class Of 1915 a powerful sermon on
last Sunday evening when at the
Evangelical church a union service
was conducted as part of the COM

tured to the graduates a lesson for
life's study and guidance and made
plea that their lives should be SC

human body and human mind might
work for the best interests of all
mankind. He very graphically pic
tured the entrance of the youth into
the higher works of life and made
his subject most practical one not
only for the members of the gradua-
ting class but for all his auditors.
The church was beautifully dec
GRATED for the occasion and there was
not an available seat left in the large
building when the audience had been
seated. Rev. Schneider, pastor OF
the Evangelical church led the scrip
ture reading and Rev. Stephenson,
pastor of the Baptist church. the in
vocation. At the close Rev. Roberts

choir, one of the largest in the city
and composed of active choir work
ersc, had charge OF the musical pro-
gram and delivered several most ap-
propriate selections.

Brief Notes For
Busy Readers

Henry Passig states that his beats
haze been very slow in coming MP
owing to cold weather. but those that
have been well irrigated are Begin
ming to show up thrifty.
| C. s. Crooker OF the Box Springs
district feels good over the crop pros
poets for this season. He states that
conditions appear to be about right
for most every sort of crop in this
vicinity.
w. H. Bell of the Peak View local
ity is not an amateur at farming with
out irrigation. He lived in western
Texas for number of years and says
that land there is now profitable at
so to so dollars per acre even tho
there was a time when the farmers
had to be cared for in order to make
it possible for them to stay. He con-
siders the dry sections OF Eastern
Colorado far better than western
Texas and contends that those tax
ing up land in this part Of the state
will have something worth while In
the near future.
Newton Bollacker has tried his
hand at milking cows and finds It SO
profitable that he intends to add more
cows to his dairy herd. MIR. Bollack-
er is like some others who have ex-
pressed themselves as having liking
for those cream checks every week.
"Too busy to shave" said J. R..
Thomas Monday. He has been work
ing almost night and day during the
water run to get his big alfalfa field
/ irrigated.

Promptly Call the Dogs.

We see where the persons in
charge of the defunct Kentucky
Rural Credits Association, at
Lexington, will dispose of the
mortgages in the hands of the
concern which amount to Sill 900.
The Receiver will also sue the
stockholders for deferred pay.
ments of stock. This means that
all stockholders who refused to
pay up when they did not get
loans, will now have to pay up
or be sued.
We hope this will serve as a
lesson to the many farmers who
bit at this easy looking game.
OF course, the ones that got the
long time loans are not hit so
hard, as those loans at but SO.
But it was only intended to let
out loans just where it was
thought that loans would in
duce the sale of more stock.
Moral when a stranger calls
at your gate offering such fair (?)
propositions, call the dog.
