TODDLEROUND MARCHES OUT

They've taken little Todderound and dressed him up IN brown
And it only yesterday that he playing here;
A crumpled bonnet on him, and little ragged gown
And running for his Mummykins to kiss away a tear
They drilled him and they filled him with lot of and vim
And they've got him in his regiment and marched OIL to war;
his mothers aching and she's calling out to him.
Her Todderound that yesterday playing on the floor
Oh hadn't hardly noticed how lad gaining weight
That he'd got safety razor and beard upon his chin
But he'd done lot of strung and of thinking here OF late
And the bugle called to battle and boy listed in
They drilled him and they trained him and they marched him with
the lot,
And baby packing up his little kit to go
brave with his talking but the sands burning hot
And thirst is like torture the plains of Mexico
with his talking but his mother here and
We dreaming of the little things baby used to
We can him laughing singing just happy be-
Down the border of the garden where baby used to play
he's grown up soldier and he's talking big and bold
gone and Joined his regiment and marching off to
his mothers aching for the babe they used to hold
And her heart burning bursting for his prate the floor

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE

Wesley Jones, farmer living near
Balko, Oklahoma, attempted suicide
Tuesday. He stabbed himself in the
throat with pocket knife, complete
ly severing his windpipe, and think
ing it wasn't a sure job he cut the
arteries Of his right wrist, hoping to
bleed to death If the other method
failed. He was brought to the Lib
eral Hospital at once, where his
breathiug apparatus was patched to-
gether and at the time this Is writ
ten he is resting easy. Mr.. Jones's
mind went slightly to the bad few
years ago while serving on a jury in
Beaver, and one or two other difficult
ties since that time aggravated the
case, so it is presumed this attempt
at his own life was the result. He
is expected to recover.

AS TO REGISTRATION

There appears TO De some con-
fusion regarding the matter Of regis
tration. Since there has been no
general election held in the city or
county since the books have been
open for registration there is no rea-
son for those who registered last year
to make appearance before the city
clerk for registration that they may
vote in the coming primary or at the
next general election, provided that
no one has moved from his or her
place Of residence since having reg
istered. For instance II the elector
moved his place of residence from
Ward No. 1 to Ward No. 2 since hav-
ing registered last year, he or she
must register again at this time, or
lose the right to vote at the primary.
All those having lost their residence
and residing in the city must reg
lister ten days before the election or
they. cannot vote. Ten days before
the election the city clerk will close
the registration books and no fur
ther opportunity will be given for
registration at that election. There
fore IL you have not registered ON or
before the 22nd day Of July, you will
have no vote at the primary. Any
one who has been in the state six
months and thirty days in the pre-
cinct may vote, II registered in time,
in cities of the second class. This
reader Is Of no interest to those In
the city whose names now appear up
on the registration books, but there
are many who have not caused their
names to be of record. Every elector
must appear in person at the city
clerks Office. You may appear dur
ing the regular hours of the day, at
noon, and after the evening meal un-
til ten o'clock at night for the next
twenty days at the Office Of the city
clerk to have your name on the reg
istration books and there is no rea-
son why every elector, who desires 9
vote, should not be registered.

several trains conveying the soldiers
which were bound to the border the
last several days. Each train made
a stop and the soldiers accepted the
opportunity to get Off the train and
stretch their legs some by running
about town. Soldiers from Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire pre-
dominated. There were no Kansans
in the series of trains through here.
The boys from Massachusetts, ap-
peared to be proud Of the fact that
they were the first to invade the
southwest and from the amount of
the enthusiasm that they carried
with them, the Mexicans will have a
pretty hot time If the boys from old
staid Massachusetts, are turned loose
and given the word to do something.

LIBERAL BOOSTERS TO DODGE
CITY

Liberal had a large representation
in Dodge City for the Fourth and
the white hats with Liberal Boost
ers" bands were much in evidence.
More than dozen cars in all made
the trip and good many went down
on the train. The trip serves to
show the value Of organization.
Probably several other towns had as
large a delegation as Liberal, but
the white hats made the Liberal
bunch stand out from the rest and
everybody who attended the races
know that Liberal is surely on the
map"

BURLESON SUSPENDS CHECK
ORDER TO POSTMASTERS

A few days ago at Washington,
Postmaster General Burleson suspend
ed until further notice his recent or
der authorizing postmasters to collect
checks on banks in small communities
where there are no members of the
federal reserve system. The suspen-
sion was ordered at the suggestion of
the Federal Reserve Board.
Members said the recommendation
was made because more time is nec-
essary to perfect details of the check
collection plan, and declared the pro-
test against the order made by Rep
resentative Kitchin in the House was
not responsible for the change.
It was said that when the plan first
was considered, the board did not ex-
pect the order to become effective for
at least two months, and that collec-
tion work by postmasters would be
undertaken gradually.
The board does not consider tha.
state banks would be seriously affect
ed by the agreement, and believes it
would save millions Of dollars annual
ly to merchants throughout the coun-
try who now are compelled to pay ex-
change of checks drawn on such bank

NORTH DAKOTA BANK FIGURES

Grand Forks, Aug. 10.-The report
OF the State Banking Department for
the months of May and June discloses
the fact that the early summer has
been period of satisfactory growth
in the banking business of the state.
The figures are being used by the
Press Bureau of the North Dakota
Development League at Grand Forks
as the basis of several articles which
are being sent out for the purpose of
advertising the state of North Dakota,
it's resources and its possibilities.
In the two months the 652 state
banks were increased by the addition
of four new state banks, making a to-
tai of 65S. These, with the four trust
companies in the state, reported in
creases of more than $5,OOO,OO0 in de-
posits, and nearly an equal increase
in loans. These state institutions
have deposits of close to SIS, 100000
of which $6O,00O,0OO is represented in
loans.
The state banks of North Dakota
are very generally local institutions,
North Dakota men being principal
owners in nearly all cases. It is also
noted that the ownership of these in
stitutions, as we'll as of the national
banks of the state, is vested largely
in farmers. There are few banks in
the state which have not among thei.:
stockholders and on their boards of
directors representative farmers of the
neighborhood, and farmers have, dur
ing recent years, been among the
largest depositors in all the banks in
the state. There has never been a
time when the banking business of the
state was in a more satisfactory con-
dition,

some houses were blown down. We

siderable. North of here in the vicin-
ity of Garske there was a severe hail

entire crop. The hail covered a strip
about three miles wide and several
miles long, extending east and west.
