The friends of Mrs. l.. III. Hartman

cent death of her brother, Mr.. E. p.
Baldwin, who passed away a few
days ago at his home in Minneapolis,

Down in the oil country around
Neodesha the farmers are using crude
petroleum to fight chinch bugs. They
either saturate straw with the oil and
string it around the field they want
to protect, or they pillow furrow
around the field and fill it with pc
troleum. Either method is said to be
absolutely effective. 1t is a cheap
method as the oil costs less than
dollar a barrel, and it might be tried
here.
Knapp says to tell our readers that
he is just too busy to write locals for
to-day's paper and for us to write them
and tell the people he is unloading a
car of the incest and best vehicles,
and the largest car load ever brought
to lola. This car is direct from factO-
ry at Stors, Ohio, and has large dis
play card on each side of car "FrOm
Stors, Ohio, to lola Kansas" for the
lola Carriage and Harness Co.
&C. Clevenger, editor of the News,
and T. T. Cotter, business man of
Yates Center, were over from that
town last Friday. Mr.. Clevenger
says that at the Republican primaries
held in WoOdsOn county last week
more votes were cast than were cast
by the Republican party at the last
election showing clearly that there has
been many aecessiOns to the ranks.
He thinks the whole ticket will be
elected without doubt.
The social held at the handsome
residence of G. H. DeClute last Fri
day evening for the purpose of raising
money to build a floral hall at the
Fair Grounds was largely attended
in spite OF the threatening appearance
of the weather. A short program of
recitations interspersced with music
by the band was rendered which adj
ded greatly to the pleasures of the
evening. MI. Percy Lowry of Kan
sas City, also assisted greatly in the
entertainment of the people by rem
dering few very choice selections.
The proceeds of the entertainment
were S15.40.
One of the pleasantest of the many
pleasant social events last week was a
surprise perpetrated upon Mr. .andMrs.
Rowland by number of their Geneva
and lola friends. Had it not been for
the bad roads and the threatening
weather there would have been a
hundred people there. AS it was,
while many Of the Geneva folks were
unable to attend there were enough to
prevent anyone from feeling lonesome.
The surprise was complete and the
occasion was entirely enjoyable. The
guests brought bountiful supply of
the choicest provisions and the din
ner was sumptuous to the last degree.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland evidently
Apr eciated the kindly feeling that
prompted the visit, and the guests
were glad of an opportunity to bear
witness to this feeling. In order that
memento of the occasion might be
preserved Miss Sadie Reimert was
invited down to take group picture
of all who were present. And she
asks us to say that all who want a
copy of the picture should leave or
ders with Mr.. DeClute sometime dur
ing this or next week. The event was
one that will be long remembered.
The following were present.: Mr.. and
Mrs. f. II. Funston, Mr.. and Mrs. Z.
