A Heart to Heart

Book1overs
DO NOT CUT OUT TOO MANY
ANSWERS

ANSWERS.
If you would only follow the advice
we have been giving YOU all through
this contest it would not be necessary
for US to talk to you on the subject
this evening But we are receiving so
many inquiries by telephone and by
mail on this important subject, that
we deem II our duty to make this point
clear, if possible, to you. We have
just received a copy of a metropolitan
daily that has just closed a contest
similar to ours in most respects and
they have just awarded the prizes. And
in the copy received by us Is a state
ment from the winner of the third
prize in the contest. Listen to him:
Il had in my original list of possible
answers made out for the rs pictures,
T3 of the correct answers. But III
pairing down my answers for the Set
as / finally turned it in, | foolishly
cut out two of these correct answers"
The winner of first prize in this con-
test had II of the rs answers correct
and made $40 answers in all. Winner
of second prize had II correct, using
661 answers in all. The winner of
third prize (the man whose statement
Is quoted above) had II correct, US
ing 674 answers in all. Winner of
fourth prize had CTS answers in all and
II of them correct.
SO you see. all four winners had the
same number of correct answers and
used Varying numbers of answers
Had the winner of third prize not been
so keen in pairing down answers he
would have had 70 correct. and would
have first prize instead of third.
Applying it to this contest, he would
have secured $500 in gold instead of a
SITS diamond ring.
His anxiety to beat the other fellow
cost him 1926.
These results are given for your
guidance in submitting answers. The
plan OF that contest was nearly the
same as ours. The only difference is

Mail Service Starts On colmor Cutoff

Beginning Wednesday morning, a
mail service was inaugurated on the
D. C. & C. V. as far west as Sa-
tanta. Pouch express mail will be
made up to go out Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays. All the mail
will be returned the same way the
other three days of the week. The
towns effected are Ensign, MOntezu-
ma, Copeland, Sublette and Satanta.
The Ensign Star route was discon-
tinued the same day. The patrons
of the Ensign route are now prepar-
ing to petition for a rursl free de-
livery out of Dodge City. The coun-
try covered will be changed some but
there is no doubt that the route at
least should be established as the
change will work a hardship on many
accustomed to daily mail.
Hugoton and other towns further
down the line will be supplied with
mail service in the same overland
way until arrangements are made
for mail service on the new road
An Inspector made the trip down to
Hugotcn last week to look things
over, but his report has not yet been
made.-Dodge City Journal.

In Barton County, Too.

Quite a number of cattle have died
in the north part of this county al
so as a result of eating sorghum or
kaffir corn, according to accounts
in last weeks HOisingtOn and Claf-
lin papers. The Hoisington Dispatch
has the following to say of eondi-
tons in the HoisingtOn vicinity:
Quite a number of cattle have died
recently from eating green kaffir corn
which for some reason seems to be
rank poison. John Neidens lost
six head in short order one day
The cattle broke out Of the pasture
and started across a kaffir corr
field. The folks at the house saw
that the cattle were out and start
ed to drive them in at once but fou
of the animal fell dead before the,
could get them back in the pastur'
and two of them died afterwards.
Others who lost cattle from tn
. same cause were Adam Lehning,

afternoon were found dead and were
greatly bloated. Others over the
county have lost cows.

New Deal At The Soldiers Home

The following concerning the old
Soldiers Home at Dodge City and the
changes in management of that insti-
tuition, will no doubt be Of interest
to the majority of the readers Of the
Democrat. The article is from last
weeks Dodge City Journal:
The new board Of managers of The
Soldiers Home came to Dodge City
Thursday morning and spent the day
at The Home.
The members of the board are F.
E. Brooks, of Fort Scott, president;
Stance Meyers, of LeaVenworth, is
treasurer, and D. NJ. Bender, of Par
sons, hold over member of board.
The first act of the board was to
check out Commandment Breeee, and
check in P. NJ. incl as Commandant.
The board organized at Topeka
last Monday. The members of the
Home, 147 of them, petitioned for a
change in the Chaplain. The news
that Chaplain Crouch was not popu,
lar with the Home people came as
a surprise to the people of Dodge
City. But such is the fate of politi
cal appointees.
Rev. A. j. Bixler, of Marion, &
Methodist minister, was appointed t.
the Chaplaincy.
The board made no other change!
in the official roster, but notifiet
John Sidlow and his assistant, S. P
Plank, that they will be relieved or
August 1st. So far these are the on
ly changes made in the personnel o.
the Home management.
The board has ordered all of tht
cottages wired for electric lights
President Brooks said on Tuesda!
evening that it seemed to him a ser
ious condition to compel the old PEG
pie at the home to stumble aroun'
with old fashioned coal oil lamp
when the Home had an efficient ligh
plant. Besides, the oil lamps di
not give good light, and the electri
lights would certainly give the Ok
folks more comfort.
The board ordered the hospital an,

Fully one half of the threshing in
Stafford county is already done. The

The wheat is averaging better than

at 8 and 10 bushels per acre have

Speaking for the Board, President
Brooks said that the board had no
particular criticism to offer against
the management Of Commandant
Breese. They all knew him person
ally and liked him. and they found
that he was we'll likde by the Home
membership.
When asked concerning the gener-
al conditions at the Home and its sur
roundings, President Brooks said the
general condition was not up to the
standard Of the other state institu-
tons, and Commandment Incl had the
direct order to bring these condi--
tons I'D to a much higher standard
as quickly as possible.
The sanitary arrangements for the
home are away below the standard
that has been required at the other
state institutions and this state Of ef-
fairs must be remedied at once.
Commandment Incl has been direct
ed to procure additional lawn now
ers and to require the cottage dwell
lers to keep down the weeds, and
keep up the lawns at their dwellings
The abundance of weeds all about
the Home grounds was indeed a sur
prise to the new board.
President Brooks and Treasurer
Meyers are both members Of the
state Board Of Control which has in
charge all the state hospitals. Mt.
Brooks was the Democratic member
of this board in the Stubs admin
istration, and is familiar with the
conditions of these institutions and Of
their management.
Mr.. Brooks says that under the
he. Republican administration with which
he has been connected, the maiorit!
'iu of the board has always favored ap
nc plicants for position who subscrib
'u ed to the Republican articles o
1S' faith and now that the administratio
Inc is Democratic, he would favor the en-
aS' ployment of Democratic officers an
employees where they showed eQue
