as a sort of surprise. The ceremony
was performed on Tuesday, Nov, 8,
at Lamar and the newly.weds took

Mrs. J. Z. stebbins Disappears

During the past few days it has
come to light that Mrs. j. E. Steb
pins, wife of DR.. Stebbins of this
city, has disappeared and no trace
OF her can be found by her hus-
band. The facts in the case appear
to be as follows: Some weeks ago,
Dr. Stebbins, who Is well known
evangelist, was called to Holly and
points in western Kansas, for the
purpose of holding evangelistic
meetings, and of organizing two
new churches.
After being gone some weeks,
and receiving letters almost daily
from Mrs. Stebbins, he was flatten-
ed out by receiving registered let
ter from his wife, stating that she
had sold part of the office furni.
ture and household goods and was
saying goodby forever.
DR.. Stebbins came home at once.
and has since been endeavoring to
find some trace of his wife but with
little success. There have come to
his ears from authoritative sources
tales OF luncheons at all hours of
the day and night, as fell as auto.
mobile excursions at various times.
Whether the parties concerned in
these affairs included the missing
woman remains to be verified but
DIR. Stebbins is practically certain
they did.
DR.. and Mrs. Stebbins have been
married four years, and have, ac
rording to his statement, lived a
happy and cOngenial life. and the
sudden action of Mrs. Stebbins, is
the hardest blow he ever received.
The real cause of her actions, IL
not known at this time, and neith-
er is it known where she has gone,
as messages received from her folks
state that she is not with them.-Ls

THE STORY OF TEN HATS

The question naturally arises
quite often and especially since the
Holly business men recently sub
scribed neat sum to bring the
o. A. A. Highway into town, the
following from the Fort Scott( Kan.)
Tribune Is of interest at this time:
"a Fort Scott clothing house re-
Gently bought ten hats of a certain
make and style. 1t has two OF them
left, eight having been sold. One of
them was sold to Fort Scott man,
one was sold to man living in
Idaho, one to a Nebraska man, one
to a Hutchinson man. one to Kan
sas City man and three to men of
other more or less distant towns.
"Only few years ago this could
not have occurred. No Fort Scott
merchant sold anything to people
living outside what we called Fort
Scott trade territory, except in rare
Instances. 1t was almost notable
act, few years ago, when a man
irove twenty miles to this city TO
buy anything.
Seven of these hats that were
sold to persons living in many diff
ferent states were bought by per
IONS travelling thrh Fort Scott in
automobiles or coming from dis
tance in ears.
'sThe automobile and the through
highway have made the United
States Fort Scott trade territory.
4 Fort Scott druggist a short time
sold SIG drug bill to n man from
New York, who would not have
come near this city, probably, had
Fort Scott not been on a through
marked highway, and had this not
been known far and wide us
section of good roads.
$50 it is readily discernible to
those who have been knocking and
pulling back, as well as to those
who have been boosting, that the
men who have been planning and
putting through these highways
the men who have secured $4OO,
900 OF overnment money for the
building OF roads In this county
have been seeing big for this com
-Tunity. and have cen doing a great
work for those OF us who refused
to climb up and look over at the
tremendous transformation the
automobile is bound to work-in
Communities tht maintain roads
which permit of such development
'sThis incident of the wide distri-
button Of Fort Scott hats is only
typical of what is happening in al
most every Fort Scott store. The

and north and south, established
largely through the activities of
the Fort Scott chamber OF commerce

to Fort Soft, are paying a thous

More than fifty OF the high school
students went to Syracuse last Fri
day afternoon to see the game. Mr.
Use and Miss Alenius accompanied
them.
The game last Friday turned out
very disastrOusly for the Holly
boys. Syracuse had the edge on
them all during the game. Our
boys fought steadily but were not
able to gain through the Syracuse
line enough to win. After the
game the suits were placed in a
local pool hall and somebody stole
the jerseys and socks.

The school was given holiday
Thursday and Friday, SO that the

THE DEMANDS OF CHARITIES

Many people, when asked to sub
scribe to such public cause as
the Red Cross will make the objec-
tion that they are sick and tired
OF drives" During the war, they
say, there was one long procession
of solicitors asking money for pub
lie causes. and since the war, it has
been about the same.
These people should consider how
comparatively little people do in
personal way for the benefit of
others. Our fathers and mothers
who lived in country towns used
constantly to go out to watch with
sick people, sitting up all night at
ter tiresOme days labor There
were but few nurses then, and most
of the labor OF caring for the sick
WAS done by this volunteer help
People lived closer to the suffering
and the poor in those days, and
when anyone needed assistance,
everyone knew it and took hold to
help
The spirit of hospitality was more
prevalent in those times. Families
would give n home for months and
years to some unfortunate relatives
freely supplying them with food and
clothing. In country towns. people
still gather to the home OF some
sick man, and saw and split his
wOOdpile or get in his crops. And
they do these things gladly, and
find pleasure in serving others.
And yet there are folks who live
in towns and cities who get prouchy
because few times a year some
solicitor comes around for some
charity, which takes the place of
all this intimate and personal SER
vice that people used to offer so
freely.
People in these times are giving
less than the old times used to.
The trouble with many of us is
that we are concentrating our
thoughts on our own advancement
and pleasure. so that appeals for a
kind and generous spirit may not
find us ready to do our part, OF
to enjoy the satisfaction that is
to be found in giving.

THANKSGIVING DAY

The founders of this country be
lieved that God Is managing human
destiny. and that If faithfully obey
ed he would guide and presesve
those of his children who ventured
across the stormy seas into this un
known wilderness And even before
they had gained real foothold
and while their future looked most
ominous, they appointed a day OF
thanksgiving to God.
Now there is the same danger that
our people will forget the Col who
led the fathers, as that some men
who pray with all their hearts when
in some bodily peril, will forget God
when they recover and life seems
smiling. But II this republic is to
endure and be worth preserving. It
must not lose that reliance upon
the divine force that heartened our
forefathers in their hard struggle.
Many nations that forgot God and
his laws in the past have gone down
into the dust, and nothing is left
of their greatness but decaying
ruins.
The American people in their
thOughtless way appoint a holiday
of thanksgiving to God, and then
use it for football games and sport.
ing life. They mean no harm and
they need the relaxation. But 1t
would not hurt them bit to spend
some part Of the day in Thanksgiv.
ing devotions.
Most people, no matter how diff
cult their lot, can see some brighter
side of their life for which in com
mon decency they ought to give
thanks. And as for the nation, 1t
has abundant reason for thankful
ness, that it passed through world
shaking catastrophe with less suf-
tering than other peoples.
And the real Thanksgiving day is
no mere thing Of personal feeling
but 1t seeks out the poor and needy
and makes them share In the gen
eral well being. A Thanksgiving
observance that does nothing for
those who are in doubt whether
they have reason for thankfulness
observes the letter rather than the
spirit of the occasion.
And lot of fellows never owe
any bills for the simple reason that
they can't find anyone to trust

FOOTBALL CLAIMS
10 VICTIMS IN 1921

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-(By the A. P.)--
Football claimed ten victims during
the 1921 season, which closed with
Thanksgiving day games, according to
reports to the Associated Press today.
The death list was three less than
1920, and three above the toll of two
years ago Ten lives were lost as
the result Of games in 1918, twelve in
1917, eighteen in 1916 and fifteen in
1915.
AS In former years the majority of
youths killed were members of high
school teams. The figures apparently
uphold the contention of football ex-
perts that proper training and physi-
cal condition greatly modify the dan
gers of the game only one player Kill
led was member of college eleven.
One was semi-pro player, one
member of a naval team and the re-
