THAT HAT.
(Concluded.)


So then one day
A friend of mine
To the Millinery store
Was vending,
To get "That Hat
She still adored
If there-was
Still depending!
To her surprise
A scream arose,
Before her there
Was standing
Belinda Giles
Who came for miles,
And broad smile
Was wearing.
She took her in
From head to foot,
Twas the dropping brim
She had purchased,
Made up of Hatter's plush,
Of richest shade,
And feathers We're
A flying.
Belinda passed her
With a rush
And surely this
Was trying
She tossed her head
From side to side
There will be
No denying.
Moral"
Now friend of mine
Before too late,
Secure your Hat, 4
Or share her fate. L. w. D.

And, for a fact, rolling

into shape before you can

No Need to Experiment With Abilene

There are many well-advertiset
kidney remedies on the market today
but none so well recommended
none so Abilene recommended as

Read this Abilene case:

years ago I had kidney disorder. The
kidney secretions passed very fire.
quently and were highly colored and
laden with sediment. When passing
them, I had scalding sensation.
That went on for a while until be-
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills and I
am glad to recommend them to any
one troubled that way"

WE LIVE ON MOUNTAIN PEAK
State 0eosogist Says That's Why
Kansas Has Oil


Kansas Has Oil
Although your home is built upon
the Kansas prairie, you may be liv-
ing upon a mountain peak! This Is
the statement Of DR.. Raymond c.
Moore, state 'geologist and head of
the geology department Of the Uni
versity Of Kansas.
A buried mountain in the form Of
granite ridge, Doctor Moore ex-
plains, underlies central Kansas,
and bears a definite relation to the
oil production Of the state. The Oil
deposits lie directly above and on
the TANKS Of the granite ridge, he
states.
Much speculation is current in
attempting to discover the sections
Of the state which contain oil de-
posits," Professor Moore says, "but
the definite location Of the granite
ridge enables the determination of
such deposits more accurately. The
ridge tends to the northeast, start
ing in Kay county, Oklahoma, and
ending in southern Nebraska, north
Of Nemaha county. The ridge is Of
varying depths. At some point 1t Is
less than FIVE hundred feet below
the surface"
The of fields of ElDorado and
Augusta districts, Doctor Moore
points out, overlie the summit of the
depressed granite ridge in Butler
county. The Peabody Nbing and
Florence fields lie on the west flank
If the granite.
Undoubtedly there are undiscov-
,red oil deposits in Kansas" says
Doctor Moore. "It is impossible to
ell how far out from the flank Of
he ridge oil win be found, but de-
,osits are not likely to be found more
han twenty miles away from the
.ranite deposits. Any new fields
will no doubt be found in areas
where the structural relations with
aspect to the granite ridge are eth
r similar to those Of the TlDorado-
augusta fields, or to those Of the
'eabody Elbing and Florence fields"
