What is the church of God that it

how many Of US hide, under the church

much invested in IL we are afraid to

gin-palaces with marble floors and

logwood and the tartaric acid, and
the nux vomica, that go to make up

Syrnp Man at COfeYyiIle.

REGISTER readers remember Mr..
Dennison, the Chicago man with a big

went south. The first report of him is
at Cotfeyville, where the commercial
club failed to land him and he has now
gone to independence.

account of their inability to give f..
B. Dennison and his sugar mill gas
lease upon 1000 acres of land; the

to drop it's egotiations for locating

wanted free gas. The company offer

Mr.. Dennison take chances on strik-

of land and the 1000 acre gas lease.
They offered him the site, but was not
In a position to give him the gas

District Convention Meets Here Febru-
airy 4-Several Hun tired Delegates
Will Attend.

Some months ago the REGISTER
told of the prospect of convention of
Knights of Pythias and Rathbone
Sisters in this city early this year.
1t was net until Friday, however,
that it was positively known that the
convention would be held.
The convention will consist of dele
gates from all the lodges of the two
orders in Allen, Crawford, Bourbon
and Neosho counties and they will
hold day and night session on Tues
day, February 4. Many of the chief
officers of the two lodges from differ
ent parts of the State will attend and
Grand Lodge degrees will be con-
ferred and secret work will be exem-
plifed. 1t will be one of the biggest
lodge gatherings in this part of the
State this year, and besides the del
egates many visitors are expected
to see the town.
The Rathbone Sisters will hold
their sessions in the K. of Z. Hall,
the Knights having been granted the
privilege of using the Elk's Hall for
their meeting, The convention will
be one that the town should be proud
of, coming without expense and re-
sulting in advertising lola. Every
body should do what they can to
make the stay of the visitors pleasant

This is no new thing. Brief refer
ences to it have appeared in some of
the Kansas papers. But I have never
seen a description of the Campbell
system or a report upon its results in
any OF our papers, and it seemed to
me OF so much importance that have
thought it worth the space it will take
to print 1t. In even our driest years
there is always rain fall enough in
Kansas to mature our crops. The
only trouble is in its distribution and
conservation. The Campbell method
is devised to make the ground itself a
reservoir to hold the copious spring
rains until the water is needed in July
and August. The most essential part
of this method is the pulverizing of the
surface and keeping it pulverized dur
ing the entire growing season. This
can be done with the usual farm inn
plements and it certainly seems to me
to be worth the trial. c. f. S.
