FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.

Elsewhere appears a communication
from w. H. Maybach, president Of the
Farmers institute, addressed 70 the
Teachers, Patrons and Schools of
Barton county, calling ON them to as
S'St i'm making up an army of forty
thousand young folks, half boys, half
girls, the former to enter the corn
growing contest, and the latter 70
enter the contest for raising tomatoes
and sewing and bread baking. Mr..
Maybach is an enthusiast i'm this line,
and is ready and willing to assist any
who desire information. Barton coun-
tv. one of the best agricultural coun-
ties of the state, should not neglect
to Furnish her quota for this army,
whose aim will be to produce more
and better, and make Kansas a still
greater state. Boys and girls, come
on and help make this a hummer i'm
every respect.

AS USUAL.

As they usually do, the Supreme
Court of the United States has found
two different laws, passed by two diff
ferent states, bearing ON the ques-
ton OF taxing corporations, unconsti-
tutional One was the Oklahoma
gross revenue law, passed i'm 1910,
applicable to public service corpora
tons other than railroads. This law
had been regarded as an essential
unit of the Oklahoma taxing system.
The other one was the Colorado cor
pOration statute of 1907, levying an
annual state corporation license tax
Of two cents upon each thousand Of
capital stock of foreign corporations
doing business in the state. This law
was declared unconstitutional on the
ground that it was a burden upon in
terState commerce.

HARMED TO MAKE 1912 BANNER
YEAR.

The Larned Business Mems Asso-
ciapion has inaNgurated a vigorous
improvement campaign for 1912. A.
mmg the proposed projects are the
securing Of the STATE hospital for the
insane, the extension of the Larmad
branch OF the Santa Fe from Jetmcre
to Camden City, the extension of the
Lamed branch of the Missouri Pacific
fnom Harmed to Lacrosse, the oiIng
of certain streets for the formation
Of boulevard, the building of a city
hall, gymnasium, public library and a
large Second ward school building.
The prospects are bright for the sue
ceSSfuI elimination of all of these
measures.
And what is Great Bend doing?

A DEMOCRATIC, BANQUET.


Yourself and ladies ane cordially tn
Wted to attend the Neosho County
Democratic Banquet, etc, followed
by a fine program Of speeches, is the
way am invitation reads in the Erie,
NeoSho county Sentinel. And this is
not the only county IN which this has
bean pulled off, and successfully, but
It has been done In many others, and
In counties where the election of a
Democrat is rarity. They ane he'd
with one good, forceful outside speak
er and number Of the gentlemen
from the county In which the banquet
Is held in addition. But in this, Bar
ton county, where the Democrats
about always win everything, in the
banner Democrats county of the state
the number of votes being considered
giving Hodges $50 majority in 1910,
and Neeley $40 i'm 1912, We do not
seem TO have getup enough about us
to do a thing of that kind. The Re
publlicans tried it one year and then
quit. But it has seemed to us for
several years, that the Democrats Of
this county could do no better than
to hold a love feast once a year, for
the purpose Of renewing old acquarn-
tances, and getting together. We have
suggested the proposition to officers
of the central committee several
times but to no avail. We believe a
banquet with from 200 to 300 Demo
Gratis present could be easily arranged
and successfully carried out, and hops
yet to see it done.

FORTY THOUSAND STRONG.

Teachers, Patrons and Schools of
Barton County, take notice.
Forty thousand strong" is the
watchword for boys and girls con-
test for 1912. The state officials of
the Kansas Farmers Institute expect
to have 10000 boys enrolled in the
annual corn contest and an equal
army of girls in the tomato, sewing
and bread-making contest. This
means that all must get busy at once
and teachers and parents especially
should see TO it that Barton county
furnishes its full quota of contestants.
In so doing you aid in intoxicating
high and noble ideals in the minds of
the youths who in a few more years
will be the active citizens of the land.
Lend a hand and help the good
work along.

II was spoken of and will probably
be adopted that the Commercial club
