A. Mckay was by unanimous vote
chosen as his successor.
Alderman Affords retirement coupled
with the announcement that the family

take up his late fathers business will
be greatly regretted by the community.
For seven years manager of the Ann
Arbor railroad compauy's business here
he has been efficient and obliging, just
the kind of a man for the position. In
social circles he and his better half
have been favorites and there is genuine
regret over their departure, to occur
about October 1. Mr.. Affords election
as alderman from the second ward last
spring was tribute to his popularity
and he was making good as city dad,
fearless and painstaking in city bust.

Advertising Paws.

We are indebted to the Granite (Or-
egon) Gem for the following, which ar.
CUES powerfully in favor of publicity
even in the matter of eggs: amy way
you take it, advertising pays. A mud
turtle lays just as many eggs in a season
as does a hen, and lays them all in a
bunch at that, which is bound to be
more of mental strain; but the turtle
doesn't advertise it and the hen does,
and the result is there's hundred calls
for hens eggs in the restaurants where
there's one for turtles"

Maple River Farmers Club.

| Inc pleasant nome or Mr.. and Mrs
John F. Bilhimer and daughters, Misses
Ivah and Vivian, was the enjoyable
occasion last Thursday of the August
meeting of the Maple River Farmers
Club. The day was typical of mid
| summer weather and despite the I'M
comfortable heat large number OF
members of the club and visiting friends
from the city partook of the warm
hospitality. prominent feature of the
Bilhimer home.
Ideal Conditions in our State Coy
eminent: Can they be Improved2' was
assigned to F. M. Whelan, but on
account of sickness was unable to be
present and the topic was opened for
discussion by A. B. Cook. Mr.. Cook
expressed himself as feeling there were
many things that could be improved
upon in our state affairs. However,
the primary election law has wrought
wonderful changes and tended to shift
the power Of legislation from the hands
of few to that of the public.
Mr.. Cook believes that the local
option movement now on foot is going
to have a potent influence toward more
holdsome legislation.
Miss Mary Hardy read an excellent
paper on the subject of character
in which she emphasized the impor-
lance of cultivating the elements of
honesty, unselishness and industry.
There is great need in the world for
more people who live not alone for
themselves but for the good and happi-
ness of others
''The Farm Home in New England:
It's Historic and Reminicent Memories"
was ably presented in an interesting
paper, read by Mrs. Josephine Gould.
The essayist had given much time and
thought to tracing out historical mem
cries of early farm life in old New
England and proved very entertaining
Mrs. A. B. Cook spoke on the ques-
ton What Influence will the Carrie
Nation Type of Person have on Pro-
hibition," and thought that while Mrs.
Nation was an extremist in her views,
she had accomplished a wonderful work.
Mrs. Cook believes that there are times
when radical measures must be brought
into action to rid the people of unneces-
sary evil.
A. l.. Chandler was not very favora-
bly, impressed with Mrs. Nation and
thought she was carrying her part alto
gether too far for the dignity of her sex.
The laws are made to govern the people
and why not provoke their execution.
Rev. Laughton gave an entertaining
talk on can Englishman's view of
Abraham Lincoln" in which he paid
our martyr stateman glowing tributes.
He is among the greatest if not the
greatest stateman the world has ever
produced The fact that Lincoln rose
from humble birth to the presidency of
the greatest Republic in the world is
sufficient evidence of his diplomatic
ability.
Misses Marie Vandekarr, Vera Rich
ardson, Georgia Rose and Mrs. Jackson
furnished excellent music and songs
during the afternoon which were high
ly entertaining and added much to the
program.
Supper was served on the beautiful
lawn in front of the Bilhimer residence
and to say it was fully enjoyed is put
ting the matter mildly. 9sh spc

Last Friday evening the Quin-
ter baseball team came down on
the freight about o'clock for a
return game of ball. The game
was a slow one as the grounds
were in no condition to play ball.
The Quinter boys had our boys
beat up to the 7th inning. our
boys knocked ball out into the
weeds and the Quinter fielder
failed to find it until two scores
were made, giving the game to
our boys by a score of 4 to 3.
The boys are a gentlemenly lot
of ball-tossers and play good ball
when the grounds are in good
shape.

HOTEL AND FLOUR MILL.

THIS LOOKS GOOD TO WA-KEENEY
The people of Wa-Keeney are
waking to the fact that this point
is a desirable and central loca-
tion for a Touring mill. The
nearest mill east is at Hays City.
and there is none west, the one
at Oakley having burned several
years ago.
Trego is one of the wheat
counties on the Union Pacific
road, and it is believed first
class Touring plant will pay here.
One of the greatest needs of this
section is a Touring mill, and
Trego county being in the wheat
belt there is no doubt chat one
built and operated in Wa-Keeney
will be a paying investment.
Wa-Keeney deserves a com
modious, modern hotel r. F.
Morse, agent of the Union Pacif-
ic road at this point, started the
hotel project a few years ago, but
on account of the financial panic
it was put to sleep for time. It
has again been revived, and if
the crops turn out as now prom
iSed it is believed the WaKeeney-
ties can in the near future boast
of a roomy, modern hotel.
A county seat that is growing
as rapidly as is Wa-Keeney, and
a county that is populating so
rapidly as Trego, is deserving of
a Touring plant and an up-to- date
hotel. Harry Root in Topeka
