OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER Saturday. Oct 28, 1911 Eomment Politics is flourishing like measles jn a careless community. o-o-o Aigrettes may be barred in Wa- Keeney society, but the women are just as fascinating. o-o-o . Los Angeles is to have a sqnad of police on roller skates. They ought to be funny, if not very etiective. o-o-o A Topeka woman, attired in a hob ble skirt, took a kick at a dog. The World readers can imagine the rest, o-o-o Ducks in a Missouri post office " 'saved the place from being robbed, but they never will get as much ad vertising out of it as the geese that saved Rome. o-o-o" Boston is shocked because a well known young man married his nurse. Boston is the city that Benjamin Franklin moved away from when he started to grow up. o-o-o A year ago we were in the midst of politics. The Record, for one,wishes there was an election this year. David Ilarum said flees kept a dog from worrying about his troubles, and a lot of canditates buZiing about would keep a farmer from worrying about the wheat he didn't get. Gove Record. J. X. Tindal, just east of town, says he looked out across a piece of land lie had sown to wheat the other morning and it was brown and bare. The next morning he looked again and it was a blanket of green. The wheat had come up an inch in twenty-four hours Osborne Firmer. Yep! o-o-o A Chase county farmer saved her hogs from cholera by suspending bags of assafeotida from their necks. Nature has so arranged 1 that a hog cannot express a preference, but it is a safe bet that lie would stop and think it over if offered the choice of three things: Assafeotida, bacon and hog cholera. o-o-o A Manhattan womau got a divorce and half her husband's property be cause he kissed a 42-year-old Kansas City school teacher. It cost him over $15,000, and we hold that this obituary, - when the time comes, should contuin the word "philan thropist." To kiss a 42-year-old school teacher is Charity, and should be recognized as such, particularly in any case where it costs money, o-o-o Foreman Wanzer is advertising for three more section hands. We in terviewed a Mexican section hand and he said "Uh-huh" to every ques tion put to him, admitting that the Years for purity, 01 lanar, alum and Mexs had quit the job because they had been fired. If we had asked him if he had boutrht the U. P. he would ! probably have said "Uh-huh." Gove Record. o-o-o Gov. Woodrow Wilson is sweeping everything before him before the conventions are held. It was given out that the Kansas democratic edi tors were united and enthusiastlcfor Wilson and that they would endorse him at Wichitt. They endorsed for Champ Clark. Those who think that Governor Harmon of Ohio is out of the race are lacking in political dis cernment, for he is the strongest o? the Democratic possibilities. Wilson may be nominated but the chances are largely that he will not be. o-o-o "An East Side girk" says the Cherryvale Journal, "is sporting a beaver hat with a $15 willow plume. Uer mother, when she gets thru washing and ironing and cooking for a husband and six children, and sweeping and dusting and scrubbing and mowing the lawn, and helping the smaller children with their arith metic, her mother then, wears an old black veil over her uncurled locks and is glad to do it, because daughter looks so grand,'' , o-o-o A Kansas boy, son of parants whose wealth runs into six figures, came to Manhattan last week to enter col lege, says the Mercury of that city. Twenty-four hours after he was in town he had secured a job paying $1 a day. The job required that he wear overalls and a course blue shirt but that made no difference to him. In the same town there is a widow who supports her family by keeping boarders. She works hard from 6 in the morning until 10 at night. This widow has a big! able bodied son who puts in half his time sleeping and the rest of the time loafing about the house. lie seys there are no opportunities in this town for a young man. JUDGE RUPPENTHAL ON REVISION The proposal of Charles Sessions, secretary of state, that the Kansas statutes be codified is meeting with the approval of lawyers over the state. The laws have not been codi fied since 1868, tho an effort was made in 1879 to do so, but the legislature of that year did not approve of it. Juage J. c Kuppenthai or this ju dicial district, and one of the men who helped revise the civil code, and a member of the committee on the criminal code revision, in a letter to Mr. Sessions, makes many suggestions as to matters that could be worked out in a complete revision. He points out that in the laws relating to schools, bridges, probate courts, the insane and delinquent, surveyors, county officers, boundaries of dist rict courts, justice courts, cities, libraries and numerous other sub jects, that there is constant repition and changes that make the statutes burdensome and cumbrous. In one place a city of the first class is given right to do things and then the same section is repeated verbatum in an other part of the book relating to second and third class cities. The same is true of almost every chapter in the book, there is something in one section that is repealed in anoth er chapter on a different subject. Much of this could be removed with out abating one jot or title from the meaning or scope of the statutes. Judge Ruppenthal also suggests that the revision could clarify many sec tions by changing the reading. .Money: Money: .Money: on your iarms. hen you ant a loan on your farm call on the Wa-Keeney State Bank. 27 Read inside poges of the Worid day to- Conditions Are Good Jacob Mohler, of the state agricul tural department, who has been sent out in this section to investigate the agricultural conditions, says: "Western Kansas is developing and making a better percentage in an agricultural way than Eastern Kan sas. I have been visiting practically all the western counties from Garden City west and am now going over the counties from Norton west and I find the people making great improve ments in farming conditions and I believe on an average that the old settlers here today are better satisfied than those in the eastern part of the state." A Salve Spreader Henry Weill, a horse buyer from Lancaster, Pa., was in town Monday. He bought Ed Forney's black team for $250 and Squire Sherman's old sorrel 1 mare for $2.50. Sam Lengel says ; the mare was no colt thirty years ago. Mr. Weill is mostly Dutch and is a salve spreader' from away back. He came out here with out an overcoat and with no heavy clothing. He was wearing' a news paper in the front of his vest and said it kept the wind from getting to him as effectivly as a blanket would Gove County Record. Smart Guys Two weeks ago three Xess City boys got, too much tanglefoot down their gullett and meeting a man near Mont Zion, pointed a revolver at him with the order to throw up his hands Seeing they were drunk he drove on. Meeting another man they made him drink with them. Probably the boys regard this as a joke but if the law took hold of the matter and the boys punished perhaps the humor would be missing. Rules For Would-Be Brides Hot that the future brides of Wa Keeney and Trego county need any special advice on the matter do we print the following advice from a Chicago young lady an actoress, if you please: "If you contemplate marriage, do not accept a man because he has those beautiful eyes. Consider his fashion-plate dress. Mind if he has a wart on his nose. Above all, first learn if he is do mesticated.
