About Piano Contests.

| "A lew uhyb HkO tnc OLObm- hErUbLA-
CAN was'asked "why don't you put on
piano contest, and show some enterprise?'
There are several reasons, and since
the above question has been asked, and
may be asked again, we will undertake
to give some of them.
In beginning. 1t should be understood
that the GLOBE REPUBLICAN is not try ing
to censure other papers which do handle,
or are handling piano contests. We are
merely giving our reasons for not
handling them.
In the first place we would be expected
to ring a bell and proclaim that we had
money to burn, and would burn some Of
It by giving $500 piano away to one OF
our readers. This would be misrepre-
sentation. The fact would be that we
had arranged to stand as figure head for
some .promoter' from out Of town. He
furnishes the piano to the newspaper
free of charge, for the privilege of
getting in his graft on the merchants and
readers.
The promoters have different methods
Of shearing people.
The pianos used In contests In western
and southern Kansas have not cost the
newspapers one cent.
SO you see we would have to start out
by misrepresentiDg.
Then we would have to follow up with
series of deceptions which would, to
say the least, be very distasteful to this
paper.
We would have to pick out the names
Of young ladies from the best families
over the county and pretend that they
had all been nominated. II the contest
was to be successful by obtaining solicit
ors, we would have to figure on these
young ladies madly jumping upon horses
and touring the county asking for busi-
ness for this paper in order that each
might prove herself to be the most pop
ular young lady in the county. 1t would
be extremely ridiculous for us to suppose
that our young ladies would do this.
Those who have handled piano contests
have found that to keep the contest alive
1t must be kept close. In the majority
Of piano contests the ballot box is stuffed
to keep up the excitement.
''In sparsely settled county like
Ford" we were told by one of these
promoters, "you must depend upon the
last week for your big money. Keep'em
along even until about the time limit, and
then stop the count until the contest is
ended.''
Here is the method by which the ''pro.
moter" told us the "killiDg" must be
made.
"The parents Of these girl contestants
are people who have money. The con.
test is about done. Some old fellow or
young fellow agures out that 5000,
would easily win the contest without
doubt. He figures that he can get his
girl a $400 piano for 5000 and decides
that he will just 90 against it. There'll
be from six to dozen others just as big
fools as he," explained the promoter,
sand the result is that you'll get a jack
pot of from $1,000 to s25OO easy money
at the wind up Of the contest"
Some of these contests have been
money makers. A newspaper in south.
ern Kansas made $500 on one contest
and the promoter who bought the plano
and planned the contest cleared up $1,000.
Besides the skin game feature, there is
a good deal Of sentiment tied up in one
Of these contests If the people really enter
nto 1t seriously. If the contestant

ANotable Reunion.

The homo OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Diehl was the scene, last week, Of fam
lily reunion, which Is perhaps unprece-
dented In this part of the country.
Their children, ten in number, were al
home together for the first time. The
elder children left home before the
youngest daughter, Irene, was born, and
while they have frequently visited their
parents, have, as stated above, never all
been at home at once.
In their travels, the brothers and sis
ters have at lines been separated by
$4,000 miles Of land and sea, and 1t Is
possible that when the different mem,
bcrs of tie family depart for their re-
spectlvs homes, this reunion will stand
not only as the first, but also the last one
they will ever be privileged to enjoy.
Mrs. Florence Lancaster, the eldest Of
the children, lives at Memphis, Teunes
see. George Diehl, who served three
years In Cuba during the Spanish Amer.
lean war. is now located at Pueblo, Colo.
RADIO. Robert Diehl makes bis home al
Spokane. Washington. He also served
during the Spanish American war in the
Philippines. Mrs. Hattie Lobach, Miss
Effie and Bert Delhl all live In Pennsyl-
vania. The remaining four children,
Misses Maude, Belle, Mary, and Irene,
live with their parents here. .-Spearville

The Larned-Dodge City ball game on
last Friday resulted In victory for the
visitors. The Dodge City team has not
been keeping up an organization. When
the Larned boys arrived team was
picked up from among the boys who had
not been practicing, and the only pitcher
to be found was Bert Eatinger who had
just returned from wedding trip. The
visitors got busy and won the game Z to
4. Even the Dodge City boys can not
play winning ball without practice. The
Ashland team will be here in the near
future and the Dodge boys will have to
do some preliminary work If they expect
to not lose another game.

WHEAT CROP IMMENSE.
A Probable Gain Of More Than Ten
Per Cent Over 1904.

~ Wheat harvesting in eastern Wash
ington has progressed far enough to
Il enable railroad men who keep in
close touch with the crop statistics
to form nearly, il not absolutely ac-
curate estimates of the probable
yield for 1905.
+ Joseph McCabe. vice president and
\ general manager of the Washington
4 Columbia River Railroad company,
with headquarters in Walla Walla.
said to reporter for the Seattle
Zines few days ago that undoubt-
eddy this year would see the great est
grain crop in the entire history of
the state. Mr.. McCabe believes that
the crop will nearly reach 10000 900
1. bushels in eastern Washington Es-
Inmates for last year, made by we'll
informed observers, placed the crop
at 100000 bushels in round fig
nres. Mr.. McCabe, whose position
gives him especial opportunities to
make careful and comprehensive es-
Inmates, says that there is every rea-
SON to believe that the crop of 1906
will show gain in yield over last
year Of from 10 to 2R per cent.
On this nguring, it is evident that
>. the state will be richer by between
$18.O00,000 and 500 900 900 as a re-
suit of the wheat crop for 1906 alone.
This is based on the present price of
wheat.

CAUSE OF A CONDITION.
People Do Not Buy Goods Except
Upon Solicitation.

Merchants in a certain northwest
ern town have discovered that one
third of the money orders which GO
through their local postof1ce are
sent to retail mail order houses, says
the Minneapolis Bulletin and Trade.
On the other hand there are many
towns where little il any money is
sent to mail order houses. Much de-
ponds upon the merchants them
selves. A great deal depends upon
the enterprise of each individual
merchant. A great deal can be &C
complished toward heading on this
mail order business by merchants
working together, and the time Is
here when meeting mail order compe-
tition is case of eternal vigilance.
A good authority puts it just about
right when he says that in meeting
mail order competition, or devising
ways and means to do it the local
merchant should ask himself why
the farmer buys from mail order
houses.
Why does he?
Because the man who writes the
mail order advertising cleverly de-
ceives him into thinking he can buy
goods cheaper than anywhere else.
He bats the hook with some low
prices.
II the farmer is to DE undeceived,
how is the local merchant to get at
It? There is but one way-vigilance,
industry and advertising that give
the figures and as much as possible
the pictures which can be looked over
while the farmer is sitting around
the hearthstone.
1t is easy to theorize on how this
competition should be met, but be-
hind the counter the problem looms
up as one of those everlasting
things which the mercahnt has with
him every day and every hour. He
must combat wrong Impressions by
whatever methods he finds the most
effective. The general verdict among
successful merchants is that good ad-
vertising is one of the best arrows
in the merchants culver.

INDIANS CANNOT BUY WHISKEY
Reservation Agents Instructed to En-
force State Laws Rigidly.

The commissioner of Indian affairs
has written letters to all the Indian
agents in Washington instructing
them to see that the penalties of the
state law in reference to the sale of
liquors to Indians be enforced.
AS result of a recent decision of
the United States Supreme court, de-
claring that allotted Indians are cit
liens, it has been apparently inferred
by some of the saloon men as well
as Indians that there is no law pro-
hibiting the sale of Intoxicating IL
quors to such Indians.
In letter to the attOrney-general,
Charles M. Buchanan, superintendent
of the Tulalip Indian reservation,
quotes from letter from the acting
commissioner of Indian affairs, as
follows
LAS the allotted Indians are now
declared to be citizens In the full
meaning of the term, and are sub
ject to the laws OF the state in which
they reside, and seem to be anxious
to enjoy all the rights and privileges
of citizenship, you will see that they
endure the penalties of the law as
well. and that the statute prohibit
ing the sale of liquors to indians is
enforced.
In the letter received by the at
tOrney general the section of the
penal code of this state making 1t a
misdemeanOr to sell or give liquor
to Indians is quoted, and Mr. Blu
chanan asks for information as to
the method of enforcing such laws.
The attorney general will advise him
to confer with prosecuting attorneys
of the counties where violations oc-
cur. and arrange for the swearing out
of warrants or informations against

JeffersOn's Prayer and Poultice,

The late Joseph Jefferson was once
taken suddenly i'll while visiting at
the home OF a friend. The wife OF
the gentleman whose hospitality he
had enjoyed became alarmed over
his condition, and being of a relig-
ious turn of mind, wished to instill
in the mind of the actor her belief in
the necessity for spiritual contempla-
ton. A call to his room for the pur-
pose of applying a poulltice gave her
the desired opportunity.
Mr.. Jefferson" she said, nervous
ly, shifting the poultice from one
hand to the other, "for your sake.
for the sake of your family, for the
sake of your friends, II would like
to pray for you"
The actor listened attentively, and
his answer came slowly. Eyes, mad
am he said, you may-for my
sake. for your sake, for everybody
sake--but for heavens sake, put on
that poultice.
