The big event of the season for the
benefit of the Red Cross fund is to
be base ball game between the mar
ried and single ladies'. This game is
to take place in the near future but
we cannot announce the date at pres
ent. It will be played, on the ball
diamond at the Trego County Fair
grounds.
The World force will hereafter be
able to give more time to preparing
an interesting paper. The big job of
getting out the premium list for the
coming Trego County Fair, without
hiring extra help has been completed
and the job delivered. Besides
change in the weather has brought
rain which makes even the printers
feel better.
A Wa-Keeney Commercial club and
Fair Boosting trip is on, the schedule
for August 18th. That will be the
date of the Tri-County Fair at Oak
ley and the idea of the trip is to ad-
vertise Wa-Keeney and the Trego
County Fair A special train has been
secured which may commence to pick
up passengers at Ellis. Arrange
ments have been made for twenty
minute stops in each of the towns
between here and Oakley. The Wa
Keeney base ball club and the Wa
Keeney band will accompany the
boosters and play at the fair. Tick
and an effort is being made to sell
100 of them. The trip can be better
made by train than by auto and the
expense will not be any greater.
Somebody had better plan on going.

was roundly applauded. She was fol-
lowed by Prof. Neisley who spoke
briefly but feelingly and touchingly
to the boys with whom he has SO
long been associated, his words were
words of wisdom and Inspiration and
there were not many dry eyes when he
had finished. The guests were as fol-
lows: Carol Kelly, Ed Moore, Leon
ard Acre, Jack Gordon, Joe Acre,
Albert Acre, Neil Ufford and Will
Savage of Abilene. The boys are
members of Company n, 1st Regi-
