With the Commencement exercises
at the A. o. U. w. Hall tonight, the
city schools close another successful
year. lola has had COOL reason for
many years to be proud of her schools
and it may well be matter of con-
graduation that the work of the past
year has been fully up to the standard.
The teachers have well earned their
vacation and the REGISTER hopes they
will enjoy it and rest as hard as they
can. Prof. Umholtz, we understand.
will spend part of the summer in Okla
hOma and part of it in institute work.
Miss Barker will visit her old home in
Vermont, starring next Wednesday.
Miss White will visit friends lin
Illinois and Indiana, also starting >on
Wednesday. Mrs. Archibald returns
to her home in Chanute. The others.
20 far as we have learned, will remain
quietly at their homes in this county.
Dry weather and chinch-bugs doubt
less have q good deal to do with it /;
but whether you can raise crop ev-
cry year in Kansas or not must depend
mainly on "yOu." Talking with COun-
ty Surveyor Christian the other day he
said tive have never failed to raise q
good crop since I can remember"
That means that for at least twenty
years. in spite of drouth and flood and
chInch bugs, an average upland farm
in Allen county has brought forth with
each returning season fair return for
its owners care and labor. Isn't that
about as good a record as any other
State can show? We asked Mr.. Chris
tiaD what his secret was, and he re-
piled that there was no secret. He
only observed two points. "Get your
crop in Mt the earliest possible mt
ment, then work it," BY observing
these two things he raised corn crop
last year which averaged 35 bushels to
the acre,-and other crops in proper.

As is the usual pleasant custom in
lola Memorial Sunday was fittingly
observed by a union service at the
Opera House in which all the churches
in the city Joined. McCoOk Post G.
A. II. and w. r. G. formed in front of
their hall and led by Major Hender-
shot and his son playing the dead
march, marched to the Opera House
where they took the seats reserved for
them. The hall filled rapidly and was
crowded to its utmost capacity when
the services began. The services
throughout were IMPRESSIVE and ap.
propriate, the sermon by Rev. 8. A.
Alt being listened to with the closest
attention, and calling forth. at its
close, only the most favorable COM
ments. At the request of the Post,
and to the satisfaction doubtless of
many others who had not the privil.
eye of hearing it, we publish the ser.
mon practically. in full in this issue,
ard take pleasure in commenting it as
an pdusually able effort.
In accordance with announcement a
number of the Sons of Veterans met
at the G. A. X. Hall last Wednesday
evening to take the preliminary steps
for the organization of a Camp Of that
order. J. G. Ball was elected chair
man of the meeting and E. Il. Barber
secretary. After those present who
had not already done so had signed
the muster roll, the following officers
were elected: J. G. Ball, captain; w.
e. Hankins, LIST lieutenant; ]. w. Me-
Clure. Jr.. Ind lieutenant; G. E. Mer-
win, J. f. Nigh and E. Munger,
Camp councilmen./Th subordinate
officers are to be appointed by the Cap
tain. On motion it was decided to in
vite McCook Post and all other men,
bers of the G.. A. Il. in Allen county
to be present when the camp was mus
tered, which will be come three or four
weeks as the application for a charter
must pass through several hands. The
muster roll now shows 80 names, and
it is hoped there will be so by the date
of muster. The Camp certainly starts
out with a good prospect.
United States Marshal Jones, Of
Kansas, is just now receiving special.
particular and general denunciatiOn.
His successor has been appointed and
while we have expected good Repub-
lican like Col. Dick Walker to be NOM
mated to the place, we do not think |
fair treatment has beeu accorded Col |
onel Jones. No evidence has been |
given that he had anything to do with |
entries made in Oklahoma by his dep
uties, directly or indirectly, and he has |
had no trial. We knew Col. Jones |
as a gallant soldier and his reputation |
at his home and throughout Kansas is |
that of an honorable man. He should |
have been accorded a fair trial and on
ly displaced upon proof of having used
his official position to advance his own |
or the interests of his deputies, con-
trary to law o. detrimental to the pub
lie service. We believe in republicans
filling the public offices in republic
can administration, but the removal
of democrats should be made in an
honorable and legitimate Manner
