HOW LONG A DREAM LASTS.
as a Rule 1t Is Only for
Moment

One sometimes passes through the eX-
perience of a lifetime in dream that
lasts but a few seconds or minutes, so
rapid is the activity Of the mind during
semisomnolence. To the dreamer vi
sion sometimes seems to endure for
hours, and the general impression is
that dreams continue for minutes at
least, while the fact is that the longest
dream appears to be confined within
solitary second, even though the events
of it may impress the dreamer for days
''The other afternoon" said a doctor.

Motor-Car in Church.

The latest motor story from America
is told by trade paper, and it is to the
effect that Rev. Dink Rumple, a sensa-
tional preacher of Philadelphia, has
doubled his congregations and trebled
his collections by the use of motor-car
A very tiny 21z horsepower car has
been built, more like perambulator
than any other vehicle, and on this Mr..
Rumple travels up and down the aisles
making the collection, bag on the end
of long stick being thrust into the pews
as he passes, the motor-horn blowing all

ClaFllN PROSPERITY
The Town is Growing Rapidly IN Wealth
and Population.

A part of last Thursday and Fri.
day spent in Clafin by the writer was
time well spent. 1t impressed upon
our mind the fact that up there in the
northeast part of this bounteous coun-
ty isa town that is making most rapid
advancement in a business way, and
a town whose people are cordial,
whole-souled samples of that Kansas
citizenship which has made our state
famous as the best state in the Union
in which to conduct business.
Clafin now has two Touring mills,
with combined capacity of near 600
barrels of -four day. The Universal
Mills, by Messrs. ,Pickerill & Hill, ar
now turning out daily an excellent
brand of -four, their favorite brand
being the Turkey Hard. Our
townsman, Ed. L. Gibson, is the head
miller at this place. Mr.. Hill is look
ing after the local business, while Mr..
Pickerill is this week on the road plac-
ing orders for the output. Clint Glib
Ter, also formerly of Great Bend, is
the engineer in charge.
The other new mill, which is just
completed at a cost of near $4,000,
is about ready to begin making flour
will probably be doing so by the
time this is in print. This is the
Clafin Mill & Elevator Co.'S plant,
with Mr.. Toeves as general manager.
This gentleman has other milling
interests, and is an expert in the bust
ness. John Strothman is also inter
ested in these mills, and through his
courtesy we were shown through the
plant.
Besides these mills, Clafin has
numerous elevators for handling the
grain of that territory, and it is our
prediction that the farming country
tributary. to Clahin will be greatly
benefited by these industries.
Thursday night new lodge of
Knights of Pythias was organized
there, principally through the efforts
of Mr.. Walker, with Pickerill & Hill.
1t being rainy night, the Great
Bend Knights who expected to be
present could no get over. The rain
also kept the Hoisington Knights
away.
A whole lot more could be said
about the prosperity of CIafin, did
space permit. Anyhow, she's a hum
mer, aud her hum will be heard and
felt in the business world.
