P. o. Building for Pratt

Washington, Feb. 15.-The
public buildings committee today
reported favorably the omnibus
building bill, carrying an appro-
pfiation of 500, for postofice
at Pratt. Only four Kansas
towns are thus recognized. In
addition to Pratt are Eldorado.
Cherryvale and Hiawatha.
Opponents of the bill will make
a hard fight to prevent it's pas
sage, but it is believed that their
efforts will be unavailing and
that the measure will be adopted
by the house.
The proposed Pratt appropri-
alton is due solely to the efforts
of Congressman George A Nee
ley of the Seventh district, and it
is said here that Mr.. Neeley will
not rest until he has secured
passage of the bill.

Fire Losses in the U. S.

At meeting of the Hutchin.
son Commercial Club on Monday
night, officers of the Kansas
State Fire Prevention Associa-
tion addressed lhe members on
fire hazards and preventative
measures. Charles F. Hardy,
president of the Association, was
the principal speaker.
A few facts taken from his ad-
dress will be of value to our
readers.
The annual loss from fires in
the United States is $25O,OOO, 900.
The lives lost annually in fires
number 1,500.
The number of persons injur-
ed in fires is 5000.
Of all the fires 60 per cent orig
mated from carelessness.
If all the buildings lost in fires
in one year were placed together
they would line both sides of a
street reaching from Chicago to
New York City.
Revertipg then to the subject
of fires in homes, Mr.. Hardy
voiced these significant facts:
Gasoline is the cause of 5000
fires each year.
Dry cleaning with gasolene
causes the loss of lives of ten
women a week.
Spontaneous combustion of
trash and other similar accumu.
lations is a frequent cause OF
fires in homes.
Christmas tree celebrations
cause the loss by fire of 10000
homes annually.
Gas jets, open CRATES, stoves
over unprotected floors, bad f1ues
defective electric wiring and elec
trio fiatirons are frequentcau
of fires in homes.

Ice Cream Parlor

Meade is soon to have an up
to-date ice cream parlor, and for
this improvement the Kelley
Optical Co. get the credit. They
have purchased the large soda
fountain formerly owned by
Thos. Johnston and will shortly
move it into their building. Be-
fore doing this some changes
and remodeling will be done
to the building. The partition
which now divides it will be re-
moved and the entire floor space
will be utilized. The display of
hand-painred china now display
ed on the north side of the build
ing will be moved to the south
side, and the entire north half of
{Shh building will be occupied by
the fountain and the ice cream
parlor. In to front the fountain
will be installed and in the rear
will be the parlor. This will
make one of the neatest places
of it's kind, in the county and
something which Meade has long
been in need of. The new place
will be open for business in due
time.

u. SENATOR
THOMPSON
Gives Assurance That He
Will Work in Interest of
The People

Before leaying Garden City
yesterday. Senator William FL.
Thompson mailed out the follow
ing statement to the various
newspapers of the state:
I'm the first place, let me ask
all to be patient and charitable
and not to expect too much. To
avoid mistakes and regrets, l
must GO slowly. Make haste
slowly is a familiar expression
of much force, especially with
one embarking in new field of
labor. 1t is human to err, | shall
therefore expect to make mis-
takes. All other men have in
every great undertaking. But
when l make them, they will be
mistakes of the head and not of
the heart. My heart beats with
that of my fellow man, and what
ever concerns his interest and
welfare appeals to me, and will
ever receive my most careful,
earnest and conscientious con-
sideratlon. Whatever 1 do as
senator will always be open and
above board.
"Mr. Bryan says that The
secret of success of a represent
alive of the people is to have no
secrets from the people This
rule l shall at all times strictly
follow. / have faith in the public
and shall confide in them. Hence
I have but few promises to make,
but you will always find me
working to accomplish the things
that the people demand. Among
the more important demands of
the people from national stand
point, which I shall follow, are as
follows:
81. More stringent laws to
purify the ballot, by limiting the
use of money for campaign pur-
poses, and requiring the greatest
publicity of all contributions and
expenditures.
-. Laws tending to reduce
the cost of living and taxes, and
providing for the strictest econ
omy in the public service.
"3. Immediate revision of the
tariff downward to a revenue
basis by such method as to fully
protect labor and prevent the de-
struction of any legitimate in
dustry.
-. More stringent laws tend
ing to destroy trusts and mon
opolies now in existance, and the
prevention of future comblna-
tions in restraint of trade.
F." 5. Laws preventing child
labor, and providing for reason
able minimum wages for women.
SO. Prevention of wholesale
speculation on the boards of
trade by dealings in futures and |
fictitious crops, and all other
gambling in trade transactions.
so. Systematic revision of our
banking laws and general i'm.
provement IN the currency sys.
tenn so as to fully protect deposl-
tors and bankers and absolutely
prevent panics.
"s. A permanent court of ar
bitration between nations to pre-
vent wars and to bring about
universal peace" +

FARMERS
INSTITUTE
Meeting a Howling Success
Best One on Record

| hASShAhkS Va thC ACduC OOuuty
Farmers Institute was held at
the court house last Wednesday
and Thursday. Two speakers
were present from the Agricult-
ural and gave some very inter-
esting talks.
DIR. Case, graduate of the
Veterinary department of the
college gave splendid lecture
on Feeding and Care of the
Work Horse. One of his most
important statements was not to
dope" with so-called preventa-
tlves, condition powders etc.
At LIS he explained Judging a
Draft and Roadster" by compar-
ison and contrasts.
AT the afternoon session DR..
Chase lectured on Animal San
itation." He said that some of
the most essential points were
cleanliness, plenty of fresh air
and sunshine, and that all dead
animals should be burned if pos
sible, and if not they should be
deeply buried.
Prof. Crabtree, Supt. of Farm
Management at the college, next
spoke on "Drouth, Raising of
Crops and How to Mulch to Hold
the Moisture" He says we get
sufficient moisture to grow a
crop if it is taken care of. He
Says this can be done and that
the first step toward this, is to
burn the floating drag and not to
use the corrugated roller.
! On Wednesday morning DR.,
Chase lectured on "The Corn
Stalk Disease, and Other Smut
or Fungus Diseases.
In the afternoon Prof. Crab
tree talked "Silo and the Bal
anced Ration" The time which
these two men had to spend here
seemed all to short, but their
talks while here pleased everyone
The subjects discussed by our
home people were well handled.
The delegates who were sent to
Hutchinson and to Manhattan
gave good reports of the meet
ings attended by them.
The Domestic Science depart
ment of our high school gave a
splendid demonstration and lee
ture which was appreciated.
The mem bers of the institute

c. NJ. Gates were reelected as
President, Vice President, and
Secretary. John Keith who has
served two years as Secretary |

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AN IMPROVED TONE.
Prices Open Higher and Hold Gains
 Through the Day.

New York, July 15-Although trad ing in stocks was still of nominal pro- portions, falling once more below the 100, 900 mark, there was a definite inn provement in tone today. Prices open ed higher and held their gains through the day. In the last hour of trading the market became more active and best quotations of the session were re- corded. Gains in some cases amount ed to two points. There were evidences of growing
 nervousness on the part of the shorts
 as the market advanced. The short interest at present outstanding was pronounced by some traders to be the largest of the year. The manner in which unfavorable news of the last fortnight has been ignored in move ments of the market apparently has made some impression and efforts to cover, which led to rather urgent bid ding in the last hour were largely responsible for the advance.
 For the first time in several days, Europe took an interest in this mar ket and bought stocks, chiefly Cana dian Pacific. The more confident feel ing abroad was reflected in an ad- vance Of American stocks in London which influenced the opening here, Rail- road shares were strengthened by the news from Washington that the Erd- man act was to be amended in a man. ner that would bring about arbitra,- ton of the eastern railroad difficult ties.
 The copper shares continued to lag behind. A further decline in the for eign metal market was reported, and at home the market was said to be at a standstill, despite recent price concessions and the strong statistical position disclosed in the producers re- port. Denial by the attorney general of the report that proceedings against American Smelling were imminent caused a full recovery in that stock late in the day. Traction stocks and bonds rose strongly on the announce ment that the full 1-2 percent semi annual payment had been ordered on the third Avenue income fves.
 The bond market was steady. To- tai sales, par value, S1,16S, 000. Pana- ma 2's registered and coupon declin- ed 1-4 on call.
