AFTER LAND GRAFTERS.
Government Officials Write Meade
Men for Further Inform tion.

Men for Further Information.
Some weeks ago the Globe print
ed an article concerning an attempt
at land swindle on local parties.
The following letter was received by
Register of Deeds Scott that gives
more light on this subject and proves
beyond doubt that this was only
one of great many swindles that
have been tried or actually worked.
Mr.. Boehler received word few
days ago that the prosecution there
was in the hands of the post office
department and that disposition
would be made of the case in a few
days.
July II, 1917.
Meade County Register of Deeds,
Meade, Kansas.
Dear Sir:
A bunch of swindlers have been
operating in the western part of the
state transferring land by means of
forged deeds, acknowledged by a
purported notary of Johnson county,
Nebraska, by the name of E. C.
Hunt
This party does not hold commits
sion as Notary Public in Nebraska or
elsewhere and we are making an or
ganized effort to run these parties
down.
Up to date, we have located quite
a number of these forged deeds and
wish you would let me know wheth-
er there have been any forged deeds
filed in your county. If so, give me
the names, addresses of all heparties
who can give me any information
concerning the same. Be sure to
make inquiries of your abstractors
also.
Thanking you in advance for an
early reply, I am
Very truly yours,
Edgar B. Corse.
Mr.. Corse who wrote the above
letter has been notified of their
operations in this county and they
too will no doubt take the matter up
with the authorities in San Francisco
and not only one but possibly all of
the crooks may meet with the justice
they deserve.

A Few Pointer. on Citizenship.

Don't be the man who put sit in
city.
Save a little money and save a lot
Of worry.
Be live one and the town will
never be a dead one.
Why should a town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan, in 9th
er words-BE A BOOSTER!
A good way to make the world
better is to begin with the home
town.
A town is like perambulator-
it isn't much god unles it is push
ed.
Be one of the live leaders of the
town, if you can, if you can't try to
keep up with the live bunch.
A good town will do more toward
keeping the boys and girls at home
than good advice.
than good advice.
full what little fixing up will do to-
ward lettering the looks.
They say opportunity knocks at
every mans door; better be at home
when the lady calls.
Some people say the world owes
them living, but if you will notice
they hang around. the street cor
ners trying to collect it.
You've got to be citizen to vote
but you have got to do good deal
more than vote to be citizen.
If you will consider the men in this
town who are well off you will find
that most of them made their money
here, and there is room for you.

G. W. Hill, who resides two miles
east and half mile north of Lorena,
Oklahoma, was in the city Saturday.
Mr.. Hill has been busy the last two
weeks with hoe clearing 40 acre
field of weeds, which could not be
eliminated with the cultivator. He
finished his work Friday and says he
has one Of the cleanest row crops
insofar as the weeds are concerned
in the southwest. There may be a
few people who use the hoe in the
fields these days, but one doesn't
learn about them. Usually if the
cultivator doesn't garner all the
weeds, the weeds remain.

OF 1000 TO 1900, WITH MORE
STANDING ROOM.
MANY GUT.OY.7OwN ,I,l1ORS
Accommodation Will Be Comfortable

list May Make it Warm For Those
Who Have Gone Astray.

A crew of workmen is energetical-
ly engaged in the construction of the
immense tabernacle on North Garden
street for the accommodation OF the
thousands of persons who are expect
ed to attend the Bob Jones revival
that will be held in this city begin
ming September %. The building will
be completed within the next week
in time for the crowds to be taken
care of without inconvenience. AS
one prominent committeeman ex-
pressed it, the tabernacle will be big
enough to handle crowd the size OF
which would attend Barnum &
Bailey circus.
1t is estimated that the tabernacle
will comfortably seat from 5000 to
1000 persons and probably more than
that can find standing room on nights
of special interest. This large seat
ing capacity is being arranged for the
special purpose of accommodating the
ont-of-town attendants, it being the
custom for people to come from many
miles around the town in which the
Rev. Bob Jones is holding meeting
to hear his thrilling sermons, which
are said to equal those of the most
famous evangelist of days gone by.
Mr.. J. F. Brownlow, cashier Of the
Maury National Bank, is chairman OF
the building committee, and he is 60
ing about the construction of the tab
ernacle with his customary business
like and efficient methods. He did not
wait until the last minute to start the
work and thus permit the revival to
begin before it was completed. Com
Portable seats will be provided and
the roof will be such that the meet
ings can be held rein or shine, sleet
or snow. 1t will be cozy place for
those whose souls are right but Bob
Jones may make it warm for those
who have not kept their feet on the
straight and narrow.

BETHEL HOTEL
HAS SMALL BLAZE
ORIGINATED IN THE SERVANTS
CLOAK ROOM-LOSS ABOUT
$1,0OO-FULL INSURANCE.

Fire was discovered in the Hotel
Bethel Thursday afternoon about
three thirty o'clock and but for the
quick action of the men in the hotel
with the assistance of some outsiders
the blaze would have been serious
The fire originated in the servants
cloak room on the second floor and
was making rapid strides toward
reaching the third story, in fact did
get into a kind of store room on the
third floor The hotel is equipped
with fire hydrants and hose and sew.
eral men got to the hydrant in the
north end of the hotel and succeeded
in turning the water on and held the
flames in check until the fire depart
ment got upon the scene and got a
large stream of water to work.
The fire was in position that with
little Roadway would have been
hard proposition to fight. The room
in which it originated is right at the
bottom of the steps leading to the
third floor from the servants quar-
tiers and while the flames were held in
check great deal of damage was
done. Mr.. Dedman figures that his
loss from fire and water combined
will possibly be within thousand
dollars. The floors and ceilings were
flooded with water, but after the
flames were extinguished large
force of hands were put to work and
supper was served at the usual hour.
The loss is fully covered by insur.
ance. No damage was done to any of
the property of the patrons and
resident boarders Of the hotel.
