Have you noticed the new fad with
the small boys? Armed with lassoes
they go up and down the streets throw
ing loops over each other, catching
dogs. cats, posts, any old thing that in

mer over the water supply, the pond
from which the town gets water being
lower than ever. The railroads nc
longer get water there and the city
loses that revenue. Yesterday the
principal main of the system broke

came to lola on the night train and
secured repairs to mend it. There
} isn't town in Kansas that has more

lola and that fact ought to be cause
for great good TO the town some day.
Has it occurred to you lately that
the population of lola is increasing
very fast ? For instance in the Sat.
urday and today's issue of the paper
there are a number of notices of peo-

here and of course there are some

elected and so named him in spite OF
his protest. His lola friends will hope
for his success.
