DISTRICT COURT DOINGS

The grind of the district court mill
of justice for the March term of the
district court for Trego county will
close this week. The calendar was not
entirely cleared and some cases were
continued or carried over until the
September term.
An interesting civil case on account
of its complications was the Palco
State bank VS.. Fl. 0. Ward and others
which involved both horses and
mules which had changed hands as
mortgaged property. VIM. Hall, who
lives few miles northwest of this
city was one of the defendants as lie
had purchased horses of Ward. How
ever, it was not proved that the
horses owned by Hall were the ones
covered by the mortgage and the case
was dismissed as far as Hall is con-
cerned. Ward and one Jones is still
involved in the suit.
The case of Clara Mangould VS..
Godfried Mangould for divorce and
division of property was carried over
until the next term OF court and
settlement is pending.

J. T. Hazen was up from the south
side of the county last Saturday tran
sacting business. He reports some of
the wheat as showing up nicely in
that part of the county.
Miss Verna Wickizer and Mrs.
Gibbs, of Quinter, were shopping
with Wax eeney merchants between
home of their friend, Mrs. p. Z. Ker-
aus.
w. M Nelson, of Riverside town
ship, was in town Monday and made
final settlement on the S. T. Yarbow
and Gustave T. SitZ estate and was
discharged from further duties as
administrator.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather has been very dry the past
several months, the wheat in many
places is showing up pretty good. The
the snow was held from blowing away
by the growth of last years stubble.
Very little favorable report is made
for the ground which was plowed last
summer as it has both dried out and
blown out during the winter months.
The people of this county do not ex-
pect much of a wheat crop this year
but if some good rains will come be-
| fore long there will be considerable
good wheat raised in the county.
The present h gh price of hogs is
taking nearly everything in the hog
liine out of the country and it is about
time for someone with a bunch OF
forethought to decide that some OF
them should be held here. The farm
er who has a alfalfa field or other
cheap feed can clean up nice bunch
of money by buying up lot of brood
sows or young SOW pigs and holding
them over till another season. i
there is but an average corn crop in
1 this part of Kansas and the United
States the price on hog stock will 81
sky high. There doesn't seem to bt
much of a chance for fat hogs to bt
cheap again for long while either.

Within about ten days work will
be commenced on the erection of a
new elevator in this city for the
Hardman Lumber Co. The old build
ing will be RACED and the new one
will be erected on the old sight. The
contract has been let to Kaucher s.
Sons of st. Joseph, Mo, and the
structure will be of concrete with a
capacity of forty thousand bushels.
TheTazing of the present Hartman
elevator will remove one the old land
marks of the city and one of the first
buildings erected here, but its pass
ing will give this city strictly mod

latest machinery for handling land
cleaning grain. According to COZ
tract the new elevator is TO be COM
pleted by the first of July which will
be in time TO handle the wheat
crop of this year G. L. Hartman,
local manager, says the company is
not building the elevator on the
wheat prospects for this year but for
years to come and in the faces of the
present poor prospects its enterprise
is to be commended and appreciated
by the citizens of this county.

The document supplies the missing
link to many separate chains of cir
cumstances, which until now have
seemed to lead to no definite point.
II sheds new light upon the frequent
ly reported but indefinable movements
of the Mexican government to couple
its situation with the friction between
the United States and Japan.
1t adds another chapter TO the cele-
brated report of ISScs CambOn, French
ambassador in Berlin before the war,
of Germanys worldwide plans for stir
ring strife on every continent where
they might aid her in the struggle for
world domination which she dreamed
was close at hand.
1t adds climax to the operations OF
Count Won Bernstorff and the German
embassy in this country, which have
been colOred with passport frauds,
charges of dynamite plots and intrigue.

WRITERS BEHIND THE TIMES
Taken No cognlzance Of Changes
Occurring in Dialects.

When Joseph Vance, If whom De
Morgan wrote book, was a boy In
London, the local diale,t was like
this:
Hes a-goin' for to fight Mr.. Gum
beyont the Pinnerforty works. and you
better look sharp II you want for to
see anythink."
Vance went away to South Amer
lea and returned after many years to
find the jargon altered TO this pat
tern:
1T (the noise) was Idly with a
biby fighting another lldy and both
was took off 20 the Stytion."
All American dialects have changed
in 80 years as that of London did,
with the possible exception of the
tongue spoken in the southern Appa-
lachian country. Yet, to Judge by
American comic papers and the gen.
tlemen of the stage. our dialects are
as immutable as the stars. They
change no more than the faces OF
great cliffs.
Why would II not be a good .dea
to appoint committee to walt on
editors of humorous periodicals and
the writer's Of plays and point out to
them politely that they speak the lam
guage of people long In their graves

''CAsCARETS' FOR
LIVER, BOWELS
For sick headache, bad breath,
Sour Stomach and
constipation.
Get a 1o.cent box now.

No odds how bad your liver, stomach
or bowels; how much your head
aches, how miserable and uncomfort-
able you are from constipation, indiges-
ton, biliousness and sluggish bowels
you always get the desired results
with Cascarets.
Don't let your stomach. liver and
bowels make you miserable. Take
Cascarets tonight; put an end to the
headache, biliousness, dizziness, nerv-
BUSINESS, sick, sour, gassy stomach,
backache and all other distress;
cleanse your inside organs OF all the
bile, gases and constipated matter
which is producing the misery.
A 10-cent box means health, happi'
ness and a clear head for months.
No more days of gloom and distress
II you will take Cascaret now and
then. All stores sell Cascarets. Don't

Emphasizes Our PeriIS.

1t gives new credence TO persistent
reports of submarine bases on Mexi-
can territory in the Gulf of Mexico );
it takes cOgnizance of fact long rec
OgniZed by American army chiefs,
that if Japan ever undertook, TO In
wade the United States 1t probably
would be through Mexico, over the
border and into the Mississippi valley
to split the country in two.
Ii recalls that Count Won Bernstorh
when handed his passports was very
reluctant to return to Germany, but
expressed a preference for asylum in
Cuba.
1t gives a new explanation to the
repeated arrests on the border of men
charged by American military authori-
ties with being German intelligence
agents.
Last of all, II seems to show con-
nection with General Carranza's re-
cent proposal to neutrals that exports
of food and munitions to the entente
allies be cut off, and an intimatiOn
that he might stop the supply of oil,
so vital TO the British navy, which is
exported from the TampicO fields.
