OgaIlah and Vicinity

The little town of Ogal1ah is
located in a very productive and well
settled part of Trego county which
makes it live trading place The
farmers in the surrounding country
have finely improved farms equipped
in riding through the country
a stranger is impressed by the pros
porous appearance of the farmers.
The farm buildings are not all large
but they are good The work on the
farm is done with we11-kept horses
who have lived in that vicinity the
longest have no disposition to sell out
and go elsewhere They have made
money living and farming in Ogallah
township and they are willing to stay
by it. The merchants and other bust
ness men of the little town are as
loyal to it and the surrounding coun-
try are the farmers. The citizens
of the town and vicinity showed their
enterprise and loyalty in 1917 when
they formed stock company and
raised sufficient money to erect a
large cement block building to be
used community hall. This
building is equipped with electric
lights and other modern conveniences
and is a source of much pleasure and
satisfaction to the people of the COM
munity. The people of Ogal1ah
showed other evidences of their en-
terprise when during the summer of
1919 they tore down their old brick
school house which was somewhat out
d-f0 81, - -,
terial in erecting a smaller but far
The members and adherents of the
local Christian church also con-
tributed the funds and erected a very
nice modern church building. Like
wise the Ogallah State bank which
had been using one corner of a build
ing for its headquarters ever since it
was organized, caught the spirit and
purchased a vacant brick building
and fitted it up with all the modern
conveniences used in the rural bank
ing business. Their new banking
home is, indeed, very neat and at
tractive- One of the finest of mod
ern homes of Trego county, that of
W. A Tawney, is located at Ogallah-
These things show the enterprising
and determined disposition of the
people OF OSaIlan township ana WITH
their push and stick there is no doubt
of Oga11ah continuing to improve and
in due time it will be Incorporated as
a city.
Here is a list of the business enter |
prises represented at Ogallah:
Three elevators.
One lumber yard.
Telephone Company and exchange |
Two general stores. 4
One hardware store.
One Bank.
One harness and shoe repair shop. |
One restaurant.
Two cream stations
One carpenter shop.
One auto repair shop
One auto and auto supply dealer.
One broom factory.

In mentioning the storm of Novem-
Der Is, 1886, an account of which is
published in this paper, we learned
of terrible experience of Mrs. Swan
Lofstead, of Ogallah township, that
same winter in another storm She
was assisting hired man by the man
of Eklund in watering the cattle They
had gone short distance from the
house on bob sled to which they had
a horse hitched- After watering the
cattle and in their return to the house
they became confused in the storm
and lost their way. After wandering
around for several hours they found
the railroad track and followed it.
This finally brought them to the de-
pot at Ogallah- Glenn Hoar was agent
there at that time and he took them
all, horse and all, into the depot
During the wanderings Mrs. Lof-
stead suffered considerab1y-from the
cold and would have persisted had not
Mr. Eklund shaken her severely many
times Mrs Lofstead is still living in
Ogallah township and is the mother
of Martin Lofstead, a Trego county
boy who died from the effects of
wounds received while in service of
the government over seas

Birmingham, Alabama, reports the
highest price yet for newspapers for
city delivery.
Beginning December 10, the car
Tier delivery price of all three of the
Birmingham newspapers will be Is
cents per week, daily and Sunday.
The single copy price will be cents
daily and 10 cents Sunday. The mail
rates for daily and Sunday are ad-
vanced to $500 a month, $2.75 for
for three months, $500 for six
months, and $1,000 for twelve
months. The price for the daily
only is $500 per year.
Atlanta and New Orleans news
papers are now charging twenty
cents a week for seven-day service
by city carrier and their mail rates
lave been greatly advanced.
These increases are inevitable
The advance in the cost of blank
paper alone justifies what these
newspapers have done.

CHILDREN IN SIBERIA FACE
HORRIBLE DEATH
FACE

Unless some immediate assistance
in the most substantial form is sent
to those who are working in Siberia
to stem the ravages of hunger, ex-
posture and disease, one of every
three among the young children OF
Siberia is doomed to die this winter,
according to the estimate situation
sent to Japan by Countess Tolstoy, a
well-known relief worker of the Rus
sian Red Cross and a relative of the
late Count Tolstoy.
Prices of milk, butter, bread,
meat and other food staples have
been advancing for many months
and even in sections of Siberia,
where wheat, cattle, sheep, barley
and poultry are plentiful the prices
are comparatively high, owing to
the depreciation in the value OF the
rouble, the standard money. Many
refugees are undernourished in the
midst of plenty because they have
no money with which to buy.

HENDERSON, KY, Dec. 15.-A
striking picture of health, though
nearly five years past the four-score
mark, L. M. Cheaney, "a years old
residing on rural route No. /, Ro-
bard, KY, near here, is among the
thousands of Kentuckians who are
gratefully praising Trutona, the
perfect tonic.
For the past forty years / have
suffered from a catarrhal affection
of the stomach" Mr.. Cheaney said.
Il was continually bothered with
constipation. Pains in my neck and
back would often become so severe
at night that I'd have to get up and
apply hot cloths to relieve them.
Il cannot say too much for Tru-
tona because of the relief I've gain
ed from those nerve-wrecking pains.
My bowels have never been in bet
ter condition than at present
either. 1 sleep better at night, too,
than I have for some time. Trutona
has helped in more ways than one
and l believe it will relieve anyone
suffering as l did"
Trutona is now being introduced
and explained in Paris, at the Drug
Store of G.. S. Warden & Son.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIGH COST
OF LIVING.

AT meeting OF the Kentucky
High Cost of Living Commission in
Louisville, Col. P. H. Callahan, of
that city, was elected chairman. 1t
was announced that the Department
of Justice had taken over this Com
mission and it's full personnel, ask
ing 1T to be the governmental agency
to carry out the spirit and letter of
the law as outlined in the recent ex-
tension of the Lever Act, which pro-
vides for fine and imprisonment of
anyone guilty of profiteering in any
Of the essentials of food, fuel and
clothing. The Commission has now
agreed upon an extended program to
effect an organization throughout
the State, realizing that the present
high cost Of living is one Of the most
disturbing elements existing in
American life to-day.
Since the Commission is now I'M
der the direction of the Federal
Government with the full strength
Of the Department of Justice behind
it, anyone found profiteering in the
ESSENTIALS of life may expect to be
summarily dealt with. A fair price
duty 1T is to fix fair price on all
necessary commodities, and as soon
as these prices are completed, any
enc found charging a higher price
will be promptly proceeded against
through the U. S. District Attorney
office.
However, it is absolutely neces-
sary that the public periodically do
their part in this work by promptly
reporting to the High Cost of Liv-
ing Commission, at Louisville, Ken
lucky, all cases where apparent over
charge has been made, for the field
of Investigation is so very large that
the committees investigators can
personally locate only small per-
centage of the offenders, therefore,
it is the purpose of this body to en-
list the cooperation of all business,
civic, religious and welfare associa-
tons, but more especially the citi-
Zens themselves in an effort to rem
edy the present condition.
A most aggressive plan of cam
paign was outlined with District At
torneys Gregory and Slattery, of the
United States Court, present, who
oil W SINC lull CO-OHCA dtioii
and assistance, and the public now
has the assurance that any case of
overcharge reported will have
prompt attention, but in sending in
these reports, it is absolutely neces-
sary in order to make proper inves-
tigation that the detailed informa-
ton be given as to the price paid
for the article itself, date Of pur-
chase, and name of dealer, over the
signature of the purchaser.
The efforts of the Commission so
far have been largely confined to
Louisville, where it has succeeded
in bringing about considerable ben
Gifts, and it is now our purpose to
extend the usefulness of this Com
mission to all parts of the State, and
anyone anywhere should write the
High Cost of Living Commission,
Louisville, Kentucky, if they have
been overcharged or if they know of
any overcharging prevailing.

Bond Tickers Operating

The Stock Exchange yesterday began
recording transactions in bonds on
separate tickers. Hitherto, bond sales
and quotations have been mixed in
with the transactions in stocks so that
on active trading days the reports Of
ssales have not been printed until sew
eral minutes after they had taken place
on the floor of the exchange The
Stock Exchange authorities have long
been working on plan for establish
ing separate ticker service for bonds
in the belief that in the coming years
foreign securities will be sold here in
large volume and will have ready
market. The bond tickers are operated
by the Stock Exchanges own company,
the New York Ouotation Company.
