The Simple LIE for X. u
Students.

Chancellor Strong of the UNI
versity of Kansas, in his regular
opening address to the students
this year, placed the greatest
emphasis on the need of simple
ity of life. "The money which
your parents have earned by hard
work to send you here, you should
spend grudgingly," he said.
Stand true to the folks at home
and to the good old home beliefs
and customs. We want only
students whose lives are clean,
and who will show their loyalty
to the University by so living as
to reflect credit on this school,

Sold MOrtgaoSd Property.

Isaac Hendry, at one time a
resident of this city, was arres-
ted at Vinita a few days ago on
information furnished the ofic-
ials there by the officers of this
city. 1t seems that some time
ago Hendry bought a buggy and
some harness from the Hood
Implement Company of this city,
and gave a mortgage on the prop
erty to secure payment. Hendry
is charged with selling the prop
erty while the mortgage was on
it, and then leaving the country.
He came back a few days ago,
and arrangements were made to
grab him, but he got away, and
was not caught until he had
reached Vinita. Marshal Hor-
ton went to the Oklahoma town
Sunday night and brought him
back.

connections with the city of Law

Just been put into operation and

to occupy rooms at a considerable

rents are low; and out of what
they save on rent can pay their
car fare to and from their classes.
There has been cases of young
women who thought they were
not strong enough to climb the
University hill, and who went to
some institution having a less
slightly location. The street
cars do away with this difficulty
besides making it easy for oc-

Tract Brings $50, 900

Thursday a deed was filed in
Carthage for the transfer of the
Ground and Irwin mining tract at
Porto Rico, which has been one
of the leading prodcuing pieces
of ground in that portion of the
district. The consideration was
$50, 900, or 81, 900 per acre.
A number of the producers In
the Porto Rico camp are located
on this ground. 1t was also up
on this tract that the first mine
was opened in the Porto Rico
camp, and since this was done
the camp has spread out until
it is one of the most important
,sub-camps in the district. There
are at present operating four or
FIVE plants.
The land was opened several
years ago by J. W. Ground and
T. K. Irwin, both of Carthage.
The first mine to be bought out
was the First National, which
has been a consistent producer
practically since the first strike
was made and is still producing
ore. Lately the land was mined
almost entirely by lessees. The
new owner is w. A. Knoll.
