ABILENE A BEAUTIFUL TOWN
SAYS TRIGG, STAR WRITER

abilene is one Of the two hand
soonest towns in the, state" said
Fred Trigg. editorial writer of the
Kansas City Star who spent the
night here. He is with Henry Allen
reporting the meetings. He was
driven over Abilene's eight miles Of
pavement and was much pleased
with the city's appearance. He noted
the many handsome homes, the
pretty bungalows, the cement tele-
phone poles and public buildings.
''The beauty Of these Kansas
towns" said he, sis their whole
someness and the fact that they
have no ragged edges. Pretty, well
kept homes are seen away out to
the very edge Of the wheat and
fields and there are no
'slums' or shacks to destroy the fine
appearance of your streets. What
a beautiful picture!" he exclaime d

Of the finest views in Kansas and

For Representative

There Is reason in all things and
there is surely a reason why you
should concern yourself about your
legislative representative whom you
will send to Topeka to transact your
business for you there and make or
amend the laws by which you are
to be governed. Simply because
man is good fellow, good cam
paigner and a clever politician is
not sufficient reason why you should
support him for so important posi-
ton. Your serious concern should
he. Is he proven success as busi-
ness man, can he successfully fight
the battles Of the people. will he
study the needs Of his constituents
and industriously work out legisla-
tion to benefit them and at the same
time be fair and just to all people
in the entire state, these are vital
things that count. Mr.. Lamb, the
Progressive candidate for represen-
tative for this district challenges the
voters to Investigate his qualifica-
tons" for the office, look him up
and II he measures up to your re-
quirements he will very much ap-
preciate your support. wit

ALEX. WILSON INJURED
Bone in Right Leg Broken When He
Fell Under Wagon Wheel

Alex Wilson, who lives at Sol w
North Seventh, was bringing a load
Of wheat into town from his farm
out south Monday morning, and as
the air was cold, had climbed down
from the wagon and was walking
along the road with the reins in his
hands. He stumbled and fell in
front of one of the hind wheels.
The horses became frightened and
started to run. The heavily loaded
wagon was pulled over Mr.. Wilson's
right leg, and small bone in his
ankle broken, the ligaments wrench
ed and the leg bruised badly. The
accident happened in front of the
McCulloh farm, and Mr.. McCulloh
was attracted to the place by Mr..
Wilson's calls for aid. Mr.. McCul-
lob brought Mr. Wilson to town.
The team ran some distance with
the wheat and stopped only when
they struck sand.
1t is strange that Mr.. Wilson was
not injured worse, as the wagon
wheel passed directly over the large
ankle bone. He will be confined to
his home for three or four weeks.

WHY 1000 DRUGGISTS

out OIL as the greatest tonic recon
structor and strength creator they
have ever sold, it must indicate the
value of Vinol.
We could publish columns of such
testimony as the following:
j. c. Brady, druggist. of Fall River,
Mass, says: In cases where cod
liver oil, emulsion other tonics
fail, Vinol will heal, strengthen. and
cure"
C. A. Potterfeld, druggist, of
Charleston, w. Va. says: "It. is a
pleasure to sell Vinol as it gives such
universal satisfaction"
Hunter & McGee, druggists, of
jackson, Miss, say: I'VE have great
confidence in the strength creating
and curative value of Vinol."
We ask every rundown, nervous,
debilitated, aged or weak person or
any person suffering from chronic
coughs, colds or bronchitis, to try
a bottle of Vinol with the understand

HARRISBURG SUFFERS
LEAST IN STORM
Continued from First Page1

Winds shrieking through the city
streets at speed of 3S miles an hour
swept the inch or more of snow which
fell this morning into every corner,
drifting streets and nearby country
roads into almost impassibility. The
lowest temperature last night was IL
degrees
The cold weather and high winds
closed twelve of the city schools to-
day. including Central High Scnool.
In other cities traffic and business
were at a standstill. In this city, how
ever, cars were running on most lines
although they were from five to fifteen
minutes behind schedule time. All
telephone, telegraph and electric light
wires were reported in good shape,
except in a few outlying districts. A
pole belonging to the Independent
Telephone Company fell across the
tracks of the Rockville trolley line,
but was removed.
Storm General on Seaboard
The storm howled about its fruits
of suffering and destruction to-day
from Eastport, Maine, to Savannah,
Ca, while q cold wave, rolling down
from the great lakes country, over
spread the Atlantic States as far south
as Florida. Lowest temperatures ever
recorded in March were registered In
points in the Southeast. Centering
over Southern New England to-day
the storm brought heavy SHOWS north
of Maryland and caused shifting gales
all along the Atlantic coast. No ma
rine disasters had been reported. Still
colder weather in New England was
predicted tonight but a warmer wave
moving on from the plains States to-
day promised relief for the entire
coast by tomorrow and Wednesday.
The delivery wagon of the Bricker
bakery of Lemoyne was overturned
early this morning on the Walnut
street bridge by the force of the wind.
Bread, pies and cakes were scattered
everywhere, but the driver, Harry
Kockenderfer, was not injured.
The wind turned the wagon complete
ly over.
The police ambulance skidding down
the driveway of Capitol Park at Third
and State streets, collided with a
Third street trolley car about o'clock
this morning. A woman who had be-
come i'll whileat work in the Capitol
was being taken to her home. No
one was injured. but the front part
of the ambulance was so badly dam
aged that 1t will have to be put in
the repair shop for a day or two.
A maple tree six inches in diameter
standing in front of the home of
Charles Bishop at Washington Heights
was torn from it's roots by the heavy
winds last night.
Man Blown From Car.

North Front street employed in the
