DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM
Strikes Through the Heart Of the
best PrUwe,S County AgTi-
clsatlRall Region

On Saturday evening the most
destructive hail storm that ever
was known in this section cut a
swath three miles W ide right
through the finest farming sec
tions of the county from west to
east. 1t struck the irrigated sec
ton northwest of Wiley on the
Wilson and Needham ranches and
wiped out almost everything in
its track clear through the coun-
ty. 1t would be impossible to
name all the heavy losers asthey
reach into three figures. but it
cut right through the fine Big
Bend farms reaching down almost
to the town of Wiley. and from
there struck into May valley TAX
ing the big ranches of Elmer Wag-
ner. Paulsen, Leatherman and
Leasure, Mike Lyons. Heath Bros.
and coming down to Kornman sta
ton. From there over to the
Morse and Parrish ranches and
crossing the river 1t took In the
American Beet Sugar Co. ranches
and McMiIlin's going east through
the Marvel ranch and continuing
far into Kansas.
Another branch of the storm
swept through Bristol and Hart
man and the fine farms of those
sections including the A. ". s.
B. &I. l.. Co. lands doing heavy
damage down as far as Garden

Roosevelt's intimation that Taft
expected the committee to put
him through, right or wrong. So
far. the o,mmi:tee has borne out

such obvious justice that even the

animously against the colonel. But.
he. of course, fOams at the mouth
at the idea of that being to do
Justice" Whatever is against him
is an Infamous crime.
Just what Mr.. Roosevelt is aim
ing at by his superfluity of raging
and insult, his friends at Chicago
are evidently at a loss to under
stand. II will not tamely submit"

ity that enough of the contests will
be decided against him to leave
him a minority. He closes his

with no claim to loyalty from ii"
Does this mean. a bolt? 1t would
appear SO on the face of the
words. No one questions that the
colonel is so furious and so swear
ing mad against Taft that he would
do anything even to breaking up
the party, in order to defeat him.
But a bolt requires boilers; and
the leading Rooseveltians at Chi
cago plainly do not propose to saw
off the limb on which they are
sitting. There must be no bolt"
says Senator Borah. Epithets
should soon be flying his way.
Governor Aldrich of Nebraska warrl
against encouraging the Idea of
bolting. He ought soon to find
out what particular kind OF cow
ard he is. Boss Finn of Pitts
burg loves Roosevelt consumedly.
but he plainly loves Boss Finn
more, and is not such a fool as
to make himself irregular and
block his path to the headship of
the republican party in Pennsyl-
vania and possibly seat in the
senate. Thus the colonePs sound
and fury appear to be really less
a calculated incitement to party
wrecking than blowing off of
accumulated wrath at the way
tc:rgs are going.-New York Post.

Give the Colonel His RighAA

The republican national COM
mittee should give the colonel his
right.
II he wants $50 or 5000 tickets
to the national convention, he
ought to have them.
II he wants to be temporary
chairman and permanent chairman
and the committee on credentials
and the committee on resolutions.
why should the crooks and the
bosses and the reactionaries be al
lowed to interpose objections?
If he wants to make the speech
nominating himself for president.
that Is his altar.
II he wants to cast the vote OF
all the 1918 delegates for himselB
and make the nomination by acA
clamation, no oligarch should be
permitted to stand in the way Of
pure democracy.
The ideal republican national
convention is one In which nobody
is present except the colonel, to-
gether with such clerical help as
may be necessary to complete the
official record of his deliberations.

were looking finer than were known
before at this season of the year
and after the hail storm there
was scarcely anything left worth
saving. The losses of many OF the
farmers foot up into thousands of
dollars. No real estimate of the
losses Is possible but it is safe to
say a quarter of a million dol
lars would not cover 1t in Prowers
county alone.
There is still time fortunately
to make a crop of beets and raise
feed crops. and many of our farm
ers are already at work getting
ready to put in these crops.
