eoY's WELL-MEANT WARNING
Nautical Call Somewhat Out Of Place
When saying Grace Was
In Order.

There is Trenton boy who spends
his summers with an uncle, who Is an
enthusiastic sailor. Last summer the
lad was particularly impressed by his
uncle's manner of singing out Hard
a-lee!" asa signal for all hands to put
their heads down whenever, In lacking
or coming about, such proceeding was
necessary to dodge the boom.
Shortly after his return from his
uncIe's place on the coast, the boy was
taken by his parents to visit his grand
father in the south of the state.
Now it appears that the grandfather
is a devout churchman, never failing
to say grace at meals. 1T being the
lads first visit, he gazed upon the I'M
usual preliminary with some wonder;
and accordingly, after leaving the la
BILE, was rebuked for not having bowed
his head like the others.
The next morning the boy showed
the effects of his rebuke. When all
were seated at table and his grand
father inclined his head preparatory to
asking the blessing, the youngster
caused the utmost CONSERVATION by
piping out in a shrill voice:

Taft Approves River Bill.

After considering the rivers bill
harbors appropriation bill for about
seven hours, the house succeeded In
disposing of 70 of the 100 pages of
that measure without making any i'm
portant changes.
That President Taft has given I'M
qualified approval to an annual river
and harbor bill was disclosed by
Chairman Alexander, of the river and
harbor committee in discussing the
bill in the house. Mr. Alexander is
strongly DESTROYS that the outlined
plans for prompt and effective i'm
provement of the Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Ohio and other inland navigable
streams shall be made certain.
He also stated in connection with
his remarks concerning the confer
ences with President Taft and the
engineers of the war department that
he believes that with regular appropri-
ations in an annual bill secured, a
feasible channel in the Mississippi
river could be obtained. He says the
upper Mississippi can be completed
within IL years, but the lower Missis.
sippi may require at least 20 years.

Letter From Explorers Home
Town Voices Views.

Washington, ID. C. Denouncing
Robert e. Peary, the explorer, as
selfish egotist.' and "braggart,"
Captain B. S.. Osbon, secretary of the
Arctic Club of America, has written
letter to the subcommittee OF the
house naval committee approving the
letters action i'm voting down the
proposition to make Peary rear ad-
miral Captain Osborn says:
THE action of the subcommittee on
naval affairs In the matter of Civil
Engineer Robert e. Peery-not Peary,
for that is and assumed name-de-
serves the heartiest commendation OF
every American citizen who values
justice and respects the United States
navy.
ITO have given this selfish egotist,
this braggart, the rank of rear admir-
al, would be foul blot on the rec
ords of congress and an insult to the
navy of the United States. 1t would
have disgusted millions of our citizens
who have no confidence In this al
legged pole hunter and Arctic fur trad
er and story teller, who for nearly a
quarter of a century has been living
off the people and sailing under a
naval rank to which he had no legal
right and for which he should have
been severely reprimanded by the
navy department long ago"
Another letter from Portland, Me-,
the home of Mr.. Peary, written by an
executive officer in the naval reserve
of that state, says:
1T should be gratifying to all think
ing citizens that there is a group of
men in Washington, who, while ready
suitably and generously to recognize
the distinguished achievements of Mr..
Peary, refuse to be actuated or in
fiuenced by fanatical sentimentalism."

was completely undermining our
health. l lost fifty pounds in weight

MINERS TROUBLES
pittsburg Operators Refuse Demands
and Trouble Freshens

Pittsburg, Feb. 16-Pittsburg coal
operators today refused the demands
of miners In the permissible powder"
question on the grounds that they are
unfair and violation OF the agree
ment made In Toledo in 1908.
The mine workers commanded coma
pliance with the terms made by the
Charleroi Coal company, by paying on
run OF the mine" basis or providing
an increase OF Ave and half per cent
to men working In wide rooms and
nine per cent in narrow work; that
miners be furnished new explosives
1t the same relative cost as black
powder, and when shot-firers are en-
ployed the company pay them.
The operators assert the Charleroi
company does not come into compe-
tition with other operators and that
with run of the mine" basis the
miner grows careless and shoots his
coal so hard It goes to pieces. As to
wages Of shot-frers the reply states
that where the law does not require
shot-firers, the United Mine Workers
had agreed to relieve tie operator on
this payment
The reply asserts Willingness TO
make tests for determining the com
para.ive effects OF various explosives,
but the committee Or miners and OPP
orators failed to agree on d basis
In conclusion the repay says:
THE agreement made at Toledo In
1905 provides that nothing be done

FEE DRUG STORE
CHANGES HANDS
New Owner to Take Possession
January Second

One of the largest business
concerns in Meade has changed
hands, a deal being completed the
first of the week whereby Mrs.
Frank Murphy becomes the
owner of the Fee drug store.
This announcement will no
doubt come as surprise to
many as the business has been
conducted by the Doctor so long
that a change was not thought of.
In talking to a News reporter
DR.. Fee said that the only reason
for the sale was that he had not
the time to devote to the bnsi-
ness on account of his rapidly
increasing practice. He also
says that any rumor that he con-
templates leaving the town is
utterly without foundation, that
he has his home and property
here and with a practice which
keeps him on the go almost con-
stantly, it would be foolishness
to think of changing location.
Mrs. Murphy says that the
store was purchased for her son
Russell, who is now in college
completing course in pharmacy
and that they will conduct
clean, up-to-date drug store.
Russell held a position in the
Taylor drug store at Liberal for
some time and is fully competent
to c conduct the business in sat
isfactory manner.
The new order will go into eff
feet on January ?, when the new
owners will take up their resi-.
dence in Meade and become
part of the business and social
life of the town. They are too
well known to our people to need
any introduction and we bespeak
for them liberal patronage.

CAR OF POULTRY
GOES EROM HERE
Wafer & Colgan Doing Business
on Big Scale

Last week the produce firm OF
Wafer & Colgan shipped car OF
poultry to Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA. This is the first time that
a whole car of poultry has been
shipped from this point, and.is
only another testimony to the
advancement OF the country.
For some time Meade was
without an exclusive produce
house, the merchants handling
the business and making ship
ments from time to time as
small lots accumulated. When
the firm of Wafer & Colgan start
ed in business, they promised
the farmers they would ship car
lots if they could get the required
amount to fill car. They start
ed with this object in view and
have been successful. BY reason
of saving in transportation
charges they were enabled to
pay from two to three cents
per pound more than the market
price, and that means quite a
sum of money to the poultry
raisers of Meade and adjoining
counties.
Another car is to go about the
first of December and all who
have poultry to sell should get
in on this shipment.
The firm is doing nice bust
ness apd is mighty good thing
for the town and county.
We can't write poetry all the

BAPTIST PASTOR TO
A NEW LOCATION
After Year of Fruitful Work Rev.
Hancks Resigns

Rev. T. F. Hancks and family
leave today for Clements, Kan
sas, where Mr.. Hancks has taken
the pastorate of church in the
country nearby. He says he
has an excellent field and good
strong congregation in the new
location.
Rev. Hancks has been in
charge of the church here about
a year and in that time he has
accomplished much for the bet
torment of the organization and
the up-lift of mankind. He has
baptized thirty-eight persons
and received fiftv-six into the fell
lowship of the church. About
$500 have been raised for all
purposes. The church building
! has been painted, papered. and
Npaired; the parsonage repaired
y Y much other work done to
beautify the premises.
1t is with mucn regret that we
see Rev. Hancks and wife re-
move from our midst. They
have made a host OF friends dur
ing their residence here; their
help and influence could always
be counted on whenever the un-
dertaking was for good, and in
the religious and the social life of
athe town they leave place diff
ficult to fill.
The best wishes of everyone
go with these estlmable people
to their new home and we heartily
commend them to the people
with whom they will in the future
work.
