UNION PACIFIC WILL PLACE
WATCHMAN AT BUCKEYE

A watchman will be placed at
the Buckeye street crossing of the
Union Pacific railroad, to replace
the electric bell now in use, accord
ing to a telegram received today by
the company's attorneys, Hurd &
Hurd, from R. L. Davis, superinten-
dent of the Kansas division. The
order is effective at once and the
watchman will work from eight in
the morning until eight in the
evening. Nothing was mentioned as
to the gates or bells at the Cedar
and Broadway street crossings and
the company's lawyers here did not
know it's intentions in these matters.
This action comes as a result of
an agitation following several mar
row escapes at these crossings and
the subsequent order to the COM
pany by the city commissioners, call
ing for necessary additional warn
ings at the grade crossings in the
business district.

Lawrence relatives of Miss Myrtle
Shane, the missionary who has been
working in Armenia through all the
misfortunes OF that country during

her through the Congregationalist
board of missions. Miss Shane has
left the dangerous locality of Bit

will not go back to Turkey until
after the war is ended.-Lawrenc

the church school. 1t was well
thought out and stimulated much
interest. He recommended several
teacher training books for use in the
Sunday school work. Several series
of pamphlets were distributed
among the men. Rev. I. B. Kelsey Of

FANCY CATTLE BROUGHT
GOOD PRICES AT ENGLE SALE

Dairymen and raisers of Holstein
cattle from all over the state attend
ed the fancy Holstein cattle sale
held last week by e. S. Engle &
Son at the Red Bud ranch. Twenty
three head were sold at an average
price of $107 apiece. The mixers
brought the most money, 13 head
selling for an average of 1926 a
head. Cattlemen do not expect to
pay less than 1925 for fancy Hol-
stems and Engle & Son more than
attained this standard at their sale.
Springing heifers sold on an aver
age of $1O5 a head while yearling
heifers averaged as high as $3.50
a head.
The Engles conducted the sale in
a systematic and up to date man
ner. Each COW that was marked for
the sale was listed in a catalogue
which they issued. This was mailed
to prospective buyers and was also
given to the buyers at the sale. This
catalogue gave the cows pedigrees
and their milk and butterfat produc-
ing record as worked out in the
Dickinson County Cow Testing asso-
citation. Elmer G. Engle in speaking
of the sale said it was very satisfac-
tory.

CITY FURNISHED BEDS TO IL
TRANSIENTS SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday night eleven men, all
laborers, penniless and suffering
from the cold registered at the city
hotel (jaiD for the night. When
the beds were all filled Chief Engle
told others, who came to him ask
ing for a place to stay, that they
would have to sleep on the floor.
They Immediately replied that they
would be grateful, just as long as
it was warm. They kept the stove
red hot all night and those who
were not so fortunate as to have
beds, spread papers on the cement
floor and spent the night there.
Engle keeps the names of all who
stay over night. Saturday night
there was one from New York, one
from Wisconsin and Minnesota and
several from California. Every east
bound train brings in one or more,
most of them from California and
some from Colorado who have left
because of the lack of work. One
registering Saturday night was
brewery workman from Denver,
whom prohibition left unemployed.
Every night one or more stay In
the city Jail and earn their break
fast by an hours work at the city
hall. Saturday nights registration
was the largest this winter.

RECOVER STOLEN GOODS
Find Loot of Robbers Who Entered
Elmo Store Friday Night
[From Mondays Danyl

Burglars gained entrance to a
store at Elmo Friday evening and
made their getaway with about
5000 worth of merchandise, con-
sisting of silks, shoes, watches and
clothing. The loot was found Sum
day morning by searchers in a
straw stack along the Missouri Pa
cific right-of-way five miles east of
Elmo and a mile west Of Dillon. All
of it was recovered with the excep-
tion OF two watches and some cloth
ing, which the proprietor claims is
missing, after a second invoice The
county officers here were notified
Saturday afternoon and have been
working on the case. 1t is thought
to be the work of an organized gang
which Is working the small country
town stores, as the tactics employed
in each case are similar. 1t is their
game to hide the stolen goods in
some place and after they have es-
capped and things have quieted down
they come and get their loot and
make an easy getaway with it.

THE OLD SONGS AND THE NEW
Stephen Foster and Ragtime Music

The modern ragtime music-so-
called, may be considered but a
temporary alteration. A few years
ago the popular airs were taken
from the light comic operas, or
from the sketchy music of the yau-
deville artist. These have given
way to variations on the plaintive
negro airs of the old south and will
in turn lead to something else that
happens to catch the popular fancy.
But the simple songs of our
fathers-the beautiful music and
the heart-stirring words will again
come into their own. And when they
do the great American balladist,
Stephen Foster, will be recognized
as one, who perhaps more TIN any
other, caught the spirit of his time,
and rendered it into music and
words that were sung by millions of
his country men and women.
Foster was born in Pittsburgh,
PENNSYLVANIA, July 4, 1926, and re-
ceived his education in the public
schools. When only sixteen years of
age he wrote his first song, while
clerking in a little store in Cinein-
natl. It was called "Open the Lat
tice, Love-" and was soon followed
by Uncle Ned"-which at once
caught the popular ear, and was
sung all over the country.
Then came 20, Susanna '-popu-
lar with the minstrel troupes-and
for which he received a hundred dol
lars. His "old Folks at Home" was
published in 1S50-and brought him
five hundred dollars from the then
famous Christy minstrels. For copy
rights of this song he received, first
and last, nearly $4,000.
Among his most popular produc-
tions were "old Black Joe," "old
Kentucky Home" "Old Folks at
Home" and "Come Where My Love
Lies Dreaming" These touching and
beautiful compositions are all to
be found in Heart Song"
wonderful song collection now being
offered by this paper. We believe
this to be one Of the most remark
able presentations ever offered to
our readers. Prices 7Sc and csc.

Resolved, That we, the Western
Retail Implement. Vehicle and

the thousands of farmers served by

protest against the action Of the
Yucatan Fibre Commission in de-
stroying competition in the sale of
sisal fibre, and in advancing the
price without regard to the rela-
ton of supply and demand, and be
it further.
Resolved, That we earnestly re-
quest congress, the department of
justice and the federal trade COM
to take such steps as may
be taken lawfully to prevent the
financing of the sisal monopoly
with United States capital and to
prevent the monopoly from pursu-
ing its plan to collect tribute from
the American farmers, and be 1t
further
Resolved, That we urged upon
the United States government the
of promoting an increase
Of the output of Manila fibre in our
own possession, viz: the Philippine
Islands, and of sisal fibre in the
Islands, to the end that
our farmers may no longer be
to depend upon the Yucca
tan fibre for their supply of binder
twine.

Following the explanation of the
status of the sisal embargo as given
by H. ]. Hodge, secretary of the
Western Retail Implement, Vehicle
and Hardware Association, in his
report at the last annual meeting
held in Kansas City, the resolution
committee submitted the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Whereas, American farmers, under
existing conditions, are forced to
depend upon the sisal fibre output
Of the State of Yucatan, Mexico, for
the bulk of their binder twine sup
ply, and
Whereas, 1t has come to the no.
tice of this association from an au-
thoritative source that fibre COM
mission created by Yucatan law has
obtained a complete monopoly of
the Yucatan fibre industry by MAX
ing it impossible for fibre dealers
to continue in business, and impos-
sible for sisal growers to market
their crops throug any agency other
than the commission, and
Whereas, the commission, having
a complete monopoly of the busi-
ness, is compelling the binder twine
manufacturers of the United States
to pay an excessive price for the
fibre, price not warranted by the
law of supply and demand, thus in
suring an advance in the price of
binder twine that will add millions
of dollars to the cost of grain har-
vesting, and
Whereas, the Yucatan commission
has entered into a contract with
