FARM ACCOUNTS MEETING

Many farmers are becoming inter-
ested in keeping accounts of the farm
business since it is of great assis-
tance in making their report for the
income tax. Having record of the
farm business also gives the farmer
a chance to better study the cause of
profits of loss and many times he is
able to make changes in the farming
operations that are to his financial
advantage.
Mr. r. E. Mccall, State Farm Man
agement Demonstrator will be in Wa
Keeney, March 9th, to assist farmers
in starting accounts for the year or
to summarize records that were
kept the past year. Any questions
that may come up in regard to the
income tax as affecting the farmer
will also be explained.
Every one interested should be
present at 10 a. m. or 2 p. m. on
March 9th.
W. A. Boys,
District Agricultural Agent.

LOCUST CLUB GUEST DAY

Last Friday afternoon the Locust
Club held its annual Guest Day meet
ing at the home of Mrs. c. R. Hille.
The date of the clubs meeting being
Washington's birthday, flags and red
white and blue decorations were used
very effectively throughout the rooms
giving the true patriotic touch that
is so much to be desired in these days
when the hearts and minds of the
people turn to thoughts of patriotism
in their social life as well as at other
times. Two large jardinieres OF gor-
geous cyclamen in full bloom added a
touch of spring and harmonized well
with the decorations. After rendering
a short program on South America,
some of its customs, people and Ia
nous places, the guest were invited
to their places at small tables which
had previously been prepared by the
club ladies for the occasion. The color
scheme was followed in the table
decorations, red, white and blue
streamers being attractively arrang-
ed and the place cards made by Mr.
J. H. Hickman were clever little
hatchet designs prettily done in water
color. A menu of coffeen. hot rolls,
baked fish in ramekins, pickles and
brown pudding with sauce was served
The Locust Club donated both its
annual banquet money and Guest Day
money to the Red Cross work so has
been serving very simply at its social
functions this year.
Those present were: Mrs. A. H
Blair, Mrs. w. Mattingly, Mrs. j. c.
Cortright, Mrs. a. J. Ellermeyer,
Mrs. H. S. Giver, Mrs. o. B. Goffe-

OBTTUARY-MRs. J. W. BLAKELY

Samantha E. Chewing was born in
Grant county. Wis, Nov. /, 1859. She
was married to John w. Blakely on
November 25, 1877 To this union six
children were born, five boys and one
girl. Roy W., Guy G., Robert o., Ross
J., Eugene and Mrs. A B. Rich, all of
whom survive her and mourn her loss.
She became a christian early in life
and lived her religion every day in
word and deed. She came to Kansas
with her family in 1886 and located
ago took up her residence in this city
where she was living at the time of
her death. Her sweet and tranquil
face was an index to a lovely char
acter and to know her was to become
a true friend, for by her loyalty to all
things that were good and right and
her kindly manner to all won for her
many warm friends who will always
count it a privilege that they ever
knew her. She was loyal to her fam
lily, her country, and her God, and gave
freely of herself to all of these. She
was an ardent member of the M. E.
church and her clear testimony always
sounded the true ring of the victor
ious Christian. She was a member of
the order of the Eastern Star and
Rebecca lodges and will be greatly
missed by them. The home life was
made ideal by her presence and her
children will miss her most sadly for
she was a true home maker. Besides
her children, she lives an aged moth
er, three sisters, two brothers, and a
number of other relatives and friends
to mourn her loss.
Her death occurred at the home of
her son, Guy, near Ogallah, on We'd
nesday morning, February 20, at $3.50
o'clock after very brief illness caus-
ed by pleurisy. On Thursday after
noon the funeral was held at the
M. E. church at Ogallah, Rev. Sutton
the pastor, conducting the services
and being assisted by Rev. w. R.
Woodward, of Quinter. The remains
were followed to the Ogallah ceme-
terry by large number of sympath-
.izing friends. The breaved family
have the sympathy of all in this their
sad hour of sorrow and bereavement.
Card of Thanks
To all the friends and neighbors
whose sympathy and services were so
kindly tenered in our time of great
sorrow and bereavement also for the
beautiful floral offerings we desire
to extend our heartfelt thanks.

A shipment of knitted work was
made the first of last week, consist
ing of the following pieces: 1 scarf,
helmets, pairs wristlets, IA sweat
ers, and 20 pairs of sox.
There is a great need of more work
ers. Consider this an invitation and
do not wait for personal solicitation
or urging. Everybody should be at
work There is great need of hospital
supplies, as well as knitted garments,
and as the war grows older the need
becomes greater and more urgent.
Offer your services.
Turn in your work as soon as fin
ished. It is needed, so do not hold it.
It will be sent to headquarters as fast
as economical parcels can be made up,
and besides this, the packer cannot
tell how large a receptacle or bundle
to prepare until the finished work is
assembled. Don't hold your work.
Hand it in.
The southwestern division of the
A R. c., with headquarters at st.
Louis, sends out each week sheet
or more of important items" for the
information and guidance of the heads
of departments of chapter workers.
The following ''items" are culled from
recent issues.
Wear your bottom: "The Red Cross
button is badge of honor and sign
of loyalty. Wear your Red Cross but
ton every day so that all men may
know that you are enlisted in the
great militant army of the Red
Cross" Let your light shine.
Foreign visitors to our shores have
commented on the solidarity of the
American people as indicated by the
Red Cross service flags displayed in
millions of windows throughout the
land. Do not think that simply be-
cause the Christmas Membership
Campaign has passed that the obliga-
ton to display the service flag no
permanent announcement that loyal
Americans dwell in the house where
you live. Let your light shine.

Last Tuesday evening DR.. Earnest
J. Powell gave his lecture Fancies,
Forces and Facts at the Garden Thea
ter. This was the last number on the
entertainment course for the winter
and was an excellent one. It seems
to US that our town rather loses out
on the lectures and this should not
be, for people cannot afford to miss
hearing as good a lecture as DR..
Powell gave last Friday evening, he
was brilliant and eloquent speaker
and his lecture contained real heart
stirring message for the people. Dr.
Powell is a self made man and knows
how to handle subject full of human
interest in a manner that receives
sympathetic response. We would like
to see him back in Wa-Keeney at
some future date.

They tell US to "Give and give until
it hurts" Old ST observes that some
people are easily hurt.
There are a great many words
which you cannot find in your un-
abridged dictionary if it is more than
twenty years old.
And one of those words is "Camou-
fiage." However, if you want defin-
ition just remember "He kept US out
of the war"
Every war brings to the surface
one or more new words. The Franco
Prussian war gave US "mitrailleuse,"
the fore-runner of machine gun"
The Cuban war gave us "machete"
and "bolo" came from the Philip
pines. The Boer war made US famil-
ldI WITH NGiL, Trek ana kOQJG.
The invention and operation of the
flying machine also has given several
new words, such aviate, aviator, avia-
ton, volplane, hangar, and others.
The first three are derived from the
latin "avis", meaning a bird. And
now, by the way, do you say sSavy 8"
or "avvey 81? Long "a" or short "a"?
The papers say that Mr.. Voelker
has the measles. o yes, you guessed
it the first time. He just naturally
couldn't have any but the German

trial plants expecting the pledges to be
filled out voluntarily.
Only failure will follow such meth
ods. Secure permission from the man
ager, and see that every man, woman
and child is interviewed personally by
the solicitors.
The committee will consider you per-
sonally responsible if a single indiv-
idual in your district is overlooked,
or fails to do his share"

AS CANADIAN SOLDIER
Made Fine Living Begging
From Washington
| inhabitants.

With cane and limp, and the pa
pers of a soldiers discharge from the
Canadian army, Tom Slattcrly, ex-con-
Wet out on conditional pardon from
Walla Walla was making a fine living
few weeks ago soliciting funds in
Washington. Now he is in the city Jail
awaiting action by the Walla Walla
prison authorities.
He is one of the two men arrested a
few days ago charged with robbing the
Sundin store. His partner, who is put
ting in his time at the county Jail, is
another ex-convict from Walla Walla,
where he was sent under the name of
E. w. Bentz, convicted of forgery. He
also is OUT on a parole.
Slatterly is the first man on record
who has been making money appealing
to the generosity of people under the
plea Of lameness all due to his two
years services with the Canadian army
IN France according to his story.
With the stolen discharge of Tracy
Cartwright, an army and navy veteran
Of Canada, he had been collecting mon
ey in Washington, although he claims
not to have worked in this state.
His mode of working was as Follows:
With limp and cane, he would pre-
sent a paper as follows "Kind friend:
/ have just been released from the hos
pital and am unable to work and am
without funds. l am trying to raise
funds to 60 to Calgary, where have
friends who will help me-"
He confessed to Sheriff Needham
that it was easy work in some locali-
ties soliciting from house, to house, pre-
senting his paper. There was found in
his grip the paper where in one local
ity people signed their names and gave
from 25 cents to 81 each, showing by
his days work collection Of $23;5O;
As a wire from the Walla Walla
state prison confirms the fact that the
men now in custody are both ex-eon-
victs, one out on parole and the other
ON a conditional pardon, the chances
are they will be returned to the Wash
ington authorities.
