CHURCH TO Be ReMODElED.
Methodist People Let Contract for Addition to
House Of Worship This Week.

For some time arrangements
have been under consideration
for remodeling of the church
building of the Methodist church
of this city. This week the car
penters and contractors have
been busy submitting plans and
figures for the work and Tuesday
afternoon the contract was let to
contractor Joe Service.
The improvements to be made
are said to be such that will cost
about 5000 and there are to be
two additional rooms with fold
ing doors so that the entire build
ing may be made into one audi
forum. The two additions to the
building are to be used for Sun
day school and class work as
well as To enlarge the seating
capacity of the building,
The reporter has not seen the
plans as adopted but we under
stand that the present building
is to be turned around and an
other tower to be added rs we'll
as the two rooms. New seats
are to be provided after the add
tons are made and altogether it
is said that the building as com
pleted will compare favorably
with any frame church building
in the west.

The sermon at the Presbyte-

Land of the Midday Sun, Her
Forms, Folks, Freaks and Fash
ions," twice and | would gladly
hear him again. | have heard

GREAT SUCCESS
FEEDING CATTLE.
RANDALL COUNTY CITIZENS FINDS PAYING
AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS,
Cattle and Hogs Fed for the Markets are A.
most invariably to Bring
Top Prices.

It is becoming a well known
fact that the Panhandle cattle
and hogs which are fed for the
markets are factors in bringing
up the prices of stock in their
class when they are shipped.
From time to time we have made
note of the shipments made and
it is a fact that they almost in
yariably bring the top prices. In
fact we recall but once when
they did not bring the top price
and then they were delayed in
shipment and came only five
cents per hundred under the
top price.
Rev. John 4. Wallace of this
city has been feeding both cattle
and hogs during this winter and
and on Monday of this week had
a car of hogs, averaging about
eight or nine months old and
$50 pounds in weight which top
ped the market for hogs in their
class at Fort Worth bringing
the owner 1852 per hundred
pounds. Other hogs and cattle
which he has shipped have like
likewise topped the days market
when sold.
In conversation with the News
reporter this week Rev. Wallace
stated that he used a large
amount of milo maize and kaffir
corn, together with alfalfa in his
feeding this year and that he
considered the combination of
feeds to be very fine indeed and
that in fact he did not think that
the combination could be beat
for plump and heavy animal.
He has been feeding steers in

More Badger Fights.

Last Friday two more people
We're initiated into the mysteries

fight. These two men were

his pens east of the city and has
been following them up with
hogs and considers that almost
all that he got for the hogs out
side of first cost was profit.
After they were in good condi-
tion he penned them up and fed
the grain and some alfalfa and
made them ready for the market.
Mr.. Wallace has had very fine
success and he considers that
his prices were attributable to
the fine condition in which the
stock were placed by the use of
the feeds which he used. He
recently sold a car of yearling
steers on the Kansas City mar
ket which Melted him $40 per
head. which is not such a bad
price after all.
Randall county is becoming
feeding center for hogs and cat
tie and it will not be long before
the eastern and northern pack
ing houses will be sending agents
into this territory for the pur-
pose of buying them in advance
of shipment.

tual awakening is the result of
the meetings. Several persons
concluded to bid farewell to the
sinful life, and confessed the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.
If the non-church-going tendency,
which prevails to so a large
an extent in Baxter Springs,
could have been overcome more
completely, the result would have
been a large number of CONVEX
sious to the Lord. There is talk
of another revival meeting to be
held this winter, if that should
be, we trust that it may be far
reaching in its results.

GIVE HIM HIS DUE.

While so many are "cussing" and
most everybody discussing President
Roosevelt for his eccentricities-and
that for the sake of the dignity of the
high Office he holds he should have
the self-possession to forego, yet he
likewise does some very commendable
things, and the Argus believes in Civ
ing credit when credit is due.
There is one thing that he has al
ways been consistent in, as well as
right about, and that is he has not
hesitated nor ever failed to veto any
effort made by a corporation to Sc
cure control of a water power be-
longing to the people. The water
powers are natures forces, and
should be preserved as largely bene-
6cial to the people as possible.
In recent message carrying such
a veto to the congress President
Roosevelt thus clearly and patriotic
ally presents the issue:
''The people of the country are
threatened by monopoly far more
powerful, because in far closer
touch with their domestic and indus
trial life, than anything known to
our experience. A single generation
will see the exhaustion of our natural
resources of oil and gas and such a
rise in the price of coal as will make
&he price of electrically transmitted
water power controlling factor in
transportation, in manufacturing and
IN household lighting and heating
Our water power alone, if fully de-
yeloped and wisely used, is probably
sufficient for the present transporta-
,tion, Industrial, municipal and do
Hnestic needs. Most of it is undeveI-
oped and is still in national or state
control.

AS TO COTTON.

There is a movement on foot to
have congress to fix, name or estab-
lish what is called scientific grades
in cotton, but whether such will ever
be accomplished is as yet purely pro-
blematical. Certainly will it hardly
be possible toe-shav the present con-
gress take astion on the proposition.
In the meantime a conference on
the part of the officials of the de-
partment of agriculture, and all the
experts they can assemble is to be
held February 1, but no one is very
hopeful that divergent views can be
reconciled and a bill passed this ses-
sion.
Nor is it probable that government
grading will ever take more than an
advisory form. This is why the gov
ernment is endeavoring to name
scientific grades that will commend
themselves TO all interests. Compul-
sorry grading by the government is
out of the question. There is no war
rant for it in the constitution. The
government should fix good system
of grades, and then appeal to the var
ious exchanges and the business pub
lie to adopt it.
The subject is interesting and the
government conference on February
l will settle the matter the one way
or the other SO far as the present ses-
| sion is concerned. But another ses-
| sion is coming and the conference of
February 1 should plan with refer
ence to action by it.
