Your ENccllency spoke of new and

Docs this refer to relations with the
United Statcs?"
Most assuredly 1t docs. he replied.
II am glad TO say that our relations
with the great republic OF North
America were never more cordial than
they arc at present. But It seems to
me there is something more than Il
rlatonic cordially lying ahead Of the
two nations which lie closest to each
other across the Atlantic. After all. ii
cannot be overlooked that arc of
common stock. There are ties Of birth
and blood between Spain and America
as vital as the ties Of language. And
beside that, remember that Spain is the
westernmost nation of Europe, reach
ing out into tho Atlantic towards
America. her ports lying closest TO
the ports OF America, and Offering the
shortest and most natural highway, not
only between America and Spain. but
also between America and the whole
Continent Of Europe.
America and Spain are nearest in
birth. nearest in geographical prox-
unity. and they should strengthen their
relations together for the great era OF
reconstruction and revival which lies
ahead of them when this world tragedy
of war is over"

That was sure cold wave that hit
Western Kansas last Sunday morn
ing.
There is loo or more loads of wheat
standing at the Golden Belt elevator
in Ellis for the last days that could
not get unloaded for the want of cars.
Guess the ice is thick enough to
satisfy everybody now as several
inches have been added TO that which
was already on the water before this
time.
The elevators have been standing
still in Ellis for 4 days without any
cars, it is as bad as ever it seems to
get cars Notwithstanding the order
of the utilities commission that the
railroads should keep the elevators
open.
As Lee Wagg was going into Ellis
last Saturday with a load of wheat a
man named Honas ran past him with
a large car and scared his team break
ing the reach in his wagon and up
setting the wheat. The team ran
away dragging Mr.. Wagg about half
mile and through wire fence skin
ming and bruising him very badly.
1t is said that Honas never gave any
warning nor stopped to help or see
if Mr.. Wagg was killed or gave any
assistance in any way. Such cases as
this should be attended to by the
officers of the law.

the explosion happened is not known

the engineer at the light plant,
turned on the electric current which
runs the motor and pump at the well.
The pump is a complete wreck and
much other damage was done at the

THAT on account of the fore thought
OF the city government a new pump
and motor were on hand ready for
such an emergency and work was

new pump. During the next few

citizens of WaKeeney be careful to
guard against starting fires in the
open.

No matter how good the weather or
how much rough feed there is in the
country, there are always some farm
ers who do not take good care of their
stock and who have a bunch of hard
lockers. This year is no exception
but for the most part the farmers
report their stock coming through
the winter in fine shape. The scar
city of feed last fall made many fear
that they could not get their stock
through the winter, but the weather
