Wayman Ward near Donnelly. Ida,

general hospital at Weiser on Tuesday
morning, following an operation for
intestinal trouble. His body was TAX
en- in charge by his brother and prob
ably will be shipped to his former

cided upon.

having been obtained. After a long
and bitterly contested trial the jury
found him not guilty. Later the com.
plant against him for the shooting Of

identical

Yield is Good

Most of the Meade county
farmers are rejoicing over the
fact that harvest is again over.
that in spite of dry weather, in
in the early part of the season,
and later, hail, they have again
been favored with a bountiful
crop. Some have already COM
menced threshiug, and both the
yield and the quality are good,
while others have not yet finish
ed cutting.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-07-13

Conditions are never so bad
but what they could be worse,
for instance: some of us think
we would like a good rain, while
those who are cutting their all
falfa might lose their entire crop
should such a thing happen. So
since the wheat is about all cut
and the feed crops not psrticu-
larlY suffering, perhaps it is
best that the rain doesn't come
at this time-but it's powerful

Wednesday afternoon

Wednesday afternoon and
evening, if clouds, blow, and
bluster had been any indication,
one might easily have supposed
that good soaking rain was on
the way, and perhaps it was, but
the Weather man, assisted by
the wind, sent it elsewhere, and
about all we got was enough to
settle the dust.

Fodder for Machine Guns"

The following editorial in the
Washington Post of June 80, ON
Fodder for Machine GunS,"
has struck a responsive chord
throughout the country:
'If the honor of the United
States can be maintained by
peaceful methods, who shall say
that the Nation should 60 to
war?
Those who want war must be
willing themselves to sacrifice
their lives'npon the altar of al.
tionAl devotion.
None but poltroon and COW.
ard would fail to make the sacrl-
fee if the honor of the country
we're at steak, but only those
who are in possession of all the
facts in the Mexican situation
can decide what the nation de.
mands.
What man in public life, what
Official or orator in the market
places, can say that he. is more
jealous of the national honor
than are the people themselves?
The honor of the Nation is safe
in the hands of the American
people.
What are the people saying2
What are they thinking as they
walk through the streets? What
are they saying about their own
supper table after they have re-
turned from their daily work?
In one of his speeches President
Wilson SAID:
Il would a great deal rather
know what The men on the trains
and by the wayside and in the
shops and on the farms are
thinking about and yearning for
than hear any of the vociferous
procla nations of policy, which it
l
is so easy to read by picking up
any scraps of printed paper"
Those who are expected to
sacrifice their lives upon the
battlefield, the fathers and moth
ers why yield their sons and who
yield them willingly when the
honor of the Nation is at stake,
should have something to say
about the question of war.
Two million of the men of
Europe lie in their graves as
result of the mad war that is
still in progress and yet the bon
or of the nations INVOLVED has
not yet been satisfied.
At Verdun 800, 900 of the fin.
est men of France, Germany,
and England lie dead. The toll
demanded by European states
mansbip steadily is mounting,
and the end is not yet in sight.
OF the 100000 men who were
in the Civil War on the Northern
side, more than 100000 we're
below the age Of 81 years.
1t is not the corporations, the
landowners, or the captains of
industry who have the vital in.
terest in the question of war or
peace. 1t is not the politicians
or orators, the organizations of
public preparationists or public
pacifists that have the most at
stake. 1t is the average citizen
the citizen who earns his bread
by the sweat Of his brow, the cit
izen who loves his family and
wants to continue giving that
family his support and protec-I
ton who has the most at stake" >"

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. 26.-Three hun

R. T. Woods, president, warn the
courts Of the United States not to in

He said the foundation of the Unit

shaken if the eight-hour law is de-
clared unconstitutional.
His report contained an appeal to
labor unions to fight for a constitu-
tional amendment and a law that will
provide a satisfactory workmens COM
pensation clause, eliminating three
principal defenses for employers in
settling claims for personal injuries

TO LENGTHEN THE
LIFE OF THE BINDER

tE FAE.-s s aEE
A binder left in the field from one
season to another will last at. best
three or four years, whereas, with
proper care a binder could do good
work for ten, fifteen, or even twenty
years. The same kind Of thing may
be said of almost all farm implc-
ments. -
Before long, winter will be here,
levying it's tax upon farm implements
left in the open. This is the time,
therefore, to make plans for housing
farm machinery.
The saving in the value Of machin-
cry in one year will almost pay for
the cost Of good machine shed.
