Mr.. TRACER while in the city bought a
large stock of goods for the fall and WIN
ter trade, which he is now opening up.
There seems to be a growing tendency
among the people to cuss just little
about the school books and we are not
blaming them, II the people are COM
PEELED by law to change the books the
law should 60 far enough to compel the
parties that furnish the books to have
them on hand ready for distribution when
called for. Some of our schools are well
into the second month and they are not
nearly supplied with books yet. We
really think that the people have kick
coming on the way this school book
business In handled.
Our sister town of Ford is to have a
bank In the near future, with S. ID. Aulls
of Bucklin president, and W. A. Lonker
of Coldwater, cashier. The majority OF
the stockholders and directors are resi-
dents of Ford county and have been for
many years, and know her people, their
needs and their resources. and will be
able to serve them better from the start
ing of the bank than strangers could do
Ford is to be congratulated on getting
this bank, controlled by people whom
they know, and who are SO well acquaint'
ed with the banking business.
In the case of the boy who was ser
from here to the juvenile court at Dodge
City, he was brought before that court
last Friday and pleaded guilty to the
charge, which was serious one, and wal
sentenced to term In the reform school
The sente nee was suspended and he wa'
turned loose on his good behavior, witt
orders to report to the probation office
every sixty days. We have heard o.
very few cases where this kind of treat
ment has proved good, but In the ma
jorlty Of the cases the effect Ia just the 9th
er way. 1t creates contempt for tn
law and the courts of justice in the mini
of the criminal and his boon compan
ions. We hope that this case will worl
for the benefit of the boy and the man
other boys of our town with whom h
associates.
