THE COUNTY
is LIABLE
For Damages Sustained BY
Reason Of Bad Roads
Left Unmarked

Several prominent Reno couu-
ty attorney have expressed the
'opIulon that the county can be
held liable for damages sustain
ed by leaving unsafe conditions
on the public highways unmark-
ed They go further and make
the statement: '1f there is a
mud hole on county highway
that is notOriously bad thafis ala
lowed to remain, and iqs&tich
cars are Liable to become stack
it is certainly the duty of thsI
coanty to mark that hole 10 warn
travellers. If the hole is not
marked by day and a warning
lantern kept as signal at mig hit,
aud motOrtst or any body else
sheuld drive an and become stuck
and have an accident, the coWnt y
would certainly be liable for
damages for neglect. That has
been tested time and again On
the matter of defective streets
and walks inside the city, and
the same rule would apply to the
county highways
If Re1O county was the only
cue in the state having bad roads
the question would be a small
one, but the question of roads,
and more especially the bad
roads, confronts every county
in the state. Meade County can
boast of some excellent high
ways, and also some not so good.
If Meade county was made liable
! for accidents due 10 dangerous
places IN the roads, then il would
be in order TO direct the attention
of the proper authorities TO the
three fills recently put in on the
north road to Fowler. They
are good what there is of them,
but seem to fall a little short as
to width, thereby making passing
at those points especially danger.
GUS when the road is muddy or
slippery. Work on some of the
mudholes between here and
Plains would make travel in that
direction much more pleasant,
to say nothing of the improve
ment little effective work would
make on several other much
used roads.
From now on better roadC will
be demanded all over the state
and we trust that the Road Over
seers of Meade County will see
to it that ours are second to none
in Kansas.

WHEAT SHOW
AT WICHITA
To Be Stupenduous Event
Big Program of Interest
To Every Farmer

and extensive interest to farm
cry everywhere as the Internal
national Wheat show to be held
at Wichita, October Ala.
Including as it does the Kan
sas and Oklahoma prize stock
Show, the Southwest Milling
Industries Exhibit to say moth
ing of other interests, $4,000 in
premiums, and all of the amuse-
ment and entertainment events
such as the 1915 Auto Show,
Balloon Races, Automobile races,
Hippodrome, etc, this exposi-
tion will undoubtedly surpass
anything of similar character
staged anywhere this year.
1t is decidedly up to Kansas
and Northern Oklahoma to make
good as the leading wheat Sec
t1ons of the West, not only In
producing the most bushels OF
the best wheat, but in showing
and displaying it to the world at
large.
The international Wheat Show
is more than an exposition of
what can be done when it comes
TO pulling profits out of the soil.
How" as well as What" are
big features of this great show.
Lectures by men whose names
are famous as authorities on
wheat raising. Discussions and
demonstrations of the best prac-
tical ways and means all will be
offered along with the exhibits
of the actual wheat raised ac-
cording to the Identical methods
described and displayed by
Government experts and the
practical far mers who will show
what they have done and how
they did it, in Wichita IN October.
So, if you are figuring on tog-
ging out the kids IN their Sunday
best and dressing up Mother
and yourself in your best bibs
and fuckers and hiking down to
Wichita just for the sake of hay
ing lot of fun and seeing the
balloons going up and the auto
races, you are IN for grand big
surprise, because when you get
there, you will not only have all
the fun you want, but when it
comes to real practical know
ledge of how to farm better, you
will be astonished at the amount
of information you will bring
home with you after the Expo
sition is over.
Not only you, but your Mother
too, will be pleased with the trip
for the Modern farm household
appliance exhibit will delight the
heart of every woman who sees
it. The exhibit is something
that is decidedly new and differ
ent. 1t hasn't been shown be-
fore to our knowledge, but it
should have been, for what is
more in order right now than.
the improvement OF the condi-
tions surrounding the daily life
of the farmers wife? . ~
The United States Department
of Agriculture and the Kansas
State Agric ultural College both
believe this subject is worthy of
an extra amount of special study
consequently at the Wichita
Wheat Show there will be dis
played two full sized model farm
house kitchens, one built after
the plan of the United States De-
partmeDt of Agriculture and the
other az planned by the Domes-
tic Experts of the Kansas State
Agricultural College.
