editor of the Democrat stopped in
the Griffith g. Baughman office on
his way from dinner, and after Wis
it made the statement that if he was
at the office he would go to work.
Mr.. Baughman thought it would be
novel sight to see an editor work,
so agreed with Mr.. Griffith that each
would carry half the load and see the
fun. The weilder Of the pencil
stood pat, and the gentlemen per-
formed their part of the agreement
well until almost at their destination
when Guy P. Bedford appeared on
the scene. They made deal with
Guy to finish the job, and the trans
fer was made, but Guy, not being u.s.
ed to handling live ones, defaulted
when almost at the office door. And
as result the editor got free ride
to the office and did not have to
work either.

SELLS TINES

The Texhoma Times has changed
hands. Last week was the last time
Mr.. Kreiger was to issue the paper.
Rowland Bush of Crandell, Tex, is
his successor. He is an old newspa-
per man and we extend to him the
hand of fellowship and wish him well
in his new venture. He has a good
field and Mr.. Kreiger leaves him a
good paper. 1t has kept pace with
the rapid progress of the country and
today ranks among the best in the
county. We take from Mr.. Kreiger's
last issue of the Times that it is his
intention to move to his farm. If
he gives it the same careful attention
he has given the Times it will be the
best improved place in Texas county
some of these days.-Guymon Her

SELLS POINT
ROCK RANCH

L. J. Pettijohn, general agent for
the Santa Fe lands in Southwest Kan
sas, pulled off large land deal last
night when he sold the Point Rocks
ranch in Morton county, consisting of
fifty-four quarter sections to Elkhart
purchasers.
The Point Rocks ranch is located
eight miles north of Elkhart on the
Cimarron river, and was formerly
headquarters for the Boice Cattle Co.
Point Rocks, with its high bluffs
overlooking the valley and which
shelter the ranch buildings and cor
rails, with its broad acres covering the
rolling hills and valleys, is most pic
turesque place as well as being one
of the most profitable grass PROPOSE

FLOUR MILL AT KISMET

Last week company was organ
lied to put in Midget Marvel flour
mill at Kismet. Those interested met
Saturday and completed the organ
izaton by electing ]. H. Light as
president, E. A. Louthan vice-presi-
dent, R. E. Benson secretary, and E.
R. Hess treasurer and general man
ager. The ground was staked off
Monday and the bids opened and
contract let for digging of the base
ment and the hauling of the sand
Work started Tuesday on the base
ment and it is the intention to be
grinding flour by the first of June.
The capital was all furnished by To-
cal people and this is strictly home
concern. Mr.. Hess who assumes the
management has had several years
experience in the flour mill business
and we are assured that when this
mill begins to turn out the finished
product, Kismet will have chance
to be proud of her product, as it will
be "as good as the best and better
than the rest. Plains Journal.

Holland Bros drove to Wichita one
day last week on a business trip, and
say that they did not find any par
ticularly promising crops on the way.
They say, however that the roads are
fine for motoring. Asked regarding
the prospect for wheat in this section
they said that they had seventy acres
that with rain in the next ten or
twelve days would make good crop
While away they visited their pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. M. M. Holland

One of our subscribers asked us
the other day why we did not write
more editorials. Well, there are two
perfectly good reasons, and we do
not mind making them public. In
the first place an editorial is merely
the expression of the opinion of the
editor on some question or subject,
and we have been too ALFRED busy
the past two weeks to have an opin-
ion about anything. In the second
place, when we do get time to think
connectedly long enough to write an
editorial the boys in the back room
will have little too much matter for
the space-and as the least impor-
tant matter is always left out-there
go our editorials. Possibly if they
were printed the public would give
them about the same consideration
as do the printers.

A travelling man has written the
Hutchinson News letter in which he
gives the real, unadulterated, inside
dope" on the crop situation in South
west Kansas, by saying that there
will be no wheat west of Salina and
Hutchinson. The writer has lived in
this section long time, and has
heard a report like this at some time
during almost every year,yet only
once have we seen the total failure
predicted by the travelling man. The
real truth of the matter is that with
moisture soon and an average season
thereafter this part of the country
will have some wheat. 1t is dry
enough, goodness knows, and plenty
of wind, but these windy periods are
nearly always followed by rain, so
we are going to keep on hoping

University Professors are all right
and many of them are men of high
order of intelligence, but occasional
ly one is inclined to question their
opinions. A short time ago one of
these u. p's. discovered that the
English sparrows were mems best
friend; we took it with salt. Now
comes another with the statement
that snake is the farmers best
friend. And in Kansas, with per-
fectly good bone dry law, what in
the name of common sense can a
man take with that.
