How would you like to be the gas man? He isaibout-the busiest mortal in seven states, outrivaling even the much maligned plumber when it’s forty-belowT^indrto-his-aetivities-prob- ably is due a si ght surcease of labor for the coal heavers. But no one should be deluded into thinking’ that coal will no Ibnger be a salahle commodity m this city. The dealers have from the beginning had as large a demand from . the farmers within a radius of 15 or more miles as they could supply. — Lignite-coal-of-fair—grade—is—found- in several sections of the county and. many farmers are depending on it for their fuel. It cost only the labor of mining and hauling. T o give best results, however, it should be dried out thoroughly, before using. Here in Baker there is little reason to worry about a fuel > shortage. Gas is in actual use here now. It is sup planting other fCfel in furnaces and is proving highly satisfactory to those using it. At the Lloyd hotel gas has been in use in the steam heating plant for over a week, to the delight of both tenants and \M ine Host” Monroe. -- The-Fallon- -County Times office was equipped with a ^as stove tfiis week and within a short time nearly every business honse will be using the new fuel. , ViHlal evidence of the possibilities 'of. this grqat.discovery .. has caused, a marked abatement of skepticism in the community and where once Cfnly the wildest flight of fancy would have pictured a gas heated city, now it is accepted as a-matter-of_fact.-. _ _ _ Frank Hitch disposed of his first shipment of gas heaters and ranges in short order and is expecting another consignment within a few days. J. W . Cox, who came here from Watertown, Penn., to superintend the installing of the gas system, has con cluded his labors. He departed this week With Mrs. Cox for Waco, Texas, where-he will install a large pumping station and gas compressor. Frank Dillion, formerly from In diana, will remain in charge of the work here in Baker.

Friends from far and ne*r gathered and made it a joyous occa sion. About fifty ¿were present and brought numerous and costly presents, as well as plenty of good things to eat. After supper was served the hosts stood up as they did twenty years ago, and received the hearty congratulations of their many friends. Music, games and dancing were the order of the eve ning, which was kept up until the Small hours of the morning, when the guests, wishing their hosts twenty more years of happiness, took their departure.

BE OFFICIAL PAPER FOB 1917 The printing and publishing con tract for the year 1917 was awarded to the Fallon County Times, its bid being the lowest of three submitted. This newspaper is thus designated by the board of County Commissi ionefs the official newspaper of Fallon County. While this newspaper has endeav ored at all times to furnish its sub scribers all the news pertaining to the county’s business, it will now have an advantage in this respect which it was not able to attain heretofore. The Tim es will hereafter contain a report of the Commissioners pro ceedings in detail and will give to its readers the important' happenings at the court house as they transpire. W e ’have long appreciated the fact our country readers, especially should be kept informed on these matters. They have neither time nor opportun ity to delve into them. It will con tinue to be our aim to print all the news that’s fit to print. . ..The-Fallon County Times, under its present ownership, has tripled its circulation and increased its size from six to eight pages. It is • the official medium for the publication of. land office proofs in this territory. W ith the-added distinction just acquired the Tim es has made another stride in its aim-to be Fallon County’s representa tive newspaper. DEMAND FOR FEOEIUL FARM ,000 Officials of the government farm loan banks have' received m ore, thkn 50,000 Applications from- ; farmers ; for- mortgage Joans, or. more than 17 times the amount available. T h e loans asked for aggregate $l5O7Q00,000 and come mostly.from the south and west. -lt_is_thoughf the rate of interest will not exceed five per cent, The location of the twelve banks will not be. determined .before Dec,. 20th and it is thought the banks wij! find it necessary to immediately issue bonds for their entire capital stock to meet the demands of borrowers. It will be some’little time yet be fore Treasurer Lentz will be able to tell the exact amount received in taxes. ° A rough estimate—puts—the—total- There is really nothing nicer or more to^ be desired than a Trunk, Suit Case, or Traveling Bag- for a Xmas gift.
