ARE MADE HAPPY
One Thousand Dresses Ex-
cellent Qualify Distributed
by Noted Philanthrophist in
Memphis Recently

Never before, perhaps, IN the
way of public charity created such
widespread interest as was mani
tested recently when the one
thousand 1000 dresses, donated
to charity through the generosity
of Mr.. L. T. Cooper, were dis
tributed at 206 South Main Street
to the Chisca Hotel Building.
Ladies prominent in Memphis
social life, leading relief workers,
heads of local charitable institu-
tons and many prominent citi-
zens were on hand early in the
afternoon to assist and cooperate
with Mr.. Cooper's representatives
in this worthy cause.
Not only were the poor women,
girls anil orphans of the various
institutions remembered, as had
been previously planned, but
several hundred other poor and
needy women and girls from all
parts of the city came to seek Mr..
Cooper's bounty, and none were
denied.
Long before the appointed
hour . large number were on hand
waiting for the doors to open,
and formed line of which extend
ed for more than half q block.
The charitable institutions re-
presented included the following:
Home for Incurables, Porter
Home and Leath Orphan Asylum
ST. Peters Orphanage, Wesley

In referring to the occasion.
Mr.. G. F. Willis, Mr.. Cooper's
Southern renresenlaliye. said:
MY only regret is that Mr..
Cooper could not have been pre-
sent to witness this scene. He
was once a poor man himself and
is never happier than when help
ing others"
When asked whether Mr..
Cooper would make any further
contributions, Mr.. Willis said:
Mr.. Cooper is one of the most
magnanimous of men and will,
am sure, do something more to
show his sympathy for the poor
and unfortunate in your city; in
fact, | shall make a special request
of him on his arrival here to do
so, as | had not myself ,ully real
lied until this afternoon the great
opportunity for this work in this
city.
"As l have stated BEFORE" be
continued, Mr.. Cooper is a firm
believer in practical philanthropy,
and it has always been his policy
to give large part of his income
each year to relief work and to
place his charities where they will
do the greatest good to the greatest
numbers"

Enormous Cost of Bad Roads

There is no need of discussing
the Importance Of good roads.
They are essential to comfort
able travel, to the economic pro-
duction and distribution of farm
products, to the development es-
pecially of satisfactory rural
schools, and to the improvement
of the social life of the nation.
Bad roads are very expensive
possessions. 1t is estimated that
it costs % cents under existing
conditions to haul a ton 2 mile on
the average country road and
only Is cents on a properly i'm
proved road, but this is not all
the story. The direct cost is
very great and the indirect costs
are possibly even greater. With
bad roads the farmer is COM
PEELED to haul when he should be

MEADE CO. BEGINS EARLY
With 1000 Population 1t Can
Take Care of Seven Times
Present Population,
Boosters Say.

At least one Kansas county
will not wait for the establish
ment of an immigration bureau
by the state. Meade county has
already begun to boost for a
greater population.
The returns of the county as
SCISSOR gave Meade a total popu-
lation of less than 1000. Seven
thousand people would approx
mate 1,400 families for the en-
tire county. Two hundred and
forty of those families live in
Meade, the county seat, and per-
haps 100 more families are in
other towns. This leaves little
more than 1000 families on the
farms of the whole county.
Now if there is anything that
Meade county people are proud
Of it is that the soil is fertile and
responds to cultivation with
abundant yields. They believe
that at least seven times as
many people as now live there
could obtain a living and have
enough left over to buy an auto
or take an annual trip to the
mountains.
So they have begun advertis-
ing for more settlers. Ample OPP
portunities for making success
are elaborated upon in the Meade
County News, the official paper.
R. M. Painter, president of the
Meade County Fair Association,
department commander of the
Kansas G. A. R., president of the
Southwestern Veterans Asso-
citation, is one of the original
boosters.
In addition to urging the farm
ers to bring displays of farm
produce to the fair, he also asks
them to sound the praises of
Meade county in letters to the
old folks at home. Mr.. Painter
has made nearly a hundred
speeches in Kansas this summer,
and he asserts that not one of
his audiences has failed to hear
some good word for Meade coun-
ty. He says that by increasing
the population one-third, the
value OF the land will almost
double. Land that is selling for
SIS and ,$25 an acre now will be
worth $35 to $40, with one-third
more people in the county. There
are $3.50 quarter sections of
land in the county, and each
quarter is capable of producing a
living for one family, he says
Topeka Capital.

If the present plans of the city
council materialize, Cimarron
will be the first town in the state
of Kansas to have the latest in
auto parking laws. A model or
dinance has been drafted by the
secretary of the Kansas Munich
patty League, of which Cimar-
ron is a member.
According to this ordinance,
autos must be parked in the mid
die of the street, at right angles
to the side walk. If driven up to
the curb, autos may only be left
long enough to load or unload,
with a limit of twenty minutes.
There will be a fine attached of
not to exceed $4,000 for the vio-
lation of the ordinance. At the
present, business men complain

Some Wheat Stolen

Some person or persons loaded
up two wagons with wheat from
a wheat pile belonging to T. w.
Wilson, last Thursday and drove
off with them. Who they were
or where they sold the wheat
still remains a mystery. The
bloodhounds were brought from
Pratt in hopes that they could
pick up a clew, but owing to the
fact that the remaining wheat
had been moved and several 9th
er people had walked over the
ground the dogs were unable to
get a trail.
With wheat selling around the
$1.4O mark the wheat piled on
the ground, often some distance
from house, it is a great temp
tation to a person a little in
clined to be dishonest.-Mullin-
