the soul of childhood lies almost bare
in the clear, expectant eyes, from
school-out till supper, from supper
to bed something more than
play is needed. Children feel this
and wait, and prowl about for ma
terial of a stouter weave, something
fibered with the full life roundabout
and impending; and, adventuring un-
guided, they get knowledge and
scars.
Organized play will not fill this
gap in education. Manual training
has limitations. But in every home
lie neglected means of giving TO its
youth a strengthening and charac-
ter-making apportionment of the
days work.
Partly because of chores the rural
youth, despite increasing proportion
ate disadvantages, will go on regu
iarly to the hard, high places. Land
about a home means chores.-Col-
lier's Weekly.

Alone in the Field

A young Chicago man went to a
western town in the first days of the
oil excitement out there to see what
was stirring.
The day after he arrived he went
into a restaurant to get his break
fast and found an old friend sitting
at the table to which he was as
signed.
Hello" said the man at the table.
when did you come in, Jim?"
81 got here yesterday. How long
have you been here?"
"Six months. What are you 80
ing to do?"
ooh, just look around and try to
make an honest dollar
WELL" said the six-months man,
you ought to make your fortune.
You won't have any competition. -

Contract Let For Bridge

At their meeting Tuesday, the
county commissioners let the con-
tract for a bridge across the Gin
AKRON at what is known as the
Edmond'S crossing. The Western
Construction Company of Wichi-
ia landed the contract and is to
complete the structure within
ninety days. When completed,
the bridge will be 1876 feet long
with a sixteen foot roadway. 1t
has been the desire of automobile
owners and people in that part of
the county to have this bridge con-
structed and they have worked
toward that end with much per-
sistance and consequently are
elated over the letting of the con-
tract. With the county sur
veyor, Joe Trindle, the commits
sioners viewed the proposed road
from a point seven miles north of
Liberal, then north through Ar
kalon to Kismet. Action on the
road was deferred until their
meeting, August 5th.

New Firm

L. V. Gardiner and w. H. Vic
kers purchased the Hoskinson &
Titus feed, grain and coal bus
mess this week, taking charge
yesterday. The firm will be
known as the Gardner 6 Vickers
Feed and Coal Store. Hoskinson
& Titus do not go out of the imp
lement business and will have
their headquarters with the new
firm who will occupy the same
building that their predecessors
have. They will also continue to
run the feed grinder which is in
a building near the creamery. The
men who are retiring frome the
part of the business to the new
management need no words of
introduction in the continuation
of the implement business and the
men who bought them out have
been here so long that they need
no words of Identification other
than to explain that Mr.. Gardner
has been in the real estate bus
mess with Mr.. Terwilliger for
two years or more and Mr.. Wick
ers has been connected with the
Liberal Creamery for some time
So thay are not absolute strangers
to the county or in the business
part of the city's ways. The new
faces in the old place will be a.
bout the only change that will be
perceptible to the public having
business in the coal line because
both firms will have offices in the
old Hoskinson & Titus place.
Both firms however expect to
make special effort along the lines
they have aud will be found max
ing highest prices to those who
have produce to sell or machinery
to buy.

TEASE WHISKERS
IN TARIFF TALKS

Washington, D. c., May 2.-Whis-
kers figured conspicuously in an inter-
change of personalities between Rep
resentatives Thomas of Kentucky and
Mann of Illinois and others in the
house today, while the tariff bill was
pending
ThomsS amid convulsive laughter,
referred to Mann as "the whiskered
gentleman from Illinois," to Fordney
of Michigan as the hairless wonder
from Michigan" and so Murdock of
Kansas as the gentleman from Kan
sas who sports sunset locks around
the house"
Thomas advised Mann to get shaved
and asserted the minority leader had
consumed volumes of the congression-
al record with mixed metaphors and
insipid nothingness and so had cost
the government possibly ten million
dollars since he had been rafting
around on that side of the house."
Mann ended the incident by saying
that Thomas has hair on the brain
but Bone on the top of his head"
"The gentleman from Kentucky,
Mann added, says l am bewhiskered
That is true, but at least | am not
bewhiskied."

which the stock was sold to me, The
transaction was bonafide and made
without any expectation that any ex-

be realized. F'''4'fs
Between the time Of the sale and
the closing of the transaction l had

funds amounts exceeding in the ag-
