CLARION CHANGES HANDS.

Bert Fancher, who has been
editor and owner of the Claflin
Clarion for the past seven years,
last week completed a deal for the
sale of the same to Prof. o. J.
Weir, principal of the city schools
of that place, and who has been
connected with the Clarion in a
reportorial capacity for some
months past, Mr.. Fancher has
entered into a partnership with
A. E. Wegley in the real estate
and insurance business and ex-
poets to follow that line in the
future and will continue to make
Claflin his home. Since taking
charge of the Clarion Mr.. Fancher
has built up the business until
the paper is recognized as one of
the very best small town news
papers in the state, and the ad-
herentS of the paste brush and
scissors will be sorry indeed to
hear that Bert has quit the game,
but wish him much success in
his new business venture. Mr..
Weir has been taking hold of the
Clarion IN a way which would
lead one to believe that the paper
will continue to grow and pros
per under his management, and
it is to be hoped that such will
be the case for the people of that
community have been loyal in
the support of The paper and are
deserving of the best. S. H.
Barnd, who has been in charge
OF the mechanical department for
some time, will practically have
charge of the paper for the nexl
year as Prof. Weir will fulfill his
contract as superintendent of the
Claflin schools for another year

A GOOD RAIN

One of the heaviest rains which
has blessed this section of the
country for several years; fell
here Sunday afternoon, beginning
about 3 o'clock, and by,6 o'clock
over three inches of water had
fallen, in this immediate vicinity.
Reports from all over the counS
ty indicate that the rain was q
pretty general one, although ip
some parts of the county even
the fall was much less than here
While the moisture has delayed
the threshing the most of this
week, yet it has been a mighty
good thing, for it means that the
feed crop will be saved and it will
also be of great help to the corn
fields that were not already past
recall, and it will give the farm
ers an opportunity to get their
fall blowing finished up in good
shape. Z!

HOWARD-B D-BECKER.

The home OF MIR. and Mrs. L.
w. Howard was the scene of a
very beautiful midsummer we'd
ding Wednesday evening, August
9Th, when their only daughter,
Miss Ellen Irene, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Lewis L. Becker.
Promptly at 1892 o'clock Miss
Olive Campbell began playing
"MendelSSohn'S Wedding March"
The bridal party descended the
stairs and marched slowly to the
front porch, where in bower of
pink and white the Rev. Mr.. Eny-
cart pronounced the impressive
ceremony.
The bride was attractively
gowned in white meSSaline, effec-
lively draped with beaded net.
She carried an exquisite bouquet
of white carnations.
Miss Edna Becker, sister of the
groom, dressed in pink meSSaline
and carrying pink carnations, was
the brides only attendant.
The groom was attired in the
conventional black and was at
tended by Mr.. Rae Smith, who was
similarly dressed.
Following the ceremony a boun
tiful three course luncheon was
prepared by the brides mother,
and served on the lawn. 1t con-
sisted of sandwiches, pickles,
cheese, pink and white brick ice
cream, numerous kinds of cake,
(including a large brides cake)
and various fruits. The color
scheme, pink and white, was car
ried out throughout the evening.
The bride is a beautiful and
accomplished young woman, a
friend of all who know her.
The groom is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Becker of Great Bend vicin-
ity. He needs no introduction in
to our midst. He whom she has
chosen to honor with her heart
and hand needs must be congratu-
lated.
Many beautiful, valuable and
useful gifts were received, as a
token of the esteem in which Mr.
and Mrs. Becker are held by their
friends. A parlor suite from an
uncle, and a check from a grand
mother of the bride were among
the gifts.
j Mr.. and Mrs. Becker will make
their home about three miles
from Dent Spur where Mr.. Beck
er will operate a farm. They will
be at home after August 7.
About one hundred guests wit
messed the ceremony. The out
of-town relatives were Mr.. and
Mrs. Bronson of Larned, Mr.. and
Mrs. Doonan of Dodge City and

COUNTY FARM
MAKES GOOD RECORD.

Supt. Joe Scott of the county
farm-the Pawnee county poor
farm-reports that the ia acres
of wheat on the farm yielded
1926 bushels, or an average OF
a trifle less than 20 bushels per
acre. One 16-acre patch made 81
bushels per acre.
Mr.. Scott has sold all but about
400 bushels. He got from 81 to
| "a cents for what he sold, the
$500 bushels sold bringing ST.
1880
This amount, nearly $4,000
from one crop alone, can be con-
sidered as net income for the farm
and the taxpayers, as Supt. SCOTS
salary would have gone on just
the same whether he had planted
a wheat crop or not. He did all
of the work Of planting, bound al
the grain with the help OF one
man. and has over 400 bushel:
left on hand to pay the cost o.
threshing and other expenses. H'
sowed 8 peckS per acre last fall.
The corn crop at the county
farm will not amount to much
the dry, hot weather lately hav
ing burned it badly. 1t woult

Huge Election Ticket.

The Advertiser has received from
Mr.. J. S. Martin, former Laureny
county boy now living in Portland
Gre, copy Of an election ballot which
VAS to have been voted in the general
cec;ion yesterday. 1T is such a large
affair that if one of the Laurens coun-
ty voters should receive it through
the mails he would porbably think that
he was receiving bargain circula.
from some OF the progressive Laurens
stores. The ballot Is printed on pos
ter paper and is almost as wide as a
Eage of The Advertiser ana Is thirty
inches long. Provision IS made on il
to ballot for United States, state, dis
trict and county officers besides on
twenty EIGHT constitutional amend
tents by a referendum vote. Oregon
Is credited with being very far ad-
vanccd in her election laws with her
Australian ballot system and provi-
sion for the initiative and refcrcndur
as to constitutional amendments. The
ballot will be on display in front of
tic Idle Hour Picture Show today.
