GOOD INVESTMENT.

The people of Wichita have recent
ly given $4,000 as a bonus to some
men for erecting a grain elevator at
that town.
The people of lola are offered an
opportunity right now to secure en-
terprises that will be worth twenty
times to this town what an elevator
will be worth to Wichita at cost of
less than quarter of $50, 900. We are
not giving any home secrets to the
general outside public; but our own
people know what we refer to, or
they may find out by inquiring at this
office We say that the people of lola
have it in their power right now, by
raising less than $1,000. TO double the
population of this town, and more
than double the value eff every foot of
ground in it.
Will we do it?
Do we want to make little city
here, not a great city, but city of
from 5000 to 1860? Or do we want to
remain village? We have chance
now to make this village a city.
But we can't do it by abusing each
other. We can't do it by refusing to
do anything at all because some other
man who has more money than we
have will not do what eve think he
ought to. We can't do it by kicking
the fellows who are trying to do some
thing. We can't do it by giving five
or ten cents.
There is only one way to do it, and
that is to get together and all pull at
once. And when the subscription
paper comes around every man must
do his great big share. We have got
chance now to do something, a
chance that any OF our neighboring
towns would snap at instantly if they
had it. Let us forget everything
but the interest of our town, and
do something.
The Bible says: "There is that
scattereth and yet incresseth; and
there is that withhOldeth more than
is meet, and it tendeth to poverty"
That means US, right nowl By
scattering with generous hand,
we will increase our wealth many
times. By withholding more than is
meet, we stand mighty good chance
to lose what little we have. Let US
obey the Scripture,-and thereby get

DECORATION DAY.
The Solemn Anniversary Celebrated In
lola with the Usual Impressive
and Beautiful Ceremonies.

The only result of the threatening
weather on the program for Decora-
ton Day printed in last weeks REG
IsTER was to delay the procession for
about an hour. With that exception
everything was performed as promis-
ed, very large crowd, all the cir
cumstances consid cred, being in at
tendance. The address OF Mrs. H.
NJ. Miller, representing the w. r c.,
was very touching and appropriate
and was rendered with excellent eff
feet, winning words of praise from all
who heard it.
The address of the day by Prof.
Picken followed and was one of the
best ever heard here. 1t showed a
complete understanding of the causes
and events that led up to the great
war and gave an eloquent picture of
the results achieved, while it was
charged from beginning to end with
patriotic feeling and loyalty. 1t was
at the same time splendid tribute
to the soldiers of the Union, living
and dead, and lesson in history and
patriotism to the younger generation,
and we have heard nothing but good
words for it.
An attractive feature of the pro-
gram, not previously published, was
the recitation by Mrs. Picken of the
verses which she wrote for last weeks
REGISTER. They were rec;ted with
fine effect and the applause that
greeted them was warm and genuine
Excellent music was furnished by
the Select Knights Band, and by the
Young Ladies Double Quartette, much
being added thereby to the enjoy
ment of all in attendance.

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.

Why would it not be good scheme
for the city council to levy no street
tax. but to divert the money common
ly raised by this levy into "Perma-
nent Improvement Fund" to be used
for ere,'ting street lamps, completing
the fence around the square and fix
ing up in other ways? The streets
are now in excellent condition, and
they can be kept that way for one year
at least by the poll tax. We do need
street lamps badly, and it seems to US
that this would be one way to get
them without any additional taxation.
We ought to have benches in the park,
also, and lot of other things would
come under the general head of per-
manent improvements. Last year
the street and sidewalk tax paid into
the city treasury was 1919. That
amount of money would put up fifty
street lamps and leave enough over
to fence and fairly seat the park
And just think what a boon fifty
additional street lamps would be to
the town! Isn't the scheme worth
try ing?

LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.

Richard Ewing, who has a great
knsck of finding out what the birds
and beasts and creeping things are
doing, says that ne English sparrow
of his acquaintance has already laid
twenty eggs this season. He says it
is not uncommon to find sparrow
nest with ten or twelve eggs, and that
the mother bird begins work very
early in the spring and keeps it up
until very late IN the fall, turning out
a brood about every three weeks. No
wonder the little pests increase so
rapidly.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The County Commissioners met last
Monday according to law to sit as a
Board of Equalization; all the men,
bers being present.
The lots in lola and Elsmore upon
which u. b. churches have been
erected during the past year were re-
leased from taxation. Certain taxes
paid in 1894 and 1895 by Anton Bauer
were related on account of erroneous
assessment. The Board then pro-
ceeded to equalize the assessment of
real estate in the various townships,
the result of their deliberations and
the changes made being as follows:

to keep themselves perfectly healthy.
Pure, rich blood is the basis of good
health. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the

good health because it builds upon
the true foundation-pure blood.
Hoods Pills are purely vegetable,

The advertising agent of the Royal
Baking Powder company tells VIM.
E. Curtis, Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Record, that the COM
pany spends from 100000 to 800, 900
a year in advertising, and that every
cent of it goes to newspapers. The
company never resorts to hand bills
or anything of that kind. Their ex-
perience has taught them that the
only way to advertise is to place their
advertisements in good newspaper,
and keep it there, so that every issue
of the paper will call the attention of
the readers to Royal baking powder.
And the Royal Baking Powder COM
pany is one of the most successful
concerns in this country.

The supreme court OF the united states
handed down this week one of the most i'm
portant decisions to Kansas that has yet
been recorded. In 1888 the Kansas legisla-
ture passed law giving the mortgagor of
real estate term of eighteenl months after
foreclosure and sale of the property in which
to redeem the same The law was since &C.
clared unconstitutional by the Kansas
Supreme court Justice Alien dissenting.
IN a case in Shawnee the question was in
volved and the matter was appealed to the
[. 5. Supreme Court. Monday Justice
Shiras handed down an opinion in the
matter. He holds that tn, law is consd
tutiOnal and good and it will now be en-
forced.-ElsmOre Enterprise.
The Enterprise has Inexperienced
both the decision of the Kansas court
and of the United States court, and
the foregoing paragraph is therefore
very misleading. The law of 1898 as
a whole was never declared unconsti-
tutional by any court. The Kansas
Supreme Court did in the first instance
decide that the portion of it which
provided for redemption period of
eighteen months could not be made to
apply to contracts that were made be-
fore the law went into effect. When
David Martin came onto the bench,
in place of Justice Horton, reheafing
of the case was granted, and the
former decision was reversed, Judges
Martin aud Allen holding that the
eighteen months redemption period
could properly be made to apply to
contracts that had been made before
the law went into effect. The case
was then appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and this
tribunal over ruled this last decision,
holding with Judges Horton and
Johnston that the section OF the law of
1913 which provides for a redemption
period of eighteen months could not
constitutiOnally apply to contracts
made before the law was passed. No
body ever questioned the constitu-
tionality Of the law of 1898 as related
to contracts made after it took effect.
The only contention was that when a
loan had been made ON a contract
that provided for a redemption period
of but six months, that period could
not be extended to eighteen months
by any law subsequent to the date of
the contract; and that contention the
SUnrena COurt of tho ITnitad StafoS
has sustained.
