w. H. McCague would be under
many obligations to any man who
would invent a scheme by which
he could be at two places at the
same time next week The Grand
Lodge of Rathbone Sisters will be
held at Hutchinson next Wednes-
day and on account of the fact
that Mrs. McCague will retire as
Grand Chief at this meeting he
has promised to attend. District
court is in session here at the same
time and since he is one of the
prominent lawyers of the Barber
county bar and has many urgent
cases to look after his presence is
needed here. Mack has been a
regular and faithful attendant at
every session of court in this coun-
ty for sixteen years and he thinks
he is entitled to few days vaca-
tion this time. He has almost
persuaded himself to "pass up"
business for pleasure for once

Must Pay to Look at County Records

Members of the Kent County Bar have ex.
pressed their disapproval of the actions Of some
acting attorneys who have formed the habit Of
searching out the titles at the Office of the Re.
corder OF Deeds, and make out deeds much lower
than the members of the bar do. They have
therefore caused notices to be posted in the
county buildings against the public inspection OF
the county records, except through county Off
cial, to whom fee shall be paid. Citizens who
desire to examine the records, it is said, leave
themsin disored state, upon the completion Of

Blue Serge Away. In Favor.

Blue serge costumes never seem to
go out of fashion. and just now they
are very much in evidence. For gen.
eral seaside wear. and for yachting
gowns. there is nothing to equal navy
blue serge; but everything lies in its
make and trimming. Combinations OF
blue and some other color are still
adopted by the fashionable world. but
blue and green have had their day. in
spite of the fact that blue serge
dresses, piped with bright emerald
green velvet, have not yet finally
dipped below the modish horizon.
Navy blue, daintily piped with scarlet,
is always in good taste. and navy blue
serge trimmed with white cloth is the
perfection of quiet elegance 1t makes
a charming gown as a standby tor the
late summer and early autumn sea-
son: It is very useful for either sea-
side or yachting. and last. but not
least. it makes an ideal going-away
gown for an August or September
bride.
