When community has money with which to buy there is little difficulty to sell and If the money is not divert ed, it reyolves constantly in the finan- eial circle of the community, earning profit for everyone who handles it and turns 1t over.
 Accordingly, the money spent at home is bearing compound interest for the community. It's effect is apparent even to the outsider Spending money at home Is species of loyalty which makes materially for the progress of the community. If the community is composed of the sort of people who spend their money at home it ad- Vances rapidly There is money for public improvements, money for new enterprises The money which the loyal man makes at home is invested at home, the city grows, the streets are improved and the marks of pros perity and progress are evident on every side
 We are won't to inveigh against the wealthy man who makes his money in one town and invests it in another. We criticize him for want of loyalty 10 the community which produced his wealth and feel that We are done an injustice by his failure 10 put his money in home enterprises which

 Fearful Disaster.

Two oil well drillers, Earl Sheets and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction. underwent an experience last week that would make Feature for life and death melodrsma. says the Kan sas City Star. The two men were su- perintending the shooting of well. Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin had been brought 10 the we'll to Dc used in the shot
 A shell containing 30 quarts had been lowered, but It stuck in the we'll The operators thought they could shove the can on down in the well by letting the baler down in the well on top of 1t. The plan appeared to have worked all right. and the baler was drawn up out of the well and part way up toward the top Of the derrick before the mortified spectators noticed that the can of deadly explosive had caught in the baler and was then dangling In the air. ready to fall
 Just as Sheets and Ninks looked up, the shell came loose and started to- ward the ground.

CHANGE IN FCOO
Works Wonders in Health.

IL Is worth knowing that change in food can cure dyspepsia. T deem t my duty to let you know how Grape Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
 T had been troubled with it for years. until last year my doctor rec. commended Grape Nuts food 10 be used every morning. I followed instruc- tions and now l am entirely well
 The whole family like Grape Nuts, we use four packages q week. You are welcome 10 use this testimonial as you see fit
 The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape Nuts food. Is that it is prodigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using. t also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body Is in per feet working order. there can be no dyspepsia. for nervous energy repre- seats the steam that drives the en. zine
 When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

Big Meeting to be Held Here
Monday.

! A committee of tobacco growers
of Christian county will be at the
city court room in this city the first
Monday in May. Every farmer in
the county and adjoining counties,
who wants to pool his tobacco with
the A. S, of E., is requested to be
there at 10 a. m. This society is
gaining the confidence and approval
of all law abiding citizens.
Men of national prominence are
taking a greater interest in this So
ciety than ever before. Brother
farmers, don't disappoint US. You
said you wanted to pool your tobac-
co IN this association. Victory is
ALMOST in our grasp. Help us to win
the fight to bring farming on a level
with satisfactory business. We are
no trust, but society for co-opera-
ton and mutual benefit and we are
not attempting to do anything, even
in the interest of the farmer, that
will not be in the interest of all.

awake to the Importance Of not in
curing future liabilities for ally
/ purpose whatever. Let those who
are to control tn building in future
years avoid debt like they would a
leper.
1t ought to 'be possible to so man
age things that future expenses for
repairs, insurance, new seats, etc.,
could be met by .,.oceeds from
lecture courses and other entertain
ments. One thing is certain: The
people who have subscribed time
and time again in past years for
putting up that building and those
who so generously came to the rescue
when the committee started out like
cyclone to raise FUNDS to pay off
every obligation, even If they had to
raise it among themselves, had rath-
err see the taberi lcle burn to. the
ground than to, have Another like
cloud hanging over them.
All honor to every member Of the
committee for their faithfulness.
They are all men who do things"
when they take hold. The outlook
waj altogether discouraging when
they started out on their campaign,
bit nothing daunted by rebuff or in
din renee, they started out to win
at all J azards.
When a man who was expected to
contribute failed, then one of them
dived in his own pocket for $25 or
a $50 or a 500. They didn't know
how to spell "fail'' except with the
word beginning with S, No other
body of men could have accomplished
what they did in the same time and
under the circumstances. Everybody
will join us in saying to each and
every one, well done noble citizens.
May your days be long upon the
earth and may your labors have a.
rich recompense.
But there are many others who
have the thanks of the people, we
mean the men who met the call
made upon them. Some Of the most
liberal have no church utilization,
and, so far as we know, never had a
serious thought about religion in
their lives, but they are men of
honor and integrity, and are too
wise to let the tabernacle pass into
hands that would devote it to things
other than for what it was built.
Gentlemen all. You have the thanks
of everybody. May your days never
grow less nor your shadows shorter.

A No gladder piece Of news has been
