First In Meade County

The first silo erected in Meade
county is to be seen on the farm
of r. w. Grubbs, located few
miles south of Meade.
AS we stated in last weeks
News, the first shipment of silos
has arrived. Mr.. Grubbs, being
overly enthusiastic, is the first of
those who have purchased silos,
(twelve in all) to have his erect
ed. The capacity of this silo is
seventy-fve tons.
The other eleven are now in
course OF erection and we hope
to be permitted to note their
completion within very short
time.
Farmers who erect silos will
have green feed for their stock
all winter.

Largest Check on Record

A. H. Friesen and H. F. Isaac,
doing business under the firm
name cf Friesen & Isaac, and
who live south of Meade, are the
two gentlemen to whom the larg-
est check ever given in Meade
county in payment for wheat,
has been made payable to. The
check bore the signature of
H. H. Butler, owner and pro-
prietor of the East Elevator.
This check amounted TO
S5,655.4O and was given in pay
ment for 7,l4923 bushels of
wheat.
Friesen & Isaac had out about
900 acres and the wheat deliver
ed was from 400 acres. the re-
naming 200 acres are yet te be
thaeshed. The average yield
was from IS to 20 bushels per
acre, and tested from SO to 62
bounds.
The wheat was contracted for
by H. H. Butler and was hauled
directly from the machine to his
elevator.
Mr.. Friesen and Mr.. Isaac
have not been residents of this
county but few years, but dur
ing that time they have farmed
quite extensively and have been
more than successful.

No Shortage of Teachers.

Along with a hundred million
bushel wheat crop, big yields in
all other crops so far harvested,
and prospects good for corn
crop, State Superintendent E. T..
Fairchild has announced that the
great Sunflower State proudly
boasts of having the largest crop
of teachers ever recorded in the
state, and further states, that
for the first time in her history
there is no shortage of teachers.
Every county in the state has all
the teachers needed, and several
have mum ber to spare.
The fact that the normal cours-
es in the high schools have turn
ed out large mum Der, is partly
responsible for the increase, and
then too, the extreme western
sectionof the state must be given
a just share of credit, for Supt.
Fairchild states thot a large per-
cent of the increrse is due to the
fact that many of the old-time
teachers in that part of the state
who have not taught for years,
have secured certificates and
will again enter the ranks.
1t must be kept in mind that
with the increase in the nun ber
OF teachers, also comes the re-
suit of the new certificate law,
which requires that every teach
er, to be entitled to a certificate,
must have completed at least one
years high school. Next year
the law will require two years of
high school work, the next year
it will require three years high
school work, and in four years
any one to be entitled to certi-
fcate, must have completed a
four-year high school course.
lt!will be long step toward the
butterment of our Kansas pub
lie schools, which already COM
pare favorably with those of 9TH
er states.

have not been able to see
many of you for the reason that |

my office, and consider it more i'm
portant that l should attend TO the
business for which l have been elect

for the purpose of making cam
paign.

appreciate your support for re-nom-
ination for the Office of Register of
Deeds.

der such assistance as | can, TO any
citizen desiring to examine my rec

The Office of Register of Deeds is
very important one, in that the
Register is to great extent, the
guardian of the title to real estate

pends largely upon the accuracy of
the official records. Land owners
cannot afford to experiment with so
important matter, or take any un-
necessary chances of placing in this
Office one who is not thoroughly
competent. And however intelli
gent and honest he may be, unless
he has some adequate knowledge of
title, he is not properly qualified to
keep the official records

ord, and l certainly will appreciate
your support.

Twenty Six and One-Half
Bushels Per Acre

K. Il. Worman, who lives two
miles east of Meade, has Just fin
ished threshing part of his big
wheat crop, and the yield was
far above what he had expected.
Mr.. Worman had out about
500 acres, but at this time only
threshed about 100 acres. Ia
order to get the work done in a
short time, he put on a force of
30 men and p men, Inless than
four days, 5000 bushels of grain
had been threshed, of this large
amount, 4018 bushels were rails
ed on Mr.. Worman's 100, and
the remainder belonged to one
of his neighbors.
The grain was perfectly free
from weed seed, and was of the
proper color for No. 1 wheat but
the berry was too large. The
grain tested 63 pounds to the
bushel.
The remainder of Mr.. Wor-
mans wheat will perhaps yield
about the same when threshed.

Primary Tuesday August 6.

Miss Agnes Wehr1e, who has
had editorial charge of The
Meade News for some time past,
purchased that paper last week
and assumes full control. Miss
Wehrle understands the busj-
ness, is capable, and has given,
and will continue to give, the
readers of The News a good pa
per. Itused to be an uucom mon
occurrence to find a woman pub
fishing newspaper. For long
time the editor of the Herald en-
joyed the distinction of being
the only woman editor" in Ok
lahoma or this section of the
southwest. Now there's scads
of them, and SO far as we have
observed, they are making just
about as "howling success" of IT

THE Meade County News"
which was formerly owned by
The Meade Publishing Company
has been purchased by Miss
Agnes Wehrle who assumed
complete charge and manage
ment with last weeks issue!
Miss Wehrle has had charge of
the plant for the past year and
so TO her Of course belongs the
credit of making The News one
of the best papers which come
to our exchange table. Judging
entirely from the paper as we
have known it since our advent
into this neck o. the woods about
seven months ago, we do not be-
lieve the paper could have fallen
into more efficient hands and we
hope her people will stand by
her, George Wehrle will con-
time to have charge of the Job
Department. We wish Miss
Wehrle the best of success.

To TIVE REPUBLICANS OF THIS


JUDICIAL DISTRICR:
For almost six years l have
had the honor of being judge of this
district. During that time you have
had an opportunity of discovering
what kind of man your judge is.
To-day l am candidate for the re-
publican nomination for congress,
and my success or failure depends
largely upon the voters of this ju-
dicial district. Last November you
gave me splendid support. The
vote of these six counties where
held court stood 3o8 for Mr.. Hop
kins; 1873 for fudge Martin; II for
Mr.. Harry; and 1887 for myself.
The same proportionate vote upon
August 9th will give me the nomina-
ton. 1t was great pleasure to me
to know that my vote last fall was
greatest where was best known.
AT that time 1t was reported and be-
lieved by many that Finley had no
show for the nomination, and that
cost me many votes, yet the result
showed me running second in the
race, being defeated by Judge Mar
tin by only ITO votes.
My politics are of the progress
i've type of Republcanism.
For SIX years | have endeavored
to serve you honestly and faithfully
as your judge. If honored with a
seat in congress, l will make the
same effort to honestly and faithful
ly represent you at Washington.
If you have faith in me and would
like to see the congressman come
from this judicial district, 60 vCIb
Iyour friends to the primary next
Tuesday and place a cross opposite
my name.
Thanking you in advance for any
aid you san give my candidacy
am,
Very s'uly yours,

5000 Bushels Per Day

We were slightly mistaken in
our estimation of the amount of
wheat being brought daily to
Meade, and from what we have
since1earned, the amount mar
keted here each day will easily
average 5000 bushels. Both of
our elevator men say they have
all they can do to handle the
large quantity of wheat being
brought to Meade each day.

In The Million Class.

Reports now point toward a
one hundred million bushel
wheat crop this year, the largest
crop on record, Since not enough
wheat has been threshed to
make an exact estimate, still it
is believed that hundred mill
ion bushels will not be far
wrong.
We give below some of the es-
timated yields as reported to
the eastern grain markets:
