THE ONhY DKMUCKATIU I'AI'KH IN
WKI18TKH COUNTY
In order to correct a report which
was circulated curlier In the week by
our esteemed contemporary, we an
nounce tlmt the Smith fmnlly re-union
occurred on Snnday evening instead
of Saturday overling, unit Unit the
Invitations were issued nud the- enter
tainment managed by the city martihal
Instead of tlie sheriff, as erroneously
stated.
Two uew members have been added
to the board of county commissioners
Mr. Win, IhiffmHti from the north
west district and Mr. Floyd McCull
who takes the place of G. W. Hummel.
The new members go into ofllce with
th knowledge that they have the con
fidence of the people of the county.
They are both men of prudence and
ability.
The local merchant can till your
orders and save you money uudcr the
new Parcels Post delivery system, be
cause he is in the first Go mile zone
and can gt a much better rate and
besides this he can Mil your order and
deliver it at least a week quicker.
Customers will also have the advan
tage of trading with people they
know and can return any article that
proves unsatisfactory for exebauge.
The P. Ef. O.'a have furnished the
reading room of the Y. M. O. A. with
magazines and ourreut literature.
Tbe Ladles Clio Club has donated
more than fifty volumes for tbe library.
With this as a start we trust that the
good work will go on and that In a
short time we will have a city library
suitable to our needs. It needs but a
little of the push and enthusiam which
was used in the installation of the
young men's organization to, make u
city library possible. Other towns
much smaller than this have tluu
buildings mill good libraries und Hed
Cloud should not lag behind.
The new furniture for the Chaiuhur
of Commerce bus arrived und it will bo
but a short time until that body will
be installed into the new quarters ami
then we expect Unit business will com
mence. We believe that one of tho
first things for this organization to do
is to take steps that will lead to the
erecting of that much talked of new
court house. Wo have interviewed a
number of the tux-payers of the coun
ty atid we are tlruily convinced that if
our commercial club would act with
tbe commeiciul clubs of the other
towns of the county this enterprise
would be h success. If each town
would appoint one man to uct us a
board of building this board would
have no difficulty in satisfying the
people of the county that equal repre
sentation would be bad. This board
should have tbe entire control of the
erection of the building under an
agreement with the board of coutity
commissioners.
rumble Weed
Makes Long Journey
The following article we clipped
from one of our exchanges, and while
we do not vouch for It being an ab
solute fact, it occurred over in the
great statu of Kamiis, and in any
event it Is interesting:
Travelers in the Kansas plains
country pften have marveled at the
speed with which tumble weeds are
swept over the prairie before a wind,
rolling along liken ball. That these
weeds sometimes travel hunrdeds of
miles before they are stunned has
been proved many times.
Last October, (Jus Woodull, who lives
In llighpoiiit Township, near Dszlne,
was walking across bis pasture when
a particularly large tumble weed came
rolling over the prairie past him. He
stopped it, wondering how far it had
traveled before It reached him, and
how much farther it would go before
it was again stopped. In an effort to
find out be took a card from his pocket
and wrote on it:
"Baziue, Kau., Oct. SB, 1012. I am
starting this thing out to see just bow
far it will go; if you. see anything of
it let me know where it stopped
Qus Woodall.'' .
Woodall set the tumble weed rolling
again and forgot all about it until a
few days ago, when, in a high south
wind, he was walking across his pas
ture on his way to town. He noticed
something bounding over tbe ground
that looked like a bundle of sticks
When It came near him be stopped it
with his foot, and found it was a
tumble weed much worn, evidently by
long travel. He was about to-throw it
down again, when be noticed a dut
covered caid tied to the main stern.
Taking it off, he found the card con
tained a message for him, which read:
"Galveston, Tex., Nov. 20. (Jus
Woodall, liuzine, Kan.: You miser
able sonufagun, keep your large and
extensive amaranthus albus, vulgarly
know as tumbleweed, where it be
longs; we'll have none of it.
Ross Calhoun."
Woodall swears the tumble weed is
the same he started on its journey to
the (lulf almost u mouth before, und
he brought the tumble weed, with
Calhoun's curd on It to town with him
to prove, that it had uiuile the 2000-
mile trip to the (Julf Coast and back
"1 will swear it's the same if neces
sary," boldly declared Woodall.
Paying The Freight
It Is true that the "consumer pays
the freight in the long run, but the
uew parcels post law Is going to make
It very much more convenient for
country buyers to get what they want
delivered than heietofore, even If they
will have to pay for it. All live mer
chants ate tailing advantage of the
parcels post to do a mail order parcel
business and mske it twy to send to
town for what is wanted. This home
mail order business will In time de
stroy the big mall order houses in the
big city. Up to this time, these have
had the field practically in the mail
order business. The home merchant
has not been prepared especially to in
vite this trade though he has taken
care of such as came. Under the new
parcels post law, we predict that the
big mail order bouses will have such
competition as they never dreamed of.
They are the oues that have been most
urgent for a parcels post, and now that
it has came, we fully believe that it
will be their undoing. Heretofore
they have been alone in tbe mail order
field, while now every merchant will
be a competitor for mail order busi
ness. Adams County Democrat.
It Can Be Done

tbe Kansas City Times, will show you

Omaha, Neb., Jan. llJth. A bill to

ing the state has been drafted by

turial Association and the State Asso
ciation of Commercial Clubs. The
bill is based ou the state development
and provides for a Nebraska Develop
ment and Public Welfare Commission

tue of their positions tho Governor,
the Chancellor of the University, tbe
ohalrmau of the Industrial Committee
of the Board of Regents, the Director
of the Conservation Soil Survey, and
the Secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture. These men are empow
ered to appoint four other members at
large for terms of oae year and to se
cure such ofllce help as is necessary,
and to appoiut such sub committees as
Is needed.
Seotiou 3 says "The purpose of said
commission is to aid in tbe develop
ment of the state arid to secure for the
citizens the highest economic and soc
ial welfare arid to give publicity to the
advantages of the resources of the
state; and to aid in the occupancy and
development of the unoccupied lauds."
The duties of the commission shall

clusions from these facts; to publish
and make public these facts; und thru
tlie power of publicity to promote the
development and resources of the
state for the purpose of aiding and bet
tering the conditions of its citizens.
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he, with a chuckle, replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but be would
be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried..
So he buckled right In, with the trace
of a grin
On bis face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to slug as be tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, yon'll never
do that:
At least no one ever has done it "
Hut he took oft his coat and he took
off bis bat.
And tbe first thing we knew he'd be-,
gun It;
With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a
grin,
Without any doubting or quiddlt;
He started to sing as he tuckled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it can
not be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;
Therc'tire thousands to point out to
you, one by one, "
The dangers that wait to assail yon;
Bui just buckle in with a bit of a grin.
Then take oif your coat and go to ,it;
Just start, in to sing as you tackle ,t'he
thing
That "can uot be done," and you'll
do it.
