Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Steimel
were here from Ellinwood the
first of the week visiting with
friends and making arrangements
to move to this city to make their
future home. Mr.. Steimel has of
late been employed in the Ellin-
wood light and water department,
but for several years prior was
connected with the Mangesdorf
store ill their clothing department.
He has accepted a position here
with the Marx & BerScheidt store
and will take up his duties with
that firm next Monday. Mr.. Stei-
mel is very pleasant gentleman
who is very popular with all who
know him and his long experience
in the clothing business will make
him a valuable emplOye for the

Martin Keenan, was in from

Hugh Byers and Otis EverS
we're in from Eureka township
Saturday attending to business
matters and visiting with friends,
They report a big rain out in
their vicinity last Thursday which
put the ground in fine shape for
finishing up their fall work, but
knocked out threShing for several
days.
The Ellinwood Fire Department
boys have recently received a fine
new hose cart and truck of which
they re justly proud. The old
truck was too cumbersome and
heavy for the boys to handle in
good shape and with their new
equipment they expect to be able
to do much more efficient work.
Ellinwood has as good a volunteer
fire department as any town of
| its size in the state, and the SER
vice they have rendered the town
on many occasions entities them
to the best equipment the city can
give them.
Fred C. Witte was in from the
south side Saturday and called
to have his name added to the
Democrat list. He reports most
of the ground in shape for wheat
out his way but he is not inclined
to rejoice very much over the
kind of rains we have been hav-
ing lately. During the last two
rains the water has fallen so fast
that it did not get a chance to soak
into the soil and about all ran
down to the low places and did
not benefit the upland to any
great extent.
Will Null was in from Pawnee
Rock township Saturday on bus
mess trip and visit and took occa-
sion to hand the Democrat man
the wherewith to have the paper
sent to his address the coming
wear. Will is one farmer who is
not hankering for any rain Tor a
little while for he has been trying
to get his wheat threshed for sew
eral weeks and on account OF the
rains the machine has not gotten
to his place yet. He had out about
400 acres last year and about all
of it will make a good crop and
he will have about 5000 bushels
or better. And instead OF selling
Will is fixed so that he can put it
all in the bin and hold it until
the price is exactly to his liking.
He has a fine big grain elevator
on his farm so that he has plenty
of storage room and he is going
to take a chance on holding it
and getting the high price this
year. He will put out about $50
acres this fall and already has his
ground about all prepared.

wheat A JOKE!

:: Republican politicians, both the
Standpat and the Prog. varieties,
have been bowling that the Amer
ican farmers were to be ruined
because wheat is being admitted
free of duty from South America.
The Hall-Baker Grain Company,
of Kansas City, has just sold a car
60 of 100000 bushels of wheat for
shipment to Santos, Brazil, and
the ship will sail with it from New
Orleans this week. Seven other
vessels are loading at New Orleans
to carry Kansas wheat to England.
Wh(e)at joke this is on our
Republican and Progressive breth-
, rem. 1t leaves them without a peg
on which 10 hang their farmer lar
iff protection Scarecrow.
The fact is that Canada is the
only country that would ever be
likely to send wheat into the
United States and it will never
come from there because wheat
is always worth from two to five
cents per buShel more in Canada
than it is in the United States.
Besides, wheat, to come from Can
ada to the United States, would
have to pay a duty because free
trade in wheat is not in effect
from countries which levy a duty
on wheat from the United States.
1t is a further fact, that abSo-
tutely above denial, that no pro-
tective tariff ever did benefit the
American farmer a single cent.
Our farmers produce for export
and prices are covered by the
worlds market. All talk of tariff
benefiting American farmers is
pure buncomb.
And wheat a joke it is to
have eight big ShiploadS, nearly
two, million bushels, of Kansas
wheat sent to foreign countries
from one seaport in a single week
What an awful ruin for the
American farmers! 1--WE should

Will Osmond returned Tuesday
from trip to Kiowa county where
he was looking after his farming
interests and he reports every.
thing as looking fine down that
way. He brought back some sam
pies of corn from his farm, both Of
the yellow and white varieties,
and both are of excellent quality
and Mr.. OSmond believes that the
fields will yield at least so bu-
shells per acre.
Marshal Frank Hitchcock was
over from Claflin couple of days
this week looking after business
matters and visiting with his
many friends. He reports every.

is good in all lines but his and
that the people over that way are
too orderly to need the services

LIKE LINCOLN USED TO TALK.
(The views of a Lincoln Republi

(The views of a Lincoln Republi

When Lincoln ran for president
Twas out in Illinoy -
5TO hear him speak | often went,
Though | was but a boy;
An though | never will forget
The miles | had to walk,
Twas wuth it every time, you bet,
To hear Abe Lincoln talk.
Now when I hear a candidate
! Who wants that office, too,
Git up before a crowd and state
He's Lincoln Number Two,
He can't fool me, know he's not,
An every time I've balked--
There's only one in all the lot
That talks like Lincoln talked.
I've just been reading Wilson's
speech,
SO honest and so plain,
. The. doctrine Lincoln used to
-. preach,
1t all comes back again:
For Woodrow'S speech is just i'm
mnnSn
An straight as a line of chalk,
ITS full of reason, common sense,
Like Lincoln used to talk.
In all his speech he didn't call
No names to anyone,
But spoke with charity for all
And malice toward none:
He didn't try to go it blind"
But carefully to walk;
HIS words were gentle, true and
kind,
Like Lincoln used to talk.
Aplain and simple man of brain.
Who wants to do what's right,
and pretty sure his point to gain
Without a quarrel or fight.
But firm in doing and intent,
A man who won't be baked
We want a man for president
Who talks like Lincoln talked.

TURKEY INTO WAR;
TO AID THE GERMANS.
Ottoman Government Mobilizes
Army of 100000 MOham-
medans.

Rome, via. Paris, Sept. IA
telegram received in Rome from
Berlin announces the mobilization
of the Turkish army. a
Following the advice of Field
Marshal Baron Won Der Goltz, it
is stated the Turkish government
will form an army of the first line
composed of 100000 men, all Mo-
hammedanS.
Seventy-two superior German
officials, forming the German mil
itary mission at ConStantinople,
have been incorporated in the
Turkish army and will partici-
pate in the war.
! The presence of the German of
ficerS in the army is interpreted
to mean that Turkey will fight on
the side of Germany.
Washington, Sept. 1.-Great
Britain has asked the United
States to take care of her diplo-
matte interests in Turkey in case
of a declaration of war on the al
lies by the Porte, which is momen-
tarily expected.
Ambassador in Doubt.
The Turkish ambassador, A..
RuStem Bey, expressed doubt to-
day that the Turkish army was
about to fight on the side of Ger
many. He said the Turkish army
was modified three weeks ago.
"AS regards the rumors con-
corning the reformation of a Bal
kan alliance against Turkey, | de-
sire 10 state that they are abSo-
lutely false" said the ambassador.
What appears to be conclusive
as to that is that the TurkiSh-Bul-
garian committee, which had been
formed just before the war, to
consider means of furthering the
interests of the two countries, has
held several meetings since the
opening of the European hoStili-
ties and at these meetings both
the Turkish and Bulgarian men,
berS delivered earnest addresses
commenting upon the community
OF interest of the two countries.
What is even more significant
is that the Semi-official Bulgarian
newspaper. the Politica, states
that the object Of, the committee
enjoys the sympathy of all the
aducated circles in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria Sister Nation.
This would mean that Bulgar-
la, which, on account of her acci-
dent OF language, was Joined to the
Slav nations, now diSclaimS a
community of interest with the
Slav people and proclaims her
self a sister nation of the Turkish
people, which, in reality, she is"

OF which the Red and Black flag
will be hoiSted tomorrow and the
insurgents will enter the town.

SET A HIGH MARK.
In Writing Insurance, EllinwOOd
Boy Gets Free Trip to
Chicago.

Will Weber, of Ellinwood, son
of J. P. Weber, during the month
of August, again demonstrated
that he is another Barton county
boy who is going to make good at
whatever he undertakes, and, as
is usual with Will, he more than
made good IN this case.
Will is one of the younG fell
rows who happily is not imDGeu
with the idea that the worl0, or
his parents, either, for that mat
ter, owe him a living, and by good,
honest, hard work and huSrling,
he has been practically making
his own living for several years.
During the y:arS he was in The
high school in EllinwOOd he
worked as porter in one of the
barber shops, hustled subScrip-
for the Ellinwood Leader, and
worked at odd jobs, so that in adj
dition to bis school work he was
employed every day from carly
in the morning until late at night.
After graduating from the schools
at that place he attended Cooper
College at Sterling, and KEPT VI
his busy record by selling acci-
dent and health insurance during
his spare times, and he made such
a record at the business that he
not only paid his own way but
was also enabled to lay up a little
money on the side, and he did not
permit his school work to SLff4!
thereby, for he made most credit
able grades in all his studies. This
summer he has been writing in
Surance for the National Life In
Surance Company. and by appli-
cation to business and much huS.
ting he has made enough money
so that he now sees his way tC
enter X. U. this fall, and his news
paper work and other business
experience has stood him in such
good stead that he has secured the
!poSition as assistant manager oil
the college newspaper at the Kan.
SaS University, a job which will
give him a vast amount of valu
able experience and will also as.
SiSt him materially in making hi:
way through school independent
ly. During the month of Angus
the National Life company offer.
ed a free trip to Chicago to all oil
their agents who would sell 5000
worth of insurance during the
month, with all of their expenses
paid, and Will went after theil
offer one better and then some
by writing a total of $4,000 worth
during the month, and is now en-
jOying a visit to Chicago at the
cOmpany'S expense.
Will is a good student, a hustler
a good worker and a gentleman
in every way. and his many
friends will be glad to hear of his
success. He can be counted on to
make good at whatever he under
takes, and he will undoubtedly set
a pace at X. U. that will make the
other students at the university
sit up and take notice.
