Road Day July 2

The Golden Belt road day will be
july ?. On that day every mile OF
the road from Kansas City to the
Colorado line is to be worked and
smoothered in first class condition,
not only for the Indiana tourists but
for all travellers. 1t will be the big
gest road day Kansas ever knew and
the Golden Belt boosters expectit to
be great success.
@. M. Harger, of Abilene, presi-
dent of the association, has sent out
notices to the II vice presidents tel
ing them of the plans.
The association has also taken out
charter to protect the roads name.

Dickinson and Geary counties have
marked all Telephone poles along the
road with an 18-inch yellow band five
feet from the ground. 1t makes a
perfect guidance for tourists. Other
counties are planning to do the same.
AS part of the Midland Trail across
the continent the Golden Belt road
is going TO be great motor highway
andsetle counties along the route are
/ making it the first road across the
state.
The Indiana tourists who will pass
through here the second week in
July will carry with them all their
camp equipment, and their own com
miSsary. Each man who goes on
the tour has to deposit S400 to cover
his personal expenses and the cars
will be sold in California at the enc
of the trip to cover the additional
cost. 1t will be the most important
party of tourists that ever crossed the
state.

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is saying that "rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rapid
ly you are most likely suffering from
indigestion or constipation, which
will result eventually in serious III
ness unless corrected. Digestion be-
gins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insaliva-
ted. Then when you have a fullness
of the stomach or feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one of Chamber
1ain's Tablets Many severe cases of
stomach trouble and constipation
have been cured by the use of these
tablets They are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. Sold by all
dealers.-adv.

1t would be scheme worth while
if the red head woodpeckers could be
induced to colonize in Wa Keeney
ed locust trees. The yellow hammer,
or flicker, or high holer, as he is var
iously called, is with US in consider
able numbers almost the whole year
round, but the redhead with the
black and white body bands is seldom
seen here and then only in migrat-
ing Perhaps some old, dead tree
trunks set up in isolated situations
might induce them to nest here. All
the woodpeckers are great worm dig
gers, as well as nest diggers.

1t would be desirable thing if we
could have cement walks and cross
ings built on the south side of War
rem avenue from the Gibson corner
to the new school building, and also
on the north side of Russell avenue
from the Hardman corner eastward.
As it is now when the streets are
muddy, the travel to and from the
county high school is practically all
on one line OF walk and any lone ped
estrain who goes up against the high
school bunch about dinner time soon
realizes who has the right of way on
that line. Three cross -the-town
lines would divide the travel and
prove a convenience to all concerned
Why not build one of these lines this
year before the opening of the next
term of school. That would help
greatly and the other could be put in
later on.

There should be street light at
the southwest corner of the county
square, another at the northwest
corner, and third in front of the
building The cost toAthe city might
be fifty to sixty dollars for the three
lights but it would seem that every
taxpayer in the town would be pleas
ed to see the lights established and
approve of the expenditure of the
money.

The black and orange bird that has
been coming to Wa-Keeney during
the past five or six years is the Balti-
more Oriole- He is not called by
this name because of any direct con-
nection with the Maryland city, but
rather indirectly. Cecil Calvert, also
called Lord Baltimore, chose orange
and black as his colors and from this
the bird takes the name. Now that
the I. @. III. S. class of 1914 has chos-
en- orange and black as their colors
they may be called 'sorioles', sing or
no sing, and within year they will
be ''lording it, on the commence
ment stage. Let every bird be there
and make their colors famous! Let
them do as much fort. G. III. S. as
Lord Baltimore did for Maryland.
In some towns drinking fountains
are erected for the convenience of
the human Inhabitants and even for
the dogs Perhaps we should have
Two to four drinking foundations for
the birds in the public square to in
duce them to stop and live among
the trees. A fine spray, falling back
into a shallow basin, would afford the
birds place to drink and to bathe.
The overflow from the basin might
fill lower basin for the use of the
highly priced but useless dogs, and
the overflow from this would only
make the grass grown that much bet
ter; nothing wasted. Such a foun-
tain could be made of cement by
local works. 1t should be connected
with the lawn watering system and
arranged to be shut off over winter.
One such fountain in each quarter of
the park would add much to the
beauty and attractiveness of the
place for humanity as well as for birds
and dogs, and the cost would not be
extravagant.

His mother, and fell down and wor-

the right Is an exhortation to the
children of the country, reading:

Aside from its usefulness as an
appeal in a new, and by children
easily understood, manner, the pic
ture is passed upon by some of the
most eminent critics of the country
and declared wholly admirable as a
work Of art, some going SO far as
to say that it is the most wonderful
and beautiful lithograph ever made
in this country.
This uplift movement is to be
commended and is receiving much
favorable notice from the press OF
the land.

next two will display scenes from the

tion, What one poor boy accom-

Mexico City Faces
Bad Financial Crisis

Mexico City.-The Banco Central,
the Bank of London and Mexico, and
the Banco Nacional closed their
doors Monday. They were the three
largest financial institutions in Mex
leo. On all of them runs have been
in progress for several days.
The result of the three banks col
lapse was an immediate panic in
business circles. The money strin-
gency in the Mexican capital was al
most unbelievable. Aside from the
commercial embarrassment naturally
to have been expected, individual
holders of all sorts of currency were
convinced that they would lose their
money.
1t was believed the failures meant
the speedy end of President Huerta's
regime.
The dictator did his best, how
ever, to stave off disaster by an
nouncing that he would call ma
tional holiday from today until jan
uary l to give the shaky institutions
time to recuperate.
The bankers, indeed, said they
could open tomorrow, If necessary.
The runs. it was admitted, had al
most exhausted their liquid resources.
The one on the Bank of London and
Mexico followed it's failure to meet
its semi-annual dividend.

He fingered near-what's that he sees
There kneeling in the snow?
His own dear child, barefooted too;
He strains his ears to hear,
And as the Lord intended
He hears that plaintive prayer.
MY dear mamma, told the Lord
A little while ago,
To make my pa a sober man,
And now he will know.
And now | want to 90 to sleep,
And when my pa comes home
He won't be drunk, and Santa Claus
Won't be afraid to come
Then guardian angles sent from Heaven
To close his little eyes,
Escorted him in pleasant dreams
All over Paradise.
His father, guided by the band
Whom Heaven had sent down,
In quest of shoes, and clothes and toys
Went searching through the town.
Then homeward bound that father took
His cheerful, happy way;
His wife surprised to see him so,
The first for many day.
Ills arms WIFI DuHuItS WSll WSIS HlSuJ
With presents rich and rare;
Says he, You ueed not be surprised
The Lord does answer prayer"
Then on his knees before the Lord,
With his devoted wife,
He vowed he ne'er would drink again,
While God should give him life.
And in the morning, e'er twas light
That drunkard S listle boy
Awoke from out his pleasant dreams,
And his heart was filled with Joy.
All scattered round upon the floor
Lay clothing, books and toys,
And with his hands, and eyes and tongue
He feebly spoke his joys.
He ran to mamma and papa,
His eyes with pleasure bright,
Says he, Papa did you see God?"e
know you did last night.
oh papa, am again glad,
And so is mamma dear,
And after this know II have
A Christmas every year.

To not drink any rum,
And that is just the reason why
