challenged. He is forceful

DISTRICT CLERK.
A very important Office in that
of Clerk of the District Court.
1t is he who has charge of the
papers, documents and records
of the District Court Not only
is it his duty to keep and pre-
serve the Court records, but he
has many other duties to per-
form, such as fixing and approx
ing bonds in civil cases, and in a
great many criminal cases as
well, in the matter of naturaliza-
tion of foreigners, homestead fill
ings, final proofs, contests, etc.
We think it is not saying too
much to observe that Mr.. Elliott
is more familiar with the laws of
naturalization and laws and prac-
tice pertaining to the United
States Land Office, than any law
yer in the County. We have
heard it said by competent au-
thority that Mr.. Elliott IS the
best Clerk of Court in the 31st
Judicial District, and that is say
ing good deal. His records
are models for accuracy and COM
pleteness, and he is thoroughly
familiar with all the duties that
pertain to his Office. He is a
thorough gentlemen and no more
accommodating man ever broke

Voters should remember that

Voters should remember that
the selection of County officers
should be business, and not d
political proposition: that a
county officer is nothing more or
less than an employe of the peo-
pie and the same rules should
govern in selecting county Of
ficer that apply IN employing
any other help: thatis, that the
fitness of the individual for the
job should be the test, rather
than his political affiliations.
For Sheriff the democrats have
put forth Tom Martin of Fow
ler. Tom is brother of Maggie
Martin (now Mrs. Morrison)
who so successfully filled the Of
flee of County Superintendent
for two terms a few years ago,
and if Tom makes as good sher-
iff as Maggie did Superintendent
the people will be satisfied. Tom
is good, clean, straight, we'll
met, jolly fellow, with the map
of old Ireland plainly marked on
his face. He is one of the old
est of old timers and has the re-
spect and confidence of all who
have known him. He is cool
headed, resourceful, courageous,
honest and intrepid, d,-and in short
possesses all the qualifications
of good sheriff. Vote for Tom
Martin and you will make no
mistake.

to support Mr.. A. Albertson Of
Fowler township. Mr.. Albert
son is a very pleasing gentleman,
a man of strict integrity, a
farmer by occupation, and has
had considerable experience in
the mercantile business. No
more competent or safer man
can be found with whom to in
trust the county funds. No man
stands higher in the estimation
of those who konw him, and
should he fail of election it can
be attributed to but one thing,
namely, that his business in
terests have kept him so busy
that he has not had time to see
and get acquainted with the
voters.
REPRESENTATIVE
The democrats have a very
strong candidate for representa-
tive in the person of H. Llewelyn
Jones. Mr.. Jones has practised
law in Kansas for quarter of a
century and as a lawyer he has
state reputation. No one ques-
tons the ability of Mr.. Jones to
make good in the legislature if
given the opportunity: no one
questions his honesty or integ-
rity, and no one need tear, that
with Mr.. Jones in the legislature
the interests of Kansas in gene
raj and Meade County is particu-
lar will not be looked after.
There is quite prevalent
opinion that man, to be quail
fed to enact laws, should know
something about law. Mr.. Jones
fine legal ability will be of in
estimable value in the legislature,
as there is no danger of any

COUNTY ATTORNEY.

Frank S. Sullivan is one of the
old newcomers, having located
in Meade County in June, 1902.
He came here under contract, to
work for Edwards & Baughman,
then a real estate firm in Plains.
for two months only, but was so
impressed with the possibilities
of Meade County that he decided
to remain. A glance at the Dis
trict Court Bar docket will show
that Mr.. Sullivan has appeared
in more cases in the last six
years than any other attorney
practising in this court, which
certainly speaks well for him, as
the people should not be willing
to trust the important business
of the County with an inexperi-
enced lawyer, or with a lawyer
of such doubtful ability that liti-
gants are unwilling to trust their
private law suits with. The

Initials Carry Weiaht.

q didn't know you had so many initials said one man to another who had been lucky enough to secure an interview with the capitalist. q nearly dropped over when you told the boy J. K. H. Allen wished to see the boss What do they all stand for?"
 Nothing" said the man of many initials. "J for John is the only one have a right to. The rest are added just for effect. It was on the strength of those extra initials that I got to see my man. A string of letters will secure you an interview most any where; not printed on a card-never send in your card if you are unknown and not properly introduced-but spoken, and with emphasis. Be sure of the emphasis, J. K. H., just like that, so the boy will think you are somebody and will take care to repeat those blessed initials with the same force. Not one man in a million will turn you down if you can get yourself announced that way"

BEE THE FARMERS FRIEND
In Cultivation of Fruit and Seed Crops, Busy Insect Is an Invaluable
 Aid.

Beekeeping is a valuable aid in the cultivation of fruit and seed crops. In sects which feed on nectar play an i'm portant part in the fertilization oi flowers. Fertilization is effected fn other ways, but the agency of insects is the more certain and efficacious and no other insect is comparable with the honey bee in this respect.
 A strong hive contains 10000 bees in February, 15,000 in March, 4O,OOO in April, and from 60,000 to S0,O00 in May. It has been discovered by skill full observers that the average load of nectar carried to the hive by a bee is about three-tenths of a grain, so that the collection of one pound Of nectar requires nearly 23,000 forag- ing excursions,
 By means of hives set on balances it has been found that the daily in crease in weight in May averages 3.3 pounds. Occasionally, more than II pounds is gained in one day; and when the amount consumed by the bees and the loss of weight by evap- oration are considered, it appears probable that the average daily quan- tity of nectar collected is not less than II pounds, which would load 250,00O bees.
 As bee visits ten flowers on the average in collecting a single load, some 2,500,000 flowers are visited in one day by the bees of single hive. An additional large number of ylslts is required for the collection of pollen.
 These figures explain why many trees and plants bear small crops In the absence of bees.
 The bee is charged with various imaginary crimes It's sting is formid- able. but chiefly to the imprudent. It is accused of ravaging fruit, but It's tongue is formed exclusively for the extraction of sweet juices, and US mandibles are unable to pierce the skin of a fruit.-Cosmos.

Giants Feared DWarfs.

In the seventeenth century all the abnormally large and small folks of Austria were assembled in Vienna in response to whim of the empress. As circumstances required that all should be housed in one building there was fear that the imposing propor- tions of the giants would terrify the dwarfs. But the dwarfs leased and tormented the giants so that these overgrown mortals complained with tears in their eyes and as a conse- quence sentinels had to be placed to protect the giants from their pygmy prosecutors. For the smallest men had the biggest brains and the long. est tongues.

Use of Flow in City Streets was Something that He Could Not
 Understand.

The other day an agricultural per son from south Jersey, characterls- tically arrayed in elongated boots, trailing whiskers and a 1908 crop of hair, broke into the gladsome zone at the foot of Market street and after taking several hard elders to satisfy himself that he was no longer in local-option territory, he started to climb the Market street hill.
 He had not proceeded far before he came upon Contractor Vare's men, who were tearing up the street pre- paratory to laying the wooden block pavement, and, seeing a team of in apparent astonishment. First he looked, and then he looked again, and, scratching that part of his head where the hard cider was beginning to buzz, wabbled over to policeman with a perplexed expression.

 Tt sure is," replied the policeman, with an indulgent smile Why do you ask?"

New York Cotton Futures.
New orlenn. Cotton Market

New Orleans. November 3-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of to points Cables were just about as ex- pected but the weather map was fav- orable and a moderate amount of selling served to cause prices to sag After the call commission houses began to receive buying orders from outside traders which checked the decline and made first prices the lowest in the early trading. The buying appeared to be based on the smaller movement and somewhat better demand for spot cotton in the interior. At the end of the first half hour of bus mess the trading months were 10 points up from the lowest
 The market was very steady from the middle of the morning as the result of several estimates of the total crop from experts in the interior These guesses ranged from about 10.75O000 to 11,250.000 bales, and were immediately wired out to traders in New York and Liverpool by loca. brokers with comment to the effect that they looked more reasonable than the estimates of 12,500,0 900 to 13000 900 bales that have been the fashion of late. There was little cotton for sale toward noon and prices rose until they were l5 points up from the lowest and to 10 points over yesterdays close. At noon the market was quiet at the highest lev els of the morning. In the afternoon ses- sion the market retained its good tone.
