Two More Heard From

The Meade papers are advo-
eating the organization of a south
west Kansas editorial associa-
ton extending along the main
line of the Rock Island from
Pratt to Texhoma. If they
would amend the proposition and
take in the territory to and in
Guiding Dodge City, so that the
Promoter could get into the
scheme, the Promoter man would
like to get in on the scheme.
There is nothing that helps out
the average publisher as to get
together with his brothers of the
craft and exchange experiences
and ideas. Let's hear from
someone else about it.-Ford
Promoter.
The Meade County News calls
attention to the editors along the
Rock Island Southwestern line as
to the advisability of an organiza-
ton. We are heartily in favor of
the same. There are so many
varied interests peculiar to our
territory that are not identical
with the state at large that it
seems to us aproftable associa-
tion may be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
lin Banner.
That's right brothers. Keep
up the agitation. We should or
ganize and we can if all will help.
We would like to hear from the
papers south of here.

lv the following officers were
elected:
Post Commander Frank Sourbeer.
Vice Post Commander w. C.SOsgood. Sr.
Adjutant r. Buis.
Quartermaster E. w. Jenkins.
Guard S. c. Sumpter.
The remaining officers will be

With the capable and enthusias-
tic officers the Post will assume
healthy proportions and become
a strong branch of this grand old
organization, composed of the
best people the world has ever
known. The graV-haired veter-
ans who now comprise these
posts are the young men of that
period when the country needed
men, and they answered the call.
Evere year their number dimin-
ishes' and every one should take
an active part in keeping up the
work of the organization, which
in brief period of time will live
only in memory and whose men,
bership will be made up of he
roes of later struggles.

One of The Best at The Fair.

The Meade band gave sere-
made yesterday afternoon in the
big tent of the international Har-,
vester company. The band is
one of the best that has been at
the fair this week. Prof. Won

The above from the Hutchin-

to the ability of the Meade band.
This engagement was offered
only after the management of the
fair had been satisfied that the
boys could and would make good,
and they did.

Clark, J. M. Eaton and son For
est, and Editor Stanton of the
Fowler Gazette formed a party
who went in autos to Scott, Kan
sas, last week to witness the
starting of two big irrigation
plants. The Gazette last week
devoted about four columns to a
write-up of the trip which was
very interesting reading. The
News man was asked by Mr..
Schumacher to accompany the
party but a shortage of Office
help and a 'longage' of work
made it impossible tor us to ac-
cept. Another trip will soon be
made and next time we hope to
be able to go and will no doubt
be able to make an extended
write-up, as those with whom we
have talked since they returned
are very enthusiastic over the
proposition.

Making More Room

1t is with pleasure that The
News tells of the growth of an
institution within the town. This
time it is a comparatively new
firm which has found its quart
ers too small to keep pace with
the business coming its way,
A few months ago the Truax
Garage Company moved from
the small building in which it
began business to the new and
commodious brick erected for
the home of the company. At
first the building looked rather
empty, but gradually the BUSH
ness grew until all the available
space was utilized, and of late
the workmen were hampered by
lack of space in which to work.
The condition is soon to be re.
lieved. Last week the building
formerly used as garage and
work shop was moved to the lots
occupied by the new building and
carpenters are at work putting
it in shape, and as soon as it is
finished it will be used as black
smith shop and vulcanizing room.

repairers. They have one of the
latest vulcanizing outfits and are
receiving many compliments on
the quality of their work in this
line and as a result of their sat-
isfactory service one man is kept
busy with the work.
New equipment is being added
the latest being an underground
gasoline tank and very efficient

We are glad to see the firm
succeed. They are nice people

patrons and are deserving of
everything which comes their
way.

Mr.. Lecky was announced. He was
introduced to the freshman, and be-
fore the latter had time to say any

harangue which he kept going with

Says the Picayune: You can

gou, from April 10 to June 10;
striped bass or bar fish, white crappie
and all other species of fresh water
fish, except those named above, from

Senator Marston had section 8 Of
the Friedrich act amended so that
the law as it stands on the statute
books, section 8 reads: BE it furth-
er enacted, ETC., That it shall be I'M
lawful for any person to use dyna-
mite. drugs or throw saWdust in

or killing any fish in the waters Of
this state; provided, that in the en-
forcing Of this act the fishing and
fish caught with rod, hook and line,
held in hand, is hereby exempted
from the provision Of this act
For many months the Game Com
mission struggled With the act regu-
lating the catching Of fish. and after
being defeated before the Supreme
Court in q test case, decided to is
sue an otder that all sportsmen who
fish With q rod, hook and line, may
catch fish at any time Of the year.
This will be welcome news t
sportsmen all over the state who

properly.
