Returns to Sedgwick County.

j. G. GyEcr came up from Hershey
ter to The Philadelphia market. Mr..
Gyger has paid more for cream this
summer than he could have realized
ont of his butter had he shipped it
during the summer, and the only thing
he could do was to store it and wait
for better prices, and we are glad to
know that the market is such now
that he can come out all right and
probably make Il little money on it.
He expects to ship his tbreshing ma
chine and move his family to Sedg-

Would Make Interesting Reading


Acklin'S continual pratin9s,
through his organ of discord and
democracy, of political purity fur
nI>h considerable amusement to
the people who are familiar with
his past record as IL cheap boodler.
AS matter of fact the editor of
the Tidings does not know what
honesty in politics means, never
having practised it himself; hence
he could not recognize the trait
III others. We suggest that the
people, who seem so anxious to
oilcr themselves as victims for
the slaughter which will befull
the democratic ticket at the No
vembcr election, ask this white
winged angel of purity Il few per-
tlncnt questions. Ask him why
he Hoped so suddenly from the
support of Judge Armour for
election to the district bench ten
years ago and supported his op-
ponent, Judge Glenn. Also
where he secured the money at
that time to pay the 5000 judg-
mont note held by Judge Armour.
1t might also be we'll to ask him
As to the deal he arranged with
the Denver "Savagcs' last Satur
day. A truthful answer to these
and other questions by the editor
of the Tidings would make inter-
esting reading. The Grit. Advo-
cate will answer some of them if
Acklin does not.

ALL IS CHANGED.
The Evolution of Ready Made Clothing.

Many of us can remember the time
when ready-made clothing, shoes.
shirts, gloves, etc, were Stunned like
social outcasts, and practically every
mans wardrobe was made To order.
That was before the advent of modern
methods.
Now all is changed. While here and
there in some lines still exist remind
ers of the old order of things. for
the most part ready-made apparel is
today far removed from the clothing
of former days.
We are living now in a scientific age.
and no branch of industry has receiv-
Ell greater impetus in this direction
than the making Of mems clothes.

still remain the leading makers of
