Saturday on his way home from
a visit with his son, who is at

he did in this county. This year
his wheat crop was the best in
that county, and his corn aver

He is of the opinion that is the
coming wheat country, but says
that some of the farmers will
haze to change their style Of
work, as the great drawback gu
there has been poor farming as

Harvest Hand Committee

At the meeting of the Pawnee
County Farmers Institute last
week a committee was appointed
to see what could be done in the
way Of carrying out a plan pro-
posed by j. P. johnson for
raising harvest hand funds. Mr.
johnson plan is to have the as
SCISSORS in the various townships
ascertain the number Of acres
each man has in wheat, and the
probable number of hands he will
need, and assess each man SOC
for every 100 acres in wheat. 1t
is thought that this will give
enough funds to pay all expens-
eS of securing hands each year.
Messrs. D. A. Ely, Ed Lyman,
and j. P. johnson were appoint
ed a committee to look into the
proposition and see what can be
done along that line. This COM
mittee met Thursday and organ
lied, and decided to give the
plan a trial.-Larned Tiler &

rather than fight the case, paid
their double liability but the rest
put up enough money to hire an

appealed to the Supreme court
where they won out and will

A TOWN FAR
What It Means to the Farmer
Great Bend Should Have It

The writer lived for years in
a town, not as large as Great
Bend, that had its best business
feature a fair, or monthly sales
day. In that town, since the
first inhabitants located and
when the village store, mill and
blacksmith shop, were the on
" industrial enterprises, the
fair day. was inaugurated.
Ever since that time the first
Tuesday of each month Except
ing April and November when
on account of election the first
Monday is the date, has been
set aside as farmers sales day
and as the town and country
have grown in population, the
SaleSday has grown in popular
ity and Importance until farm
erS and buyers from miles
around congregate, and many
are the various business transact
tons made, which, were it not
for sales day" would never have
been thought of.
The sales day gives the farm
er an opportunity to dispose
Of what he has no more use for,
at a fair price, and on the other
hand to buy what he wants
in the way of machinery, stock,
etc.
1t gives the stock man an OPP,
pOrtunity to exhibit his stock,
when such exhibit will do the
most good.
1t gives the ladies an oppor-
tunity to visit the stores ard
purchase goods when special
prices and inducements are Of
fered, as is always the case
on such days.
1t brings buyers from the cit
les and makes competition in
buying which must prove an ad-
vantage to the seller.
And best of all i t is an
opportunity to meet and visit
with your friends from all parts,
discuss crops and conditions and
thereby get exchange ideas that
will be very beneficial to all.
By all means let's have a farm
erS' sales day. 1t will cost
practically nothing to inaugurate
the salesday and will be a
source of profit and pleasure
to all for generations to come.
On this question we would
very much like to have commun
cations from our farmer friends,
as a number of them, we know,
formerly lived in communities
where sales days were held and
know the advantages Of them.

Il Is extremely unlikely that stronger

The paper read by former Justice OF

justifable. "The Irish. Poles. Germans
