Two Good County Papers.

Last week while in Larned we
called in at the office of the Larn-
ed Chronoscope, where we found
the two owners both in and busy
each in his department. Mess
ers Wolcot and Christy are
pleasant gentlemen to meet and
have well equipped Office with
Babcock press and latest style
of folder attached. The Chron-
oscope is a six column eight page
paper carrying all the news and
interesting happenings, with
fine line of advertising. 1t is a
good example of a first class
country paper in live town.
Walking directly across the
street we stepped into the office
of The TilIer and Toiler, to be
warmly greeted by Mr.. H. B.
Pearce, the business manager.
Mr.. Pearce asked us to be seat
ed and for a short time we talk
ed shop. Mr.. Pearce enter
talningly spoke of the business
in its varied forms. The Tiller
and Toiler is large Office with
good job department and a
Junior type setting machine.
The paper is an eight page seven
column with second edition at
times, and is well edited aud

A very profitable and enjoy

that we make the environment
such as will make for a pure
and noble manhood. Rev. Baker
in his remarks on "Real times
and real people" reminded us
that we haveF to deal not with
ideal people but with real ones,
and that our problem is to make
ourselves and all about us better
and that "life is real, life is
earnest" Mr.. Curl, President
OF the Brotherhood, and first
speaker on the program it is
conceded made the best talk of
the evening. His remarks
sparkled with wit and humor at
times, and then seriously he
warned us that the young, are
following our examples, and
therefore it behooves us to live
such lives that those who pattern
after us will be led in the right
paths.
The music furnished by the
male quartette was of high
order of excellence, an d
thoroughly enjoyed by all pres
ent.
Altogether this first banquet
was a great success, and not
only thoroughly enjoyable but
mutually helpful. o. II. S.

First National Bank Secures
Their Depositors.

The demand for protection by
depositors of money with banks
is bearing fruit. An insurance
company has been formed for
the purpose of insuring the de-

guarantees the payment of all
deposits not otherwise secured
within one year after the failure
of the bank insured.
The First National bank of
Meade has Availed itself Of this
insurance to make their deposi-

Prosperity Evidence

On farmers sale dayA L. Bar
rift came in from south of Fow-
Ter, in his auto and bought a full
load of furniture from Fletcher
Furniture Co.
There is no place likely where
an auto does a farmer more serv-
ice than it does here. The roads
are good and no hills worth
mentioning, the country is large
and many farmers have long
drive to make. The auto short
ems the time necessary in which
to make the trip to town for any
purpose. Meade has the only
opera house in this part of the
country, and without the auto
many farmer families would be
debarred from attending most Of
the lectures and excellent shows
which manager Phelps puts on.
C. K. Sourbeer's large brick
garage and machine shop will
be ready for use in the fore part
of the summer, and when that
is ready for business the care
of an auto will be less expensive
as any sort of repair work can
be obtained in Meade, as well as
on traction engines.

c. e. Notes

Christ winning the world"
was our subject last Sunday
and the discussion was very
interesting. Mr.. Scrivner led
the meeting and several good
talks were given, all bearing on
that one important subject of
winning the world for Christ.
The attendance was below the
average Sunday evening. 1t
seems that more members could
attend if they would only make
an effort While we are having
good Weather the house should
be fall.9 Come next Sunday and
then just keep coming every
Sunday.
The, PAPER for the church has
been ordered and will be on the
wall as soon Vas possible. This
will hep the looks of our church
a great'deal and will certainly be
worth the effort it took to get it.
7 Donald Innis is our leader for
next Sunday. We would be
glad if every member could be
there. 1t would help the leader
and it would help each member.

The Passing OF S. R. Peters.

Inthe death of Judge S. r.
Peters Of Newton, the south
west lost a strong man, one who
had had much to do with the de-
velopment of the southwest, and
who has impressed his person
ality on the laws and their con-
struction by the courts. Enter
ing the army of the civil war as
private, he returned with a
captains commission. Failing
health sent him to Kansas soon
after. He became Judge of the
judicial district which included
all of the settled portion of the
southwestern part of the state.
This included Ford county
while Meade was part of 1t for
judicial purposes, and while
Dodge City was in the hey day
of its glory as cattle town.
Later he was elected to repre-
sent the 7th congressional dis
trict when it likewise included
all of the southwestern part Of
the state which was civilized.
This duty he discharged with
credit to himself and with entire
satisfaction to his constituents.
But seeing the Populist storm
on the political horizon he refus-
ed to run for reelection and was
the only Kansas politician who
escaped downfall in that popular
wave.
A conscientious, careful stu
dent he was one of the best
Judges of law in the state, and
one who was Just IN all his con-
clusions. Having clear convic-
tions himself he advocated them,
and respected his oponents, and
faithfully upheld his belief,
Naturally it followed that he was
loved and respected by all who
knew him. A valuable citizen
has been lost by the state, and
in the death of Judge Peters,
the courts have lost an advocate
clean in his judicial and pleading
clear in his reasoning, and al
ways just in his final application
of the law to the case at the bar.
Judge Peters had practiced in
the courts of this county for
years, and had many friends
both among the members of the
bar and the people. A long,
active and useful life has closed.
Ju6ge Peters has been gathered
to his fathers, full of years and
honorS.

and gave some new ideas of the

Mr.. Wysong in his talk outlined
some of the characteristics
which go to make up the true
man, and which are liked by all.
The talk of DR.. Sloss showed
deep thought and familiarity
with his subject, and was plea
for an incentive to higher think

STATE TREASURY.
There Is at least one Office in con-
nection with the State government
against which 1t cannot be charged
that there has been a large increase
the running expenses-the State
treasury. In 1864 the expense
for clerk hire in this depart
ment was $500 a year. 1t Is now
$4,000 annually and this in face Of the
fact that the duties which devolve
upon the office have been greatly aug
mented. The work has been more
than doubled. The duties of the Of
fee are much greater than they were
before the office of State auditor was
established. Before that time each de-
partment sent out the checks for its
own expenses. Now all checks are
forwarded from the Office of treasur
er. In this department in 1864 steel
lined safe was furnished and the
same safe Is doing. duty today.
The State has very little trouble, as
rule, In collecting the money from
the different sources. The railroads,
the savings banks, the trust compan
les and the loan and building associa-
tions. in particular, are very prompt
about settling their taxes. Some diff
ficulty Is experienced in the collec-
ton of the franchise taxes, but, as
the State has the whip hand, these
have to come to time. All the taxes
due from the savings banks, the trust
companies, and the loan and building
associations will be paid by the 25th
inst These will aggregate over $780,
900.
In the olden days the pay rolls of
the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatiyes were not as large as they
now are. In 1864 the pay roll Of the
Senate was $7429. In 1909 it was $15,-
678. In 1854 the pay roll of the
House was $27738.60. In 1909 it was
$55689. The session of 1864 was 80
days in length, that of 1909 was 8S
days.

Game Birds at Cape Elizabeth.

Regarding the Hungarian partridges
which were introduced in the vicinity
OF Portland a year ago last spring
have thrived and propagated. G. S.
Ellis, who was instrumental in bring
ing about the introduction of these
birds in Maine, states that he has
been investigating into the matter
during the past two weeks and the
result is that on the Cape the pros
pect Is encouraging. He has talked
with many men on different parts OF
the Cape who have seen at different
times throughout the summer and fall,
flocks of from eight to rs of the par
tridges. The birds seem to shift
their feeding grounds from time to
time, for parties that had seen flocks
of these birds frequently during the
summer two years ago, report seeing
none this year. but other people not
far away, have found them in num-
bers this summer. One man stated
that last February a flock of the par
tridges came near his home and he
threw out cracked corn from his win
dow and they remained close to the
house for several hours. In this
flock he counted 62 birds. On another
day his wife fed a flock of 18. Mr..
Ellis has not only talked with men
who have seen the birds. but has
seen them himself. Recently he
counted IL in one section of Cape
Elizabeth.
