SWITCH nay BE BUILT FROM
gEY-MAR TO UNION BRIDGE.
Would Be Another Outlet for Port
land Tidewater Cement Products.

Surveyors are at work laying out
bed for railroad which. 1t Is said Will
run from Key-Mar to Union Bridge,
distance of q IrIfe less than four
miles. The plan. It is said, Is to prac-
tically make the road switch from
the Northern Central Railroad, at
Key Mar to Union Bridge to connect
with the TidewaIer Cement Plant at
that place.
The whole plan is one OF mere
speculation, however. on the part OF
those along the line which Is being
surveyed, but rumor has 1t that the
road is planned to connect the Penn
sylvania lines with the Union Bridge
Cement plant The road asit has
been surveyed, will follow the bed OF
Little Pipe Creek, almost the entire
distance and because Of this there
will be no grading to be done, and the
rumor Is that the ties will be laid on
top of the ground and little ballasting
done at the beginning.
No towns are reached by the road
or spur and this also leads to the be-
lief that it Is to be used only. or at
least principally. by the cement COM
pany. j.
1t Is claimed by the construction OF
this road that the cement plant VIII be
given another excellent outlet for its
product, and will open up to 1t ter
ritory from which 1t Ii now virtually
prohibited from entering because OF
high freight rates. It Is also claimed
that the cement company finds need
for more raw material than can be
gotten at Union Bridge, and because
of this the proposed connection would
prove of immense benefit.
The plans of those behind the move
ment are being carefully guarded and
IL has not been learned whether the
Cement Company or the Northern
Central Railroad Is building the line.
IL the line Is TO be only switch II Is
said either party building. will not be
entitled to condemnation proceedings
In order TO secure the rights Of way.
A railroad which carries passengers
and is for the use Of the public. has
this right. It Il said that without
much grading and without ballasting
a track, crossties and rails can be put
down for comparatively small sum.

Get 1t Saturday

AS announced last week, the
County Commissioners have
taken up the question of exter-
minating the grasshoppers and
Commissioner Cordes was in
town the fore part Of the week
distributing the poisen to those
who applied for it. The heavy
rains last week induced many of
the farmers to get into the fields
and put off coming to Meade for
the poisen until later date, and
Mr.. Cordes informs us, that the
demand has not been as great
for the polsen as it otherwise
would have been. A sufficient
supply is on hand and Com mis-
sioner Cordes desires us to an
nounce that he will be at his post
of duty all day Saturday and any
one desiring to be supplied,
need only to apply to him.

railroads permission to trans
port seed wheat to Kansas points
from places within the state
free of charge, was handed down
yesterday by the public utilities

The free rate will be granted
only on proper certifcation by
the county missioners that
the farmors are in need of help.

A GREAT
BIG RAIN
In Meade County, Crops Are
Saved, Farmers Happy

Just when everyone was out of
sorts and feeling blue, saying
all sorts of mean things about
the weather, and looking cross
and out of humor in general, a
great, big, nice, soaking rain
came along, cooled the atmos-
peere, sayed the feed crops, and
made the people smile.
Friday night the first good
rain in many weeks fell, followed
by another on Saturday night,
and by still another on Sunday
night, registering in all more
than an inch and one half.
These rains seem to have been
general, and prospects are eX-
cellent for an abundant feed crop
to say nothing of the excellent
condition the ground will be in
for the sowing of fall wheat.

FREE LAND

Dodge City, July 29.-Next
Tuesday will witness one of those
rapidly disappearing occasions
in this country, run" for
government land, when 10000
acres in Hamilton county will be
opened to entry. Prospective
settlers are arriving daily at the
Dodge land Office to look over
the plats of the land and to con-
suit with the officials about the
rules of the opening.
So far the Office here knows
but little of the details for Aug
ust 4, but the officials are giving
infor nation bout length of set
Element, required improvements
and filing regulations. The land
set aside for settlement is a part
of the government forest reserve
The land was set aside by con-
grcss a mum ber of years ago and
Uncle Sam has been trying to
raise trees there.
The experiment has not prov
ed a success and 10000 acres of
the reservation is to be given
back to the county for agricul-
tnral purposes. While it was
government land it was not on
the tax rolls. The opening will
make a decided increase in the
assessable property of Hamilton
county as well as bring in many
settlers. The land is good roll
ing prairie and land men expect
every claim will be taken on open
ing day. The details have not
been received from the land COM
missioner, but it is presumed it
will be conducted about as prev
ions openings have been. At a
given signal the settlers will be
allowed to start from the border
ysffhe reservation. First come,
2nFst served. will be the rule and
the men with the speediest
mounts expect to have their
choice of the land.

SILO TRAIN
AUGUST IL
Stops Al Meade Monday At
11:4O

How to fill the sllo, machinery
to use, and the problems relative
thereto will be discussed on the
Rock Island "Silage Special" by
speakers of experience from the
Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege. Every farmer is urged TO
visit this train when it comes to
Meade. All lectures will be
given from the train. Several
cars of exhibits will be carried.
"What kind of silo shall /
bulld?" This is the question
that many farmers are asking at
present. 1t is, indeed, an i'm
portant question. The silo
should be one of the permanent
fixtures of the farm. In addi-
tion to being permanent it should
also keep silage perfectly and be
moderate in cost. Model silos
that meet these requirements
will be shown on this train and
the speakers from the college
will give information on now to
build them.
The value OF silage as a feed
can hardly be over estimated.
1t has been proven that a forage
crop put into the silo is worth
so to rs per cent more than the
same crop saved and fed in the
ordinary way.
Modern industries have been
made pro6tab BILE and in many
cases possible by utilization OF
by-products. The same meth
DDS can be applied to the farm
One of the most valuable by.
products on the farm is the corn
fodder, large part of which is
usually wasted, but which can
be turned into the sllo. Full in
formation in regard to utilizing
this valuable by-product will be
given.
This train will be on time.
Remember the day and the time.

The following is now being
circulated regarding the grass
hopper situation at Dodge City
"Train No. 564 delayed forty
minutes; stalled by grasshoppers
The train was coming out of
Ford when it struck a deep cut
that always causes snow block
ade when there is snow storm.
The wind had blown dead hop
pers over the rails and as the en-
gine crushed the greasy bodies
the wheels spun and the train
stopped. Engineer Billy
Morgan bucked the slippery
rails three times in an attempt
to get through the cut. The at
tempts proved ineffective. The
train crew turned out with SHOW
els and scooped the hoppers off
the track and covered the rails
with sand before the train could
proceed"

PARENTS ACQUITTED

In the matter of the death of
the Sim mons child as mentioned
in last weeks issue, the parents
we're given preliminary hearing
and the remains of the child
we're analized and no traces of
violence we're found on it's body,
and the authorities did not deem
it proper to hold the parents for
the death of the child. II APP
pears the child was found in the
sand as stated in last weeks pa
per, but not buried as we were
told at that time; instead it was
leaning forward with one arm
over it's face and it's head resting
on its knee. 1t is supposed the
little fellow had dug a cave in
the sand bank ahd while playing
in the cave it fell in on him. The
spade which he had been Dig
ging with was found outside the
hole which led to his where
abouts.
Owing to- the lack of interest
shown by the parents an effort
was made to reopen the case and

in MEXICO

Washington, July 30--Presi-
dent Wilson has staked every
thing on the plan he is morking
out to conciliate the rival waring
factions in Mexico. He is car
rying ont the only policy under
international law which is not of
itself offensive to nation engage
ed in civil war. The present
activity of President Wilson is
understood to be due to the Joint
representations at the state de-
partment of five Europeanpow-
ers, led by Great Britain, who
suggest that this government
take steps to restore order in
Mexico or to be ready for eff
fective action by the powers.
President Wilson knows that
if Huerta, Carranza and the 9TH
er factional leaders reject his
tender of good Offices, there will
be nothing left to prevent the
incursion of the European pow
ers into Mexico but intervention
by the army and navy of the
United States.
The administration is using
first every means within its pow
er to get the ideas of the leaders
of the belligerants in Mexico.
The doors of the state depart
ment have been thrown open to
all factions in Mexico. This fol-
lowed swiftly the news that the
representations of foreign gov
ernments have been received at
the state department. 1t was
admitted officially that these ma
tions hadset forth impressions"
of affairs in Mexico; accounts of
menace to life and property; the
lack of national credit; the piling
up of indemnities and in general
the inability of the government
to pay its debts to foreign bond
holders, while at the same time
porperty values have decreased
more than so percent. 7
A state department official who
has this subject of property val
uation under consideration, says
that the prediction of the war
bad reduced many properties to
less than forty per cent. Sum-
med up, the situation is this:
The president has virtually
turned physical intervention
over to congress.
Having cleared the atmosphere
so far as the White House is
concerned in that way, he is con-
fining himself to his duty of in
tervening automatically. This
by the tender of good Offices and
efforts for concillation, which
are in progress.
If congress should wish to send
the Atlantic fleet to Mexico it is
now off New London, ready.

School Notes

Mr.. Paul HelSel who Will act
as principal of our high school
for next year, spent Monday and
Tuesday in Meade. He and
Mrs. Helsel plan to move to
Meade sometime near the middle
of next month. Mr.. Helsel is
young man of pleasing appear
ance and is very enthusiastic
oyer the work for next year.
He is graduate of Northwest
ern University and is now pre-
pairing work towards Masters
Degree from the same institu-
tion.
Several of the Meade County
boys and girls are seeking work
for the coming school year.
Quite number of places have
already been secured but as yet
we have about three applicants
for each position. We would
urge that any business concern
or family that can possibly give
employment to some boy or girl,
to notify some member of the
scheol board or Supt. Hamilton.
Every job means new student
for the Meade County High
School. Also, we would ask that
every young person of the coun-
ty, who must have work in order
to attend school notify us and
we shall do all that we can to Sc
cure suitable places.
The Meade Public School will
open Sept. Sth. One hundred
students for the Meade County
High School should take notice,
Petitions are now being circu'
lated for the purpose of voting
$4,000 bonds to erect and equip
two new school rooms and alsC
to arrange for drainage ani
toilets for the present building
Nearly enough names have been
secured and the election will be
held within two weeks.
Something must be done tc
relieve the crowded conditions
of the schools and this seems tc
be the only feasible plan. A new
high school building is out OF
the question at present because
of the crop failure. Suita able
quarters cannot be rented and
the cost of renting and equipping
an uptown room for a couple of
years would be almost as much
as the cost of erecting two new
rooms. Also the rental and the
expense for equipment would
come out of our general fund
and our district would be soon
running behind in the matter of
finances. The present plan is
to erect two rooms just west of
the present building. These
will be heated by our present
plant and will require no extra
stoves nor heating system. The
present closets will be removed
and new sanitary ones will be
placed just east of the school
building. These changes will
provide our schools with room
and suitable facilities for some
years to come.
