Notice To Parents.

There has been some confus-
ion among the patrons of the
public schools as to the time of
ringing the bells and as to the
time of admittance to the build
ing. The two morning bells
and the two afternoon bells ring
thirty minutes apart, respective
ly. The first morning bell rings
at eight twenty five and the first
afternoon bell at one o'clock.
High school students may enter
the building at any time; however
the doors will not be opened to
the grade children until fifteen
minutes Of the time for the be-
ginning Of the school session.
The reason for this request is
two fold, first the child needs the
the outdoor air and exercise,
and secondly the teacher needs
the time for preparation. Ex-
ceptions will be made to this
rule where children eat their
lunches at the school building
and during cold or stormy
weather.

Western Kansas

The Kansas City Star of Sun
day, September 10, contained a
write-up of the counties IN the
western part of the state, in
which Meade county came in for
a generous share.
The write-up began with his
tory of Grant county, which is
said to be th. only county in the
state which has no Jail and for
twenty-five years has had no
need for building of that kind,
gave brief account of the fam
Gus county seat fight between
Ulysses and Cincinnati with a
photo of the $4,000 school build
ing standing alone on the praiaie,
the only building left to mark
the first town site of Ulysses.
The friendly feeling between
the towns of Ulysses and Santa
Fe was spoken Of. In Haskell
county there is little need for law
and picture of the county Jail
which is said to have contained
only two prisoners in twenty-five
years was also given,
On another page appeared an
extensive write-up of Willis G.
Emerson and A. Fl. Heber, to-
gether with an excellent descrip-
ton of the great prairie fire.
An excellent photo of Meade was
included.
Considerable space was de-
voted to E. ID. Smith and his
book on the life of his ancestor,
Jedediah Strong Smith which
will be published shortly.

that President Diaz has put into ef-

Limantour was most emphatic In

he could not treat with them as II
they desired peace. 1t would be ne
cessary for them first to see that all

their arms and threw themselves on
