'' There has been an item going
the rounds of the papers for some
days past about a man named
Crow at Hutchinson who had
taken so many first premiums at
poultry shows this fall, and in
cluded Great Bend in the list of
shows he had beaten. That may
be all right, but the Barton
County Poultry Association has
not held its annual show at Great
Bend for: this. year yet. The
dates are December..l0 to Is, in
elusive, and if Mr. Crow wants
to get any first premiums in Great
Bend he will have to enter his
birds and come on through. We
will have to be shown. :

There was a case before the
Juvenile court this morning held
by Judge Torrey to investigate
the case of Dewey Murphy, a boy
of Hoi iington, who was said to be
delinquent, and without proper
parental care. His mother is
dead, and he has been living with
his father, Frank Murphy. at
Hoisington. The evidence tended
to show that the father drank a
good deal at times. and at such
times had abused and mistreated
the boy. The court decided to
turn the child over to the pro-
bationary officers until such time
as some final disposition of the
case could be made. The evidence
showed that the man and boy had
been living in a dug-out or cave.
and a small tent in Hoisington.
Sheriff Dalziell took charge of
she boy until the case can be dis
posed of.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Every-
thing is ready here for the oDen-
ing of the second session of the
59th congress Monday. There is
a strong probability that the river

sixty million dollars. will pass.
The only opposition will be in the
senate. which will demand a ship
subsidy bill. and will stand or fall
on that proposition with the har-
Dor measure.

We understand there is some
opposition to the library PROPOSE
ton, We had hoped that this
wouldbe one thing on which all
the peoole of the city could unite.
We hope that those who are
now inclined to be AGAINST it, will
on reflection and deliberate inves-
tigation change their opinion, and
assist in clinching the deal for a
library. Surely the additional
expense involved will add so lit
tie to the taxes of each person,
under the limit that,'can be levied
for the same. as to be a mere
bagatelle. O.

How Is This?

We have reasons to know that
Tom McNeal beat US for state print.
er, but what We can't understand is
why in giving the majorities on the
state ticket he is given a showing Of
49,629, when the difference in the
vote received is only 99,629. Are
the boys IN Topeka trying to rub it
in on US, or are they trying to make
campaign thunder for him. 1t really
makes no difference, but Somebod,
can't subtract. To tell the trurh we
expected to be by far the lowest man
on the ticket, but the vote has not
shown it Perhaps our friends are
trying to realize our expectations.

Dear Sir: YOU'D strike..it rich
if you could find a way to. shave
your customers in less time, for
less cost, and make the shave last
twice or three times as many.
You wouldn't shave the same
person SO many times, or get
so much of his money. but the
whole town would be. talking
about you, and everybody. would
come to you for a shave.
Devoe lead-and zinc is exactly
that" in paints. 1t takes fewer
gallons and it wears longer.
Costs less for the job, and you
don't have to do it again for years
and years-six,,years..at least.
Fewer gallons; wears longer"
Takes fewer gallons to paint a
house with Devoe lead-and- zinc
than with mixed paints; and it
wears longer than mixed paints or
lead and oil.
