E. O. STEWART. land Concert TO CIVEN BY THE Valley Falls Concert Band AT THE OPERA HOUSE Wednesday Evening, MARCH 25 AN EXCELLENT PROCRAM HAS BEEN PREPARED General Admission 15 25 Why Do They Seek to Deceive. We are informed that an old line insurance agent told a prospective member of the Alliance Co-operative Jesurance Co.

that if be insured jo this company be was liable to be as sessed a great amount of money no one could tell how much. Now this old-line agent was a man of over ordinary intelligence and could not easily have been in ignor ance of the fact that he was lying to this farmer who is also 8 man of above the ordinary intelligence and who refused to be deceived. The state law expheitly provides that a patron of a Co-operative compaDy shall under no be liable for MORE THAN THE FACE of his note, which note is never for as great a sum as the old line ies charge for the same amount of protection. Why do you supp se this old line agent sought to deceive this farmer? The A. 0.1.

is strictly a co-operative insurance company furnishing absolute protection to its members at from half to three-fourths the price charged by old line companies whose sole reason for existence is to build up a big fortune for stock- holders. The notes given payment for premiums bear no interest, are ab-0Intely non transferrable and the makers responsibility ends when the face of the note is paid or the time of the insurance expires. Farmers, will you continue to be deceived and charged exorbitant rates when you can get better tection by co-operating with your neighbor farmers? Come in and let us talk it over with you. Its coming next week, the mysteriou8 Blue Box. He Wants a Real Issue.

MR. EDITOR: For 44 years I have paid taxes or rent the year round and at certain seasons of the year waded through the mud of the business streets of Valley Fails. Esch spring 8 new city government is elected on some foolish issue that does no good to anyone. Now, Mr. Editor, I want to gest a real issue for the coming city election.

Let us nominate a mayor and council of good permanent residents of the city--men who have made a success of their own business, who own homes of their own here and take care of them and then elect them on the issue of paving the two business blocks on Broadway. Almost all the rent paid on the street goes out of the town, much of it out of the state, and not a dollar comes back, while we who pay rent and make the said property of value wade the mud whenever there is any. Other towns are improving in this manner, why not Valley Falls? J. R. YOUNG.

The thing I most wish for is a pair of socks that will stand more than one weeks wear. I can never feel the same toward the electric light plant since they have put a light near the gate of a certain young lady's home.

I am a business man and cannot always wait until the plant shuts down to say goodnight. This is to serve notice on the clerks in the women's department at Housh Noble's, that should the editor of this department call, they are not to embarrass him by calling L.is attention to the display in the farther showcase on the north side. I am at a loss to understand why all red haired girls do not wear green waists. The thing about babies which puzzles me most is: if one was to be dropped, whether it would flatten out like a buckwheat cake, or whether it would fly all to pieces like a new meer. chaum pipe.

I trust the girl in black, who sometimes sings in the choir, will take this as a delicate hint that her waist line is fully an inch and three- quarters too low. The only difference I note in the magazines, between this and last year, la the change in styles of corset advertisementa. From 8 wholly disinterested point of view, it does not se that there is to be any sweeping reduction in the price of this season's millinery. A BACHELOR.

He removed the nail and paid little attention to a small thing like that.

L. K. Carnaban of MeLouth was here Wednesday with a load of good apples--selling at 50 cente 8 bushel. Four or five lively little quarrels about town last week and some implements of war made ready for use. This 16 encouraging.

The weather and the roads have been so bad and there has been so much grip-even A quarrel is welcomed. It disturbs the monotony and the dull peace and makes something doing. There is no state oratorical association now. Since the State Normal and Kansas University are excluded because their students are too strong the remaining colleges have no right to use the name. In four years the Normal won four prizes and was shut out because her students were too "mature." Now K.

U. is excluded. Its like a prize fighter refusing to meet any one over 10 years of age yet claiming world championship. Seems Like a Foreboding. Only a few months ago a tomb.
