The movement launched yesterday
has struck popular chord, and has
run through the civic life OF the
city with a vim.
Tomorrow night a mass meeting
of the people Of the city will be held
at the opera house under the aus
pices OF the Commercial Club, and as
a result Mayor Myers has issued a
proclamation calling on the people
OF the city to take heed and lend
announcement to the proposed bond
issue by being present tomorrow
night.
III. l.. Gilkey.
The Courier yesterday was able
to give a brief report of the initial
meeting Of the gathering assembled
too late for full report in an after
noon paper. Hence the report as
printed was not able to carry a syn
opsls of brief, but able address
by II. L. Gilkey, cashier Of the First
National bank. Mr.. Gilkey's words
we're received with high favor, as
they were words of sound common
sense and wisdom lie said In part
THAT God helps those who help
themselves Is q truism as applicable
to a community as an Individual. The
good roads question is one that Is In
the air at the present time, not be-
cause we are more In need OF them
now than formerly, but the people
have become educated to the point
where they are willing to put forth
the effort to attain the results that
other communities have already
reached.
Judge Stephen jewell stated cor
rectly the matter from a business
standpoint when he said that Il
would be good investment for the
county TO bond for sufficient TO build
network OF good roads throughout
the county, as the interest on the
bonds would be less than the actual
expenditure for the upkeep OF the
present incomplete highways BY a
bond issue the present generation IA
not creating a burden for the future,
but is in reality providing greater
revenue whereby a means OF meeting
said obligation may be reached in
addition 10 having immediate bene-
fits Of good highways for communl-
cation and traffic.
AT the present time we hear a
great deal said about the lock Of
business and hard times n We
we're to analyze this question I be-

As FAR BACK As 1891

Studied Worlds Food Statistics and

Come True.

wichita, Kan. Jan. 4-E. Wood
! Davis, known in Kansas as COTTON
wood" Davis, who died at his ranch
near Viola Saturday, was one Of the
| first men 10 forsee the present IN
creased cost Of living and to predict
that the prices of foodstuffs would
| be higher.
Mr. Davis made a careful study OF
the worlds supply of wheat as COM
pared with the consumption OF bread
stuGs In the whole world ana discov-
cred that tho demand for wheat was
increasing much more readily than
tho supply. The remedy for this con-
dltion, as Mr.. Davis saw II, lay In In
creased acreage Of wheat, The world
was falling behind several million
acres every year, according TO MIR
DaWss computations.
In 1891 Mr., Davis published stories
based on his statistical studies IN u
number Of newspapers and maga-
zines. The increasing demand for
foodstuffs and particularly for wheat.
would mean increased prosperity for
the farmer, he asserted,
Unlike many writer's who have pre-
dicted various disasters, Mr. Day-
based his predictions almost entirely
upon statistics. lie was peculiarly
fitted for a study Of this sort. having
been in the railroad business Tor n
number of years, He was considered
an expert in the compiling OF pa
scnger and freight tariffs and the
FIRST tariff sheet Of this sort published
in Kansas by the Union Pacific rail
road was Mr., Davis's work,
The statistics upon which his pre-
dictions were based were cNtensivo
Official reports OF United States con-
suls ana ministers furnished him with
much Of his material.
Mr.. Davis saw no cause for ais
couragement in the figures which he
quoted. ON the other hand, he said
that 1t meant better times ahead for
the farmers Prices were going up
to stay up, and prosperity would
come the way of the Kansas farmer.
He lived TO see his prophecies full
filled and 20 see nolghbors who were
almost ready to quit in 1891 whrl by
his ranch in their motor cars on the
way to town.
The conclusions which Mr. Davis
reached from his study are best sum
med up IN a paragraph from his own
writings;
Given bread-catIng population

The friends of Mr.. ]. r. Ragan,
Jr., in Dawson will read with much
interest the following from the At

The brilliant piano recital by Mr..
Joseph Raglan, Jr., pupil of Mr..
Hunter Welsh, was most enthusiast
tically received by the appreciative
audience which gathered at the At
ANITA Women's Club on Wednesday
afternoon The entire program, con-
sisting of twelve extremely difficult
and varied compositions by the most
famous composers of the world, was
presented with an accuracy, ease,
brilliancy and artistic finish which
characterize the true musician, and
which proved an inspiration to the
music-lovers present. 1t is easy to
predict a brilliant career for one who
possesses such remarkable technique
and temperament as Mr. Raglan dis
played in the rare combination of
strength and delicacy of touch
shown in the exquisite tone produc-
ton and Interpretation Of each num-
Der on the program. Undoubtedly
he possesses the characteristics of
the true artist, and ne has evidently

Mr.. Ragan appeared with an ease
and poise which clearly indicate his
thorough mastery of each selection
and he was most heartily applauded

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF SUN FRIDAY.
Phenomenon Will Begin at 5:15, and
Make Longest Might of Year.

Friday night of the present week
will be the longest of the year, due
to the fact that total eclipse of the
sun is to occur late in the afternoon
of that day. Dawson will be directly
II the path OF the eclipse, and the
phenomenon will be visible here to
good effect
The eclipse will begin about Sis
o'clock in the evening, but it will be
impossible to see the entire eclipse,
because the sun will go down before
it is completed; still, however, there
will be plenty of time for all to get a
good idea of the effect of shutting
off the suns light.
