that line.
Our Clarence Konkel has re-
Gently helped himself to brand
new buggy, and now the ques-
ton is as to what particular use
he will make of it besides trans
porting himself to and from
Stonington, where he has a clerk
ship in the Erwin Konkel store.
Clarence Welsh had his arm
dislocated by falling upon it in
wrestling with a schoolmate.
The broomcorn seeders have
done their work in this neighbor-
hood and have gone their way.
incidentally, Marion Bryan
told the boys while here that his
business over in Kansas every
Sunday was to find out how the
broomcorn crop over there was
going to be next year.
Our boys think that if Herb.
Homsher had half section of
land down here that he would
have two chances to one without
putting in any additional time.
Frank Welch recently brought
another bunch of horses up from
the Cimarron.
Emil Lepel, Gid and William
Thompson this year raised their
first crop Of broomcorn since the
old days. The high price for
brush last year was the teinpta-
ton.
