CONFERENCE OVER
ONE OF MOST SUCCESSFUL CON-
ERENCES EVER HELD.
More Than so Per Gent Of Counties
Were Represented-Gave Funds
For Nova Scotia Sunday
School Office,

The efficiency conference of coun-
ty and state Sunday school officials,
which adjourned its two days session
at the Lutheran church last night, is
pronounced by its promoters to have
enjoyed gratifying success thruout.
At the closing session three home
ministers took leading parts. Mrs.
II. l.. Humphrey played and the
Methodist choir sang. The outstand-
ing speech was by Rev. Frank G..
Richard OF Holton, the conference
president, on the church's patriotism
in which connection Mr.. Marshall
Randel OF Usage county sang Keep
the Home Fires Burning"
More than so per cent of the coun-
ties were represented. Nine mem
bers attended the sessions OF the
state executive committee, which was
held In the state office in conjunc-
tion with the conference date. They
transacted routine mid-year business,
and in addition remitted substan-
tial sum for the rehabilitation of
the Nova Scotia Sunday school office,
which was laid waste in the recent
Halifax disaster and assumed respon-
sibility OF six hundred dollars tow
ard the current expenses of the Ma
tional Sunday School War Council.
The state office requests the priyi-
lege Of conveying thru the Reflector
its Acknowledgement to the families
OF the city whose homes were opened
for the comfort of the city's guests,
and especially to those who on ac-
count of the weather were deprived
of expected guests. The represen-
tative from Cherokee county had
bought his ticket but turned back
when a late train made connections
impossible The Clay county presi-
dent spent 25 hours getting half way
and gave it up for bad job.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
tion and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

ROAD IS A GO
PETITION TO GRAVEL MEETS
WITH FARMERS APPROVAL.
Eighty-flve Per Cent for IL In the
Abilene-Detroit District-Enter-
prise Road Next-Drainage
District, Too?

The petition for a gravel road from
Abilene to the east line of the coun-
ty on the Golden Belt is making fine
progress. The district from Abilene
to Detroit is reported to have the sig
natures of S5 per cent OF the property
owners. The district east has not yet
been canvassed and a public road
meeting will be held in Chapman to
further the matter.
A fine bed of gravel; equal to that
west of Abilene, has been found near
the road just west of Detroit and
the county has tried it out with
good results. AS soon as the petit
tions are passed on by the commits
sioners work will commence. 1t is
assured from Abilene to Detroit al
ready and there is little doubt that 1t
will go to the east end of the coun-
ty.
The farmers along the Enterprise
road are waking up and talking of
also graveling that much travelled
road 1t is well graded already and
could easily be made road good all
the year round instead of being as
now, impossible with cars or heavy
loaded wagons for weeks at a time.
1t Is realized that drainage is bad
ly needed to protect both the roads
east of the city and it is likely that
drainage district will be formed. 1t
would reclaim hundreds of acres now
often overfiowed and some that sell
dom raises a crop because of the
standing water.
With gravel roads and a drainage
district the bottoms east of the city
would be veritable garden and the
land would increase another $50 an
acre.

FRANK GARDNER PREFERS
+ TRENCHES TO PENITENTIARl
Circulating Petitions In Abilene 20
Get ParOled.

Frank Gardner. convicted Of steal
ing a Ford car in Manhattan, pre-
fers the front line trenches in France
to the penitentiary. He is in Abb
lene today with the deputy sheriff
Of Riley county circulating a petition
asking that he be granted a parole
He says he will go to the front line
trenches in France where the bull
lets are thickest and fight for Uncle
Sam.
Gardner is "a years old. II the
governor should grant him parole
he would still have to serve his time
when he returned, but If he were
granted a parodn, he will be free
WIN he returns from France. The
petition, which has been signed by
many OF the men of the city, asks
for a parole. Many think Gardner
will make a good soldier. There is
no danger of his trying to escape
from the army as that will place
him in the class OF a deserted and
the penitentiary sentence would be
much worse.

The Attendance Was 1000.

The convention was pronounced
by delegates the most successful in
the history of the organization.
There was a total attendance of A.
900 dealers.
Next years convention will be in
Kansas City. The date has not been
fixed.
Secretary Hodge pointed out the
large attendance evinced a desire on
the part of the dealers to aid as far
as possible in the prosecution of
the war. 1t is felt the hardware
business and the implement industry
as well, will play vital part in win
ming the conflict Tools Of all ma
ture will be needed in the manufac-
ture of war materials and the use of
modern implements will, of course,
make for an increased food produc-
tion.
