PUBLICITY BUREAU DEADsEATs

The Times-Recorder, like every
other daily newspaper. in the state,
has been called upon to do its
full share and more, of gratuitous
advertising, "for the public good"
But already it has called halt on
professional politicians who know
you today and forget you tomor-
row; likewise upon the expositiors,
fairs etc.
It's opinion in this matter is
fully set forth thusly in the AL
bany Herald.
at has come to pass in this day
and time that every enterprise or
new movement, public or private,
that requires publicity, hires a
newspaper man and establishes a
publicity bureau.
"This hired newspaper man is
expected to write up the particu-
lar enterprise that employs him,
and the newspapers of the country
are expected to do the rest for
":the good of the cause"-or, in
any event, free. All the fairs and
expositions held during recent
years have gotten their advertis-
ing free in this way, and the plan
of making a free horse of the press
has become a fixture"
Continuing upon the subject,
Editor Mcintosh adds:
"But we want to say that none
of these publicity bureaus are
getting any of their cleVerly
disguised advertising matter into
the columns of The Herald.
When this stuff reaches this
office it is promptly consigned
to the waste basket, and the time
is coming when all news
papers will haveto adopt this policy
or give over large percentage of
what should be their legitimate
advertising patronage to these
publicity bureau deadbeats."

NO DECREASE IN THE DEMAND

In spite of the wide publicity of
the packing-hou scandals, the
sales of Chicago packing houses
for the first seven months of this
year were larger than Iyear ago,
and much larger than the year
before. During July the ship
ments of meats from Chicago were
over 100000 pounds heavier
than during July last year. There
has been decrease in the sale of
canned goods, but the demand for
dressed meats especially in the
South has been large. The cotton
country has money, and when it
has money it eats lots of meat,
though it raises very little.

CONTEST NOTICE


First Fabrication Oct. 25)
Department of the Interior United States
Land Office.
Dodge City. Kafs, Oct goth 1906.
A sufficient contest affidavit having been
hled in this Office by John Saulter, contestant.
against Homestead entry No. 22557, made
February 2eth, 1904, for the Southeast
quarter OF Section il, Township 81 South,
Range 20 West, by John Mork, con
testee, in which it is alleged that the said
John Mork has wholly abandoned said tract,
that he has changed his residence therefrom
for more than SIX months since making said
entry; that said tract is not settled upon and
cultivated as required by law; that these de-
faults continue to date and are not caused by
the services of the Contestee in the Army or
Navy of the United States.
Said parties are hereby notified to appear,
respond and offer evidence touching said al
legation at 10 O'Clock a. n. on Dec. l., 1906
before the Clerk of the District Court of
Meade county Kansas, at his Office in Meade
Kansas and that final hearing will be held at
10 o clock a. m. on Dec. ), 1906 before the

The said contestant having, in proper af-

A. 5. Reeves Chances.

Should one be able to judge the
entire district by Ford county II
would appear that A. B. Reeves
would be elected judge by an over
whelmning majority. 1t Is pretty
certain that if he were known over
the entire district as he is here there
would be no doubt as to the size of
his majority when the returns are
all in. His conduct during his long
residence here has been such as to
commend him to all parties for this
Office. Heis prominently a peace
maker for he has discouraged litiga-
tions and he has stopped scores of
ruinous law suits by efecting com
promises when he could have made
money by the opposite course. AS
a lawyer he ranks among the leading
men of western Kansas and his abili-
ty is known not only here but all
over the state
Senator Harris, nominee for gov
ernor, placed him on the executive
committee above every man in the
seventh district because he knows
that Reeves stands for clean politics
Not only does he enjoy the con-
fdence of Harris but he is on conf
dental terms with Governor Folk,
of Missouri.
He is not in any sense of the term
a "yellow dog" democrat but has
often pursued an independent course
and stood for good republican in
preference to bad democrat.
To those who know him it is not
strange that his candidacy meets
with such favor by republicans as.
well as democrats. He is pre-
of a judicial temperament
and no man who knows him at all
well doubts either his ability or in
tegrity. That he will carry this
county by a remarkable majoity no
man doubts who knows anything
about the situation. That he will
be elected ought to be equally sure.

Kindly let US know if the sale OF
intoxicating liquors is prohibited in

November.

a cold grey mist that bites one to the bone,
grey goose honking southwark quite alone,
The last one, 10th to leave the frozen north;
When 10! from out the mist the sun peeks
forth
And all arrayed in gold the autumn stands
With golden-rod and asters in her hand.
A cold wind wet with hints of snow,
The sluggish stream too fulEof leaves to flow;
October's red has changed to sober brown;
In serried ranks the leaves have drifted down
The dead leaves rustic to the rabbits tread
Where over the robin sang the Bob White
pipes instead.
Along the stream round many curve and
twist
hunter silhouetted through the mist,
His brown duck coat as dreary as the day;
While just ahead the bird dog trails away,
He stops and stands with one foot raised;
a gun barks thickly; It's November days.
