LIVE LITTLE TOWN
MOrganyille Now Has Wide
Awake Commercial Club.
And Citizens Are Boosting for
Electric Lights.

Morganville, Kan, March 27.--The
business men and public spirited citi-
zens of Morganville have organized
Commercial club. The officers are:
G. I. Bodine, who served ten years as
mayor of the town, president; J. =.
Hughes, vice president; L. D. Huff,
secretary, and Alvin Carlson, treas
urer.
The membership has grown to about
sixty, and the officers will not let up
until they have reached 100 or more.
The club members are vigorously at
work on the proposition of lighting
the town with electricity, and are re-
gotiating with Clay Center and Con-
cOrdia to furnish electric power.
There is another movement on foot
to pave the main travelled street from
town to the depot, about three blocks
Another proposition to come before
the club is the need of a city hall. in
which the township will be asked to
take part Such hall can be used for
city and township needs as well as
for public meetings, as is the case
with a similar hall in PlainvilIe, Kan.
The Commercial club is expected to
take an active interest in the annual
fall fair and festival. which already
has proven big benefit to Morgan
vile business interests and the town
in general.
More than 100000 bushels Of
wheat of last years crop have been
marketed in Morganville The three
crop. They report the prospects for
a crop this year very encouraging.
Big Flour Industry.
The Federated mills under the
management of Silver Bros have built
up great trade with their flour. The
plant is a substantial asset to the COM
mercal importance of Morganville and
the trade of this section. Carload lots
of the flour are shipped both east and
west.
The two banks of Morganvi1le re-
port aggregate deposits of 100000.
The MOrganville Mercantile COM
pany has changed owners, the Berg
gren Bros. retiring and n. S. F1ack of
Blue Rapids getting possession. Many
needed improvements are being made
in the interior of the building Mr.
F1ack has large commercial interests
in Blue Rapids.
The w. d. Vincent hardware bust
ness has also changed hands, the
Mead Bros. becoming the owners.
H. A Swenson has taken charge of
the Commercial hotel
Morganville has population of not
less than $50, and they sent a full
carload of flour to the Belgian aid
fund.

WILL NOT GIVE UP FIGHT.
P1ttsburg Normal Not Discouraged
Over Losing Building.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 27-"We
are off in the fight to convince the
legislature of 1917 that we are en-
titled to fine big building Presi-
dent w. A. Brandenburg, of the State
Manual Training Normal, said as soon
as he had recovered from the disap-
pointment caused by the news that
the governor had vetoed the item
which gave the Normal $4,000 for a
unit for a new building.
We must keep building up the in
stltution in spite of the congested con-
dltions," he said, land show conclu-
sively the absolute necessity of more

The action of Governor Capper Gre
ated intense disappointment and was
a surprise to the men of Pittsburg
who had subscribed more than $780,
600 to loan to the state for the re-
building of Russ hall after the fire
last summer.
The average daily attendance at the
PittSburg Normal has increased 81
per cent during the past three years
and the total enrolment has increased
more than 46 per cent during the
same time.

Sister of Herbert Dale Tells of
Conditions in England.
All Lights Out-And Soldiers
+, Sleep in Houses.

Mrs. Harry Lacey, a sister of Her
bert Dale of Topeka, manager of the
local r. G. Dun & Company office,
has written Interestingly of conditions
in Sheerness, a docking town SO miles
east of London, which is kept in dark
ness at night for fear of an airship
raid.
The letter reads in part:
Everywhere is darkness even in the
town. The street lamps are not light
ed and the shopkeepers have had to
put up dark blinds to prevent any
light from shining the streets. So
you almost have to feel your way
especially when there are no stars. We
do not go out at night any more than
is necessary. There do not seem to
be any accidents and We IRE getting
quite used to the darkn"
Soldiers are in neal = all the
to four of them in a room. 1t is neces-
sary to provide a mattress for them
and one is said nine pence a night for
each man, but anyone whose husband
PEELED to have the soldiers and so I
have not had any. 1t seems queer to
hear bugle call every morning in the
streets
''All the schools and chapels are
opened for the soldiers every evening
and cocoa with cakes is provided at
cost price. Often concerts are gotten
up for their special entertainment"
Herbert Dale has a brother Walter
who has just been promoted to the
lance, work ship for repairing ships
of the fleet. which carries a force of
10 workmen. He is the youngest
confirmed foreman of the engineers
branch.
Dale has another brother Arthur
who is a warrant officer on the Aga
memnon now bombarding the Darda-
nelleS.

CASCARETS KEEP

AND CURE COLDS
No headache sour stomach. bad cold

morning.
Get a Decent box.

Colds-whether in the head or any
part of the boGy-are quickly over
come by urging the liver to action
and keeping the bowels free of poison.
Take Cascarets tonight and you will
wake up with a clear head and no
doubt you will wonder what became
of your cold. CascaretS work while
you sleep; they cleanse and regulate
the stomach, remove the sour, undi-
gested food and foul gases: take the
excess bile from the liver and carry off
the conStipated waste matter and
poison from the bowels.
Remember the quickest way to get
rid of colds is one or two Cascarets at
night to cleanse the system. Get a 10
cent box at any drug store. Don't
forget the children They relish this
Candy Cathartic and it is often all
that is needed to drive cold from

So the five little mice sat up in
a row and folded their arms while
tLeir mother washed their faces,
and they did not squeak as they
usually did, but let her rub as hard
as she liked
Then she took them to the hole
and looked out very cautiously.
y GU must keep very close to me-,
she said, land if | should rum you
must scamper into this hole.
SO they passed out of tie hole
and size showed them the bags Of
grain and meal that wele in the
barn.
Just then Pussy walked in at
the door Mrs. Mouse could not
get her little ones to the hole with
out passing by her, SO she ram
pack of some barrels and told them
to follow her
Pussy pretended that she did not
see item but she sat down Fight i'm
front of the hole where Mrs. Mouse
lived
when l say rum Mrs. Mouse
told her little ones, do not wait
to see where | am, but get into the
hole as quickly as you can. Nov
Sit very sill until | say run"
Mrs. Mouse went over to the side
OF the barrel where she knew Pussy
could see her, and then SHE ran up
the side of the barrel. Quick as
wink Puss was up the side of the
barrel and into it, and Mrs. Mouse
called to her little ones run" and
they scampered for the hole and
We're safe.
Nov Pussy did not know of the
hole in the bottom of the barrel
but Mrs Mouse knew, and as Puss
came over the top, Mrs Mouse ran
out OF the hole and was in
her home before Pussy could wink.
But that was not the worst of it
for Pussy, for she could not get
out of the barrel. The sides were
SO smooth that try as she would
She could not climb them.
When her master came out to
feed the horses he heard her
scratching.
"Why are you in there?" he ask
ed as he lifted her out.
Puss locked foolish, and he laugh
ed when he saw the hole in the bot
tom.
Fooled you that time. didn't they?
he said with a laugh.

He was holding up something in

what it was.
You never could guess, am sure

dry bun.
Robbie TUNED away in disgust
but Carl called him back. wait
you haven't seen What is in it, he
said.
Sure enough Robbie had not seen
that the bun was actively alive, and
that was the funny part of lit. How
Robbie's eyes bulged out as. Carl
held the bun out and showed him a
spa rrow inside franticaNy trying to
get out.
The sparrow had eaten into the
bun until it was entirely inside and
then was so much bigger from hav-
ing eaten SO much that lit couldn't
back out of the hole which it had
made.
How the boys laughed, Carl broke
the bun open and released the
bird which flew away and found it's

The Tidy-up Fairies

The Tidy-up Fairies are never far
From places where children with
p1aythings are;
They notice which little girls and
boys
Really care for their pretty toys;
They like to see puzzles and paints
and blocks
Put away neatly. each in it's box.
But when dear dolDies are left half
dressed,
The Tdy-up fairies are much dis
tressed;
Or when picture books forgotten lie
Out in the rain, they wonder why,
When children are through with fur
and play
They do not put their toys away.
