MEADE COUNTY EXPOSE
TON ASSOCIATION
Progress Made and Work
Yet TO Be Done.

The advertising committee of
the above associa ton has secured
atnumber of photographs of farm
scenes, farm building, with build
ings of public character, as well
as several plates for the embel-
fishing of the book which it is
proposed to have with the exhibit
to distribute. This will show
the advantages and beauties of
the county in brief and i'm
pressive manner. The execu-
tive committee has secur e d
samples of growing crops and
grains. So far as we can learn
this is about all that has been
done up to the present.
There is much to be done yet
and the time limit is drawing
dangerously close to the eXclud-
ing point. Copy for the printed
part of the book, which is about
the size of the Kansas magazine,
has not yet been prepared. The
men who have this in charge
should press this to final in the
next week. It takes time to set
type and it takes time to run an
edition of even a book of this size
through the press when it is
proposed to issue 10000 copies,
the binding can't be done in a
minute. You men who have
accepted these positions and the
responsibility of seeing that the
county was properly represented
at the Chicago Live stock show
have a duty to discharge which
the county holds you responsible
for. Evsrv one who has taken a
part to do in this work should
from now on work like a beaver.
, 1t lies in your power to present
the county in a way which will
bring credit to it and you, and
this will be accomplished by
hard, careful, painstaking work.
On the other hand you can by
neglect disgrace both the comfy
and yourselves. This last is
easy to do, it only requires neg
lect of the work which you have
accept I'd from the citizens meet
ing.
There is also representation
of the county's business resourc-
es which it is proposed to show
by advertisements in the book
above mentioned. This if prop
er1y done will be the strong
drawing card of the printed part
of the program. Nothing will
convince strangers of the pros
perity of county so well as the
advertisements of the business
concerns located in the place.
For the benefit of the merchants
and business men who do adver-
tise in the book it is proposed to
distribute free 1000 copies in the
county. The book will be pre-
served for years as souvenir of
the time and the men who have
produced it.

Charles Smith Sees Big Gam G
in the Mountains.

Charley Smith, of Sand Greek
township, returned last week
from pleasure trip west and
northwest as far as Portland.
His first stop was at Pixies Peak
which he climbed, and enjoyed
the fine cool air of the mountain
heights. Having seen the show
places of that interesting region,
he again proceeded as far as
Salt Lake City, where he stopped
to visit and see the city of the
later day saints. Again on the
wing he reached Portland with
ut incident worthy of note.
Here he was the guest of his
brother James, formerly of this
county. After several days of
sightseeing, and adventure of a
tame sort here, it was decided
that a hunt in the mountains
after big gan e in emulation
of Teddy, would relieve the
tedium of life.
A party being organized and
outfitted for the hunt, Charley
and his brother and a friend left
for the hills. To a resident of
Meade the way seemed rough
and perilous, but the wilds were
reached without incident or ac-
cident. Here big game seemed
wary of the nimrods, however,
after some days Charles located
the big game, and at the same
time reached the climax of their
adventures. AS before remarked
living on the flats of Meade coun-
tv does not fit one for mountain
climbing, and Charley became
weary, sat down on a big log to
rest, and while quietly meditat-
ing on the folly of man in general,
and himself in particular, for
coming to such place to tramp
for days after g m e which
seemed to be extinct, he heard a
ruStling in the bush. Looking
over his shoulder he saw few
rods off a bear, II feet 6 inches
tall standing on his hind feet,
licking his jaws hungrily, he was
about 6 feet around the should
ers. Charley did not of course
measure him with a tape line,
but the dimensions are as they
seemed at a rapid glance.
What follows is as near in
Charles words as his friend
who wrote it down soon after
could reproduce them. The bear
after good look dropped down
on all tours and ran, Charley also
ran, but whether he ran after
the bear or the bear ran after
him, Charley don't know. He is
certain that they both ran, at
least he was running the first
time he noticed what he was do
ing and believed the bear was
some place on the mountain side
running, he, Charley was still
running when he arrived in
camp. Game being so scarce
the party packed up and left at
once for the low grounds near
Jim's home.

Old Settler Picnic.

There has been considerable
talk of an old settlers picnic in
Meade, or an old settlers reunion,
the name being immeterial. The
idea being to get the people who
came here in the early days tC-
gether and have a good time,
Renew old time friendships, and
have general good time. Those
who have this business in hand
should begin to push it. 1t is
not long now till cold weather
will begin, and the driving may
not be good. We are relia bly, in
formed that Attorney General +.
S. Jackson would come up and
make talk for the, people as
sembled. Push the matter along
and call on the News for any
help it can give.
Misses Otsie and Holsie
Danks in company with Messrs
B. Buis and D. Newman made an
auto trip with Frank Truax at
the wheel down to Englewood
this week. They attended a
dance while there, enjoyeh the
ride immensely, and speak IN the
highest terms of the Englewood
folks as hosts.
Walter A. Burford and wife
came to Meade Thursday, where
they joined their son Henry and
wife for visit to relatives in the
west, northwest and in Califor-
MIA. Mr.. and Mrs. Nett also
return at the same time to their
home in Rialto, Cal.
Last Saturday Won Prosky's
band picked up their instru-
ments and came down on the
street, where they gave the coun-
try folks in town musical treat.
We heard many complimentary
words for the boys from the
listeners.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Dalgarn
came home from Wichita this
week where they had been to
consult specialist in eye and
ear trouble, on Mrs. Dalgarn's
account. She was much bene-
flied.
