On A Still Hunt.
Last Saturday Hon. W. T. Clark
held a reception in the Patriot of-
fice and met many friends who were
going and coming from the Court
House paying taxes. We noticed
that he made a couple of trips him-
self to the Court House, but we
suspicioned nothing; in fact none of
the Patriot force suspicioned any-
thing wrong—and there was not
anything wrong—but before he left
town he secured a marriage license
to wed Miss Maude Feely whose
home is also in Manchester.
Mr. Clark told us he was not ex-
pecting many Christmas Lifts but
he seemed to have a worried expres-
sion on his countenance and his
conversion drifted on different
things and he ready did not appear
at his best, We accused him of
matrimony but he denied
about the trees will hold the frost
in the ground for a great length of
time and as long as it holds the
frost there the trees will not bloom
By the time it is warm enough for
the frost to get from under that
manure, there is no further danger
of frost in the air.
Another advantage is, that where
that manure is used, you will have
no weeds about your trees, and
when it rains the moisture will be
held in the ground much longer
than where the surface is bare.
This is no theory. We have seen
it tried many times, and haye seen
seasons when the orchards treated
in this manner were the only ones
in vast sections of country to
jroduce a bushel of fruit.
Suppose you try it. It doesn t
cost anything, and is very little
trouble, and we are quite sure you
will be more than pleased with the
results.

We told Mr. Clark in his last
campaign that there should be a
law to prevent a man from holding
a public office that was of his age
and seemed determined to live a

taciturnity along the matrimonial
line has always been a natural dif-

hope e’re the next campaign arrives
he will be abie to pronounce “wife”
“home” “family” and other similar

them.
Mr. Clark is at present Principal

Market Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards, Decem-
ber 26, 1911. The holiday vesterday
worked In two ways against any big
trade in cattle this week. The mar-
ket was closed in observation of
Christmas, and shippers in the coun-
try likewise celebrated the day, and
there was a small amount of loading.
Six thousand cattle had to fill the bill
here today, and it was about enough.
The market advanced 25 to 50 cents
last week, and it looked like ten to
fifteen higher today at the start, but
steady to teu higher was the best that
salesmen would call it. Buyers want
weight, and for prime heavy steers
there is competition. A New York
buyer took the top load here today at
18.00, 1550 pounds. Warmed up steers
sold downward to So 50. Some Chick-
asha, Oklahoma steers sold at S5.90,
and other fed quarantine steers
brought S5 60: Heavy native cows
easily get up to 5 00, the best at 5 35,
and prime heifers sell at 7 00. High
corn causes feeders to hesitate, Cut
the promising outlook for fat cattle
for some months ahead is attractive,
and good feeders briog 5.25 and up-
ward to 6 00. Stock cattle sell at 4 80
to 5.50 for the best, though some cat:

We wish to thank our friends
and patrons for their liberal support
during the year just closing, and to
assure them that during the year
1912 we shall do all in our power to
merit a continuance of their patron-
age.
The new ySar comes in under
much more promising conditions
than did the one lust past, and we be
lieve that with wheat in good condi-
tion, the ground full of moisture and
more on top, and the general health
of the community good, our greeting
of a Happy New Year goes.

Want some Fruit?
During the past two years the
fruit crop in this section has been
very small, due to the lack o
moisture. The trees would bloom
nicely in the spring, but during the
early summer the hot dry weather
has killed the fruit, or if it matured
at all, it was generally of inferior
grade.
This coming spring will bring a

*'practically iliminated by the dry
winter. This is the danger of
frost. We are having an unusually
wet winter, and when the first warm
breezes of spring blow through the
orchards, the trees will put forth an
abundance of blossoms. Then, a
few nights later, will come a keen
frost, and the fruit crop prospect
will be gone.
There is a means of guarding
against this—one we have never
seen commented on by horticultur-
ists, but one that we have seen tr ed
