EVENING CHAT

Oh no, Elinor never baked a cake or

she does the beds and dishes and dust

Small wonder she doesn't get inter

Mr.. Waters then asked that the case
against Mary Vollstedt who was
brought in, be continued and that her
bond be lowered. The case was con-

$4,000. was lowered only to $4,000,

Asked whether he ever gave his son

he did sometimes, but that the boy
wanted to get to western Kansas and
