CARD OF THANKS.

We wish to tender our heartfelt
thanks for the many acts of kind
ness of friends and neighbors dur
ing the illness and death of our
beloved son George, and especially
to the teacher and pupils Of the
fifth and sixth grades at school and
other personal friends for the
splendid floral offerings. They
were restful to- the eye, pleasing to
the mind, and their fragrance ever
filled the room with that cheerful
ness that alleviates suffering, and
we beg to assure each and all that
their kindness shall never be for
gotten.

Thursday, October 9th, was
Live Stock day at the Information
al Farm Congress, Denver, and
prominent stockmen discussed
the problems to be solved by the
industry in the West and told Of
the advancement made in live
stock raising during the past few
years.
1t was the consensus of opinion
among the speakers that the basis
Of successful farming is and must
forever continue to be livestock.
No matter how small the farm or
how deficient the rainfall, the
silo will conserve the feed raised
and make possible the feeding of
dairy cows and these in turn will
furnish much Of the feed for
hogs. The west has been for a
number of years undergoing a
decided change in the livestock
business.
Instead of the big stockman
with his thousands of cattle and
sheep, the industry is now in the
hands largely of the smaller man
with his few hundred head of
stock Of better quality, and in the
end more livestock will be raised
and more pounds of beef, pork
and mutton will be the result.
The secret of success in the
whole system, the farm congress
men tell us, is to be obtained in a
two-fold process:
First-Do not try to raise
crops for direct sale. Mar
ket them indirectly by feed
ing the crops to livestock cattle,
sheep. hogs and poultry.
SECOND KEEP DAIRY COWS.
E. M. Ammons, former gov
ernor of Colorado; w. R. Mother
we'll, minister Of agriculture,
Saskatchewan. Canada; w. A.
Cochei, Kansas Agricultural col
lege; O. E. Reed, Kansas Agri-
cultural college; Congressman
F. w. Mondell, Of Wyoming; j.
E. Dorman, of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, and dozen
others got up in succession at the
session in the First Baptist church
to proclaim these doctrines of
Western farming.
The hope and symbol of sue
cess to the man who tills non-ir-
rigated land," said Mr.. Mondell,
''is the beef steer and the dairy
COW. Drought, hail, frosts and
short seasons cannot affect him,
if he has cattle to feed with his
crops, be they mature or imma-
ture. He is failure proof. -
w. G. Edwards. of Wichita.
Kansas, presiding at the meeting
as first vice president Of the con-
gress, was moved to an extern
poraneous address on the subject,
There are hundreds of ways
of using crops to feed cattle,' he
said, which turn them to better
profit than marketing them d.
rectly under even the best of con-
ditions could possibly do. Even
without a silo, by stacking sor-
ghum, feterita, kaffir or milo be-
tween sandwiches of straw, we
in Kansas have found an i'm
mensely profitable way of pre-
serving all of our fodder crops
for winter feeding

She will condense tons of it into

and turn into profit much that
would otherwise go to waste. 1t
has been conceded by students of
agriculture that the rearing of
livestock is necessary for per-
manent and enduring agriculture,
even in lands where rainfall is
sufficient. Here in our dry states
it is needed even more for the
purpose of conserving moisture
as well as fertility.
The sage brush country is be-
ing conquered, and homes are
being built. And where the
homes are there also is the dairy
COW, for she is the home builder,
home maker and the exponent of
permanent agriculture.
The pioneer farmer has found
that the dairy COW furnishes him
a living income while he is devel-
oping his land. She has been the
means of many families remain
ing on their homesteads and has
been of great assistance in the
development of the farming COM
munities.
The enormous crops of forage
that can be grown here and cured
to perfection would be far less
valuable if it were necessary to
transport them to a distant mar
ket in their bulky form. The
dairy cow is converting them into
butter, cheese and condensed
milk, products that can be ship
ped to any part of the world.
Five years ago the East and Mid
die West were shipping vast
quantities of dairy products into
this section. Today there are
still some shipments. but as
whole, according to the reports
of state officials, the dry states
are producing enough dairy pro-
ducts for local consumption and
some for export, and the indus
try is only started"

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BYN. D. COCHRAN
Telephone Stock.-I have the fol-
lowing letter from an employee of the
Chicago Telephone Co. asking for my
opinion:
Editor Day Book write this on
request of a number of telephone
girls who will scan The Day Book
for your opinion. The Telephone Co.
have a new deal on. The proposition
is to have the operators become
stockholders, the employees to pur-
chase shares at $11O per share,
$3.50 per month to be withheld from
employees pay; interest at 4 per cent
to be charged on unpaid balance;
stock will be fully paid for by No
vember, 1918.
Should any employee wish to with
draw from his agreement, l under
stand it is optional with the trustees
to pay back what has been paid in.
Sometime ago the company had
so-caIled benefit fund plan in opera
ton. Dues held back from the girls
pay. All at once the scheme failed
and some of the girls got few
dimes returned. This stock business
may turn out the same way, for if
nothing happens the stock will be
fully paid for by November, 1915

know nothing of this proposition

assume, however, that when a re-
sponsible concern like the Chicago
Telephone Co. makes a stock prOpo-
sition to it's employees it means to play
fair. There should be an agreement
providing that if any employee who
buys stock on the instalment plan
resigns, is discharged or wants to
cancel the stock deal, the company
will on demand pay back with inter

cess of dividends. over interest. Many
corporations that sell stock to en-
ployes adopt this plan and enable en-
plOyes to pay for their stock in that
way. If these provisions are in the
contract between the company and
the employees, and the price Of $11O
per share is a fair price, the deal, with
4 per cent on unpaid balances, is
fair one. It is not fair if the COM
pany reserves the right to pay or
not pay back what has been paid in
if the employee for one reason or an
other wishes to withdraw from the
contract.
When corporations sell stock to
employees the object is to get en-
ployes interested in the profits of the
business and take a keener interest
than ordinarily would be expected
where the only compensation for
work was wages. 1t is considered
a good investment by wise business
men. Another purpose is to prevent
employees from joining unions, COM
planning, demanding increased wages
or going on strike. 1t is considered
insurance for peace by some con-
Germs. To be fair the company
should make any deal like that volun-
tary on the part of employees, because
there are some who can't afford to
invest $3.50 per week of their wages
in stock, however much they might
like to have the stock.
I could answer the question better
if knew what the terms of the con-
tract are. If it is a fair contract
probably some official of the Chicago
Telephone Co. will give me the nee
essary information. - Editor Day

To the Voters of LeHore County.

To the Voters OF Lefiore County:
Some months ago + announced my
candidacy for the Office of Sheriff.
Since that time ! have deliberately re.
Trained from making a~personal canvass
of the county for two reasons
First, because ! am firmly convinced
that long campaigns, especially for
county offices, can accomplish no good
purpose; and
Second, because of the extreme an
noyance and expense to the people of
such a campaign, in consuming time
and taking their attention from their
business.
Commencing with this date, | will
make a vigorous anVas of the coun-
ty, devoting my entire time to tie
same. and will endeavor to see and pre-
sent my claims personally to every vo-
ter of the county.
As you are all aware, the office of
Sheriff and Tax Collector Of this county
is one of the most lucrative offices in
the State, and it appears to me that
the Sheriff should bend every energy
and exert every effort to add to the
comfort and convenience of the people,
as well as to relieve them from every
possible annoyance and expense. The
Tax-Assessor is required by law to
"call upon each person liable to taxa
ton = either in person or by leav-
ing a notice at his usual place of resi-
dence," for a list of his taxable prop
erty. The Registrar is required ito
visit and spend one entire day at each
election precinct in his county for the
purpose of registering voters. after
having given notice by publication for
three consecutive weeks of the times
and places of such visits" The law
does not require it, but if | am elected
Sheriff, l will publish in the papers of
the county at my expense the names of
every precinct in the county and the
dates when | will visit each for the
purpose of collecting taxes, thereby
relieving the taxpayers of the incon-
venience of coming to the Sheriff's
office.

CARD FROM Mr.. C. G. NICHOLS
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF,

If elected Sheriff. l will use ever,
effort to collect all privilege taxes *
as to eliminate as far as possible thu
payment by any person Of double
taxes, which under the law they are .,
often required to pay by reason Of their
oversight or forgetfulness.
In other words, ! will do everything
in my power to assist the people in the
cutting down Of their expenses. and
will not be confined in my efforts to
mere technical compliance with the
duties which the law imposes on the
Sheriff.
/ believe that the fee system now in
vogue in this State is pernicious, and
that the same should be abolished in
every department of government.
Nevertheless, the Sheriffs of this State
under the law are compensated by way
of fees, and since these fees are to be
paid, ! am as anxious to receive them
as any other man, but l will abolish as
far as it is possible under the law to do
it, the fee system in all its connections
with the Sheriff's office. Every per-
son, including the deputy sheriffs and
%jailer, will be paid a fair and reason
able salary, and only good and compe-
tent men will be employed. | will give
the same attention to the selection Of
these persons that | would to the en-
p%loyment of men in the personal af-
fairs of life, and will expect of them
and demand at their hands fair and
honorable services to the people. l will
not allow my deputies to engage in
some other business primarily, and use
their Offices as a side-line, but will re-
quire of them that they give their
time and attention to the duties de-
volving on them as conservators of the
peace of this county.
As an evidence of my sincerity, l
here and now to the candi-
dates for the Legislature from this
county that l favor a law which will
put every officer of the State on a sal
airy basis. Respectfully,
C. G. NICHOLS.
