pose of obtaining liquors can be

as follows:

sent that he is of age for the
purpose of asking or receiving
any strong, >pirituous or malt
liquors from any keeper of any

except in cases authorized by
law, shall be punished by a fine
of not less than 81 nor more
than SIS. or by Imprisonment in

days or by such fine and i'm
priSOnment.

Beware of Ofntments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de-
range the whole system when en-
tering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, O.. contains no mer-
curry, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying
Halls catarrh cure be sure and get
the genuine. 1t is taken internally
and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J.

FINE GRAIN COMING TO The
DODGE CITY MARKET.
TEST HIGH AS s. POUNDS,
Fifteen Bushels Per Acre South
west Of Town.

The 1907 wheat crop Is pouring into
the Dodge City market now, good wheat
too, a lot Of it testing 63 pounds. The
most Of 1t at present is coming from
southwest of town, and tie yield is from
l2 to Is bushels to the acre. This, of
course is a light yield in county which
expects to get from 20 to 20 bushels per
acre, but 1t is Of fine qrality, and 1t has
been selling from the threshIng machine
for 70 cents a bnshel so that 1t Is pretty
paying crop after all.
A great many who thought that the
frost had entirely killed their wheat, are
getting a pretty fair crop. The general
impression is now that although the late
frost did great damage, still with the in
creased acreage, Ford county will have
one Of her biggest crops OF wheat.
Mr.. Orebaugh threshed the crop from
70 acres last week. and had an average
of 10 bushels. Frank Lopp has been
marketing his crop this week and esti-
mates the average from II to Is bushels,
and Is testing SO pounds. There are
places in the county where the frost left
very little wheat, but taking the county
as whole there I, fine lot Of grain to
show for the 1907 wheat crop and as
the late frost Is something that has been
unknown heretofore and Is not likely to
occur again, there is nothing to discour-
age increacing the wheat acreage fol
next year.
There is some fine corn over the
county, and feed Of all kinds in abuud'
ance Taken all around Ford county II
In better shape than most OF the othe
counties in Kansas.

It is only three weeks now to the date
OF the big reunion, when the greatest
crowd that has ever attended one Of these
annual meetings is expected to be in

work to do yet to make the meeting the
success that it should be One feature
that has been planned, or mentioned, is a
great parade for Cannon day, In celebra-
tion Of the presence of the Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives. The idea has
been to thoroughly organize the Illinois
settlers Of this county. and TO take in all
others who come from other counties. 1t
will take considerable work to do this,
enough to occupy all the time from now
on until the date of the parade, which
will be Saturday. Aug. 10. A meeting for
this organization ought to be called at once

to get the names Of all Illinois settlers
The main thing 10 do is to have the
Illinois people on hands Saturday mern-
ING 10 time to form for the parade, and
the Illinois crowd should be only the
special escort Of Speaker Cannon and
should be followed by the whole town
and county. This parade can be made
one Of the impressive features OF the re-
union.
The newspapers over the district have
kindly been advertising the big reunion
and all of them prophecy large attend
ance. Each individual In the county can
assist in securing an attendance. Every
one who induces one person to come
Will be given valuable assistance.
The matter of looking after people
after they gethere should be given care
full attention. It should be seen that no
one is charged excessive prices for rooms
or board. because no "hold-up" town
can secure large crowds for any length
of time. This has always been looked
after pretty well in Dodge City, and as
long as thisis done we can secure Big
crowds at our meeting.
