resented and most enthusiastic meet

added to the church. The officers
elected were: Gust Sanders, reelected

was reelected Sunday School super
intendant. Reuben Tellengren Sec

Johnson have acquired ownership OF
the Kiron livery barn property, pur-
chasing the same last week from Mr..
7. E. Hustled of St. Charles, Iowa.
They will conduct the business until
they can dispose of same to parties
who will continue the business.
Messrs Eckblad and Butler have de-
| cided to dissolve partnership and go
out of the hotel business and on Sat
urday afternoon of this week will sell
at public sale the hotel furniture and
equipment. We are sorry to see these
gentlemen cease business here and
especially Mr.. Eckblad who is prac-
| teal hotel man and first class cook.
The E. P. SEWERS sale on Monday
was attended by a large number and
fairly good proceeds were the result.
The family will soon move into their
new home at Denison. They have
| lived here so long and formed a wide
mountaineering so that their removal
will be missed. Their scores of friends
bespeak for them success and con-
tentment in their new home
Rev. A. Anderson rendered his res.
| ignation as pastor of the Baptist
church at the New Years business
meeting. We understand that he has
not as yet decided as to where his
new field will be having several calls
from churches. The church here re-
grets his resignation as they will lose
a most loyal and untiring worker and
supporter.
Quite number of our young people
left on Monday last for Denison to
enter high school. 1t is hoped that
ere another winter Kiron will have a
high school of it's own. 1t is a dis
credit to the town and surrounding
territory but we have confidence
enough in our intelligent voters and
citizens that they will march to the
special school election called for
March II and place their decision by
their vote for new high school build
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Linman are
now at home to their many friends
in their new and splendid home north
east of town.
A special election has been called
for Jan. II to vote upon the CONSOLE
dated school question This matter
which has been the center of intense
agitation for some time past will be
given a solution on that day. Lack
of facts together with wild specula-
ton and supposition circulated have
been the cause of many of our most
intelligent citizens to be at sea in
regard to this question. We trust
that the result of the election will be
in favor of a good school in Kiron.

gent and progressive voters in this
proposed district will turn the prop
osition down. 1t will not only be an
advancement but credit to this COM
munity who have always been noted
to take the side that is right and the
most progressive.

Miss Eunice Mcbride was visiting
relatives here last week. She has
been at Logan to visit her parents and

home.
The City Hotel has changed hands
agan, Mr.. S. A. Dow having purchased
it from Mrs. r. G. Luke and thus the
management will remain as hereto
for. This will be satisfactory to the
public. If, however, Mrs. Luke had
taken charge there is no doubt bu;
that she would have maintained the
high standard that has been set here
to-fore. Mrs. Luke is thorough bus
mess woman and there is no doubt
but that she would have made sue
cess had she undertaken the manage
ment of the business.

Variations in Earth's Surface.

According to Sir John Murray, the
famous oceanographer, who was kill
ed a few days ago near his home in
Scotland, the highest mountain on
the face of the globe is Mount
Everest in the Himalaya range, the
summit of which, according to the
latest measurements, is 29,002 feet
above the level of the sea. II
Mount Everest were to be placed IN
the Swire Deep, where the Planet
took it's soundings off Mindanao,
there would be 30S7 feet of water
flowing over its summit. II we add
the height of Mount Everest, z9,0O2
feet, to the depth of the Planets
deepest sounding, 32,0S9 feet, we get
81 ,091 feet, or over eleven and a
half miles, as the extreme range OF
variation in the level of the earth s
crust. We must remember, now
ever, that the diameter Of the earth
is 1900 miles, or nearly 700 times
greater than that variation. Thus,
we might compare the terrestrial
globe to an orange, and the rough-
ness of the orange skin to the
mountain heights and ocean depths
on the surface of the earth. II
we could be transported some lit
tie distance into space, SO that we
could view our globe as whole from
the outside, the earth would appear
as a virtually smooth ball.

In the new 12-inch we'll drilled on
the Lirette property near Montegut,
the driller discovered that cypress
logs are buried from two to three
hundred feet deep in the ground; !;
they often impede the progress OF
drilling. This is a remarkable depth
to find distractions Of this kind, and
the oil people are greatly interested
in the new discovery, believing it is
an omen for the success Of the well.

A Straw in the Wind.
Republicans, 10,649.
Democrats. 5.143.

Democrats, 5,143.
This is the result in the Paterson
congressional district OF New Jersey,
where a Republican defeated Dem
ocrat to succeed Democrat in a
district normally Democratic, over
the hurried-in aid of the administra-
tons most noted leaders and per-
sonal plea from the president, him
self a New Jersey citizen.
The Republican, Passaic contrac'
tor named Drukker, comparatively lit
tie known, defeated James J.
O'Byrne, one of the states noted
men.
The issue, avowedly, was endorse
ment of reputation of the admins
tration's later developed policies.
The tariff figured first, but subse-
quently it was, "Shall the Panama
canal be an American possession-or
divided with England!'
This is, of course, a straw in the
wind, and the wind in the Passaic
district may have been an eddy in the
nation-current Of opinion. But from
such signs alone can one Judge tae
trend of public thought.
The shift in two short years, or
rather a shift in a few short months,
from a majority for Bremner, the
former Democratic congressman who
recently died, to two to one plural,
ity for Republican openly and siren
uously opposing Woodrow Wilson in
his own home state-is an index that
no man can refuse to take as signif.
| icant.
This also, is to be considered here
in Louisiana: In New Jersey, the
voters have been trained to vote as
they think! Two years ago they
thought for and with Wilson. On
Tuesday of this current week they
thought and voted against Wilson and
against Wilson's candidate, and did
so in the face of most urgent plead
ings.-New Orleans Item.

approved Methods of Cotton Selec-
finY1

The so-calIed running out" OF va
rieties of cotton is largely due to
the neglect of the grower in select
ing his seed. Continued selection is
necessary to maintain the uniform
ity and productiyeness of any va
riety of cotton, but the methods OF
selection used in the past We're such
as to require so much time and teen
nical skill as to be impracticable Tor
the farmer.
Simpler and more effective meth
DDS have been developed and ex-
planned in circular entitled "Cot-
ton Selection on the Farm by the
Characters of the Stalks, Leaves,
and Bolls." This is supplied free OF
charge by the Bureau of Plant In
dustry to interested growers.
Farmers who will limit themselves
to the growing of one kind of cotton
and take the necessary precautions
to preserve the stock and avoid ad-
mixture with other varieties, can
produce better seed than they can
buy through any OF the existing
commercial channels. They can not
only increase their own crops, but
gain additional profits by selling seed
to their neighbors. The demand fo1
better seed is now very general and
represents an important opportunity
for the more intelligent farmers OF
each community.

what you could get right here at

you spend at home circulates right
