When it came to his reasons he had
none to give. Irritated, l told him
that he should explain his position
or l would dissolve the partnership,
whereupon, driven to the wall, he said
that he didn't like the shape of the

Notwithstanding this absurd reason,

to afford me an excuse for not fulfill

goods. Some months later the notes

THE BEST NEWSPAPER
WE EVER READ.

We recommend The Philadelphia
Sunday Record to all High-Grade
Home Lovers.
1t is seldom that there comes to
us a paper we can praise as whole
some and clean in every respect,
but The Philadelphia Sunday Rec
ord certainly deserves it's title as
"the greatest home newspaper of
ALL"
1t has feature pages for every
member of the family. We were
surprised at the variety and scope of
it's articles. The best artists and
authors each week contribute some
of the work that has made them
famous.
The story that interested us the
most concerned an old barn near
here that we used to play around so
many years ago that we are ashamed
to tell.
1t is just this clean, human in
terest touch that makes The Phila-
delphia Sunday Record a favorite
everywhere, particularly in the coun-
try.
Best of ali, IL COSTS only three
cents. You had better do as we did
order next Sundays copy today
and be sure of getting it.

} STRAIGHT TIP FROM FASH
tONDOM.

Where high standing collars
are worn-and there are many
people who patronize them who
cannot wear the low neck
bands of satin or moire two
inches wide are laid in plaits
around the base of the collar,
which is fashioned in net, lace
or lawn, as the particular fancy
may be. These bands fasten at
one side with tiny rosette of
satin roses, or they may be fas-
tened under two plain ends of
satin in front, lined with some
contrasting color. These replace
the necktie for tailor suits.
A novel idea is a band of black
satin, laid in folds, the satin be-
ing about one inch and half
wide around the collar. Two
broad necktie ends of the satin,
lined with old blue or orange,
fold over the front of the band
and are secured by globe shaped
buttons, buttonholed to the band.

GoodDrenching For

Rainfall General Soaking the

Kidding the Wheat and Oats
of Chinch Bugs.

Starting out Friday with a small
shower and gradually increasing in
amount to Sunday evening The ra'n
that has fallen on Chanute and vicinity
has amounted to 204 according to the
observat ons of Chase w. Brown,
Government weather observer.
Enough has fallen to give the
chinch bugs that were harming the
wheat and oats crop a thorough
drenching and do away to a great
extent with the pests The hardest
shower of the rain fell Sunday after
noon and only gradually ceased about
seven O'Clock. The clouds continue
heavy and the forecast holds but
little promise of quickly clearing
weather. The rain was of great bene-
fit here and means bumper crops, and
it was thoroughly general according
to reports from various parts of the
state. At Parsons a much needed
rain commenced fal ing May and
continued throughout Sunda I,
thoroughly soaking the ground and
placing the crops in good condition
to withstand the ravages of the chinch
bugs which had commenced to en-
danger the wheat, and delayed corn
planting.
