sary but only found Mrs, Pecinovsky
and her daughters and two sons at
home. The people were much sur

a groom would not stay at home on his
wedding day. Indeed, they were not
going to celebrate the silver wedding
without the groom so they sent }. +.
Soukup and James Svoboda with the

who were staying on farm five miles

not take them much more than half
an hour and they reached home where

past means of livelihood, marries
Prince Nicholas Demidoff. Believing
that princess should conduct herself
in cold, dignified manner, she forgets
her naturalness with the result that
the Prince soon tires of her. In his

plains that she is twin sister known
as Flora Bella, and the Prince believ-

has acquired large interest in and has

rotary. Mr.. Riley and Mr.. Edgecomb
are original members of the Trap
Shooters Refining company which has
been in operation for about 18 months.
The refinery is located in Butler coun-
ty, Kansas, and is surrounded on all
sides by oil fields that give promise of
becoming the most prolific in the coun-
try. The new company will control
the output of the cream of crude oil in
Butler county.
The step taken by the Hawkeye Co.
was necessary if it was to continue
manufacturing the products upon
which it's reputation has been built.
The petroleum situation has become so
serious that many jobbers have expert
enced difficulty is securing a sufficient
supply of crude oil to protect their
trade. This situation confronted the
Hawkeye company, but rather than
use cheaper grade of crude oil and
diminish the qualify of products, Mr..
Caward made plans that resulted in the
contamination of the above transac-
ton.
The company now owns its own re-
fnery and equipment. This will in
clude pipe lines, tank cars and other
necessary paraphernalia. An unlimit-
ed quantity of crude oil is assured and
the quality of products can be improv-
ed upon instead of diminished.

had been incorporated for $500, 600,
fully paid up, and expects to be pro-
