reported. one would think it to
have been a very fair game. But
it was nothing of the kind. Don't
know Just why. but it seemed to
the spectators that the home team
played without any judgment at
all. An error by Barngroyer. a
substitute in the first inning. and
one by Putnam. started our team
Of wrong, and they never got
back into line. Too bad. Thor
stenberg pitched good game,
and Harrison caught equally a,
we'll. One place we're those who
understand the game better thar
we do say our folks are weak, is
at the bat, both in hitting and in
judgement. A batter would get
onto the bases, and then the next
man up instead of working the
pitcher so the base runner could
get in a little work. would strike
at the first ball thrown. no matter
what it looked like. In one in
ming the Larned pitcher threw
two balls. to two different batters,
and both made an out. The
Great Benders seem to try to
make it as easy for the box on the
other side as they could. This
same aggregation has played good
ball. They played a better game
early in the season then they do
now. We don't know what is the
matter. Something sure. One
crumb of comfort for the home
folks was that Bevis. the star
player of the Kinsley team, espe.
cially as batter and base runner,
famed twice. and failed to score
at any time. 1t is not our inte n.

Land department U. S. Sugar
Land Co., of Garden City was
here, Monday and insecDted our
beet fields, accompanied by DC.
Lusr and D. W Dawson. He ex-
pressed himself as being surprised
at our first trial of raising beets.
He says we have the necessary
soil to raise beets that will make
as much sugar as any other coun-
ty. That the amount of tons to
the acre is a verv great surprise
and that there is no doubt that
some of our crop will make thirty
tons to the acre. But that we
must weed better and cultivate
more 20 get the very best results.
Mr.. Turner will probably write
US a letter in regard to what be
saw here in few days. We are
satisfied that We shall have sugar
mills here in the very near future.
The folks living in the west end
of the county, and in east Rush

turn out enmasse the day the Gar.

which will be Friday the 18th.
This is not Lawson's Friday the
18th, but the last day of the coun
ty fair, and will be Just as good a,
any other day of the fair.

would mean quick store suicide.
The modern store-spirit reverses

Look over the ads. today.
You will decide that while they

THE BECK SHOW.
More Wild Stuff Than Ever Heard Of
Before, Coming to the Fair.

As previously announced, K.
c. Becd & Co., collecting natura.
lists. of Nlckerson, will be on the
fair grounds this year with their
collection of wild fowls. or what
is by some people called their
spo-tsmens show.
Mr.. Beck is we'll known to
Great Benders as a thorough bred
chicken fancier, but it is not
generally known that in addition
thereto, he is one Of the most ex.
tensive dealers in wild game in
the United States. He sold tn,
state of Kansas over 5000 pheas.
ants, 1000 of which he imported
in one lot from England, and in
addition has handled several
thousand other wild birds, mostly
wild ducks in season.
This year he is putting on an
exhibition of his stock. which is
making a great hit wherever he
goes.
His collection of pheasants is
one of the most complete in the
country, including the golden,
conceded BY many to be the hand
soonest bird known. He also has
the Lady Amherst. Silver, English
japanese, Elliott, Swinehr, and
the cared pheasa 1T from Manchur-
ia, which is a very rare bird.
there being less than a dozen of
them in the United States.
His list of water fowls includes
white and black swan. ten varie.
ties of geese, and thirty varieties
of ducks, both natives and foreig-
ners. He also carries a large
number of parrots of different
varieties, besides many other rare
and interesting birds and animas.
The water fowls are shown on a
miniature lake, giving them their
natural appearance. and all other
specimens are shown in large
cages, making it a high class at
traction, which will be very de-
sirable and valuable feature of
the Barton County Fair.

desire that my last official act shall
be a tribute to your loyalty to me un-
der most trying circumstances. Had
your strength of character been less,
the bonds of our boyhood friendship
would long since have been dissolved.
But no matter how strained no matter
what calumnies, no matter what sac
rifces it has required of you, your 10y.
atty has never waivered, and let the
future bring what it may this must
ever be a pleasant memory and a
source of qualification to us both.
"And now as we make way for 9TH
ers, can best express your thoughts
and mine by this, that we hope those
who succeed us will accomplish more
for the land we love and will develop
a capacity for devotion to public SER
vice deeper and stronger than ours, SO
that Hawaii will ever find men, honest
and faithful, ready to serve her"

THE conclusion of the whole mat.
ter is that setting aside all meanness
of spirit we should one and all pro-
coed, with faith in the possibilities OF
high purposes, right methods and per-
sistent and united effort, to the grand
task of building up our fair Territory
to the utmost in every possible way
Then will her political, social and in
dustrial life be in harmony with the
purity, beauty and grandeur Of her
azure skies, opal seas and richly
variegated mountains and valleys.

of view Of the individuals.
Today, when relieved of the grave
responsibility Of directing and con-
trolling your affairs, l am glad to be
able to say that my promise, not 10

been kept. l am not conscious OF
having shirked that which appeared to
me to be in the interest of the whole.
no matter how disagreeable or at what
personal cost of comfort or friendship.
To me, the period seems one continued
struggle to accomplish with vivid re-
cognition of the meagerness of the re-
suits.
Our civilization has not yet pro-
duced perfect form OF government for
any community, and slight practical
experience on the part of anyone will
demonstrate that effectiveness is ham,
pered by presidents and restrictions;
that public officials are often Obliged
to adopt an impractical course, lacking
in common sense and extravagant ID
cost, the only other alternative being
to abandon the object sought. 1t has
been well said that a popular form of
government is a most expensive luxury
"If the Territory is to gain by ex-
perience, there are few incidents of
the past which it will be well for the
public to consider calmly, and | can
not feel that l have done my full duty
by you if l do not at this time call your
attention to them and ask you to give
them your close and unbiased study.
