premiums offered by the Barton

classes mentioned almost as high
as 9re offered at the state fair at
Hutchinson. and there is now no
excuse for anyone not coming in
with their stock. on the strength
OF the premiums being insufficient.
his is a move on the part of the
fair people that should meet with
the commentator of everybody
interested in Barton county, and
the appreciation of the move
should be shown by increased ex-
hibits of stock. and an increased
attendance of persons interested
IN stock at the fair. 1t means

A Grusssns Find H,ds By Bsys

Thursday afternoon as Cameron
Dawson. a son of j. W. Dawson,
and another boy BY the name Of
Dimon, were swimming above the
bridge in the Arkansas river, they
noticed something coming down
the river that looked like a cocoa.
nut. The boys ran down to the
bridge and as the object came un-
der the bridge Dawson said that
is person. Young Dimon jump
ed into the river where the cur
rent is strong and struck out for
the object which proved to be a
child about two years old as near
as be could tell. He caught hold
of the dress of the child but it
slipped away from him, he tried
again but failed to catch hold of
the body and gave up either
through fear o { the body or the
water that is pretty swift at this
point. The Dimon boy says that
the body must have been in the
water some time as there was a
fearful stencil arising from it.
As soon as the boys could get out
and dressed they made for home
very badly scared and one of them
at least sick. They did not say
anything about it except to their
own folks until Friday morning.
The bows are about fifteen years
old, and could hardly have been
mistaken. in what they saw, at the
same time we have seen no report
from anywhere west of here that
child had been lost. What
effort was made to verify the
story by our officers, we are IN.
able to say at this time. 1t oc.
ours to us that it should be looked
uD,if there is a body of a chi Id
floating down the river, it should
be secured and properly inferred.

President of the Kansas State

clear, logical address on organiza.

support from the members in or

organization and maintain it. He
made it plain to those who heard
him that it was their DUTY to 10y

He also impressed his bearers

astray by individuals who try to
dictate the action of those chosen
to lead. He cautioned them also
against those who are hired to
work up strife and dissention in
the Farmers Union ranks. He
told them to waste no time in
personal differences: to be lenient
with each other: push forward
our great cause by building and
establishing our own market facil.
tiles; operate them and cooperate
with those who are working to
advance the all important princi
