For the Soldier Dead

Fifty years ago-the eyes of
our oldest citizens dim with the
memory of a nation trembling
and weak in the havoc of war;
of wives, mothers and sweet
hearts sore in the travail of wait
ing for husbands, sons and lovers
to return; of new graves and sor-
row deeper than tears. So now
we are about to observe Memo
rial Day, and on another page of
the News, this week we publish
a special feature concentrating
the occasion, which we believe
our readers will appreciate.
Just now one clean up week
would show to what excellent
use the other weeks could be put.
They say T. R. blushed pain
fully when he discovered a. tribe
of unclothed savages in the wilds
of Brazil, magnificent in their
personal charms"
While the acreage of corn is
not as big this year as in former
| years, on account of the acreage
of small grain being so big, we
will bet the corn will be better
tended than in former years, and
if it is the chance is the yield
will be big enough to make up
for the small acreage.
It now seems that the Pro-
gressives will put out full county
tickets in most every county in
Kansas. Some time ago the
Progressives of Cherokee county
met and effected a permanent
county organization, and passed
resolutions favoring the putting
out of a full ticket in every coun-
ty in the state.

A Safe Judgment.

In these days of multiplicity of
newspapers, no class of people have
a more important choice to make
than our farmers. "Too many farm
papers" is an expression often heard.
Yes: there are a lot, all of value,
doubtless, but some are so clearly
better than others that it seems easy
TO choose.
Take the Chicago BREEDERS
GAZETTE" as an example of super
excellence and superior-value at the
price, $1.00. 1t is so easily the
ranking leader of the farm press
that it comes first in the hearts Of
al who know if. We viii send it

She seemed so disappointed, be-

At the next place we asked for

BOILED BACON

Boiled bacon to serve with green's
is an economical dish. An unbleach-
ed head of curly endive is enough
for four people, large helpings. Or
use spinach. 1t is not necessary to
serve it with the slices of bacon plas-
tered over it like a cover to a hay
stack.

ing more or less than heat and

me to take a big block Of stock to
be paid out of our dividends and what
we can save. He also said that if he
might give me little advice he would
suggest that 1 have part of my sal
airy made over to you each month,
because l might be away lot this
next year"
Do you suppose, little book, that
Dick has forgotten that this was the
plan he rejected with scorn when 1
proposed it this morning?
do you think Margie, that you
could pay our board and dress your
self on two hundred a month";"
ooh, you dear, dear boy" l ex-
claimed, 81 have wanted you to do
that, but 1 did not have the courage
to ask it."
ct hasn't seemed to me that you
lacked courage when you thought
you wanted me to do something"
said Dick with that crooked smile.
l did not say anything, but l won
dered if President Selwin had asked
him to send part of his check to me
because he knew that money always
slipped through the dear boys fin
gers.
Dick told him the stock was mine,
and, bless his dear heart, he had the
whole thousand shares made out in
my name.
Dick is wonderful in the big things
of life, and I'm a foolish woman to
let the little things worry me.
