9Th, has been received by Meade
friends. Miss Danks is a daugh-
ter of M. 0. Danks, who former

cellent qualities. We are not &C
quainted with the groom, but
nevertheless he is most FORUM
ate in winning Miss Danks for
a helpmate.
DR.. Kelley and wife will be at
home in Los Angeles, California,
after October 1st.
The News extends congratula-
tions and wishes these people a
happy married life.

More Reads

Several weeks ago The News
made mention OF machinery pur-
chased by the county, to be used
in working the roads. We also
made mention of the various
roads the County Commissioners
had laid out to build. Work was
commenced in the third district,
or out of Plains. All roads out
in that vicinity have now been
completed and Mr.. Cordes, Com:
missioner from this district, in
forms us that the machinery has
been moved east and roads out of
Meade are now being worked.
The one south to Englewood is
at the present time being grad
ed. Next will be the south road
out of Meade, then those north
and east. When that is finished,
the machinery will be moved
again, and the Fowler roads
graded.
Good roads are very essential
toward the building up of any
town, and the Commissioners
have been very fair in their road
policy, so that when all are com
pleted, Plains, Meade, and Fow.
ler will each have good roads
leading to them from all direc.
tions.
From time to time, as occasion
demands and good judgment
warrants, more roads will bt
built.

Your Home Town

Estimates based on official
figures, which are backed up by
over-the-state figures of Kansas
Investigators, show that the
people of Kansas are sending out
of the state in a retail way the
enormous sum of 20 million dol
lars year to buy goods which
could be bought in the state, and
which in nearly every instance
could be bought in the purchas-
er's own home town. And here
are some state population figures
which will be of interest in this
connection: In 1912 sixty EIGHT
Kansas counties and 252 Kansas
country towns and villages had
fewer people in them than they
had twelve months before in
1911. The state as a whole lost
seventeen thousand during that
twelve month period, yet the
larger cities of the state in
creased in population. In 1914
seventy-one Kansas counties and
294 Kansas country towns and
villages had fewer people in
them than they had twelve
months before in 1918. The
state as a whole lost thirteen
thousand during that twelve
month period, yet the larger
cities of the state continued to
increase in population. And, the
figures for 1915 showed that in
spite Of the fact that the cities
of Kansas had continued to grow
had continued to increase in
population-we had in 1915 in
the state of Kansas $4,000 less
people than we had in 1909, sew
en- years ago. Out-of-the-state
buying means big business for
the city-it means increased
population; it means increased
prosperity. 1t means more jobs
it means that more country
boys will be Kansas farm own
ers. Out-of-the-state buying
means a slow market at home
less retail trade-fewer local in
dustries-fewer jobs-a slump
I in population-decreased prop
erty values. 1t means a lack of
community interest, a loss of
community spirit. 1t means dead
towns in the state of Kansas.
Kansas men and Kansas women
who love their state should urge
their friends to stick by Kansas
institutions.

merly a resident of Meade coun-
ty, and for the past two years

National Pay Up Week

VIC away cAJJ ALAOAiSy AAcShSo
the wheels go round" and we
usually think it takes a great
deal of money, tremendous sums
of it, to make these wheels go,
but when you stop to think about
it, a very small amount does a
great deal of work. Just think
for a moment. A small coin put
into circulation will wipe out
many depts and perchance be
turned in to the man who first
set it going. This is the idea
back OF National Pay-Up Week.
For example, we will say that
Mr.. "A, who is a merchant, owes
Mr.. B, a garage man, $500. B
in turn owes Mr.. G, the butcher,
$500. Mr.. C, owes Mr.. D, a
farmer, $500 for a load of feed,
and Mr.. D, the farmer, owes Mr..
A $500 for groceries. A pays
his bill to B, who passes it on to
C, who in turn gives it to D, and
D returns it to A. Four accounts
are paid with the same $500 and
it returns to A for use in pay
ment of his account to the
wholesale house which in turn
pays it's help and it's places of
supply, and so it goes. Any of
the four men can start the ball
rolling: The only thing necessary
is for some one of them to pay
his account to date and put the
money in circulation. This, with
an honest desire on the part of
everyone to pay his debts, helps
the entire community. The OBJ
ject of National Pay-Up Week is
to wipe out all the accounts pos
sible in this community. Every
body is in it and everyone will be
helped. Every time a debt is
paid, load is lifted. Let's un-
load during National Pay-Up
Week. Let's start the lazy dol
lar going. Men of every calling.
in life all over the United States,
farmers, doctors, lawyers, mer-
chants, bankers, working men,
are attracted by the possibilities
of National Pay-Up Week be-
cause it is not a bad debt collec-
ton device but a plan which re-
suits in the payment of good
debts. Do you know which dol
lar it is that makes the most
trouble for business? 1t is the
dollar that is as good as "old
wheat in the mill" but which
does not move on when it is most
needed. 1t is the debts people
owe that they could easily pay
but simply neglect to pay that
cause the trouble. 1t is not the
deadbeat account that worries
you or any other man.
When National Pay-Up Week
publicity gets into action it TO-
cuses the attention of careless
folks on the subject OF communl-
ty payment and gets them to re-
alize that those few dollars that
they owe to local people have an
enormous number of idle broth
ers, sisters, uncles, atnts, nieces,
nephews, cousins, and other near
kin which might be doing a lot
of good in business circles but
are loafing around and not doing
the community any good by cir
culating.
It is the circulating dollars,
the busy, rolling dollars, that
make the life-blood of local bust
ness. That same rolling dollar
may pass in one day through fif-
teen or twenty different hands
and pay off SIS to $40 in small
debts. The problem is just to
get it rolling.
Let's not forget this during
the week of October 2-7, the
time designated by our Mayor as

FIREWORKS DISPLAY AT EAST LAKE PARK
Plan Great Night for Next Thursday. Daylight Fireworks July 4
 Planned

Next Thursday night a fireworks dis play will be offered as the attraction at East Lake. This display will rival any presented at the park this season, as it was intended for last Thursday night and was postponed on account cf bad weather. That programme will be used tomorrow night. but greatly elaborated upon.
 the entire season will be the three dif- ferent varieties of fireworks displays to be presented in conjunction with the rest of the features on the programme planned for the Fourth of July. Ex- tensive plans have been made, and Manager Breinig says it is his intention
 to make this the biggest and best
 Fourth of July celebration ever held
 at East Lake park. There will be an afternoon fireworks display of daylight
 fireworks. a marine display and the grand finale of the days celebration with the night fireworks. The day light fireworks are a distinctive brand of fireworks and are original and novel in beauty and their newness. Next Saturday night the spot dance. which was feature in the dancing pa vilion last Saturday. will again be the attraction. The dance is a prize af- fair and every 15 minutes during the evening a prize Is awarded to some dancer.

duction of testimony immediately. The witnesses were the same as those called at the preliminary hearings, and a lew new points were brought out during the early proceedings Witnesses gave accounts of the movements of Sir Rog- CT and his companions. Capt. Robert Monteith and Daniel J. Bailey, from the time of their landing on the morning of Good Friday in a boat from the Ger man submarine near Tralee until the arrest of Sir Roger.
 The prosecution rested suddenly. shortly after the luncheon recess, and the attorney general announced ne nad no statement to make. -s S- s
 MT. Sullivan immediately began an address in an attempt to have the in- dictment quashed. His argument was an effort to show that the alleged reasonable acts were committed out side British realms and could not be tried in Great Britain.
 As MT. Sullivan proceeded with his address. it became increasingly evident that the defense attached the greatest importance to the finding of a faulty indictment, inasmuch as it charged Sir Roger committed treason by adher- ing to the Kings enemies and confining himself else than in the Kings realm.
 For two hours MT. Sullivan argued the matter from every angle, citing nu- merous cases. some of which were very ancient. which he declared tended tc show no man could be tried for treason committed outside the Kings realm.
 At many points the three justices en- tered into dissertations on the ques tions raised. When the court adjourned MT. Sullivan had not completed his arg. ument.

It is stated that the principal Montenegrin tribe has been fined heavily.

RESTS IN BASEMENT TRIAL No Change in Apathetic At titude of the Public.
 Defense Opens

London, June 27.-The second day or the trial of Sir Roger Easement Tor high treason opened with no change in the apathetic attitude with which the general public regards the case.
 The principal reason offered for this lack of interest is that the attention or the country is focused upon the con- tinent, where some possibility may prove the decisive phase of the great war now at crucial stage on both the eastern and western fronts.
 The atmosphere of the courtroom IS not that of a trial for life, and the chief justice was compelled yesterday to insist that there must be no laugh ter in court. The laughter was evoked by the rich brogue and smart repartee of the Irish soldier witness
 The attitude of Easement himself is far from being one of gravity. He ap- pears abstrused and even yawns ire uuently With folded arms, or head resting on his hand, he usually has the air of being bored except when he chats with three policemen who sit around him in the iron barred dock
 The prisoner appeared cheerful as he entered the dock
 The prosecution resumed the intro
