Meade, Kansas April IS IA

meade, AanSaS Aprll . ~
To the people of Meade Co.
The Health Officer takes this
means of trying to show the citi-
zens of Meade County the impor-
tance of cleaning up their prem
ises, but does not want to convey
the idea that a cleanup once
year is sufficient.
After you have read this page
and studied the laws covering
the important part of this work,
he believes you will all decide it
is better, much easier, and a
great many times more sanitary
and ihealthful to'keep clean, than
| it is to let a lot of rubbish accu-
mulate from one year to another.
Dirt seems to have the power
of accumulating dirt, just as a
few germs will grow into many
germs. AS most diseases are
caused by germs, and dirt is a
great breeder of germs:
Why not swat the dirt
That breeds the germs 4,
That cause disease
That feeds the fly,
Then from an aesthetic stand
point think how much better our
towns will look with well kept
lawns, than if the front and the
back yards we're decorated with
boquets of beef bones and tin
cans.
Hoping every street, alley,
and back yard in the county will
be clean, and kept clean as the
cleanest front yard, am,
Yours Respectfully,
VIM. F. Fee, Co Health Officer.

ask you to assist US by paying in
advance.

Auto Thieve. At Large

Dodge City, April 12-While
many Dodge City men were tight
ing a FIRE shortly after, Eniinigifl
in which two men were burned
to death, three men entered the
garage of c. e. Harry and stole
his seven passenger Oakland
automobile. Messengers were
sent to all the officers in sur
rounding towns and posse was
formed of local members of the
Federation of American Motor.
lists, who held their state conven.
ton in Dodge Saturday, to fol-
low the thieves.
The thieves rode into Mime
ola, just over the line m Clark
county. at three O'Clock this
morning. Their gasoline was
exhausted and they knocked the
lock off the supply tank in front
of garage there and were filling
their tank when the night watch
man attempted to arrest them
They fought and the officer shot
one of the three thieves twice in
breast and another one through
the neck, he thinks.
The car was found abandoned
two miles north of Minneola
where the men had left it when
they ran out of gasoline. The
inside was soaked with blood and
two overcoats found IN the car
also were blood soaked. The
car was uninjured except for a
bullet hole through the door.
The motor posse searched
every hay stack and barn for
miles surrounding the car, but
could find no trace of the thieves
1t is now believed they are local
men who have friends in the vi
cinity who are hiding them. A
second party of motorcyclists
lett here this morning 10 relieve
the men who have been searching
all day.

student of current political his
tory, or he is trying to fool
somebody.
Mr.. Capper declares for the
Initiative and Referendum, but
when the Democratic majority
in the last legislature was fight
leg to submit to the people a real
effective, 1nitiatiYe and Referen-
dunn amendment, where was Mr..
Capper? Did any of Mr.. Capper''s
ffty-seven varieties of newspa-
pers call on the Republicans in
the legislature to quit playing
politics" and support the resolu-
ton agreed upon by the major
ity2 Did any of Mr.. Capper's
publications criticise Mr.. Stone
and Mr.. Brewster and the forty
one Republicans who tied them
selves hand and foot in caucus
agreement to vote against this
resolution?
They did not. Mr.. Capper
was playing politics then. He
is playing politics now. The
resolution to which Stone and
Brewster we're wiling to agree
was one which even that arch
stand-patter Charley Scott de-
clared to be perfectly harm
less."
Mr., Capper also declares for
the recall of unfaithful public Of
ficials- The last Democratic
legislature submitted constitu-
tional amendment providing for
such recall and it will be voted
upon by the people of Kansas
this year, and so that part of Mr..
Capper's Platforms unmitigat-
ed "bunc."
Mr.. Capper declares for the
abolition Of child labor in factor
les, apparently ignorant of the
fact that child labor in factories
is already prohibited by statute
and that the last legislature pro-
vided for the appointment of a
woman factory inspector whose
special duty is made to look af-
ter this matter.
Mr.. Capper also wants wife de-
serton punished; and again
seems to be ignorant that a very
stringent statute for the punish
ment of wife desertion, is al
ready upon the statute books
and that the number of men in
the penitentiary for that crime,
would indicate that it is being
vigorously enforced.
Mr.. Capper wants executive
fees exacted by Probate Courts
eliminated, again forgetful of the
fact that the last legislature abol-
ished the fee system in Kansas.
Mr.. Capper wants the school
houses open for public meetings
and for the encouragement of
the social center idea, and on this
head of the Press Bureau is COM
PEELED to remind him that the
legislature of 1913 passed two
laws opening every school house
in Kansas for these very pur-
poses.
Mr.. Capper is for adequate and
equitable workingmen's compen-
satlon law. Is he ignorant of the
fact that the last Legislature
amended and extended the oper-
alton of the workingmen's COM
pensation act passed during the
Stubs Administration?
Mr.. Capper wants a law re-
quiring the placing of compe-
tent women on Boards in charge
of all institutions where women
and children are detained. Mr..
Capper evidently everlooks the
fact that Democratic Governor,
without any law requiring such
action, has placed woman in
charge of the State Blind School,

Of an aching back relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve but not permanently.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought last
ing results to thousands. Here is proof
of their merit from this vicinity.
Mrs. Martha Wood. lac So. Second

used Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for
ten years and they have never failed to
help me. My kidneys were very weak
and a slight cold was enough to cause a
bad attack of kidney trouble. The kid
ney secretions were unnatural and had
other symptoms of kidney complaint.
My back was weak and painful and
had dizzy spells and headaches. | took
several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
and permanent relief followed. / have

Illinois. after visiting for q month with
Mrs. c. y. Kelley. Miss Wysnt de-
clared that this was the shortest month
she ever knew. So many trips were
taken through the grand scenery sur
rounding Cunnison and so many courte-
sizes were shown her by our hospitable
people, that the time went by as if on
wings. After enjoying the cool weather
of the Western Slope, she was sorry to

assistant superintendent of the Primrose
mine in the Ludlow district. and saw all
the exciting times of the recent war.
Many other former citizens of Crested
Butte were in that section of Colorado
at the time, but Mr.. Neesham declares
they all saw enough of it, for the war
was certainly up to Sherman's defini-
ton. He declares that the miners have
won nine out of ten of the original de
mands. but the tenth one, the so-called
recognition of the union, they will never
win.

JUSTICE COURT KEPT BUSY

Norman Barr and Ralph kinkaid were arraigned before Justice Patter- son Thursday on the charge of misde- meanor, brought by Dr. J. B. Hill, whose automobile they appropriated to jov ride Wednesday night.
 Barr, who is a very able mechanic has been in charge of the repair work at the Grand avenue garage, and so had access to all the machines, claimed that he was simply trying the car out' but as the time chosen happened to be ? a. m., he could not convince the judge. who gave him twenty days.
 Kinkaid, who accompanied him on the ride, was working at the sugar fac tory and being short of funds, was given permission to sleep in the garage with Barr, by Mr COrtmel. chief en- gineer at the factory. and also owner of the garage Kinkaids defense was that he was invited to go along, but as it developed that these trips had been quite frequent recently, he was fined s10 and failing to pay the same was committed along with Barr to the county jail,
 The next case called was Tom Cada Japanese, who had left his team un- tied, after the marshall informed hin it was against the law to do so. H, was fined s5 which he paid.
 A Mexican was given ten days fol disorderly conduct.

TEMPE
COTTON GINS ARRIVE
 OPERATIONS RESUMED
Progress on Tempe Ginnery Not Likely to Be Halted
 Nov.

Activities around the premises of the Tempe Cotton Exchange were re turned to the standard set by the construction work during July, yes terdaN. when wo.k was started on unloading the ten gins which arrived i-um Charleston. Virginia, on the day Trevious From now until the gin nery is complete and ready for ser vice. operations will be as lively as ever on the exchange grounds, for hy the time the gins are unloaded and set up. the fixtures and supplies will be here. It is thought that Septcmbec l. or but a few days thereafter will see the gin ready for operation.
 The ten gin stands are of the Platt make, the same that have been in stalled in the other valley mills. To Tempe they were shipped direct from Charleston. Virginia, but were prim- arily supplied for the cotton eX- change at the home of the firm 1T England.
 The ginnery fixtures are on the road from the factory at Dallas, Tex as. and by all schedules of the rail roads should be here Monday O. Tuesday of next week The gasoline engines. now on the road from tn factory at Springfield, Ohio, shoul' also arrive within d very short time
