John Laff has just completed an
attractive job of painting the in
terror of the Lake City school
building.

ly gait on the school building at
Sun City and expect to have it
ready for school by October 1st.
Water melon season is in full
blast. Yves Triton has the best
patch we know of and he knows it
is "more blessed to give than to
receive" too.
Gene Bullock has shaken the
Sun City mud from his feet and
will try California awhile. Mrs.
Bullock will visit in eastern Kan
sas while Gene is getting located.
Mrs. Mills, Roy Cutlip and Miss
Larkin of Lipscomb, Texas, are
guests of Tonk Mills and family.
Young Mr.. Cutlip is a cartoonist of
considerable ability and his life's
work will doubtless be along that
line.
Miss Harmon Of West Virginia
arrived at the Likes home recently
for two months visit. She has
been confined to Office work a good
part of her life and to get to Bar

and a variety of scenery is like a
paradise.
A week or two ago the Ford
automobiles of Goats and vicinity
lined up in the streets of that city
and had their pictures snapped.
The train of cars was about twice as
long as the Attica Belvidere canon
ball. Mr.. Farmer has done much
to interest the people of Pratt
county in the Ford machine.
]. NJ. Walsh announces another
box supper at the Lake school
building for next Saturday night,
the proceeds going to furnish the
school room. We are glad to note
that the Professors school interest
extends farther than merely draw
ing his salary. He is at home
among US and feels a general in
terest in the community.
Riley Lakes Inflated arm is
gradually growing better although
it is very painful at times. The
neighbors take turn about going
in and joshing him about the "bah
hog" ETC., which furnishes much
amusement and makes the hours
short. Owing to worry and loss
of sleep Mrs. Lake has also taken
sick making a double dose for the
Lake home. We believe, however,
the siege will be of short duration.
The box supper that was an
nounced only two days ahead,
which occurred last Wednesday ev-
ening was a bowling success. Only
few of the masculine kind were
present and it looked as though
the dog was dead, financially, but
as soon as Tonk Mills had e1ectri-
fed the little audience with a
speech on duty the boys fell over
one another trying to get a box.
John Bradney, the Lake City sport
and lady's man, kept things on the
hum. He only bought four boxes.
