Barton County democrat., 1914-12-25

Miss Elsa Zutavern returned
home the last of the week after
a visit of several months with rel
ativeS and friends in the east and
reports that she enjoyed a most
pleasant visit and is glad to be
home again.
Charles Schermuly was in from
northeast of town last Friday
paying his taxes and attending to
other business matters and visit
ing with friends. Charley is or
dinarily very healthy man, but
when he heard the amount of his
taxes for this year, he almost col
lapsed from heart failure. They
averaged about one-third higher
than previously.

Could Get the Cows.

"How many milk cows have
your the agent asked.
The farmers looked at each 9TH
er in rather an embarrassed way.
They didn't have enough to count.
But if there are any milk cows
to be had we can get them," the
farmers said.
Other towns heard Of it and be-
gan a contest with Mulvane for
the milk condenSary. Newton and
Wellington, larger towns, wanted
it.
1--WE want no local SubScrip-
tions," the president of the COM
pany said.
Mulvane won the plant. A
small, temporary plant was built
four years ago. The few milk
COWS of all breeds the farmers
owned produced 1913 pounds of
milk for the plant the day it op-
ened. Now more than $4,000
pounds of milk are bought by the
plant every day. From a tempo
rary plant it has grown to a $780,
600 plant, with plans TO enlarge it
every year as the production of
milk increases in that region.
Better Than Butter Fat.
The plant began by paying two
cents a pound for milk-Sixteen
cents a gallon. That was more
than the farmers could get oui
of their milk by marketing the
cream or butter. The milk had
to test at least 3.5 per cent butter
fat. The cows that produced the
greatest quantity of milk was
what the community needed. The
company recommended HolSteins
Several cars of all kinds of Hol
stems and near-HolSteinS were
shipped in there and the farmer:
almost fought for them. They
| were sold at auction right there
in the railroad pens and brough
good prices. All of them wer'
grades and all that was required
in the mad rush for HolStein.

MILK MADE FARMS NEW.
Around Mulvane There Was Just
Ordinary Farms, Ordinary
Farmers and Ordianry In
comes Until They Dis
covered a Milk
Market.

Five years ago, Mulvane, Has,
had fewer milk cows than most
any other developed farm region
in Kansas. Today it has more
than any other region in the state.
Five years ago a person could
ride for miles in that region with
out seeing a well painted house
or a good barn. Now well paint
ed and attractive modern homes
and good barns and siloS are in
evidence everywhere.
After forty years of soil Sapp-
ing farm methods the valleys and
upland in that region produced
very Scant crops. Four years OF
dairying in that region and
years of returning to the soil fer.
tilizer from the dairy barns and
the production of leguminous
crops have made it one of the
most productive regions in Kan.
SaS,
Five years ago the business
men of Mulvane wondered WhaI
they could administer to the pa.
.tient-the tOwn-tO keep it alive
They have found the medicine
in the form of a milk cOndenSarN
that has brought prosperity to
the whole region thereabout.
Got it By Accident.
That, in. short, is what MulvanC
has brought unto itself. 1t is set
ting the pace of doing things
which is attracting other town.
in all parts of the state. 1t dom
cost Mulvane a cent, either-al
this prosperity. 1t was dumped
into its lap, free of charge, AM
the town and farmers are profit
ing by it.
Five years ago George and M
L. Howard, brothers, went bacI
to their old home in Holland
ILL.,, to visit "home folks" and in
cidentally to exhibit at the coun
ty fair there products of the sol
'in and about Mulvane. 1t wa

In a month the company sen
its agent to Mulvane to 'look owe

up the Howard brothers and toll
them what he was there for. Fa1
merS were called up over tele
phone and more than 100 of ther
came into Mulvane to tell tn
agent what could be done.

HAS A FOXY SCHEME OF
FINDING THE GUILTY MAN
How a North Georgia Miller Caught
Thief Who Was Stealing Corn.

HOW d NOftI OcOFSift IhhICA SNussih'
Thief Who Was Stealing Corn.
Dock Fowler, of Forsyth county,
is foxy guy, as Bill Jackson found
out to his grief and undoing.
Fowler operated a grist mill for a
man named Jones. He began miss
ing shelled corn out of the toll bin
and tried to trap the thief, who prov
ed too cunning for him.
Thereupon Fowler put his think
ing cap on and set a real trap. He
got some thin pink and white paper,
cut it very fine and mixed it in the
toll bin corn, so it would look like
chaff fro mthe corn.
One day Bill Jackson came along
astride his trusty mule and dumped
bag of corn out to be ground into
meal. Fowler had his suspicious
anyway, so he made a careful investi-
cation of Bills corn and found plenty
of the fine paper mixed in with the
grain.
He had Bill arrested and in the
trial Jackson told several conflicting
stories as to how he came in posses
sion of the corn. However, Fowler
had the goods on him and Jackson
was convicted. He appealed, but lost
in the court of appeals in a decision
just handed down.

FAVORABLE RESPONSES FROM

Unite in Meeting Next Week
For the Relief of Cotton.
ATLANTA.-Qu and without
noise and fiub-dub Governor Slaton
has been busy this week trying to
arrange a conference of the govern
ors of the twelve cotton growing
states of the South in Atlanta for
next week.
Governor O'Neal, of Alabama, how
ever, is compelled to be absent from
his state this week, but has cooper
ated with Governor SlatOn in every
way possible, and says he will aid
him in arranging the conference for
next week.
Governor Trammell, of Florida
has also become very deeply interest
ed in the plan for the cotton states
executives to meet and confer, and
is lending his hearty support and aid
to Governor Slaton, who now has the
backing and support of the execu-
tives of Alabama and Florida in get
ting all of the governors here for
the conference. The call will be
signed by all three.
Communicated With All.
Although very busy all of the week
in the Empire Life insurance hear
ing Governor Slaton has not let the
movement for the governors confer
ence lag a moment, but has commu-
nicated with them all by wire, letter
and telephone.
Several matters in other states pre-
vented the conference being arranged
for the present week, but it seems
now assured that it will be agreed
on beyond question some time in
the week of September 20.
Governors of North and South Car
DINA, Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Ten
nessee, Louisiana and Kentucky and
Virginia will be asked to come here
to discuss the cotton situation, and if

having the legislative bodies of these
states called in extra session to act
toward curtailing the 1915 cotton
crop.
Governor Slaton stated today thSt
he now felt sure that practically aN
of the governors would be glad to

SOUTH'S HOUR OF NEED
SAYS sen. SMITH IN ARGUING
FOR CURRENCY AMENDMENT.
Is Not a Sectional Crisis, But Mat
ter of Concern to Entire Country
He Asserts in Speech.

WASHINGTON Smith
of Georgia, speaking in the senate
this afternoon in favor of his amend
ment to the Aldrich- Vreeland curren-
cy law, which allows state banks to
issue emergency currency for twelve
months, argued in part as follows:
The twelve states that compose
the section in which | live" said SEN
ator Smith, have produced a crop
which sixty days ago would have
been worth a billion dollars. But
distress has spread over the South
which can scarcely be described, l
am hardly able to read my morning
mail bringing to me the story of this
distress because l am so depressed
by the burden that our people are
carrying.
''The people of the South are the
customers of people in the West and
in the North. The whole country is
feeling and will feel the blow that
has been given to our greatest export
crop. 1t has cost from 10 to II cents
pound to raise the cotton. The
world must use it. But today there
is no demand because of a foreign
war.
Brings Much Gold.
This cotton brings into the coun-
try six hundred and ten millions in
gold. The senator from Rhode Is
land has said it is to his interest that
the price should be sustained and
this gold come in, making it possible
for our people to purchase his goods.
1t is a matter of concern to all the
country, not simply that part which
produces the cotton. If these people
for lack of currency are forced to
sacrifice their cotton and the price
is allowed to go down to half what
it costs to produce it then bankrupt
cy confronts the small farmers of II
states.
Then the market they have fur
nished to the Middle West is gone
and the market we have furnished to
the East have gone and the returns
from the export trade of this crop
will be gone in a large measure. 1t
is a national problem. 1t reaches
beyond a locality, but for the locality
it means ruin

the situation Will IShe" oP0A
within the next few days, according
70 Ernest Hargreayes, a young Eng
lisb scientist who left England three
weeks ago and was in Atlanta Fri
day.
From Lancashire.
Mr. Hargreaves comes from Burn
lev. Lancashire, one of the largest II
NOT the largest, cotton manufactur-
ing centers of England.
He says that when he left home it
was generally understood that the
nora than 100 factories in Burnley
wou1d start up again in three or four
waeks Neither the labor nor the
markets of these mills have been
seriously affected by the war" said
Mr., Hargreaves. The majority OF
the operatives are women and chill
dren. and only a small percentage OF
the men operatives have been called
to the colors. The greater portion of
the goods manufactured in the Burn
lev mills is marketed in India, and
the war has not affected the market
there to any great extent. Great Brit
ain is still mistress of the seas and,
therefore, little or no difficulty will
be experienced in getting goods from
England to India.
Take Southern Cotton.
Il confidently expect that by the
time the Southern cotton begins to
find the market in October that Eng
land will be ready to take almost as
many bales as she did last year.
Mr.. Hargreayes and Mr.. G. NJ. Cor
bett of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, are in
the United States to study American
methods for handling insects which
prev upon rice, sugar cane, cotton,
tobacco and tropical fruits. They
were sent here by the English bureau
of entomology. They are both prom
inent entomologists and will use their
knowledge gained here to protect
crops in India, Egypt, Africa and
other British colonies which grow
products similar to those raised in
this country.
Their visit to Georgia was for the
purpose of studying crops and in
sect pests in this state. They will go
into weevil districts of neighboring
states.

 Stabbed.

As the writer returned from Pine Bluff, Thurs rsday having an hour or so between trains at Forrest City, he called on his old friend Landyoigt at the Times office. He found his old friend sitting in front of the house with throat and face bandaged by surgical hands on account of a knife thrust at the hands of Attorney La nier because of mild criticism of the acts of the local school board of which the assaulter was member, In the editorial columns of The Times
 The writer of this article read the offending article in The Times, and failed to see anything so offensive as to call for such murderous attack on an old man seventy four years old without warning. The comparative. ly young man must have been beside himself with rage to be betrayed in- to such an uncalled for act.
 However, we trust our good friend will soon be himself again and proper amends be made on the part of the assaulter, It was truly lamentable affair Lee County Courier.
