Mr.. L. P. Gilbert, of Lamar,
was renewing old acquaintance
and distributing home grown ap-
Piles in the Arapahoe country last
week. The friends so fortunate
as to receive a visit from this ex-
cellent gentleman We're Messrs

| erything flourishing in the La

There was tumult in the little
| city of Arapahoe last Saturday
when some of the officials of the
Farmers Union undertook to pre-
vent the great crowd of people
who had come from.miles around
from hearing instructive lectures
bv State Dairy Commissioner
Morgan and Deputy McCann.
These well informed and inter-
esting gentlemen stood their
ground with easy grace and per-
feet self possession while we re-
gret to say their opponents went
up in the air. and behaved in
manner most unworthy Of the
great Union they represent.
Arapahoe is a peaceful and pros
porous little town surrounded by
communities of free thinking
broad minded people who sincere
ly regret the absence Of courtesy
extended these gentleman. When
a man fails to remember that he
is gentleman to the extent that
he uses coarse language in the
presence Of men, ladies and chill
dren, ca others be expected to
remember it?
Messrs. Morgan and Nc Cam
were given the g,ad hand at the
dagger school house in the even
ing and were extended every
courtesy due the dignity of their
Offices in so far as it was possible
for the farmers to do so. They
did not need to pro :laim from the
house tops in boisterous tones
that they were gentlemen. We
sort Of suspected it as soon as we
saw them and their behaviour
under most trying circumstances
confirmed our belief. 1t took
Mr.. Morgan but three minutes to
deliver his address at Arapahoe.
The eager crowd hungry for
knowledge fingered at the school
house, asking questions and ex-
changing ideas until the speakers
were forced to hustle to catch the
midnight train. jolly good fel-
lowship exists in the dagger
community and if each farmer
does MT love his neighbor as him
self he does a good Job of keep
ing it secret. Your MESSAGES
were good ones Messrs Dairy
