CATCHES WATER DOG.


Will Strickland of Galena made an
unusual catch on his fish line while
down the river Sunday. Instead of a
fish he caught a water pup or water
dog. 1t is seemingly a fish with four
legs. or a cross between fish and an
alligator. This one was about four
teen inches long, of slate color and
aside from the legs and tail, resem-
bles bull head catfish. 1t is disgust
ing to look at and inhabits the south
ern waters as a rule though once in a
great while it gets into a northern
stream. The slime Oh the skin of this
reptile is said to be a rank poison if
it comes in contact with an open wound
An old fisherman said this afternoon
that the bite is likewise as poisonous
as that of a rattles92ke Mr. Strick-

IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Anton Knapp.

n
Edie G. Roberts was born Dec. 30,
1884, in the state of Indiana Part OF
her girlhood years were spent in Lam
caster where she attended school in
what was known as the old institute.
On Dec. 80, 1866 she was married to
Anton Knapp, not long after his dis
charge from the army and they went
to housekeeping on the Geo. NARROW
farm, at Hurricane. After living On
S veral different farms they finally
moved, in 1888, to the place at Cass-
vile now owned by the Klindt Gergef
Canning Co. farm and there, with the
exception of three years spent in Kan
sac and Iowa, they made their home
until their removal to Lancaster
seventeen years ago.
Five children were born to them,
ali living Mrs. Fred Miles of Plains,
Kansas, Perry of Long Prairie, Mimi ,
Mrs. John Pringle of Cassville, Clay
of the Hurricane, end Parke of this
city Two brothers and one sister ali
living in the west, nineteen grand
children and one. great-gre nd-child be-
sides her husband, Anton Knapp, sur
Vive, also a cousin, Mrs. E. C. Thomas
of Potosi, the only immediate relative
besides her immediate family in this
country.
Her husband amply described her
when he said of her since her death,
She has been faithful woman in her
day, faithful woman" She was OF
. kind disposition, speaking i'll of no
ne and she was rarely generous, hav-
ing always a desire to share whatever
of good came to her with her family
and friends. The truth of Lowell's
words must have come home to her,
mot what we give but what we share"
For the gift without the giver is
bare"
And so she gave freely of herself
in many ways until death claimed her
ct Z o'clock on Saturday morning Oct.
30th, just lacking two months of her
18TH birthday. But, tho gone, she will
always remain enshrined as a sacred
memory in the hearts of her children
and loved ones.
Tie funeral was held from her home
at 2 p. M Tuesday Rev. Guy W.
Campbell officiating.

TNHE new Studebaker LICHT.SIx
meets the long existing demand
for comfortable, durable and
economical light weight, six-cylin-
der car. The public has always
wanted such a car-the New LIGHT.
SIX satisfies this desire.
Although this new six-cylinder
car weighs but 240O pounds, it is
so perfectly balanced that its road
ability is remarkable - there is no
side sway or creeping - it drives
straight as an arrow. You must
ride in it and drive it to appreciate
gust how 1t sets new standards of
power, fiexibility, comfort, ease of

and freedom from vibration.
The motor of the New LIcHT-SIx
is an exclusive StIdebaker design
conceived by Studebaker engineers
and built complete in Studebaker
factories. No other light, six-cylinder
motor yet produced is as free from
vibration or as flexible and powerful.
You can have the advantage of
this motors wonderful gasoline
economy and the satisfaction of its
smoothness of operation only by
owning a Studebaker LICHT-SIX.
Let us give you a demonstration
of the New LICHT-SIX-or better
still drive it yourself.

THE COUNTY FAIR

Today's Housewife:
THE COUNTY FAIR
l got first premium on ny federal cake,
And Elmer got two seconds on his
corn;
Just look mere, Caroline; as sure's
you're born
That tatting collar entered by Jane
Blake
Got first this year again; For Mercy's
Sakei
1t isn't that it's seized and slightly
worn,
But every year! And, look, one
point is torni
1t isn't fair! It's just mean old fake!
No. Elmer, you must ctay right here
with me;
Your sisters and your pa will be here,
too;
Why, no! That dancing shows not fit
to see.
Crying? A seven year old boy like you!
feel like taking you across my knee,
Just like four year old; indeed, do.
HOUSE CLEANING.
Be sure ana Lang those rugs out or
the line;
Don't try to beat them lying on the
ground;
They're simply terrible-Well, I'll be
bound!
I never thought in my house, Caroline,
There'd be so much dirt; l love to
have things shine;
How can 1 with the children tearing
round,
The way they uc?-Just look at what
have found; Buffalo moth-and in
house of mine!
| said this year I'd do one room a day,
But, l declare, l think we'd better go
Ahead and finish it; l always say
The slime thing every year; Well,
don't know
It's not so hard, you helping me this
way;
Just hold the ladder, dear; it wobbles
so.

Warren C. Harding

While the unexpected has happen
ed in the nomination of Warren G.
Harding for president at the great
Republican convention, last week, the
rank and file of the party are salts
fed. Of course, there are a few
kickers. There are always kckers-
let them kick. The Free Press pre-
diets a Republican landslide next
November, the like of which has
never been known. ''Let Us Have
Peace" will be the slogan, and also
efficiency and patriotism in the White
House at Washington.
March 4th, 1921, will end demo-
cratic misrule, and the most expensive
and unamerican administration ever
known in the history of the United
States, with one exception. In 1861
when the Civil War broke out, which
lasted over four years, the demo-
cratic party were in the saddle
James Buchanan was president.
Calvin Coolidge, governor of Mass
achusetts, for vice-president, was the
choice of a large part of the conven-
tios from the start-the outcome was
no surprise. He is the logical !candi-
date and will win by the votes of the
republican party in November.

1000 Cut Off Completed and Road
Over 1t a Boulevard
The Ellis county autohrities have
just accomplished one of the great
est pieces of road work attempted
in this section of Kansas and Great
ed a north and south highway of
which Western Kansas can well be
proud. The Plainville-Hays road
is the natural highway for most Of
the auto travel between northern
Kansas and Hays. The Deane Hill,
the scene of hundreds of auto
tragedies, stood in the way and travel
diverted as much as possible to other
roads.
Work on the big rock cut and fill
which has been going on since the
first of January, was completed last
week. The road bed was smoothed
by running a tractor over it. Nearly
all cars now negotiate the hill on
high. The work cost Ellis county
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The construction gang has been
working this week on the small hill
this side of the main one and smooth
ing the approaches. On the north
side of the river they are bringing the
road straight north to the county line
and cutting out the angle.
Saturday the big grading outfit
working north from Hays, was four
miles from the hill. The entire work
is probably completed by this time
