WALKING WAS POOR ECONOMY
West PhlIadeI phlar Has Figured N
OCT, and Now He Rides to and
frem Work.

Il started in to save money on the
first Of this year by walking in and
out Of town each day" said West
PhiIadeIphian Of rathss limited
means, "but l hgur"d up few days
ago and the result shows that instead
of saving money by this scheme |
have actually wasted SO. In the
first place | soon found it q mighty
lonesome walk, 80 | started taking
cigars along for company. At first
I smoked only going in, but soon l
found myself sticking an extra one
in my pocket for the return trip.
These cigars are worth ten cents
apiece, 50 my cigar bill alone has
been double what my car fare would
have cost. Then, too, it has made a
marvellous difference In my shoes.
The constant wear OK the walking
has worn them out rapidly, and as
result I have had to buy two new
pairs already this year. Formerly |
cigars were luxury only used on
select occasions, but the habit Of
smoking on the way to work has in
creased my fondness for them, and
as result I am smoking a good bit
more at home than | formerly did.
Now, I have reached the conclusion
that I an poor man to walk in
to work, and I am thinking of re-
my former habit and riding,
not from laziness, but for economy"

A Suggestion

The suggestion has been made
by a number of our farmers that it
would be the proper thing to have
a corn display in Medicine Lodge
in some convenient place where
visitors, especially those contem-
plating buying land, could see
what can be grown here even in
dry years.
One farmer near the city says he
himself would offer a cash prize if
the business men will take hold of
the movement and start it. We
would Ike to see this done. 1t
would be nice thing for the coun-
try, especially since crops of all
kinds are turning out so much bet
ter than expected.

Another Early Settler Gone

George R. Smith died at his
home at Gerlane, ten miles south
OF this city, on Friday evening,
September 3, 1909, of paralysis.
He was stricken on Tuesday and
from the first the attack was pro-
nounCed critical.
The funeral services were held at
the NJ. E. church in this city Satur-
day afternoon, under the auspices
of the Masonic order of which the
deceased had long been a member.
Rev. lInboden preached the funeral
sermon.
George R. Smith was born in
St. Lawrence county, New York,
in 1896; died at Gerlane, Kansas
September 3, 1909, aged y years.
He went from New York to Illi-
nois in early life. and was married
in that state to Mrs. Nancy Yates
in 1869. Two sons were born to
the union, c. @. Smith who lives
at Marion, Kansas, and Arthur P.
omlth, manager OF the Badger
Lumber yard at Gerlane, Kansas.
In the early Sos he came to Bar
Der county and engaged in the
stock business in Mingona town
ship with his brother, Charley,
now deceased. About 20 years
ago he left and spent most of the
time in Washington and Colorado
until three months ago when he
moved to Gerlane in this coun ty
and state.
Mr.. Smith was an excellent man,
a kind and devoted husband and
father and he will be sadly missed.
The wife and sons have our sim
cere sympathy in their bereave-
ment.
