Even a calamity like the August foods develops compensations, and one such is revealed in the heroism of a telephone operator, Mrs. S. F. Rooke Seasonably notified that rising waters threatened the little town of Folsom.

Many persons Ike anything of food variety containing gelatine. and the usual meat jellies contain such. but a splendid jelly to serve with cold or warm meat is mint jelly. the bulk made with apples. Cook the apples the same as for apple jelly. strain the juice and add handful of crushed mint Boil until the flavor Is extracted. strain twice and add the same amount of su- gar and boil until a thick jelly is formed. Grape juice can be favored in the same manner. and also cranberry juice, which is really delicious when favored with fresh mint.

The forestry service of the Depart. ment of Agriculture has been exper!- menting with poisons on the predaceous prairie-dog. An area of seventy-five acres in one of the national reserves was sown with poisoned wheat and the prairie-dogs reaped the crop at once. It Is hoped that the experiments will lead to the extermination of q pest that looks "cute" and innocent but does much damage.

PUPILS entertainment.
Miss Agnes hogan's Students Please
Their Parents.

Thursday afternoon The Will
ing Workers Musical Club" held
their meeting at the home of
their music teacher, Miss Agnes
Hogan on S. Prospect street.
The club numbers eighteen. The
members invited their mothers
and the rest of Miss Hogan's
mnsic pupils. The club meeting
was called to order by its presi-
dent, Beatrice Elliott. Reports
were read by the secretary and
treasurer. The roll was called,
each member answering by Civ
ing some facts in the life of
Schumann. Leila WitherStine
played piece of his composition.
After the business, the meeting
adjourned and was followed by
an entertainment which was a
surprise to the visitors as the
practicing had been done unbe-
known to the mothers. The diff
ferent characters were carried
out very creditably. The meet
ing to raise the price of butter, y
was quite laughable. Six women
metsto see what could be done to
raise the price of butter A great
deal of talking had been done
but the session broke up without
anything being accomplished.

bill" Reeder, the big con-
gresham from the Sixth dis
trict, may not be a rabble rouser
when it comes to making a
speech, but he seems to know
what common honesty is and to
be able to tell his colleagues
when they are departing from it.
The Kansas delegation in con-
gress has been unusually active
this year and is giving the state
a great deal more prestige than
their number warrants. With one
forty ninth of the representation,
this state has one-eighth of the
chairmanships and an equal
amount of prestige, which shows
that Kansas is coming into her
own and will continue to wax
stronger in the councils of the
nation if she continues the prac-
tice of returning worthy con-
an.-Hutchinso News.

The senatorial fight will prove
a very interesting one, and at the
present time looks as though it
may prove a very difficult puzzle.
The first candidate in the field
was DIR. Jones of Wa-Keeney, a
man who has several times rep
resented his county in the state
legislature and in that service
has demonstrated ability and in
tegrity. Dr. Jones is well and
favorably known in this locality
and should he be successful in
the race will fully represent our
people and will doubtless look
well after the interest of our SEN
atorial district. Mr.. Wells of
Hill City is also in the race. He
too represents his county in the
state legislature, is real estate
agent, a good mixer and will
doubtless make a strong fight.
There is, however, one consola-
tion in this race-in case either
one is elected our senatorial dis
trict will be ably represented
and anything we may wish in the
bounds of reason can certainly
be obtained. - Quinter cores

To the Voters of Trego Co.

have been requested by some
of my friends to make state
ment of how I stand on some of
the issues to come before the
next house of representatives.
am in favor of the assessor
being elected by a direct vote of
the people and the trustee the as
SCISSOR of each township; also /
favor a lower freight rate on
grain and coal based on the same
rate as the oil producers have in
the southeast part of this state.
I am in favor of a depository
law that will protect the deposit
ors without injuring the bankers.
am opposed to the law giving
the railroad companies $50 to
$3.50 for the right to put in a
crossing on public roads now
laid out, and 1 am opposed to
corporations, trusts and COM
bines that are dangerous to the
welfare of the people of the state.
/ am pledged to no one for gov
ernor or United States senator.
The will of the people is and
should be the law of the land.
If nominated and elected will
strive to be a servant of the peO-
pie. j. H. DEATRICH.

The opposition organs to Mr..
Reeder continue to wonder why
so many people are for the re-
nomination Of the congressman.
Here possibly IS one answer, and
it is found in the Rocks County
Records: Thomas McNulty re-
ceived the gratifying intelligence
on Tuesday from Congressman
Reeder that his pension had been
increased by a special act from
$50 per month to $50 per month,
thepresident having signed the
bill May 25. The application was
made in February. Toms many
friends will rejoice with him in
his good fortune. He has suffer
ed for many years from a wound
he received in the service and
ought to have had the increase
long ago. This will enable him
and his good wife to spend their
declining years in comfort.

Office of state senator from this
the 39th district, asking for the
support of the Republican voters
at the August primary, appears
in this issue of the Record. The

any introduction to the voters of
the district in which he is asking
for support. He is a sterling
citizen, a good man and very en-
ergetic, besides has made an en-
viable record as a legislator and
is well and fully qualified to fill
the position of state senator and
to represent the people of this
district should they see fit to
honor him with the nomination.
