And Furnished By the Help of Red
wood Falls People.
Those who suffer with kidney back
ache, urinary ills or any little kidney
or bladder disorder, want kidney help.
Who can better advise than some Red
wood Falls resident, who has also suf-
fered, but has had relief. Redwood
Falls people recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. Ask your neighbor! Here's
one case and there are many others.
VIM. Field, 342 w. Flynn St., says:
Heavy lifting strained my back and
put my kidneys out of whack. Every
time l bent over, cutting pains dart
ed into the small of my back. My
Kidneys acted too frequently and
sometimes l had to pass the secre-
tons several times in an hour. be-
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, which
I got at Freyer & Knapp's Drug
Store. A few boxes of Doan's rid me
of the pains in my back and my
Kidneys acted naturally again. Doan's

Improving The Bible.

Rev. William Norton Guthrie OF
New York is, the latest divine tc un-
dertake the task of improving the
bible. Rev. Mr.. Guthrie, by the way,
is the clerical gentleman who sought
to uplift the pulpit by having inter-
pretive dances therein. Not salts
fled with the ten commandments,
holding them to be negative, Rev.
Mr.. Guthrie sought to improve them
by putting them into affirmative
form. He succeeded only on writing
about 5000 words, while the COM
mandments he sought to improve con-
tanned only about one-tenth that
number.
And that is one of the many rea-
sons why the bible cannot be improv-

IsInterschooI Sport
a Help or An
Extravaganza

This mans town and every. other
American town at this season Of the
year, and during three of the four
seasons of the year is infested with
too much scholastic sport, and too
little scholastic exercise
In Emporia today and Lyon county,
and we are like other American COM
munities, we are spending something
like, $1,000 a day on education.
And at least half, and very likely
two-thirds of the attention of every
child of school age in this town and
county is conferred not on education,
not on the text, nor the teachers, nor
upon any serious thing that will help
these children understand life.
1t is at the moment enflamed with
a passion to talk, see, and follow
basketball In the autumn the same
passionate interest envelopes football.
In the spring it is baseball.
Now if the students were all get
ting good, wholesome exercise out of
these games it would help a little
Their bodies would improve if their
minds did not grow. But no-preci-
Gus exercise does the average school
child get out of the school sports
He exercises his lungs. He wracks
his brains with useless vanities. He
works up a feverish interest in in
terschool sport which shuts out books
and things of the mind While all the
time the little old thousand dollars a
day which the people are dropping
on the county treasurer's counter for
schools, might as we'll be thrown in
the Neosho river.
| The Kansas Legislature sits up in
Topeka and drones on in it's stupid
daily sessions doing no good to any
one. If it would pass the necessary
appropriation bills and adjourn, Kan
sas would be better state.
| And then in passing the educational
appropriation bills the legislature
| should just add this one five-line
rider: That no intercollegiate games
of athletics could be played by stu
dents in the state schools of higher
education or the state high schools.
With that law every dollar appro-
! priated by the state for education in
Kansas would be multiplied by two.
More than that, secret ballot of
the teachers in the higher educational
institutions, and in the high schools
would show an overwhelming MAORI
I ty against interschool athletic games.
What the schools need is universal
gym work and no competing inter-
school teams.
Let the boys and girls all play all
] the games they care to play in their
own schools. But the interschool con-
tests arouse the contentious, comba-

lions in America to make lot OF

ROGERS FAMILY GATHERING
Communicated

(communicated)
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Clay Rogers
OF Knox, Indiana, who have been Wis.
1tlng friends and relatives in the vi.
! cinity of Mr.. Rogers boyhood home
near Georgetown since July 3, wish
ing to show their appreciation of the
Kindness by which they have been
welcomed, entertained their relatives
to sumptuous dinner at the home
of Mr.. Rogers brother, Curtis S.
Rogers, near Asbury Church, Sun
day, August 9th.
At one-thirty o'clock the guests
were invited to the dining room and
were seated at a table loaded with
all the good things necessary to
make the inner man happy. Rev. R.
Ward Mills invoked a blessing after
which the company did justice to the
many good things provided by Mr..
and Mrs. Rogers.
Members of the family present
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Clay Rog-
ers of Knox, Indiana; Mr.. and Mrs.
Curtis S. Rogers, Mrs. Edward Tyn-
dali and sons, Bryson, Edison, Pres
ton and Marshall; Mr.. and Mrs. Rol-
and c., Rogers and children, Joseph
and Edith, of Hilton, New Jersey;
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Dickerson, Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. L. Short, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. w. Jefferson, Clyde Rog-
ers and Misses Myrtle and Mildred
Jefferson and Gladys Tyndall.
Mr.. Rogers who left Sussex county
fifty-one years ago for what was
then known as the "west," still re-
tains his boyish spirit and he and
his wife know just how to entertain
a group of young folks, as we'll as
people nearer their own ages. All
enjoyed the opportunity of meeting
together on such an occasion and
wish Uncle Henry" and "Aunt Cas-
sic" many more years to enjoy life
and scatter good cheer to others.
One of the things that impresses
Mr.. Rogers very much, is the great
in living conditions
since he has been away. The spa
cious and comfortable homes, the
highly cultivated soil, the great va
riety of crops, the concrete roads,
the thousands of automobiles, and
the general prosperity of the peo-
pie, are hard to reconcile with the |
primitive conditions of half a CEN
tury ago.
