The Fowler Gazette of last week
contained the usual write-ups of
that town as put up by all the fake
"write-up men" who come along.
This same fellow came to Meade in
company with some woman and we
politely turned him down. The
Globe also gave him CLASSY stare
and he went on his way without
cent from Meade. AS a rule it

500, 900. 90 in railroad bonds.
Now, we remember that Meade
county voted SI2o, 900. 90 about 20
years ago and they are not paid yet
and Meade county is about 100 per
cent better county than Haskell.
We do not think that Haskell coun-
ty will have their bonds paid when
the time to pay comes. 1t looks
small now but wait until the interest
begins to pile up and it will look as
big as mountain. They can do
no better than we did and our in
terest is not paid yet to say nothing
of principal and judgments on de-
ferred interest. 1t is only history
repeating itself and the people who
live there in twenty years will have
to pay debt that they did not con-
tract. If We were resident there
we certainly would have registered
at least one kick against them.

Meade is to have large elevator
before another season. The con-

A meeting was held at the home of
Mrs. VIM. H. Pope yesterday after
noon to make plans looking toward
a federation of all the Missionary So

was the %concensus of opinion that
such a Federation be formed and in
the discussion OF plans it vas plainly
demonstrated that there was an in
tense interest in this project.
Mrs. c. E. Baker, OF the Baptist
society, acted as chairman. Two i'm
portant committees were named by
her, a committee on constitution and
bylaws with Mrs. H. F. M. Bear as
chairman, and a nominating commit

Wichita, Kansas, today might have
been merely a w~ay-station on a
branch railroad, had she not IN the
early days possessed men of the same
spirit as those now pushing Roswell.
Augusta had the railroad terminals,
and other advantages over Wichita,
but Augusta is today a village but
little known outside of Butler coun-
ty, Kansas, while Wichita is known
throughout the great Southwest. 1t
all turned on the matter of riski1g a
little debt in order to secure the nee
essary railroad facilities. Wichita had
men of enterprise and courage, while
Augusta had not. Roswell has now
as great possibilities as Wichita had
twenty years ago-greater perhaps.
