There's big money awaiting

Whitewater, who has been making
a number of trips to Meade and

ested in some large land holdings.
Thompson, manager of the White

ITS just like 1t used to be out
in Barton county," Thompson said,
land was so cheap, people didn't
want it. There's a man in White
water today who used to live out
there about IA years ago. He
decided it wasn't worth while and
sold his homestead for just about
enough to get back to Whitewater.
He was there the other day and
drove out to his former farm.

Avoidable Waste.

One of the most glaring wastes
in this country is the loss of life
and property by fire. This waste
costs America at the rate OF $500
per capita of the population annu-
ally. In Europe it is IS cents per
capita. Fully so per cent of all
fires are preventable, arising from
improper construction, careless
ness or indifference, and the latter
in many countries would be treat
ed as criminal and punished &C.
cordingly, but in this, generally
goes without investigation if in
sured, the popular belief being
that it is a loss to the insur-
ance companies, and not to the
public, the insurance company be-
ing merely the collector of the fire
tax. Every fire, great or small, is
a loss to the community, irrespec-
tive of whether the property de-
stroyed was insured or not, a fact
that every property owner should
bear in mind, and realize that fires
wipe so much value out of exist
ence.
The fact that we have been for
tunate enough to escape a serious
fire in the business district Of the
town does not for an instant dim
irish the possibility of bad con-
flagration at any time. 1t is in
deed too bad that we cannot es-
tablisn q PRECEDENT which will con-
troll the future with reference to
fires, but we cannot. An ounc of
prevention is worth considerable
repentance. AS a matter of fire
protection alone, we need a better
system of waterworks. A num-
Der of the best people of the town,
who have considerable money in
vested in private water plants have
shown their good citizenship by
working for the bonds. Make it
point to say something to your
doubling neighbour. before the
election. Every little counts for
something, and in the end, may
amount to just enough to carry
the proposition.

The States Duty

The state university of Kansas
has just had it's annual commence
ment and over 300 young men and
young women we're graduated.
The university is an institution in
which every citizen of Kansas has
an interest and is one that pays
big dividents upon the Investment.
Although the University of Kan
sas does not have as much money
at its command as do similar uni
versities in other states, the re-
suits are most satisfactory so far
as they can be made to go. The
state does not give all the young
people a higher education, but it
does give every one of them an
opportunity. Any young man or
young woman who wants to go
ahead in study beyond the bran
ches of the common school, has
the chance to do so. If this we're
not so the state of Kansas would
be tagging behind other states and
in a few years would suffer the in
evitable loss that comes to those
who do not want to advance.
A higher education means not
only more learning and culture,
but it means investigation and
progress. 1t is a duty of the state

On Monday morning the editor
received a circular letter from Ar
thur Capper of the Topeka Cap
ital, asking us to assist in making
his announcement for the race for
governor. Now this will hardly
be necessary inasmuch as the daily
papers have been full of the Cap
per-for-governOr gush for the
past month or two, but we have
really believed that said Hon.
Capper had better judgment than
to make the initial break with a
formal announcement of his can
didacy. AS to the republican
ranks in Topeka, it seems just now
as though it we're a closed corpora.
ton on the part of Stubbs, Dolley
and Murdoch. In fact, they have
only reluctantly admitted that
there would be another governor
elected in 1912, Bill White with
Stubbs is playing the waiting
game, to see which man will show
up the stronger. They are re-
luctant to give up the idea that Ed
Madison may be induced to enter
the race, but those who know tie
congressman from this district
best, do not believe that he will
become a candidate for the Office
of governor. Unless Madison en-
tiers, Capper will have a mighty
good opportunity to win at the
primaries, but we believe he will
die on first base. Capper isn't a
good speaker, as he himself admits
and he is too young in the game Of
politics to be able to win it with
out going on the stump. The peo-
pie Of Kansas are pretty intelligent
and they are strong on sizing up
mar. That is where we see little
chance for Arthur to get by. He
is depending on the newspapers of
the state to elect him. We notice
in an endorsement sheet sent out
by the Topeka asplrant that all of
the old Curtis machine newspapers
have lined up behind him, so we
hardly believe that the Stubbs-
White faction will lay down with
out a fight before the primaries.
Capper has never been close to the
newspaper men of the state, and
his paper is not the model for the
country brethren by any means.
AS means Of politically molding
public opinion we believe the To
peka Capital is a failure, and that
Little Arthur will have some diff
Guilty in rambling off with the
grapes in the final contest, even
though he should win at the prim-
aries.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending April "a, 1911,
The past week was dry and generally
pleasant with cool nights, although the
average temperature was slightly
above the normal. Light, but fairly
well-distrubuted showers occurred on
the 18th and 18th, but clear weather
prevailed generally during the rest of
the week, with frost on the morning
of the 22d. No damage was done.
however, as vegetation was not far en-
ough advanced to be injured. The con-
ditions were usually favorable for farm
work and rapid progress was made in
finishing seeding and preparing ground
for corn. Nearly all of the small grain
is in and that sown early is up and
shows good stand. Winter grains and
grass are coming on nicely. Many
early potatoes have been planted, and
a start was made in planting corn in
the southern counties. Fruit prospects
are still very promising and more than
the usual number of fruit growers are
installing heaters for use in case of
necessity. The pig crop is disappoint-

calves are up to the average and are

Popular Educators.

Friends of Prof. and Mrs. A. R
McCook will be pleased to learn thai
they have been reelected at Shell Rock
A. X. as he is best known to ou
readers, was principal of the Elm.
schools five years. During that time
Mrs. McCook was in the grammar de-
partment three years and was assistant
principal two years. While they were
there the standards of the school were
very materially raised and the school
was accredited.
Four years ago when Mr.. McCook
was elected superintendent of the Shell
Rock schools, Mrs. McCook was elected
to the grammar department where she
taught three years. Last year she be-
came high school principal to which po-
sition she has been reelected.
The Shell Rock high school is fully
accredited and offers Latin, a German
and a commercial course while at the
same time strong work is done in En-
glish and History.
The fact that Supt. McCook is now
getting q higher salary than was ever
before paid at Shell Rock and their re-
for a fifth year surely speaks
we'll for the kind of work they are
doing.

found to be we'll formed, true and
