Sunday evening, about dark,
the word was passed around that
Ben Latta, ID years old, could
not be found. Mr.. Latta. with
his son, Virgil ann wife, we're at
the John Jones home for a few
days stay, That evening they
had all gone for an auto ride and
returned short time before the
rain. The members of the fam.
lily and Mr.. and Mrs. Latta enter
ed the south door of the Jones
home, while Mr. Ben Latta went
around the house, supposedly, TO
enter the west door. When he
did not enter within a few min
utes. his son went into the yard
to look for him, but he was not
on the premises. Search com
menced at once, aud continued
until about midnight when he
was located In the back yard of
the A. T. Bodle home. Having
been in the rain so long, be was
badly chilled. Mr.. Latta suffer
ed stroke of paralysis a few
years ago, and weakened con
dition of his mind resulted,
which is responsible for his
wandering away from the house.
His son and wife, aud Mr., and
Mrs. John Joues have requested
that we assure all who helped in
the search of their appreciation.

Danger of Gas in Silos

Topeka, September kansas
farmers who are filling their
silos just now should keep a close
watch for gas, particularly in pit
and cement silos which have few
openings or in the wooden silos
which are not provided with
doors. There have been no
deaths from asphyxiation in
silos this year, but there were
three last year and a little care
would prevent this.
When the water is poured into
the corn or the sorghums in the
silos it sets up a fermentation.
This fermentation gives off a
carbon dioxide gas which is rath-
er dangerous as life cannot ex-
ist in it. 1t is frequently found
in old wells and there are many
instances of men being asphyxi-
|ated in wells. The gas is heavier
than air and lies at the bottom of
the silo, crowding out the air en-
tirely. 1t remains in the silo for
several weeks after the ferment-
alton has, ended.
The pit silos and the cement
silos are the most dangerous as
there is no way to get the air in
many of these so that the gas
can be driven out. Many farm
ers put the blower to work for a
considerable time each morning
to drive the gas out of the silo.
Others are not so careful.
"The farmers, before entering
any silo during the filling period
and after fermentation has set
l. in should never enter it without
taking the. proper precautionary
measures, said j. c. Mohler, Sec
retary of the state board of ag-
riculture. "The only way to be
sure of freedom from gas is to
lower a lantern into the silo. II
the light burns low or goes out
there is gas there in sufficient
quantities to be dangerous"
Kansas has thousands of pit
silos in the western and central
parts of the state and these are
the particularly dangerous ones.
They are nothing more than big
wells and there is no way to keep
them free of gas by opening the
Doors.

Pension Bill Passes

Many inquiries have been
made as to what had become of
the $40 widows pension bill, so
for the benefit Of those who may
not already know, we are glad to
have to announce that same was
signed by President Wilson on
September 9Th and is now a law.
This is only one among the
many excellent bills passed by
the congress just adjourned, and
few if any will meet with more
APPROVAL.
We will publish within the
next week or two, more informa-
ton regarding the provisions of
this bill, and also the necessary
steps to be taken in order that
each widow may receive the in
crease due her, by the provisions
of this new pension bill. 1t must
not be. forgotten that our own
Kansas Congressman, Jouett
Shouse,, is responsible for this
act which gives to every deserv-
ing widow pension worthy of
mention.

Meade County Stock

c. s. Hulburt has just return
ed from Topeka where he took
"Hensol F." the yearling Gallo
way bull, which he exhibited at
the Meade County Fair. Mr..
Hulburt sold the animal to a
gentlemen IN the eastern part of
this state, consideration, $500.
This is the sixth registered Call
owaY calf Mr.. Hulburt has sold
this year, and the average price
received was $277. so. On his
place, South Wood Stock Farm,
two miles south of Meade are
eighty head of the same stock.
The sire of the calf sold was the
international Grand Champion
in 1919. A half brother won the
honor in 1912, another in 1914
and there IS every reason to be.
lieve that Hensol F. will claim
it in 1917. He took the blue rib.
bon at the Meade FAIR, and will
be shown OF the State Fair, next
week.

National Pay Up Week

Mayor Adams has designated
the first week in October as the
time to square up debts. 1t is a
national movement, and Meaf e
will join in passing prosperity
around in an endless chain.
The one fact that should i'm.
press us all most, is, how very
depe ndent we all, are upon each
other. No one class can gain at
the expense of all tho others
The factories cannot run without
markets for their goods. The
far 70 er can make no money If
there is none to buy his surplus
products, for, as the farmer
prospers, all prosper; as the
other commercial interests of
the country prosper, the farmer
prospers. We must all look to
each other for our living. If we
turn into the channels of bust.
ness the millions of dollars. that
we all owe each other, so that we
can again use the dollars to bny
more that we need, every man
who is supplying a need will
prosper. That is the object of
National Pay-Up Week, October
III.
You can help and you can be
helped if you will pay up during
this week, Every business man
in Meade has pledged himself to
pay all his bills that he can at
this time. Lets all work to-
gether.

Men Who Are Doing Things

If you will note the men who
are in Business in your town
the men, the firms, the institu-
tions-the merchants, the pro-
fessional men, the bankers-the
men of all lines-you will find
that these men are your friends,
your neighbors. You will find
that these are the men who are
taking a special interest, an ac-
tive interest, in the upbuilding
of your locality-in the welfare
of your community-that these
are the men who are doing
things worth while-men of
high ideals, men of energy, en-
terprize, efficiency-men who
have vision of bigger and bet
ter things for your town and the
country surrounding it. These
men are working, planning,
striving, not only to see that
your town holds it's own, but,
they are willing to put time and
brains and money into every
good movement that will help to
make your town a better town
than it is today-better for the
town man and better for the
farmer. Without the activities
of these men, your town would
be dead-property in town and
around the town would decrease
in value-the streets would be
deserted, the home market
would be gone, your religious
and educational institutions
would decline. AS you love your
home-your town-your COM
munity-you should give these
men your support, your encour-
agement, your cooperation.

j. E. Thornberry, a well driller,
is in the McCarty hospital and
the motorcycle Of Deacon God
frey, junior, is on the scrap heap
as a result of a collision Sunday
between the motorcycle and a
Ford car, driven by John Lloyd
of Ford. Godfrey with Thorn
berry ON the motorcycle behind
him came south from home to
turn into the Fort road. Mr..
Lloyd drove from the right side
to the left side of the Fort road,
coming west and the machines
struck at the edge of the road.
Godfrey and his machine were
tossed into the side of the road,
while Thornberry was dragged
about fifty feet by the Ford. He
is badly bruised and scratched
but is not believed to be serious
ly injured.
The above is from the Dodge
City Globe. Deacon Godfrey is
a brother Of Roy Godfrey of this
city.

A $4,000, 900 Appetite

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. s.
The Hessian fly in Kansas has a
$15,000,000 appetite this year.
In other words the pest devoured
or destroyed wheat valued at
that figure, largely due to the
lack of action and cooperation
in the work of eradication.
Most of this damage could
have been prevented, declare
Professors L. e. Call, S. G. Sal
mon and G. G. Cunningham of
the agronomy department in the
Kansas State Agricultural col
lege in an experiment station
bulletin just published. The Hes
sian fly was present this past
season in all counties in the CEN
trail part of the state and was
fairly we'll distributed over the
eastern counties. This does not
mean that the fly always causes
damage in this area, but that it
has been found there this past
season and is, therefore, a source
of danger to future crops. The
Hessian fly can readily be detect
ed by examining the wheat stub
bic. If present in large numbers
the next crop certainly will be in
jured unless proper methods Of
control are adopted.
There are two effective and
practical ways to control Hes
sian fly. One is to kill all the fly
in the; stubble and in volunteer
wheat before they can hatch and
lay their eggs in the grain. The
other is to destroy the volunteer
wheat and delay seeding so that
most of the flies will have ceased
laying eggs by the time the
wheat is up.
The best way to kill the Hes
sian fly in infested stubble where
it exists in the pupa stage is to
plow early and at least four or
five inches deep. If the ground
is then worked down with a disk
the fly will be buried so deep and
the ground above packed so firm
ly that very few of them will be
able to get to the surface.
Burning the stubble also kills
the few Hessian flies above
ground, but probably does not
kill the majority, which are be-
low the surface. Since burning
destroys the organic matter in
the stubble, which is needed in
most Kansas soils, and does not
destroy a very large per cent of
the, Hessian flies, it cannot be
recommended as a general prac-
tice.
Early deep plowing, to be fully
effective, must be practiced by
the entire neighborhood, and
must include all infested fields
since the flies sometimes mi
crate considerable distance.

Departed

Freda, the seven year old
daug hter OF Mr.: and Mrs. John
Painter, was drowned, Wednes-
day, September 18th. 1t seems
that the other children had gone
to school and this child followed
them as far as the creek where
she stopped to wade or fell il.
Her lifeless body WAS found a
short time later.
Interment was made in Grace
land Cemetery, September l4th.
A short service was conducted
at the grave by Rev. c. J. Spiers
of the Baptist Church.

Meade County Fair

Meade County's Sixth Annual
Fair closed in a blaze of glory
Friday night.
A better representation of the
fine stock, which has gwen this
county first place in the state,
has never been exhibited here.
The poultry, too, was far above
the exhibits of previous years in
that department. The farm
products. IN quantity, were not
up to the average, but in quality
could not be excelled. Other de
partments we're about as usual.
The races and other attrac-
tions added generous share to
the entertainment of the multi
tudes who came to see the ad-
vancement Meade county 10 max

In all, the Fair was success
in every way and everyone is
we'll satisfied with the outcome.
We had expected to publish a
part of the premium list this
week but were disappointed in
getting 1t set. Same will appear
next week. We kindly ask, how
ever that those handing in this
material have ittypewritten, for
the reas on that we have it mach
inc set, and linotype operators
very much dislike long hand

Old Land Mark Gone

We are advised that Willis
Wolfe has purchased the site
generally referred to as "the
Mulllgan cellar" and has already
com menced the erection Of a
modern, two story brick garage.
The erection of a building on
this corner will obliterate an old
land mark. Had the plans of
Messrs Mulligan and Hassett.
both now deceased, materIalized
some twenty odd years ago, a
handsome hotel building would
have graced the place, but as It
was, all that was accom- plished
was the excavation of the cellar,
and when their hopes died with
the boom, it was left TO he mem
ace and an "eye.sore" for, To-!
these many years.

The city water has been piped
to The Meade Steam Laundry,
and the management informs us
that they now have a sufficient
supply of pure water to do all the
laundry work in the city. They
are putting forth an effort to do
only first class work, and so long
as they do this, they merit the
patronage of our people. We
trust that they will receive a
sufficient share to pay expenses,
eat, and have a little left.

A general rain visited Meade
county Sunday night. The pre-
cipitation was about an inch, and
every inch went into the ground,
putting same in excellent shape
for plowing and planting, also
giving the feed crop a much
needed soaking. At the present
time the outlook is good for a
1917 wheat crop. May prosperi-
ty continue to be unbounded in
good old Meade county.

Thursday afternoon a severe
hail storm paid an unwelcome
visit to the garden of Frank
Marrs, in the Artesian Valley.
No less than $1,000 worth Of
vegetables and melons were tot
ally destroyed, to say nothing of
his feed crop. The Eliason farm
was also visited, but less dam
age was done. Some of the sheds
on the George Landis farm were
blown down. No other damage
has been reported. :
