OVATION TO THOMPSON.

An ovation was given Judge w. H.
Thompson Wednesday night by the
townsmen In recognition Of his cleo
tion as United States senator.
Headed by the band, hundreds Of
Garden City men marched to Judge
Thompson S residence. The crowd
was invited in and Mrs. Thompson,
as the delightful hostess, served
frappe and other refreshments.
President Carter Of the Industrial
club made a neat little talk con-
graduating Judge Thompson on his
election and expressing the honor
that had been conferred on the town
by reason of it.
Judge Thompson then replied.
Il thank you all for coming here
this evening"" he said. 81 assure you
Of my appreciation of your good will.
Western Kansas has never before h.
a real representative at Washington
Coming as | do from western Kansas
it will be my first thought to look
out for the interests of western Kan
sas and anything that is desired here
will have my attention and support.
will attempt to make the whole state
a good senator. but Garden City ant
the friends / have here will be o.
especial interest to me.
Il will try to put Garden City oil
the map"
One of the points that Judge
Thompson later brought out is thu
fact, not without its satisfying
features. that he carried Governor
Stubs own country, also Dolley's
also William Allen Whites and hi
own.
Garden City is proud Of its nev
senator. The distinction conferred ol
him falls alike on his home town. Gar
den City feels it will be ably repre-
sented and it will.-Garden City TIE

The Cup That Cheers.

Women who pride themselves on
their tea making assert that tea 10 b.
good, should be made in an eartheu
pot. never in a metal one.
Tea is never good when long stand
ing, but in some cases it cannot be
helped 1t should be poured off the
leaves into another heated pot and
covered with "cosey."
If cream is taken a less expensive
grade of tea may be used than. when
lemon is preferred.
An old-fashioned idea is to drop a
few shavings of dried orange peel into
the pot in which the tea is made
Some like this, while others believe
that it spoils the flavor of the bever-
age
Bits of cinnamon and two or three
cloves dropped in are other way OF
varying the favor Of the cup that
cheers

Wishing for Longer Days.

Most women at home would be sur
prised to learn that there are quicker
ways of doing ordinary things than
they are used to. But efficiency ex-
perts who work wonders in cutting
out waste motions in factories, so that
hard-headed business men are willing
TO pay them big money FOR their SER
vices, throw up their hands In horror
when they observe how women at home
let the precious time slip through
their fingers, and wonder where the
day has gone.
Among the improvements they sug-
gest is that women use the clock more,
agreeing with themselves to get Ger,
tain things done by certain times, and
having certain hours free for culture,
devotion and recreation. The neces.
sity Of keeping to a schedule means
the invention of many short cuts, and
puts something of that delightful
game spirit into the most common.

Simple Food.

81 should like to call attention to the
wisdom Of the simple life. First, let
US have pure, wholesome, and nutri
tiCus foods, not deteriorated in any
way, and free from any manipulation
in the way of added injurious sub.
stances of any description; and, sec.
ordly a diet of simple food avoiding
complex dishes and multiplicity of
courses. but securing a sufficient varie.
~ to minister to the legitimate wants
of the palate. The frying-pan too
often takes the place of the spit, and
while some fried dishes may be toll
Grated, it is not q method of cooking
that may be genTally recommended.
If this simplicity were combined with
proper attention to the quantity of
diet, frequency Of eating, and proper
lastication, each individual would be
kept in condition best suited to en-.
able him to perform the special func.
tons in life to which he devotes him.

cayed in. burying all three Of the
men. Kukula was knocked down
when the cavern struck him and
landed in the water hole which was
some deeper than the rest Of the. pit,
and he was covered with about five
feet of dirt. The other two were
knocked against the north embank-
ment and managed to stand up, but
were covered with about two feet Of
dirt. ~
The news was Immediately phoned
to town from the VIII Drew residence
and several autos loaded with both
doctors and citizens rushed to their
assistance. Dalziel and Heinrich were
soon released, but it took some time
to release Kukula, he was buried So
much deeper. There was no sign Of
life whatever when he was uncovered
enough to get to him.

Effect of Paint on cOrrosion of Iron.

According to the rather surprising
results obtained by two German chem
lists, M. Liebreich and L. Splitter, who
were experimenting with paint as a
preventive of the corrosion of iron, it
seems that one coat Of good paint or
Varnish is much superior to two or
more coats. In their experiments a
second coat proved absolutely detri-
mental. The experiments consisted in
painting well polished steel bars with
one or more coats and suspending the
bars over boiling water for four days.
Half of the coating was then removed
and the barred metal we'll covered with
Naseline to prevent oxidation. In each
case where only enc coat of paint had
been applied the bars remained as
brilliant and rust free as before the
test, but in the case of two or more
coats, corrosion had taken place. The
investigators will not commit them
selves as to the explanation of this,
but 1t may be that a coating of several
layers provides a less flexible cover,
more liable to crack, thus allowing
Oxidizing agents to penetrate to the
metal surface.

have sometimes read accounts of
birds taking the fly of a fisherman,
but l do not remember having heard
before Of any one catching a seaguIl

This happened here at Dunkeld to-
day, and the lady who was fishing not
only hooked the seagull but after play
ing it for quarter of an hour landed
It.
The lady was harling for salmon in
the Tay just below Dunkeld bridge,
spinning with a minnow from a boat,
when the seagull swooped under the
water and flew OF with the minnew.
The gull made very good play, and it
was only owing to skillful handling
that it was eventually melted" It

PeninsuIar War Centenary.

Mr.. Arthur Keyoer, the British con.
sui for Seville, in his annual report,
says: During the Napoleonic wars
Cadiz was the only town in Spain
which successfully resisted the French
invaders, and when at last a parlia-
ment was constituted in 1912 it as.
'sembled in this town, where it was
proclaimed constitutional, thus ending
the periol of absolute rule. In com.
memoration Of this event and in full.
.filment of promise then made by the
government, which owed its existence
to the patriotism Of Cadiz inhabitants
and to the assistance rendered to
Spain by the British and Portuguese
armies under Wellington, congress has
decided to devote the sum of 1,5OO,0 900
pesetas (s2S0,OO0) to erecting a monu.
ment in honor Of the allies and to de.
fraying the cost Of centenary cele.
bration Of an international nature.
Half the above amount will cover the
cost Of the monument, and the remain.
der will be applied to festivities to
which representatives of the United
Kingdom, Portugal and South Ameri
can Republics will be invited.

q TRIBUTE TO THE BOY SCOUTS.

One Of the interesting reports Of
the splendid scout work done through
out the country was received at the
National Headquarters Of the Boy
Scouts of America from an impartial
observer. Writing about the Boy
Scouts in Fair Park in, Oklahoma City
Scoutmaster Mcdonald says: lin
carrying out the well known scout
craft policy of being kind courteous
an attentive to the needs and. con-
veniences of others, these. second.
class scouts are contributing material
" to the happiness and comfort OF
many visitors. Is a child lest from
its parents? A boy scout is always
to be found nearby, who seems to
ascertain almost by instinct that
something is amiss and in a couple Of
minutes he has sounded the situa-
ton. He Immediately gives the scout
whistle and summons the squad and
a search is instituted, usually result
ing in restoring the missing one TO
his parents in a very short time. Al
ways on hand, answering questions,
supplying voluntary information, MAXI
ing everybody feel at home, radiat-
ing sunshine and good cheer, the Ok
lahoma City boy scouts are doing a
genuine municipal service in their
work at the fair grounds. Many a
visitor will go back home with a kind
feeling in his heart for the metropolis
because Of what the little knights in
uniform have done for them"

tains an impressive article on grand

following description Of her own

charity, would mother the whole world.
But she-she mothered her own. And
will any woman say that to mother
ones own is the lesser joy, the in
ferior vocation?
"Then death-the death of her hus-
band. And l think there can be no
sharper test of courage, no deeper call
for heroism, than the requirement to
smile into ones children's faces, to
make life a happy thing for them
when their father lies dead. That is
a task to shake the heart of the
Etaunchest; yet she did it.
Soon afterward, the war and finan

southern wife and widow; the hone
