SEVENTEEN
Double Header Results in a
Double Victory For Us

A good big crowd, two good
games, no hard feelings, and a
double victory for Meade, these
few words, in measure, tell the
whole story.
Last Friday evening as had
previously been advertised, the
First and the Second basket ball
teams of the Fowler Friends
Academy played the High school
team and the Eighth Grade team
of our city school.
The first game called was the
Second Academy team VS.. the
Meade Eighth Grade team. 1t
was a good fast game, with some
good plays on both sides, At
the close Of the first half Meade
was in the lead, and kept it
throughout the remainder of the
game. The score piled up as if
by magic and when the game
ended Meade had AZ against the
opposing teams II.
In the second game, it was the
First Academy team VS.. The
High School team, Our boys
seemed to have caught the win
ming spirit and were soon well
in the lead of the opposing team.
They too seemed to possess the
same magic power for throwing
goals. AS to size and weight
the teams compared well but in
ability for making points Meade
out ranked the visitors at the
rate of IS to II.
The games we're both good
ones and the most commendable
feature of the whole affair was
the fact that the best of feeling
prevailed throughout the entire
evening.
1t is understood that return
game will be played soon.

Crop Conditions

The wheat plant in good con
dition, reports to grain men O

damage by lack of moisture, bu
most of the correspondents say
the plant is in fine shape.

The editor of the Bucklin Ban

looking good, and while it is not
growing much is holding out

in any reasonable length of time
will be in first class condition

S. p. Mills, of near Garfield,
says the wheat is needing mois-

believes he has lost 40 acres of
the 100 he has planted.
J. o. Padgett. of Fowler, re-
ports wheat prospect poor in his
section on account of lack of
moisture. There has been no
good rain there since August
and much of the wheat is lying
in the ground as dry as when
planted.
The postmaster at Plans,
Meade county, reports: much
Of the wheat sown late in the fall
has not yet had moisture enough
to sprout it, but heavy fall of
wet snow would be sufficient to
put it in good condition if re-
ceived this month or next"
The Santa Fe Railway com.
pany has issued this wheat con-
dition report:
Reports from station agents
and others to the general freight
department of the Santa Fe rail-
way, are that the condition of
winter wheat in Kansas, Colo
rado, Oklahoma, New Mexico and
the Panhandle country is most
favorable better than it was a
year ago at this time.
Wheat made fine progress in
the early fall, being well rooted.
1t was therefore, able to stand
the dry weather, which was gen.

damage, the snow, also general,
came at a time when farmers

At Rest

1t is with feeling of regret
that we must this week note the
departure from this life of one
of our most loved and respected
citizens.
On Sunday January IS, 1913
after a lingering illness of sever
al years, Mrs. ]. N. Stamper
departed this life. Though con-
fined to her home for a number
of years, she was of a cheerful
disposition and always had a
smile and word of cheer for
those who called to see her.
A loving wife and a devoted
mother has gone to her eternal
reward, but the memory of her
love and devotion to her family
will be as guiding light to them
through the years to come.
Mary c. Agee was native of
Virginia. She was born on
October y, 1880, Emlgrated
to Tennessee in early life and
there grew to womanhood. On
April 1, 1852 she was united in
marriage to John N. Stamper,
and to this union eight children
were born, six girls and two
boys, two of the girls having
passed away in early life. In
1879 the family came to Kansas
locating in Butler county. In
1885 they moved to Garden City,
and few years later they moved
to Meade county where they
have since resided.
The surviving members of the
family are: The aged husband,
John N. Stamper, Miss Bette
Stamper, Mrs. Louise Mclean,
and Mr.. and Mrs. James l.
Stamger and daughter Jamie, of
Meade, Kansas, Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Stamper and son and
daughter, Kyle and Inez, of
Portland, Oregon, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. G. C. Bierer, son and daugh-
ter, Gordon and Louise, of
Guthrie, Oklahoma. and Mr..
and Mrs. E. l.. Tebbe and son
Gerald, of Perry. Oklahoma.
The children, with the ex-
ception of John, with their faith
er we're at the bedside when the
end came.
The funeral services were
held Monday, from the residence
conducted by Rev. Baker of the
M. E. Church. The beautiful
floral offerings, making an en-
bankment about the casket, and
the large number who came to
pay their last tribute of respect,
signified the love and respect
of relatives and friends.
The remains were laid to rest
in Graceland Cemetery.
A host of friends sympathize
with the bereaved relatives.

WAR ON
CHINCH BUGS
Present Winter Has Been q
Favorable One For Pests

Should the Chincb bugs go un-
checked and destroy the graia
and forage crops of Kansas in
1913 the loss would be verv SER
iously felt by every man, woman
and child in the state whether
living in the country or town.
Everyone should get busy inn.
mediately to burn these pests.
Every farmer should burn
trash on his farm and combine
with his neighbors to burn the
trash along the roadside and on
nonresident lands. The Anti
Horse Thief Association, the
Grange, the Farmers Union and
all other organizations should
act at once.
Each County Commissioner
should organize his part of the
county and have the burning
through. The County Superin-
tendent of Schools should have
the danger from chinch bugs
discussed in every school room
and get every pupil to spread
the alarm. Road overseers
should burn all trash along the
roads and interest the people in
burning all trash on farms and
vacant lots. Fire Departments
IN cities should superintend the
burning of trash on vacant lots.
Every bank should take the
matter up with all correspond
ents and customers. Merchants
should get their customers to
burn the bugs. Grain dealers,
millers, and broom corn buyers
should push the matter. The
telephone companies should urge
everyone having phone to burn
trash. Commercial Clubs Cred
it Associations and other busi-
ness organizations should use
every possible effort to have the
bugs burned.
Editors should use all the in
fiuence of their papers and their
strongest personal efforts to get
these pests destroyed.
There is great danger that
unless the Chinch bugs are de-
stroyed this winter they will
seriously damage the grain and
forage crops next summer
throughout Kansas. These
bugs did much damage to small
grams and feed crops last seas
on and the fall and winter have
been unusually favorable for the
old bugs.
At the beginning of cold wealth
er the old bugs went into winter
quarters in the corn stalks and
in grass and weeds particularly
along fence rows and in ravines,
meadows, pastures and grassy
spots in cultivated fields.
The cbinch bugs start feeding
and breeding early in the spring
in the young wheat and oats,
They multiply with great rapid
ity and just before harvest time,
if conditions are favorable, they
are in such numbers as to de-
stroy much of the small grain.
When the grain fields are har-
vested. the chinch bugs leave
them and attack the corn, Ekafir
corn, broom corn and forage
crops and injure them as much
or more than the wheat.
Repeated tests made by ex-
perts of the Kansas Agricultur-
al College have shown that if all
grass, cornstalks, weeds and
trash sheltering these pests is
burned, 985 out of every 1000
will be destroyed and others left
unprotected. The burning must
be done close to the ground as
