say how many men will send you,

endeavor to send all that you need.
The men going out at the present
time all seem to prefer Great Bend,
and from five to ten who left here
this morning declared their intention
of going to your city.
The harvest rate will not be. in
operation until the 25th inst. as the
railroads are in such a condition that
it is impossible for them to declare
the rate before that time, notwith-
standing all my efforts to secure the
rate on the Goth as contemplated
before the flood. Yours truly,

Common School Commencement Exercise.

The graduating exercises of the
common schools of Barton county were
held at the Congregational church OH
Monday evening June Is. There
were forty-four members of the class
of 1908, and when they marched in
and took their places on the nicely
decorated platform of the church they
made very pleasing sight. The
program was short but very interest
ing. The violin solo by Mr. Robert
Horney of Lindsborg was rare treat
to the audience and very much appre-
ciated. Miss Lenora Grizzell gave a
reading which was enjoyed by ALL
Miss Grizzell never fails to please her
hearers. Prof. E B. Smith made the
class address. He followed the same
line of thought as that presented by
DIR. Fisk in his lecture, ssDoes Three
Stored Learning Pay" only he car
ried the thought little further and if
possible presented it more forcibly,
and gave abundant proof that higher
education pays from financial stand
point. Co. Supt. Aldrich presented
the diplomas to the class. The hold
ers of these diplomas are entitled to
enter any high school in the state.
The condidition of the house shows
that the interest in these exercises is
increasing and that the opera house
will be needed next year. Following
is the class roll:

Il firmly believe that I owe my fine

was to give up my occupation which [

Of Peruna in my grip all the time. and

me in excellent health. John w. Meng.
| Miss Elizabeth Brown, 17oS John St.
Baltimore Md IS a school teacher II
that place. She found Peruna of benefit
TO her as tonic, and in a recent letter
says:
Two years ago when nay school closed
l was so tagged out that I could not
slee nights. Sleeplessness was a most
serious trouble 10 me, and I felt 1 ought
to 90 away and have complete rest, which
I could lily afford.

Peruna is Of national fame as a catarrh
remedy. 1t is the only internal systemic
catarrh remedy known to the medical
profession. 1t makes diseased mucous
membranes healthy whether ii is the mu-
cous membrane lining the nose. throat,
lungs stomach. kidneys or pelvic organs.
It cures various diseases of all these or
gans, because two-thirds of the lis of
mankind are due to catarrh. With
healthy mucous membranes climatic dis
eases lose their terror. the system is en-
abled to throw of contagion. and health
follows inevitably.
