Progressive Puzzle Party.


The requirements for this party are
children to make four at table, as
many tally cards and pencils as
guests, box of stars for markers or
a punch and couple OF prizes, more
if the hostess wishes.
Often enough puzzles may be Dor
rowed or they may be bought. For
very small children sliced animals
and sliced birds will be popular.
There should be as many puzzles as
children. Some times the puzzles are
given as prizes, then each guest takes
home one.N ALI these arrangements
each individual hostess must decide
for herself. The tally cards may be
made at home from colored cardboard
cut in the shape of an interrogation
mark. Number each one at the top
and place corresponding numbers on
the puzzles. For instance, the players
who have number 1, 2, 8, will take
puzzles marked 1, 2, 8, 4, and go to
head table which will be marked num-
Der 1. Those who draw 5, 6, z, 8 will
take puzzles marked the same and go
to table number 2. When a player
finishes at the head table a bell is
rung and each child moves a number

Road Made In a pax.

The greatest feat in the way of
making good roads ever performed
in Kansas was done the other day be-
tween Coffeyville and Independence.
The distance between the two towns
is Is miles and according to arrange
ments the farmers along the route
and men from both cities with their
teams and implements turned out
and graded the entire distance, put
ting it in condition to be oiled as
soon as the rain makes the roadbed
suitable for receiving the finishing
touches. About 120 teams and 800
men were busy all day, and by even
ing the largest towns in Montgomery
county were connected by a splendid
highway. The farmers wives along
the route furnished the dinners fol-

A Coal Town soycotts Coal.

AS an act of reputation for the
high prices being charged in the
heart of one of the largest coal dis
tricts of the country the city council
of Cherokee has had gas installed
in the city water works plant. The
county high school has burned coal
in the furnaces, but the trustees have
decided not to patronize the one in
dustry that gives the county its
wealth, owing to the coal prices which
they considered unfair. Mayor E. c.
Hitchcock says he knows it to be a
fact that the same companies that
are charging So for coal here are
laying it down in Kansas City for
$2.65. On discovering this Mr.. Hitch
cock caused an ordinance to be
passed by the council providing for
gas fuel Mr.. Hitchcock maintains
that coal should be bought here for
$1.60 a ton.
