Good Crops For 1912

The horse epidemic has caus'
ed many of our Meade county
farmers heavy losses, and while
conditions are bad, they could
be worse. The following article
gives information that prospects
are good for good crop next
year, which will more than make
up for the loss of horses this
year:
The Union Pacific has issued
bulletin showing the principal
crop yields of Kansas by coun-
ties, for 1910 and 1911. 1t is
compiled from the report of the
state board of agriculture and is
an elaborate compilation of COM
parisons of population and crop
yields for 1910 and 1911, as COM
pared with the same for 1900 and
1901.
In menting on the showing
made by Kansas in 1910 and 1911
Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic
manager for the Union Pacific
says:
Nothing shows the strength
and durability of Kansas as
great and prosperous common
wealth as the report of the prin.
cipal crops for 1911,
Enduring with other states

tending from the Rockey noun

MEADE COUNTY FIRST
Donalk Kolb and Walter DenSlow Responsible
Meade County Kaffr Corn Best in State

Meade county came in for her
share of honor at the Hutchinson
State Fair. In the Boys kaffir
corn contest first place was Civ
en- to Meade county, the winning
bunch of kafir corn being ex-
hlbited by Donold Kolb, who
lives south of Meade. In the
same contest our county also
was given fourth prize on kaffir
corn exhibited by Walter Dens-
low, living east of Meade. But
this is not all. In the red kaffir
corn contest, Donald Kolb also
won second place, making in all
three prizes for Meade county,
first and fourth in the white
kaffir corn contest, and second
in the red.
In the local contest held at the
County Superintendent's office
the week before the Hutchinson
Fair, Walter Denslow won first
place in the white kaffir contest
and Donald Kolb second, while
Donald Kolb had first place in
the red kaffir contest. The ex.
hibits we're sent to Hutchinson
where they we're put on display,
and the boys winning first and
second place were given a free
trip to Hutchinson with all en-
tertainment free, To the bov
winning first place in the state
contest for the best white kaffir
corn, "A cash prize of $1,000 was
given, and 500 for the fourth
place. Both these prizes we're
awarded to Meade boys. In the
Red kaffir corn contest the prizes
were the same, and second place
was given to Meade county,
making $1,000 in prizes awarded
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1912-09-26

to our two representatives, first
in the white $4,000 and second
in the red 5000 to Donald Kolb,
and fourth in the white ($7.OO)
to Walter Denslow.
The fact that Meade Comfy
led the state in the production of
white kafir corn, and took Sec
ond place in the production of
red, is no small honor, and the
two boys who make it possible
for the county to get this honor,
are to be complimented. Next
year there will be more entries
in this contest, and Meade coun-
ty will no doubt again be given
first place.
The boys say they had a fine
time during their stay in Hutch
inson, and that they could not
have been treated nicer.
We take the following list Of
winners in this contest from the
Hutchinson News:

Epidemic Abating

The horse plague which has
been raging in this and other
parts of the state for more than
a month, seems now to be abat-
ing and while many horses are
still down and some few are TAX
ing the disease, still the per cent
of losses is much less than ten
days ago and many of the ami
mails afflicted are recovering.
The cooler weather, getting
the horses off the pasture, and
feeding them clean, dry feed, and
pure water, seems is have help
ed in checking the disease.
1t is relief to know that the
disease is in a measure checked,
for many valuable horses were
victims and many of our people
lost heavily.
Just how great a loss this di-
sease will amount to, cannot be
estimated, for there is to be con-
sidered the loss which will be in
Cured by the delay in preparing
this ground and the planting of
the fall wheat.
1t is hoped, and it now looks as
though the disease will soon be
stamped out.

The City of Meade owns a pub
lie library. This may be news
to many of our people, but never
the less it is true, and the library
has been located in the Register
of Deeds Office for the last twen-
ty years. 1t seems that within
the past few years people have
lost sight of the fact that there is
such library in Meade. There
are number of good reference
books among these books and
high school students, especially,
will profit by keeping this fact
ig mind. Remem Der the books
are there and may as well be
used.

his nal me, which are now the law
and has been instrumental in all
reform Legislation that has been
before the house. In addition to
his support of pension legislation
and Investigations of the money
trust, the coffee trust and other
gratis, he has figured largely in
the Income Tax law which takes
the burden off the poor man and
places it upon those able to bear
it, the good roads legislation, the
amendment 10 the constitution
providing for the election of
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people, the tariff bill

which bill was passed by both
the house and senate and vetoed
by President Taft, and many
other reform measures which

view.
Mr.. Neeley is pleasant talk

course most eloquently, and he
is destined to become one of the
foremost orators in America.
He is tireless, persistent, ten

complished more during his one

past years experience, with the
knowledge that the next con-

ship that exists between Mr..
Neeley and Speaker Clark, it
would be the height of folly for
the voters of this district to re-

meeting had been poorly adver'
tised, and that this is the busiest
time of the year, laTge and ap'
preciative audience turned out tc
hear the big congressman from
the big 9TH.
Mr.. Neeley confined his speech
mainly to review of the work
done by the last session of Con.
gress. He told of the difficulty
experienced in passing an ade'
quate pension law for the old
veterans: the opposition to pen
sion legisla ton urged that as the
government had run behind dur.
ing the past year it would be i'm
possible to appropriate addition
al money for pensions. The
friends of the old veterans got
busy in an effort 10 find where
expenses could be retrenched.
The first move toward cutting
down expenses was the discharge
of l69 useless doorkeepers, each
drawing salary of $4,000 year.
Nearly one thousand employees
of the government, employees
who had absolutely nothing to do
but to draw their salary, men
filling situations created for the
sole purpose of making jobs for
petty politicians, were let out:
Sthe Commerce Court, which ap-
parently had no function, except
to undo the work of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission
when the latter body should rule
adversely to the corporations,
was abolished: obsolete methods
inNthe pension department, the
patent Office, and the govern
ment printing Offices were abol-
ished and new systems intro
duced, thus increasing the eff
ficiency of these departmentsand
reducing the expense of operat-
ing. By reason of the discharge
of usless employees, and the
installation of up-to- date busi.
ness methods in the departments
"a saving of Thirty-three million
dollars annually was effected,
which saving more than made up
for the increase of pensions un-
der the new law, and is mighty
good record for the Democratic
house.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Neeley
was new man IN Congress, he
was appointed mem Der of the
committee to investigate the
money trust, which is the most
gigantic task our government
has undertaken in a long time
While this investigation is not
complete, it has proceeded far
enough to prove that the finances
of the, United States are abso-
lutely controlled by J. P. Morgan
and five associates: this six men
we're powerful enough to borrow
from the sub-treasury of the
United States, during Mr.. Roose-
velt's ad ministration, Forty-two
million dollars, without interest
or security and use it to specu-
late on the stock exchange dur
ingthe panic of 1907. These.
men were powerful enough to
secure contract with the prov
ince of Brazil which resulted in
the Coffee trust that has dou bled
the price of Coffee without any
natural reason therefor.
When Mr.. Neeley was sworn
in as Congressman there was
about twenty thousand bills on
the calander, which ordinarily J.
would have to be disposed of be-
fore any new bills could be con-
eSaSred, but Notwithstanding this

A Democratic Policy.

Having felt the force of public opin-
ion the Democratic leaders in the
house of representatives have decided
to accept the senate's offer Of compro-
mise on the battleship program. They
have not dared to release their follow
ers from caucus bondage to vote each
as his Judgment or fears or interests
incline him. But they have decided
that they may vote for one battleship
or none.
This, then, is made party issue
pure and simple. The whip cracks,
the members line up. This is the Off
cial Democratic Interpretation of the
party policy. If Messrs. Clark, Under
wood and company continue to domi-
nate, Democratic authority means the
deterioration of the navy and the
army. 1t means bluster in diplomacy.
and futility in war.
To gild this folly Democratic doubts
have fallen back upon the "Tillman
terror" We are to have only one bat
tleship. but 1t is to be the biggest in
the world. Cheap chauvinism and con-
tempt for the judgment of the in
formed conceive and bring forth this
monster.
