The irrigation plant in Scott
county is causing great deal of
comment and men of good bust
ness judgment have been busy
figuring the result of installing
similar plants in Meade county.
They have come to the conclus-
ion that the possibilities are
great and arrangements are
under way for the early con-
struction OF such a plant. The
advantages of irrigation in this
country are being brought to
mind very forcibly. The water
makes certain crop whenever
the seed is sown and will increase
the yield from double in favor
able seasons to four times in off
or dry years. 1t puts the farmer
of irrigated land on substantial
footing and thus keeps business
in good healthy condition. If
one of these plants is installed
in Meade county it will be but a
short time until their use will be
general and we anxiously await
the starting of the first.

"Sold your farm and going to
town to give your children school
advantages?" Well, take good
look at Meade before locating.
This town offers advantages and
opportunities not found in many
places in the southwest. To the
class of people mentioned in the
opening sentence of this article,
we want to say that a more de-
sirable location cannot be found.
Meade is as clean town morally
as there is in the United States.
This is a broad assertion but is
easily proven. No saloons, joints
gam bling dens or houses of i'll
fame are tolerated within the
limits of the city, and that class
of people know better than to
try to eight" here. Only short
time ago the writer heard a
stranger, (whose mind ran to
those things) condemning the
town in no uncertain, and very
uncomplimentary terms as
good" town. His remarks, de-
rogatory to the town in his mind
were very complimentary in the
minds of the people who stand
for decency and morality. He
was the kind of fellow who would
ferret out the dens of vice had
they existed, but they did not
exist and he was sore, and his
soreness gave us pleasure. 1t is
pleasure and privilege to live
in good" town to the man or
the woman who has boys and
girls of the age when they are
just beyond the power of their
parents and that at which they
are capable of choosing wisely
their associates and their pleas
ures. 1t is a pleasure to know
that they will not be subjected
to the temptations which if
yielded to will ruin their lives,
blacken their souls, and bring
sorrow and disgrace to their par
ents. Yes, Meade is "good"
town; it is an ideal place to raise
a family, has excellent churches,
schools, and societies and you
are invited to come.
