HAVE $1,000
FOR MONUMENT
Woodbridge Fund is Growing
--Need $4,000.
speo.a, to sas EVENING NEWS.

Woodbridge, Nov. 15:-Little has
been said of late regarding the sol
diers and sailors monument, al
though the committee is still receiv-
ing subscriptions. The amount on
hand at the present time by Treas
urer James e. Berry is estimated to
be about two thousand dollars. Sub
scriptions are not coming In as fast
as expected.
Three thousand dollars is about
the amount required by the general
committee, of which H. e. King is
chairman, to complete all plans for
the unwilling of the monument. If
this amount "a be secured Wood
bridge can look for a gala day, a day
which will long be remembered by
our townspeople. Some time ago 1t
was planned to hold q grand parade
in the afternoon and a carnival in
the evening with the addition of
fireworks displays.
The monument, q very beautiful
one, has been completed by Jardine,
of Railway, and Is In his possession.
The base for the monument at the
corner of Railway avenue and Main
street is nearly completed by John
Treen, mason. 1t has been reported
by n of the right and design COM
mitteemen that the monument will
be erected within the course of three
weeks and will be dedicated In the
month of next May.
Now citizens of Woodbridge 1t Is
up to you to help make this event a
gala one. Send in your subscrip-
tions, large or small will be cheer
fully received. Each and, every one
subscribing towards the monument
Will receive a handsome certificate
with the monument thereon. Wood
bridge is known as a grand old land
mark where many of our dead sol
diers stopped during the great wars
OF the past. George Washington,
one of the greatest of men, stopped
here fully ten days with q regiment
of his men at the large Lansley
building on the corner of Green
street and Railway avenue, known
as the Landmark and Liberty pole.
The Cross Key tavern at Perth Am
boy avenue and Main street is an
other stopping place, with the addi-
ton of many others, and why should
Woodbridge not be up with the
times and erect this remembrance
for the men who lost their lives to
save this free country?
The monument, already complet-
ed, stands eighteen feet high, with a
large bronze eagle at the top, with
an inscription on one side. The
monument Is constructed of granite.
At the unwilling of this statue it is
planned to have a well-known and
highly. honored speaker to deliver
an address on this occasion.

For some time the papers have
been booming the Winnipeg, Sa-
lima & Gulf railroad, and stating
that the line was to traverse
Meade county, but until few
days ago nothing definite con-
corning the road had been heard
here. However the promoters
have gotten this far and The
News is in receipt of letter
from the president OF the road
asking that the paper take the
matter up and find out whether
or not the people here are inter-
ested in the road.
The road as outlined will run
from Turon via Greensburg,
Ashland, Meade, Ulysses, Rich

Morton county and thence to
Des Moines, New Mexico. The

In his article this week Mr..

In his article this week Mr..
Denslow denies every statement
made by The News in regard to
the parcels post, and then asks
why we did not answer his for
mer article. Right here we wish
to say that we are not trying to
convince anyone against his will.
Every man has a right to his
opinion and a newspaper has
right to its views the same as an
individual. We did not start out
to engage in "a long drawn out
argument as to the merits of the
parcels post and merely exer-
cised our right to give our ver-
sion of the matter. The public
may believe as little or as much
as pleases them, and we will not
object. We have not the space
to devote to long argument
every time we express an opin-
ion. We realize that there are
those who cannot agree with us,
and respect their right to differ.
We do not care to argue this
matter with Mr.. Denslow and
hope he will not criticise us for
not doing so. We have extended
him the courtesy of space for his
side of the argument and we are
willing to let the public Judge,
rather than try to contradict him.
The parcels post argument is
now closed. Should we express
ourself further our readers may
take our word for the truth of
the statements or investigate the
matter for himself.

Better Farming" Train.

Leo P. McMeel, secretary of
the Commercial club is in receipt
of a letter from L. M. Allen of
the agricultural department of
the Rock Island, stating that
Prof. H. M. Cottrell, agricultural
commissioner of that road will
run a Better Farming train
through the southwest, stopping
at every station The date will
be announced in good time and
every farmer should take advan-
tage OF the opportunity. Con-
corning the train Mr.. Harris
says:
professors from the Kansas
Agricultural College will accom-
pany this train and will lecture
at each station. Separate cars
win be provided for men and
women and special car will also
be provided for the school chill
dren and we want not only the
men and women but the children
as well to attend these lectures.
Everyone is welcome and we
hape that they will come out in
large numbers to meet this train
on it's arrival in Meade. If the
Commercial club will take this
matter up through your leading
county papers and let the. farm
ers know that this train is COM
ing the latter part of this month,
we believe that hundreds of peo-
pie would attend these lectures"
Watch for the date which will
be published in The News.

How to Keep Boys on the Farm.

law ~ AeSSE ASJc SAA $50 = - ~~As
W. T. May, a farmer in the
Milo neighborhood, has solved
the problem of keeping the boys
on the farm. He has several
great big hard working boys, and
this year he gave them tract of
eighteen and one-half acres of land
to cultivate to suit themselves.
They planted the land in cotton
and last Saturday the boys we're
in Silverton with the last of the
crop. Here's what they made;
Cotton $612; cotton seed to sell,
go bushels at 80 cents per BUSH
ell, SIT. Total on less than 19
acres, $3.50. This money belongs
to the boys and you couldn't pull
them off the farm with log
chain and yoke of steers. Right
here we would suggest that if
every farmer in Texas will do as
Mr.. May has done there will be
fewer boys leading precarious
lives in large cities.-Amarilla
Times.

the organization along the line
is completed.
We have turned the letter over

If the proposition looks good

no doubt but what Meade car
