Generosity

A story is being told by some
Meade people that sounds something
like this, A man was travelling thru
the country in wagon and had the
misfortune to have one of his horses
struck by lightning, making it nece-
ssary for him to continue his journey
with only one horse. he passed teru
Meade, by some means he got into
a conversation with George DeCow
and the loss Of the horse was menti-
oned, Mr.. DeCow is said to have
told the stranger to go to his place
and get another horse. We did not
learn whittier or not there was any
money connected with the deal OF
whittier it was just some os Georges
generosity. 1t might be well for any
one needing another horse to inves-
tigate this matter as he might ex.
tend his generosity and make some
more donations.

sealed bids were to be opened; bids

Boquets for the
Meade Ladies Band

Probably no organization in the
west leaped into public favor so
quickly as the Meade Ladies
Band. Composed entirely of la
dies under the leadership of
Prof. ]. Won Prosky, a musician
OF unusual ability, the band has
been highly successful. They
have passed into the musicians
class and play real music, and
play it right. Some of'the mem
bers are married, some single,
but all are more or less good
looking, and what ever may be
lacking in youth or beauty is
more than evened up by their
music. The Meade Ladies Band
will play ur.day engagement
at the Dodge City reunion and
will add more boquets to their
collection. .-Bucklin Banner.

may be more fortunate than they
may at first think, at least man
in Kansas City was. This is how
it happened: He was walking
in a crowd on Saturday night
when he felt something strike
against his glasses; which proved
to be the hat-pin of a woman who
turned to speak to friend just
as she passed the man who wore
the glasses. A nick on one of
the lenses convinced the man
what the result would have been
had he not been so fortunate as
to have the glasses to protect his
eyes.

Topeka, August. Z. Reading,
Ritlng and Rithmetic have been
the three r bugaboo of the school
children since the ages but three
more RS are to be added to the
course of study IN Kansas. The
three new ones are Romping,
Running and Resting and these
are to be made important parts
Nof the school work in Kansas
hereafter. 1t is the idea of the
Kansas educators that boys and
girls can do too much stuying and
not be as good men and women
as they should be when they
grow up. A good mind and a
good physical makeup are about
the best anyone can have when
they start in life.
The school teachers are to know
what constitutes good work and
when a boy or girl does not get
out and play at recess it is to be
taken as an indication that they
have not the proper amount of
good red blood in their system
and the teachers are to get these
children out in the air and help
improve their blood. All work
and no play is very bad but too
much play might be a good deal
worse so the educators want the
terchers to get out in the school
yard and direct the play of the
children so that it will do the
most good and not make them
too tired. The children are to be
taught athletics and then how to
rest and it is believed that the
Kansas school children can be
made the best in the country

To The Readers of
The Meade County News

With this issue of The News, we
assum charge editorially and will al
SO have the management of the plant
At a regular meeting Of the Stock
holders of The Meade Publishing
Company on June 10th it was de-
cided to receive sealed bids for the
leasing oil the plant, which bids were
to be opened at an adjourned meet
ing on August 18th; but no bids be-
ing received, the business will be
conducted in the future, the same as
in the past, under the direction of a
board of Directors.
During the time between the
meeting on July roth and August
we have had temporary charge and
the issues during that time will serve
as a sample of what you may ex-
pect in the future. The number of
pages may vary at times, but will
always be the very best that the pat
ronage given will permit. AS busiA
ness increases, so will The News
likewise the reverse. II is our in
tention to give you the very best
paper possible, and fairness to all
will be our aim.
Ever since the founding of the
News by ]. d. Wehrle, in 1900,
we have been more or less about the
office, and frequently during the
time that he was editor, we took
charge for short time, SO our TAX
ing complete charge only differs in
the fact that it will be of longer du-
ration.
G. Q. Wehrle, who has been fore
man of the Globe for the past year,
has been employed to take charge
of the job department. We will en-
deavor at all times to get out all
work promptly and in up-to-date
style.
The progress Of Meade first and
Meade county second will not be
lost sight of and anything for the
up-building and betterment of the
town and county Will willingly be
given mention in the columns of
The News
The paper has enjoyed a liberal
patronage in the past and we ask
continuance of the same in the fu-
ture Tne support of the readers of
The News and others as well, will
at all times be appreciated.
How we'll we succeed is question
which Time will answer; success will
have for its foundation its own mer-
its, as we have as yet, failed to see
where it has ever paid one individ-
ual, company, or corporation to
undertake to build up its own busi-
ness by taring down that of another.
Our policy will be to live and to
let others do likewise.
Respectfully,
Agnes Wehrle.
