The Cyrus bali team with
several of our players to help
went to Arnold one day last
week to play the Arnold team
and got a lickin' to the tune of 5
to 2.
The Y. P. B. s took a trip out
to the creek northwest of town
last week to fish, etc. We did not
learn what luck they had fishing
but heard that they had very
good time otherwise.
Say we hear a good many
more inquiries for rain coats and
slickers this spring than we
have heard for quite number
of years and no doubt they have
been needed worse too.
Been rather windy here the
last few days of last week and
we notice a few fields in the
southwest neighborhood blowing
again. A little ridging with the
lister would help stop this.
The young mems class of the
M. E. S. S. had entire charge
of the Sunday school last Sun
day and handled it in very
creditable manner. Next Sun
day the young ladies will have
charge.
James Kendall and son, Frank,
left last week for their home in
Kansas City. Jim talked some
of buying wheat out here, but
we did not learn whether he
made any definite arrangements
or not.
Our drayman has been quite
busy the last week attending to
the wants of the people and I'M
loading three cars of coal,
one of lum Der and one of corn
with a runaway between times
and few other minor duties.
The harvest hand problem
will no doubt be serious
proposition that the farmers will
have to contend with this year,
but say we might go to Colorado
and bring down a few thousand
of the striking miners there,
who, no doubt, would be glad to
get a job i'll the harvest field at
big wages.
We see by the paper reports
that the Mexicans are still
fighting among themselves, and
peace seems no nearer than it
was two months ago. Huerta
still wants to hang onto his job,
which is what most of US would
be very glad to let loose of the
way things generally go with ex-
! dictators down there.
What we need worst in Ness
county is few more good peo-
pie to farm some of the idle
ground so that it will produce
something besides weeds and
dust storms and we believe
that the formation of a booster

materially in advertising our
