A reporter for the Booster the other
day heard young man, recently ar
rived in Marble, complaining of the
scarcity of single girls here. He de-
clared that it was well nigh impossible
to engage company for . dance or
other form of entertainment, and he
hated to "stag" it to these eveats.
He had found out in his brief time Of
residence here that practically every
single girl in Marble is engaged to be
married, or expects to be shortly. This
young fellow tells the truth and there
ought to be steps taken to remedy such
. deplorable state of Affairs. Their,
never was q town that held such at
tractive inducements to unmarried la
dies, desiring to hook up, as this one.
The place is fairly eongested with ELI
gible, dedrable, congenial, handsome,
well-to-do bachelors. Some of them,
it is true, are over ripe; they should
have been picked long time ago, but

tached young ladies. Why doesn I

BOOMING BREWER FOR
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

J. e. Brewer of Abilene is a pros
pective candidate for lieutenant
governor on the Republican ticket
next fall, according to friends in
Topeka. Mr.. Brewer has been
prominent in state affairs for years,
especially in the Fifth district, and
has been member of the state sem
ate from Dickinson county, now
represented by j. w. Howe. secretary
of the board of control. He has
made no announcement of his in
tentions as yet, and probably will
not until after the meeting of the
Republican national committee this
week in Washington, but sends in
the Fifth are starting a quiet boom
for the Abilene business man. To
peka Capital.
Questioned regarding the above
Mr.. Brewer said today: ''This is the
first time / had heard Of such a
boom and all my natural raodesty
win allow me to say is that. speak
ing as an unprejudiced observer. the
Republicans might go farther and
do worse"

Lawrence Gazette: Just now CHI

Lawrence Gazette: Just now char
table associations are beginning
active work in order to have things
ready for the poor at Christmas
time. That is an excellent thing to
do. and thee gO0a people who are
engaged in the splendid work should
be given encouragement assistance
and cash. Yet no one should take 1t
for granted that few old clothes or
dollar or two given to the charita-
BILE associations finishes the duty
and pays the debt owing to the
poor. There is not man in BUSH
ness but knows of some deserving
person or family that will not be
reached by the public charities ASSOC
Citations, nor vet by official charity;
there are many in need who will
accept aid from neither source, but
to whom relief could quietly and
unostentatiously be given, and ac-
cepted in the same spirit that 1t was
given. See to 1t that you do your
duty in this way, as well as in a
public manner.

KANsANs AFTER sSOO. GOO.

There Is q small college in east
ern Kansas that has sent out more
missionaries to the foreign field
than any other college in America
in proportion to the number OF stu
dents enrolled. This very interest
ing fact is brought to public notice
at the present time by the campaign
of Baker university for a half mil
lion dollars for a permanent en-
dowment fund. This college is To-
Gated at Baldwin, Kansas, and has
been made famous all over the coun-
try by such graduates as Joe Bris-
tow and Bishop Quayle. For more
than a half century this sturdy col
lege has stood for high ideals, the
cultural elements in education, I'M
der Christian direction. In these
years It has turned into the busy
world nearly a thousand graduates.
The present movement for half
million dollars is to place the col
lege on such strong basis that 1t
may do for years to come a more
intense and practical grade Of work.
The interest only from this large
fund is to be used 1t Is the present
purpose to secure $4,000 Of this
half million in popular subscriptions
from tho fhraa hundrad Math0dist
churches in the territory adjacent
to Baker university. The general
education board of New York has
already offered $125,00O toward
this big sum and a number Of large
gifts are in sight from friends of
the college. Already thirty-four
churches have made their canvass
and rolled up over twenty thousand
dollars and the campaign is scarce
ly thirty days old.
Our own local Methodist church
is interested in this big movement
and expects to come across the line
with very substantial help for this
fine old college.
The eyes OF all Kansans are on
this college and this mass movement
and their best wishes are for this
movement. There will. be a lot of
good people too that will open their
purses and help Baker make good.

"TAG, YOU'RE TT" If
YOU HAVE NO LICENSE

If you have not motor car or
motorcycle license, you may expect
to find a tag containing an applica-
ton blank for state license on
your cycle or car, and that will be
a pretty good warning that it is
time to pay your fee. The tags are
sent out by Secretary of State Ses-
sions, and when in town the other
day he left a supply with Marshal
Engle. Little trouble has been ex-
perienced with the owners of motor
vehicles in this county.

Brighter Light for Rural Homes.

From the tallow candle to the coal
oil lamp was indeed great step for
ward as a method of lighting, but
the step from the ordinary coal oil
lamp to the new Improvd Portable
Gasoline lamps of today is a much
greater step forward.
Science has so far solved the prob
lem of home lighting, that gasoline
lamp will produce powerful, brilliant
light, equal to 300 candles, from a
mixture of SO per cent air and per
cent gasoline, at cost of only one
third of cent per hour.
These lamps properly constructed
for using gasoline may be carried
about the house just as any other
lamp, in fact they are more useful, as
a great many of them can be turned
upside down while burning, without
the least danger and without de-
molishng the value of light. They
are a great deal safer than the ordin-
airy kerosene local oil), for the reason
that in case they meet with an ac-
