IT WAS A FINE RAIN

During the early part of the season
a rain such as we had here Wednes-
day was not of more than usual inn
portance but the citizens of this
county are wearing a pleasant smile
and are feeling thankful for the $40
inches of water which fell -Wednes-
day The rain commenced falling at
about o'clock Wednesday morning
and for the next twenty-four hours
there was an almost continuous fall
OF water. Some of the time it came
down pretty lively but for the most
part it was so gradual that it could
easily soak into the soil. The farm
ers can now p1ow or sow. wheat with
the assurance of plenty of moisture
to sprout the wheat and give it a good
start this fall. Some damage will be
done to grain which has not been
threshed, but the benefit to others will
far exceed the damage. Threshing will
be delayed for several days on account
of the wet stacks
According to local weather records
this rain is a record breaker In De-
cember 1913 six inches of water fell
IN six days time and in June of the
same year about four inches fell in
three hours, but for twenty-four
hour rain this one is the biggest and
best.

shippers was larger than in preceding
days and packers bought freely. Pigs
and light weight hogs continued in
liberal supply, and feeder buyers took
the offerings at $500 to $17.25. Both
Missouri and Kansas report fewer

DROWNED IN BIG CREEK

| Just before going to press word
was received of the death of Frank
Rhoades, a transient laborer, in Big
Creek at the Hickman crossing south
west of town couple of miles at
! about o'clock this afternoon He
had been working with the Price
threshing outfit few miles south of
town and as the rain had delayed the
threshing for few days the crew
were coming TO town in wagon.
When they reached Big Creek they
found the stream greatly swollen but
four of them remained In the wagon
and decided to try to cross. When
they reached the bridge they either
missed it or it is washed away and
the team went down and the wagon
and men foated down stream about q
hundred and fifty yards when it 1odg-
sed on firm ground and the men climb
ed on top of it. They stood there
awaiting help declaring they could not
swim. An effort was made to get
boat out to them from the north side
OF the stream but it proved to be
Ieaky and of Use. Menaon the
south side wadeds out to within a
few feet of the imprisoned men and
tried to get them to jump from the
wagon and wade ashore. The water
continued to raise and turned the
wagon box over again. Three of the
men made a jump and SWAN to SAT-
ETY. but the other Frank Rhoades,
could not swim and clung to the wa
gon, but broke loose and was drowned,
no one being able to get to him and
render any assistance, the team was
also drowned. The creek is still ris-
ing rapidly and larger volume of
water is reported coming down from
the west. 1t is probable that the body
of victim cannot be recovered until
after the flood subsidies. His body is
supposed to have lodged in c1ump
of willows near where he was seen
the last time.

TRADE FROM NEAR BY TOWNS

thus enabling the business of a place
to be conducted on a bigger scale A
non advertising town gets very little
outlying country business People pre-
fer to go a greater distance to place
that show more enterprise.
When new business is drawn in
from the surrounding country and the
trade volume is thereby increased, the
stores can buy in bigger lots at lower
prices The expense charge for each
article sold is reduced
Thus advertising tends to create a
community of active, enterprisinsy,
wide awake stores, that do business
enough and turn their capital fast
enough so that their service is per-
formed on an economical basis
This point of view is sustained by
the fact that in any bright and go
