over and over again has a husband
been selected for her by those wise in
statecraft. but she has bundled these
suitors off with slight ceremony and
has repeatedly declared hat she will
have a husband Of her own choosing
or one at all. She is the most popu.
lar princess in England and was a
.favorite of her uncle, King Edward.
Her name, which is a compliment to
Ireland, alone makes her popular with
the people of that part of the empire.
The British government has a pur.
pose in sending TO Canada a prince OF
the royal bloo!. It is believed a gov
ernor general so close to the throne
would tend to forward the empire
movement and bring the Dominion in
closer sympathy to the mother c0un-
try. The governor general as a mat
ter OF fact has very little to do with
the government Of Canada. He has
the power of veto brt never exercises
that right. Did he do so there would
be as great a commOtion as would &C.
cur IL the King in England should set
himself actively in opposition to the
elected government. But nevertheless
he has a tremendous influence though
it is operative only through social and
diplomatic channels. His salary is
S50,eoo a year with an executive resi-
dence. Those governors general who
have been most popular and influential
have been these who have really come
.tS"!ove the Dominion and its people
for themselves and have developed a
deep interest in their welfare. Wheth-
er the duke and his family can forget
the life In England TO which he has
been accustomed remains to be seen.

A NeW Version,

Lawyers have a peculiar system Of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,
exors, and admors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part Of a
solicitor who, somewhat late in life,
abandoned his profession and entered
the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
ton while reading the lesson by deliv-
ering one of the passages al follows:

OUNCE A PROFITABLE CROP
Cultivation on Increase in United
States Where 1t Has Been Grown
for Many Years.
CBy ]. F..

- . ."
IN habit Of growth the ounce is a
low dwarfy tree which admits close
planting in the orchard. Ten feet
apart each way is sufficient distance
for most varieties. Planting the trees
at the above distance will give about
435 trees per acre.
While the ounce will grow on al
most any kind of soil, a medium
heavy clay loan, being easy of cult
walton, is the ideal soil for 1t. In such
a soil the ounce readily responds to
good cultivation, and if given good
care it will continue to produce good
crops of fruit for many years. In
case the soil should be hard or de-
fcient in plant food liberal applica-
ton of manure will be very helpful
in making the soil a better one and
keeping the tree in a vigorous condi-
ton.
The ounce does not require a great
deal of pruning. About all the care
that will be necessary along this line
will be to remove and cut out the
surplus shoots and dead branches. An
occasional shortening back OF the
longer branches may be necessary to
keep the tree in it's natural form.
The best time for pruning probably
is just before the beginning Of the
growing season. Any wounds made
at that time usually heal promptly.
The ounce is propagated in many
ways. The methods most in use are
by budding. grating, cutting and
from seed. The method of propaga-
ting by cuttings is the easiest. The
cuttings should be made from the
fresh young growth of the previous
season and be treated as any other
cutting.
The ounce begins to bear early,
usually in two years after planting,
The size of trees and kind to plant de,
pend to some extent upon the locality
and the taste of the grower. Two
year old trees seem to be preferred
by most planters.
The ounce is so easily grown that
the care required in raising it is more
than amply repaid by the value of the

many methods recommended it is a
very delicious fruit.
Tho ounce finds a ready market
and sells at a good price. all depend
ing on the quality. The price paid
the past season ranged from two to
three and a half cents per pound.
The ounce has been grown in vari
Gus localities throughout the United
States since the early days. Its cult
walton is on the increase and in some
sections we find it planted on a com
mercial scale. But owing to the fac
that the ounce, including all the
varieties, is unfit for eating uncookeG
has kept it from taking much promi
nence amOng the commercial ofehes0
fruits.
The uses to which the ounce mny
be put are many, but its chief value
is as a preserving fruit. Where the
ounce Is grown 1t is naturally more

New Building Proposed

The Township board of Meade
Center Township was in session
Monday. After the transaction
of the business before the meet
ing the memb bers of the board
and Mayor Adams discussed the
abvisabilty of erecting build
ing for the joint use of The CITY
and the Township. The law
provides that an amount up to
five thousand dollars may be ex-
pended in the construction of
such a building. The structure
would contain Offices for the
township board, the city council,
police Judge, and justice of the
peace, also for the storage ofcity
and township property and for
housing the fire department. 1t
could also be used as a polling
place for the city or other cleo
tions. The site talked of was
where the old water tank now
stands, and this belonging to the
city, would not necessitate an
expenditure for the ground. A
petition containing the names of
one-tbird of the voting popula-
tion of the township would be
necessary to get the proposition
on the ballot for the purpose of
voting bonds for the building.
This could be done this fall at
the regular election if sufficient
names can be secured. Let all
who are interested talk this mat
ter up. If you are in favor of
the proposition let it be known so
the general sentiment may be
determined. Such building
would improve the appearance of
the town and provide a safe de-
pository for the records of the
city and the township as we'll as
the property of each, besides
saving the expense of rent.

Street Improvement.

Through the efforts OF H. G..
Marshal, Bert Phelps, and Lynn
Leach, petition was circulated,
funds secured and arrangements
made whereby the streets will be
sprinkled and improved, The
sprinkler has been purchased
from Mr.. Balm, and man and a
team hired at $500 per month.
This man will put in ten hours a
day and when sprlnkling is not
necessary, will be engaged in
dragging the streets and doing
other necessary work.
1t is the desire to put the
street from the court house
south two blocks and the two
blocks running east and west,
embracing the business section,
in absolutely first class condition.
The cooperation of every
business man in town is urged in
this work. With the sprinkler
and the drag wonders can be
wrought. If the weeds are cut
and the holes filled these streets
will present a very different APP
pearance. The sprinkler start

The Dairy Industry

When in Meade last week, M.
r. Alleman, Deputy Dairy Com
missioner, made The News a
pleasant call. He said he was
very much surprised when he
found no one from Meade on
hand to take the examination for
buyers of dairy products, and
went on to say that no place he
has visited affords better oppor-
tunities for dairying than Meade
county. 1t does look strange
that this industry is not develop
ed here to great extent. We
have the climate, feed, pasture,
and pure water. Thousands OF
dollars could be made on a capi'
tai which would gradually in
crease itself. A. l.. Edison who
was here from Liberal informed
The News that he was paying
from hundred to a hundred and
fifty dollars a day for butter fat.
Think of it. A steady flow of
money coming in every day.
money which comes mighty
handy between harvests, keeping
business in healthy condition
and ready cash in the pocket of
the farmer. With its wealth of
alfalfa Meade county could easily
become leading producer OF
dairy products. AT present there
is no local buyer, but before long
an agency for one of the big
creameries will be established.
The advice of The News would
be: Inform yourself on this inn
portant branch of the farming
business, II for farming is busl-
ness. The Kansas State Agri-
cultural College has issued a
pamphlet entitled Estate Dairy
Com missioner's Bulletin No. l
which contains world of infor-
nation on the. subject. 1t may
be had for the asking. Get a
copy and read tit may be

Meade county died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Fannie
Cobb, at Fowler Sunday, July "a
1910, aged 81 years and 3 months.
Mr.. Henry lived alone on his
claim ten miles southeast of Fow-
Ter. He was found unconscious
by some of his neighbors and
was taken to the home of his
daughter. A physician was
sum moned but to no avail.
Mr.. Henry was an old soldier
and came to this county from
Missouri in the spring of 1885.
He was known as a conscientious
upright man and a most excel
lent citizen.

and three daughters, Mrs. Omil
Ellis and Mrs. Fannie Cobb, of
Fowler and Mrs. Effie Otto, of
Bunker Hill, Kansas, (who failed
to arrive in time for the funeral
on account of train wreck) to
mourn his loss.

The three-year old son of Mr..

little fellow had been playing

from the top step sustaining
serious injuries. 1t was brought

times, the last time being Friday

ter arrival here. The funeral
was held Friday afternoon from
the Fletcher undertaking parlors
conducted by Rev. w. G. Baker
and interment made in Grace
land Cemetery.
The sudden death of the little
one was a hard blow to the par

hearts went out in sympathy for
them.

Cream Buyers Examination.

Mr.. M. X. Alleman, Deputy
State Dairy Commissioner, with
headquarters at Manhattan, was
in Meade Wednesday and held
an examination for buyers of
dairy products. Every person
who has charge of cream re-
ceiviug station and tests or
samples cream must pass state
examination before engaging in
business. This is done for the
protection of the farmers. Here
tofore various methods have been
employed. The equipment was
not uniform, and those who OPP
Grated it we're in some instances
incompetent. Under the new
order only one tester will be used
and all operators must pass the
examination. The department
will keep in touch with the buy
ers and insist that the rules re-
garding accuracy and cleanliness
are closely observed. This will
no doubt prove benefit to those
engaged in dairying.
The following took the exam
