THE LOCAL MARKET

A case of eggs brought more money
in Topeka Tuesday than forty bush
eI load of corn sold for but on the
local market the margin is in favor
of the corn but not because of the gen
eraI condition It is purely local. If
there had been enough corn raised in
this county that it could be sold on
the market and shipped out the con-
dition would be reversed What lit
tie corn is selling at the present time
is bringing fifty cents per bushel but
If it was being bought and shipped to
Kansas City the price would not be
over thirty-fve or forty cents. The
local price on eggs is sixty cents per
dozen in case lots. Not very many
case lots are being brought to town
The hens are taking 1ay-of and are
only producing them in small quanti-
ties The price oats and barley
would not be more than thirty cents
per bushel according to the Kansas
City market. Butter fat is still a
good price at around fifty cents per
pound but it is showing a weakened
tendency on the general market

THANKSGIVING

This is Thanksgiving Day, the day
when practically everyone but the
turkey, the editor and the preacher
mentioned furnish the eats give the
talks and furnish the news for the
rest OF mankind who are having the
good time The big objection the
newspaper man has to Thanksgiving
Day is because it always comes on
press day and IN order to get his day
off he must put in extra hours the
rest of the week. But then, what is
the need of a Thanksgiving Day? We
ought to be thankful each day that
we are alive and well and that others
are enjoying the same great blessing
There are plenty of people who can
and do express such thanlfulness each
day but there are others who would
never show the least disposition to
thank the Almighty for the things
they are receiving if they Were not
compelled to do So Others need not
be compelled to offer thanks but would
not do so for lack of thought or time
If a certain day was not set aside each
year for that purpose. It is the best
thing for our nation that day be
designated each year as a day when
alteration and thanks should be or
fered to God for the blessings re-
eelved during the year. No matter
how hard q life one may have, or
thinks he has, there are many things
for which to be thankful and I have
always imaged that the Almighty ap-.
preciates a sfthank you" as much as
we common mortals do. Our thanks
giving should always be on the posi-
tive order. It is not sufficient to be
thankful that our lot is not as bad as
that of someone else but we should be
thankful that we are SO pleasantly
situated and have so many things to
be thankful for There are ALWAYS
some nation who are fighting poverty
or disease but the nation as a nation
has never enjoyed greater prosperity
than has been it's lot during the last
year Let US give thanks and be truly
thankful today for all these blessings.

MUCH WHEAT BEING SHIPPED

There has been no congestion OF
wheat wagons near the elevators in
WaKeeney this year like there was
IN 1916 but a large amount of wheat
is being shipped out just the same.
Since the car shortage has been re-
lieved there has been steady run of
receipts at the local elevators blat the
decline in price has prevented heavy
run Farmers are selling enough
wheat to supply what money they
need However, last week between
forty and fifty cars of wheat were
shipped from this market. The price
today, Tuesday, is $1.35 per busheI
which is a little stronger than the
market price should be, but the
Farmers elevator had sold enough
contract wheat that it can afford to
pay that price. The tendency of the
market today is little stronger but
according to the opinion of men en-
gagged in the grain business there is
little chance for the price ever re-
gaining the heighth It held a few
months ago Wheat men claim there
Is nothing to justify a high price on
wheat

c. M. BELL DIED NOVEMBER 1s

Mention was made in The World
last week of the serious condition of
ChaS M. Bell, of Franklin township
and ex-county treasurer, and when the
announcement Of his death reached
WaKeeney Sunday it was not a sur
prise to those who best new his con-
dition- Dir. Bell had been in failing
health for several months from
catarrhal OF cancerous conditions of
the stomach but was able to be around
his farm and to look after business
interests until he was taken to Grace
Hospital at Kansas City a short time
ago where it was hoped to make him
more comfortable during his decline.
His body was returned to Utica Mon
day morning and the funeral services
were conducted from Utica Monday
afternoon bdr. Bell was a member
OF WaKeeney ldge A F. & A. M. and
his body was given Masonic burial

Chas. NJ. Bell was born in Pennsy1-
vania September 27, 184S, and passed

aged 72 years, 1 month and 22 days.
He moved with his parents in 1S49
to lafayette, Indiana, and lived there
until 1860, when the family settled in
Monroe County, Iowa. The Bell
family was among the first settlers
of Trego county, having located in
Franklin township in 1880. 1t was
here Mr.. Bell spent the remainder of
his life, except few years that he
was in WaKeeney holding the Office
of County Treasurer of Trego County
While hee he greatly increased the
number of staunch friends by his man
" christian character. For many
years he has been a member of the
Presbyterian Church, but worshipped
with the Methodist people who have
built a church his ranch
His was one of those quiet, unas-
suming lives that leave deep and Last
ing influence on all who knew him
He is survived by but few near rela-s
tives and those being Guy Noble and
Thrope Noble, who live near Tulare,
Calf, and Mrs. Joyce Noble Larson,
of Abba, Iowa, these being children
of the only sister Mrs Larson was
the only one of the relatives who could
be here to attend the funeral

TREGo COUNTY A LITTLE SHORT

Word has been received from Red
cross headquarters for Trego county
ehat the allotment has not Deen reach
ed. The goal set was q total of 739
members To date the county is 137
members short. The standing is Wa
keeney district, 43O members; CoIlyer
"a and OgalIah 79. This leaves the
county 137 names short and the drive
is supposed to close today. A little
extra effort on the part of the work
ers will put the county to the good
and the drive ought not to be closed
until Saturday If it is necessary to
keep it open until that long in order
to get the names. If you are interest
ed in the Red Cross and its work, get
busy in your vicinity and help raise
the rest of the 137 names.

LOCUST CLUB ENTERrAns

The ladies of the Locust Club gave
their annual banquet to their hus-
bands at the home of AIr. and Mrs A.
s. Peacock at NWarnoak" corner last
Friday evening, which, as usual,
proved to be a very enjoyable affair
The committee in charge of the menu
did themselves proud and were ably
assisted by several club chefs who
prepared the two young turkeys and
all the other good things that go
with a feast of that kind After all
had done ample justice to a bounte-
GUS repast, and while the gentlemen
were enjoying their cigars, the club
artists slipped away to make up
for the evenings entertainment which
was presented at the home of Mr. and
Mrs A. H Blair on Easter Avenue,
where two rooms connected by wide
opening had been arranged, the one
as a stage and the other as an audi
toriun, the latter including ssbald
headed row" which, by the way, was
well filled long before the curtain
rose. When all was in readiness a
very realistic and efficient stage man
ager and director introduced his
Cor herr several famous artists un-
der foreign-sounding titles. All in all,
1T was the most formidable array of
talent ever assembled in WaKeeney
They were all there with bells on. !"
as well as other strange and unusual
attire Even the Katzenjammer kids
were IN evidence with their usual
pranks and their usual good luck.
Every number brought forth vigorous
applause and vociferous demands for
more of the same to which the
company" and it's several members
responded literally, prolonging the
program well into the evening. The
general verdict was nothing like it,
ever and several of the club has-
bands contemplate going con the the
road" and touring the country with
their accomplished wives
All camoufiage aside the ssentertain-
ment" was unique, and the guests
spent very enjoyable evening

PEFTTTONING FOR SCHOOL BOND
ELECTION

A petition is being circulated this
week praying the school board of
District No. L to call special cleo
ton for the purpose of voting upon
erecting a new school building. 1t
will take three hundred signers to the
petition before the board can call the
election but judging from the liberal
response shown those who are circu-
Iating the papers, the necessary num-
Der will be secured The desire is to
get things started now and have
things in shape for early work next
spring, provided the bonding PROPOSE
tion carries. The probabilities are
that a new building can be erected
much cheaper next year than it could
have been at any time for the last
several years.
