A MILLION
DOLLAR RAIN
Nearly Two Inches Of Rain
In Twenty-Four Hours.

Threatening weather, accom-
panied by light showers, was
prevalent Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday morning. About four
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon a
heavy rain began falling, contin-
uing throughout the remainder
of the afternoon and night and
all day Wednesday.
The rain gauge at the Meade
State Bank this morning regis
tered 1.31 inches.
Reports from all parts of the
county are to the effect that the
rain was general and in sufficient
quantity to be of unestlmated
value to the county.
Up to this time, little wheat
has been reported as suff ering
for the want of rain. Moisture
from the winters snow has kept
the wheat in reasonably good
condition thus far. The recent
rain will do much toward max
ing the 1913 wheat crop.
AS soon as conditions will per.

planting of spring crops will be

A BOOST FOR

Kansas Progress Compared
With Missouri

burn, of Kansas, interest every
one, and carry weight in the
market places. The excerpts
from the year book of the Anti
Saloon league cannot fail to in
terest every Kansan, and they
are also meant to carry weight.
Here are a few of the facts
CLEANED from the report:
Missouri has more natural ad-
Yantages than Kansas, such as
mineral deposits, forests, and
richer soil, more rainfall and a
nearer market. 1t is a much
older state than Kansas. Its
population is nearly double that
of Kansas, Missouri having
100000 population and Kansas
having 100000 population.
Missouri has three cities much
larger than any in Kansas. In
Kansas there is hardly a town
of 1,5o0 population but has its
electric lights, water and sewer
system, while in Missouri, num-
bers of towns of four and five
thousand population have nc
paved streets, electric lights, or
water system. In Missouri the
assessed valuation is ST, $50, 600
900. In Kansas the assessed
valuation is So, 100000. Ir
Missouri, the assessed valuation
is $500 per capita, In Kansas
the assessed valuation is $1,75(
per capita. In the panic of 1907
when eastern banks appealed Il
those in the west for money Il
ease up the situation, Missouri
with all its large banks in its
large cities. refused to send one
penny to the east, while the Kan
sas bankers got together $50, 900
600 and sent it to help eastern
banks in their emergency. II
Missouri there is $40 per capita
deposited in the banks, in Kan
sas there is over 500 per capita
deposited in the banks.
In Missouri one farmer in one
hundred owns an automobile, in
Kansas one farmer in FIVE owns
an auto.
In Missouri common labor
gets eight dollars per week, and
in Kansas com mon labor gets
$l4 per week.
Why these differences? The
Year Book offers this explana-
ton: I'm Missouri there are
over $4,000 saloons, into which
the people of the state pay
$50, 900, 100000 year. In Kan
sas there are no saloons. Mis-
sourians spend on average of
$24 per year for liquors. Kan
sans spend on an average of S1.4S
per year for liquor, Therefore
Missouri has been wasting her
resources in the saloon while
Kansas has been depositing her
money in the banks. "--Hutchin-

THE STOCK
EXCHANGE
Fourth OF A Series Of Pujo
Committee Articles
By Congressman Neeley

BY Congressman Neeley
The present New York Stock
Exchange was re organized in
in 1869 by consolidation of the
Open Board of Brokers and the
New York Stock Exchnge,
which later amalgmated with
what was known as the Govern
ing Board and the Mining Ex-
change, increasing it's member
ship to 1000, where it has since
remained.
The prime purposes in its
organization is alleged to have
been to furnish a market for
stocks, bonds, and commodities,
and its business has grown
from gross sale of $4,000, 900
shares OF stock and $413,000,0 900
of bonds in 1879 tc l29, 1924, 169
shares of stock and 1914, 942, 420
of bonds in 1912. with loss fire.
quently aggregating $50,0O0,0oO
in single day.
At the time of this consolidate
ion, membership sold at from
$4,000 to $4,000 each. They
now bring about $4,000, al
though they have sold as high as
$95, 900; the only way by which
one may become a member is
either by purchasing a seat from
some one now a mem Der or sec
ure any vacancy that may exist.
The applicant must then pay an
imitation fee of $1,000, secure
the assent of two-thirds of the
Committee on Admissions, and
agree to pay dues of 500 per
year.
The rules of the Exchange
arbitrarily require that both
buyers and seller shall pay a
brokers com mission of one-eighth
of one percent on each $100 OF
face value of the stock, regard.
less of it's actual value, and
gives members of the Exchange
preference IN the payments OF
debts in case of insolvency.
Let us illustrate by assuming
that John Smith, living in Kans-
as, sends ST, 900 to his brother in
New York to invest in certain
stock selling at 20 cents on the
dollar. The order is executed,
and Smith must pay his purchas-
ing broker a commission, not
upon the 81, 900 invested, but up
on the $4,000 face value of the
stock and the broker who made
the sale to Smiths broker also
charged a similar commission on
the same mount. The Ex-
change requires that this COM
mission be charged in all cases,
and if broker should make any
exceptions for the first offense
he is suspended from the Ex-
change for from one to five years
and for the second offence he is
completely barred and his seat is
confiscated, Notwithstanding
that this rule absolutely pro-
hibits all competition between
the mem bers of the Exchange.
Suppose also, that Smith pur-
chased this stock as a speculation
and at the time he sends in his
81 900, he instructs his broker
to hold the stock until it advances
to 25 or to 81, ESQ, and then to
sell. The broker puts the stock
in his vault, and in the meantime
needs money. The Exchange
permits him to hypotheeate
Smiths stock at the banks with
out Smiths knowledge or con-
sent. And if in the meantime
the broker becomes bankrupt,
each one of the LOO members
must first be paid in full, before
Smith gets single cent.
Before any stock may be sold

100000 VOTED
TO AID FARMERS
Meat Packers Association to
Show Profits in Beef.
TO LOWER COST OF LIVING
Convention In Chicago Asserts Gov
eminent Increases Meat Prices
by Demanding Change of
Labels Too Often.

Chicago, Sept 24.-Five hundred
thousand dollars was voted by the
American Meat Packers association
in session here Monday to stimulate
cattle raising. This step was taken
as the result of the situation which
the packers declare confronts the coun-
try-a meat famine by Iceland to
lower the high cost of living.
This was decided by the meat pack
ers at their annual convention, on the
motion of Gustav Bischoff, Sr., Of the
Independent Packing company, st
Louis, president of the organization.
In making his motion for the crea
ton of an educational fund Mr.. Bisch
off pointed out that the farmers are
not raising beef cattle because they do
not consider it profitable.
What the farmers of the country
need is education along the lines OF
how to operate their FARMS" said Mr.
Bischoff They imagine that the only
way they can make both ends meet is
to raise ar abundance of grains and
feed no beef cattle.
"As a matter of fact, there lis not a
farmer in the land who could not
raise a few beef cattle to good advan-
tage What the farmers need is edu-
cation. With this in mind, | move
that fund of 100000 year be voted
for period of five years, to be ex-
pended among the farmers in cam
paign of education. Until the farmers
raise cattle for beef, the price Of meat
cannot be lowered. AS long as the sup
ply is scant the price must of neces-
sity be high"
The motion to create the 100000
educational fund was carried by unani-
nous vote. and President Bischoff will
appoint a committee to devise ways
and means for carrying on this work.
Another packer who held the farmer
responsible for the high cost Of meats
was Charles F. Kamrath of Spokane,
Wash
IF every farmer could be induced to
raise one or two beef steers, the high
cost of meats would be almost solved"
he said.
M. A. Traylor vice-president Of the
National Stock Yards National bank,
East st. Louis. ILL.,, recommended that
banks be empowered to loan money on
future cattle shipments, the same as
they now do on grain crops.
James S. Agar, chairman of spe-
cial committee appointed at the last
session of the association to confer
with government officials as to the
cause of the high price of meats, as
serted that meats were sold at high
er figure because the government de-
mands frequent changing of labels.
