Sun and Lake City Happenings
Everything is lovely.

Everything is lovely.
A free street entertainment last
week. "Ax"Gene Bullock about it.
People, generally, have begun
to feed their cattle during the past
week.
A. ]. Hargis is slightly in the
hog business. He only has about
1000 head.
See the Lake City liveryman's
lad" He is equipped to finish
in his line.
Fred Lakes new buggies are GO
ing like hot pancakes. Buy one,
and be in the swim.
Get one of Lakes heavy plush
lap robes to wrap the baby in
they can't be beaten for warmth.
We understand that T.V. Thrash
er and wife will start up business
at the Redwine restaurant right
away.
Roy Bissantz, Walter Saunders
and Miss Chloe Harmon attended
the box supper at Lake Friday
evening.
Sunday morning for about ten
minutes it looked as though we
were going to have a genuine biz
card. The snow fell thick and fast.
The Lake City lumberman came
home from the Lodge one night re-
Gently and ran into a crowd of
"beginners' rolling bones. He lost
no time in spelling the game.
A party was given at ]. W.Mode's
seven miles west of Sun last Satur.
day night. Judging from the live
ly disposition OF that locality we
feel safe in saying that they had
'hog KILN" time.
The Box Supper which was Lake
City's main attraction, last Friday
evening not only afforded an en-
joyable time to those present, but
a bunch of finance to the amount
Of SIS vas also realized. 1t is
very nice indeed when we can have
anything of this kind and have it
carried on orderly. This thing of
some people getting drunk coming
to such meetings merely to spread
on is growing very unpopular, in
fact man who persistently does
such things is branded "Dog" and
is very undesirable animal.
A home entertainment was Civ.
en- at the Harmon place last Tues
day evening in honor of Homer
Hastings. Quite a number of
Messrs. and Misses were present
and lent ear to the lovely music
furnished by Bert Cars new ED
ison." About the time Homer
reached home the cock crew.
Mrs. Harry Miller planned sur
prise on her ''hubbie" last Friday
which was carried out to dot.
When Harry came home from the
store at noon he entered the front
room only to see few of the neigh
bors who were lounging and enjoy
ing an idle chat. He tried to laugh
but couldn't, he tried to talk, but
made failure at that, the fact is
he was so badly surprised that he
didn't know which one of the boys
he was. In a few minutes our sub
ject had regained conscious state
and the dining room door swung
open-you know the rest, but may
be we had better add another word,
we have seen and heard talk of
"good grub fine tables, ETC., but
the eating part of this occasion
simply eclipsed anything we have
gotten next to for years. Mrs.
Shigley, Mrs. Miller and Miss Lena
Shigley certainly should have a
diploma from the school of cook
ology. The occasion was in honor
of Mr.. Miller's 32nd birthday.
Those present were A. I. Hargis
and wife, G. G. Shlgley and wife,
]. A. Campbell and wife, Miss Lena
Shigley, l. O. Sherrod and Fred

ONLY A QUESTION OF CONFIDENCE

Last Thursdays Wichita Eagle has
the following timely editorial on mon
ey and its different phases and uses.
1t is OF especial interest in the present
crisis and we take pleasure in repro
oucing it:
People have some very strange
ideas about money. The average man
or woman wants money as good as
gold, but none of them want the gold.
The men are afraid they will pay out
five-dollar gold pieces for quarter of
a dollar, and the women say the gold
is easier lost than the paper money.
"When the banks first suspended
currency payments and began to give
the people who presented checks the
cashiers checks in payment, there was
objection because they had to be in
dorsed. Just as soon as the banks had
the checks printed to look more like
money and made payable to the bearer
there was no complaint.
"This shows how we are the slaves
of custom. The cashiers check is as
good as the bank, and that is all that
is needed because the people have con-
fidence in the banks even if New York
has temporarily tied up part of their
currency. The cashiers check is a
promise of the bank to pay a certain
sum of money, and that is all that any
of our paper money is. The greenbacks
and the national bank notes are prom
ises to pay, and the silver certificates
are only promises to pay in silver dol
lars.
National bank notes are only prom
ises OF the bank to pay, but the banks
have government bonds on deposit
with-the secretary of the treasury to
guarantee their redemption, but how
many people ever stop to inquire about
thatp The average business man is
) satisfied with any money that every
body will take. Money is a medium
of exchange used to facilitate the ex-
change Of other products, and when
the cashiers check does that work it
odUlSncS UIlc pcOplc.
"The American people are the most
practical people on earth They are
the only people that can run foot
race into wilderness one day and the
next day have city governments in op-
Grafton. That is the reason they can
change from currency money one day
to bank cashiers checks the next day
without any apparent interruption OF
business. The people have the intelli-
gence to understand the situation,
whether it is governmental or fnan-
cial When this little storm has pass
ed people will talk about how they
took the cashiers checks, and they
will be harder to stampede next time.
1t is just such times that develop f.
nanciers. The people are learning
something about money and it's rela-
tion to trade.
''The cigar store is probably able to
redeem all it's outstanding checks in
one day, but people want to under
stand that no great bank or financial
institution can do that. Government
money is considered good, but even
the United States would have to sus-
pend payment if called On in one day
to pay all its obligations. That is the
reason that run of depoSitors may
ruin the best bank ever established. "

Miss Minnie Horton is still in
danger as her attack of typhoid

close call for her to ever recover.
This coming week we will have

Mr.. Kennedy, who has bought out

Frank Hardesty shipped two
cars of fat hogs to Wichita last
week and had to buy car of cat
tie to ship back so he could get a
pass home. The market wasn't
what it might have been on hogs.
How would it strike some of the
people now if they could get hold
of some of those much talked of 60
cent Bryan dollars. Wouldn't they
be about as good as the currency
we are now using?
Since we gave notice of our plan
OF protecting our hogs we find that
there are Others in the same line.
Hence we are not the only ones
disposed to take the law in our
own hands.

barn on his farm adjoining town
