Col. w. d. Saphar is the JOY of his
{ riends these days as he is fairly de-
luging them with flowers and fruit
from his home place on south Wash

nobody is any more happy over it
than the clever Colonel himself. He
is realizing to the full the words of
the Scripture, "Itis more blessed to

LaHarpe News; An 100000 cubic

venture. This is the first well in the
field that is not owned by corpora

c. NJ. Townsend, who is travelling
for gas pipe company in Pittsburg,
Pa, left last Friday after brief
stay here. While here he made a
study of our gas field and was well
pleased with it. In comparing it to
the INDIANA field he stated that ours
was far superior in quality and entire

that is noticeable ini the Indiana field.

served several months Imprisonment
on a sentence of sixty days for selling
liquor at Gas City. His time has been
out some weeks and the board believ-
ing that he will not be able to raise
money for his fine will let him go on
payment of all the costs, which he will
probably do.
The cement company was unable to
find a good flow of water for drinking
purposes on its land and so is having
distilled water hauled daily from the
Ice Plant. The furnishing of good
pure water for everybody is the right
thing to do as the men working in the
hot rooms necessarily drink freely
and should have the best if they are to
keep their health.

The Northrup removal sale is prov
ing one of the most popular special
offerings ever made in this county
and seven clerks are kept busy con-
tinually waiting on the trade. The.
stock has been displayed so as to be
easily examined and a pile of catchy
bargains on the outside of the store
holds crowd continually. Everything
whether seasonable or not has been
marked at low figures and people are
buying now for present and future
needs and each customer seems to be
acting as walking advertisement of
the store afterwards.
Mr.. A. r. Baxley brought this office
some fine samples of four different
varieties of blackberries which he
raises on his farm ten miles southwest
of lola, thereby placing us under
many obligations. He remarked in
cidentally that he had sold 1925 doll
ars worth of berries aft an acre and a
quarter this year, the crop netting
him, after all expenses, about Sl76.
Which is not so bad. He remarked
also that he marketed practically all
of them in lola, which is good evid-
ence that the advantage of city is
not limited to those who live in it or
whose farms touch it.
c. G. Staley and several others were

after the interests of his road. Last
November he asked for a two mile
road and the rules were followed
necessary to open it but the Missouri
Pacific stopped proceedings before the
commissioners by sayingl they had
never been notified. The process of
legally opening the road was resumed
and now several farmers oppose it,
claiming that it will damage their
land. School district No. "a is inter
ested slightly and an attempt will be
made to show that while most of the
residents waive their claim to damages
the board never legally acted in the
matter as a school board. Several
lawyers appeared and argued the case
for the various parties interested,

At the Kansas City convention sew

Topeka Capital; Iola's commercial
club has been holding some heart to
heart talks for week or so past with
some men from the east who want to
establish a glass factory there. The
result of the deliberations is an agree
ment to put up the works if lola will
put up a five-acre site, gas well and
81 900 in cash. There have been many
other propositions made by glass
men, but the REGISTER says the pres
ent projectors ask less than any others
who ever appeared with a similar plan,
and urges the people OF the town to
get to the front and nail the enter
prise.
Probably the most remarkable
change beneath the sun in the manner
in which a man greets his fellow man
and also in the expression of the
mans face while greeting his fellow
man, is seen in the case of the can
didate, and the man serving his last
term. AS candidate he is socially
at his best and really makes friends
in spite of the allowances which people
make because of his candidacy.
When he enters upon his last term in
Office he drops his smile and begins to
find fault with all who even slightly
oppose him and frequently leaves the
public service with reputation for
churlishness. Many candida tes pro-
badly feel that they have borne their
share of affronts like lambs and as
retiring officers rather enjoy the
chance to go to the extreme. Life
would be much more pleasant, social
ly If every man was compelled to be a
candidate for about ten years running,
for by that time he would have acquir-
ed hal it of courtesy which would
mot be hard to keep up and would
make him friends.

All milk In Cuba is boiled as soon as II
comes from the COW. In no other way
can it be kept. even with the lavish use
of ice. The climate seems similar in effect
to the atmospheric conditions obtaining
in the United States during a thunder
storm. when the good country housewives
generally find their milk spelling on their
hands. Boiled milk is kept in cafes and
bars. and restaurants here have. just as
fresh milk as in the United States and is
used for the same purposes. AT first it is
rather disagreeable to drink, but after
becoming accustomed to it one does not
mind. 1t is great drink late at night be-
fore retiring. The Cubans generally put
into it panale, taky cake of sugar
and the white Of an egg mixed and hard
ened. This sweetens the milk. destroying
the boiled taste, and is at the same time
strengthening But they never put self
Ger in the milk. for that combination
makes it taste exactly as though it were
raw milk which had soured.
Another reason for boiling the milk
here is the prevalence of bacteria Of all
kinds. milk being such an absorbent that
1t is dangerous to drink it raw. The fact
that tuberculosis exists among the cattle
ID also another reason for taking this

the veterans said that the widow and
children were often impoverished in or

Hints by May Manton.)
Exceedingly smart are the new
box REFERS for early spring wear.
The straight backs and loose
double breasted fronts have a de-
cidedly masculine appearance, but
look particularly well on girlish
figures.
AS illustrated, this attractive
outside garment is fashioned in
light gray covert and lined with
brilliant red taffeta. The loose
back is shaped with slightly curv-
ed side seams, which are Tapped
and opened for a short distance
near the lower edge.
The fronts are fitted without
darts and deeply underfaced with
cloth. They close in double breast
ed style with large smoked pearl
buttons.
The turned down collar meets
the wide revers in notches. The
correct two-piece sleeves are made
without fullness at the shoulders and
elbows, but are held easy to give
the stylish round effect. The reef
er is finished in strictly tailor
fashion with machine stitching. 1t
may, hover, be trimmed with bands
of cloth if preferred.
Diagonal, broad or ladies cloth,
cheviot or any of the new medium
weight cloakings are appropriate
for reeters in this style.
To make the REFER for a miss
fourteen years will require one and
one-quarter yards of tifty-four inch
material. The pattern, No. 1888,
is cut in sizes for misses y, Il and
10 years.
This pattern can be secured by
