FRESH EGGS IN WINTER.

The poutryman who can supply
fresh eggs in winter. when prices are

tan do II unless he takes proper care
OF his fowls and gives them food con-
tanning the essential reproducing In

Republican Ticket
Entitled to Support

Next Tuesday the voters of Dick
inson county will have an opportun-
ity to select their officers for the
coming two years. AS candidates
there are before them great many
good men. Both parties have nomi-
mated clean and worthy candidates
who represent a high average OF
Kansas citizenship. There has been
in the campaign no mud-slinging and
no personal attacks on character. The
contest has been on priciple, as 1t
shauld be.
However, of the candidates, those
nominated by the Republicans are
especially worthy of support, not
alone because they are clean, honest
Ipen but they represent princlplaH
which are in the interests OF pro-
gress and the building up of Dick
inson county and Kansas.
From Governor Stubbs to road ov-
erseer, the Republicans have nomi-
mated strong ticket of good men
and there should be determined
effort on the part of every Repub-
licnn of Dickinson county to be al
the polls next Tuesday and cast his
vote by making a cross mark in the
circle under the eagle.
II the Republicans do this there
will be a majority for every candi-
date on the tic ket Of over five hun
dred. This is very likely will hap
pen because the Republicans are
determined this year to give rous-
ing majority.
Here in Dickinson county we are
especially interested in our home
ticket and it is a matter Of special
pride that It be elected throughout
No stronger list of candidates have
ever been presented than those that
are on Dickinson county's ticket.

LOOKED GOOD TO JUNKTowN.
Called for Abstracts Of Those Oak
land City Lots.

An Oklahoma mountain is no
drawback in the eyes of the enterpris-
ing citizens of Junction City, when
free lots are the stake, according to
a dispatch received here today.
One of the local men, says the
dispatch, who secured lot in Oak
land City, Okla, the other day, came
out lucky, He traded 1t for two
overcoats and several dollars to boot,
the other fellow agreeing to pay the
costs of getting the deed.
The majority of those who were
presented with lots in the Oakland
drawing held there several weeks ago
have called for their abstracts. The
explanation Of the president OF the
company that the lots were given
away as an advertisement, was ap-
parently satisfactory to those who
were lucky enough to secure one OF
the parcels OF hhns " =
Abilene had the same chance but
buyers here were more suspicious.
One of them wired to the county
seat nearest the supposed town OF
Oakland and found that the alleged
townslte was on a barren mountain
side. The agent who gave away the
lots made his money through exorbi-
tant abstract fees.

renominated for clerk of the district
court, has a record of which any
county official may well be proud.
He has kept every days business in
such perfect order as to receive the

business with the district court. His
books are models Of exactness and
his courtesy and accommodating
ways are never found the like. He

deserved and the county can be sure
that in his hands the court records
will be properly kept.

TAUGHT SCHOOL A MONTH
WITHOUT A PUPIL PRESENT.
One Teacher Now Draws a Salary
without Going to Building.

When certain young lady signed
a contract with the directors OF
school district No. SO to teach the
"Heart's Content" school, about
mile north of Abilene, there were
some misgivings among taxpayers in
the district as to whether enough
pupils would appear to make 1t worth
while to keep the schoolhouse OPEN
However, the matter had been
threshed out in open school meeting
and everyone present, save one fam
ily voted in favor Of employing a
teacher. Supt. M. F. Aumiller, who
attended the meeting, told the peo-
ple It was their duty under the law
to have school so long as there was
single pupil to attend, and ne re-
minded them that II they failed to
do this it was possible to divide the
district, and incorporate the south
ern half Of It with the Abilene dis
irtct. thereby increasing the taxes OF
persons residing | nthat half. Just
the same" he assured the people,
"as long as | am superintendent your
district will not be divided, whether
YOU hire teacher or not.
The"Hearts Content school was
opened a few days later than the
schools in surrounding districts, and
when the new teacher went to the
building the first morning, she found
It empty. She taught school all
morning to one pupil-and that pu'
pil was herself. The lesson was en-
titled, Patient Waiting" and 1t was
her own fault II discipline was moi
perfect and recitation accurate. Thii
was repeated every Monday, Tuesday
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
morning for thirty days.
BY that time as not pupil had
appeared the teacher thought she
was entitled to a postgraduate de
gree. The directors were called into
consultation, and new contract Wai
drawn up, by which the teacher
agreed to a reduction in her salary
in consideration OF being relieved oi
the duty Of appearing at the school
house every morning. Should any
pupils appear during the term Of heI
original contract, she can be recalled
to the school on full pay. She II

Assessor.

f. ]. Murphy, who has been coun-
ty assessor for the past year, gave
such good satisfaction that he was
renominated and he will have the
approval OF the voters next Tuesday.
He has been conscientious and care
full in looking after the interest OF
taxpayers and has done a great deal
of good work In bringing the assess
meDts to a fair standard In the In
terests Of every property owner. He
is the kind of a man who should
be kept In that place.
High School Trustees.
For high school trustees the Re-
publicans have nominated A. v. Jew
cit, C. H. Loudon and F. E. Munsell,
all members OF the board at present.
A great deal depends upon the man
agement OF the county high school
and these men have proved their fit
ness for the place by their excellent
Judgment 10 build UP this leading
institution of the county. That they
will be reelected is beyond question.
County Commissioner.
B. d. Fry was renomlnated by the
first district Republicans without any
effort or requests on his part and
has had the approval of the county
to such an extent that his district
will give him a bigger majority than
before at the coming election. Mr.
Fry is a first class business man ana
looks after the interests Of the coun-
ty with the same fidelity that he
does his own and deserves to be
kept in his present position.
These names make up the county
ticket and to every one Of them we
are glad to give hearty endorsement,
with the hope that the Republicans
win not neglect to be at the polls
and cast their vote for the straight
ticket and make q clean sweep on
November sth.

and has a record for straightforward,
buslnesslike legislation and won the
respect and confidence of every mem-
Der of both houses. He has been
influential in securing some OF the
best laws on the statute books and
is better equipped to serve the peo-
pie of Dickinson county during the

sition indicates how strong he if
with the Republicans of Dickinson

the kind of representative who will
