AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.
Board be Enabled to Handle County
Business Monthly Instead Of
Quarterly.

Representative Beeson has introduced
a bill In the Legislature which provides
that the regular meetings Of the board Of
county commissioners shall be on the first
Of each month, instead Of quarterly.
This Is an important measure for Ford
county In many respects. 1t enables the
county to pay its oils monthly instead OF
quarterly, and all accounts can be kept
more accurately and better than under
the old method Of doing business. Mat
tiers Of great importance are presented to
the board at every quarterly meeting, up
on which those most Interested demand
immediate action. But In most of such
Instances the law requires that final ac-
tion by the board be made at the next
regular meeting. In cases Of this charac.
ter, instead OF having delay Of three
months the new law will provide a delay
Of only one month
Under the present system, 1t requires
several months in which to establish and
open new road. The change provided
In Mr.. Beeson's bill obvates all this long
delay In new road procedures. This Is a
g eat advantage In localities where free
rural mall service is sought, for the Coy
eminent will not establish such service
unless 1t be shown that the route to be
traveresed is legally established public
highway.
Few persons realize the necessity and
Importance Of having the best and most
capable business men fill the position of
county commissioner. The board has the
management of the business OF the whole
county Ii must lock 0ut for the future
AS well as for the present, and ito mem.
be-s must necessarily pegIety their own
PERSONA work and affairs occasionally at
times when m0st needed at home. They
get salary Of three dollars day when
working for The people, when in certain
seasons of the year their service sI home
and attention to their own business affairs
would be worth many times this sum.
We should be thankful that In Ford coun-
ty we have been able to get good business
men TO fill these places.

Service Pension Law.

News from Washington states that the
new service pension bill, passed by the
senate and house, has been signed by the
president and is now law and In effect.
TO all houorably discharged soldiers of
the civil war who served ninety DAYS or
more, and 10 all honoraby discharged
soldiers of the Mexican war who served
sixty days or more, pension of Sl2 per
month will be granted AZ the age Of So
years; SIS at the age of 70, and $40 at
the age of 70 years. 1t will be necessary
for any one wishing to take advantage of
this law to make application to the COM
missioner of pensions.
Special blanks for making these ap.
plications have been prepared and doubt
less the congressman from this district, or
the congressman elect, will take pleasure
IN forwarding blank to any old soldier
who will make request of him. As the
new pension will date from the time the
application Is filed, of course the sooner
this Is done the better. Victor Murdock
ls still the congressman from this district
and will be until March A, when be will
be succeeded by Ed II. Madison, of
Dodge City, the congressman elect. A
letter addressed to either of these, with
this item enclosed, doubtless will bring
the desired results.

at the show last week that they have as
good birds in several Of the breeds as can
be shown IN the state. They learned
several other things about the show bust
ness, that they have NOT had an oppor.
tunity TO learn heretofore. They know
now what weights fowl Of given, breed
is expected to have, and other points In
the matter Of condition necessary to
permit 1t to score as high as it should.
A number Of birds shown here would
have scored several points higher II q
little more attention had been given to
getting them In just the right condition.
The show was pronounced success, and
will encourage a still better one for next
year.
