Mesdames VIM. Henderson from

Sageser left for Excelsior Springs for
a months outing.
Geo. B. Bohlken and sons have
been setting a good example that
would be great thing towards help
ing out the appearance of the road
sides by cutting all the brush that has
been there since the days "before the
war;"
Rambler did little rambling last
week. On Friday we drove over to
the county seat, our wife, daughter
and son, Charles, accompanied us.
On the way we stopped at John
Fosters. He reported some Of his
corn being light. The village smith
at Virginia was busy at the forge
when we passed Parktown. Werub-
bered across the fence at Young
Aaron's herd of Duroc swine but did
not see the face of their proprietor as
he had hit the trail for the county
seat ahead of us. We arrived at
town and dropped in at The Times
headquarters and while there Young
Aaron, accompanied by one of his
sisters daughters, happened in and
few pleasant words were passed
between the pencil pushers of the
western section Of the kingdom Of
Bates. "Bob," of course was all
smiles as both Of the boys had the
names of new recruits to The Times
long list of readers. We ate our
noon day lunch at the Rest Room in
the Court House, one thing that all
farmers wives appreciate when they
are so fortunate as to get to visit the
County seat. While loafing around
we went upstairs to see the boys that
are in the county offices as they are
always good on giving lot of good
information to a Rambler free. We
feel sorry for these poor boys as they
are worked to the limit for whenever
they get one job off their hands
another pops up, especially if there is
a gang of loafers standing around. If
they are not busy some one will think
they are beating the county and what
a howl will 60 up. Nothing like be-
ing farmer for the only ones to put
in kick at that job are your wife and
kids and they might kick if you were
a county officer.
DR.. J. C. Sageser is keeping bach
these days and is so busy that he
don't hardly have time to eat his
meals. It is reported that he was
seen with the broom in his hands
chasing the cat and dog as they need
ed-the exercise to sharpen their
appetites as the Doctor don't want any
of his cooking on hands or the floor
when the Mrs. returns home.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Caughman and
two children of Block, Kansas, are
visiting at the R. Bohlken home.
Oscar Harris hauled his flax crop to
Butler Friday.
w. j. Bard drove up to Amsterdam
Saturday and reminded his many ac-
quaintances that he was as young as
he used to be.
Cecil Porter who is acting the COW
boy for Messrs. Bard, Ewbank,
Walker, in the Mulberry bottoms
near the rock road, spent Saturday
night with home folks. Ma had the
fatted chicken for breakfast, pa had
some of those big sweet taters, the
boys had in a sample of their water
melons and the baby sister could only
smile.
John Hutton of Amoret was a cal
Ter at our office Sunday morning.
Henry Kaufman on Route 5, Butler
