Obituary

Raymond Roy Rucker, born Oc-
tober 9Th, 1900, died September 10,
1912, aged II years. 1 months and
IA days. He was the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs, VIM. Rucker, former residents
of Texas County, Okla. They had
just moved to Liberal to give the
child an education. He came home
from his first day in school here not
feeling well. The next morning a
doctor was consulted 1t was con
sidered erysipelas, but soon proved
to be erysipelas and blood poison,
which soon caused his blessed spirit
to wing its flight to it's Haven OF
Eternal rest He leaves a father and
mother and host of friends to
mourn his departure. The funeral
services were conducted at the Ruck-
er home on Jordan avenue at 1900
a. M, Sept. 20, by Rev. ]. VIM.
Jones. after which the body was laid
in the Liberal cemetery to await the
resurrection morn.

Sow Your Wheat Now

Just as soon as the ground dries
enough to get into the field SOW
your wheat. The grasshoppers will
not bother 1t enough to amount to
anything. All they will eat, If they
eat any, will be a little strip around
the field, which you can replant later
on in the fall. Get your wheat in
now that 1t will get a good root.
You will thereby get world of pas
turage, besides getting the crop
far enough along that windy weather
will not effect it. ]. w. Jordan, who
has made a success of wheat raising
here every year, says he always sows
after the first rain after August, and
sometimes when 1t does not rain. He
is going to get his crop in the ground
right now. Early sown wheat always
stands the better chance. The pas
turage derived from it is worth hum
dreds of dollars in the way of feed
for horses and cattle. But best of
all, it gets out of the road of cold
weather and can stand the hard
winds dozens of times better.--Guy-
mon Herald.

The Sixth Grade B attended the
funeral of Raymond Rucker Friday
morning. Raymond had attended
school one day when he became Ill.
His death is sad indeed, he being the
only child in, the family. His parents
had moved into town from Beaver

vantage of city school We regret
to lose him as he appeared a very
bright and industrious boy.

nice relief maps with flour and salt.
They will exhibit some of them at the

GLEANINGS
(By Melvin Wheeler)

Gravity is the ballast of the soul,
which keeps the mind steady"
We witness everyday the effect OF
gravity in the physical world.
Through it's attractive force all par
ticles of matter are held to a COM
mon center. Without gravity the
earth could not have been formed.
Without gravity it could not be pre-
served. In this we see a manifesto
ton of divine wisdom in most en-
phatic form.
Gravity is law 1t is reverend
ing 1t is God active through mat
ter. So in God we have permanenee
for the physical universe; He being
the beginning and only ending. He is
the only Gravity in things physical
or in things purely spiritual. What n
pleasing thought. The God Of the
Heavens is also the God of countless
worlds--the harmony element in all
creation.
The foregoing paragraphs serve as
a basis for broader application of
the principle contained in the text.
All individual progress is gravity
manifest-God manifest. The indi-
vidual through proper attitude has
adopted the gravity of the Most High
which is the ballast of the soul which
keeps his mind steady" in the course
toward greater and grander achieve
ment.
The most striking example of the
workings of gravity in the scientific
field is that which has come from
the mind and hand of our own Edi-
son. At certain receptive moments
he caught the CLEAN of great truth.

them to Wichita, She will visit for a
week with her mother. The girls are
starting in on their second year in
this excellent school. They are ex-
pecting to do better work than last
year, as they now understand the
ideals of the school better. They are
delighted with their teachers and the
spirit Of the school.
We had the pleasure of shaking
hands with Mr.. Henline Monday
morning. He is one of Seward coun-
TVS "old timers" He came up to
help MIR. Norris make final proof on
his land. He reports Mrs. Henline
a great deal better in health lately.
If we can touch one human heart
for good we have not spoken in vain.
Mrs. Martin mother of Jesse Mort
inner, one of our Common school
graduates, made us a pleasant call
Monday. Another of her sons, Ed.
Mortimer, is now in Wichita attend
ing a Business College. Jesse will
attend a Business College also as
soon as he finishes in the Liberal
High School--if not sooner. He is
a bright boy.
Mr.. Fees, director of district No.
IL, made us a short call last week.
He says their school is starting out
all o. X, but that owing to so much
work and inability to get hands that
many of the pupils have not yet
started. He hopes that all the boys
and girls of school age will soon
be in school. We sincerely hope so,
too. The State Superintendent is
anxious to have every hoy and girl be.
tween the ages OF and IA in our
schools and then all the rest thrown
in for good measure. We hope we
will not have to send out the truancy
officer to any of our schools. Come,
let us live for our children and let
us see that they attend school in the
country at least seven months in the
year and in Liberal nine months.

PRATTCONDUCTOR GETS
A PIONEER TRAIN
ORDER
Buffalo Reported ON TraCk-Watch
Out for Them" the Message

"BunalO reported ON TFaCk-Watch
Out for Them" the Message
When George Keene, of Pratt, con-
ductor on the Golden State Limited
on the Rock Island, took his train in
10 Dalhart, Texas, Monday, he report
ed to the railroad telegraph Office
and was handed his customary paper
copy Of the train orders directing
him on his run east to Pratt.
But when he read the message on
the thin paper, his eyes almost
bulged out of his head. He looked
again and read:
Buffalo on track. Watch out for
them"
Shades of 49," thought the con-
ductor, for in those days, it was not
strange to get such train order, but
no Rock Island conductor on the Ell
PasO division ever got duplicate Of
the order that Conductor Keene was
reading.
And then, after inquiries. the mys-
terry was explained. It was reported
that herd of tame buffalo which
are owned on the Rockefeller ranch
in Kiowa county had broken loose
and wandered north to the Rock Is
land tracks and were grazing along
the right of way.
The engineer on the Golden State
Limited was informed of the buffaloes
and the train proceeded on its way.
Conductor Keene intends to have
his train order framed. Hutchinson

Sedgwick county has nearly two
hundred teachers who will remain
idle insofar as work in the school
room is concerned. The high school
OF the county has an abundance OF
teachers for several years past. We
had nearly one hundred applications
from teachers in eastern Kansas for
positions in Seward county.
We are pleased to say that Seward
county was represented at the Hutch
inson Fair by two of our school boys
Hiram Jarrett of Dist. No 81
SuperiOr-and John Thompson Dist.
Antelope. Hiram Jarrett won
first prize for Seward county on red
Kaffir corn and John eighth prize on
Indian corn. We congratulate the
boys.
Our sister state OF Missouri is
starting a new system of making re-
ports. The school room work done
by the pupils is to be averaged with
the work done by them at home IN
helping their mothers and fathers.
The plan is new and it is believed
it will solve the chores problem for
the home. The report blanks provIu-
ed have spaces on one side for the |
grading in school subjects. On the |
other page there Is section devoted |
to Industrial work, with blanks in |
which the parents are to mark the
grades of their children. The girls
are to be graded on sweeping, dust
ing, cake baking, bread baking, sew
ing, washing dishes and ironing. The
boys are to be graded on feeding
stock, milking, currying horses. pro-
Viding kindling wood. carrying in
fuel and feeding poultry. Blank
spaces are left for other sorts OF
home work.

and gravity was in force in the mind
of man. In every field OF human en-
deayor all progress can be traced to
the One Source. | might multiply
examples bearing out my contention
but the thoughtful reader can supply
them for himself. The mind is
steady and fruitful in good works
when it has chosen the Creative force
back of all things to be the ballast
of his soul.
Law kept IS only law; law broken
Is both law and execution"
How true is the expression. 1t has
been verified many times through the
admitted remorse for crimes commit
ted. The penalty melted out by
guilty conscience is an execution far
more severe oftentimes, than that in
store by the state. 1t is wise econ
omy in the makeup of man that pun
isnment should be co-incidental with
sin. 1t is meant to be a saving pro-
vision in the end. In the face of this
fact there are those who will not
hearken to gentle rebuke but invite
execution in the court of his own be-
ing and finally in the court of the
land. However, most people learn
lesson from the wreckage in the
pathway of the law-breaker and
choose the better way before the
silent execution of the law of their
own being or the law of the state
Furnishes unto death.
Small courtesies sweeten life; the
greater ennoble it.
Miserable, indeed, must be those
who have not seen this quotation YER
flied. Verify, courtesy is a spark
from the treasure house of the soul
going forth to bless. When once sent
out it is as enduring as the source
from which it springs. 1t is a glim-
mering jewel that passes current
where diamonds are pure dross.
"a conservative is a man who will
not look at the new moon, out of
respect for that ancient institution,
the old one. "-Jerrold.
In heated presidential campaign |
| suppose the progressive will take |
pleasure in quoting Jerrold. Then,
in retaliation, the conservative will
perhaps answer by saying that he
is the real progressive because he can
distinguish the new moon from
piece of green cheese. So, both have
had their say and the world will con-
tinue to move regardless of which |
side secures the political bat.
Seriously, though, Jerrold has CIV
en- us a thought of striking import
ance when it is considered in its
broadcast application. Some time
| may show wherein the author may
be quoted to bear out both a critical
and complimentary deduction with
reference to ninety-fve per cent OF
