There was a ball scheduled for
Tuesday evening which will likely
be a grand success, provided the
ground hog doesn't interfere.
Owing to the action of the
grounding, our dislike of ventur-
ing out this cold weather in quest
of the evading lem, and our nat
ural tendency towards laziness
our writeup is necessarily rather
short this week. However such a
dearth and shortage of news may
be an incentive to someone to get
married or do something other
wise newsy, and thus give us a
NUCLEUS to work on. Our imagi-
nation is very dwarfed, which is
unnecessary to mention, and we
are therefore not capable of any
very vivid mind pictures, yet
we have done our best with the
material at hand, which is all even
the angels would do.

FOR A CIVIC LEAGUE.
To the Farmers, Merchants and Ship
peFS OF Barton County.

You have all read of the
meeting at Wichita on the 10th of
Jsnuaryof the Farmers, Merch-
ants and Shippers of the State at
which time a nonpartizan organi-
zation known as the Civic League
of Kansas was formed to fight for
a Square Deal on freight rates
from the Railroads of Kansas.
Under the present rates on
wheat to the Gulf it costs the
grain grower of Barton county 8
cents per bushel more to reach the
Gulf port with his wheat than it
does the GRAN grower at the Mis-
souri, River, although Barton
county is at least $50 miles nearer
Galveston, the principal port of
the south, than is the Missouri
River grain grower. Every man
) whether he be Republican, Dem
socrat or Populist is vitality inter
ested in this movement for the
organization of this Civic League,
wherein VIC, BY organized efort
bring to bear all the power of the
state to secure q square deal on
freight rates and especially this
outrageous discrimination in the
grain rate.
Surrounding counties are now
organizing branches of this Civic
League, and it is believed by the
committee that the farmers, ship
pers and voters generally of Bar
ton county are equally Interested.
Feeling assured of this, and that
you are ready to organize, a meet
ing is called to meet at Great
. Bend on Wednesday February 18th
at II 90 a. m. in the Court House,
for.the purpose of organizing q
branch of the Civic League for
Barton county, adopting Con-
&itution and By Laws, and such
oother matters as are required for
conduct Of League.
Q Hon. Carr W. Taylor, the able
and fearless young attorney for
the Board of Railroad Commits
, sioners, will be present and ad-
dress the meeting He will tell
you of the diff culties under which
he. has labored in his fight for
q lower rates for Kansas, and of the
necessity for organization among
the people to secure representa-
. tion in the Offices that have to do
with the control of freight rates.
Judge Ansel R. Clark of Rice
county will also be present and
: address the meeting.
Farmers, this discrimination in
the grain rate hurts you more
than anyone.
If you raise 1000 bushels of
wheat to ship the Railroads make
you pay $4,000 more to take it to
. Galveston than you should pay in
all justice and fairness. That
would pay your taxes each year
and other expenses, as the larger
farmer who pays more taxes would
nise more wheat to ship, and the
unjust tribute the Railroads exact
from him be that much greater.
Figure how much this would
amount to in the years you have
been growing grain. and you will
be astounded and angered to see
that this amount. if you had been
allowed to keep and bank it in
you're own name, would now
amount to a competence which
would insuresyour comfort for the
declining years Of s ss1 !:s,
Will you stand it longer with
