The following is funeral sermon
from the Wamego. Kan, Times:
IA town that never has anything
to do in a public way is on the road
to the cemetery. Amy citizen who
will do nothing for his town is help
ing to dig the grave. A man that
curses his town furnishes the coffin.
A man who has no time from his
business to give to civic affairs is
making the shroud. A man who will
not advertise is driving the hearse.
The man who is always pulling back
a public enterprise throws flowers
on the mound. The man who is so
stingy as to be bowling hard times,
breaches the funeral sermon, sings
the doxology, and thus the town lies
buried from all SORROWS and care.

BIG BUILDING BOOM PROMISED.

Thanks to the efforts of Sen ator Karns, Nogales will now have a big revival in home build ing, due to the fact that Senate Bills number 37 and 38 have be- come law without the signature of Governor Hunt.
 These bills provide that the law taxing stock in Building x Loan Associations shall be abol- ished and that the past taxes shall be refunded to the com panieS.
 This means that the NogaleS Building & Loan Associa tion will be able to do business once more, and Mr. Renshaw, the secretary for that organization, says that at least ten applications for loans are now awaiting the ap- proval of the board, and that many homes will be commenced in the next few week, through the local organization.
 It is fact that this organiza- tiou has had very important place in the up-building of the town, and the people of Nogales will welcome it's return to active business. Herald.

J. R. Neck, manager of the big blue ribbon herd, says the calf is one of the finest he ever saw. Another good adv. for Nogales and the Mo- gales Jersey Farm.
