Sixth District NelUs Notes
Items and "reminiscences by An Old Timer With His
Ear to the Grass Roots.
BY HARRY ROOT.

There are four newspapers printed
in Norton, the third largest town in
the Big Sixth district. The merchants
of the town put on trade day special
and it is said they went to an outside
town to get the printing done. They
all entered a vigorous kick against
such action on the part of the Nor
ton merchants. Maj. John w. Con-
way, in his Norton Champion, says:
Farmers complain to us every week
because of lack of competition among
Norton stores. Almena, Oronoque,
Norcatur, CLAYTON, Reager, Edmond,
farm products than Norton and charge
less for their merchandise
A late census gives Goodland a
population of 3,05S, an increase of 354
over the returns in 1921. Total pop
ulation of Sherman county, 6,O94, a
gain of 365 over the preceding year
Total acreage sown in winter and
spring wheat, 1885 In 1921 the
total acreage was 1901. Encourag-
ing reports come from Sherman
county for a fine yield.
Mr.. and Mrs James slaven of
Mitchell county, have lived to cele-
brate their fiftieth marriage anniver-
sary. They were marriRd in Cawker
City, May 1 5, 1872 He served four
years in the Civil war, arriving in
Mitchell county in September, 1870.
They have lived on the same home
stead, the original house being built
of cottonwood lumber, sawed at the
mill in Glen Elder at the time and
hauled off by OK teams An incident
of the wedding Mr.. Slaven will not for
get, is he borrowed the shirt he was
married in. The happy couple are the
parents of ten children. In addition to
the family IS of their grandchildren
were present at the golden wedding.
The pioneer years of drouth and grass
hOpperS they passed thru in their
Mitchell county farm home bore good
fruit to them when good times finally
came to them. and years of prosperity
and plenty followed. Mr.. Slaven is
now numbered among the substantial
and well to do farmers of Walnut
Greek township.
The Oakley Shriners are taking the
initiative in putting on a mammoth

The political announcement of Hays
B. White for congress appeared in the
Big Sixth district papers this week.
One of them reads as follows: j

the nomination as congressman from

the Sixth district of Kansas on the
Republican ticket If nominated and
elected 1 expect in the future as in
the past to give my best efforts for
the good of the people of the district"
So far there is only one Republican
candidate in the field against White,
Senator John NJ. Gray, of Phillips
county. He has made an active cam
paign and visited and spoke in most
of the counties. His announcement
appears in all the Republican papers
one of the active Democrats of
Lincoln county sends the Sixth dis
trict department the following:
while there have been several
Democrats considered as candidates
for congress from the Big Sixth dis
trict Lincoln county thinks that the
most logical man lives at Lincoln. The
Rev NJ Salts is a real Democrat, and
stands on platform that is con-
sistent with the principles of the
and is well prepared to fight for the
Kansas farmer. At this time he is
the editor of the Lincoln Sentinel, and
is pastor of the Christian church of
that place. While he has not decided
to enter the race he is seriously con-
sidering it, and in case no other ac-
tive candidate enters the race and
makes a strong campaign. he might
decide to shy his hat in with all the
force at his command"
The subscribers can always find
something good if they are readers of
the Norcatur Dispatch. Here is one
of the items: Why all this ado over
the Nebraska pig that was born with
only two legs. Every community has
them, and Norcatur had them long
ago.-Another item in the same paper
reads: The Norcatur man shouldn't
criticise women's clothes. They
should pay for them like men-An-
other item almost got the notary pub
lie in a. hot box, and reads as follows:
A young married couple of Norcatur
appeared before the notary to make
some legal papers effective. The
year-old child with them came in for
considerable attention, and the notary
fixing his pen to the document turned
to the lady and said; Lets see. this
is the fourth child, isn't it?" TT is
not, sir, we have only been married
two years. the astonished lady re
piled, and then she turned rosy red
Another item reads: The Norcatur
city folks say the country people are
slow, but just the same they don't
chase themselves all out of breath
grabbing on to the latest fads going.
The women of the Big Sixth district
are receiving handsome bouquets in
matters of interest. Mrs. Alice d.
Keys. of Beloit, was highly honored
in the session of the Kansas State
Chapter of p E; o. Sisterhood when
the delegates selected her for presi-
dent. The order has 81 lodges in the
state with a total membership of
1852. HOxie also comes in nicely in
the election of Mrs. A. J. Mowry,
president of the Ladies' Auxiliary of
the American Legion, of the Sixth dis
trict at their meeting recently held
at Hays.

The SORDID DOLLAR

THE sordid dollar we worship"
Such is the charge made by ignorant
people of other lands and by soured,
disloyal people of our own land. Wor-

Boating on Soldier Creek
There is a little dream in which the
members Of the club indulge, and
which they mean to crystalline into
accomplishment as they have crystal
lized others of their dreams-and that
is boating on Soldier creek, from Gar
field park to the state boys indus
trial school
In connection with the grading and
raising Of the park, they hope to build
a four-foot dam in the creek itself,
which would give } body of water Of
fering opportunity for boating-some-
thing Topeka lacks at the present

vanced that we are ready TO finance
it now. and we believe we will have no

A meeting of the board of directors
is always held before the regular
meeting of the membership. which
occurs on the first and fourth Tues
day evening OF each month At the
directors meeting, detail matters and
routine are cleared away, so that
there is opportunity for an entertain
ment program at the membership

At the meetings of the membership
there are music. some other social
features, and usually an address by
some out of town man or expert in
some single line of endeavor in which
the club is interested.

CRITICISM AND ADVICE.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Cor ner: I would like to. say a few words ifsI may of what others say about us. The letter written on the criticism of others about what one wears and does, etc, gives much thought and some times unkind feelings Now if one has clothes given ore to wear that one cannot af- ford to buy, take them and wear them. Don't mind or give ai thought of what one may think or say, unless one sees some one else he thinks needs them more than he.
 Then the advice about being wastefA "a great many times it is done by many who do not intend to be wasteful, but who do not think, and many times young heusekeepers and home makers have not had the advice and experience of older ones Many have lost their mothers; while young, others have worked in diff ferent places to earn their living so know nothing of economy and other things so useful and learn by experience after many failures. So the kind, thoughtful advice of some one is a great help. We may read such letter and stop and think. Am I doing the best I can and twill this be assfelp to me-, If one is very careful and knows how tJ plan, etc. then they do not need the ad- vice.

WHERE WE o4y HEIP

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: What terrible times are we living in The world was never as bad as 1t is to- day !"
 Were hearing this on every hand. Is It true? "The good old days"-how some of us wish them back.
 But turn to the pages of history ard search them. What awful nisaries were suffered, what terrible crimes committed !! Masquerading, some of them, under the cloak of patriotism or religion, they were none the less horrible. In the fifteenth eeneury Sir Thomas Mallory, a worthy knight, thought that he was living in evil times.
 Nowadays men cannot even love a cause seven nights. There b no hener, no stability he wrote. Centuries before that the preacher" of Ecelesiastas was bemoaning, Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" and declaring, T have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and vexatien of spirit''
 There is much that Is wrong in the world today. No one can deny it. There is great lack of business honesty. person. al purity, national unselfshness. But there is also much that is fine. much that is uplifting. much that is high-minded, unselfish and pure. T he pessinaist who insists that we are soon to follow the fate of former civilizations may he right-or he may not be- But we and our children have to live in the present. We cannot borrow the surroundings of the past nor can we f1leb from the future. If the present is evil we have helped make it so And there is l always the chance to better it-in our own lives. Bemoaning the past will nev- CT help-lving the present wisely may. Anyway, it's worth trying.

about us. I have heard folks say they do not need to join a church because, look at So and so. I would not do some things they do and can live good enough without belonging to a church. Now the church is to help folks to live on a higher plane and to do right. Like the stairs, one may say they do not need them and climb up some other way, but they were built to help folks to get up. No person may be looked up to as a per- feet example. Only one is for our ex- ample and He is our Saviour. know of some, who, because of persons that spoke and prayed in prayer meeting, and who lived not as they should hindered others from speaking and made others doubt and hinder the work of the church. Now that was not the fault of the church but that person who did those things has to bear his blame. We cannot look at any one and follow their ways, but look to God and follow His teachings and. the Book as near as we can by His help.
 We should each do as we think He would have us do. No matter what we do or how some one will criticise us and talk. They say. What do they say? Let them say.
 Best wishes to all.
