TRUANCY LAW
is ENFORCED
Every Child OF School Age Is In
Regular Attendance

A most splendid method of
dealing with the truancy prob
lem, has been adopted by our
County Superintendent, Mrs.
Pearl Wood Smith.
The county has been divided
into three truant districts and
numbered, one, two, and three,
and for each district truant Of
ficer has been appointed.
District No. consists of the
following districts: 5, 9, II, l8,
70, 81, 81, AZ, "A, AZ, 81, and
it. /. Mr.. Coleman Usher, of
Fowler, is truant officer. No
children have been reported so
far.
District No. 2 consists of
districts No. /, 2, 3, 4, Z, s, Is,
20, 81, D, %, rs. 2S, 80, 50, IS,
So, 90, 81, 90, "a, and 65. This
truant district, as will readily
be seen, is the largest of the three
yet up to the present time but
seventeen cases of truancey have
been reported to the truant of
ficer, Mr.. Isaac Covalt, and he
states that all are now in school,
which is equivalent to every
child of school age in his truancy
district attending school regular.
ly.
District No. 3, consisting of
districts No. IA, 10, "a, 80, 40,
so, So, 50, and 81. under truant
officer J. C. Curtis, of Plains, is
also doing good work III e1forc.
ing this law. In this district
fourteen cases have been report
ed, and are now all in school with
the exception of the children OF
one family who expect to move
away in short time.
With the excellent advantages
offered in this county, there is
no excuse for any child having
any ything short of first class
education. When parents and
teachers cooperate, the schools
cannot be other than successful,

the men inside the penitentiary
are no better than the men who
obey the laws, keep out and help
pay the taxes to support the men
that are in. Everything possible
will be done to support the men
that are in. Everything possl-
BILE will be done to improve con-
ditions and the people of Kansas
can rest assured that Governor
Hodges administration is not go
ing to slop over on the one hand
in hero worship of men and
women who break the law, but
on the other hand is going to
treat them in a humane, business
like manner, keeping in view the
tax payers, as well as the men
and the women behind the walls.

The Garlic Sale

Unfavorable weather, and the
postponement, on account of the
weather, from December 2nd 10
December 8th, had no effect on
the financial outcome of the VIM
Carlile sale, held at his place,
southeast of Meade, last Mon
day.
With a good crowd, and good
Auctioneer, Mr.. c. ]. Covalt, the
sale started. Bidding was brisk
and Mr.. Covalt succeeded in get
ting good prices for everything
sold. 1t was nearly dark when
the last article was disposed Of.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlile have
traded their farm in this county
for property at Hustled, Colorado
to which place they will shortly
move. They are among our
best people, and we very much
regret to note their leaving this
county. They leave behind a
large number of friends who
along with The News, wish them
we'll in their new home.

friends.
The Kansas man is accused of
much noisy advertising, and of
relating when away from home
preposterous tales of his States
attainments> and achievements
of dealing much in airy persi-
flage. The accusation has
basis of truth, and the tales are
accounted for by the Kansan's
righteous pride and sublime
faith in the region where he has.
so gladly cast his lot; but the
real explanation would seem to
be that the Kansan always con-
siders himself in measure on
the defensive against aspersions
and calumnies cast upon his
State by persons who acquire
their erroneous impressionsfrom
what has been unwisely written
and printed, often by her own
people. And this, too, strange
as it may seem, when he, at
home, may be purveyor of the
same harmful pessimism he so
vigorously combats when abroad.
Millions of money, such as in
other States is annually given
oyer to the maintenance of their
innumerable saloons, doggeries,
joints and other like gateways to
perdition, is conserved by Kan
sans IN schools, churches, liz
braries. young mems and young
women's Christian associations
and good.road building. Here is
State where traffic in intoxicat-
ing liquors is prohibited by her
constitution for all time; where
sobriety and clean living are at a
premium and their opposites are
at tremendous discount; where
temperance is an everyday tang
ible fact with ninety-nine per
cent of the people and not mere
ly dream or "fad OF women
and preachers" where the man
selling intoxicants, thereby en-
couraging drunkenness, crime,
and pauperism in the rising gen
GRAFTON, is an outlaw, with no
abiding-place or standing, and
candidate for the penitentlary,
with every prospect of election
by an overwhelming majority,
All regions are subject to-
vagaries of climate, and there is
no pretense that Kansas, how
ever generally and generously
favored by Providence, is an ex-
ception. No one section is en-
dowed with all the virtues; other
wise it would be competitor of
paradise. There is no lifetime
and no State to which seasons of
disappointment do not come. If,
as Of others, this is true of ours,
there still CLEANS back of it all
the exalted optimism of sturdy,
self-reliant, hopeful, earnest men
who have wrought from the
wilderness a commonwealth
along cleanly, helpful, worthy
ways; a commonwealth in which
the unhappily situated whereso-
ever may have homes; where
right thinking is the habit, right
believing is the fashion and right
doing is the com monplace.
The heart is not easily taken

AAoO ~ 0oWuCu upOA yOut Au
telligence that Kansas is the
pick of a thousand million acres
the agricultural wonderland of
all that mighty reach between
the Missouri River and the Gulf
of California? One of her coun-
ties has raised in a single year
nearly eight million bushels of
corn; in four years corn worth
eleven per cent more than ali
the money paid for Alaska, and
in nine years corn which in value
surpassed the cost of the entire
Louisiana Purchase. Sumner
County In single season raised
nearly 100000 bushels of wheat
or more than was grown in ali
Texas, or any one of twenty
three other States and Terri
tories, aud exceeding by over
1000, 900 bushels the aggregated
wheat of Alabama, Mississippi,
Neyada, New Jersey, New Mex

bread and pastry command a
