The tood mothers of. Butler did
not have to get up early Sunday
morning and hustle around and see
that all OF the children got off in time
for Sunday school for the very good
reason that there was no Sunday
school Neither was there any church
services and it is very likely that is
was the first Sunday that Butler has
been without some sort oi public re-
ligious worship since it was organ
lied. The churches were all closed
in response to Mavor DeArmond' 5
proclamation iorbiddine public gath
erings until all danger from the in

parts of the country. is passed.

one day the last OF the week getting
bills printed and making arrange
mcnts for sale that he will hold in
the near future. Mr.. Lawson has de-
cidcd to retire from farming and move
to town where he will enjoy well
earned rest. From one cause and an
other many OF Bates county'S. farm
crs are retiring and moving to town
this year. The war has taken many
OF the boys and the old people are not
able to carry on the hard work in
cidcnt to'conducting the modern farm
SO they give it up and leave the old
home place and come to town.
