COUNTY sUpERlHTEnOENTs ASSOCIATION

The meeting of the county superin-
tendents of Colorado in Denver. March
% and 20 proved very helpful and sug.
gestive to the numerous members of
tina. Association present.
Governor Shafroth's address Of We'll
come" was especially instructive. He
spoke at some length on the School
lands Of Colorado; the acreage in the
neighborhood Of 100000; the income
derived from them in this state as com
pared to other states, and finally, the
methods and plans of the land board to
make them produce as much as possible
for our schools.
Other addresses Of interest during the
association were: "Elementery Agricul-
ture" by C. n. Hinman Of the State Ag-
.ricultural college; "Recent School Leg
isla ion" by Supt. Madrid of Trinidad
Campaign OF health in the schools" by
c. E, Chadsey of Denver; "Boy Scouts
Of America" by. F. j. Romanes; "Group-
ing of districts for the purpose of Sup
ervision" by Supt. Shriber of Boulder;
Ondoubtly the lecture by Milton II Pot-
ter Of Pueblo on "Education for Efficien-
~ versus Education for culture gave
the most pleasure. Snpt. Pottert per-
sonality and magnetism holds his hear
ers From the first word to the last.
Most of these addresses were followed
by general discussions which we're help
full to ell.
On Wednesday afternoon. ths officers
for the next year were chosen. Supt.
Phillips Of Otero was made president OF
the association. Marie Donahue OF Tel
Ter, Secretary; Sarah Easterly OF Gun
nison, Treasurer. and on the Executive
Committee with the State Superintend-
ent, Helen M. Wixon, were elected Supt
Phillips of Otero, Clara M. KERN of Ell

H. G. Marshall, with Editors
Fuhr of the Globe and Miller of
The News as auxiliary boosting
committee.
With such a committee there
is no doubt successful fair can
be held.
Another proposition was dis
cussed, being the matter of hold
ing a special sale every Satur-
day. J. 1. Stamper suggested
that the best scheme he had ever
seen tried to induce people to
come to town was by means of
an auction sale. The plan is to
have two or more stores of differ
ent kinds turn their stock over
to an auctioneer for an hour-or
an hour and a half and 1T the
people buy at their own price,
This seemed to be satisfactory,
and committee consisting of j.
F. Shafer, E. w. Fletcher and
J. B. Miller were appointed to
take the matter up and work out
the plan. This will no doubt
give the people some cheap goods
but as an advertising medium
there can be no limit to the value.
This meeting being well at
tended and interest in the town
aroused as never before there is
sure to something happen'in the
near future. All that is neces-
sary to make Meade one of the
best towns in the west is con-
certed action and disposition on
the part of our people to forge to
the front. This disposition was
strongly in evidence. Meade was
good town when other towns in
this part of the country were but
whistling stations and why should

it not maintain the lead? Abso-
lutely no reason. We are free to
predict that not only will she do
this but so far outclass all others
that they will only be recognized
as being near Meade.
With the two railroads seeking
admittance, "a big county fair this
fair this fall, and the desire on
the part of our merchants to
make inducements so strong
that the farmers will feel that
they cannot afford to go else
where to trade, the business and
growth of the town will expert
ence such an increase as will be
fully in keeping with the sur
rounding country the best upon

TALKED RAILROADS
AND A COUNTY FAIR
Meade Commercial Club Holds Rousng Meeting Discusses Tw
Fair and Plans for Trade Extension
Arrange Fair and Sale Days
to Keep in Communication with Railroad Promoters

two railroads we're knocking for
admittance, and the question OF
a county fair was before the
club.
The railroads were given first
place on the program, and Sec
retary Leo. P. McMeel, who by

Club ever had, read the PROPOSE.
tions.
The first one was a new deal,
the reason for which was a re-
quest that the matter "be kept
out OF the papers" We shall
respect the desire of the promo
ters, but will say that it is a
trunk line running north and
south, and that $50 miles of the
road are not in operation. This
road asks $1,000 per mile aid
bonds through the county, dona-
ton of right of-way, and bonus
from the county seat. The pro-
position has not as yet been in
vestigated, but if it is possible
to secure such a line we would
be willing to give them all the
aid necessary. There is dis

The most largely attended and
enthusiastic meeting ever held
but the Meade Commercial Club
occurred at Phelps opera house
last Thursday evening.
The respite occasioned by the
revival meeting and the scarlet
fever did not in any way affect
the organization, and it is today
in better working condition than
at any previous time.
VonProsky's band played sew
sral pieces in front of the hall,
and when the crowd had gath
cred went inside and played. In
one piece there is pause in the
music and the boys gave three
cheers for the Commercial Club.
At the close of the selection the
Club gave three rousing cheers
for the VonProsky band. This
started the enthusiasm and it
continued until ad djournment.
The meeting was called TO
order by President o. R. Stew
ems, who stated that there were
three important questions before
the meeting, and explained that
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1911-03-23

position on the part of some peo-
pie to look with disfavor on such
a proposition, but they should
remember that in reality this is
only a loan, as the taxes paid by
the road in the county will in
time return to the county the
amount given, after which time
these taxes will be gain to the
county. Figuring thus the great
benefit to the town and county
of such a road will be clear gain.
The next proposition to be
considered was the w. S & G..
railroad. Interest was not so
keen in this line, but we believe
it was because the plan was not
so we'll understood and not as
definite as it might have been.
The towns north and east of here
are going after this line and
wherever Investigations have
been made the people are fully
satisfied, that not only will the
road be built but that it will
work much to the advantage of
the country. AS will be seen in
another column, the Greensburg

Commercial Club have made an
exhaustive search for facts and
have started to work to do their
part. We should like to see this
road receive careful considera-
tion at the hands of our people,
as the route seems very plausi-
BILE, and indications are that is a
good proposition.
The third proposition was the
county fair. It did not take long
to get this settled. Not a per-
son present doubted the ability
to pull off county fair, or the
benefit of it be derived there
from, not alone to the farmer,
stockman and citizens of the town
but the entire county and the
southwest.
The only debatable question
was the best method to pursue
in organizing. After some dis
cussion it was decided toappoint
a committee to devise ways and
means, and the president ap-
pointed as such committee ]. l.
