What will the year nineteen
eleven bring to Meade? This
question should be uppermost in
the mind of every citizen of the
town. 1t is up to us to be up and
doing that the year just ushered
in will stand as banner year in
in the towns history as one OF
progress and advanCemement.
Last year saw much accomplish
ed. A successful carnival was
held, an electric light plant was
installed, an elevator was built,
a large mum Der of residences
were erected and big improve
ment made in the business sec
ton Of the town. A Commercial
Club was organized and through
it's efforts much new business
was brought to the town. Sew
eral new business institutions
were established, are in flourish
ing condition, and our merchants
are in good shape, Every bust
ness in town should expand dur
ing the year 1911. The pros
poets never were brighter or
conditions more favorable for
growth than at this time. Great
er confidence in the future of the
town is shown by the way in
which the light plant was financ-
ed, and this show on the part of
those who know what to expect
cannot help but convince outside
capital that this is safe place
to invest. All the needed insti-
tutions cannot be built with
home capital, but as those most
necessary have been so financed
it is part of our duty to see
that persons looking for the OPP
portunity of establishing the
institutions need hear of the adj
vantages offered here, and lend
all possible assistance in getting
them to come our way. The
Commercial Club should have Il
greater membership, and more
interest should be taken in its
meetings. During the rush of
business incident to the holiday
season the Club has not been
very active, but since this season
is past there is no reason why a
large attendance cannot be had.
The fair proposition is ever be-
fore us. No great amount of
money would be required for the
venture, and properly managed
it could be made to pay good re-
turns on the investment. There
is not room in this territory for
many fairs and if Meade county
wants to have fair we must not
wait until some other town beats
us to it. The time is ripe for
the launching of this project and
we hope to see some move made
at an early date, Yes, there is
much to be done the coming year
and we serve notice now that
the motto snake Meade Move"
will be much in evidence during
the year 1911.

If Hutchinson keeps on going
in 1911 as she has the past year
Wichita will have to get a move
on or she will land in second
place.
The cold wave reached Meade
ahead of the schedule and Mon
day morning the thermometer in
front of The News Office regist-
cred five below. We are inform
ed that other instruments went
as low as eight. It was cold
unusually cold for this country
and some snow fell Sunday. 1t
is the first real cold weather so
far this winter and has been ex-
pected for some tirfie.
J. 1. Stamper is back from
Larned, where he attended the
meeting of the State Auctioneers
Association. Jim came in for
several mentions in the news
paper write-up of the meeting.
The invitation to hold the next
meeting here was extended by
Mr.. Stamper, but those present
decided it would be for the best
interests of the organization to
hold it at more central point
and Topeka was chosen.
The Union Revival meetings
will close Sunday night. The
subjects have been announced as
follows: Friday night "The
Greatest Question; Saturday
night "Repentence". There will
be three services Sunday. The
closing days should see a still
greater attendance and interest
and only through the co-opera-
ton of all Christian people
is this possible. Come out and
assist with your presence and
influence.

PUMPKIN CENTERP1EcE OF CRAPS PAPER
For a thing Of apparently so stolid
a nature the pumpkin lends itself to
an astonishing number OF decorative
effects. Inventive hostesses are con
stantly finding new uses for it ~
Thanksgiving festivities. One young
married woman used a middle sized
specimen last year as foundation for
lovely centerpiece FOR her table
There were fifteen guests. These
and her husband and herself made
seventeen at table. She cut seventeen
tiny holes in the pumpkin and in each
hole stuck long stemmed yellow
chrysanthemum. pushing it in SO that
the flower rested on the pumpkin rind
The centerpiece looked like an i'm
nense fluffy chrysa hcmum and was
much admired. II fewer flowers are
to be used a small pumpkin should be
chosen. Very novel and effective Is the
pumpkin centerpiece seen in the illus
tration. Grape paper and artificial au

still they are King Of a necessary nu-

to eat last night, is putting it mild
