FIRST NATIONAL BANK
CHANGES MANAGEMENT

The First National Bank of Ellis,
a link in a chain of banks, operated
by C. G. Cochran, the second Oldest
in Ellis, and one of the strongest
banking institutions in Western Kan
sas, changed hands June 22nd.
Negotiations for the purchase of
the bank have been pending for some
time until J. J. Svoboda, of Damar,
and A. w. Desmarteau, of Zurich,
met in conference with the officers
and board of directors, here last
Thursday, when the deal was closed.
J. J. Svoboda and A. w. Desmarteau,
purchasers of the institution, are
men of broad banking experience
and influence in community affairs,
having been closely associated with
the Cochran banking interests at
Zurich and Damar for some time, and
also filled official capacities in bank
ing circles elsewhere.
Both men commented favorably

A LAWYERS DREAM


The other night a lawyer thought,
That he was flying far
Through the sky with fire frought,
To reach a certain star.
While through this fiery sky he
travelled,
1t did not seem to burn;
And at this fact much he marvelled,
Till he the truth did learn.
As he flew along so sprightly,
Toward this starry hold,
The star shown out more brightly,
And just beneath it hung a crown of
gold
As he drew nearer to the place,
Where hung this crown and star,
There appeared a beautiful form and
face,
That stood just within a gate ajar.
This beautiful form in its hand did
hold,
A banner, on which was written, it
seemed,
Truth, in letters bold and of gold,
Alas! He awoke. He'd dreamed.

INTERPRETATION

The pinnacle of fame is the star,
This lawyer thought he'd reached;
And while appearing near; it was al
ways afar,
And has ne'er yet by any been reach
ed.
Yet, it allures man on and on and on,
Through famine, pestilence and war,
While the fiery zeal of ambition,
Keeps just ahead of him, the "Star."

Ants That Eat Flowers.

A new type of ant, large, vicious
and prolific, is playing havoc with the
flower industry of the Italian Riviera,
says the Scientific American. HOrti-

appearance of this pest Immediately
and to take prescribed steps for its
destruction. The ants are supposed
to have been introduced from the Ar

Health IS the most serious object in
life, not only in the obligation chat
involves each individual personally,
but every man, woman and child is
obligated to the community in which
he lives and to posterity.
There are thousands of people IN
every state that are living lives of
misery and suffering from disease.
They would give untold wealth to
be cured.
Only within the last few years has
the average citizen, and for that
matter the majority of physicians,
actually had much faith in the med
ical treatment for chronic diseases.

There will be a Hardware City ! League baseball game at the field to-
 morrow afternoon In conjunction with the meet Prizes will be awarded to
 the winners and the game will wind
 up the day
 The Kaeoys will not play this week
 as no suitable game could be arranged over the weekend The series between
 the Kaceys and corhln teams will
 start newt week on Sunday and this will be one of the best attractions of the season.
 The kaceys seem to be q tavorite In the minds of the majority ot the fans, but nothing is certain about the outcome of the series, because os the individual players on each team. The Corhin team is liable to spring great surprise or the baseball world by taking two out ot three.
 The interest in the meet tomorrow will be centered In the local team and the Bridgeport athletes These two teams are pretty evenly matched and are as friendly In athletics a are cats and dogs. They battled last year In the annual meet tie for nearly the whole of the day and in the final moments, the local team forged ahead and won leg on the silver loving cup offered for the winner
 The local team would like nothing better than to keep the cup in this city another year They are bending every effort to make the fastest time on the track and the greatest dis tances in the jumps They will. If possible keep the cup here II is nec- essary for team to win leg on it three years in succession in order to keep it as permanent trophy.
 A large crowd is going to turn out to witness the event and the bets will be passing back and forth on the out come of the local event.
 Joey Fitzpatrick and Billy Dudack are scheduled to play with the Bethel Bethel registered last Sunday, and gregation tomorrow. Eddie Goeb also will be in the lineup as will Hal Jus tin.
 This quartet was instrumental in a large way for the victory which team into tie for first place with St they are well though of for their base ball ability.
 The Giant sluggers defeated the Aces of Belvidere yesterday by the score of 10 to g, The batteries for the winners were A Harlich and Cs Sor- row and for the losers Hoskey and Peterson.
 Everything is set for the field day of the Connecticut Association of post office clerks to be held at St Mary's field tomorrow afternoon Postmaster l William F. Delaney has received a { of entries for the 100 ward | dash open to the athletes of this city and the event will be one of the best | athletic events staged in his city in many years.

GENE SARAzEN WINS
 FROM E. FRENCH
(Cont!nued from Eighth Page)
Gets Jump With q Birdie"

Gets Jump With "Bird!e"
 Sarasen got the Jump on French or the first half Of the afternoon roune when he collected a birdie" 4 at tho first hole but missed q great chance to add another hole 10 his lead or the third, when French got into a trap on his second, just managed to get out on his third and then putted dead on his fourth, saraZen was on in 2, but putted for the cup for a 3 and overran about six feet. He failed to sink his fourth and got a half on what should have been an easy win for him, French then squared the match on the 5l6 yard fourth hole when he got e birdie against Sarazens 6, the result Of q trapped second shot.
 French trimmed the cup on the fifth hole trying for and had to take half with q 4. His putt on the sixth also failed to drop by the fraction Of an inch and Sara2en went into the lead again when he sank his second putt for par 3 He lost the lead again on the next hole, however, when his drive found q trap and heneeded two
 
 green against Frenchs four and pick ed up. The eighth hole was halved and then sarazen took the lead again with a "birdie" on the ninth
 Sarazen really won the match or the 416-yard tenth hole when, after pulling his drive to the rough, he smashed an iron shot just of the edge of the green while French was finding a trap on his second. Sarazen's pitch was short, but he overcame that hand icap with a twelve-foot putt for a birdie" 4 that gave him the hole and absolute confidence that the match was his.
 . Sarazen Grin Appears
 Going to the eleventh the Sarazen grin began to appear while French's sh houlders semed to drop under the heavy weight that had been placed upon them. French is one of the gamest and most resourceful match players in the country, but he was 2 down and with only to go against one of the greatest players the game has ever known on this side of the Atlantic and the handicap must have seemed too great to overcome.
 Supremely confident of victory Sar- azen won the next hole with a par f. halved the next with when French trimmed the cup in his try for 4 and then got lead of 4 up and to play on the short thirteenth when French found trap on his drive and needed three more shots to hole out. while Sarazen was getting his par with a drive to the green and the regula ation two butts.
 The next two holes were halved with As and the match belonged to Sarazen. When the gallery swarmed around him and lifted him to their shoulders for the triumphal ride to the club house, the Sarazen grin closely assembled new moon. Hora- tio Alger or the owner of Aladdin lamp have nothing on this former caddie boy. who is the new sensation of American golf and the boy is hav- ing several barrels of fun as he plays the part he dreamed of years ago when he trudged over the Apawamis course in the wake of some wild sing | ing duffer who didn't know that his l caddie would someday win three big ! American championships within the | brief space of one year.
