ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FARM
DEMONTRATION WORK
M v
To add a little friendly compet*-
tion to demonstration work and to
\ prompt those engaged lu doing the
work to plant good, pure seed, -lo
early, deep fall breaking of land, and
follow with the proper after treat-
ment of their aolla, we are offering
some email prises for the coming
year. We are offering personally
these prises, but the banks of the
county wishing to show theSr ap-
preciation and endorsement of the
work we are doing, asked to be al-
llowed the privilege of giving these
money prizes. The Guarantee State
Bank. Dublin. Is offering through us.
120 In gold to the person who pro-
duces the most lint cotton on five
acres of land, the lint being the pro-
duct that brings the money. The Dub-
lin National bank la offering thrugh
us $20 In gold to the person who pro-
duces the most feed on*flve acres of
land, two and one-half acres to he
planted to corn and two and one-half
scree, to be plant to Milo Malse. We
are placingmaize on an equality with
corn lor this county, in other words if
a man was going to plant ten acres
In feed we would say plant five acres
In maize and five acres In corn. Do
sot understand us to say that these
are the only feed crops for this coun-
try. for there are other good ones. The
ones doing the best on the least
amount of moisture fs the ones to
plant.
There are no chargee whatever to
enter the above contest, the only con-
dition is that the contestant must be
on our Hat as either a demonstrator
;.V
with another year. We do not wish to
leave an impression that we do not
want the methods we advocate carried
out throughout the entire crop, or that
they would not be practlcaPtn same,
but If the methods are started on a
smaller acreage, they will more likely
he carried out and a demonstration
made of their worth and on the next
crop there will be no trouble in get-
ting them^carried out ou all the acres
cultivated. If you wish to line up
with us, simply send your name and
addreza, together with the kind of

•hat. made the arrest.
The railroad president was arraign-
ed before Uiilted States Commissioner
O. Q. Clsflln. He waived a prelim-
inary hearing and hit case was set for
the January term of the federal court.
In default of bond, which was fixed
at $15,000, Miller was taken to the
Wyandotte county Jail. Only two meals
are served dally at the Jail and he
was too late for the combination
luncheon-dinner which la given to
the prisoners at 4 o’clock. He had
only $8.75 and when the officials sug-
gested that he send out tor his sup-
per, he declined, saying, **I am too
poor."
Miller Is forty-eight years old and
has a wife and three children Itvlng
In Sallna. Kan. He says he was Chi-
cago * Northwestern railway engin-
eer before becoming a president. He
denies the qtatemen$~of postofflee In-
spectors that be served a term for
sending obscene matter through the
malts.
The railway of which Miller Is pres-
ident exists, ed'far, only on paper.
Only a few miles of the proposed road
have been surveyed. In spite of this
fact the government alleges that he
and hla associates have obtained
thousands of dollars from individuals
and mercantile organizations, who re-
ceive nothing In return, not even as
much aa worthless stocks and bonds.
The northern terminus of the road,
the prospeotua states, was to be in
Winnipeg. Canada; the southern ter-
minus on the Gulf of Mexico near Gal-
veston. The promoters started their
surveys from the little town of Turon,
Kan. And the headquarters of the com-
pany were in Celtna. They were lux-
uriously fitted with maaeive furniture
and the business was carried on with
all the precision of a great corpora-
tion.
The headquarters have been close J
for eeveral months, however, and have
been In the hands of Marshal, Harri-
son. The owner of the building has
a claim In court for rente due since
last March, and a New York company
which made a survey of part of the
line, haa obtained a receivership to
assure payment of a debt exceeding
$50,000.
The projected railroad was Incor-
porated under the Kansas laws In
July 1810. Miller has been president
since the organization. Hp Is Charged
with having used the malls to repre-
sent that the stock was very valuable,
and with assuring prospective pur-
chasers that his company had made
arrangements with a syndicate in
London. England, for the sale of $39,-
897.000 of the bonds.

THE BEAL SNEED CASE
BEFORE COURT 01 APPEALS
The cam of ex parte John Beal
Sneed Is with the court of criminal
appeals at Austin. William F. Ramsey
completed an appeal to the court for
the relearn of Sneed and the over-
ruling of the decision of District
Judge Browning refusing Sneed ball.
The case waa then taken under ad-
visement.
The argument In the case waa large-
ly on points of law. The relator'*
council took the position that outrage*
committed on the family of Sneed by
Al Boyce Jr., were such as to ren-
der Sneed Incapable of cool reflection.
They denied that be should be re-
fused bell, for they lonleted that there
wsa evidence before the court o* each
a cbaractet that it mast clearly be
bailable. The ‘ prosecution
Reports from Waco indicate that
never before thus far In advance of
the opening date have preparations
for the big Cotton PalaCe been per-
fected to such an extent as this year,
and there is no longer any doubt that
the 1912 show will be far ahead of
any previous effort. When Governor
Colquitt presses the button that will
start the palace in operation at 7
o’clock on the evening of November
2nd, the Cotton Palace will be aa
complete and perfect a show as It will
be a week later when in full blast.
The absence of conflicting dates, the
promise of railroads to "go the limit"
as regards low rates, the bumper
crops — everything tends toward
clinching the belief that the Waco
Cotton Palace will be the meeting
grounds for the whole of central and
west Teas* In the early days of Nov-
ember.
Aside from the usual exhibit fea-
tures, the directors of the Palace have
made arrangements to make the “War
Path’’ a carnival ptke such as has
never before been seen In Texas.
Kryl's famous band, which has been
playing in the White City at Chicago,
the Patterson carnival shows the
village of genuine Waco Indiana, sev-
eral free attractions of a high order
—these and many other features al-
ready have been arranged ter and
the directors are determined to make
the amusement end of the Cotton Pal-
ace one of its main drawing cards.
The giant roller coaster or, "fig-
ure eight" Is now In course of con-
struction. This amusement devloe is
a genuine thriller, such as are found
in the largest summer parks in the
United States. It Is said that while
j absolutely eafe in every way, title
Bluff ride gives the closest spproach to an
aeroplane of anything that has been
Invented.
Waco will don mardi grau raiment*
for the occasion and one of the at-
tractions will be the full-fledged car-
nival which will be the feature on
the “‘War Path" each night.
The Cotton Palace dates la Novem-
ber 2nd to 17th, inclusive.

INDICTMENT FOB FORGE BY
Sheriff Waltrip returned Sunday
night torn Weatherford with Jinx
Brown, Indicted last week by the
grand Jury on a charge of forgery.
The alleged offence waa commlted
last May. a forged check being passed
on J. B. Wilson. But Utile atten-
tion was paid to the party giving the
check and by the time the forgery
was discovered his description wise
rather vague in the minds of those
he deslth with. Mr. Waltrip took the
matter up and at last found a slight
clue, which he followed closely Anal-
ly secured enough evidence upon which
to secure an Indictment, and we un-
derstand Brown haa been fully Iden-
tified aa the party giving the check.—
