ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING

The annual school meeting for dis
trict number one was held at the
school building last Friday afternoon.
There was nothing particularly ex-
sitting or seemingly interesting to the
patrons and the attendance was quite
light. The members of the board
were reelected for another term or to
fill out the unexpired term for which
they were appointed last summer
The report of the clerk showed that
the district was running behind this
year in that the levy made at the
last meeting lacked about 5000 of
paying the expenses of the school
year. 1t was voted to levy 81, 1000 for
the current expenses for the next
year. 1t was also the unanimous
opinion of those present that no
more money should be expended for
repairing the old building as it is not
worth it. 1t was also voted that a
petition should be circulated pray
ing for another bond election to
to be called as soon as con
venient. The members of the board
are ]. G. Hixson, G. Nj. Hutchinson
and Jos. <. Evans.

Attention Farmers

The Hays Experiment station
wishes to state that it has a free
bulletin which win tell the farm
ers all about a grain to grow in
place of the wheat that failed to
make good this season. The
ground can be plowed up and
this grain put in at once and will
make a crop. Write to the sta
ton and get the bulletin also
write for information concern
ing this new grain they will
cheerfully give both. On April
2Sth a Grain Growers meeting
will be held at Hays at the exper-
iment station when orders for
seed grain will be taken. Let
our farmers who can attend do
so for with the war condition
this country cannot have too
much grain. Go if possible and
see about it, if not, write for the
bulletin telling about the grain
what it is, it's planting, yield,
etc. It will doubtless be of value
to all raisers of grain and will
only cost 2 cent stamp for the
inform alton.

AND THEN 1T RAINED

Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week were both the kind of
days that. we often hear about
but not so very frequently seen
in this country In the morning
they were fine and all things
seemed glorious but before night
the! wind was blowing at about
forty miles per hour and the
air was surcharged with dust.
Tuesday was the worse of the
two days owing to the prairie
fires which occurred. The first
call for help came from the
southwest in the vicinity of BoS-
ma. The fire got away from a
farmer near the Smoky river
and travelled north with the wind
at a rapid rate Much damage
was done to the pastures, fences
and feed stacks but have been
unable to learn of any buildings
being burned or stock being kill
ed The second call came from
the southeast and this fire is also
reported to have originated near
the Smoky. In its trip north
ward it is reported to have done
much damage and several build
ings are reported to have been
burned but most of the reports
cannot be confirmed and are CON
filcting. However, much feed
was destroyed, the barn at the
, Pioneer school house was burned
and it took hard fighting to save
the buildings on the Cortright
and Stanton farms.
About 3 o'clock in the after
noon a freight train coming in
from the west set a fire about
one and one-half miles west of
town which ran as far north as
Trego creek before it could be
stopped. In its courseit burned
over prairie grass and stubble
fields and destroyed the large
bara on the old Hillman place
west of town and a cattle shed on
the F. H. Burnham ranch. Sew
eral stacks of feed were also
burned. A. Fl. Hamm has the
Hillman place rented and had
new wagon and rack standing
near the barn. He saw the fire
starting and made a desperate
effort to save his wagon but be-
fore he could reach it the fire
was so hot that he had to let it
burn. About the time the fires
were under control local rain
came up and poured down hard
enough that the remaining fires
were extinguished.
The wind played the same kind
of trick Wednesday that it had
Thursday but there were no
fires. The fortunate thing which
followed the two days of wind
and dust was the excellent show
ers which came in the evening
and successfully broke one of
the longest droughts which has
ever occurred in this county
During the last week ] 33 inches
of rain has fallen here according
to the government rain guage.
This puts the soil in excellent
condition for planting corn and
other spring crops and will
bring out the wheat so that the
farmers can tell what their pros
poets are. The probability is
that more rain will follow and
that there will be a very large
acreage of corn and kafir corn
planted in this county.

Comment
j. W. B.


There is considerable talk going on
to the effect that the United States
should take control of food and seed
products in order that the people of
the nation might be better served
and that the prices could be thus
prevented the spectators forcing the
price on food so high that the poor
cannot buy it. In the meantime the
prices continue to go higher and
there is apparently no great effort
being made by the government to get
control of things.
Three months seems to be the gen.
orally predicted length oil time for
war to last but they usually last
much longer. The prediction is now
being made that Germany will be
licked to a standstill inside of the
next three months and that there
will be no need of any of the United
States troops being sent across the
water. Our aid and sympathy to the
allies and work which our navy can
do is considered to be about all this
country will get to get in during the
it, let us hope so.
How is it going to work out2 The
government announces that every
| possible effort is to be made to in
crease the out put of the farms dur
ing the coming season and that sew
eral more million acres of land is to
| be put under cultivation. Every en-
couragement will be put forth to get
men and women to cultivate the soil.
At the same time it is proposed to
raise any army of a million men dur
ing the next six months, thus taking
that number away from the producer
and making them into consumers. l
don't see how the game is going to
be worked out?
| After the crop had been made last
season and after the estimates were
all in there was practically no crv of
world shortage of food products and
the only thing which effected the
price of wheat was whether or not
the Dardinells would be opened. At
ter the big end of the crop was out of
/ bIlG IdudS Ol JIlc ldOIACTS du0< was
owned by the spectators, the great
shortage of food stuff was discovered
and since then the price has rapidly
advanced. 1t don't look just right,
does it2
But then, suppose the patriotic
thing to do is to pay the bill, pay a
big price for garden seed and try to
raise something with which to reduce
the price of the high cost of living.
