
for keeps" If advertising will accom-
plish such results In country oommu-
nifty, where everybody knows everybody
else, how much more will 1t do In
larger community? The city merchant
has no other way to reach people who do
not pass his store other than by adyer-
tising. The successful modern merchant
realizes that one Of the great secrels of
success is In advertising, and an abun-
dance of 1t. II you have anything
that people want, judIclous advertising
will sell 1t, whereas the public might
never know about 1t II 1t were not ad-
vertlsing.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
Congressman Reeder Says Western
Kansas Don't Need bitches.


Congressman Reeder Says Western
Kansas Don't Need bitches.
Congressman Reeder stated at Topeka
yesterday that in his opinion the gov
eminent irrigation experiment at Garden
City will never be made. ''rhe owners of
the land must contract with the govern
nient 10 take the water" said he, "be-
fore anything will be done by the interior
department, The first provision Of the
law Is that the experiments shall not
cost the government anythlng; the only
way the expense can be met Is by the
farmers contracting to take the water
and the contract is about the same as a
mortgage. The only difference is that,
under mortgage, farmer knows ex-
actly what his Indebtedness Is, while he
doesn't know how much bis water bill
will be-. The farmers will be slow to
sign such contracts and II large per
cent Of them fall to do so the government
will drop the project. We had similar
deal on for Russell county, In my dis.
trict, but the farmers were afraid Of the
contract and the government abandoned
the matter.
"As a matter of fact," continued Nr.
Reeder, "Western Kansas will not be
under ditch until Illinois or Iowa or other
central states are, and they won't be ir.
rigating until it Is necessary to raise
some special crop. Irrigation is not car
ried on In dry sections only. Wet coun-
tries irrlgate, also. For instance, they
irrigate in Florida, where the rainfall Ia
probably greater than In any other state.
They want to produce certain things
there and the rainfall comes at the wrong
time, so they irrigate. They will be do
lug the same thing in Illinois and Iowa
and other central states some time.
"The only crop that needs irrigation
in western Kansas is sugar beets, and ii
will be many years before that crop
amounts to anything. AS long as farmers
can raise wheat and corn profitably they
are not going to fool with sugar beets
1t is easier to produce wheat and corn.
There was a time when we couldn't raise
much wheat and corn In the west bul
that time has passed. We have found
out how to farm that country now. And
the rainfall has changed. 1t used to rain
all In q bunch and then stay dry for 8
long while. We would be flooded one
day and dry the next month, as f1ood
waters soon run off. The clouds would
sail east from the Rocky mountains and
never give mp moisture gradually, bu
would turn 1t all loose In bunch at ont
place. Now we have gentle soaking rains
all over the west. Cloudbursts and floods
no longer trouble us. | don't know wba
has brought about this change unless l
, is the development of the country soutf
OF u.s."
, "The members OF the house and senate
committees on irrigation will make q
tour of the irrigated country this spring
accompanied by their wives. They will
assemble at Kansas City OH June l ant
take In Texas and New Mexico first theI
to to Colorado winding up at Denver OF

Graduating Exercises will be Held at
Opera House May 10.
The Dodge City high school gradual
ing class this year is not strong in nun.
bers, but 1t is particularly fine class.
There will be seven graduates: Gladys
Jones, Grace Gwinner, Lavina Barton,
Cora Leatherwood, Charles Anderson,
William P. Elliott and Howard F. Leim-
brock.
The graduating exercises will be held
In Gluck's opera house, Friday evening,
May 10. The high school chorus and
Beeson's orchestra will assist on the pro-
gram.
AS rule Dodge City people do not
appear to take as much Interest In the
public schools as the average town does.
At every commencement time, however,
1t Is demonstrated that a deep interest
really Is felt In the schools and pupils.
There is no building here large enough
TO accommodate all who would like to
attend the graduating exercises, and
those who secure seats consider them
selves very lucky.

dress. The following is the program

returned from the East and it is ex-
pected that his return will have some
bearing within a day or two upon the

and gone into all the details he would
be ready to treat with the strikers,

The strike situation remains I'M
changed, the railroads refusing to dis
cuss the matter and the strikers as
sorting that they are losing no ground.
Mr.. Perham received a report from

passed that point Saturday and the
same number Friday, whereas the nor

FROM SWEDEN,

Christiania, Aug. 15.-The returns
from the national referendum on the
dissolution of the union with Sweden
show that out of 321,35S votes cast
only ISL are against the dissolution.
The storthing has been summoned
to meet Aug. FL to take the next step
towards the repeal of the act of union
IN agreement with Sweden. One Of
the members Of the cabinet said to
the Associated Press:
The result surpasses the most san
guine expectations. The next official
STEPS will be taken after the storthing
meets on Aug. 21, when the result Of
the plebiscite will be communicated
70 Sweden through the Swedish cab
met and the riksdag The storthing
will repeat the request that the riks-
DAG declare the <riksakt' imperative
and the union dissolved.
The storthing will also express a
willingness to negotiate concerning
the details of dissolution. 1t is the
earnest desire of Norway to conclude
the dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in
other directions. If peace depends
u on abolishing the forts they will be
abolished.
Norway must remain a monarchy;
the people do not desire republic"
