FREDRICY PASSES
BELT TO BAKER

A story told Thursday by John Bak-
er, who related a thrilling encounter
with a cougar on the Highway near
Herman creek the night before, result
ed in delegation of citizens calling on
Mr.. Baker Friday and presenting him
with the Championship Liars Belt, I"
relinquished by j. II. Fredricy, for
whom the belt was purchased in 1913
when he informed his fellow citizens
Of discovery of red, white and blue
lizard while out on a fishing trip.
Mr.. Fredricy made the presentation
speech. He recalled to Mr.. Baker
that the two were members of a GER
tain fraternal order, (The Elks), and
that it was a tenet of the organiza-
tion that the faults of brother should
be written in the sands. He then
asked Mr.. Baker to respond to certain
questions and tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
'Are your specifications as to the
cougars dimensions correct?" asked
Mr. Fredricy, "You state that it was
eight feet and nine inches long. Did
the cougar jump over your carlo did
the automobile jump over the cougar?
Your story is indefinite on this point.
Will you please also tell us how much
you exceeded the speed limit in getting
away from there?"
The presentation was attended by
members of the bar. bankers, Post
master Reavis, newspaper folk and
members of civic bodies. A poem
written for the occasion by r. C. Clan
vile was read. Mr.. Baker, when
called on to respond, maintained that |
his story of seeing the cougar was true
in all details. He and has family were
returning home from motor tour over
the Highway when the cougar. con-
fused by the spotlights. stopped in the
middle of the paving. The animal,
thought at first to have been dog,
was recognized for the terror of the
forests when Mr.. Baker was only about
40 feet away. Realizing the necessity
for quick action he applied all speed,
expecting to collide with the cougar.
The animal, however, leaped as the car
grazed him.

WHATS THE MATTER WITH
KANSAS7"

Only State in the Union That Does
not Give Aid in Building Roads
Kansas is the only. State in the
Union that does not build roads OF
aid in building roads This fact has
just been brought to light by an in
vestigation of all the States in the
Union relative to their activities in
road construction. There has been q
general impression that Kansas, Flor
ida and Georgia were the only States
that did not build or aid in building
roads.
Florida and Georgia, with all of the
other 45 States, are building roads,
and practically all of them are sup
plying their State road funds from
their automobile license fees. This
leaves Kansas alone os the only State
in the Union that does not aid her
people in the construction of high
ways.
The voters of Kansas will have an
opportunity on November End, to take
Kansas out of her lone position and
place her with all of her other Sister
States by amending the constitution
and permitting the State to pay 25 %
of the cost of permanent roads in
each county.
If Kansas voters fail to ratify this
step for the 'Sunfower State" in the
Amendment it will mean a backward
matter of road building while every
other State in the Union will be max
ing rapid strides in the way of high
way improvement, with State roads
or State Aid roads. Every Kansan
and every friend of Kansas should
get interested in this proposition and
see that Amendment No. 3 is adopted
by an overwhelming majority on cleo
ton day.

KANSAS STATE FARM BUREAU


Manhattan, Kans., Sept. 3O.-At a
meeting of the presidents and seere-
taries of state farm bureaus of the
middle west, held here September 21-
p, steps were taken for perfecting
a plan whereby the farmers of this sec
ton may market their own live stock.
By the plan outlined, they hope to
eliminate heavy gluts and sharp
fluctuations at the principal markets.
It was agreed that the first step
should be the establishment of county
cooperative shipping associations. 1t
is planned to have each county assoc
lation employ a manager, whose duty
it would be to list the live stock ready
for shipment, make up the loads, and
ship. The cost of operation would be
distributed among the shippers ac-
cording to the amount of live stock
shipped. Representatives from prac-
tically every state at the meeting told
of the success of shipping associations
in their state. It was pointed out that
a more uniform method of organiza-
ton for these county associations is
needed, and committee was appoint
ed to outline such plans and report at
the next meeting.
The advisability Of establishing live
stock commission firms at stock yards
in the middle west was also discussed.
II. D. Lutte, secretary of the Nebraska
Farm Bureau Federation, told of the
success of the Farmers Union COM
mission firm at Omaha. During the
past six months, he said, this cooper
ative firm has done more business
than any other in the Omaha yards,
and has returned to the shippers 65
per cent of all the commissions
charged. Mr.. E. E. Woodman, of the
Farmers Union commission company
at Kansas City, also told of the ex-
periences of the cooperative commits
sion company started there.
The main object in recommending
this action is not to save money on
commissions, either by the shipping
association or the commission firm,
but to be in position to regulate the
flow of stock to the principal markets,
with the view of stabilizing prices
and putting the producers in a posi-
ton to realize the full value of their
product.
j. H: Mercer, secretary of the Kan
sas Live Stock Association, who was
called upon for advice In the matter,
stated that he favored any action
which would better live stock market
ing conditions, but warned those pres
ent that such plan would take time
and could not be worked out in six
months or a year.
The states represented had already
taken action at a former meeting to
make a quarterly survey of the live
sock and feed in order to be able to
know how much stock is likely to be
seeking the market at any period dur
ing the year.
The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton will call conference OF all live
stock associations early In October,
to outline some definite plan to sta
Billie the live stock market. A COM
mittee, similar to the national grain
marketing COMMITTEE OF II" prob
ably will be appointed.

NOT ACCIDENTAL

The result in Maine was no acct
dent.
It was the result of intelligent
study of the issues and honest, pa
triotic political organization work.
No feature of the great victory
was more gratifying than the demon
stration Of the dependability of the
women in this national crisis. It
proves the wisdom of suffrage.
The Republican workers of Maine
have looked upon their political ser
vice as matter of patriotic duty;
for months every opportunity has
been given for fullest participation
by the Republican women, though
they did not yet have the franchise.
The lesson of the Maine election is
the splendid example it sets for all of
US.
The work of the rest of us is not in
Maine now, but in our own precincts.
The Maine victory loses its signi-
icance unless because of it we are
enabled to go to our own work with
renewed vigor and enthusiasm.
Organize for victory.
Let there not be a moments hest
tation.
This year we must have a ''school
house" campaign. Everybody agrees
that the extent of the Republican vic
tory will be measured in direct pro-
portion to the knowledge on the part
of the people of the facts. The way
to make this certain is not only to
organize every vote in every pre-
cinct, as we are planning to do, but
also have educational "school house"
meetings. Most earnestly urge each
precinct committeeman TO arrange at
once their "school house" meetings.
Take it up with the equity chairman
insist on the county chairman pro-
viding local speakers. The precinct
committeeman can make the success
of the meetings certain.

A former Wilson ambassador. Lee
Merriweather, in France, is puzzled.
He says in part:
"The presidents league commits
America to meddling in the affairs OF
the old world in other dangerous
ways. Only recently the president
demanded that we undertake a "Man-
datet" for Armenia. Mr.. Wilson op-
timistically thinks that $4,000 Amer
lean soldiers mad 7O0,000,0OO Amer
lean dollars will see the mandate
through; military experts say it will
require at least 100000 soldiers and
several billion dollars. Men may SYM
pathize with Armenia, as they should
sympathize with all oppressed peo-
pies. But America can best serve
mankind, as well as itself, by contin-
uing to offer the world shining ex-
ample of a great, happy, free repub-
lie. If we fritter away our strength
policing nations at the end OF the
earth, we shall destroy ourselves with
out helping the world.

amazing policies proposed by the
statesman whom I twice supported
for the presidency. And now, added
