IjEWISo GRAPHIC A iTliJC THEIR SECOND ANNUAL CONCERT i WHO'LL BE OWNER OF FLEETA? the western pari of th? slat, should INDUSTRIAL CLUB ENTERTAINS money to hold bond elections had he not known that he. would build here if the bonds were voted. The fact is that all we have'to do at the present time is to take it easy while Mr. Byers sweats, he is the man who is doing the work.

The Ford Truck. The Watson Garage Company has a Ford auto truck that seems likely to much of the heavy hauling that has heretofore been done by horses. It was recently given a very good test. Two trips were made from the Weyrich ranch, 14 miles north of town. On the first trip the load was 51 bushels of wheat, the second was 56.

In each case the trip to this city was made in one The truck is'geered 15 miles, en these trips all hills but one were' taken on the high. The transmission plan is very simple. The hind axle of a regu-ular Ford car has sprockets instead of wheels. Just back of these sprockets and connected by chain drive are ine truck wheels. This gives the neoersary extension for the truck.

hauling at 15 miles per hour sounds pretty good to those who have been using horses and making only four miles. D. L. Heath paid a premium for the first load, and C. C.

Sterrctt for the second, es this was the first wheat to come to market by motor truck. STEADILY COMES THIS WAY Aid Nothing But Unfavorable Weather Will Lessen Its Progress. O. P.0Byers, president of the A. railroad, was here Monday to meet with the county, commissioners and arrange to have his Frank- Jin Township bonds delivered to him as soone as the track is laid to the line of Franklin, He stated that the track was laid to the 0west 'line of that town- ship and that grading gangs' were at work in "Brown.

When asked regarding the varieus stories in circulation regarding work on the road 0 he disclaimed responsibility for them but "You may say in the Graphic, that we to build west towards oKinsley as rapidly as the weather wiH permit and that nothing will crause us to suspend this work, tfut the weather; every day tBat we can work will see us pushing towar8s lie also stated that heexpeocted to begin wcrk at Lamed in a "few days and push south from that point, but that this had nothing to do with the jvork tfiat was being done on the line to Kinsley, that the work was to be puShed on both lines. When the suggestion was -offered that it would probably be mid-summer before hjslin3 oreaclied Kinsley, he hooted thejdea, and said. that he expected to 0havoe into this city long before that, but added that there were so many contingen-' cies to reckon with that he would not want to lie quoted as fixing ever an appr8ximate0 time for 0 reaching this) place. He stated that regular train service0 was now inaugurated between Fellsburg and Pratt, with one train a dayoeach way The train turns at Trousdale and backs to Fellsburg, arriving at 2 p. raD, leaving at 2.13 on thereturn 0trip, gain favorable attent on at once, Mrs.

DeTar upset tis automobile Thursday night and gave an exhibition cf the very r.arrow line that separates the conim sr. place fron tragedy. He turned the corner at Johnson's, just east cf town, and by the time his circl? of light' came around to where it show-ed the road ha was right up hqrse an i buggy. He a supreme effort to turn out- far enough to pass, but he too clcse. The wheels were ripped off of -one side of vhe buggy ar.d automobile-turned over with the doctor on the under tide.

The engine was runnir.g. the presto light, and the gas from the tank was flooding everything. If a apark had struck teat, free gas we all know what would have happened. While the doctor was making a hasty inventory- of the good dteds and otherwise in. tis pst life, Vernon Johnson, who with wife been in the buggy, came to his assistance and turned off the lights and motor, leaving the Dafe from fire as well cs firmly fixed under the car.

Mr. Johr.on was unable to lift the car and so went to his home and procured assistance. When- released the dorter found that he was not seriously hurt," but pretty badly bruissd, but wis able to attend to h's usual duties the following day, and also to give expert' advice as to how to conduct an automobile safely arcund corners en. a dark night. CoHidc.

This ssems to be the open season for automobile accidents, in fact they are getting so common that the average citizen will hardly stop in passing unless scrmecne chances to be hurt. Sunday afternoon a collision took place at the intersection of Eighth Street and Niles Avenue, in this two blocks eouth of the Graphic office. Lee Smith w3s coming from the couth and ycung Van Valkenberg, of Lewis, was coming from the east, Smith was a little, ahead in reaching the crossing and Van bumped him ani both cars shot into the ditch side by side. The Lewis car -was not injured materially and soon pulled out. Mr.

Smith's car did not fare so well and while it was able to goto the shop under its own power it went limping, with the front wheels trying to turn out in oppo site directions. Mr. Van Valken- berg came into town Monday and fixed things up with Mr. Smith sat isfactorily. It is about time that eome one organized a safety first auto club, Again Breaks Arm.

Harold Riisc-e has again broken his arm cranking a car. He broke the same arm in the same place and in the' same way as last year, the only difference is that a year has efapced and its a new car. He has been fixed up and is" getting along all right. He will only be our of school a few days, but it will be necessary for someone to bring him to school, Farmers, Attention.

Market today: corn 59c. wheat $1.05 and Same Boy or Girl Will Get This llandson Pony for a Little Work. the first prize Shetland pony in the Kinsley Graphic and Kansas Farmer Shetland pony contact came all the way d'ini from jeka last Thursday to New Vc rs in Kinsley am-- a many young boys and irls, all of whom would like to own her.

"Fleeta" was one of the nicest Shetland ponies shown at the Topeka State Fair last fall and whoever gets her and the pretty four-wheeled runabout and nickle-mounted harness will have just about the nicest pony outfit in all the State of Kansas. All the boys' and girls in Edwards County are invited to come and see "Fleeta" and have a ride. She is four years old and about 42 inches high and has the prettiest black coat you ever saw. She likes apples, candy and most everything that boys and girls like and has come to stay in Edwards County. Who.

will get her? That is the question. She is well worth working for all the time' during this short contest. EASY TO C1KT SUBSCRIPTIONS It is going to be eisy for the boys and girls who have started in the Graphic and Kansas Farmer Shetland pony contest to get subscriptions. Both of these papers are well known and already have many subscribers and both new and old subscriptions alike count. It seems that the boys and girls have been wanting some Shetland ponies for some time for there is very much enthusiasm in this contest and the Pony Editor nsver had a more aggressive, brighter group of youngsters desiring to get a Sh3tland pony.

GEi' STAIlTi.D ItlUHT AWAY This is about the last opportunity you will have of getting started because already most cf the boys and girls have gotten over their. Christmas and New Year's celebrations, and have sscured promises of subscriptions from their friends. Nothing is gained by holding back. The boy or girl who gets the highest number of votes for subscriptions secured to the Graphic and Kansas Farmer will win "Fleeta" the first prize pony, a fine young mare. She arrived last Thursday.

"Fleeta" is one of the finest young Shetlands in all this state; She is four years old and is thoroughly broken to ride and drive. The buggy and harness is here and the other two Shetland ponies will be here lon before the end of the contest. The thing to do now is just to get all the subscriptions yen can and be the. highest one in the contest and get a good start when the weather is nice and the roads are good and it is easy to get subscriptions.
