FOWLER EXCITED.
@a- ii 5as-s AZ
Little Meade County Town Had
Never Seen the Like.
~ a. -.--.1l sla- GG& Issf5e $3.50
Twelve Wagon Leads of Wheat
Passed Up the Street.

Fowler, Kan. Oct. 81. c. F. Nc
Cauley, the most extensive wheat rails
er in eastern Meade county, broke all
previous records when he brought into
Fowler two wagon trains of wheat
drawn by twenty horse power 'trac-
ton engine. There had been rumors
for some time that such an arrival was
scheduled for the near future. 1t was
late in the evening when the tran
quillity OF the busy little village Of
Fowler was disturbed by such an I'M
usual occurrence. The grain buyers
got wind of the approaching process
sion long before it reached town, and
they grabbed up their little brass
buckets and went helter SHELTER out
across the prairie to meet it.
AS the long line came down Main
street, clerks and patrons lost interest
in bargain driving and came out in
sion crawl past. The Oldest citizens
pricked up their ears and took notice,
for during their quarter of a century
sojourn at this place they had not seen
the like before. They remembered
caravans and pack trains of early days,
but this long line Of wagons drawn by
a putting, snorting, wild-eyed being
was certainly the latest.
Mr.. MeCauley is noted for doing
things that others thought impossible,
and the establishing of the only saw
mill in western Kansas did not satisfy
his desire to get ahead of his fellow
farmers. AS result he conceived this
very unique idea of disposing of his
big wheat crop. He harvested LOO
acres of wheat this year and had sold
between So. 600 and $4,000 worth before
he brought in this large consignment
Each of the trains consisted of six
double sideboard wagons filled to the
limit and with the tank and coal
wagon Joined to the engine the process
sion presented a very imposing and I'M
usual spectacle for Fowler, Meade
county or even western Kansas. The
first load was sold to the Fowler Ele-
vator company, and the second to the
Pratt Mill and Elevator company, of
this place. All together 1t totaled
about a car load and brought from SO
to S21z cents per busheL
Mr. McCauley believes in killing two
birds with one stone, so before he re-
turned home each time he loaded car
of coal into his wagons and took IL out
to his big farm which, by the way, con-
sists of twenty-eight quarter sections
of land. He had no time to bin his
grain as it was threshed, nor did he
have the inclination so to do. but as he
went from one stack yard to another
he left the golden grain piled In huge
heaps on the ground with nothing but
the blue dome of heaven as protec-
ton. From these big piles he hauls II
direct to market and saves the expense
of building granaries and storing 1t
therein. The farmers say that rain
doesn't hurt 1t in the least, as little
Meade county sunlight makes 1t as
Saleable as ever.

Patronize Home Trade.

The Capitalization of trade in the
great cities OF the country resulting from
the growth of the mail order business is
"a national menace OF far reaching pro-
portions. Population follows trade. Ii
the business is done in the country town
and village, of supplying the needs of
the countryside for merchandise and
manufactured articles of all kinds, the
people who carry on the trade, the mer-
chant and his helpers, will live in the
town or village. Ii, on the other hand
the trade is done by mail, cutting out
the country merchant, the latter is final
ly driven out Of the business. his store
ceases to exist, his village home is aban-
doned, and it he should continue in the
trade, he and his assistants must move
to the city and become employees for
some great centralized mail trade insti-
tuition, where men are mere machines
fitting like cogs into one great wheel
with which they must day after day re-
volve. The country merchant, with his
selfreliance, his sturdy individuality.
his broad acquaintance, his knowledge
OF local affairs and needs, his support
for local institutions, his civic usefulness,
his neighborly Offices, his public SER
vices, and his co operation in movements
for local improvements, has been up
rooted and driven away. There is no
one to take his place. The trade that
gave him his vocation has gone. And
with it has gone the prosperity of the
town or village which was his home.
The mail trade has destroyed them
