Clay Miller Wins Lot

A month ago the promoters of the
Light addition offered a free lot in
the addition to the person suggesting
a name for the Boulevard in said ad-
dition. the selection to be left to the
city council. There were about thirty
suggestions filed, some from Iowa,
Missouri, Oklahoma and other states.
In almost every case the suggestions
were fine, but the council selected
the name Light Boulevard This
name was sent in by Master Clay
Miller, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charley
Miller of Texas county, Okla, and the
little chap is now the owner of some
valuable real estate in the best town
in Kansas. Now that this boulevard
has been named, it will be graded
and fixed up as rapidly as possible,
trees set out, curbing put in and 9th
er improvements made. We under
stand that it will be graded out to
the end of the Light land, one block
south of the entrance to the fair
ground.

MORPHEUS KIDNAPPED
HIM

Quite a bit of excitement was
caused Saturday evening when the re-
port came to town that the little
four-year-old son of Charley Miller,
who lives few miles west of the city
had disappeared and could not be
found. His father was in town at the
time and Mrs. Miller phoned for
him to come home. He, with several
people from here, went to the farm
post haste. The first thing they did
was to drag the pond, and not find
ing the child there, they began to
search the surrounding country. One
of the searching party found the boy s
tracks at the edge of the corn field.
So the jungle was beaten but no boy
was found All this time Mr. Miller
was frantic, while wild visions OF
rattlesnakes, ferocious bulls and In
dians kept her cheerless company. At
last when they had just about given
up all hope and decided that the
"goblins" had gotten him, Mr.. Miller
happened to step into one of the bed
rooms where they had searched and
noticed little bump which ruffled
the ordinary smoothness Of the bed
spread He pulled the covers back,
and there, buried deep in the feather
bed, was a very hot, but sound asleep
little urchin of four years.

A New Forage Crop

Mr.. B. G. Root. who lives on the
northwest quarter of section 1884
35, has acres of new forage crop
known as Egyptian Wheat, or Shallu
corn. This has very heavy foliage,
and the head resembles cane and
broom corn. 1t is profusely seeded,
the heads are heavy, and Mr.. Root be-
lieves the seed will make fifty or six
ty bushels per acre.
He procured the seed at consider
able expense, and his belief is that
1t will prove very valuable as pro-
ducer for this region, and will have
some of the seed to dispose Of He
will plant a large acreage next sea-
son. He will have some of this
new product on exhibition at the
fair, and Others will no doubt be
much interested, as 1t seems so we'll
adapted and produces such a heavy
yield. John Baughman has head
of 1t on display in his window at the
office. 1t is surely pretty stun.

A fine STOCK

We we're really surprised, upon go
ing into the store of s. A. Fields this
week, to see the great amount of
fine stock he has on hand. One some
times expects to see what is termed
as Junk" when he goes into what is
known as a Racket Store" but in
looking over the stuff that Mr. Fields
has placed on sale we find some as
fine dry goods and furnishings as
there is to be found in any store in
town. Fine shirts. underwear, hos
iery and leather goods and at a
price that it will pay one to lay in
a supply of winter clothing, at this
sale.

ARM CAUGHT IN BROOM
CORN SEEDER

Last Friday morning Harry HeatOn
caught his hand in broom corn seed
er while it was in motion and his
hand and arm were terribly mangled.
The cylinder pulled his arm into the
machinery so far that the spikes got
to his face, inflicting an ugly wound
above the right eye. AS result of
the accident, Harry has twenty-five
bad wounds, and is in bad shape. o.
M. Woods happened to be passing the
Heaton farm in his car the morning
of the accident and brought Harry to
town for surgical attention. He is
better at this time and it is thought
that he will continue to improve.

JUST DOPE
From the Hutchinson News.

From the Hutchinson News.
Hugoton and Richfield have joined
hands with Lamar, Colo, to secure
the construction of new railway
across southwestern Kansas.
1--WE have a good show of getting
the Wichita Falls railroad, which is
believed to be a project of the M.
X. & T. railway, to build through
our section" said E. G. Wilson, OF
Richfield. who was in Hutchinson
last evening.
1T seems to be certain that this
road will be built northwest to Den
yer across southwestern Kansas 1t
is now almost completed. to Forgan,
Just few miles from Liberal. There
is some question whether 1t will
build from Liberal northwest through
Garden City or Syracuse, or whether
1t will cross the Santa Fe at Lamar.
Lamar people are joining with
Richfield, and Hugoton to secure the
construction of the road through our
counties and we are offering every
inducement to get It,"
If the road is built along the line
the people Of Stevens and Morton
counties are hoping it will follow
almost a straight line from Liberal
through Ematon to Hugoton and then
on through Richfield and passing
through the Two Buttes section in
Colorado.
The construction crews are com
pleting the line to the new town oil
Forgan, which is few miles south
east of Liberal. The Wichita Falls
road is now in operation south
through Oklahoma to Wichita Falls
Texas.
In Texas it connects with the M
X & T. line to the gulf. Recently
the Katy interests bought the Moffat
road out of Denver and this Wichita
Falls line is understood to be con.
Meeting link between Colorado and
Texas lines, making a through line
nom Denver to the gulf.

j. W. Baughman and G. M. Glenn
returned from trip up to the new
Santa BE cutoff and they visited the
place where they are laying track,
and found that they had taken the
big track laying machine off the job
for a while, and also that the party
would not be where the auto party
from here and Plains had planned to
meet it. 1t was declared too far to
travel in one day and not get to see
the track laying machine. At later
date the big machine will be back
on the job and will not be so far
away, and at that time the trip will
be taken as planned.

At Any of the Drug Stores

At any of the drug stores in town
you can purchase a season ticket for
the Chautauqua, and they cost only
$500; you can easily afford to pay
that for series of good entertain
ments and besides 1t is a good thing
to boost. The tent for the entertaian-
ments will~be pitched on the plot Of
ground recently vacated by the old
Christian church. 1t requires the
sale of four hundred tickets to make
the financial end of this venture a
success. Get in the game.

Postmaster,
Sir
The post Office appropriation act
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1913, provides:
That hereafter post offices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sundays, for the purpose Of
delivering mail to the general public,
but this provision shall not prevent
the prompt delivery of special de-
livery mall"
Under this law you will close the
general delivery, carriers windows
and lock boxes and discontinue all de-
liverles by carriers on Sunday. You
will note, however, that special de-
livery mail Is excepted and you will
therefore arrange to have on duty
sufficient force to handle this mail
matter promptly.
The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possi-
BILE may enjoy complete day of rest
on Sunday You should therefore, re-
quire only sufficient number OF
clerks to report for duty on that day.
In order that transient mail and the
mail collected for dispatch may be
handled without delay. If no mail
is dispatched on Sunday a very early
collection should be made on Monday
morning and the mail for local de-
livery distributed before the carriers
leave for their first trip.
