Struck Oil at Groton
 Near Flowing Goodyear We'll

Ithaca. N. Y.. May A.-More oil has been discovered in the village of Gro ton, not far from the Goodyear well, where for the last four months oil has been pouring steadily. A number of workmen struck oil just below the sur face of the bed of a creek. They were building a concrete wall, and on re- moving the form which had been inn bedded in the earth noted that it was saturated with oil. One of the men then sank his pick-handle two feet be- low the surpace, and when he pulled it out oil spurted up.
 This oil burns about as we'll as kero- sene. A company has been formed to develop the Goodyear property, and it will sink a shaft soon.

Newspaper Farmers Friend.

In an audience composed mostly OF
the members OF the farmers union re-
Gently one Of the speakers expressed the
mutual friendship between the farm
and newspaper in the following:
Gas rule the farmer has no firmer
friend than the county press. The home
paper is distinctly the farmers own pa
per, supported directly and indirectly
by farmers who compose the backbone
of the subscription list Of the printer,
and largely for what the enterprising
merchant advertises. Now, brother, let
US not forget our friends. Let us see
that our subscription is paid year in
advance; we can do it,
"The man or paper that fights our bat
ties shall have my support. Another
thing, the merchants advertising are the
ones who make it possible for US to get
good local paper. The man or local
firm who is too penurious to advertise
and help support the local press has no
right to the farmers patronage.
81 promised, hereafter, to go to the
live advertiser and the man who does
his share in supporting the local press,
thus contributing to my support, rath-
er than man who proposes to take all
and give nothing back. II farmers as a
class would support their friends, the
other fellow would soon go out of bust
ness"

No Roads, No Mail.

Word has gone out all over the west
that rural delivery will be suspended on
all routes where the roads are reported
by the carriers not to be in good condi
ton for travel. This brings the matter
right home to every individual farmer.
When he is denied his daily mail and
his daily paper, to the receipt of which
he has now become accustomed, he will
realize a. never before what good roads
mean to him in every day life. To be
sure, the receipt OF daily mail is not the
most important reason why farmers
should maintlin smooth, dry highways
between themselves and town, but it is
characteristic Of most great movements
that they are made popullr by some
minor feature, and through this less i'm
portant matter the main good is accom-.
plished. 1t is, therefore, likely that
farmers will eight harder for good roads
because OF the danger of losing rural de-
livery than because they enable then to
haul their crops to market at much re.
duced exp ense and otherwise help them
to enjoy the pleasures OF life instead Of
being cooped up on the farm for half
the year.-Ex.

Wants Golden City Post Office.

John -Greisel, former editor Of the
Golden City Register, and the plaintiff
10 the recent very much advertised suit
against the Golden City Woodmen, is a
candidate forthe, Golden City ,postoffice,
to succeed Postm aster Bell, who was
appointed four years ago next March
Bell is also a candidate to succeed him
self. 1t has been annouced, frequently OF
late, that the departmental Washington
did not look with very much favor upon
putting one postmaster out to give new
one job, but everybody understands
that about seven oights of the stuff that
comes from the office at Washington,
for public consumption is bupcomb
pure and simple. Gresel and his friends
are quietly confident that he will be ap-
pointed, and the chances are that their
confidence is not without foundation.
John g. Mckinley, who has recently
withdrawn from the senatorial race in
favor of Senator Warner, will do any.
thing in reason for Greisel, and under
the circumstances Senator Warner
himself could hardly do otherwise than
to endorse Gieisel. The state admins
traticn is declared also to be friendly to
the eX-editor, so it is plain that he and
his friends have reason to view the stu
alton with much, hope If not even with
certainty Lamar Democrat.

Race Suicide in Barton County.

Superintendent L. E. Brous, who
cams in Friday from his weekly tour
among the country schools, finds some
rather startling things in connection
with the attendance throughout the
rural districts. The schools, he declares,
are very small. Some of them have an
attendance as low as twelve and four
teen. or tho twenty-five schools, which
he has already listed, but two OF them
have an attendance to exceed thirty,
and eight of them are below twenty.
II thought at first that this low attend
ance was tho result Of the dry, hot
weather" he said, "but cooler days
have not brought any more pupils.
The fact is the pupils are not in the
districts. For example, down in my old
home district of Rocky Mound, back in
the days when l attended school there
the numeration ran as high as hun
dred and thirty. Now it is about
forty" There is no question but the
country districts will have to be consoli-
dated. 1t will be cheaper to hire the
children taken to and from school than
it will to hire so many Unnecessary
teachers. Laugh about 1t as we may,
but race suicide is hitting US with a
venge nce.-Lamar Democrat.

Who Was 1t

Who sympatmzed with you when your little girl was
sick? Who "carried" you last winter when you were
out of job? Was it Sears Roebuck, and Montgomery
Ward Co., or was it your Home Merchants?
When you want to raise money for the church or
some needy person. gravel the country roads, do you
go to the Fair store in Chicago write to "Gordon
Van Tine"-or do you call on your Home Merchant?
How much do Seigel, Cooper & Co. give toward
keeping up the sidewalks, paying the minister's
salary, the running expenses of the town?
Who helps boost the town, speaks good word for
the county, congraulates you when you get married,
tells only good things about you when you die? Is it
the Job printer in ST. Louis Oshkosh? Or is it the
home editor?
When you were sick, how many nights did Larkn
Soap Co. sit up with you?
Who furnished the money to make our street fair
success? Was it Marshall Field & Co., Jones Bros,

Bonds Were Defeated.

Jopin's pet pre- position, the proposed
S250,000 bond issue for the building of a
new court house at Joplin, the purchase
OF new county farm aud the building
of new Jail at Carthage, got decided
black eye at the special county election
last Thursday. The county returned n
vote of 3, 113 against the measure, and
only 1903 in favor Of it, a majority OF
ITO noes. The sentiment against the
proposition seems to have been almost
unanimous outside of Joplin, which was
responsible for l, ia of the 1903 aflirma.
tive votes. Carthage was out en- masse
and dealt the measure death blow
with 1907 votes against to 90 for. 1t
would have been defeated, however,
without Carthage vote. Here in Jas.
per 22i votes were cast, and only 2 OF
these read "yes."
The chief reason for the heavy vote
against tbs bonds was the general be-
lief that this was last measure of Jop-
lin before asking for division of the
county into two parts, with Joplin the
county seat OF the new county thus
formed. A new court house half paid
for by the eastern half OF this county
would be handsome present to the new
county of course. The Jail clause and
the poor farm clause were, of course,
designed to catch votes that would 9TH
erwise go against the proposition.
Following is the vote from the various
parts of the county:

Now that the heron has practically

of the plume hunters. The British
