POOR DOPE.

1t the reports which we have
been reading in the daily press
about the rain fall are all like
the report in the Wednesday edi-
ton Of the Hutchinson Gazette
under Great Bend date line,
there has been no rain fall
worthy of mention. Under the
date of July 18th said, "Rain
is falling here steadily this after
noon and night breaking a
drOuth that has greatly injured
growing crops. The latter part
OF the sentence is correct, but so
lar as the first statement is con-
cerned, it is wrong. We were
here all afternoon, neither asleer
blind or drunk, and there was
no rain. About nine thirty in
the evening it attempted to
sprinkle, but that was as far as
II got. You could possibly dis
tlnguish a little moisture on a
board, but no place else. This
sort OF newspaper correspondence
does a community more harm
than it does good.

Three times in one day was

robbed at Wichita yesterday. He
had $2l3 when the day begun. He
landed in Hutchinson with
the fragmentary change of $500.
and was glad he said. to get
away with his hat and clothes.
Howard, who had lately been
IN Missouri. reached Hutchinson
today on his way 'hOme to Paw
nee Rock. To Deputy Sheriff
Elmer Weber he told his story
which is certainly interesting.
" Yesterday morning | run A.
cross fellow at Wichita who
touched me for a loan of$lOO."
said Howard. "IIe looked all
right and | let him have the
money, on what [ thought was
good security. 1t didn't take
me long to find out that he was
no good and my money was gone.

sorry for me however. and gave
me back So. Then after he left

40 BUSHELS PER ACRE.

Frank Belt can undoubtedly
boast of having the best yield Of
wheat in Barton county this
year. He had a ten acre patch
OF ground which he did not use
last year for some cause or other
but had it plOwed IN the spring.
just before wheat seeding time, h
had it plOwed again and put wheat
IN it When he threshed the
other day that patch of ten acres
turned out 40 bushels to an acre,
and the grain was nice and
plump. We doubt if there is an
other t>eld in this part of the
state turns out this well.--Pawnet

Potatoes And Reciprocity.

Canada raised about 95 mil

little over a fourth as many as
were produced in the United
States. This year, with the
crop a partial or complete fail
ure over a lagre portion of the
United States, and potatoes worth
S2 a bushel or more, it is to be
hoped that Canada will have a
big yield and that the reciprO-
city treaty will become effective

the state of Kansas loses one of
is very best citizens. Alex Mitch
eli was the first member of the
majority side of the house in the
legislature of 1909 it was our
fortune to become acquainted
with. barring one or two whom
we had personally known for
some time. 1t was to Alec Mitch
ell and a few others that we al
ways went with OurtrOubleS when
matters were not going right for
lis. and it was always this same
man that was more than willing
at all times to assist us. and TO
a great degree we owe what little
success we may have attained in
that session.
In his passing we are reminded
of the futility of striving for
worldly hOnOrS. After having
shaped his course for several
years with an eye on a seat in
congress and after having gone
through a strenuous campaign
for the nomination. which an in
innate friend of Mitchell's stated
on he floor of the legislature last
fall cost Mitchell $1,000. he is
stricken down at the very be-
ginning of his congressional ca
reer. Kansas has lost good cit
lzen. the people of the second con
greSsiOnal district representa-
tive who would have made good
IN the halls of congress, and those
who knew him have lost a valua-
Bile friend.
