A Three CoTnered Congressional Fight.

The injection Of Attorney Kugler of
Usage into the congressional fight oin
this district at this time, as candidate
Of the Progressive part, is going to
give rise to number of complications,
provided Congressman Haugen detern-
ines to be the candidate of the Repub-
lican party. First and foremost of
these is the probability of a three corn
cred fight, with the Democratic nomi.
nee representing united party. The
results of such fights are always prob
lematic, their solution depending large
ly upon the personal popularity of the
personal popularity of the candidates.
There is considerable discussion among
republicans of both factions who believe
that Mr.. Haugen has had about all the
favors that his liabilities merit, hence
that if he is nominated he will suffer
considerable loss of votes among those
who have heretofore supported him.
What theloutcome of the scramble as
outlined may be we do not know, but
it might be suggested that Progressive
and.standpat Republicans set aside all
who have thus far been considered in
connection with the nomination for
congress and put up an entirely new
man-not new in the isense of being
unknown-one who has not been men,

+. WILL TALK LIGHT RATES.
Utilities Commission: VIII Be- Here
For That Purposes March 10th.

The Public Utilities Commission
wiz hold an open meeting in Great
Bend March 10th for the purpose of
taking up the question; Of light rates
Tor the city, and to decide whether OF
not the same are excessive and shCult
be. reduced. The question has been
discussed to a great extent during
the past few months, the city com
mksioners being Of the opinion that
a 40 cent rate should be given, with
a 90 cent per month minimum. The
light company have Offered to give
a 10 cent rate with a rs cent a mont
minimum, or a IL cent rate with the
90 cent minimum, but the city faith
.ers have stood pat on their prcposi-
ton, and 1t will be up to the utih--
ties commission to decide the ques-
tton. Both the commissioners and the
light company are Of the opinion that
the decision will be in their favor as
each claim that their proposition Is
as fair as could be asked for. The
chances, however, are that the prop
.oSitim Of the light company will be
the one which will be put. in force.
It is amaterial reduction from the
rate now charged and we believe
that the proposition should have been
accepted when It was first made to
the commissioners several months

MRS. HOOPER INJURED.

Mrs. C. A. Hooper suffered a bad
TALL ON the porch at their home last
Thursday evening in which she sus-
tained a broken arm and other min
or bruises. as the result OF stepping
on an icy board. Her injuries are
very painful. but she is now getting
along in good shape.
Mr.. Hooper was at the store at
the time of Mrs. HoOper's accident,
and in hurTying home he slipped and
fell ON the icy walk in the yard, dis
locating the thumb Of his right hand,
and bruising one of his limbs up in
pretty bad shape. Two accidents in
the family is about enough at one
time, and the many friends of the
Hooper family will hope that the
'tin&' has departed from their house
hold ere this and that the hoOdco
will stay away.

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.
They Talked MIX condensary and
& Truck Farming. . >:

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Great Bend business men was
held in the Commercial Club rooms
Monday evening, with but only a few
Of, the members In attendance. VIII
Merritt made. am interesting talk. be-
fore the assembly regarding a midk
condeusary and the chances OF being
able TO locate such. AN industry at
this place. Mr.. Merritt. has visited
some of the large condensaries over
the country and has made am exhaust
i've study Of the subject and is con-
vinced that II. would be a highly prof.
liable thing for. the farmers If they
would only get interested enough to
give the thing a thorough trial. At
the condensary at Lamar, Colo, the
average price paid for milk for six
months was $1.91 per 100 pounds,
which is certainly a profitable price
for the .dairyman to receive. In the
summer months, OF course, the price
will not average quite up to this fig
ure. The plant at Lamar is one Of
the largest and best In the world and
cost In the neighborhood Of 100000
but a,mOdern plant of me .ium capac.
ity can be built for from forty to III
ty thousand dollars The plant at
Mulvane, Kansas, has been in oper-
alton for a number Of years and is
a good illustration oi what. dadrying
will do for any community where the
proper methods are used and where
the dairyman can find a good mar
ket for his product. The land IN the
vicinity was similar to the land near
Great Bend-if any difference 1t was
not a good. It had been sown to
wheat so often that the soil had
lost a great deal of its fertility and
the farmers were practically forced
to abandon wheat farming and take
up daiirying in order to make a iv-
ing. When the condensary first was
opened there was for several weeks
only a little more than one thousand
pounds of milk received daily and the
promoters were fearful that they
would have to shut down the plant.
Now the cOndensary company pays
out over twenty thousand dollars ev-
cry month to the farmers i'm the i'm
mediate vicinity Of Mulvane, the land
has doubled in price to what iit was
before the condenSary was started,
many of the big farms have been cut
up into smaller tracts and the COM
munitys is more thickly settled and
vastly more prosperous in every way,
and 1t is all owing to the old brfndle
cow, who has proved herself a mort
gage litter and a builder Of bank ac-
counts ever since such things were
first invented by mortal man.
The question was raised that the
Establishment Of condensary might
work an injury to the local cream
cry, but Mr.. Merritt said that this
was not so. for the condensary uses
the whole milk and as it must be ne
ceived in a perfectly fresh state, the
radius from which they would draw
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1914-02-13

patrons would only be about ten or
twslVe miles on an average, whereas
the, creamery buys by far the greater
portion Of their cream at a consider
able distance from here. Mr. Merritt
stated that 1t would be necessary for
to pledge amy company the product
Of at least 1000 cows before a con-
densary could be established on a
profitable basis which would mean
that Just about twice as many COWS
would have to be kept In this imme-
dtee vicinity fer commeri.l dairy
purposes as are kept at the pres,nI
time.
Acommittee consisting Ct NdI Ham
mond, Tom Keegsn and Cliff Davis
were appointed from the Association
to go into the matter thoroughly and
report at the next meeting, and al
which time acommi tee wild plooab,g
be appointed to go to Mulvane, look
over the proposition there are see
what, if anything, can be done to-
wards interesting the farmers here
in the subject Of having a condensary
established here, for it is solely up
to the farmers as to whether or net
the project would be a success. If
they are interested enough in the
movement it will be a success, and
will undoubtedly prove to be great
ly to the benefit of themselves and
the whole community, but it would
be to them that the company would
have to look for their product and If
they are not interested the agitation
will amount to nothing. %
One other question discussed at
some length was that of truck farm.
ing. Supt. Senter, Of the city schools
told of the work done in this line at
the Hays Normal School last summer,
when tomatoes were made to pay a
clear profit of $500 per acre, and
other things a profit IN proportion.
At the Hays school the irrigating
outfit used was only a cheap affair,
which did not necessitate the outlay
of much money, and a home made
cannery was established which was
used to can the vegetables which
they could not prOfitably market in
the fresh state.
Win Hammond stated that last Sun
mer his company shipped four full
cars of fresh tomatoes to Great Berd
and other vegetables in proportion all
of which they would have beeen glad
to have purchased from home pee
pie If they could have done so and
the stuff had been put up in market
able shape. The experience Of Mr..
Baxter, Of south of town, and sever
al other who have tried out the pro
ject on a smaller scale, has clearly
demmtrated that the soil and cE-
matte conditions here are ideal for
this kind Of farming and all that is
needed is the establishment Of small
irrigating plants to furnish moisture
during seasons such as last year.
We hope and believe that the Sub
jects Of both datrying and truck farm
ing viii receive more thought and
attention during this spring and sum
mG than ever befOre, and believe
that both viii prove to be paying
propositions, far IN advance Of grain
farming alone.

Dover, Del, July 27.-Dover's initial

A collection was taken by Mrs. Flor
