Sale Day.

With all its old time activity
the sixth farmers sale day was
held Saturday. Despite the al
most impossible condition of the
roads big crowd was in town,
the streets and vacant places
being lined with teams.
There we're but few pleasure
seekers among the. crowds, those
who came coming for business
and everyone was busy.
Quite large amout of prop
erty was sold and found ready
buyers as usual. The sale was
held in the big warehouse of the
H. G.. Marshall Mercantile COM
pany, generously donated for the
occasion, but this failed to ac-
commodate the crowd and the
sidewalk was pacKed, some stand
ing in the muddy street.
The Ladies band made their
first appearance in public, and
they certainly made good"
The ladies' were little back
ware in consenting to play and
only yielded after considerable
urging. The quarantine restric-
tons have prevented them from
practlcing for several weeks and
they were some what doubtful of
their ability. But the boquets
handed them by everybody has
shown the folly of their doubts;
everyone is glad they appeared.
They are tackling some pretty

and all other equipment is in

cry. The arrangement of the

necessary to handle the busi-

out of his real estate business,
and the people began to wonder
if the proposition would again
fall through. But Schumacher
never doubted. He had taken
great interest in the proposition,
had spent considerable time and
money, and realizing the need
and value of such system was
determined to see it through.
When enthusiasm was at low
ebb he set about to interest live
men of the town in the project.
He got very busy, and in a short
time had succeeded in disposing
of considerable stock. Every
sale added new life and workers
and soon everyone became enthu-
siastic and he had plenty of help
in disposing of stock. A splen-
did working company was or
ganized, and capital was provided
and plans we're at once on foot
for actual construction. The
most conservative and able men
were elected officers and direc-
tors and the plant was sure

light plant. We printed the dodg-
ers and as we remember Lon
distributed them. A meeting was
held at Phelps opera house which
was largely attended by repre-
sentative people of the town.
w. J. Fisk and Henry Borde-
wick asked for a franchise and
made their proposition. After
considerable discussion as to the
ability OF the city 10 install a
plant, it was the sense of the
meeting that the proposition be
accepted. Several made talks
but E. D. Smith, then editor of
the News, voiced the sentiment
of the house when he said in a
neat speech that he, for one,
would favor turning the matter
over to the council; that they
we're elected for that purpose,
were all men with financial in
terests here and would do the
very best for the town. This
was done and franchise granted.
But the plans fell through.
Mr.. Bordewick failed to make
good his part of the deal, and the
franchise expired.
Then l.. F. Schumacher asked
for franchise, 1t was granted.
Wiring was commenced and the
greater part of the business Sec
ton of the town was wired by
Mr.. Fisk, several hundred dol
lars in labor and material being
put into the work. Mr.. Fisk
was employed as manager and
everything looked bright. Again
fortune failed to smile. Busi-
ness conditions became such that
Mr.. Schumacher did not feel JUS

And There Is Good Light

No enterprise of any magni-
tude can be promoted in a day.
The securing of needed institu-
tions necessary to the growth
and development of a town is a
task few care to undertake. I'm
less someone comes forth to push
nothing can be accomplished;
unless the appointed leader has
the support OF the town the re-
suit is the same. When both
are in evidenceall obstacles are
overcome. These facts have
been clearly demonstrated in
the magnificent and perfectly
efficient electric light system
which IS today in operation in
Meade. There were times when
all seemed lost, but persistent
effort and the spirit of loyalty
to the town saved the day. We
shall attempt brief history of
the electric light agitation from
the beginning to the present
time. We shall endeavor to give
credit where it is due and state
the facts as nearly as memory
recalls. If anyone is sighted it
is unintentional, and if anyone
feels injured we ask to be cor
rected.
There may have been talk of
electric lights previous to the
agitation for the present plant
but it has not come to our knowl-
edge. The first we heard on the
subject was when L. F. Schu-
macher came into The News
Office and asked if we would con-
tribute some dodgers that mass
meeting could be called to confer
with parties desiring to install a

hard music and play it well.
Every memb ber is working hard
and the whole band is rapidly
gaining in proficiency. The en-
thusiasm of Prof. Won Prosky is
shared-by all and the whole town
is proud of the ladies band.
The Won Prosky band as usual
contributed to the success of the
of the occasion. The boys show
little effects of not having regu-
lar practice and their music was
the same, classy, snappy style
common to them and was very
much enjoyed.
The people of Meade and vicin-
ity are justly proud of these ex-
cellent musical organization. and
their efforts to assist every en-
terprlse of the town is heartily
appreciated.
After the concerts both bands
took possession of The News Of
fee and ad jacent premises. The
ladies played "Silver Threads
Among the Cold" in highly
creditabIe manner, after which
both bands joined in selec-
ton, and the com bined forces
played such music as is seldom
heard anywhere. With our linn
tied vocabulary we are unable
to describe it, and anyone who
missed it is certainly loser.
Col. Jim Stanper has been
pretty busy lately, but was in
excellent spirits, as was his audi
ence, and his superior ability as
a salesman. was again demon
strated.
This sale day was highly sue
cessful and others will probably
be held.

ghum and of millet. The sorghum has
been cut four times yielding So hay rack
wagons loaded from the first cutting
and the other cuttings about the same.
The millet cut 18 large wagon loads to the
acres in one cutting. The sorghum and
millet hay is worth So to $40 per ton.
am now planting sixteen acres of winter
cabbage and expect to make Is car loads
which at the average price of $500 per car
would net me $4,000. This land is worth
great deal more than it can be bought for
at the present time but at that would not
take $500 an acre for my place. My entire
