School Bonds To
Be Re-Advertised

When the bids for the one hundred
and ten thousand dollars worth of
Chanute school bonds we're opened at
the meeeing of tie Board of Educa-
tion Monday evening it was found
that only seven. thousand dollars
worth had been accepted at four and
three. quarters per cent. By telephon-
ing to Topeka 1t was learned that the
State School fund would have the
money for the district by the ii st Of
July. They promised to take over at
least half the bonds and perhaps all,
at that time. Howe yer it was decid-
ed by the Board that it would be good
policy to readvertise the bonds at
five per cent, This Is being done and
the bids will be opened next Monday
evening.

Marching Away.

]. C. Bradshaw has written the
following, suggested by the encamp-
ments of the G.. A. R.
"Marching away, marching away,
weary and old and bent and gray;
down the long slope of the sunset
hill, down to the valley SO cold and
still where the bivouac fires burn
low and dim and taps are played by
the bugler grim. Oh, they marched
away in the days of old with their
coats of blued and their hearts of
gold; they marched away with a
manly stride under Old Glory, side
by side, forth to battle the boys in
gray-dear old davs when they
marched away with drum and bugle
and sword and gun to fight for the
flag in sixty-one. Marching away
to the silent land where white tents
CLEAN on the golden strand one by
one from the ranks they fall, soon
will they answer the last roll call,
soon with comrades their march
shall be down to the shore of the
mystic sea. Their eyes are dim and
their steps are slow, they have lost
the stride of the long ago; but here's
to the brave Old Guard today,
marching, away, away, away.

BOOSTERS START
ON THREE DAYS TRIP
Twenty Two Cars in Line
Carrying Nearly Seventy
Five Passengers Including
Eight Piece Band.

The Chanute Boosters started
from the corner Of Main and High
land last Monday shortly after
eight o'clock with cars numbering !
up to 22. This was the number Of
cars which it was expected would
draw for place in the line. They
headed south on Highland with
pathfinder Bodley leading il his
big Wlnton Six. The cars follow
ing hlm were of class that would
look good anywhere they were seen,
city or otherwise Few towns can
put out better looking bunch of
cars, taking them all in all, than
the bunch that started on three
days tour this morning. The
trouble cars brought up the rear.
They were loaded with tires of
various sizes and all sorts OF repairs
and tools that might come handy
on trip of that length.
The cars were for the most part
carrying Chanute penusnts and the
Boosters wore the regulation Booster
uniform of linen duster and gray
soft silk hat.

Car Dashes
From Bridge
One Passenger Jumps
Slightly Hurt. -.-Other Es-
capes Unscathed.

What might have been an ex-
tremely serious automobile accident
happened Surd y morning on the
road TO carlton within a mile of
the town. A handsome new seven
passenger six cylinder Keeton of
the latest model, wire wheels and
all, was driven in to Chanute Sun.
d'y morning from Kansas City by
an Oklahoma City man and
chauffeur from Kansas City where
the car had been purchased. They
left town Sunday morning starting
for Oklahoma City and before
reaching h9rlton were having a
little trouble with their windshield;
so did not notice that they were
approaching bridge until they
were nearly on it. The owner,
new hand at driving, turned the
wheel to the left and the car took
bannisler and all and fell ten feet
down into the water in the ditch
below. A willow sapling held the
car upright engine under the water
or it would have turned over, PIN
ming the men underneath. The
factory man made an attempt to
save the car, as they struck the
bridge and sprained his hand in
the wheel, then he jumped from the
car and received a few bruises.
The owner who was at the wheel
had not time or opportunity to get
away and stayed with the ship. He
was not hurt. The car was net so
seriously damaged bu, fender and
lamps were all to the bad, and one
axle very badly bent. The car
was equipped with the new wire
wheels and came out of the mix up
without showing signs of the hard
usage. The car is in local garage
being repaired before the trip can
be continued.

EIGHTEEN MILES OF GRASSHOPPERs

A column Of grasshoppers travelling
northeastward were In eastern New
Mexico yesterday, Reports that the
millions of grasshoppers seem to
spread as they travel and also the
appearance Of smaller bodies have
caused fear Of general grasshopper
plague in the. Southwest, especially
Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico.
1t is reported that the column Of
grasshoppers five miles wide and
eighteen miles long is denudlng

kinds Of foliage Stock, especially
sheep, have left the pastures In

JUST HERE AND THERE

With the amount of building going
on and new fronts being put in
many store buildings, we cannot see
where anyone can think a dull
season is going to grab Chanute.
The merchants evidently don't.
Advertising must pay. The Good
year Tire Company gets out a free
paper which it sends to every gar
age in the country. And that's
some argument for the unbelievers.
If any of the surrounding towns
have any idea that this town is a
dead one, they don't have when the
Boosters get through with them.
Chanute has an autopobile club
and it is about up to the motorcycle
riders to have a motorcycle club.
Almost every town around has a
pop pop club.
Reads a sign on a door of an
East Main street store-"CIosed,
Goodbye" and everything is dark
and dreary.
And another prominent sign in a
garage-"Man is made of dust.
Dust settles-Are you a man1"

O'clock this morning floating down
the Kaw !iver, twelve miles east OF

The body was discovered by JIi n
Williams, a farm hand and fisherman,
while he was on the river In boat
1t is generally believed that the
little boy must have fallen from a
boat. Just where the tragedy &C.
Cured is not definitely known, but
he tnding Of tricycle. at the foot OF
Ohio street, near the boat landing,
and the fact that the child was seen
descending the steps which led to the
river, together with the knowledge
Of his fondness for playing In the
water from a boat led to the theory,
1t was believed for short time
that the little fellow had been kid
rapped by baud of gypsies, and
reward was offered. However, when
1t became apparent that the child
had been drowned, the river was
dragged and dynamite was used in q
effort to raise the body, but in vain.

INVOKED the divine blessing and
:;upt. J. F. Hughes introduced the
speaker of the evening, Prof. w. e.
A. Slaght of Baker University.
The subject of Prof. Slaght's address
was "f1eights Heroic"
"The main thought which 1 wish
TO bring before these forty young
people seated behind rae this eve
nlng' said Prof Slaghty Ffs that in
the character of our ideals does
our real life exist. From all Other
creatures are we separated by our
power to look back over the past
and to shape visions for the future.
Our ideals are in those visions.
You are the arbiters of your own
destiny. See that those visions are
high and lofty, then may you reach
the heights heroic that have been
reached by some of the greatly
loved MN and women IF history.
That we can not realize our iieals
and make our visions real is largely
because of lack of preparation and
of the stain of impurity. Strive Il"
learn TO do one thisg better thai
anyone else can do 1t and then
success is yours, "HeroIc Heights"
may be attained.
Following the Commencement
address, DR.. w. E Royster, Presi

ing, not only for four years but
for eight years. A college course
is open to every one of you. To
him who has his own way to make
through school, education means
more than to the one who has his
way made for him."
Supt. Hughes then said a few
words of farewell to the class closing
with "Your failures are in a sense
our failures, and your successes we
too share, but whatever your share
in life remember that the best
wishes of the Chanute High School
Faculty go with you."
Rev. w. W. Searcy, pastor of
the Baptist church pronounced the

The Athens Record in pointing out
the needs of its village says, very
truthfully:
1t is simply up TO the business men
OF Athens and locality. A town that
ships as much produce, up sometimes
to five hundred cars month, is in a
position to make successful appeal
to the Northwestern or some other
good railroad for branch line from
Wausau or Marshfield. The North
western already has survey through

was brought to bear, backed by our
