Dreams
What They Mean
DID you DREAM OF THE pEAo9

N REAMS Of the dead are exceed
- ingly common and are generally
very vivid which is ascrlbed by Ellis
to the fact that In such dreams two
opposing groups Of memories contend
In one Of which our relatives or
friends are alive and In the other
dead; and the effort Of the dream con-
seriousness to adjust these two groups
causes an Intensity In the dream emo
ton experienced. The conflict Of these
opposing forces is the reason that fire.
quently In our dreams Of the dead we
are at fist perplexed to find our dear
ones with us and say to ourselves:
But he Tor she) Is dead" But the
'stream Of Images which represents
them as alive comes from an older
and richer source, Is the more power
full" so that 1t overcomes the other
and the dream consciousness seeks to
adjust the difference by some such
thought as that the person dreamed of
Is not really dead but was only report
ed to have died. Sometimes the older
emotional stream Is so much the
stronger that we do not experience
this perplexity. In all cases where
we see our dead in dreams as alive
our dream consciousness accepts 1t as
a fact that they are alive.
To the mystics to dream that we see
the dead alive is accounted very ia
vOrable omen, especially If they speak
to US. If they look reproachfully at
us, or demand of us an accounting Of
some of our acts. it Is a sign that we
had better hasten to correct our lives
and take greater heed to our behavior.
In this connection the words of Doctor
Radcliffe the eminent English investi-
gator are interesting. He says: you
are more or less at liberty to believe
that the dead and living may exist to-
gether in world of spirit in which
the so-called living are less living than
the so-called dead; and that, in fact,
the dead may command, as they do in
dreams" For a long time material
istlc writer's, Herbert Spencer among
the number have attributed the belief
of primitive man and savages in a
spirit world to dreams Of the dead
Before 1898 no attempt was made at a
scientific analysis of dreams of this
type but they are now attracting much
attention.

EVELYN ENNIS

Evelyn Virginia Brown was born
in Virginia, February 18th, 1871,
and died at her home near Dombey,
Oklahoma, May 10th, 1920, at the ad-
vanced age of 70 years. When a small
child she came to Missouri with her
parents, John and Hannah Brown and
there grew to womanhood and was
married to Alexander Sheridan Ennis
who was veteran of the Civil War
and was laid to rest in the National
cemetery at Springfield, Mo. Nearly
a quarter of century ago she moved
with her children to Logan, Kansas,
where she endured the hardships and
privations of pioneer life until her
children were old enough to enter
actively into the business world, then
moved to Kansas City, Mo-, where she
made her home for several years. In
1908 at an age when most women are
planning to spend their days in rest
and comfort, Mrs. Ennis moved with
four of her children to ranch in
Beaver County where she lived active
and happy until the day of her death.
Her long life was spent in loving SER
vice and ready sacrifice for her chill
dren, friends and neighbors. She was
the mother of ten children, eight of
whom survive her She was buried
in the Liberal cemetery and the many
beautiful floral offerings gave evil
dence of the sincere love and deep
grief of those who mourn her death.

GET BACK TO NORMAL

The Cunningham Clipper has the
following to say, in its current issue,
of the discovery of oil in its first pros
pect hole. The first wave of excite
ment over the discovery has subsidized
and the people are settling down to
await further developments. The drill
had been pushed many feet below the
casing at the time oil sand was struck
and drilling operations were suspend
ed to ream out the hole and case it
up. The extent of the strike will
not be known definitely until little
later.
Black, viscid fued, pronounced by
expert oil men to be a good grade of
oil, was discovered late last week in
The test well on the Latham section
by the Cunningham Oil and Gas Com
pany. The news of the valuable find
soon spread like wildfire. Ever since
the discovery great excitement has
prevailed. Telephones and telegraph
wires have been busy answering calls
of greedy newspapers. Hundreds of
autos, from the ubiquitous Ford to
the spacious and luxurious sedan,
have been in evidence.
Thousands of people have rushed
to the scene of the excitement. Oil
men, old heads at the game, have been
seen mixing with your everyday citi-
zen of the community shaking hands
over the good fortune of our enter
prising people. On the streets small
groups of men are seen talking over.
the news with great fervor and many
gesticulations. At last, after many
months of anxious waiting, dull care
has been thrown to the winds. Con-
tentment has settled once more over
the faces of many. Many, no doubt,
are dreaming of wealth; many, too
of a much needle auto, or perhaps a
trip to the seashore. Such changes
are wrought only by the magic word
OIL.
The Cunningham Oil & Gas COM
pany's test well is the attraction Of
the hour. 1t is the deepest test we'll
in Kansas and the first good showing
of oil thus far discovered west of the
Arkansas. Besides all this, it is in
strictly wildcat territory, long ago
condemned by many leading geolo-
gists.-Pratt Tribune

Meat Substitutes.

Meat, though wholesome and well
liked by the majority of people, Is not
essential to well-balanced meal
and many hOusekeepers who are in
terested in lessening the food bill, sub
stitute some other foods equally or
more nourishing and at less cost.
Foods to take the place of meat should
he rich in protein and fat. Cheese is
staple food with which everyone Is
familiar and one which may be used
in variety Of ways.
In substituting cheese or any food
for meat, especial pains should be
taken to serve dishes which are well
liked by the family.

SERVICE is VITAL TO SUCCESS
OF THE TRUCK INDUSTRY


"Service is the vital element of a
business that is conducted on a sound
basis" says Charles B. Foohis, vice
president and general sales manager
Of The Nash Motors Company. "Noth-
ing else, in fact, matters quite so
much in any business that is conduct
ed with a view to permanency.
"Whie this is true in merchandising
of any commodity it is particularly
applicable to the motor truck business.
After "A man has bought truck for
needs he is interested only in having
that truck do the work which he was
led by the dealer to believe it will do.
"Thus, when good truck has back
of it an organization that thoroughly
understands and realizes the import
ance of service, an organization ade-
quately equipped to take care of its
product under all reasonable condi-
tons, the owner receives service in
full measure. And in a motor truck
business, that is properly conducted,
there is no place for half-hearted
spirit, in the matter of service.
"In the past few years, the truck
has acquired definite and important
position in the transportation field I;
it has kept pace whit he demands of
industry and has contributed mater
tally to the development of the coun-
try.
Manufacturers and merchants
large and small, as well as farmers
and men identified with practically
all forms of industry are fully awake
to the practicability of the motor
truck as it relates to their individual
problems of transportation. But they
also are as fully awake to the import
once of the element of service"

BOY SCOUT WEEK
MAY 80 TO JUNE 6

Last year a drive was made to Sc
cure members for the Boy Scouts and
Seward County went over the top,
The drive this year will be from May
30th to June 9th and it is hoped that
we can again send in a clean report.
This drive is for members for the
National Organization, and upon its
completion the matter of re-organiZ-
ing the local patrols will be pushed.
1t is said there will be enough
members to make up three patrols.
Bide Pennington has consented to
take charge of one patrol as Scout
master, and now it is up to two other
men to come forth and head the other
patrols.
G. L. Light is chairman of the local
COUNCIL and is lending his efforts to
see a thorough reorganization of the
local patrols. Anyone desiring infor-
nation can see Mr.. Light.
Robert Baughman and Raymond
have taken the lead on the
part of the boys and are putting in
some good licks toward re-Organiza-
ton.
No one familiar wiz the Boy
Scout organization will deny the ines
Unable value of the Scout movement.
With conscientious ScOutmasters the
is a great thing in the
lives of the boys and instills in their
minds the higher ideals of life.
Every citizen of Liberal and espec-
tally the parents of boys of Scout age
should assist in every way possible
the organization and maintenance Of
The Scouts.

NO STRANGERS.

There ought to be no strangers in this
little vale Of tears;
l haven't seen strangers face for years
and years and years
Il see, of course, some people that never
saw before,
But they're just like the others that I've
known in days of yore.
They've felt and known the selfsame
things the rest have known and felt,
They'll. freeze up for unfriendly folks, for
kindly ones they'll melt.
They've each one had sorrow that they
thought they couldn't bear,
But bore it, just as people do with sor-
rows everywhere.
There ought to be no strangers, in this
so-called world of woe!
I see new people that l love, just every
where I go.
And everyone has felt some joy that I
had felt some time;
And each has had his little dream of
higher slopes to climb;
And each has known the sweets of home
at some time or another;
And nearly every man you meet will rave
about his mother.
They thrill at things that thrill me, too,
these friends I never met
There ought to be no strangers in this
misnamed world of fret!
