RECENT MARRIAGES

Last Saturday Charlie Ridgway
stole a march on his friends and
went to Hays and was married to Mrs.
Nettie McCrumb of Lincoln. We are
unacquainted with any of the details
of this wedding as well as the bride,
hence cannot give very satisfactory
write-up, but we are sure that Mrs.
Ridgway will prove to be a very
charming woman for we know that
Charlie. would not make a choice
otherwise. Mr.. Ridgway is clerk of
the District Court of this place and
is widely and fayorably known
throughout Trego county, and has a
host of friends who will be pleased to
learn of this very happy occurrence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ridgway will occupy
the Porter residence in the east part
of town next spring. The World,
with friends, extends congratulations.
Last Sunday evening there occurred
in the city of Denver very pretty
home wedding when Miss Mabel
Irene Duggan, daughter of Col. and
Mrs. Duggan, was united in marriage
to Mr.. w. S. Berwick of Wa-Keeney.
The ceremony was Solemized by Rev.
George Boone Van Arsdale, pastor of
the Central Christian Church in the
presence of relatives and friends.
The bride is well known in the social
and business circles of Denver and is
highly esteemed by all who know her.
Mr.. Berwick has been foreman of the
World office for several months and
has made number of warm friends
in our little city. His habits of in
dustry and good qualities in general
have won the respect of those about
him. Mr.. and Mrs. Berwick were the
recipients of numerous beautiful
and useful presents. The World is
glad to welcome them to Wa-Keeney
and extends heartiest congratulations
wishing them much Joy, happiness
and prosperity throughout their
welded life.

The Scott City Northern train from
Winona to Scott City had quite an
experience the other night. The
train left Russell Springs about $3.50
for Winona and when it had covered a
distance of fourteen miles, the engine
showed it nose into a huge snowdrift
and stuck right there. Every effort
known to man was used to free it
from its fetters of snow, but to no
avail. For twenty four-hours, or
uutil 10 O'Clock the next morning,
passengers and crew waited and
worked and hoped that they would
against them.
Between Russell Springs and Win
ona there is only one house on the
line of the road. That made the
passengers and the crew marooned
seven miles from anywhere and with
nothing to eat. Not even the Gus
tomary s'newsy" with his wares was
abroad the marooned train. But
ssjoys of joys there was a coop of
from Scott City to Winona- The
passenger and crews sailed in, clean
ed the chickens and roasted them to
a nut brown over the hot Goals in the
firebox of the engine A refused
cheese being returned to the whole
sale house was eaten with relish.
At last when the gray light of the
dawn was creeping over the landscape
the telephone wire was tapped
assistance sent from Winona and the
passengers and crew conveyed to
town with teams

The Tax Situation

Billy Palmer of the Jewel Repub-
lican, after reading the official state
ment sent out by the State Tax Com
mission, wisely comments as follows
on the steady increase in taxes:
During the past nine years taxes
have increased in Kansas A percent
That is big increase and it locks
like we ought to jump onto some
body about it; but when we look into
the matter we are astonished to find
that we did it ourselves. The closer
home we come the greater the in
crease. Notice this: State taxes
have increased emitting fractions,
IA percent, county, township tax SO
per cent, city tax 81 per cent, school
tax IS per cent. Increase on total
tax A per cent Think it over,
brethren. If we are getting the
worth of our money, lets count it a
good Investment and smilingly pay
the bill Ii not, lets blame ourselves
and remember that nobody else has
any power to remedy it"

The Editor

Allegorically speaking, the editor
is happy medium between a soup
bone and porterhouse steak. No
body ever saw rich editor and on
the other hand no one every encoun-
tered an editor who didn't head every
subscription paper in circulation
with donation of four bits and a
stub pen- The editor is said to be-
long to the fourth estate because that
is the only kind he ever leaves. He
is also one of the most cheerful and
overworked prevaricators now pass
ing as legal tender He has to be.
Whenever girl with face like a
cream puff marries a youth who never
earned a dime outside of the shoot
ing gallery, the editor has to paint
the bride as a radiant vision of blush
ing beauty and the groom as one of
our rising young business men or else
disappoint an expectant circle of de-
linquent subscribers. If the editor
fails to spread two-column obituary
over the death of prominent citizen
who never paid a grocery bill outside
of the justice court, he is liable to be
waited on by some two fisted relative
with an injured air and a punch in
either hand. 1t has been libelously
reported that the editors diet is con-
fined mainly to sight drafts and sum-
mer squash taken on subscriptions,
but he appears to be as resigned to
his lot as the man whose wife has
gone to the seashore and the only
thing that can cause him to change
his occupation is sheriff's sale or an
untimely DEATH Few editors go the
case nowadays and set up their edit

OBITUARY

Ella A. Bryant, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. E. F. Bryant, was born on
the family homestead near Wa-Kee-
ney. Kansas, April 10, 1880. Married
to David E. Cypher, November 30,
1899. Died at St. Joseph Hospital,
Kansas City, Mo-, December 81, 1911,
aged 81 years, eight months and
eleven days.
Although wholly unexpected, the
news of the death of Mrs. Cypher
came as a schock to many of her
friends. 1t was known that her con-
dition was serious but in the hope
that it would yield to hospital treat
ment she was taken there about
three weeks ago, where everything
that the most expert skill could sug-
gest was done to alleviate her suffer
ing, but to no avail. The body was
brought to Wa-Keeney last Friday
morning and on account of the most
impossible condition of the country
roads was taken to the residence of
A. p. HinShaw in this city. Funeral
services, conducted by Rev. s. L..
Allison, were held there Saturday
AnoIiiiHS, loiIO"ou Oy AhCOI luoHO aC
the Wa-Keeney cemetery. Coming
at any time in life, death is always
sad but most especially so when a
young wife and mother is taken. Her
parents, sister and brother, and the
bereaved husband and his four young
children have the sincere sympathy
of a large circle of friends among
whom the deceased was held in
hig hest esteem. Born and reared in
this community she will here be long
remembered for her many virtues
and endearing character.

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, Decem-
Der 20, 1911.
The holiday yesterday worked in
two ways against any big trade in
cattle this week, The market was
closed in observation as Christmas,
and shippers in the country likewise
celebrated the day, and there was
small amount of loading Six thou
sand cattle had to fill the bill here
to-day, and it was about enough.
The market advanced 25 to so cents
last week, and it looked like ten to
fifteen higher to-day at the start, but
steady to ten higher was the best the
statesmen would call it. Buyers want
weight, and for prime heavy steers
there is competition. A New York
buyer took the top load here to-day
at $500, 1850 lbs. Warmed up steers
sold downwards to $3.50 Some
ChickaSha, Oklahoma steers sold at
$3.50, and other fed quarantine steers
brought $500. Heavy native cows
easily get up to five $500, the best at
S5.35, and prime heifers sell at 800.
High corn causes feeders to hesitate,
cattle for some months ahead is at
tractive, and good feeders bring S.. 25
and upwards to $500. Stock cattle
sell at $3.50 to $3.50 for the best,
though some cattle may be had
around S4.00. A Texas breeder of
high grade Herefords says he has rec
emily sold yearling heifers to Kansas
buyers at S27 per head, and that he
Can dispose of all surplus stock on
the ranch at high prices.
The hog market is working upward
and it moved up couple of notches
today. Run here is II, 900 to-day,
market 10 higher, top S6.4O, bulk
bulk $3.50 to S6.35. Quality is i'm
proving and are heavier, average for
the week ending December 21st at
this point standing at 1877 lbs Two
weeks ago the average weight for the
current week was 176 lbs. Pigs go
at S4.25 to $3.50. The run last week
showed no falling off from recent
weeks, though dealers have been ex-
! pecting a decrease in the supply for
some time.
Sheep and lambs also sold higher
ldSG week, anu the market is nrm To-
day. Kansas fed lambs sold up to
$500 on different days last week, and
the market is firm to-day. Kansas
fed lambs sold up to 1920 on different
days last week, and up to 1925 to-
day. Quality is better than short
time ago and packers take more in
crest. Wethers are selling up to
s4,2O, light yearlings S5.25, and ewes
$3.50. Several strings of feeding
lambs went out last week at $3.50,
and some New Mexico yearlings went
to the feeders at S3. so.

With the rapid growth in popul-
alton and the closing up of the great
ranches and ranges by the farms of
the settlers, there has come a dis
tinct and pressing problem for both
the producer and consumer of meats.
Why does the farmer receive 6
cents per pound for his hogs and pay
35 cents per pound for his bacon, is
another problem.
The nationwide shortage of meat
producing animals which now exist
and the question of increasing the
average yield of Kansas crops from
II bushels per acre for wheat and 20
bushels for corn, are other important
problems which will be up for dis
cussion before the twenty-second
annual session of the Kansas Improv-
ed Stock Breeders Association, to be
held in Topeka, Kan, January $40,
1912.
This meeting is free to all, and all
breeds and all phases of live stock
production will be represented, and
as no permanent system of agricul-
ture can be maintained in any coun-
try without live stock, it should have
a very personal interest for all.
The Kansas State Board of Agri-
culture, and other bodies will hold
their sessions during the week, which
is known as Farmers Week in Top

Stake.
After due consideration the board
decided to grant the request and very
generously appropriated additional
funds to those already promised to
establish first class normal training
school in addition to the work now
offered. This means that the north
will be supplied with school that
will prepare young men and women
to teach in any of the grade schools
of our own and surrounding states
without examination and thus fill a
long felt need.
In this new role the institution will
not in any way conflict with the work
of the Agricultural College and the
developing high schools of this ter
ritory. but supplement these insttu-
tions and thus add one more link in
the chain that goes to make up the
wonderful educational opportunities
of the north.
The whole people of this territory
should be very grateful to President
Joseph f. Smith, the General Church
Board of Education, and to Supt.
Horace Cummings for their willing
ness to do all in their power to aid
us in solving the problem that con-
fronts the community and grant the
request of our people by placing the
Brigham Young college in a position
where it can be of greater service to
the church than ever before
Friends, students and faculty of the
Brigham Young College should be
ever grateful for the efforts not only
to the presidencies of the Cache stake
but to those of the Brigham Young
College district and to all who in any
way have contributed to present re
suits,
This means that the college course
win be for six years instead of -four
as at present, or in nearly the same
position as it was before the higher
branches were taken to the b. Y. U
at Provo.
