Free Voting Contest

This week we announce the open
ing of our Popular Voting Contest.
The Rules and Regulations govern
ing this contest are given in full.
The News desires that all of our
readers in this and adjoining coun-
ties make themselves familiar with
the working principles of this Great
Free Contest. Every lady who en-
tiers will be treated with exact fair
ness. This contst will benefit this
town and country as whole. 1t is
our belief that it will cause more
new trade to come here than any
other enterprise that has been carried
out in years. Every contestant and
every reader who assists US in make
ing this contest a~big success, helps
to incerase the value of every dol
lars worth of real estate within the
circle reached by this publication.
There is no mystery or secret
about this contest. What we most
desire is to introduce this paper in
to every home. While we already
have fine subscription list, we know
by doubling this list we can give
double value to our many advertis
ing patrons and in this and many
other ways help to build upthis town
and county to the high standard
they should hold in the state. We
want the largest list of readers in
this part of the state and if hustle
and hard work, coupled with horse
sense and a considerable amount of
generosity will get it, we are going
after it. An equal determination on
the part of several young ladies will
make them owners Of the many val
liable prizes without the outlay of a
dollar.
Make arrangements to get interest
ed in this contest early. We believe
that every young lady who enters
and gets ou, and makes an honest
effort to win the first prize, will be a
winner for the effort she puts forth,
whether she gets first prize or not.
We grow by the efforts we put forth.
Work of this kind broadens and
strengthens our character, makes US
self-reliant and equipes US better for
the battles of life.

County attorney Carl Van Ripper
brought an action this week against
the agent of the United States E,-
press company and the Rock Island
Railroad company, for a temporary
injunction to prevent the handling
of c.. o. D. whlskey packages. The
injunction was granted by Judge
Finley, so that the lid is legally ad-
justed and nailed down at that place
at presdnt, and the county attorney
evidently intends that it shall remain
so.
The Wells Fargo company has
notified the county attorney that
their agents will be ordered not to
accept any c. o. d. shipments of
intoxicating liquors, destined for
points in Kansas. this order to go
into effect June 1. County Attorney
Van Ripper has started out to enforce
the prohibitory law to the letter, and
he seems to be equal to the occasion.
A short time ago he caused a large
amount of c. o. D. shipments to be
seized, and later, on order of the
court, had the goods destroyed.
He has been making a study of the
matter and is going TO have some
surprises. awaiting the bootlegglng
business, unless it is absolutely stop
ped in the county. 1t is pretty we'll
understood just what his course will
be, and if any one gets into trouble
in the future it will be the party's
own fault.-Dodge City Globe

Mauv Pastors Have 70 Quit
the Pulpit TO Take Up
Private Life.

Ministers have suffered more than
anyone else from the increased cost
of living, because their salaries have
not increased even as much as the
salaries of laborers in proportion to
the price of foodstuffs.
4 Many of our ministers get less than
$500 per year as salary. Now such
8 salary as this for a man of God to
labor with you and for you twelve
long months is shame and disgrace
to this country. Wake up, church
member, to a sense of your duty!
Pulpits will be found vacant, because
no minister can live at that small sal
ary. Isay break stones if necessary,
but do not let your family suffer.
s A godly number of our so-called
church members seem to think that
ministers can live off of the wind,
whether it blows or not. IF a minister
fulfills his duty he will have some
thing toedo besides plow or hoe. Al
low me to say that there are some
ministers that could make q better
living for their family at heeing and
plowing than they do preaching to
some of the unworthy people. Dear
friends, try to love your pastor better
this incoming year than you did last
year and do more for him.
