From time to time it becomes
our duty to record the passing
froT our midst of those who
caGe 10 Meade when it was yet
in rs infancy-tbe old timers
This week we note the de-
Nparture of one who may right
fully be called a pioneer, oee
among Meade's first residents,
Mrs. Mary J. Rosenberg.
UP until couple of years ago,
the deceased was unusually act
i've fer one of her years, and was
ever alert to the things of life,
'but,e~er sincc the death of her
son, Elmer, she seemed to have
lost all interest and her health
has gradually failed. Several
days ago she suffered an attack
OF asthma, d disease from which
she has suffered for years; on
Christians eve, at few minutes
after eleven her duties. upon
earth were ended, and the soul
of one whose first thoughts thru
out her whole life had been of
'her family. departed.
Mary Jane 'Wetzel was bora in
West Virginia, near Wheeling,
October Is, 1889. She was mar
ried to Robert A. Ro enberry,
at Point Pleasant, Virginia, in
1865. Five children we're born
to this union The family came
to Kansas IN the fall 1884, and
located near Anthony. The
next year they came to Meade
county. where they have since
resided.
Mrs. Rosenberg is survived
by one son, A. O. Rosenberg,
of this city. one daughter, Mrs.
Dan Sather, of Epratba, Wash
ington, three grandchildren,
and four great-grand children,
and one sister, who lives some
where in Indiana.
Funeral services we're hel 4 at
the residence Tuesday afternoon
Decem Der 20, conducted by Rev.
S. M. Hunt, pastor of the M. E
Church, of which deceased was
a member.
Interment was made in Grace
land Cemetery.

We dislike to find fault, but
judging from the number who
were on the scene to return the
hose cart and ladder wagons to
their proper place, when the fire
was over, last Friday, it does
seem that Meade needs a revival
in the way of a larger fire de-
partment. There are always
those who are ready to run when
the fire alarm is sounded, but
when the water is turned on and
the actual work begins, the num-
ber diminishes, and too many on
lockers, and not enough helpers
are to be seen. AS in the case
Friday, when the fire was out
and the danger over, two men
we're left to return the fire fight
ing apparatus to the hose house.
We have heard it stated that
some Of the members of the Vol
unteer Fire Department have
resigned their positions by rea-
son of the fact that they we're
required to pay poll tax. This
may or may not be true, but it
would seem that when a man
volunteers his services when the
homes and business places of our
people are in danger from fire,
he should be exempt from any
obligation in the way of poll tax,
at least. Meade has one of the
best water systems along the
Rock Island, and some of the
most willing fire fighters to be
found anywhere, but we need a
little better organization, with
fewer leaners, and more lifters.

More Than Million Cows

That the Kansas farmers are
coming to a better appreciation
of the milk COW is indicated by
the increased number of dairy
animals in the state, as reported
to the state board of agriculture
by assessors.
The enumeration this year,
which has just been compiled,
shows that Kansas has for the
first time more than one million
milk cows. The exact number is
LOT, ,067, a gain of 115,786 over
the count of 1915. Since 1910
the increase is 435, ,497, or 67 per
cent. Butler leads all other coun-
ties with 1923, followed by
Barber, Dickinson and Reno with
more than $4,000 head each.
Commenting on this showing
j. G. Mohler, secretary of the
board, said:
1hio 10 q HlOoO CilCOul oSAlAS
sign. 1t means more farmers
are engaging in this high type
of husbandry. Dairying is one
of the marks of enlightened pro.
gressive and prosperous agricuI
ture. The dairy method of farm
ing more nearly eliminates
chance as a factor in the farm,
er's income. The dairyman is &
soil builder, rather than a sol
robber, He is conducting a farm
factory, converting the raw ma
tefials of his farm into finished
products, without seriously de-
pleting its resouces.

The school teachers of west
ern Kansas may be able to at
tend the State Association meet
ings after this year without be
ing forced to travel clear across
the state. Heretofore all meet
ings have been held IN Topeka.
NowIt has been found that none
of the teachers are getting the
fun benefit from the meetings.
The crowd is too large for an
educational meeting. A COM
mittee composed of w. s. Heus-
mer, Salina; M. E. Moore, Leav-
enworth, and c. S. Risdun,, indie
pendence, has been appointed by
the executive board to divide the
state, and select locations for
holding two or three sectional
meetings. There are over 2500
teachers in the Seventh Congress
sional district who will be inter
ested in having one of these sec
tional meetings held in Western
Kansas.

Post Card Shower

We have. beenrequested to ask
the friends of Isaac Covalt to re-
member him, by sending postal
card on New Years day. His
friends have arranged for post
card shower upon that date, and
are taking this means of letting
everyone know of it. AS our
readers all know, he has Nbeen
confined to his home for the past
several months, and a little re-
membrance from his many
friends in Meade will most sure
ly cheer him up.

Friday morning about ten
o'clock fire was discovered in the
rear of the tailor shop on Garth
age avenue. The fire department
! at once responded, land the
flames we're soon under control.
1t seems that a quantity of gas
oline left near the stove was re-
.sponsible. There Was little wind,
and the building, located as it is
between two brick buildings,
perhaps saved a more serious
fire.
