A Fowler Compliment

J. H. Randolph from Meade was
in Fowler last Friday in the interests
of his reelection to the office of
probate judge. In speaking Of his
work during the past term he says
he has tried the best way he knew
how to save the tax payers all the
money he could and fill the office IN
the most satisfactory manner. Dur
ing the past year there has been only
$3.50 paid out by the county for
costs willie S367.3o have been col
lected in fees. This left only
S132.7o of his salary to be paid by
the county.
1t is somewhat of trick to keep
the records up-t o-date but he now
has them in good shape. Heis very
busy at the present time and desires
that the Gazette announce that he
will not have time to make person
al canvass Of the county on account
of the pressing duties in the office of
probate judge this time of year.
He considers that the voters put him
in Office to attend to business and
he will not neglect his duties in ord
er to further his interests in the way
of reelection. He has lived in
Meade county twentyfour years and
has raised a large family. He
stands for law and order and the up
building of the county in every way.

Dodge Mayor Hurt

A. B. Reeves, a democratic cam
paign speaker, who is mayor of
Dodge City, was injured in a col
lision. He was in an automobile
coming here from Pawnee Rock,
when they met wagon loaded with
apples. In some way the two vehi-
cles coiiided, throwing Mr.. Reeves
out and bruising him up considera-
bly,. The auto was disabled so bad
ly that another machine was phoned
for and brought the party into town,
where Mr.. Reeves was taken to the
hospital. He is reported as resting
easy and will probably be out again
soon. No bones were broken and
it is thought his injuries are not Sc
rious.
M. Daily and Frank McCracken
were the other members of the party,
neither of whom were hurt to speak
of.-Topeka Capital, Oct. II.

A Famous Story

One of the most famous serial
stories ever written, "The Hidden
Hand" will be seen in the form of
a play in four acts at the Phelps
Opera House, Nov. 4th.
The author of the dramatization
is the well known actor, Eugene
Moore.
He has constructed an unusually
powerful play from Mrs. South
worth's book, with one of the most
delightful mixtures of comedy, pa
thos, southern character, romance,
mystery and picturesque scenery
that it is possible to put upon the
stage. Mr. Moore has made that
fine, fascinating creature Capitola
stronger than ever, and there are
few such goodi comedy characters
as ''Wool' IS in this play. Of all
stage Williams "Black Donald" is one
Of the few most sought after by ac
tors of such parts. The scenes of
the four acts of Mr.. Moore's "Hid-
den Hand" are laid in old Virginia
and the play reveals the good old
times in a wholesome, homelike
manner with darkics, laughter, mus
ic, crisis in the lives of the lifelike,
homely folk and genuine glimpses
of one portion of the land of the
free of yesterday. The production
will come with special scenery and
good company under the direction
of Fred G.. Conrad.

These lectures in the field are very

FRANK W. Bowen,
Meade, kas.

DEAR SIR;
We have yours of the 18th and
note with interest your reference to
the establishing of one of our model
or demonstrating farms of Meade
county. We have established few
of these farms with railroad assist
ance, but this cannot be further at
the present time. Consequently our
requirement in addition to one half
section to a section of good land,
located near good town and close
to a railroad track, will be a loan of
$500. 90. This loan, however, may
be secured upon the land and placed
on deposit In some of your banks to
be drawn on for buildings, equip
ments and improvements for this
farm only.
We require contract which con-
tains an agreement to deposit with
the contract deed to the land in
escrow, same to be delivered to US
at the end Of five years If we fulfill
our part of the contract. That is to
prepare for crop, in case of a sec
(. ton of land, the first year 90 acres,
: and SO acres additional each year
thereafter for four years, having a
total under cultivation at the end of
five years of not less than 800 acres.
To fix reasonable average yield
that shall be obtained of wheat, oats
and corn. These averages vary
somewhat in proportion to climatic
conditions in different location. We
would make speciality of wheat,
oats and corn. While our contract
calls for five years of operation, it is
not our intention to discontinue the
farm at that time. Our purpose is
to operate all the farms that we staet
and operating continuously, making
specially of growing pure bred
seeds that are adapted to the loca-
ton or country where the farms are.
We will also fix certain days when
visitors may come to the farm and
the foreman will be instructed to
show them around and give them
general information with reference
to our methods of tillage. 1t will
also be our policy to at least once a
year run an excursion and meet the
people at the farm and give gener-
