Departed
On July 17 at 3:00 p. m., at his
home twenty miles south-east of
Meade, the soul of Martin Buck
took its flight to the Great Un
known. In his death bis wife has lost
a faithful companion, bis child
ren a loving father, his neigh
bors an exemplary neighbor; bis
friends a true friend, and Meade
county one of her most highly
respected citizens.
Martin Buck was born in Ben
ton county Missouri, June 12,
1858, and from there moved to
Lafayette County where on
August 28tb, 1882 be was mar
ried to Miss Rebecca Eckboff.
To tbis union seven children
were born, five, boys, and t two
girls, six of whom are living.
In 1886 Mr Buck came to this
county and located on his pres
ent farm, southeast of Meade,
and where he has continuously
resided. He came when the
place was little more than a wil
derness, was faithful in' doing
his share in developing it, and
remained to see it munbered
among the banner counties of
the state.
He is survived by bis wife, two
daughters, Mrs. Wm. Cordes,
and Mrs. Geo. Boebling, both of
Uneda, and four sons, Ed, Ben,
Ormond, and Albert, and one
sister, Mrs. Mary Wuerdeman,
of Pittsburg, Kansas.
Funeral services were held at
the German Lutheran ' churcb,
south, of Meade, this Thursday
morning and interment made in
the Stone School Cemetery.
Miss Nellie Lawson leftSatur-
day for a month's stay with rela-
tives in the eastern part of the i
state.

You Can't Eat Advice
The big businessmen of the
state have gotten wise to the fact
that the farmer is willing to do
his share for his country, but
needs co-operation more than ad
vice, so tbey are going to make
their money take the very same
chance as the farmer's money
and labor, and invest it in a big
seed-wheat pool on a fifth-crop
share basis, so as to make it pos
sible for the farmer to put out i
bigger acreage than he now has
seed for.
There is no charity about it.
It is a plain business icvestment
and a big co-operative plan. If
the farmer loses the investor
loses. If the farmer wins the
investor wins, and the boys in
the trenches won't have to eat
hot air, even if wheat and bread
do come high
Wheat Will Be High Nxt Year
You can't get around it, some
thing like thirty million men
have been taken from farming
and other productive occupa
tions and are fighting. Other
milliods of men, women, and
children have been taken from
thi farms and are making mu
nitions and other war supplies.
Even in Germany, France, and
other European countries, where
theneed of food is sogreat, farm
land is lying idle for want of
workers. This can have but one
result: high prices.
,The world wheat supply is
about two-thirds of the demand.
The long-headed, far-t-eeiDg man
knows wnat is coming just as
sore as fate, and be is going to
grab old man Opportunity by
tbe front hair, or coat-tails, or
any place be can get a hold and
hog-tie him. He is going to sow
all the wheat' be can lay his
hands on.
The farmers are going to get
good prices for wheat next year.
Figures talk. You can't repeal
tbe law of supply and demand.

month's stay with tbeir mother,
Mrs. Florence Walter.
The following, taken from tbe
Hritchtnson Gazette,' regarding
Otero Beeson, who is recruiting
the second regiment band, will
be of interest to many of our
readers: "Beeson was jubilant
over acquiring one of tbe finest
band instruments in tbe country
while in Colorado. It is a Cer
veny Helton Bass. ' It will be
played by Don Innis who enlisted
here. There is no instrument
in any army band in tbe country
so fine, Beeson declares."
Dry Spell Broken
It is needless to say that every
one feels better since tbe recent
rains, and it is hoped that the
long dry spell is at an end. Dur
ing iheearly hours Sunday morn
ing 4-10of an inch of rain felland
Tuesday evening between six
and six thirty another 7-10 of an
inch was added. The rain, while
not general, will do much good.
A three inch ram was repott
ed in the south part of the coun
ty last Saturday.
Row crops would be benefitted
by rain.

! The Kansas Council of De-
fense is going to buy two million
bushels of seed wheat to be put
outon a fifth share. If you want
some of it, inquire of your coun
ty committee which is being

1918 Will Be a Bumper Year
Kansas records for the past
twenty years show there have
never been two wheat failures,
in succession, and in almost ev
ery cases failure has been fol
lowed by a bumper crop. This,
is due to sound scientific causes.
Everything points one way. 1918.
