German Birth-Rate Declines.

Berlin, July 24.-The governm ent is greatly concerned over the rapidly falling birthrate in Germany, and the Ministry of Interior has circularized various authorities urging them to make a thorough investigation.

An Unfortunate Text.

The widower had just taken
his fourth wife and was showing
her around the village. Among
the places visited was the church
yard, and the bride paused be-
fore very elaborate tombstone
that had been erected by the
bridegroom. Being little near
sighted, she asked him to read
the inscriptions, and in reverent
tones he read:
Here lies Susan, beloved wife
of John Smith, and Jane, beloved
wife of John Smith, and Mary,
beloved wife of John Smith. "
He paused abruptly and the
bride leaning forward to see the
bottom line, read with horror:
"Be Ye Also Ready. "-Ex.

July D. They have spent a
year or more in Arkansas and
the St. Louis Repu blic and other
papers gave account of the show
IN a series of articles under the
captain of Hell on The From
tier" relating to the experiences
of a wagon show among the
fighting Hill Billies of the noun
tains in Arkansas, which would
be good reading IN book form.
They carry the usual unusually
good show, fine trained ponies,
and horses, good chorus and
many other interesting and in
structive features.

Died

Grandma Hale departed this
life, Thursday, July y, after
lingering illness lasting several
months. All was done that could
be to relieve her suffering, by the
mem bers of the Roberts family,
but to no avail.
Mrs. Hale came to Meade
county in the early days with
]. +, Roberts Sr. and family,
with whom she made her home
for almost forty years. She was
we'll known throughout Meade
county, and was one of those
persons whose lives make the
world better.
Nancy M. Cornett was born
in Grayson county, Virginia, on
July %, 1928. She was married
to James d. Hale, September 20,
1848. To this union one child
was born, Rosamond A. Hale, on
July IA, l849.
On July p, 1864 James D.
Hale was killed by one of the
bush-whackers as he stood in
his own door.
In 1889, with her daughter,
Mrs. Hale moved to Missouri;
from there to Colorado in 1877;
to Rice county, Kansas in 1880,
and to Meade county in 1887,
where they have since resided.
Funeral services were held on
Friday afternoon at the residen-
ce, conducted by Rev. Baker of
the NJ. e. church, and inter-
ment made in Graceland ceme-
terry.
The sympathy of all goes out
to those who are left to mourn.

Band Concert

The Meade Band will give a

evening. The boys are entitled
to a good audience as nothing is
more discouraging than to ar
range to give an open air concert
and then have only few out to
hear them. Get the habit of 60
ing, it will do you good and at
the same time make the boys
feel that their efforts are APP
preciated.

Naming The Presidence.

We find 'tis difficult to learn
The Presidents by name,
And give to each his rightful turn
AS they in order came.
The first one was George Wash
ington,
The noble, truthful one.
The second was John Adams
Then Thomas Jefferson.
The fourth was James Madison
The fifth was James Monroe
John Quincy Adams was the
sixth,
Then Jackson came you, know
The eighth was Van Buren.
Next Harrison was seen;
Then Tyler, Polk and Taylor
And Fillmore made thirteen,
Next Pierce and then Buchanan,
Then Lincoln, wise and brave,
Through war preserved the
Union
Then filled martyrs grave,
Then Johnson finished Lincoln's s
turn
Next General Grant, then
Hayes;
Garfield the second martyr,
And Arthur filled his days.
Next Cleveland and then Har-
rison,
Then Cleveland comes again,
And then we had Mckinley
Another martyred man.
Then Roosevelt was the man
for us,
And Taft was next selected.
And in the campaign of 1912,
Most anyone may be elected,

Government Land Yet To Be
Found.

There is still plenty of ID nd in
Western Kansas open to settle
ment bv the homesteader. H.
F. Milliken, recorder of the gov
ernment land Office at Dodge
City, says that there is 10000 TO
so, 900 acres in the western end
of the state open to settlement
and that some of it is we'll worth
proving up on.
There is no settlement land in
Ford'county or Gray or Haskell.
Most of it is in Morton county,
although there is some in the
southern part of Finney county.
Three Reno county men have
recently taken quarter sections
in Morton county. They were
prompted to do this when they
saw former neighbor of theirs
in Reno county gathering crop
of broom corn that netted him
5000 ton from his Morton coun-
ty homestead.
Now that the new homestead
law has been passed, settlers
may make final proof on their
land after three years settle.
ment instead of being compelled
to live on the land five years.
This new law is proving popular
with the settlers, Notice of the
provisions of the new law were
sent out to three thousand set
tiers by the Dodge City Office
and as a result the mail that is
being received now is enormous.
Every settler is interested and
writes to ask for infor nation on
some point that he does not un-
derstand. About $50 applica-
tions have been made for final
proof under the new law by set
tiers who have already lived on
tAeirland the three years now
req uired. Opportunity is given
the settlers to prove up under
the old law if they desire, but in
that case they must notify the
land Office within a specified
time, If no notification is re-
ceived it is taken for granted
that they will prove up under
the three-year law.-Dodge City

The Valley.

Some Meade people took spin
through the valley Tuesday eve
ming, and report that that section
of the country looks better than
it has for several years, at this
time of the season. Many are
cutting their second crop of
alfalfa, which is exceptionally
heavy, although there are many
fields that are covered with a
growth, about two feet high,
of what will make Al alfalfa.
Several fields have not been cut
this year, but are going to seed.
From the looks of these fields,
one would predict that much
money will be placed in circula-
ton by the sale of this valuable
seed.
On the Miller ranch, can be
found some of the tallest wheat
and barley in the county. The
wheat is exceptionally good, and
will average about twenty bush
els per acre or more, and the
barley is filled out better than
any seen in this section for sew
eral years.
A trip through the valley at
this season of the year convinc-
es one that there is no place like
Meade Comfy. Such wheat,
barley and alfalfa cannot be
beaten in any section of the state
and these com blned with good
water, and the most healthful
climate that can be found, go to-
gether to make Meade County
the banner county of the South
west.

The premium list for the fall

attention has been given to all
Meade county products, includ-
ing stock, grain, farm products,
and fruits. AS we suggested
last week, it will be we'll for all
those who expect to have exhib-
its at the fair to begin now to
save samples. With the pros
poets now for excellent crops of
all kinds, our display ought to
be far ahead of what it was last
year. Everyone who has any
thing to exhibit, should feel suf-
ficiently interested in the well
fare of Meade county to get up a
nice assortment OF their pro-
ducts for display.

Production of Coal in Kan
sas.

SdS.
The psoduction Of coal in Kan
sas in 1911 was 6,254,22S short
tons, valued atS9, ,645, 5S2, accord
ing to statement made public
by e. w. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey, COM
piled from data collected by the
Federal Survey and the Kansas
Geological Survey.
In proportion to its coal pro-
duction Kansas suffered more
than any other State in the Miss
issippi Valley region from the
labor troubles in 1910, the de-
crease from the output for 1909
being 29.56 per cent and the pro-
duction being the lowest decade,
4,921, ,45l short tons, valued at
81, ,9l4,709. The production in
1911 increased l,322,777 short
tons, or 27.O8 per cent, in guam
tity aud ST, 1,73C,863, or 21.S7 per
cent, in value. This, however,
was not enough to bring the total
up to normal, for the production
in 1911 was nearly $4,000 tons
less than the average production
of the preceding five years,
which included the greatly re-
duced tonnage of 1910.
In 1910 there were 1880 men
employed in the coal mines of
Kansas, and of these, 10,346, or
80 per cent, were idle during the
six months strike. The average
number of working days in that
year was l48. The average pro-
duction for each man was 3S2
tons for the year, or 2.S85 tons a
working day. In 1911 there were
,625 men employed for an av.
erage of 189 days, the average
production for each man being
53s tonssfoF the year or 2,S5 tous
a day.
The major part of the coal out
put of Kansas is used for loco
motive fuel and some of the larg'
er mines are operated by the
fuel departments of the rail
roads or by companies affiliated
with the transportation interests
None of the product of such
mines is marketed com mercially.
What is true of shooting coal
off the solid in the other States
of the Mississippi Valley region
applies with equal force to Kan.
sas. Out of a total of $685. 15e
short tons for which the methods
of mining we're reported to the
Geological Survey for 1911, the
quantity of coal shot of the solid
was 4,565,l40 short tons, or 899
per cent.
