OBITUARY
By George Eyer

TATO-P. o. Tato, Familiarity
known as Spud, was removed from
this earthly menu at his boarding
house yesterday. The attending ply
stefan, DR.. Hi Price, said proftitis
was the direct cause of his demise,
and as he has suffered with tubercu-
losis for years he was prepared to
die. Mr. Tato was Of Irish parentage,
prominent among rich and poor.
High society carried him on a silver
platter and the lowly waitress loved
to MARBLE his name. He was so kind
hearted his best friends skinned him.
Mr.. P. o. Tato's chips in the game
of life were ever played on the side
of right, for altho he was sometimes
hard-boiled, he did his best in the
dark Of the moon. At banquets and
socials he was famous for his mash
ing, and he usually came home with
the gravy. He was often in a peck
of trouble, sometimes being served in
a straight-jacket. His daughter,
Seed, and wife, Mrs. Sweet Tato, sur
vive. The remains will be taken to
the old fields near FL Dorado and
"spudded in" tomorrow.-Topeka

COMMITTEE MET FRIDAY
TO PERFECT SCHOOL PLAN
Church Missionary Societies of the
City to Help Mexicans by Con-
Quoting Summer School.

The Missionary societies of the city
churches have organized a truly mis-
sionary work when they have planned
to help the Mexicans of the city by
employing teacher for them who will
teach during the summer months, the
financial as well as the spiritual aid
being maintained by the societies.
Already arrangements have been
made to engage teacher from .Albu-
querque, N. NJ, who is a young Span
ish woman who has been educated
along this line of work.
On interviewing the Mexican peo-
pie here, the committee found that
they not only were willing for the
school, but hailed the proposition with
enthusiasm.
There are about 1875 Mexicans IN
the city, according to the census re
port, and almost all are naturalized
citizens. While the men can speak
English, very few of the women are
able to do so, and the little children
seldom attend school and as the city
has no truant officer the matter has
not been looked after properly.
n CoIlIHltIee Is HoW Trying 10 ma
a suitable place to hold the school
and prefer it on the south side since
it will be close to the homes of the
students and especially for. the little
tots.
Glasses in Sewing and cooking will
be maintained for the older girls and
women along with the text book
course.
The school will be non-sectarian in
every particular and is only for the
purpose of getting in closer touch
with our Mexican friends and neigh.

FIVE BOYS WERE LEFT BEHIND

Five boys were unintentionally left
behind Saturday afternoon, when
several car loads of grade children
spent the day on Sharpe's Creek. They
had wandered from the rest to take
one more swim in the smimmin' hole
and in the meantime, the cars came
and the rest of the party left, each
thinking the five boys were in the
other car. They were not missed until
five anxious mothers were making in
quiries late Saturday night. One of
the boys phoned from Hollands ranch
telling his parents of the predicament
and a car was sent after them. II
proved to be rather an expensive pic
mic for the parents of the boys.

many deaths among stock, horses

State Veterinarian Jacobs had an
article in the Dec. 10 issue of the
Enterprise in which he states the
peculiar disease" was prevalent
over the state. DR.. Jabcobs attrib-
utes it to feeding mouldy grain and
roughness. He advises extraordina-
nv caution in the selection of feed,
His idea is preventing, rather than
attempted cure, as he states there is
little cure for this complaint.

MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup

food. But we have come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with B. A.
Thomas Stock Remedy which con-
tains the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in more highly concen-
trated form. We guarantee that this
remedy will make your cows give
more milk, and better milk, with the
same feed. For sale by Reavis &
