elected and installed, the Installing

ant one, the most noticeable features
being song, Naomi" by Mrs Marvin,
and two ROTATIONS, "The Debating
Society" and "Jane JONES'" by
Miss Laura Comstock of Wichita
Grange. The State Grange was repre-
sented by Worthy Master Patterson

All the children did their parts we'll,
which showed excellent training, and
the dainty little costumes added much
to the evenings enjoyment. The
school room was decorated with Christ
mas green's, and after the program
was finished, the side curtains were
drawn down, and there stood Christ
mas tree, beautifully decorated and
fairly groaning under the weight of so
many gifts. The entertainment was
certainly a grand success, and Miss
Roberts and her pupils may we'll feel
proud of their work. The receipts of
the evening amounted to nearly $40.

GOOD PRICES FOR POTATOES.
1t is reported on good authority that
one dollar per buShel has been paid
for potatoes. This is surprise to all
hoped that it may continue the ruling
price. Not for many years have SO
many dealers been through our coun-

could get. We now see there is an
actual scarcity, which means a stronger
market, with living prices to the
farmer.

Election of Senators.

The election of L. S. Senators by pop
ular vote is likely to receive more atten-
tion in the near future than in the past.
Mr.. Bryan makes proposition to the
Democratic party to make it party is
sue and Senator Berry of Arkansas, evil
IDENTIFY acting upon the suggestion of
Mr.. Bryan, on Tuesday of last week,
stirred up the Senate by asking how
long the committee on Privileges and
Elections would hold this matter in its
committee room. Mr.. Burrows, chair
man of this COMMITTEES, assured Mr.. Ber-
ry that it would be reported on in time
for action at this session of congress.
This gave Senator Hoar opportunity to
renew his hostility to the project and he
promptly svaled himself of the oppor-
tunity in vigorous remarks. His leading
arguments against it, were; First it
tended to make senators the creatures of
nominating conventions, bodies which
last but a day. Second If the change
should go into effect large states would
very soon grow sensitive under the con-
dltion that limits their representation to
the same number as the smallest states
and in time the country would virtually
have two houses of representatives.
The House of representatives., in
which the Republicans have an over
whelming majority, recently unani-
mously Endorsed the proposal, no party
lines being drawn. This is the fourth
time the House has taken similar action.
The senate has three times defeated the
proposition and probably will this time.
Many Republican papers favor the idea.
So do many Democratic papers. Neither
party has declared for or against the
proposition. 1t takes two-thrds Of the
State legislatures to adopt the amend
ment to the constitution to carry this
change into effect, and, il congress does
not submit the question to the states, 1t
may be done by two-thirds of the states
moving to submit it.
