Haines? We-eh-I-I know my IA
Their would like to have you"
AS he stood before his two new
found friends-for such Haines now
considered the Mississipian and his
daughter-he could not suppress feel
ings of surprise tinged with uncertain
ty. He had, like other newspaper men,
received offers of employment from
politicians who desired to increase
their influence with the press. Some
times the salary offered had been large
the work so light that the reporter
could earn" the money and yet retain
his newspaper position, scantily dis
guised species of bribery, which had
wrecked the careers of several promis
ing young reporters well known to
Haines, young men who had been thus
led into selling their columns by I'M
scrupuous machine dictators.
Haines knew that the Mississippian
had no Interior purpose to serve in his
offer, yet he must have time to think
over the proposal.
81 thank you, senator" he finally
said. 81 appreciate the opportunity
coming from you, but I've never
thought of giving up the newspaper
profession. It's a fascinating career
one that | am too fond of to leave
Laagdon started to reply, when a de
1ightfully modulated southern voice in
terrupted:
Father, I've been out with Mrs.
Spangler to look for some other rooms
/ don't like this hotel, and found some
that l do like"
HaineS turned to see handsomely
gowned young woman who had the
stamp of patrician's daughter in her
bearing and her countenance- bru-
nette, with delicate features, though
determination shone in her eyes and
appeared in the self contained poise of
her head She was the imperious type
of beauty and suggested to Haines the
dry point etchings of Paul Helleu. He
instinctively conceived her to be in
tensely ambitious, and of this Haines
was soon to have unexpected evidence.
Gazing at her with sense Of grow
ing admiration, Haines gave an invol-
untary start as Senator Langdon
spoke:
"My daughter, Miss Carolina Lang
don, Mr.. Haines," said the senator.
Carolina was interested.
"Are you the newspaper man who is
interviewing father? l hope you'll do
a nice one. We want. him to be a
successful and popular senator. We'd
like to help him if we could"
The correspondent bowed
II should say you certainly would
aelp him to be popular senator" he
declared emphatically, failing to notice
that Hope Georgia was somewhat an
noyed at the enthusiasm displayed over
her elder sister. In fact, Hope Georgia
was suffering a partial if not total
eclipse.
'1'm leaving it to Mr.. Haines to put
down the things ought to say" broke
In the senator. sHe knows"
"Yes, he knows everything about
Washington. Carolina" exclaimed Hope
Georgia spiritedly.
The older girl spoke eagerly.
81 wish you'd interview me, Mr..
Haines. Ask me how like Washing
ton. / feel as though l must tell some
one just how much do like It'll 1t
is too wonderful
'T'd like mighty well to interview
you, Miss Langdon," enthusiastically,
exclaimed Haines.
81 hope you will some time, Mr..
Haines,' remarked Carolina as she said
goodby.
Watching her as she turned away,
Haines saw her extend a warm greet

Now don't be unmanly enough
to spend any of this money for
tobacco. The old sow will drink
the swil1 from the kitchen, eat
the pigweed and raise litter of
pigs which will furnish the fam
ily with lard and meat for the
next year to come, and there
may be two or three left to pay
the taxes. And bove all do not
forget to plant and SOW at least
a small acreage of oats, corn,
barley, speltz, maize, kafircorn
and other feed crops, instead of
devoting all wheat and starving
your faithful animals. The
numerous "Skin and Bone" an
imals driven through the streets
and roads of this city and county
are disgrace, and the pity of it
is, that it is all uncalled for.
And now, don't forget that
while we are not blessed with all
the comforts and convenienceS
of an older community, weshould
not fail to properly appreciate
the wonderful pure air, the
abundance of pure water, good
roads, mild winters and good
health with which the people of
this country are blessed, Be
honest, Industrious; pay your
debts; leave whiskey and tobacco
alone; encourage the schools and
other public enterprises which
deserve your support; hold up
your head; be one of natures

B. H. CordeS aeturned last
week from a months visit among
his relatives and old time neigh
bors in Missouri. He says that
things do move in old Missouri.
That they farm better, get
better crops and have larger and
MOI comfortable farm buildings
than they did 25 years ago. But
that this marked improvement is
! to a great extent confined to the
German settlement, although
they own the poorer part of the
country, in the hills, the old
time Missouri families being sit
uated on the streams and level
land. It seems to him that the
old families never recovered
from the shock occasioned by
the civil war and it's results.
Bob Byrns keeps up his lick in
the improvements on his farm
south of town, his last effort be-
ing an addition to his barn 3OX40
feet.
Ben Haywood came down to
Meade from his farm northwest
of Wilburn last week for a few
days visit and business. Mr..
Haywood keeps his youth well
for one of his years. He lives on
his original homestead which was
the first homestead entry south
! of Dodge City. In the early
| days he drove stage from Dodge
to Camp Supply in what is now
Oklahoma, to earn money on
which to live and improve his
farm. He this year made rec
ord breaking crop of alfalfa seed.
This country owes more than us
later birds comprhend to such
men as Mr.. Haywood, who came
here when this was acknowledge
ed to be the worst part of the
great American desert, mention
ed by Gregg, as "the terrible
Cimarron desert" Well he COM
menced the fight which has made
the desert blossom, if not like,
then for more purpose than the
rose.
| Once in a while some thing
comes up that recalls the old
ranch times and the days of the
cattle trail. The Crooked L is
bringing up from Texas, a herd
of 1400 head of mixed cattle,
steers and heifers. That sounds
like the days of yore, but there
is vast difference in the appear
ance of the cattle. Ancient1y
they were of the long horn Span
ish breed, little tanner than buff
falo. Those now on the trail are
!, all Herfords. w. w Cockins is
head boss and purser, while
Tommy Schumacher is trail
boss. Tommy began riding
after cattle about the time he
could walk and has done more or
! less of it all his life.

What Meade County Needs

| to the secretary of the farmers
institute but reached him too late
to be read at the meeting and
was handed to us for publication.
It was so good that we held it till
the other papers had been pub
lished and thought out before
giving it to our readers.
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and
Gentlemen Twenty-Five years
of active farm life on the prairies
of Meade and Seward counties
has served to teach me many les
sons of value which can only be
learned in the bitter school of
experience. In order to be sue
cessful on the farm in any local
ity the farmer should first of all
thoroughly understand the eli
mate, soil and local conditions in
his neighborhood. Forinstance,
If he finds that nearly all his
neighbcrs are devoting almost all
of their acreage to wheat it
ought to point him to the desir-
ability of forage crop or feed
crop to supply the demand in
that line during the fall, winter
and spring to follow. Time was
when we were able to make 80
bushels of wheat per acre from
sowing in the stubble, and / have
known fields that were sown in
that manner for IA years in sue
Cession, but the time for such
methods has passed away. It is
all too true that we have among us
men who still cling to such old
fashioned notions that it does
not pay to p1ow, and still follow
the old slipshod methods, but a
not very close inspection of the
affairs will furnish conclusive
evidence to the unpreiudiced
mind that slipshod farming pro-
duces s1ipshod finances.
The crying need of the west
is better farming and better
farmers. We need to get our
ground broken up to a greater
depth and more thoroughly pre-
pared. It is true that deeply
plowed ground will some times
produce smaller crop the first
year after being so plowed than
the shallower blowing, but this
is because there has not vet been
sufficient moisture to wet the
plowed ground down deep
enough, but this effect will not
follow in after years when we
once get fhe ground well soaked
below the p1owing. Better and
deeper preparation of the soil will
save up the moisture so that a
given amount of rainfall will pro-
duce much better results than
on poorly prepared ground.
There is alsoa great saving in
seed if ground is well prepared
50 that each seed will come into
close contact with the fine soil.
A haf bushel of seed in a good
seed bed will often produce a
better stand than a bushel of
seed in a poor, cloddy, trashy
seed bed. Better to put the
price of the extra half bushel of
seed into work in preparing the
seed bed.
The greatest mistake made by
the farmer is in plowing out of
season for a wheat crop. The
proper time to plow for fall wheat
is, if you crop your land every
year, in July and the first half of
August. The plow should fol-
low the header and follow it close
1y. Better pay $500 per acre
for plowing in July than to have
it done for nothing in November
if you want to SOW it to fall
wheat. There are a numbe of
good reasons for this and the
man who can not see them must,
indeed be blind.

Sentiment that what is Good in the Bill as

Might Prove Acceptable to the People of the State
Wednesdays Discussion

Hartford. April 2S.-At the close Of
the debate on the public utilities Dill
this afternoon, it was the opinion Of
number of members of the house
that the adverse report of the COM
mittee on judiciary on the measure
might be voted down and that the bill
itself be brought up for discussion in
the house and that attempts be made
to amend it in such ways as to make
* acceptable to the people of the state
and to get out Of it some OF the fea-
tt.res which are the strongest points
of objection among those who are OPP
posed to it. The sentiment seemed
Strong today to save what is good in
the work of the commission which
drafted the bill and spent great deal
of time in so doing. Many members
Of the house expressed their opinion
that it would be courtesy to the MEM
bers of the commission and to the
two governors who have favored the
bill in their messages to take either
that course or to extend the time of
service Of the commission TO the next
legislature for the commission to
bring in a bill which would not be
quite so far-reaching in its powers and
which at this time might be modelled
more carefully III the light of the ex-
perience of New York and Massachu-
sets, which states have commissions
OF such a character
The measure will probably be taken
up tomorrow morning and the debate
continued, as adjournment was taken
today while the debate was still on.
