Served "a Years

If it were possible to pension
City officials for long and faith
full service, there is one man in
Meade whose name might well
be placed on such payroll and
that man is John Wehrle, owner
of the Wehrle dry goods store.
For twenty-four years he has
been a member Of the City Coun~
Gil of Meade, being first elected
on April 9th, 1891, and retiring
April 18th, 1915. Throughout
those many years he has faith
fully assisted in shaping the des-
tlnies of Meade. A striking con-
rrast would be noted, were it
possible for us to place before
you a picture of Meade that
many years ago and one of to-
day. We now have a modern
city, one of the best in the west,
then-paint your own picture.
Other officials have served their
time and passed on, many out
of the city and state, and some
to the Great Beyond, but each
succeeding election has found
the name of John Wehrle again
on the ticket, and always with
out his solicitation. 1t can well
be said of him that no citizen
in Meade is more highly respect
ed or more deserving of the trust
and confidence that has been
placed in him.
Following are the names of the
City officials in 1891:
Mayor. w. F. Foster dead
Councilmen:
Dick Skinner, Meade
f. w. Flick,
B. S. McMeel
John Wehrle ="
J. B. KlInk< Guthrie Okla.
Mr.. Wehrle is an uncle of the
management of this paper.

S. \. Mathews, postmaster at
Uneda bad quite an experience
one day this week. He came to
Meade in the morning and closed
a deal with J. |. Stamper for his
Ford. He had no experience in
driving car, but with few In.
structions he managed it quite
well, He went to the depot and
loaded the car with freight and
started home. When he reached
the hill south of Meade, he in
some way lost control of the ma
chine, and came within but a few
feet of going over a deep fill. In
a few minutes he got the car in
the road ana went on home.

New City Officials

Last Monday evening was the
date for the meeting of the City
Council, and at which time the
retiring members transferred
their duties TO their successors
who we're at that time sworn in.
The subject of putting IN
curbing and cement cutters in

will in all probability be made in
the near future.
An additional we'll will be put
down at the city pumping plant.
1t will be d 4.inch tubular and
will be about 1S0 feet in depth.
In addition to this, another res.

water during the summer
months when the demand is al

Annual School Meeting

Last Friday was annual school
meeting day for District No. 2
and large crowd gathered to
discuss school matters.
The report Of the treasurer
and of the clerk showed that the
school is in excellent condition
financially.
Two members of the board
we're to be elected but it was de.
clded to take up other questions
first.
The question of additional
room came first. After gem
eral discussion, including re-
marks by J. N. Hamilton and H.
Llewelyu Jones on the subject
of the style building needed and
the law governing the erection
of public buildings, the vote Of
The meeting OIL new building OF
some kind was unanimous, the
Judgment of the members of the
board to govern in the selection
of plans. 1t must be remember
ed that to vote their wishes was
the extent of the authority of the
meeting, and the next step was
to present to the school board
petition signed by one.third of
the qualified electors of the dis
trict. asking that .hsy call an
election for the voting of bonds
for the erection of an additional
building. H. Llewelyn Jones,
A. T. Bodle, and l.. Boehler we're
appointed as committee to draw
up the petition. Upon investi-
cation it was learned that bonds
to the amount of SIS, 200 could
be voted, and the petitions were
drawn up accordingly. At this
time the necessary number of
signatures have been secured
and the election will be called in
the very near future.
1t was decided to divide the
grades next year, that is, to en-
ploy one teacher for each grade.
The amount necessary to run
the school next year was esti-
mated at $s, 900 and that amount
was voted.
Next was the election of Of
hcers. F. l. Bennett was re-
elected Clerk without opposition.
For the place of Treasurer,
made vacant by the resignation
of H. Llewelyn Jones, Geo. w.
Day and C.S. Hulburt we're nom
mated, with the result that Mr..
Hulburt received a majority of
seyen over Mr.. Day. On molten
of Mr.. Day the election of Mr.
Hulburt was made unanimous.
The present school year has
been the most successful in the
schools HISTORY; teachers nave
worked in perfect harmony; the
parents have Co-operRted; and
the six and six plan has been a
great success; in fact the school
has been passed upon by the in-
spectors as being among the
very best in the state. Living
in county supporting such
High school, what necessity is
there for any of the young people
of Meade county being sent out
of the county to get an educa-
tion?
With such an institution almost
at your very door, you should do
everything in your power to
keep the standard high.-Vote
for the bonds, and tell all your
friends to do likewise.

German ChIIdren aswear or,

BERLIN, Feb. 90. (Correspondence
OF The Associated Press Have yot,
signed the pledges! is the question
that everybody In Germany, even to
the school children, is asking every
body else. The pledge is not for the
usual temperance cause. 1t refers to
sausage and other delicacies that
should not be indulged In until the
food embargo is lifted.
According to the Lokalanzeiger, the
school children Of the capital are
asked to make the following resolu-
tions:
IF from today, so long as the war
lasts, we Tenounce sausages and meat
for dinner and bind ourselves to take
to school not more than two slices OF
bread. when the class lasts until one
O'Clock. and not more than four slices
when the class last beyond one
O'Clock, this will be quite sufficient
to appease hunger, and meat and
bread supplies will thereby be spar
sd.
The Lokalanzeiger adds that in one
school the boys have been selected to
see that the ,self-denial ordinance is
carried out. Speaking of the cir
sularizing or schools to induce the
children to restrict their consump-
tion of food. the paper declares:
Dear Fatherland, now mayest thou
be tranquil"
ut is stated that the war committee
for consumers has petitioned the i'm
perial chancellor to accelerate the
slaughter of pigs for fear the potato
fodder given the animals may shorten
the national food supply.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.-Cotton
was under pressure throughout to-
days session and the widest decline
In several weeks resulted. The close
was at the lowest, net decline of "a
to 81 points. Selling was inspired
by fear that England would put cot
ton on the contraband list and was
about equally divided between the
two accounts. Spot houses, export
ers. houses which operate for German
spinners and spot merchants, and
spSculators beerishly inclined all
combiSed to bring about q large
volume OF selling orders. At times
the market was soft.
Fear tpat the situation abroad
would materially check the outward
movement of the crop was the domi-
mating influence OF the day. The enor-
nous amount of cotton afloat for

Russians before them, but they were
forced to turn three times to beat
on the flank attacks from the south.
The Russian commander-in-c chief
made desperate efforts to come to the
aid OF this army. He sent in a column
or troops from the fortress of Lomza
and from Kolno and from the fort at
Ossowetz. Each time the German
commander defeated the Russian re-
lief columns and then continued his
march
The retreat OF the, Russians on this
part OF the field of operations could
be made In only one direction, the
northeast, as the swamp belt prevent
ed their escape to the east or south.
The troops from the center and
northern flank of the Russian position
were by this time in full retreat east
ward and southeastward under pres
sure from the pursuing German
forces.
The Russians apparently became
desperately jammed and on February
l6 the German commander was almost
confident that the bag would be COM
plete. Then came the delay in getting
the thanking column across the
swamps and General Sievers, with all
his higher officers and the remnant
or his army, got away.
