Monkeys Mourned cOmrade.

Monkeys are very human in their

skillful in their rude surgery. An At

male monkey that was shot by one Of

Several of the tribe of which she was
q member came as close to the tent
where her body was lying as they
dared, holding out their arms and
making mournful cries, as If begging
that she should be given back to them.
Then a gray old man monkey, prob

EVA HIxsoN WINS 500 PRIZE

During the last year there has been
conducted by the Kansas Live Stock
Association contest among fifty
seven boys and girls of Kansas for
prizes offered by the association and
its friendly adherents. The object of
the contest was to secure members
for the association in Kansas and a
certain number of votes were allowed
for each membership received. The
Kansas Live Stock Association is
Americas greatest live stock organi-
zation both in point of influence and
membership and its growth in 1920
exceeded that OF any previous year.
Thirty-three pure bred pedigreed an
imals were offered prizes in this
contest which closed at the annual
convention held at Salina Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last week
The standing of the contestants was
published each month in The Kansas
Stocknan, the official publication of
the association. According to the list
showing the standing the first day of
February Miss Eva Hixson, of Wa
keeney, was at the bottom of the
ffty-seven with only 1000 votes.
When the contest closed and the votes
were counted Miss Eva was found to
have advanced to position number
eleven. Some jump for sixteen days
work. She did it in this way. Here
tofore there has been but fifteen mem
bers of the Association in Trego
county but now there are eighty She
went after the stock raisers of Trego
county and sixty-fve of them re-
sponded and Joined the association
through her efforts. She did not de-
eide to enter the contest until about
three weeks ago, but Notwithstanding
the late start she made a good run
and landed one of the top prizes
which was a snow white, nine months
old registered Shorthorn heifer calf
This calf comes from the J. C. Robin
son herd at Towanda, Kansas, and
after all the shipping and buffeting
around weighed $40 pounds upon it's
arrival at the Hixson farm at Wa
Keeney- It is valued at 500.
The greater number of the prizes
were won by Western Kansas boys
boys and girls The first prize went
to Sharon Springs, the second to Ness
City, the third to Salina, Others to
Garden City, Dighton, etc, Miss Hix-
son ranking eleventh.

CHAMPION COYOTE HUNTERS

Until there is evidence that some
one else has done better work we
will give the title of Champion Coy
ote hunters of Trego County to Judd
and Goldie Anderson and Frank Clark,
all of Ogallah township. We grant
this title the fact that on Tuesday
these gentlemen appeared at the
county clerks Office with ffty-nine
coyote hides and ears and claimed the
state bounty them. There We're
ffty-one full hides in this bunch and
only eight scalps and ears This is
the largest collection OF coyote scalps
presented at any one time in many
years and probably the largest in the
history of the county. Eighteen of
them were claimed by Judd Anderson,
twenty-three by Goldie Anderson and
eighteen by Frank Clark. The boys
killed these coyotes in Trego county
during the last few months and have
done their hunting with dogs. To
them justly belongs the title of
champion Coyote Hunters of Trego
County, until someone can present
enough scalps to take the belt away
from them.

W Az keSney, Kansas, Feb Il, 1871.
The Western Kansas world
WaKeeney, Kansas
Dear Sirs:
In the last issue of your paper was
an article headed" Interesting to Tel
ephone Patrons,'' which refers to
propaganda concerning the telephone
company. In turn we wish to correct
some of the propaganda of the Wa
Keeney Telephone Company.
It states that the chief commodity
we have to sell has increased ia value
100 per cent in the last four years.
Taking our three leading products,
wheat corn and cattle, the following
gives the average prices for the
United States at the dates given.
(Report of Secretary Of Agriculture.)
Wheat-January /, 1917, $1.5O3;
January 1, 1921, $1-4e2; Decrease lie
per bushel- Corn--January 1, 1917;
80; January L, 1921, SGT; Decrease,
23.3c per bushel. Beef cattle, Decen-
Der Is, 1916, 6.56; December Is, 1921,
6-3s; Decrease .1se per pound.
The above shows a decrease in
prices, instead of the 100 per cent in
crease claimed by Mr.. COTE.
In regard to cost Of operation, our
cost OF labor has risen over 100 per
cent in the last four years, cost of
material and equipment at least 100
per cent, all this On record price for
our principal products.
Can any fair minded man expect
us to submit willingly to increases in
the prices of commodities we have to
buy, while the prices of what we have
to sell are still on the decline?
Yours truly,
G.. r. Mccall

TWO BIG DOLLAR DAYS

The dollar day sale held by the
merchants of WaKeeney last Friday
and Saturday were a success and
proved to be two good business days.
AS a rule the business men are salts
fed with results. The weather was
not the best but it was-not stormy
and good crowd was in town both
days and especially on Saturday.
Many people who are not in the habit
of coming to WaKeeney to trade were
here on Saturday. That is one OBJ
ject in conducting these sales, to ex-
pand the regular trade territory of
WaKeeney. The streets were literal
ly lined with automobiles on both
sides throughout the business dis
trlcts and if such crowds become
regular for every Saturday it win be
necessary to make some arrange
ment for caring for the autos.

The people living in the vicinity of

great pleasure OF listening to an en-
tertainment last Friday evening Civ
en- by talent from FIT. Hays Normal.
Those representing the Normal were
of the faculty and were induced to
come there by Miss lone Kraus who
is teaching the Prairie Home school
this term The delegation was com
posed of Mr. and Mrs H. E. Malloy,
vocalists and violinist, Mrs. Lee, a
reader, Mr.. Roberts, a pianist. Each
member of the company is an instruc-
tor and an artist in his or her chosen
line and the program rendered was
far better than people living in the
country generally have the privilege
of hearing at their own home. The
party and Miss Kraus were enter
tanned at an o'clock dinner by Mrs

BIGGEST SALE IN WESTERN
KANSAS

What was the largest sale occurr-
ing in western Kansas for many years
was the S. L. Burnett sale of person
al property which took place near
Park in Cove county Tuesday of this
week and for which NJ. w Mason, of
WaKeeney, was the chief auctioneer.
Mr.. Mason informs US that there We're
five hundred autos and other vehicles
on the farm and the crowd amounted
to nearly three thousand people. The
sale had been extensively advertised
and buyers were present from several
counties in this part OF Kansas. They
went there to buy and the bidding was
good. Ordinary good farm horses
sold at from two hundred to three
hundred dollars per pair and farm
machinery brought a good price.
The whole sale will amount to prac-
tically 10000 and a remarkable fea-
ture of it will be that fully seventy
five per cent of it will be cash. The
story of the success of Mr. Burnett as
beyond belief, yet he came to the vi
-cinity of Quinter six or seven years
ago practically a poor man but with
some family help and a determination
to make it go. He hit the wheat bus
mess hard and was successful. He re-
tired from his big farming as one of
the rich men of Cove county
