BACHELOR SUPPER
 FOR HARRY" BROWN
Hundred Friends Gather at Elks' Club and Wish Him Best of
 Fortunes Smiles. ...

Somewhere in one of Shakespeare's plays. probably in Much Ado About Nothing" one of the characters speaks a line somewhat as follows:- When said would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married" This was the pre- dominating sentiment at the fare- we'll bachelor dinner given last night to Harry c. Brown, past exalted ruler of the local lodge of Elks. The af- fair, held in the banquet hall of the Elks' club, was attended by one hum dred friends of MT. Brown, repre- senting the two branches of the male tribe.-married men and bachelors.
 Tributes of affection started son their way at o'clock when Toast master Ernie" Humphrey introduced the candidate for matrimonial honors to the assembled guests. From then until the mystic hour of eleven, when all Elks toast their absent brothers, and until later in the night there were songs and stories; and stories and songs.
 Judge B. F. Gaffney delivered a masterly oration in praise of about-to- be absent brother" Taking the role of a crystal-gazer, Judge Gaffney re- viewed the past history of Harry Brown. recalled some of his present day triumphs. and then peered into the future. Success" he said. lis the handmaiden of loyalty and fidel- ity. Loyal and faithful in all duties of life. 1t must follow that the man who so lives must attain the high est form of happiness"
 Then came the advice to the love- lorn. MT. Humphrey expatiated at great length on the first steps in we'd lock. Former Mayor Hallorah aug mented the symposium and said a married man who deserts the family hearth night after night wins n Peace Without Victory" It was contended by Otis O. Butler that a married man with bachelor ideas is about the highest form of human life. Thus wended the discussion upon it's lengthy way, until Postmaster De- laney ended the argument. :.
 One of the treats of the evening was furnished by John Foley, who sang a sentimental ballad, "The Gan der and the Goose" Fred Beloin contributed his part of the entertain ment with his own original version of Sweet Adeline." Jimmy Byett. one of the fastest sprinters in the local lodge of Elks. was called upon and sang, "oGod-bye Bachelor Days" Those who have seen him run and have heard him sing are at a loss to know in which art he excels "The Face on the Barroom Floor" reel tation by James Naughton. brought tears to many eyes, as did You're as Welcome as the Flowers in May" sung by M. T. White.
 The customary II o'clock toast was recited by Past Exalted Ruler Billy" Beers, who also brought the greet ings of Bristol Lodge to the guest of the evening. Exalted Ruler Wells Foster recited Your Flag and My Flag followed by singing of the .'star spangled Banner" by the entire assemblage. Others who took part in the entertainment were James FYnnegan, William G.. Muller, Timothy w. O'Brien. John Buckley. George Denby. stephen Mordecai and Jack Hollywood.

Test Cotton Seed Before Planting.
 Just any kind of cotton seed will nor do 1n the springs of 1914-15 the Arkansas Experiment Station tested cotton seed from more than 70 sources each season. These seeds were taken from lots of seed that were intended 10 be used for planting Careful ger imitation tests showed a variation of from 19 per cent to 9S per cent germi- nation. Cotton seed seldom shows higher than from 75 to S5 per cent examination, but if planted 1t should not show less than 70 per cent. No man wants to plant Feed that will not come up. The only way to ind out In advance Is to test. A simple tester consisting of two plates and an old towel. or other ab- sorbent cloth, is sufficient for any farmer 70 test his cotton seed. Test your cotton seed Consult your coun- ty agent or write to the Extension Di- vision, College of Agriculture, Fay etteville, for instructions for testing.

foot. FOOT. BUT NOT YET

There seems to be considerable ac-
tivity at Garden City and other points
on the proposed railroad extension.
An election has been called at Lib
eral and Seward county, to vote
100000 in bonds March 6, for this
road. There is no doubt that this
road will be built this spring and be
a valuable line, boosting all the towns
and counties thru which 1t passes, but
as the promoters have made no defin-
lite proposition to anyone, 1t seems
the permanent survey and location is
yet to be made. The direct route
from here to Garden City it seems to
us to be the best and cheapest to
build. 1t is IS miles to Garden City,
where actual construction would be-
gin, and to come by the way of Lib
eral would mean the, building of 25
miles of extra construction. The cost
of building would be more than $12,-
600 per mile, therefore the money
raised by bonds for this extra road,
would lack about $4,000 in pay
ing for it. On top of that the business
gained by crossing the Rock Island
at Liberal would be no greater than
at Plains and it would not near pay
for the maintenance and operation
of these extra rs miles of track.
Garden City will help and be just
as much benefited by the more direct
route, Meade county, Plains and the
many big ranchers and farmers with
Forgan will be big factor in favor
of the direct route as they would not
be handicapped by having to pay for
any extra road in order to reach us.
--Forgan Eagle.
1t is for us to smile. Oh, what a
comedy. Hold your sides, dear read
er, or you may blow up. Forgan,
dear, delightful little Forgan, is now
worrying because she is afraid SHE
will have to- pay for the extra mileage
of the new railroad If it comes thru
Liberal. If Forgan has any interest
at all in this road she has never
voiced it thru the columns of their
paper. The above spasm is the first
railroad dope to secure a place in its
columns.
