The courses offered will bear direct
ly on the different lines of farming
as practiced In Idaho. Several
special courses of interest to women
are included in the program, and
all lectures are free alike to men
and women. Owing to the limited

now under way to engage the SER
vices of several experts along spec
iai lines. These will be announced
at an early date, as we'll as the
completed program. Fruit growing
will naturally receive special atten-

At the conclusion of the last
number the distribution of presents
took place. There was a magnif-

ed and bearing on its spreading
branches grand array of gifts.
Clyde Hinkle proved himself very
generous Santa Claus; he forgot no
one and when his task was ended
everyone felt pleased and happy.
The temporary stage was now
removed and the hall put in order
for dancing. The ladies exerted
themselves with the result that
when the supper bell rang at II 80
a most pleasing spectacle was pre-
scented. Under the genial atmos-
phere of peace on earth, good will

arrayed viands and did ample jus
tice to all the good things placed
before them. Everything on the
tables was suggestive of the good
old Christmas times, and recalled
many tender memories of other
Yule times spent in early homes
and other lands. The remainder of
the evening was spent in dancing
and general merry making.
When the hour of dispensing
arrived all acknowledged having
spent in truth a very happy Christ

On Saturday following Christmas
Mr. and Mrs. Cooper entertained a
large number of friends and neigh

speaking it was a house warming

morning, everyone having entered
into the spirit of the geniel hospi-

An elegant supper was served at
the usual hour. Dancing and
parlor games continued until an
early hour. None of the guests
participated in anything so aristo-
cratic or commonplace as 500;

Leaving Old Friends

! We regret that Mr.. Ben Giles
and his interesting family have
decided to sever ties of thirty
years or more standing, and that
they will leave this week for
their new location, on the out
skirts of Hutchinson where Mr..
Giles has purchased an elegant
suburban home comprising eighty
acres. Since the latter seventies.
the Giles family of which Ben is
one, have been affiliated with the
people of Barton county and have
been a part of her history. With
the removal of Ben. Mrs. Fred
NewcOmb is the only member of
the family who will continue to
claim Barton county as her home.
The family located in an early
day on what is now the site of
Claflin. Here Ben grew up and
in that locality he began his life
as farmer. Beginning with moth.
ing, working hard and struggling
through the pioneer days and the
bad years of this country, he has
never faltered a minute, until
today he is considered one Of the
wealthy men of central Kansas,
nearly all of his property being
Kansas farms. With the sale of
his hOusee in this city he had dis
posed of all his real property in
the county. His removal to Hut
Crimson is not because Great
Bend is too small for him, or
that he has tired of his friends in
this county, but that it gives
HIM better opportunity to Wis
1T hls various farms. He will
continue to be a member of the
firm of Young & Giles, and we
hope to see both he and his esti-
mable wife, likewise the others of
the family, in our midst frequent
ly. Ben says it is a little harder
to break old ties, than he thought
it was, but the friendships made
in this county will last for many
years to come and that his
years of residence in the county
will always be cherished in his
memory. We all wish that the
star of happiness and prosperi.
ty will continue to hover over hin
and his.

The Sewer Question

N uuluucr vi cllLenS dCUenu
ed the council meeting Monday e
tning, called there by the fact
that it was thought some action
on the sewer question would be
taken. They were given an oppor.
tunity to be heard and were
heard. Among those who discus
ed the subject were F. G. Stroth-
man, lsom Wright, F. D. Wilson,
H. z. Moore, G. W. Thatcher,
Edwin Tyler, j. F.. Lewis, F. V,
Russell. S. A. Newcombe, E. W.
Moses, d. F. Shirk, Porter Young
E. r. Moses and the Mayor.
Some of the gentlemen were
against a sewer any place, think
ing tha. it was an expense that
should not be settled upon the
city as a whole, unless it could be
borne by the localities in the
city in the various districts. In
other words they We're against
bonding the city to provide a
system for part of the city alone.
Others were favorable IN q sew.
er, still Others were for a sewer
If it could be put in without toe
much cost, and others favored a
drainage could be provided for
sewer system provided surface
the low parts of the city where
no sewer would be installed.
No action was taken by the
council, except to let the matter
go over euntil such time as Mr..
Palmer, the engineer who made
the preliminary survey could
meet with the council and cit
liens generally and 60 over the
project.
1t appears that there is a diff
ference of opinion as to the atti-
tude of the people of the city
on the subject. Some are in.
chned to think the majority
are for sewer and others think
not. The council, as we previous
ly pointed out, have the authori-
ty' under the law to put in this
system without submitting the
same to vote of the people. How
ever, we believe that the people
of a community are the real gov
ening body of that community,
which means direct legislation,
and 1t occurs to us that no public
Improvement as extensive as a
sewer system for this city, should
he undertaken without a refer.
ence of the matter to the peo-
pie for an expression. We are
firmly convinced that while indi-
may err in their judgmenl
on these matters, the people have
a right to be heard and can be
trusted. Let us have this mat
ter submitted to them for a
vote, and then thrash it out
along proper lines. Let us not
act too hastily in the premises,
as such action would no doubt
leave more feeling than a cam
paign on the sewer question
would.

Auto Club Meeting

The second annual meeting Oi
the Barton County Automobile
Association was held at Ellinwoot
Tuesday afternoon. About a doz
en- of the members from this city
went down, each inviting a num-
Der of friends to 60 along. They
all left town together about four
o'clock and returned between six
and seven. The business of the
club was transacted in the ele-
CANT new hall of the Manner
chor." The next session of the
club will be held in this city
two weeks from last Tuesday. A
number of new names were pro-
posed for membership.
The run to EllinwOod was a
pleasant one, although a little
dusty for those who kept too
close to the car ahead. We en-,
jOyed the trip, likewise the little
stay in the 'old home town, +"
which is progressing. along with
the rest of us. The new water
and light plant is completed and
is a very fair building. The town
is now protected from any more
disastrous fires such as have viS-
ted the same on variOusl occns-
ions.
Herman KOelsch and Joe Theis
of southeast of town were in the
oi'y Wednesday morning! They
reported a big rain in their Vi
cinity, also some considerable
hail, doing damage to some wheat
f'a''E of about forty per cent. No
damage was reported from any
other locality.
