Hoe AND SHEEP MEH OF BKooRlNcs
COUNT AND BROTHER FARMERS:
At last everything seems e point
towards Bookings county having one
OF the best county fairs ever held IN
the county If GOT in the state. Opera
tons are being rushed t. the limit on
the new grounds. The track j. nearly
graded, much fencing has been erected,
the old buildings will be moved and
located this week, and everything Is
humming and hustling on the new
site. Plenty OF shedding and pens for
cattle, horses, hogs and sheep are to
be erected SO that everything Will be
we'll housed.
Now, brother farmers, it is up 10 Us
to be a big part in making this fair a
grand success. The management car
provide the grounds and equipment
but the farmer must furnish the real
show. Boys, let us show the manage
ment that We can do our part toward a
successful county fair. Now don't say
you haven't anything fitted and it is
too late to tit it. Remember everybody
is Just like you, because nobody knew
till four weeks ago that We were to
have a county fair, hence everybody is
shy on fitted stuff.
] will guess that at lea,; One-tourth
OF the farmers in Brookings county
have some head OF live stock Oh which
they are Justly proud, and II i in
pretty good show condition already.
1t may be a brood mare, a young stall
lion colt, a brood mare and colt, a fine
bull calf, a nice heller calf, a grand
brood SOW and litter, a nice pen OF
lambs, a grand eve and twin lambs.
1t don't matter what YOU bring pro
vided you yourself think it a little
better than your neighbors. 1t Will &c
us all good even if We don't take away
q premium. Comparisons Will shO"
US where we err, and having some
thing on exhibition will cause one tC
hunt out his mistakes and t. steel
clear Of them next time,
Now just a word to hog and sheer
men in particular, Boys you all know
my motto is ''make a winner OF every
undertaking." Now the fair a,socia,
ton has seen tit to place me as super
intendent Of the sheep and hog depart
ment, which position | reluctantly &c
cepted. ! would like to see TINS de
and brother farmers, ! can do nothing
without your aid. | believe You vii
stand by me. Let Us see II We canu0
put up Just a little better show tina!
any other department. Don't say you
are toe busy or that you haven't any
thing good enough, but ju,t get righ
after what you nave got that is good
and make it Just as good a, possible
and then bring it to the fair, Let u
make this fair the stepping stone to
better acquaintance with our neigh
bors, better live stock, better farming
better men and women, and better an
happier boys and girls. Please dro.
me a card at once, stating what yOr
will bring, and | will see that ampl
pens and ,pace are provided for all.
Yours for a successful fair,

Why Baby's Food
Disagrees

An unnatural food is almost certain to
disagree with baby.
Did YOU ever hear a afV mother, who
was nMSNg her baby, say tha, baby's
food did not agree with him?
Almost Ns,e,.
Mothers milk is natures food.
Sanipure Milk is natures substitute
for mothers milk. 1t contains the same
things mothers milk does-in almost the
same quantities, is more n~earlylike moth
er's milk than any other infants food.
Cows milk forms hard, lumpy curds
in the baby'S stomach-that is why foods
mixed with unchanged COWS milk do
not agree with baby.
Sanipure Milk is cows milk with the
MnLS left out. The formula is on every

Enterprise Kas, Makes its Business
Section Kind Of Club-Colored
Electric Lamps at Intervals OF
Six Feet, Weekly Concerts
Benches and No Joints
Increase Trade and
Contentment.

Enterprise, Kas., Sept. 11.-This is
the best lighted town In Kansas, sc
far as its main business street is con.
cerned. Coming into ii at night is like
stepping into street carnival. Along
both sides Of the main street are
strung lines Of electric light wires
with lamps at intervals Of six feet,
some OF them being red and blue Civ
ing to the street light like day and
proving exceedingly attractive.
sit is business proposition with
us, said a merchant. "We tried the
old-fashioned method OF having light
on every corner, but found that the
people did not like to come downtown
in the evening. Then the merchants
agreed to place seats in front of their
stores and we arranged for these lights,
A band was engaged for weekly con-
certs and townspeople were encouraged
to come out and have friendly visit.
That they appreciate IL is shown by
the way they accept our invitation. T"
Every evening it Is the custom to
walk down to the main street and
make friendly visits along the benches
under the lights. There are no joints
In the town and the crowd is happy
and peaceful. On the band concert
nights the farmers families come in
and spend tine evening. 1t has been
q good Investment both in business
way and In the better feeling between
the residents of the town and those OF
the surrounding country.

Snake HINT by Girls.


Miss Edith Knox, Of Garden City, 10
receiving a great many compliments
on her skill with a rifle, but the COM
pliments are not more pleasing than
the fact that she possesses the skill
and was able to use 1t In time Of dan
ger. The occasion Of the compliment
vas the killing of two large rattle
snakes with a 22-caliber rife.
Misses Babe and Edith Knox drove
to the Knox ranch In the sand hills
and after tying their team at the
road started across the pasture to see
the cattle. They took a small rife
with them, thinking they might see
some small game, but the game they
found was larger. On the way across
the field they saw two large .assle-
snakes. The young ladies made the
discovery when they were some dis
tancs from the rattlers and Miss
Edith, who carried the rifle, had q
chance to demonstrate.her skill. She
took aim at the head Of the largest
of the snakes and brought 1t low at
first shot. The other reptile was
also In range and another shot sent
him in the wake Of the other.
The largest Of the snakes was sew
errl feet in length and 1t had six rat
ties. The other was over three feet
long and it had five rattles.
The young women brought the
snakes home as trophies Of an excit-
ing experience.

The State Highway.

A subscriber asked the Leader who
isgoing to pay for the talked OF across
the state rock roads
Why the people of course.
The law Of 1905 makes the following
provisions for building roads: The
taxpayers Of any proposed district
may petition the county court for
organization under this road law into
a road district giving boundaries and
the total number Of acres In the pro-
posed district. The county court is
then empowered to issue an order for
a temporary organization and shall
appoint three commissioners to assess
the benefits to accrue to the la nd.
This shall be done with reference of
the location OF the land to the road.
The land adjoining should Of course
pay more than the land at O distance.
After the commissioners make their
report to the court after the temporary
organization is effected, the court
will then submit to the voters the
proposition of fixing the tax rates
and submit all three plans for raising
the money. 1t shall specify whether
the money shall be raised at once, by
district taxation which shall be with
10 year, Of whether bonds shall be
issued payable In five or twenty years
and to provide sinking fund to pay
the bonds and the interest,
The court shall advertise the special
election and the propositions submit
ted and the real estate owners have
the right to vote according to the
amount of land they own. They may
cast one vote for each acre Of land
they own within the district. For in
stance, the man who owns eighty
acres gets eighty votes. II majority
votes for either proposition then the
sameshall be declared carried and the
assessment win be levied according to
the benefits fixed by the commission
ers.
However, il the majority Of votes
are against all the propositions, the
court shall pay the costs out Of the
road fund OF the county and the dis
trict shall be dissolved and the pro-
ceedings stopped and they cannot
vote again on 1t for two years.

THE enemies OF Governor Folk are
very much exercised for fear that OF
the three or four hundred policemen
to be appointed in Sc. Louis some OF
them might be Folk men. Friends OF
Governor Folk can't understand how
three or four hundred men tit to be
policemen could be secured without
getting some Folk men. Those who
are bowling about this matter would
be perfectly satisfied II all Of the po-
llcemen chosen whether they are tit
for duty or not, should be opposed to
Governor Folk for any office the peo-
Pile might want him elected to. Gov
ernor Folks record shows clearly that
be wants men appointed to public Of
fee who will do their duty, regardless
Of their feeling toward any candidate
for any office.

Mr.. Hit was shot through the left

may have involved his heart These
cases offer difficult set Of conditions

He has done exceedingly well so far,
but it will be q full ten days before

going to be as well as 1t appears. He
must run chances of pneumonia, and
Infection OF bis heart sac pericardium
He is attended by DR.. J. G. Hepburn,

known men on the south side. The
Doctor has given him every attention.
Hehas private room.

rest, and was skot, the otfense being
selling butterine for butter or some
like that. He seems to be very nice
fellow though, and is most concerned
about his wife and baby.

THERE are host Of petty ailments
i which arc the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive heat
of summer and the intense cold OF win
ter, butts partly true Of all seasons Of
the year.
Whether it bv cold or a cough, ca
tarrh OF the head or bowel complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the kid
neys, the cause is very liable to be the
same.
The weather slightly dcranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result Is some functional disease.
Peruna has become a standby In
thousands of homes for minor aji-
-reHfs OF this SORT.
