Atwood Commercial Club Goes
After New Enterprises.
Town Replacing Old Land
marks With New Buildings.

Atwood, Kan, Oct. 9.-Atwood's re-
organized commercial club ought to
be a winner Frank E. Munger is
president and Fred Howard secretary
treasurer. Both are young and pro-
gressive, and are also successful bust
ness men One of the first enterprises
the club has gone after is to put At
wood on the great plains highway con-
Meeting Galveston and Winnipeg. The
club is cooperating with Colby, Oak
ley and Garden City in the matter of
securing this highway. The club has
a membership of about zoo.
Pleasant rooms have been fur
nished. where the members can go
and take visitors for a social game of
billiards or an evenings visit. If the
present prospects for crops continue
the club has several enterprises in
view of great benefit to Atwood.
Among other improvements to be
made in Atwood will be the erection
of a Masonic hall block at a cost of
about $4,000. The building will be
two-story brick, 26 by 100 feet.
Fine New School.
The new $4,000 brick school build
ing will be ready for occupancy on or
before the first of 1918. Atwood is
entitled to the credit of being one Of
the best school towns in northwest
Kansas. The board does not make
mistakes in the selection of educators
have long been classed with the sue
cessful ones in the state.
Atwood people will never miss the
tearing down and moving away of her
pioneer livery barn. NJ. A. Wilson,
also pioneer lawyer and owner of the
property, deserves the thanks of the
people for getting rid of the old barn.
The vicinity looks 100 per cent bet
ter. Mr.. Wilson has cleaned up the
rubbish, empty bottles and plowed the
lots, and next year will erect an ad-
ditiOn to the hotel property.
The SCOTS have sold the Citizen
Patriot to F. A. Webster. 1t is the
oldest paper in Rawlins county, and

Another old pioneer landmark is
soon to be torn out and a new building
plant Frank Greason. the owner of

Mr.. O'Day then related that when

meaning of the letter and that at first
Piersol stated the letter had no ref
erence to the Keet case but that rath-
he was a spy in the pay of Ger
many.
The testimony will show" Mr.
O'Day continued, that Mr.. Allender
had called the attention of Piersol
to the fact that this was an unreason-
able story, that the German govern
ment had at its command millions OF
men and millions of dollars; that their
universities were filled with men of
the highest intelligence and that
should the German government de-
sire to secure any information IN
America or in Greene county, Mis-

been an agent of the German govern

possession a code book and that the

was a pure invention.

called for Chief Allender to. make "a

clared the letter had to do with his
effort to evade the draft. The story
was easily refuted, however. the pro-
secutor declared. because of the fact
that Piersol was under the draft age.
"Piersol wrote all the letters re-
