In Regard te
County SuperintendentS

There are few teachers and
few people in Baca county who
do not know that the editor of
the Herald has work ed hard foi
the up-lift of the schools o
the county, both as a teache
and as a private individual, ano
that it was largely through hi
efforts that the Lormal was held
here last year, and will probably
be made a permanent affair and
given the sanction of law.
Under these circumstances, to
have Jones of the Sentinel to
take US to task for "laying it on
so thick" about school interests
and of Simpson and Brake being
the friends of the teachers, does
MT boarder, onto the ridiculous, "
but does come with bad grace
from one who ought to be famil-
lar with the facts above related.
AS Jones we'll knows, several
of those long articles spoken of
were on the necessity of the
county normal. They were not
only the first articles on that sub
ject, but we believe the only
ones up to the present showing
their necessity, except what
have appeared in the Herald. If
we are in error in this matter,
we will stand corrected when
the fact is pointed out
And this isn't all. The editor
was the first to go into print on
the necessity Of county uni
formity of text books, TAX
ing it up, first as a correspond
ent to the Herald, and after
wards in some OF the long articles
spoken of; and without egotism
/ we don't believe it is too much to
say that we now have that uni
formity large.y through said ag-
itations of the subject.
Mr.. Jones was superintendent
of this county for six years, and
during the most of that time edit
ed a school column in the Her
aid, and we believe during that
time never wrote a line either
about a county normal or g. uni
formity of text bouks.
We are not saying this by
way of criticism of jones Admin
istration of the Office, as he made
the county a good superintendent
so far as concerns the routine OF
the office; but we do say that il
doesn't come with good grace tc
characterize as ridiculous the
present interest of the editor oi
the Herald in the school affairs
of the county.
/ There is another matter that was
agitated in some Of those com
planned of long articles, which
was that the papers of teach.

DEMOCRAT OWNERSHIP,

iouS CduoiQttuc IdNe ledTuel
their fates, l a.: going to clear
up this tangle as to who really
owns the Democrat, and also
to prove to the people of this
county that my letter was not
written and published for ere
campaign purposes as was stated
in the columns of that paper by
Mr.. Koontz.
Mr.. Editor, l would not take
this step were it not for the fact
that the COMBINE and it's ed
itor have at all times tried to be.
little, deride and dis credit Mrs.
Knight and myself at every op-
portunity.
The editor of the Democrat
not only tried to discredit my
letter and our affidavit, but he
lied, and falsely accused me of
leaving out H. o. Green's name
in the transaction of the sale of
the Democrat, when the truth la,
| never had business dealings
with Mr., Green.
The Hoggfogg man furthur
states that Mr.. Green was pres
ent in the county clerks office
whea the deal was closed. If
Mr.. Green and Mr.. koontz will
make tffidavits and prove that
H. o. Green was present at that
meeting, will present each of
them with a five dollar bill.
The editor of the Democrat
did not deny a single charge I
made, but tried to find fault be-
cause was not present when
the article was sworn to, and al
so my own peculiar style" in
writing it. If the editor of that
sheet had some kind of peculiar
style" about him he might get
somewhere.
l do not want to get into
quarrel in this matter. l an
simply going 6 force Mr..
Koontz, Mr.. Barr, and Mr..
Ward to show their hards.
I have stated the case just us
it was present I'd to me. l know
| am right, and when a man
knows he is right lie las nothing
to fear.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it has reached
my ears that Mr.. Barr was go
ing to "sift this thing to tile
bottom" 1t seems that after a
"consulshion" with the balance
of the combine he has decided
to let the matter drop. But l
have not. He has sworn to an
affidavit that makes me out a
liar, and that don't know what
l am talking about.
All l desire now is, that Mr..
Barr explain to the public why
he sent Inc a school warrant, is
sued to Grace Bagby. for $4,000,
as part payment for his share
in the Democrat; why Mr.. Reg
nier told me that he was to rep.
resent Barr; why Felix Ward and
MIR. Koontz told Mrs. Knight
and myself that Barr and Dave
Konkel were shareholders, but
that they did not want this fact
known.
l want Barr to steo forward
and we will "sift this thing to
the bottom.
Now, Editor. Konkel, | do not
and have not, tried to compare
my wits with a Henry Clay, "
nor such men as past, present
and future esidents; | have
not tried to make an everlasting
impression upon the public as to
my "truthfulness, fairness and
honesty. If did this, the pub
lie would have good cause to keep
it's good off eye upon me.
What Mrs. Knight ami myself
have done for democracy in this
county is now history. 1t is
not for US to repeat it. We
leave it to the public to COM
mend or condemn us, just as it
sees hit.
When a man continually harps
upon his fairness. honesty, and
truthfulness," 1 think it would
pay the deer peepul" to stop
and examine into his past before
they swol- Low him whole.

One Boy Earning Livelihood for En-.
tire Topeka Family.

That the most worthy are the most
difficult to discover and help when
help is needed has just been brought
home to a number of Topeka people.
An ambitious girl fifteen years old has
been leaving a hungry family consist
ing of father and mother and four
brothers and sisters and has been
walking from one of the most distant
parts of the city to the Topeka high
school on a breakfast consisting of
post tOasties, water and slice of
bread. She has been attending the
all-day sessions with no other food
and walking home again in the late
afternoons.
That the family was in dire need
was first suspected by women of the
church at which the family has been
attending. A visit by them confirmed
their suspicious. The father has been
out of work for some time and ap-
pears to be suffering from a mental
aflment. Whether the afflictiOn is
due to his encouragement is not
known. The only income the family
has had has been 81 a week which a
boy in the family has been earning.

Ten Times as Many as Persons II
Kansas, Says DIR. Crumbine.

Hays, Kan, Dec. 11.-That there are
from fcur to ten times as many rats
in Kansas as there are people was the
statement of Dr. s. ]. Crumbine of the
state board of health in his address
to the farmers of the Short Course. OF
the Fert Hays Kansas State. Normal
school here today. A. -
This is an extra good rat year in
western Kansas due to the extra good
grain" said Dr. Crumbine. 1T costs
two dollars per head to feed these mil
lions of rats in Kansas. And since
you farmers out here this year havesa
wheat crop SO great, your losses from
the rats will be correspondfngly great:
The only remedy is to keep the stored
grain from the rodents. Traps. poison,
exterminators, and the like are all In
efficient. the only way is to keep the
grain in rat-proofs Granarfes.

slogan to the farmers of western Kan
