Seward County
Sunday School News

The Liberal Township Convention
held at the Wide Awake school house
last Sunday was well attended.
There were about seventy-iiye pres
ent, representing seven Sunday
schools. One feature of the conyen-
ton which was especially enjoyed by
all was the music rendered by the
Ladies' Quartette from Liberal. All
but one of the officers of the Seward
Comfy Sunday School Association
were present.
The attendance of the Wide Awake
Sunday School has been especially
good the last few Sundays, and great
interest is being shown in the work.
The Wide Awake Ladies Aid will
give halloween party at the home
of Mrs. Il. G. Walden Friday evening
from eight to ten O'Clock. Supper
will be served at fifteen cents per
plate. All are cordially invited.

KEEPING COOL.

The weather-wise recommend keep
ing cool heads and temper during the
heated term. To fret, fume and fuss
under such a temperature may be in
harmony with nature sizzling under
a torrid sky. Regenerate human ma
ture would counsel adjustment of ap-
parel and demeanor to conditions
which no mortal can eliminate. Yet
within the circling year human fore
thought and invention have happily
relieved the stress of summer heat
and vigor even Of arctic cold. A rigid
puritan, however, was known never
to use an umbrella as neutralizing
the order Of Providence, and so I'M
protected would get drenched for con-
science sake. A noted rural divine
Of the olden time to whose home GER
tain theologs came stately for tut
ton, was said to have called them
back to his door and kept them stand
ing there unprotected from a sudden
shower till no let them go with this
injunction, when it rains on you, let
it rain" Possibly modern critics and
scribes would take the name Of Jupi-
ter Pluvius more reverently on their
tongues and typewriters If they real
lied he was the supreme deity in old
Roman mythology, and judged to be
the originator Of all atmospheric
changes. His favorite weapon was
said to be the thunderbolt. So let
profane swearers beware Of hurting
by Jove" at ill-timed change Of
weather.

MISUNDERSTANDING solutions have
been the subject of recent extensive
Investigations in Germany with refer
ence to their effects on aquatic ami
mails and birds. It is found that pc
troleum has no poisonous effect on
the lower animals living in the water,
while the soluble components Of sap
rol, carbohc-free saprol, larviol A, and
larviol B kill all creatures living in
the water down to a certain depth
(many times greater in the case Of
saprol than in that of larvioD. The
most destructive of these substances,
however, have no more lasting effect
on the lower forms of aquatic life
than the natural drying up of stagnant
ponds. On the other hand, it is said
that water covered with a layer Of
any Of the substances above named
does no harm to native birds, game
or domestic animals that may happen
to drink it.

What a Financier Is.

A flnancier is a man who can make
500 grow for himself where one grew
for somebody else before. If the finan-
cier had 81 and needed two dollars, he
would use the dollar as first payment
on a $40 bill and he would then bond
the so for a $40 gold piece and would
charge $500 for doing this. When he
would sell an option on the $50 gold
piece at $17 for 81 to As people, and
would then dispose of half interest
in the entire transaction for $780, 81

THE KANSAS PIONEERS
DIR. j. r. WILLARD

Hospitality and a spirit of mutual helpfulness
we're prominent characteristics of the pioneers.
No cabin was ever so small that others could not
get in to stay all night, stock of supplies so
scant that it could not be divided. Changing
work to help each other, lending implements and
machinery was necessary in order that the indi-
vduals of the community might live

believe 1 am justified in claiming that the
pioneers as knew them considerably above
the average of humanity, intellectually as well as
morally. They appreciative of educa-
ton. This spirit was manifested in Manhattan
to which the people came with a predetermined
purpose to found college in connection with
their colony. They had scarcely been there three
years before the corner stone of Bluemont Central
college was laid with jOyOusness and hope. This
college was later transformed into the agricultural
college which keeps Manhattan on the map of the
world This interest of educational institutions is
a special example in the general public spirit of
the early settlers Town halls were erected, sites
donated for churches and industrial enterprises,
and bonds voted for railroads, bridges, and other
public improvements. Altogether the men and
women who made this region were building for
the community of which they were part and
where they expected their children to remain.

How Catarrh is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, disease
that is seldom cured and that may
prove a life's burden. Many per-
sons who have this loathsome disease
will remember having had frequent
colds at the time it was contracted.
A little forethought, a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy judic-
iously used, and all this trouble
might have been avoided. Obtain
able everywhere.

Suffrage Conference

The contributions made for the suf-
frage campaign in Louisiana vary all
the way from two hundred dollar
checks to breast-pins and pigs. Many
women in the desire to give something
to help gain the vote for Louisiana wo-
men have made substantial donations
of money, others whose purses are
light but with strong convictions for
equality, have searched among thei"
adornments and treasures for bits OF
discarded jewelry that can be melted
in value. The women on the farms
have promised in number of in
stances, to set aside wee pig and
raise it for the suffrage cause. These
suffrage pigs will sell for goodly
sum on reaching maturity and suf-
frage sausage or votes-forwomen ba-
con will be accorded coveted places on
fortunate breakfast tables. But
whether dollars, pigs, sausage or
brooches the suffragists agree that
their method will be as effective as
bullets in obtaining the vote.
Gen, French Compliments
Women in Report
General French, field marshal of the
English forces, in his latest report,
mentions the names of fifty-eight wo-
men whose distinguished military SER
vices in the field and gallantry enti-
ties them to honorable consideration.
General French has heretofore been
opposed to political power for wo-
men, although his sister, Mrs. Des-
pard, is one of the leaders of the Eng
lish votes-for-women movement.
Recently, General French paid Il
visit to his aged sister especially to tell
her that he had become convinced that
