lNimrod Johnson, superintendent of

description of a luminous arc light

Cincinnati and elsewhere and argued
that this method of Illuminating Main
street is superior to the cluster light
system

sive to install and can be controlled
directly from the power plant, a SUI
perior method over the cluster light
system.
A. l.. Woke, who appeared before
the board peeved because he was re-
fused a discount on a light bill after
the tenth of the month, left the meet
ing satisfied when he learned that
Mayor Zimmerman and Mr.. Kennepoh1
had both payed full amounts because
they neglect to pay before the tenth.
He was told that no exceptions are
before the tenth if he wants the reduc-
ton.
Refuse To Buy Lots.
The proposition of Levi Peacock

Burn Your Trash Paper

With spring house cleaning
comes the tendency to throw the
old trash papers out and let the
wind take them. This, at first
thought, seems an easy method
of disposing of them, but stop a
moment and think. Some one
else thinks this an easy way and
does likewise. "The wind will
take them" So IT does, yours
into some one else's yard and
some one else's into. yours, and
so they blow all summer, against
fences, in the yards, and streets,
and not infrequently under
horses feet. 1t won't take long
to burn all such trash some calm
evening and then you will be
sure that they will annoy no
one. We feel sure that such an
act will be fully appreciated by
those who nave woven wire fences
of any kind. at least.

Championship to Meade

The Meade High School basket
ball team cinched the High
School championship of South
west Kansas, last Saturday night
by defeating the Cimarron High
School team by score of II to
IS. The Meade team took the
lead in the early part of the game
and never allowed the visitors to
overtake it. The Cimarron tea m
displayed some of the best team
work that has been seen in
Meade this season, but the strong
and active defensive work of
the Meade guards prevented
Cimarron from making a high
er score. McMeel was the in-
dividual star for Meade, his de.
fenslve work was excellent, and
his long shots for goals helped
Meade to pile up the score. The
Campbell brothers played their
usual strong game, both scoring
fourteen points for Meade, This
game ends the basket ball S6asor
for this year. Meade has beer
very successful, the High Schoo
having lost but one game this
season, out of seven games
which is record that few teams
can equal.
