BACK TO THE FARMS"
MOVEMENT UNNECESSARY

Topeka, Kan.- Governor Hodges
is going to devote great deal Of his
time in the remainder of his admin
istration to work out plans whereby
the life of the farmer may be made
80 attractive that there will be no
need for back 10 the farms"
movement in Kansas. The first step
in this plan j. the organization Of
community centerS, the next Is good
roads, the next IS graded schools in
the country dlNtricl,. and then he
would have the country merchants
advertise, that every interest in the
community may be built up.
MAKE COUNTRY ATTRACTIVE
This administration is using its
best endeavors to build up commu-
nifty centers, better rural schools and
local markets for the products of our
State said the Governor today.
"The back to the farm movement is
the wrong end to begin work on. The
State should have II system of good
roads, with big township schools that
teach domestic science, agriculture
and iii students for normal training
work. The school should be- made so
attractive and so good that it would
not be necessary for the agricultur-
Isl to go to town with his family to
procure an education for them. The
treest, the truest and the best life
is the agrcGlturist's life. 1t takes
the same brain, however, to be u sue
cessful farmer that it does TO be
successful banker or professional
man, and our farmers are now awak.
cning to the fact that good roads,
community interest centers and grad
ed country schools are solving the
problem, and when we have country
schools in high degree of efficiency
there will be no back to the farm
movement, for there will then be no
incentive or desire to leave the farm.
MERCHANTS, ADVERTISE
81 believe il is of vital interest to
the agriculturist to keep the small
towns IN a prosperous condition, but
the reason for the decline of the
small town is from the fact that the
merchants do not advertise their
wares, together with the prices, as
well as an accurate description of
the stock that they handle. While
to the exact contrary, the mail order
houses have IA big, high priced cata-
log in the hands of every man
throughout the country, and it is the
constant advertisement Of their
wares, the descriptions and prices,
and II family that wishes to buy some
article looks at the cataloc, and at
once takes il up with the mail order

THE COUNTRY STORE

a mail order house, with its en-
pensive buildings, high priced ground,
enormous rent, high priced officers,
interest and n score of other neces-
sary expenses, makes its overhead
expense enormous, while to the en-
act contrary, the country merchant,
with n very minor expense account.
can be Il strong competitor of the
mail order house if he will only set
himself to the task of presenting his
stock for the consideration of the
customers, by strong, clear, lucid
honest advertisement.
The newspapers are by far the
best mediums, but if that is not ac-
cesslble, then a circular letter should
be used. The farmer would much
rather deal with his home merchant
if he knows that he can get the same
goods for the same price, but the So
luton OF the problem rests with the
country merchant, and it behooves
him TO get in touch with the farmers.
Take them into your confidence, talk
to them and point out to them Ger.
ain added specifications that the
list price man overlooks.
This campaign Of honest educa-
ton should be made, and it must be
made, by the man who is vitality in
terested-the merchant. The agri-
culturists realize that by plotting
out of the cities, they, the farmers,
would be compelled to pay increased
taxes, merchants and their employees
must become stock raisers or agri-
culturists, and thus become COM
petitors of the farmers. The com
munity center means mutual inter-
est-the stock raisers, the farmers,
the merchants and men who have the
general welfare of the public at
heart. There should be a get to-
gether' movement for the common
good of Observation-Disclosures City

FOrty.tw0 men were rounded up in
three gaming houses in the city on Sal
urday night. Justice Leigh Fleming
issued warrants for five places AMI
three OF the places were surprised.
1t was near midnight when Prose
cutting Attorney Tusca Morris phoned
Justice Fleming at his home telling
the genial squire that he had more
prisoners than could be accommodated
in the county jail. Justice Fleming In
qulred ii his services would be needed
at that time and he was told that he
did not need to come to the cour;
house; that arrangements would be
made to take care OF the men who
we're rounded up.
!, The arrest was made under the di:
rectlon OF Sheriff Conway, assisted
by members OF the city police force.
1t was case where no forfeits were
taken. The men caught in the raid
wanted to dispense and wander into
the sherlf's Office but this was not per-
mitted. The men came to the court
house in bunch.
Yesterday the corridor Of the court
house looked like one OF the famous
gaming houses OF Monte Carlo. Every
gambling device known in the city was
found in the collection Of property OBJ.

in taking the three places. All OF this
paraphernalia, including tables, chips,
wheels and other property will be used

DAY AT THE CHRISTIAN TARER-
NACLE.

Yesterday was red letter day for the
Christian church in this city. Never
before in the Christian church and
probably never before in the church
history of the city, has there been fiG'
ty additions to church in one day.
One of the greatest revival meetings
ever held in Fairmont and which
promises to stir the city as never
stirred before, is now in progress at
the Christian tabernacle. Evangelist
Coombs and Musical Director Senift
are doing great work. During the four
Sunday services fifty people responded
to the invitation extended by the evan'
gelist and confessed their faith in
Jesus Christ.
The service dedicating the taberna-
Gle was observed yesterday afternoon.
The sum of $1,000 was raised T. pay
Gif the indebtedness for the building
and to defray the expenses OF the
evangelistic meetings. Drs. Broom
field, Stoetzer, Canter and Probst, pas.
tors of other churches in the city, were
present and delivered addresses, suit
able to the occasion. After a brief
sermon by Evangelist Coombs, the
dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev.
w. H. Hampton, pastor OF the church.
The crowds began to arrive early for
the evening service and it soon be-
came apparent that the seats were not
sufficient 10 accommodate the large
congregation. A number of additional
chairs were provided and yet many
people, who could neither find seats
nor standing ropm were compelled to
leave. The evangelist spoke upon the
What will ye do with Jesus"
After an eloquent appeal the invitation
was given and many more responneG.
Even after the congregation had been
dismissed the confessions of three
more were taken, making fifty for the
entire day.
Tonight will be another great SER
vice. The ordinance OF baptism will
be observed and special male quar-
tet will sing,
