Hadley is a progressive Republican
in the best sense. His record as
attorney general of Missouri, leading
the first successful attack on the
Standard OIL trust, is evidence of his
ability and his desire to accomplish
things. He went to Chicago as a
Roosevelt delegate and led the fight
to nominate the ex-president. He
failed but he did not sulk hor bolt
-he believes that the Republican
party is big enough to solve the
economic questions Of today and that

A GOOD MAN GONE.

When death took John w. Creech
away from the activities of this life
Il robbed the world of nobleman.
The gentleness OF woman and the
courage and strength Of manhood
blended in his kindly nature. Through
all his busy life he met his fellows
with a smile, performed his obliga-
tions with just hand, stood for
the things that are Of good repute
and exercised that charity and good
will whose essence is clean heart
and hopeful spirit. No man in
Kansas had more warm friends than
he, none deserved friends better.
Through all his active life from the
time when as a poor boy he worked
beside the lowliest until by his own
efforts, without pull" or Influence
but by sheer ability, he rose to
commanding position in the social
and business world j. w. Creech was
the same conscientious, honorable
and unassuming citizen. He served
his town and his county with the
same fidelity with which he man
aged his personal affairs. He was
given much in this world and he
used HIS talent for the good of those
around him. Sorrow at his passing
is mingled with pleasant recollectiOns
Of his upright life.

WANTS 500 Per
ACRE FOR CROP
Burke County Farmers Asks
Big Price From
n-sII
N6IIE1fMIu

BCWBELLS, August 26.--Andrew
Gronlund of south of the city holds his
crop at 500 per acre, and will not sell
it to the Great Northern, Railway Co.
for any less. He is willing to sell his
land to the railroad company for about
the same price as is being paid his
neighbors, but he considers his crop
worth $50 per acre. The right-ofway
man has been paying all farmers SIS
per acre for grain crops through which
the road will be constructed in addi-
ton to the price of the land, but is I'M
able to get Mr. Gronlund to come
down any on his price.
Most people will think that 500 is al
together too much to pay for each acre
of any standing grain, and naturally a
smile comes to their face when they
hear what Mr. Gronlund is holding his
grain at. On the other hand to talk
with Mr.. Gronlund and learn his side
of the story, many will feel that he is
justified in asking the price. Last
spring Mr.. Gronlund bought a quanti-
ty. of seed oats for $3.50 per bushel,
which were guaranteed to produce a
SCl SlDp tlldlI OlhCl oCCu ObtS, VII tHS
market. He seeded the grain in ground
that he spent much time in preparing,
and as result he has stand that he
feels certain will 60 100 bushels to the
acre. The grain stands about four feet
high and is as thick as it can stand.
During the past month or more he took
orders from different farmers for this
grain after it was threshed and has
already sold about all he can spare for
$l5O per bushel. AT this rate the crop
is worth to him $3.50 per acre if it
yields 100 bushels to the acre. Even
after deducting the expense of cutting
stacking and threshing he would real
ze a great deal more than 500 per
acre.
G. L. Scott, the right-of-way man,
states that the crop is not worth 500
all acre to the railroad company, and
that grading on MIR. Gronlunds land
would be deferred until he had his oats
cut.
