SUMNER

The happiest day of the year with
attending festivities has come and
gone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts entertained
friends very agreeably the 25th.
The plan of repairing the bridge
has been abandoned for the present
Mr.. and Mrs. Ford and Mr.. and
Mrs. Case christmased with their
parents.
The neighborhood christmas tree
at Mr.. Jas. Grifin's was a most en-
ioyable affair. The parents we're
amply repaid for their trouble by the
childrens' enthusiasm as they eagerly
rushed forward to examine the beau
tiful tree when the curtains were
drawn aside. After the excitement
had somewhat subsidized. Fred Crit
fin oficiated as Santa Claus with Ma
bel Gould and Nerva Monk as little
maids Of honor to distribute gifts.
Everyone seemed pleased with their
presents, even the bachelor who re-
ceived a large heart (cruel mockery?)
filed with popcorn. The host was
made the recipient of two fried cakes,
one of which he said he would save
for his chum. Anyone who has at
tended the pic-nics and public din
ners for the past two or three years
will know who he meant.
No doubt there were other pleas
ant gatherings and family reunions
of which the writer has not heard.

The Sugar Industry.

The manufacture of sugar from
sorghum, whichis destined to become
one of Kansas chief industries, Is be-
ing discussed favorably by the press
throughout the country. Much inter
est IS manifest by the press of the
south, at the progress now being
made in Kansas and the general de
sire upon the farmers of Kansas to
diversity their farming by raising
sorghum to be manufactured into
sugar.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean of Tues
day discusses the question as follows:
''Fhe sugar trust monopoly is likely
to be broken, in the sweet by and by,
more effectively than by Legislative
enactments, through the development
Of the sorghum industry in the south
west. Mr. Cowgirl, state sugar in
spector Of Kansas, is quoted by a To
peka correspondent, as saying that
there will be a great many sugar fac
tories started in that state the coming
year. There IS no longer any Ques-
tiOn," said Mr.. Cowgirl, that sugar
making can be successfully carried on
IN Kansas. Sorghum is a sure crop
IN this country when other crops fail,
and think the time is not far distant
when sugar mills Will be scattered all
over the western country. The three
factories IN this state were all profta-
bly, operated this year, and the man
ufacture of sugar from sorghum is no
longer an experiment. The people OF
the arid belt are deeply interested in
this new industry, because of the fact
that sorghum can be raised in dry
weather, when other crops fail These
are cheering signs of promise Of the
coming day when this country will
produce its own sweets, and possibly
have a surplus for export

been the principal workers in a series
Of holiness meetings in Rock Creek

fancied that the evil one had entered
the house and they tried to cast him
out by breaking all the furniture.
The family demonstrated, but the
frienzied men with threats of vio-
lence drove them off. The neigh
bors were called and came in sufic-
lent numbers to subdue the men and
tie them. They were undergoing
their usual ten days fast, as they fan
cied the Lord required They were
brought here to-day and placed in
jail, but still refuse to taste food OF
drink During this fast they have
taken long walks, from forty to fifty
miles in a day. Heretofore when
they tasted they remained in their
rooms. The case is a very peculiar
one and is creating much comment.

The Garnett Canning COmpany's
books show that 100000 cans of toma-
toes and 10000 cans of corn have
been put up this season, at a cost of a
little over $4,000 for produce, labor,
and material. The company has sold
and shipped sixteen car loads of to-
matOes, four cars of corn and six ears
OF apples, making in all twenty-six
cars The farmers who supplied the
corn and tomatoes are well pleased
with their part Of the returns, corn
paying on an average d little over $40
per acre and tomatoes a little short
of $25. One good feature IN raising
these crops is the case with which
they are converted into money, and
the short period between planting and
marketing, being a little over four
months from planting time until the
crop is converted into cash. A large
number of citizens have had steady
and profitable employment, the effect
of which is felt on every hand, Most
Of the employees are well pleased with
the prOf5t Of this seasons work.-Er.
