MARION RECORD, MARION, KANSAS RECORD Thursday, February 15, 1917 RECORD PUBLISHING CO HOMER HOCH, Editor and Manager Subscription, $1.50 Per Year. EDIT MEMBER A SOCIALLY NOW WATCH 'EM! One of the principal arguments used against permitting the people to decide whether they wanted a Constitutional Convention was that "all these needed things can be secured by Constitutional amendment or by statute." Now that the plan to let the people decide this question has been killed, we shall witness, of course, a great zeal on the part of certain gentlemen to get "these needed things" done by amendment or statute! Get out your microscopes! Many big cities of the country are trying the city manager plan, with generally splendid showing. But it looks as though the Kansas Legislature is about to deny to Kansas cities the right to try it. For remember, the proposed bill does not force the plan on any city. It merely gives the cities the right to adopt it by a vote of the people.

Why should the cities be denied this opportunity? Had the Dupont power company not spent fifty million dollars last year for improvements in its plant, the stockholders would have fared pretty well. As it was, a dividend of only one hundred per cent was declared! NOTE OF APPRECIATION Mr. John Hett and family desire to express their sincere thanks for the many acts of kindness on the part of many friends in connection with their recent great bereavement, the loss of beloved wife and mother, and especially for the beautiful floral offerings.

The Florence Bulletin tells the following story: "A Western farmer drove into town the other day to get an old fashioned article--a buggy, and the salesman at the implement store showed him one at $90. "Talk about the high cost of living" the farmer grumbled, "I can remember that my father bought a buggy exactly like that for $60 twenty years ago." The salesman remembered the sale too, and he responded quickly, "Your father turned in three hundred bushels of corn to pay for it. Now I'll do better by you than I did by your father. You bring in your three hundred bushels of corn and I'll let you pick out this list:" And the salesman wrote down: One $90 buggy.

One $50 wagon. One $20 suit of clothes. One $20 dress. One $5 baby dress. One $5 crib.

One $3 box of cigars. $2 worth of sugar, $1.50 worth of coffee. $1.00 worth of tea. $40 worth of gasoline. $2.50 worth of lubricating oil.

The total figured $240 the value of the three hundred bushels of corn it had taken to buy the $90 buggy twenty years before. The farmer climbed back into his motor car." IN APPRECIATION We wish to thank our many friends who assisted us in our sorrow. Also for the beautiful flowers which were sent. Mr. G.

LESSON LESSON FOR NEXT SUNDAY FEBRUARY 18 John 4. 43-54. Now after two days he departed thence, and went unto Galilee. For Jesus himself testified that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a acertain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs 1 and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesushad spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. MARION' 'H. S. NOTES Homer Butcher spent Sunday in Lost Springs.
