DR.. G.. j. MoFFETT-Dear Doctor:
We gave your TEETHINA (Teething
Powders) to our little grandchild
with the happiest results. The effects
we're almost magical and certainly
more satisfactory than from anything
we ever used. Yours very truly,
JOSEPH S. KEY,
Pastor of st. Paul Church.
NOW Bishop Southern Methodist
Church.
Mr.. Cooper, of Overlook, near To-
peka, was in town today seeking pas
turage for some cattle. He is one of
the Kansas farmers who looks as if he
might be scratching out a scanty liv-
ing from a poor forty, but as matter
of fact he owns several sections of fine
land, over 200 head of cattle and is
worth his tens and tens of thousands.
He declares he believes lola is about
the best town in the state and would
have Topeka backed clear of the map,
if lola had the State house. And it's
the truth.
The watering troughs put in by the
city were soaked this morning for the
first time, the connections having been
made and the city water turned in.
And it wasn't i've minutes later that
u telephone message came to head
quarters: The boys are taking a
bath in the water trough" from the
north westcorner of the square. Moth
ing was done today as it is believed
the boys need the bath and will soon
= cary of the play. Later steps will
be taken to stop them. The troughs
ought to prove a great convenience.
Orville Weddell, who works at the
lola Planning Mill, sustained very
painful and distressing injury. He
was operating the machine which cuts
moullings, little contrivance that
rapidly digs through wood, following
out semi-circular grooves. As he
pressed the piece of lumber under the
machine the first finger of his left
hand came beneath the rapidly revol-
wing wheel and during the second be-
fore he could jerk it away the tip OF
his finger was cut off one side. The
knife cut in from the side and took
half the nail and bit OF the bone. It
will be slow injury to heal and the
, finger will probably never fully get
over the effects.
: lola people have been entertained
several times with reports OF mud rain,
ing down on the town. The basis oi
, this report has been that clean win.
dows have been streaked and discolor'
ed by waiter falling. The facts seen
to be that when the wind Is in the south
the fine dust from the cement plant IL
drawn over town, so thin it is not per
= ceptible by the eye and when shower
, comes it gathers this dust from the all
and deposits it with the first downfall
q Several times lately since the wind hai
been blowing in the right direction
q people have remarked that they coulC
:, detect cement in the air. So it is no
proper to talk of raining mud.
