Butler County Farmers Don't Fear
Another DrOuth.

Eldorado. Sept. 3.-Butler county
farmers will increase the county's
wheat acreage this fall. Many acres of
winter wheat will be planted in all
parts of the county
Many farmers from all parts of the
county have been here after wheat to

acreage of this over the county will
increase this year.
Il think that there will be much more
wheat planted this year than ever be-
FORE w. A. Beaumont, grain dealer,
said. THE Butler county farmers,
most of them, are going to plant soft
wheat, because it makes more pasture.
There is some call for winter oats, too,
and rye is much in demand"
Butler county is gaining a little each
year in wheat acreage. The northwest
part of the county is raising more
wheat than any other part, but other
parts are raising more each year.

Hot Discussion
Ends Quietly
Just as If Oil Had been Spread
On the Troubled
Waters

On account of the bid of ]. f
Seaver for the paving on West Third
street being put in Contrary to the
legal right in the case, g, hot discus
sion came up in the meeting of the
board of Commission ThuTday after.
noon, The other two contractors
Jake Byers and Perry Taylor, made
the statement that they felt that they
had not been treated quite squarely
by allowing Mr., Seaver to change his
bid
Johnson said he was trying to do
the best he could in the matter and
explained the circumstances to the
property owners of West Third street
who to the number of nearly dozen
had gathered to hear about the con.
tract His remarks were answered
by Mr.. ByerS and neither one had eX-
pressed very complimentary opinions
Of the other. City Attorney S. G.
Brown then took the floor. '"ITll tell
you just how this muss all came
about. 1t is due to my liberal con-
struction of the bidding, and when
Seaver told me he had forgotten to
put one bid in one place told him
that thought the Commission would
allow him to have City Clerk Amyx
make the change. This was done,
and that is just what allthis buga-
boo is about. | have told Byers or
Taylor the same thing, never Thought
a thing about how much Importance
would be attached to it, but next time
I'll know better than to put a liberal
on anything of this sort.
There is no reason to blame Johnson
for anything about it."
