city Federation Meeting

hO NAty AACS 0NSo--S
afternoon in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms. This being the first
regular meeting of the year, an
unusual amount of routine bust
ness was transacted,
All members of the federation
feel that club day at the county fair
was a decided success. Mrs. Knerr,
county representative, reported
sending out six hundred invitations
to which every club in the county
responded, except one which is sit
uated in a remote district. AS many
as two thirds Of the membership
of some of the clubs registered
over two hundred county club wo-
men registered at the federation
booth and tea was served to nearly
four hundred in all.
Cities outside the county repre-
scented in the registration were To-
peka, Salina, Council Grove and
Hays. States other than Kansas rep
resented were Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, California and Pennsyl-
vania.
The federation voted to give $35
more to the scholarship fund. Abb
lene clubs and individual club mem
bers have previously given SOS this
year and now this brings the total
amount up to 500, thereby giving
the club women here the privilege
OF naming an Abilene girl to re-
ceive the benefit of this fund.

purpose, of which Mrs. Frank North

SAYLOR EXPLAINS PLANS
NEW SCHOOL TO ALUMNI

w. II. Saylor, who has drawn
plans for the new building, made a
very interesting talk. He explained
| the plans OF the building and stat
ed that it would cost less per Gu
bic foot of space than any high
school in this vicinity Mr.. Saylor
explained that the greatest value
possible will be obtained for the
money spent and that the ninety
thousand was expected to cover all
costs Of building. The actual cost
of the new building per cubic foot
is thirteen cents. High schools in
Kansas City have been built at a
cost of 26 cents per cubic foot. Mr..
Saylor also explained the ventila-
ton system Of the building and
set at rest the fears of few per-
sons on that score. Air will be con-
Quoted through ventilator from
the roof of the building and will
be kept constantly circulating by
means of a fan.
1t might be worthy to note that
three preachers were present at the
meeting with speeches favoring the
building already prepared. 1t was
decided however, to put them off
until next Sunday morning when 1t
is expected that they will be de-
livered

Buy Arkansas Goods

A farmers wife told the writer recently that she had 4,000 cans of 1915 peaches that she had not been able to sell. Doubtless within radius of 50 miles of her home 100,0 cans of Michigan and New York peaches have been sold to the ladies of the towns and cities. Why not ask the grocer for Arkansas peaches and Arkansas tomatoes and all other kinds of canned goods and thus made a good market for Arkansas feed stuffs? Now is good time for some practical patriotism. Try it. Let everybody ask next week for Arkansas peaches and let everybody buy literally, especially of the small farmer who peddles his own peaches. Then don't beat down the price. Last year most farmers lost money on their peaches and so this year let every town and city housekeeper buy liberally and

A Stitch in Time Saves
 25O, 900

Entomologists estimate that one pair of boil weevils emerging early in the year may have be- fore frost in the fall 25O, 1000 living descendants. Therefore. if the first few weevils to emerge are allowed to live they will soon produce enough young weevils to destroy the squares as they can be put on. Why not avoid this by watching for the first weevils. picking up the first squares that fall, : destroy them and in this way prevent the rapid multiplication of the wee vils. Watch all the time for the characteristic flare of the square. Get them now, pick them up quickly and destroy them. Every weevil caught now will mean at least 100, fewer this fall and a better chance to make some August cotton. Get him first or he's certain to get you. The Ex- tension Division of the Universi- ty and the Agricultural Depart ment recommends: picking and burning squares and practicing consistent, shallow, late cultiva- tion.

REV. ISLEY ASKS CHURCH
TO OBSERVE HOLY WEEK

Rev. G. Raymon 1sley has issued A
letter to the Congregation of the Sec
ond English Evangelical Lutheran
church concerning the Holy week and
Easter season and the proper way to
observe it. The letter follows:
The Holy Week and Easter season,
commemorative the deep passion of
our Lord for the sake of sinful world
and His glorious resurrection from the
dead, is again drawing night.
This precious season calls us to
prayer and meditation, repentance and
conservation. The cares of this life
its joys, sorrows. temptations and re-
sponsibilities often lure us away from
close fellowship with our Lord. In
difference, one of our greatest sins,
often steals upon US unawares and
we become neglectful of many relig-
ious duties. and perform others in a
half-hearted way, which must bring
grief to the heart of the Saviour
THAT this sacred season may be a
time Of refreshing, let me, as your
pastor, urge such an observance as

The movement to build more parks

Several members of the Wayne coun-

the movement
NO citizen is so vitality interested
in the park movement as the sports

THE opportunity is before you to show
your interest and patriotism in your
state by making a subscription in
such sum, no matter how small, as
you may feel able. You are requested
to interest the children, as it seems
to the committee that the rising gen

join in the subscriptions, thus instill-
