A ''harvest home picnic has been
talked of, to be held in Great Bend
after the harvest is over. It would be
a good thing, and if properly con-
Quoted would do much to put our
town people and country people in
better and more social feeling. Let
us hear some suggestions in regard to
the picnic.

A visitor to our city says that if we
don't quit planting cottonwood trees
our reputation as comfortable town
will suffer. He says a week or so ago
a man could not talk politics, preach
religion, or eat ice cream without hav-
ing a web of cotton woven over his
mouth as tight as wax.
