1t is not great many days un'
til a meeting will be called for
the purpose of nominating a city
ticket: mayor, five councilmen,
and police judge, to be voted
upon at the regular election to
be held on Monday, the 5th day
of April. Those elected at this
time will have charge of the af-
fairs of our city for the coming
two years, and should be indi-
viduals who have property in-
terests here, who are known to
have the future welfare of Meade
at heart, who will favor the
issues which will result in the
greatest good to the greatest
number, and who are not con.
troled by any clique or faction.
These are the qualifications
we ought to consider rather than
whether or not a candidate be-
longs to "our" party, "our''
clique, or "our" church. We all
want to favor what is best for
Meade, and harmony in our com
ing city election is the one thing
we ought to have. So far we
have not heard how many of the
present city officials will allow
their names to be placed on thu
ticket for reelection, or how
many tickets will be in the field
but feel that what ever is don,
will be in the best interests o
our city.

Just at this time prospects for
1915 wheat crop could not be
better. About the usual acreage
was seeded last fall and early
spring will see it in excellent
condition, largely due to the re.
cent rains and SHOWS, which
haye put the ground in condition
to carry the wheat to nearly har-
vest time; then the spring rains,
which are sure to come can be
depended upon for additional
moisture and an abundant har-
vest will be the outcome.

Statement

Senators Carey, Carney, and
Shouse, of the Senate Ways aud
Means Committee have issued
the following statement regard
ing the deadlock now existing
between the Senate aud the
House over the appropriations.
1t is worth reading, and gives
in brief the stand taken by the
Senate for the up-kecp and main
tenance of the State Institutions:
ut was source of regret and
disappointment to us that the
conference mmittees could
not get together on the appro
priation items. Had we been
able to agree upon the education
al budget it was the feeling Of
every mem Der of the joint COM
mlttee that we would have got
ten together on the other points
of difference. The maintenance
provisions of the two houses for
the state schools are not wide
apart; the principal difference Is
in the matter of buildings.
The senate has recommended
d schedule of buildings at the
different institutions which,
after careful investigation, it be.
lieved to represent the absolute
needs of those institutions. All
the evidence secured since such
investigation has strengthened
that belief. At the same time
the senate conferecs entered the
conference with open mind, and
were not only willing to be shown
where they had made mistakes,
if they had made mistakes in
their recon mendations, but were
also willing to make liberal con-
cessions in getting together on
a report to which both houses
could agree. AS final solution
of the difficulty the senate COM
mittee offered to agree to a build
ing schedule which would not re-
quire a large appropriation of
money at this time, simply start
ing buildings at the institutions
and leaving them for the next
Legislature to finish.
The total appropriations for
such buildings which would have
come within the next levy would !
not have been very much larger
than the appropriations contem-
plated by the proposal of the
house mittee when il offered !
to concede the buildings at the
Emporia Normal school in addi-
tion to the building at the Fort
Hays Normal school.
The point was raised by some
mem bers of the house committee

High School Notes

ploWed this week and the agri-
cultural students will soon put
in practice what they have been
studying in theory, They will
plant several new grasses and
field crops for trial among 9TH
ers we know of Sudan grass from
the Soudan in North Africa;
Tepary beans from the dry Sec
tions of Arizona; Soy beans from
Japan; Field peas from Canada;
Vetches and several kinds of
clover. 1t is our guess that the
plot will be worth a visit this
summer.
We have heard many compile
rnents of our display of Manual
Training projects in the NJ. &
NJ. window. The only criticism
we heard was that the painting
was not as good grade of work
as the wood work. We plead
guilty for the room that we have
to use in finishing these projects
is always full of floating dust and
it is almost impossible to find a
time when the finish could hard
en- dust free. The boys hope
that in the new building that we
are hoping to get there will be
an attic or something where they
can finish their projects free
from dust and inquisitive fingers.

the therRpy he advocates rests on this

One Of the reasons for the widespread
success OF Eckman's Alternative i'm the
treatment OF tuberculosis and chronic
throat and bronchial troubles is It's abil-
ity TO supply this deficiency.
IL contains lime salt I'm such form
and so combined with other remedial
agents as TO be easily aSsimilated by the
average persons. There are on record
many cases In which IL seems TO have eff
. fected complete and lasting betterment.
! However, we make no exaggerated

tries any other prescription, and be
lieve il Will help, for IT HAS HELPED
