Allen county. The lesson to adver-
tisers is plain: If you want your adj
vertisement to be read by those who
do the buying, put it in the REGISTER
and keep it there.
Laurence World. The art club met
last evening at Mrs. nj. l.. Brewster's
There was no paper but the time
was spent very profitably examining
the hOstess's excellent collection of
Japanese works of art. Near the close
of the evening Prof. Clark said that
Japanese art would eventually exert
powerful influence over the pictorial
art of all countries. The japanese are
recognized masters in that style ofart.
X. c. StDr: Twenty-four years ago
Butler county man was dumped
with his wife and baby on tho bleak
upland prairie of ROsalia township.
He walked three miles every day and
worked as "hrnd for a neighbor at
seventy five FONTS u day for the first
winter. He bought farm yesterday
for 81 500 spot cash and has $4,000
where he can lay his hands On it, and
he doesn't care if the rich are rowing
richer.
The Arkansas crowd named last
week, got started Monday according
to program. The boys travel by lum-
Der wagon and by spring wagon, both
covered, and take tent and full kit
of camp utensils. They took half a
dozen or more old revolvers and lot
of shot guns and rifles, aud they went
out of town yelling like pirates. They
are really very harmless and peacea-
BILE boys, though, aud they do not in
tend 10 fall on any body, not even
themselyes-if they can help it. They
will doubtless have a very happy
time.
a note from Prof. Picken asks us TO
change the address of his REGISTER
from Kingman to Ness City, at which
latter place he and Mrs. Picken will
be engaged in Institute work for the
next four weeks. The Professors let
ter speaks briefly on political matters
as follows:
share in the general disappointment OF Al
len county people that a home man did not re-
eeiye the nomination at Lawrence But / feel
that it should be matter of congratulatiOn that
If the nomination had to go away from home
that IL rested with so strong q man Judge
Miller. For four years was a fellow townsman
quainted with him, knew him to be a clean
honest able MANA man to whom all honest
men could safely entrust their affairs He will
ably represent our district in the national House.
We are so used to farming by the
wholesale out here in Kansas that
very few of us realize how. much a
small patch of land, richly fertilized
and properly cultivated can be made
to produce. Robert Cook tells us that
his garden is just 80 feet square-less
than 150th of an aere-and that he
has raised from 1t this summer all the
lettuce, onions, radishes, peas, beans,
beets, cabbages and tomatoes that his
family could use. He brought us up
a sample of the tomatoes Saturday,
and three Of them-On one stem
weighed 81 pounds. If there were n
big market at hand 10 acres farmed
that way would make more money
than 100 farmed the usual way.
Therefore, let every body turn i'm and
help us make lola a big market.
