WILL WANT HANDS
Ford County viii Be High Up In the Game OF
Catching Harvest Hands this Year

Ford county is expecting to be the
third or fourth county in Kansas this
year in wheat production and will
be one Of the counties where harvest
hands will be in great demand. The
tate bureau which looks after this
matter estimates now that Kansas
will need about 10000 men sent in
to assist in the harvest Of 1910. The
bureau is now getting estimates from
the different wheat counties OF the
number of hands that will be needed,
and this information will be sent to
the directors Of free employment a.
gencies at ansas City and other
points.
The harvest hand matter is one
which should be looked after closely
in Ford county this year. The major
part OF the county has the finest
wheat to be found. The prospect
is for an immense crop, and
il should all be saved. There may
be hurried demand for sharvest
hands, and arrangements should be
made in advance for securing them.

JUNE TERM COURT
Some Important Criminal Cases TO be
Tried Here Week After Next at
District Court

AT the June term Of the district
court, week after next there will be
some half dozen criminal cases, which
is something unusual in this county.
The two cases that have attracted the
most general interest are the cases
against John Wells and the one
against Stray Waddell. 1t is under
stood that Wells, who is charged
with the robbery Of $4,000 from the
Baeder home, will plead guilty.
Waddell will no doubt have trial.
So far as known, he has not been
much on pleading guilty in the past.
The Waddell case will perhaps at
tract large crowd to the court
room. This is the Ford bank rob-
berry case, and Waddell is the only
one Of the alleged robbers captured.
He has been identified by the boy
who took the robbers to Ford in an
auto, as one OF the leaders of the
bunch. II this boy Johnnie Now is
here at the trial there will be
strong case against Waddell. II
Now is missing the case will be
weakened somewhat, but Mow's testi-
mony at tie preliminary trial may be
used.
Waddell is being kept at the pen
itentiary ct Lansing until the time Of
his trial, as it was considered dan
gerous undertaking to keep him here
in the county Jail. There will be
money for good defense for Wad-
dell, and it is believed that he has
friends who would aid him in an at
tempt to escape, if convicted.
The parties who robbed the Ed
wards K Nichols store at Spearville
will be tried at the June term, and
also the man who robbed the Locke
home in Dodge City last week.
These men are strangers who were
travelling through the country.

DR.. RAINS WILL COME
Will be In Charge at The Dedication Of the
New Christian Church Here, on July 10

The new Christian church here is
now up to the point when the work
on finishing the interior may be
started. The church when completed
will have seating capacity Of 1000.
There will be seperste room for the
different classesof the Sunday school,
but when the occasion demands, the
entire first floor can be thrown into
one audience room. There will be a
fine dining room and agymnazium
hall in the basement which will be
among the notable features OF the
church. The pastor,M. Lee Sorey
is an untiring worker among the
young people and believes that the
gymnazium will be Of much benefit,
not only to the young peopleof that
particular church, but to those Of the
other Sunday schools who will be
admitted.
The date set for dedicsting The
church is July 10, when the services
will be in charge Of. F M. Rains, Of
CINCINNATI, Ohio, who has, probably
dedicated more churches than any
man living at the present time.

ONE THOUSAND MORE FAR
MERS NEEDED ARE HERE
IN FORD COUNTY
ROOM FOR MORE THAN THAT
It Would Be Possible to Have
100000 acres in Wheat
Farms in Ford

There is an aggregate OF $4,000
acres of wheat in Ford county this
year. At least 10000 acres Of this
is in good condition. Those who
have inspected the wheat fields Of
Kansas say that Ford county mas the
best wheat in the state. A number
Of old wheat farmers say it is the
finest they ever saw. Three weeks Of
suitable weather now will mean a
heavy average yield for the county.
With two more showers Ford ought
to produce over 100000 bushels Of
wheat this year. This would be close
up to the top notch for wheat produc-
tion among the Kansas counties. In
the county there are 100000 acres Of
land. Wheat land could be made Of
100000 acres OF this. At least 300,-
600 acres Of it ought to be in wheat
farms. The county at this time needs
q thousand additional farmers. There
is room for more but we need that
many badly. All that will be neces
sary to secure them, is to induce them
to come here and look at the county.
The crop prospects are considered
remarkable by everyone who sees the
fields. w. a. Lord, who has seen
about all wheat crops ever raised in
Kansas since its early settlement says
that the fields from the Soldiers
Home eastward across the county
the greatest wheat he has eyei
seen. Looking OF the fields ont
would think that it could not be bet
rer. Still, some are of the opinion
that the fields in Bloom township are
the best in the county. F. W. Boyd
was here Saturday from Bloom and
gives a fine report OF the wheat there
He says that Bloom township shipped
out 200 car loads OF wheat last year
and that there will be four times that
amount this wear. That will mean
about half q million bushels OF vile al
for Bloom township alene.
Ford, Bucklin, Sodville, Spearville,
Wheatland and Pleasant Valley have
fine wheat, and from reports the
heavy wheat extends sover about two
thirds Of the county, and the part Of
the county where the large acreage is
to be found. The ouly way person
can be made to realize the magnif.
cence Of the wheat fields OF Ford
county at this time, is by apersonal
inspection Of them There is one
man in Kansas who should be taken
over this county by all means. That
man is F. D. Coburn. He would ap-
preciate the sight more than any other
man on earth.

TWELVE HUNDRED
That Is the Estimated Number Of Harvest
Hands Wanted In Ford County About
June rs

An estimate Of the harvest hands
that Ford county will want furnished
from outside, according to the esti-
mate sent in to Mr.. Harris this week
by ID. Wintamute and county
clerk Uonnaway, is 1900. This is
made with the provision that the
weather is favorable for the crop dur
ing the next three weeks.
According to this estimate there
should be 400 men sent to Spearyille
300 to Dodge City, 200 to Ford and
100 to Bloom. There will also be
about 800 teams needed from outside
Of the county.

FIFTEEN GRADUATES
Large Audience at opera HOnse Fri
day Night Glass Receives Diplo'
mas

Another school year has come to o
close and a larger class than ever
finished the course prescribed in the
curriculum Of the High School. The
final exercises were held in the Opera
House last Friday night in the pres
ence Of a large and appeciative audi
ence, The stage was beautifully
decorated in the class colors, garnet
and cream and the boxes at the sides
and in front wers draped in the
colors OF the classes Of 1911 and 1912.
The entire program as announced
was carried out with the exception OF
The address by Prof. Clarence A.
Dykstre, Of the State University. IT
was his intention to be here but he
was unfortunate in missing his train
at Topeka, and did not arrive in time
for the exercises. The "gap", how
ever, was well filled in by M. Lee
Sorey, Pastor OF the Christian Church
and his address was we'll received.
The music for the occasion was furni-
shed by the Dodge City Orchestra
and vocal numbers by Mrs. O. E.
Smith and a male quartet composed
of. w. Rose, Dillworth Baird, Karl
Miller and Charles Anderson. The
diplomas were presented by Prof.
Mallory who remarked that the class
was Of uniform excellence, it being
difficult to tell who could be said to
rank first, the marks in the final ex-
aminations being so close, for the
whole class. The class was made
up Of the following graduates:
Mary Argabright, Harris Burnett,
Marie Coffey, Laura Johnson, Grace
Key. Florence Kirkpatrick, Marie
Lawrence, Hazel Millikan, Vivian
Martin, Juliet Pettiiohn, Harold
Ripple, Estella Reynolds, Claude
Riney, Edna Snyder and Henry
Wilkes.
8 This is certainly a class OF bright
1oung people who will be heard from
later in the affairs OF the larger life
they are just entering upon. Some
OF them will continue their studies
in the stale schools; some will probabl ly
enter the professional schools; others
will get the polish that comes from
experience in the great university "
practical life. They are all now upon
the threshold Of life but we do not
believe that any one Of them will be
content to clean against the door"

A Poor Argument.

Some of our Republican friends
are making the argument, that
maSmuch as Stubs is to be elect
ed governor again, a fact which
the Democrats do not for a min
ute cOncede, that Barton county
should send a Republican to the
legislature, as he would be in a
better position to do something
than a Democrat would. There is
nothing to this argument, and if
the voters Of this district will
look into the record of the Dem
Ocratic candidate for reelection,
they will find he was right up in
the front ranks of those who were

men out OF every twenty-five re-
fuse to- make the effort, because
they cannot begin at the top or

man in twenty-five learns well at

the steamer, but 1t was finally knocked
down to him at 5000. It is stated to be
his intention to endeavor to raise her and
put her in thorough order for service

what was paid for her and 1t is stated
she can be raised at a comparatively
