IN GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr.. and Mrs. J. +. Fcngel Went to
Harrington in Early Seventies.

The golden wedding anniversary of
two of the best known old settlers In
the eastern part of the state was cele-
brated recently. Mr.. and Mrs J. p.
Fenge1 of Harrington, celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary OF their mar
ried life They came to Harrington in
the early seventies before the great
herds of buffalo became a myth and
the fear of the Indians still fingered.
Mr.. Fengel was born in Duden-
hofen, near Frankfort-on-the-M Main in
Germany. At the age Of six he came
to America with his parents and set
tied near Burlington, Iowa, where he
grew to manhood. It was near there,
at Niota, Illinois that he was married
to the charming little English wom-
an, Frildo wilkins, and his life long
romance began. For about nine
years they lived ac Danville, Iowa.
Then the kansas fever took hold
of the young couple and they re-
solved to try their fortunes in pio-
neer country. They came to this state
in characteristic fashion: with their
three children, Clara, John and Dora
and their furniture packed into a
prairie schooner. They located
first, southwest of Woodbine and
northwest of Heriugton, where for
twenty-six years they endured the
droughts and other hardships of early
Kansas existence. During this period
another daughter, Fanny F. was born
to them.
The couple are true representatives
of the spirit that has made a great
agricultural state from the prairies,
of the earlier spirit against the intro
duction of slavery and that later
fought for the moral and educational
measures that have made our state
one of the greatest commemorative in
the country. They endured the days
of the great crop failure ard the
grasshopper with unquenchable opti-
mism and courage; they have never
refused to give aid though many times
they knew that it would never be
repaid They have taken a prominent
part in the life of the community
where they lived.
Mrs Fenge1 has no doubt attended
the bedside of more people in distress
and sickness than any other woman in
her county. She was always ready to
5 do her part with sweetness and love
of service. she has truly lived val
liable and worth while life
A part of the celebration was poem
/ by granddaughter, Miss Marie
I Shields in which she says:
I'VE have come here as friends and
And your children who are dear;
I And to offer our good wishes to the
bride
To the bride of many a year.
And we will nope that you will ride
at anchor,
For many a happy year.
Till the Savior calls you higher
Where there is nothing more tc

TAKING THE HOME PAPER

Do you know Of q person in this
whole community who would be
willing to go through life month by
month and year by year without a
knowledge of the news features of
the town in which he resides 4?
Would you like to be that person?
1t is difficult to convince the aver
age reader of the real value of his
home paper unless he has at some
time or other been forced to do
without it. Then it is that it's value
is brought home to them. Most
people subscribe for the home pa
per, read it, enjoy it, and absorb
the news it contains as matter
of course, giving scarcely thought
to the vast amount of labor entail
ed in the production of the issue.
And yet that issue means ire
mendous concentration of thought
and energy and perseverance on the
part of both the editor and his en-
tire force of employees. The work
thus represented on an issue OF
this paper, for instance, costs the
reader the trihing sum of 2 cents.
Would you like to fill the editors
shoes for a week, or a month, or
permanently? Would you consider
THAI the labor thus involved had
met with just compensation?

MAKING TIMES PROSPEROUS

Prosperity to a considerable de-
gree rests upon the whims of the
business interests of the country.
We are a self supporting people
and are not dependent upon the
whims or exertions Of others.
But if we become pessimistic,
and constantly predict disaster
and force ourselves to the belief
that it is to come, then we are
likely to get no more than that
which we predict.
A few people through the con-
slant use of their tongues can in
time instill into the minds of others
the same atmosphere of gloom that
pervades them, and this is spread
to others, and yet others, until
communities and states and whole
nations suffer from the effect.
But prosperity can be made, IL
we want it. 1t will come, if we seek
it. 1t will remain, if we nurse it.
We should talk prosperity, feel
prosperity, and act prosperity if
we would have prosperity, for in no
other way will we meet up with
the favors of the gods.
1t is up to you, to every citizen,
to work for prosperity in this COM
munity, for it is an almost univer-
sal rule of man that we receive in
proportion as we do.

tically 100 per cent. in price since
the market began to rise and the
end is not yet in sight. During the
past week all of the book mills in
the Middle West have advanced
their price $40 per ton and three
mills have entirely withdrawn their
tonnage from the market"
1t should be readily seen from
the above, and from other articles
that have been printed from time to
time as the advance was going on,
that the price on printing and adj
vertising will have to be increased.
The business man will at once see
the necessity for this increase,
which is forced on the printer
without which he will be forced out
of business.

A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY

~ OUNDttlUN, MI n InEUhr
Readers of newspapers have read
too little understanding if they have
not by this time grown to a know
ledge of the serious condition that
confronts the printer and every one
who uses large quantities of paper
of any kind. We have several times
mentioned in this paper the enor-
nous increase in price of every
thing that goes into the make up
of printed matter from newspaper
to a letter head.
Not ony has the cost of paper,
ink and all material used by print
ers reached sensational figures, and
still advancing, but there is APP
preaching the question whether they
can be obtained, in sufficient guam
titles to satisfy the demand, at any
price.
In the current issue of "The Man.
ufacturer" we find the following
statement:
Conditions in the newsprint mar
ket are almost startling. In letters
just issued to the members of the
Newsprint Manufacturers Associa-
ton, Secretary G. F. Steele states
that the demand for newsprint has
not decreased to any noticeable ex-
tent, despite the efforts of the pub
fishers to curtail consumption. Mr.
Steele declares that there now is
on hand at mills and consuming
points an inventory amounting to
less than fifteen days supply of
newsprint for the entire continent.
He states that he does not know of
a single mill on the North Ameri
can continent which has ton of
paper to sell, or any extra capacity"
From Chicago comes this of the
same date:
'Instead of the relief in the paper
situation which many familiar with
conditions have been predicting, ev-
cry indication points to growing
seriousness in the market. Book
paper mills have withdrawn all
quotations, notifying dealers thes
will fill orders only at prices pre-
vailing on shipping date. Newsprint
manufacturers declare that raw ma
terial is constantly becoming more
scarce with evrey prospect for still
another advance in the price at an
early date"
People who are becoming accus-
toned and resigned to the tremen-
dous increase in the cost of living
in the past two years and are pay
ing nearly, or quite, double for
many articles-sugar for example
must realize that the same law
which compels the retail merchant
to increase his prices, as he is
charged for articles, must operat.
on the news and job printers as
well. 1t is impossible for them to
furnish printed matter at the same
prices that prevailed three years
ago, with every material that goes
into this work advanced from 30 to
100 per cent. lin the case of some
inks and materials from 1000 to
5000 per cent? and charges, com
mensurate with at least part Of
the added expense, will have to be
borne by the customer if the print
err expects to keep going.

Boston's Fine Example.

Last Christmas in Boston the mayor
requested everyone in the city to leave
their window shades up on Christmas
eve to help light the city. Such a
cheerful glow as it gave to old Bea-
con street and Commonwealth avenue !!
Down in the Public gardens the city
was enjoying its municipal Christmas
tree, stately fir, bedecked with myri-
ad colored electric bulbs, while the
band played old familiar carols that
veered into popular street songs be-
fore the crowd scattered. The scene
was significant of Christmas now be-
ing a cosmopolitan festival holding
the heart of Puritan New England,
whose holy of holies has heretofore
been Thanksgiving. This is right, and
as it should be, since ours is land
of religious liberty and Christmas is
the season of peace and good will
to all mankind"

Russians Preparing
 For Further Attacks

London, July 3-As the result of one week of most costly onslaughts on the Russian lines between Stockhod and the Styr rivers, the Austro-German forces have advanced their battle front at the most five miles eastward toward the Styr and that only in some sectors, says Reuter- despatch from Petro- grad. Military authorities, the cor respondent adds, are confident that the Russians are firmly holding the enemy on this front, pending the develop ment of General Letchitsky's sweep through Bukowina, notwithstanding tha tthe strong German reinforce ments are entering the field. re.. 3
 Meanwhile, the Russians have pro- gressed fifteen miles southMestward of Kolomea and the Austrians there are hard pressed to- cover their retreat to the Carpathian mountains.
