Searchlight Assured.

James Stamper has completed
the canvass and secured sufficient
funds to insure the big electric
light on the top of the water tow
err. This light will be fine
thing as it can be seen from ev-
cry direction as far as the eye
can reach, and it's installation
again attests the public spirited
ness of the people of the town.
Mr.. Stamper is deserving of
great credit for the important
part he has taken in the matter.
The Meade Light and Power Co.,
also did their share.
Negotiations are being made
by the Commercial Club of Meade
with Hutchinson man, F. Corp,
for the construction and promo
ton of an interurban electric line
to be built south from Meade to
Beaver, Okla, following the val
lev Of Crooked Creek.
That is a rich valley, and is be-
ing rapidly settled up, but there
is no railroad communication of
any kind. The county seat town
of Beaver has no railroad, either.
Both Meade and Beaver are inter-
ested in the project.
II do not care to discuss the
matter now" said Mr.. Corp, last
evening 1T has not progressed
far enough. went to Meade
and had conference with them.
l do not know just what will be
done about it.
THE country is rich and l be-
lieve there is a good field there

sympathy of all.
We have been asked to state
that while the ladies of the East
ern Star ask the support of the
members of the Masonic bodies,
they will appreciate in no less de-
gree the patronage of all. The
entertainment is for all and mer-
its large audience.
Luther Thompson is putting
up a large storage tank for irri-
eating purposes. He is also get
ting out a nice stair for his home
this week, which will be a very
fine piece of work. Luther is a
high class workman and the pro-
ducts of his shop are always
classy.
The man who continually harps
on his town being "slow" without
putting forth an effort or sugges-
ton for it's betterment is located
in every city and village. His
words and actions are calculated
to make conditions worse and he
would never inject any life in the
community so unfortunate as to
have him for resident.
The town of Meade is undoubt-
eddy pretty we'll advertised over
the state. A few days ago The
News inserted an ad in the Wich-
tia Eagle for a printer. In writ
ing the ad we signed The Meade
County News, failing to give any
further address. Before the Sec
ond copy of the paper containing
the ad reached usw had received
three replies to the ad. Meade
is getting to be known every

The Royal Neigbors of Meade
returned the visit of the Fowler
camp last Tuesday evening and
we're accorded a royal welcome.
They we're met at the train by a
mittee with automobiles TAX
ing them to the hall which was
beautifully decorated with the
lodge colors. After enjoying an
enthusiastic meeting the ladies
were given an auto ride over the
city, which was greatly enjoyed
A stop was made that they might
inspect the new school building,
which is indeed fine and a credit
to the town. They we're enter
tanned at the Hotel Bunyan for
supper, wherea bountiful spread
was prepared. Ats O'Clock they
were taken to the M. E. Church
to an entertainment after which
they again returned to the hote
where the Neighbors served re-
freshments consisting of punch
and fruit. The remainder Of
the evening was spent in socia
way until the midnight train ar
rived when the visitors from
Meade made the start for home
The Royal Neighbors are to be
complimented on the manner ir
which they entertained and ev
eryone felt that it was good to be
there.

thing which will add more to the
beauty of the town than plenty OF
nice trees. Many schemes are
being tried which are claimed to
help in the quick growth of any
tree. One plan is to set a tile or
pipe few inches from the tree

which water can be poured. Will
Wehrle is putting gravel at the
bottom of the pipe and has lids
to keep the pipe from filling up.
This may seem big task, but
it is really small compared to the

will feel amply repaid tor the
effort when they have grown to
such size as to yield nice shade.

Meade is having her inning at
railroad building at the present
time. They are going to build
an electric line from Meade to
Beaver City, just as Liberal did
several years ago, Then they
are going to have the Winnipeg,
Salina & Gulf road built right
through their town, on paper,
and as Meade is about half way
between Turon and Des Moines
it would be a lovely place for d
division point, with round houses,
repair shops, Offices and resi-
dences for division officials, and
all things necessary to conduct a
frst-class railroad. Meade is
surrounded by land on all sides
and has plenty of space to spread
out and make room for all these
improvements and enterprises.
Of course Meade is willin'; Beaver
is willin; Turon is willin', Des
MONS is willin'; and the only
thing lacking seems to be the
money to build the proposed
roads.-Liberalist.
Right you are Bro. Hubbard
about the money, but when the
plans are perfected the money is
in sight and these roads will be
transferred from paper to earth,

are first built on paper, and then
