Wheat, corn and potatoes in Glen
coe neighborhood are looking fine
since the recent soaking rains. EX-
perienced farmers express the opinion
that the wheat crop will exceed that
OF last year whether we have any
more rain or not.
| We wish to inform the many neigh
borS who have expressed a desire to
see Mrs. Shepherds separator work,
that if they will bring a milking of
milk with them they can separate it,
and thus see for themselves just how
milk can be separated even as little
as gallon.
Mrs. James Orr and lady friend
were up from the south part of the
county and traded with our merchants
Thursday. They made this office an
appreciated call. Mr.. and Mrs. Orr
moved into the county last spring,
and Jim says he can't get along with
out county paper, but it must be
Republican. Here's our H jim.

| Last Tuesday evening a pleasant
little surprise party was given at the
home of Rev. Gunckel in honor of
Mrs. Fl. @. Street who was soon to
take her departure to Lamar, Mo-,
where she expects to reside in the fu-
ture. A very pleasant evening was
spent by all present, and the friends
of oil
at losing her from their midst, as she
is among the Oldest residents of this
city.
A deal was closed here Tuesday
morning whereby S. J. Pepper s. Son
traded their grocery stock and prop
erty in this city to HI. G. Street of Wa
Keeney, Kansas, receiving in return
a forty room hotel and grocery store.
Mr.. Pepper has been in Wa-Keeney
for week, and his wife will go there
probably to-day. Mr.. Street will be

Last Sunday evening Children's
Day exercises were held at the NJ. E.
church. The church was very pretti-
ly decorated with flags and flowers.
The program consisted of three parts,
which were taken by the children,
showing talent and careful training.
The observance of Children's Day is a
beautiful one, teaching the children
reverence and exciting their interest
in the church and Sunday school.
John Wanamaker spends 1926, 900 a
year advertising and Siegel, Cooper &
Co. spend $500, 200 year, or nearly a
thousand dollars day for that pur-
pose. There are many local merchants
who would die from heart failure if
they had to pay six dollars year for
printers ink. Is it any wonder that
the mail order business is hurting our
country merchants trade. There are
dozens of reasons why those who ad-
vertise can sell cheaper than those
who do not.-Press and Printer
The address on "Social Purity"

trict superintendent for this depart
ment of work of the w. G. T. o.. and
has given the subject deep thought,
and although a difficult subject to
handle. made it elevating. We be-
speak for Mrs. Tfnney a useful future
in this departments of work.-Phillips- |
