battalion of Kansas State guards met
in the sheriff's office at the court
house Wednesday night for the pur-
pose of disbanding the company and
being mustered out The company was
called to attention by the captain, J.
II. Hickman. The motion was made
seconded and carried that the COM
pany stand mustered out. The dis
position of the property of the com
pany was taken up.
The company bugle and the silk flag
which the company won in the COM
petetive drill at the fair grounds in
1918, was presented to Moore Post,
American Legion, which was recently
organized here, with the provision that
should the Post ever disband that the
flag and bugle shall then become the
property of the Trego county. S. j.
Straw, first lieutenant of Co. A, was
appointed to present these relics to
the Post as soon possible.
Another motion which was heartily
second and carried was that after all
lawful bills against Co. A. are paid
that the money remaining in the
treasury be turned over to Moore Post
of the American Legion
There is some extra clothing and
paraphernelia in possession of the
company and the captain was author
/ lied to appoint committee to dispose
| of it and give the part suitable to the
! Boy Scouts. E. A. Courtney, R. S
Pierson and S. J. Straw were appoint
ed such committee.
There being no further business the

mere is no woman writing today who
seems to have penetrated more deeDlv
INTO the feminine mind tran PHYLLIS Bot

little masterpieces Of feminine psychol-
ogy. The first one, Helen of Troy"
deals with the second marriage of an
tngIishman who treasures the image Of
his first wife and seems not to he able
to discover that his second wife loves
him. 1t takes the generous act Of a
woman of doubtful reputation. whom his
wife had hefriended years before to
open his eyes 10 tie state of affairs at
his own hearthstonc. Mss BottCme wins
the sympathy of her readers for her
characters. The situation in the second
story, called Rose" is not so simple.
Rose. an English girl, marries a French
man who loves her. but he becomes in
NClved in vulgar intrigue with tic
wife of another man who wishes to make
her husband jealous. The climax comes
when Rose, still loving ner husband and
confident of his love for her. contrives
to bring husband and wife together with
out suspicion while she takes her own
husband off in triumph. II could happen
only where there was perfect love ana
perfect understanding. but Miss Bot

Period Furniture Guide

Walter A. Dyer, author OF "The Lure

yided a useful Handbook of Furniture

but contains much accurate informa-

disturbing technical distinctions which
would be likely to confuse the lay mind.
Many portly tones have been written
on this subject. but hitherto no popular
handbook Mr. Dyer has filled the zap
admirably and. in this day of the vogue
of period furniture, some of which is
pseudo or badly done, with his book
in hand there is no need for the buyer
to be ignorant of the points" or au-

GONE day an Ardent searcher after

the mystery of the description Of the

preston, derived from comparison of
the wrapper declarations with what lies
