Different members of the associa-
ton admit that little progress is
being made in the sale of stock. but
say that effort in that direction has
practically subsidized owing to a move

can be done, it is said that the bond
ing company and other Chicago in
terests will start the ball to rolling inn
mediately.

chiefly interested in a hotel at the
Tenth street corner have representa-

Of where a man goes or what he does
there is always something to take the
| JOY out of life. He says the trip to
the mountains not only failed to help
| his hay fever, making 1t worse If any
thing. but that running into the tor
rid weather which prevails here al
the present time has spoiled what lit
tie fun he did have on the trip.

from their vacations spent in the
mountains or lake regions in the
north, are really having a fearful time
| They can't understand why they
didn't plan their vacations for the last
of August or during September. or
since they were away. why they didn't
stay week or two longer. Those
coming back now were away while
Kansas was having some particularly
fine summer resort weather. and now
find the temperature hitting the high
places.
This is one of the reasons why Col.
c. L. Mitchell is really sorry for his
wife. Mrs. Mitchell returned home
last Thursday after spending about
six weeks in the north where blankets
were a necessity every night.
