FAR. FAR FROM HOME
Lone "Ginko" :, Tree, Cut Down in
Kansas, City, Kansas

A lone "Ginko" tree, declared by
arborical experts to be one Of the
few growing naturally without trans
plantation outside of China, Japan
or Eastern Asia was cut down in
Kansas City, Kan, the other day to
permit the paving Of a. street.
The ginko tree was found grow
ing near the Missouri river by the
first white settlers who came to
Kansas City, Kansas. Gradually the
city grew till 1t surrounded the tree,
and left it In the middle of street.
When it was decided to pave the
street the tree could not be success
fully transplanted. Petitions by wo-
mems clubs and school children
twice saved It. Then 1t was cut
down. No one processes to know
how this mysterious early settler Of
Kansas first happened to strike root
so far from its native cline.

aYpsIEs PASS THRoUaH TOWN
Some In Rags and Some In Bright
Green Wagons

There appears to be cast even
among gypsies. free and easy
though their life may be. Two
groups have passed through mere
during the past two days.. pA ~
The first group was travelling In q
battered old Ford and truck. Their
camping outfit looked Ill kept and
dirty and there were several tousled
headed little children who scrambled
out as the cars stopped In front or
the court house. Two of the little
girls took fairly bright aluminium
tea kettle to the fountain IN the
court house where one OF them held
It while the other pressed her hand
over the mouth Of te fountain 50 as
to spray the water into the kettle.
It took them some time to I'LL the
vessel by this process and a quaint
picture they made there beside the
fountain, under the trees. Their
long full skirts, great red flowers on
ground of white, blew In the
breeze and tapped around their bare
brown ankles. Their loose blOuses
were of turkey red and their straight
black hair was braided in little thin
braids that reached their shoulders.
The children stood on one Of their
bare feet and then the other as they
cast furtive glances toward the
court house and waited for their
kettle to be filed. Then each took
a drink and off they went to start
again on their journey.
The second group of gypies was
travelling with less modern but much
more tidy equipment than the first
band. They stopped by the post
office during the noon hour. They |
had two big wagons fixed up like
little houses and painted a smooth |
green. Each one had windows on
each side and in the back. AT one
of the back windows sat an aristo-
cratic looking little bull pup. The |
wagons were drawn by sleek teams
of mules and there We're other
horses and two riding ponies tied be-
hind the wagons.
Such were the ROmany bands and
who knows where their queen may
be? 1t is said they will soon gather
for their annual meeting in Ne
braska.

WANTED TO KNOW WHY
Rural Customer Who Chafed Under
Government SIOWness

The war FINANCE Corporation,
| which has loaned out some fifteen
millions to Nebraska cattle feeders
and farmers, has found it impossible
to please all applicants, as may be
inferred from the attached letter. 1t
reads like the productions OF p.o-
fessiona llumorist trying to write
"rube" but it is an actual copy of n
letter in the files of Carl Well, Lin
coin banker, who is one of the COM
mittee that passes on loans. The
Flanagan referred to in the letter
is the ex-president Of the State
Association, now secretary Of War
Finance Corporation for Nebraska.
The letter follows just as written !:
"Why in hell don't you fellows do
something about my loan or answer
my letters. l have written you four
or five times and my wife says
might as well mailed them direct to
the dead letter office for all the good
they do me. Now you fellows get
busy or you can bet your life you
won't get a vote out of this precinct
next election, and you and Flanni-
gan will be back working for some
body who can tell you where to head
in at instead Of setting around them
tables playing golf all the time
while the country is going to hell on
account of just such fellows as you.
my neighbor, August Korcek,
wants me to write in this that you
can change his application on ac-
count of the four calves he has got

can make it read steers and COW

put her out as she died Of old age |
or the hoof and mouth disease which
I wish your outfit had If you don't
do someting about those loans in
stead Of letting the country go to
hell all the time.

Or I am going to get this money or
lot. If you amt say so, and I will

his. II Flanagan writes, tell him :
or me to put his signature ON the
anne side with the date and Dear
'ir' on the other, he will have more

READY FOR THE PRIMARY
County Clerk King Is Arranging the
Ballot

County Clerk King is busy at
present making layout for the new
ballots to be used in the primary
elections August 1. This seems to
be quite job as it is necessary to
arrange the names on the ballots so
that all candidates will have fair
chance to meet the voters.
For instance Jones and Smith each
run for office, Smith must have his
name first on half the ballots and
Jones the other half.
Ballots, for the primary election
will be printed by the Reflector.
