extent OF not more than $4,000 q
mile up to one fourth the cost and
not more than 100 miles In any coun-
ty and that this reimbursement may
date back to roads built after March
1, 1919.
The amendment Is one that appeals
especially to counties out here In
central Kansas. The whole state will
help raise the funds to be raised for
aid to the counties and that means
that the big corporations Of the cit
les will help the country districts In
paying for the roads. With federal
aid and a state distribution Of 20 per
cent I'm the cost Of roads II means that
Dickinson will get hard surfaced
roads at low cost. Further, this
county already has contracts for
about $4,000 In good roads and Pc
titions have been presented for per-
haps as much more. All these road
contracts will share In the distribu-
ton, making % per cent (or what

The whole country is waking up to

BACK TO EARTH WITH THU

$1,000 day for go days for lease
on a ten acre tract in California is
offered to Thomas Allison, clerk
in the grocery department of the
Leader store, according to report Of
Spokane paper. This is story
which makes fine reading and the
reader says Lucky Dog" or some
other appropriate expression of en-
vious admiration. $1,000 a day for
so days makes 100000; placed at in
terest at 40 it brings in net in
come of $1,000 year or 5000
month, surely better than clerking
in the grocery department. He could
afford to spend few thousands on
fine car and a beautiful home and
place the balance at interest and
still have enough to live on comfort
ably.
The report has it that oil has been
struck on the edges of the tract and
that Mr.. Allison departed Immediately
for California. However, he is still
to be seen behind the counter at the
Leader and claims that there is moth
ing to the report and does not under
stand how such report started.

DORMAN? MILBERG? LYNCH?
WHO KILLED THE DEER

"Swede" Lynch killed the deer. 1t
was predicted that Garland Dorman
would be the one to get the deer. He
tried hard enough as did also E. j.
Milberg when the three men went
out hunting the last of last week,
but when the trio returned Sunday
evening, the killing was attributed
to "Swede." What's more, the buck
was so big that it was all the three
men could do to drag it down the
mountain side.
Now here is another story that
makes the above seem false. "Swede"
never fired a gun in his life. Who
killed that deer? Evidently the
three all want to hunt deer again
this season.

CHAINED, LOCKED IN SHED
PRIZE DOG Is POISONED

On Friday night Of last week some
one poisoned the prize dog belonging
to Dale Jones. The person doing
this unlocked the door of the wood
shed in which the dog was chained
and unclaimed the dog which was
later found on the Seal property. The
dog died on Sunday morning. The
veterinarian states that it's death was
due to strychnine poisoning.
At the time of the Interstate FAIR
