owns section of land, Most Becker,
who is farming half Of his land for
him, had spell of the blues, and he
offered to sell his One-half interest in
300 acres of wheat growing on the
land, to Mr.. Beilsley for 1915. Mr..
Bellsley consulted his agent, W. A.
REM of this city, and decided that
the wheat was worth that much
money if it was WORTH anything, and
he bought it of Becker, paying him
the cash for it. Now comes Becker,
with faith in Kansas, and offers Mr..

etc., and says he and his wife will
join the excursiOnists if they will be
allowed TO Go. so. Mr.. Kinnlson has
been informed that the club will
gladly accept them. A. j. Sharpley

sires to join the club. Many others
expect to begin saving their money
for this trip, and there is no doubt
that the limited number Of fifty will

matter to lay aside $500 in four years,
and the trip will be well worth the
money.

after a term Of five months. The
teacher, Miss Fultz, deemed it best
not to have an entertainment at the
close CT school, but her patrons sue
cessfully planned a surprise on her.
At about II o'clock some Of the
patrons came to visit(?) the school
and before the noon hour all Of them
except Cne or two, who were kept
away, had gathered. In little while
the good housewives had set the table,
which had been hastily constructed

recognition of her ability as teacher
by everyone who knew her. She will
be welcomed at any time by her
pupils and patrons, should she come
