A. E. Norman of Wheeling, Mis-
souri,, is here with his wife, the
guest of !. R. Graves and wife this
week Mr.. Norman recently
bought the E. w. jenkins farm
south of town and he is looking
after his alfalfa crop.
Mrs. Brown of ingalls,, Kan
sas, with her little grandson,
Donald Goddard, accompanied
Mr.. Goddard down and are
guests of Judge Randolph this
week. Mr.. Goddard's differ
ent mercantile establishments
keep him pretty busy and his
auto on the road great deal of
the time.
The report from all parts of
the county as to wheat condi-
tions is very flattering. The
recent gentle rains and con-
tinued damp weather with a
moderately cool temperature is
making the plants stool very
heavy. Barley and oats, as we'll
as speltz are also reported above
the acreage generally over the
county.
Eber Ellis and family came in
from Oklahoma, Friday of last
week, and are visiting relatives
and friends. Eber likes Meade
better than ever, and will likely
make his home with us again.
Eber and his wifegrew up here
from childhood and it is hard to
take that sort of people away
from Meade and have them re-
main. Their host of friends
hope that they will find a bus
ness location soon and again be
one of us.
One of the homeiest homes in
town is that OF. Comrade C. P.
Fletcher on east Carthage
avenue. The grounds are ample
and he with the assistance of his
son and advice of his wife. has
planned it, plantedit and cared
for it in the old style. 1t has
not the rare plants nor geomet-
ric lines of the work done by the
landscape gardener On the
contrary it has more the appear
ence of nature, with its mixture
of shrubs and plants which carry
one back to the old home beyond
the Missouri.
B. l. VanHoesen living east of
town has no business.but farm
ing, and nothing to do but work.
The result is that his farm is
always in good order and his
crops out in good time. In adj
dition to his other large farming
operations, this spring he has
broken out Zoo acres of sod, and
has that ready for kafir corn,
millet and cane. Van does
not own a steam plow but he has
81 head of fine horses on the
farm, apd with what he has
broken Of them manages to keep
his blowing and seeding done in
good time. Mr.. VanHoesen has
made all that he has farming
there, having begun on his home
stead with no great amount of
either money or property. It
pays to farm in Meade county.

We notice that several parties
have planted trees of Arborvita
this spring. This, the white
cedar, is a fine evergreen, one
at is easily trimmed into any
desired shape and is a fine tree
on the lawn, or slightly hedge
when so planted and trimmed.
These trees we're sold by Mr..
E. C. Peck of Kingman, who has
a nursery where he grows them.

DIAMOND TO CHURCH
Former Baseball Umpire Viii
Become a Priest in
Catholic Church.
HE LEARNED SELF.CONTROL

Hutchinson. Kan. June 27.-Having
serious doubts as to whether he really
was fit TO enter the priesthood of the
Roman Catholic church. even after ha
had completed his studies at the Ken
ilworth seminary. ]. j. o'Reilly evoly-
ed most unusual test.
Realizing tina, the life he was about
TO enter upon was one of continual
self sacrifice and repression, from
which there could be no alternative he
determined to And out whether he was
master of himself to the extent he be-
lieved he should be. but the question
troubled him and for weeks he was un.
able to meet it with an answer.
AT college O'Reilly took great inter-
est in baseball. This was at St Bene-
diets college. at Atchison. Kan. While
attending this school he met Blaine
Durbin. formerly pitcher for the Chi
cage Nationals. and the two became
| friends. O'Reilly umpired many
games. and he got away good. No one
ever kicked on his decisions. At Kenil-
worth college. st. Louis. he again be-
came an umpire. He had steady
eye. knew the game thoroughly. and
! he was a student of human nature
O'Reiliy finally decided that he
would get into professional ball. II
| he could withstand the wrath of \
professional ball player without anger
ranking in his heart surely he would
be fit for the priesthood, for no per-
son in the world has SO thankless q
| job as the umpire.
So under the name of Phillips. he APP
piled to President Hostutler OF the
Kansas State league for position on
the umpiring staff. Western Kansas
crowds do not hesitate to tell an UNI
pire what they think OF him when his
decisions are not up to the standard.
If he hears no kicks it is a sign that
he is making good. Phillips as an
umpire has been a success. The play
ers like him and seldom object to his
decisions.
