CUTHBERT
STARTS HIS
CAMPAIGN
Local Attorney, Who is Out for Con-
gress, Gave Fine Talk.

Fredric T. Cuthbert, who is a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for congress from this district,
opened his campaign with speech at
the local court house Monday evening.
Proceeding the meeting the local band
furnished several fine selections on
the street, and also at the hall. When
the time came for Mr.. Cuthbert to
take the platform the court house was
crowded, and for nearly two hours he
held the closest attention of his audi
ence. He was introduced by Attorney
Rollo F. Hunt, who made few we'll
directed remarks.
Mr.. Cuthbert took up each plank in
the platform which he has adopted,
and upon which he will run, and in
Ia clear and concise manner told
his hearers just what they couold de-
pend upon if he was sent to Congress.
His speech was one of sound logic
and his listeners pronounced it one of
the ablest talks what has been given
in our city for some time. Tuesday
Mr.. Cuthbert left for Lakota, where
he was to deliver an address Tuesday
evening. e%.i

iiI00 iIl|0 MANY
CANDIDATES

Up to the present time there are
four candidates contending for the Re-
publican nomination for governor, or
at least four who claim the right to
ask for support of the Republican tick
ct. Col. J. H. Frame, who is our
present Lieutenant governor. U. L.
Burdick, who was a candidate two
years ago, G. (Plaza) Smith, who was
ws a Non-Partisan candidte, until the
League disowned him, and Lynn Fra
zier, who is the Non-P Partisan candid
ate, and who will file as Republican.
In reality, there are only two Republi-
can candidates, Frame and Burdick,
and it is rumored that an effort is be-
ing made to have one of them retire
from the race, in order that the
strength of the Republicans of :, t,s
state may be eentered on one candid
ate' 1t looks as though this would
- - plausible proposition, II
1o''!s these gentlemen remain in the
race then viii split the vote Of the
Republican party, and possibly allow
the other fellow, who files as Re
publican but who in fact IL af1ythfna
out Republican, to pass under Tho
wore in the lead, and once tiominated
would probably be elected. MANY
things that it would be a wise move
for Mr.. Frame or Mr.. Burdick to get
out of the race and unite in giving
the other the support that should be
given. Up to the present time moth
ing has been done, and what will be
done we are not prepared to state, but
there is a possibility that after the
primaries they will find that they a
both defeated.

NURSES ARE
GRADUATE
Local Nurses School Makes Nice
Showing.

The graduating exercises for nurses
of the General Hospital took place at
the church of the Advent Friday even
ing. There was a large attendance
and Rev. F. H. Oehler delivered a
very fine sermon. After the exercises
at the church the guests gathered at
the hospital, where splendid prog
ram was rendered. Addresses were
made by Rev. Torbet and DIR. Pep
pard, and fine musical program was
rendered. After this there was a re-
ception in the parlors of the nurses
home and here the diplomas were pre-.
sented by DR.. W. F. Sihler and Miss
Clark, who is superintendent of the
hospital. The parlors were beautiful
ly decorated with flowers and after
the reception dainty refreshments
were served by the reception commit
tee. The nurses who graduated and
received their diplomas were: Misses
Ida Lennis, Esther Lockton and Marie
Nelson. The manner in which the
Whole affair was conducted reflects
much credit on Superintendent Clark
and those connected with this fine in
stitution.

YoUMANs SCORED BY JUDGE.

The $20C,cW damage suit which
Grant S. Youmans started against the
state banking board came to a sudden
termination at Minot last week, when
Judge Kneeshaw sustained the motion
of the defendants for a directed ver-
dict. In addressing the jury Judge
Kneeshaw delivered a scathing ar
raignment of Youmans and his asso-
ciates for the manner in which they
had conducted the affairs Of the bank.
which was closed by order Of the
state examiner He charged the plain
tiff with fraud in securing mortgages
signed by dummies" and then put
into the bank as part of the assets.
And thus the great case which some of
the anti-Hanna papers were making
such fuss about has fallen flat. Now
we wonder if those papers will even
open their pepper" about the results.

will be a gathering which will bring
many people to our city, and already
ample preparations are being made
for their entertainment.

FOOT-AND-MOUTH OVER
LONG FIGHT AGAINST STOCK
PLAGUE ENDED BY REMOVAL,
OF ALL FEDERAL QUARAN-
TINE RESTRICTIONS.

! The long fight against the foot-and
mouth disease is over. The Secretary
of Agriculture has issued an order
Which on March 81 removed all foot
and mouth quarantines and restric-
tions against the shipment and move
ment of live stock. The order signed
specifically removes the quarantine
from small territory in Christian
County, ILL.,, the last area which was
under suspicion. Along with the re-
moval of this local quarantine, the var
ious Federal orders restricting ship
ment OF cattle are recinded, SO that
dealers can now ship their cattle as
before the first quarantine was impos-
ed. -u
Upon notification that the United
States is free from the disease, all for
elgn governments which have placed
embargoes on American cattle are ex-
pected to remove these embargoes, so
that cattle raisers will then be able to
resume shipments to these foreign
countries. -.
The magnitude of the work of erad-
ication and control carried on by farm
ers, shippers, and the state and Fed
eral Government is shown by the fact
that before controlled the disease had
gained a temporary footing in %
states and the district of Columbia.
The disease appeared and was con-
trolled in 269 different counties.
The Importance to the stock-raising
industry of eradicating foot and
mouth disease may be judged from the
results of this plague in Denmark,
where the disease appeared at about
the same time that it broke out in the
United States. The area of Denmark
is approximately equal to that of the
three New England States, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land. 1t is, however, a great dairy
ing country, and it has been estimated
that the losses in milk in one year
caused by the foot and mouth disease
have amounted to approximately one
third of the total cost of eradicating
the pestilence in % States of this
country. The Danish authorities were
unable to carry out their former poi
icy of slaughter, and We're compelled
to resort to such measures of control
as could be established by quarantine
and other restrictions.
AS a result of better understanding
between the State and National Gov
ernments, representative of the de-
partment believe that many obstacles
which confronted the authorities in
the past outbreak would not be en-
countered in dealing with any future
occurrence of the disease. The veter-
inarians, however, will not abate their
watchfulness for some time. Exam
ination of animals and animal pro-
ducts offered for import will continue
to be unusually strict.

COSTS FORTY CENTS TO DE- 40,
LIVER A BUSHEL ta,ss'''
OF WHEAT IN FRI q.

Farm and Fireside tells US that out
of the war has come inevitably a strik-
ing change in the relation Of American
business to ocean shipping. "Instead
of getting our wheat hauled across the
North Atlantic as ballast, it has re-
Gently been calculated that it costs
from IS to 40 cents to deliver bushel
of American wheat in France. The
Frenchman is paying the cost, and it
is so high that he is grumbling about
it, and has, like the Britisher, taken
steps for better and closer government
control of his ships"

STRENGTH IN
COOPERATION

The value of cooperation has long
been known. Aesop made it the sub
ject Of one Of his fables, which runs
as follows: "A father had family of
sons who were perpetually quarreling
among themselves when he failed to
heal their disputes by his exhortations,
he determined to give them a practi-
cal illustration of the evils Of dis
union; and for this purpose he one day
told them to bring him bundle of
sticks. When they had done So, he
placed the bundle into the hands of
each in succession, and ordered them
to break It in pieces. They each trlsd
with all their strength, but were not
able to do it. He next united the
bundle and took the sticks separately,
one by one and again put them into
their hands on which they broke them
easily. He then addressed them in
these words "My sons, if you are of
one mind, and unite to assist each
other you will be as this bundle of
sticks uninjured by all your enemies;
but if you are divided among your
selves you will be broken as easily as
these sticks"
Cultivate Trees.
Where the rainfall is light grass
and weeds are the great enemy of
trees. The grass and weeds have their
roots nearer the surface than the
trees and so have the first chance at
the moisture when it rains. If there
is not enough for grass and trees, it
is the trees that have to suffer. Gull
tivate and keep the surface free from
grass and weeds to a distance little
greater than the branches reach.
When this is done trees viii usually
make good growth in any part of

Store Robbed.

Some time between midnight
Sunday night and 4 o'clock Mon
day morning the general mer-
chandise store of L. M. Blauton
at Lincolnville was robbed. The
burglars entered the side door,
after breaking out the glass and
slipping back the bolt. About
500 worth of jewelry was taken,
as was also lot of overalls, shoes
and clothing. The Lincoluville
Ants offer a reward for the ar
rest of the thieves, and Mr.. Blan-
ton also offers a reward.

It's a Joke.

When the city of Galena, act
ing through some of its leading
citizens, stole a part of Baxter
Rural Route No. 3 from Baxter
Springs, it made representation 8
to the postofice department,
through an inspector, that the
service to the patrons would be
greatly improved, and that more
people would be benefited by the
change. After several bitches
the change was made.
Tuesday morning the Galena a
postofice phoned to the Baxter
postoffice to find out if there were
any mail at Baxter for Galena,
and the statement was made that
if there were somebody would
drive over in a car after it. The
Galena postal officials say that
they have had no mail since Sum
day.
The Galeua postal service is an
Improvement, we don't think.
And the people who are trying to
get mail from Galena out on the
rural route formerly served out of
the Baxter Office are of the same
opinion.
The different rural routes out
of Baxter Springs have been
served without a break in the ser.
vice, thank you.
But it did seem like the irony
of fate that Galena should phone
to Baxter Springs and ask for
mail.
