The building has been designed
by the same architect and con-
struction will be made by the
same people as the one here. In
the place of the outside brick,
however, they plan to use the
tile and stucco it upon the out
side. The price was a little bet
ter than $28, 600. Pricesin build
ing material nave advanced from
twenty-five to thirty per cent
more than they were at the time
the Meade building was con-
tracted.
The high school band has con-
tracted to play for the Fair.
The practice time is very short
but the boys promise to work
and TO be there on time. Be pa
tent this time and boost. Next
year, if the boys practice thru
the Winter as they did last, they
will offer the Fair. Association a
band that can play with any of
them. Two practices have been
held and the boys have driven
from five to fifteen miles to be
present. That is the spirit it
takes to make a band.
Our neighbor1ng town of
Montezuma let contract for a
school duilding three weeks af-
ter the Meade contract. So far
not brick has been laid.
While students and teachers
are looking forward to the COM
mencement OF school with per-
haps more than usual enthusiasm
and interest, still there is deep
sadness felt in the hearts of all
and continually express that two
of the best friends that Meade
education has ever had, are not
here to enjoy the completion of
the building IN which they we're
so much interested. May the
Meade public schools render to
the young people of this county |
a service that is in keeping with
the spirit and hopes of Frank 1.
Bennett and James Wilson.

much energy in displaying what
you have produced, as the Fair
Association is doing to help you
help Meade county to take it's
proper place among the best
counties OF the state, the fair
this year will be the best and
the most profitable one for our
county ever held. 1t is in your
power to put Meade county to
the forefront. We urge every
farmer, gardner, and stockraiser
to exercise the proper spirit
towards this enterprise. Bring
an exhibit and place before the
public the products of your
farms, pastures, and poultry
yards. Come and bring your
family, greet your neighbors,
get acquainted with those who
have lately become citizens of
this bully county, renew old
friendships, form new ones,
show what you have done this
season, and learn what others
are doing. You will 60 home
rested, and take hold of life's
duties with a new energy, a bet
ter feeling to all the world,
and will be better satisfied
with your lot in life, and in fact
you will like yourself and yours

"Souse" To The Pen

1t has remained for IL. Llewelyn
Jones, member of the 1915 legis-
lature from Meade county, to
discover the possibilities of the
"persistentvio violator" law. Jones
would send the habitual drunk
ard to the penitentlary. This
law provides that after person
has been convicted once of vio-
lating this law, on later convic-
tions he shall be convicted of a
felony and sent to the peniten-
tiary. Jones was Topeka visit
or yesterday, and explained what
he had done.
The county attorney went
away on his vacation and left me
in charge of his Office" explain
ed Jones. "Thereis is restaurant
cook in Fowler who had been
convicted twice of drunkenness.
He went on a roaring drunk the
other day, and / have charged
him with felony as persistent
violator of the prohibltory law.
If the persistent jointist is a
felon, so is the habitual drunk
ard. And unless the county at
torney goes back on me, we will
try to send this Frank Lew to
the penitentiary as persistent
vlolator."
Never again will Jones be a
member of the legislature, he
, says. The night the Legislature

Sues City for Dead Dog.
(New York Sun.)


 Whether dogs faithfulness to his master has a money value was the question yesterday before supreme court Justice Erlanger and jury, when the case of Lorenzo Provezano, a shoemaker, of 1096 Clay avenue, the Bronx, against the city of New York, was called for trial. ProveZano wanted $2,000 from the city because his bulldog was killed by the board of health for biting a boy.
 Proyezano told the jury that he kept a candy store in addition to his shoe shop, and that when he had to go to the shoe shop near by, the dog stood guard over the candy shop and kept out all presons.
 He was just a trustworthy watch- dog" said the master, without pedi- greet. and only cur. Mf nephew brought him to me when he was a month old, and nursed him on a bot tie. He never growled, and always did what he was told"
 The plaintiff said that the bite for which his dog was killed was only scratch inflicted while he was romp- ing with threc boys. How much was he worth?" asked Assistant Corporation Counsel Chil- Vers.
 "FIe was just as good as man watchman, replied Provezano. He was a dog without crown?" suggested the court. His only crown was what I gave him in my heart" said Provezano The city contends that the dog was vicious and that tho community was we'll rid of him. The case was not fin ished.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
 BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Predicted by Treasury Offfcials--Opti- mism Based on Report of Eighty
 National Bank Examiners.

Washington, April 9.-Treasury off, .ficials were predicting today contin- ued improvement in business condi- tions throughout the country. Their optimism was based on reports from eighty national bank examiners which the department has made public in statement declaring the recent past has been marked by 8 steady return to conditions existing before the Eu- ropean war upset American commsr- cial relations both domestic and for eign.
 Revival of business activity in vir- tually every line was found. There was pronounced hopefulness, the re-
 port said, in agricultural, commer- cial and manufacturing circles. Business in the south, the depart ment announced, with cotton active at advancing prices is showing & pro- nounced improvement. Crop pros- poets in the south were declared ex- cellent. In the western and Pacific states general improvement was noted. The lumber industry was said to be recovering and mining was resuming on larger scale, Good crops were predicted.
 Some depression still is felt in New England, the middle Atlantic states and portions of the central west, it | was said. Although crop conditions
 were declared satisfactory, manufac- l turing, except for foreign trade, was
 said to be tagging, Maine, however,
 was said to be the only state in which there was any real depression. There was an increased demand it was said, for railroad cars and steel rails and for structural iron.
