decision of the supreme court that

course Of study for the common

court in the opinion recently written
by Bronson. did not define the super
vision or give any particulars as to
it's recognition of the board of admin
istration. The law, the constitution,

ingly with Miss Nelson, that the

tory, in her favor. Her work is much
in the nature of Post Dated Check.

received word this morning of gen
eral enlargement of that strong COM

resources. They have just purchased
the business of two other large Free

increase in resources will be enabled
to handle much larger business than

considerably enlarge the scope of his
operations. Mr.. Gregg is rapidly
building up a splendid business for the
company in this section and doing
much work to advertise and develop
the dry lands of Prowers, Baea. Bent

many loans that are absolutely neces-
sary TO insure their development. Mr.
Gregg informs us that he will be able
to take care of all loans needed for
the DEVELOPMENT of these lands and ex-
poets to now be able to extend his
local agencies in other sections also.

Broken Through at Last.

One of the big Santa Fe snow plows
that had been bucking the Kansas
snow drifts for several weeks got
through last Friday and came up to
Lamar to bask in the Italian sunshine
and give the crew chance to thaw

quired several engines to handle it. 1t
attracted large crowds here as it was
quite a curiosity to those who had

Though historical records relating
to the thistle are vague. tradition Is
glib. According to one story. tho
Danes were stealing barefoOted
through the darkness toward the Scot
tish camp when one Of the soldiers
suddenly trod upon q thistle. Invol-
UNFAIRLY. he uttered cry Of pain, and
the Scotsmen. being aroused. leaped
to their feet, hurled themselves upon
the Danes. and inflicted fearful slaugh.
ter upon their foes. Another legend
says a. writer in Toronto Globe-re-
lntes how Queen Scotia. after 4 hard
fought battle in which abe had proved
victorious. threw herself down upon
the ground to rest, only to be received
by the prickly spines Of thistle. Up
she Jumped In fury. and plucking up
the nettle by the roots. was about to
huri It away. when for some reason un-
explained. her heart suddenly soften.
ed, and she decided that from that
time forward thistles should always
be for her the enblems Of victory. So
she stuck the nettle In her helmet,
and Scotland has taken the thistle q
its emblem ever since.
