(kafc The Cigarette Habit Because the city boys early get in to the habit of smoking cigarettes, is no reason why our brave country boys should do the same thing. You know who Connie Mack is, and this is what he says: "It is my candid opinion and I have watched very closely the last twelve years or more, that boys at the age of ten to fifteen who have continued smoking cigarettes do not as a rule amount to anything. They are unfit in every way for any kind of work where brains are needed.

No boy or man can expect to succeed in this world to a high position and continue the use of cigarettes." Judge Lindsey, the famous juvenile court judge, of Denver, Colorado, gives his testimony as follows: One of the very worst habits of Christian Minister Endorses Benton Under date of March 1,1916, Rev. Winjen, a Christian minister of Mr. Benton's home county, has the following to say concerning him and his candidacy: To whom it may concern: This is to certify that I have lived on a farm in Decatur county for the past thirteen years. I am a pastor in the Christian church, and have supplied many a pulpit in northwest Kansas. I am well acquainted with Mr.

Otis Benton, now a candidate for Congress from this district. He is an active business man, and has had large experience in caUle, farming and banking. He is a consistent member of the Presbyterian church of Oberlin, and to my certain knowledge has always stood for the highest Christian ideals, prohibition and woman suffrage. He is a liberal man to benevolent objects, and it gives me pleasure, to thus testify in his behalf. He has been a resident of Oberlin and Decatur county for thirty years past, and because of his intimate knowledge and acquaintance with the business interests in this part of Kansas, I consider him one of the best equipped men for the important position of anyone in my acquaintance.

I receive mail at Oberlin, Kansas, R. F. should anyone in this district desire to know anything about Mr. Benton, please address me and I will be glad to answer any communications. Very cordially yours, JOHN WINTJEN.

He was 73 years, 7 months and 25 days old. He came to this country March 23, 1865. He was married to Miss Frances Rickard in Baldwin, Missouri, October 24, 1871. They resided in St. Louis county and Bates county Missouri also Granfield, Kansas before coming to Goodland where they lived until the time of his death.

Mr. Neu was the father of thirteen children, seven boys and six girls, nine of them are living and four having preceded their father into the Beyond. Mr. Neu was born to German Lutheran parents and was educated in the catechetical school and confirmed in the Lutheran church at the age of fourteen years. His faith in Christ as his risen Lord and Savior, and in the Inspired Scriptures as the Word of God was sublime and immovable.

He has been in failing health for over three years, but while he knew that the grim monster death was upon his track, yet he had no fears, and never had a doubt about his future destiny. He knew he belonged to Christ and was just waiting for his summons to cross over and be at rest with his Lord. His characteristic was his fidelity to truth and an unswerving devotion to the principles of honesty and duty. He was a good neighbor, a faithful husband and father and a loyal citizen of his country. The funeral services were held in the Christian church Monday afternoon and were conducted by Rev.

B. A. Channer. The theme of the sermon was: "The Design of God for Human Life," the text was taken from Job 5:25, "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of corn cometh in his season." The thought of the sermon was that God is the great designer of the universe and that he has a design for his children by creation viz. that they shall know the Lord as their God and Father; that they shall live clean, simple lives and thus fulfill their mission and come to the close of this earthly existence like a stalk of corn; that each life should proceed in an ascending scale from glory to glory through the ages to come.

Mr. Neu leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his death. All of these were in attendance at the funeral but one son who could not be present. Interment was made in the Goodland cemetery. We sincerely wish to extend our thanks to the friends and citizens of Goodland for the beautiful flowers sent and the kind assistance rendered during the last sickness and death of our beloved husband and father.

FRANCISKA NEU AND FAMILY. Notice A class of ladies is meeting at 2:00 p. m. Tuesdays and Fridays at my home for'the study of harmony. It is quite desirable that others who are planning to take up this study, or review it, in my class, should begin with the class.

Piano pupils may begin at any time 474t LOIS MURPHY Missionary Sunday, and for the morning hour the audience was entertained by Rev. Peterson who has been a missionary in the Philippines or twelve years. He told many in teresting things about the islands and their inhabitants and showed us a little wooden god or idol and also a dagger which had been given lim by a large native chief, who made it himself and gave it to Mr. Peterson because he liked him so much, and also because he had no use for such weapons after his conversion. At the evening service Miss Hol-and who has been in missionary work in Malaysia, gave us a very in teresting talk on work in the girls school in Malaysia.

She said that one could see all the nationalities of the world dressed in their native costumes by merely spending twenty minutes or half an hour by mere ly standing on the street corner and watching people as they pass in the capital ot the Malay Peninsula. She also stated that the Chinese are the most remarkable race of people In existence on earth today. There was a small attendance present but those who came felt well repaid for their efforts in venturing out in the rain. The Pentecostal service at 2:30 was one of the best we have had lately The cottage prayer meeting at the I Iogeboom residence was well attend ed and everyone present expressed themselves as enjoying the service. The Children's day program will be given next Sunday evening at eight o'clock.

If you enjoy seeing the little tots speak and sing, don't miss this meeting. Republican Candidates for commissioners The Reptblicans have been quiet ly selecting the best men in the par ty as candidates for county commissioners. In the second district E. E. Hartwell, a man who stands well with his neighbors and the vo ters, has been chosen to make the race.

He is a successful farmer and will look well to the interest of the county in every way. In the third district the Repub Means of the west side have thorough ly looked over the situation and their choice was Peter Rosendal. Mr. Rosendal came to Sherman county a decade ago, and taking a bare prairie farm, has demonstrated his business ability by making it one of the best improved farms in the county. His neighbors say: "If Mr' Rosendal can make such a suc- ces of his own business we believe he will be equally efficient in managing county aftairs." With two men of the ability and keen business judgment of Messrs.

Hartwell and Rosendal on the ticket every Republican in the county can conscientiously mark a cross after their names next November. Hart well and Rosendal mean strict ad herence to the law in all mattsrs! and a careful consideration and de liberate judgment upon all matter; requiring business ability.

These judges know that in nearly every case that the drunk en sots who appear before them, a disgrace to their parents, themselves, and the state, began as boys smok-ing cigarettes. One bad habit led to another. The nicotine and poison in the cigarette created an appetite for alcoholic drink. The cigarette habit had not only had a grip upon upon them in boyhood, but it invited all of the other demons of habit to come in and add to the degradation that the cigarette began." "The wreath of cigarette smoke," says Hudson Maxim, "which curls about the head of the growing lad, holds his brain in an iron grip which prevents it from growing and his mind from developing, just as surelv as the iron shoe does the foot of the Chinese girl. In the terrible struggle for survival against the deadly cigar ette smoke.development and growth are sacrificed by Nature, which in the fight for very life itself, must yield up every vital luxury, such as healthy body growth of brain and mind.

If all boys could be made to know that with every breath of cigarette smoke they inhale imbecility and exhale manhood; that they are tapping their arteries as surely, and letting their life's blood out as truly as though their veins and arteries were severed; and that the cigarette is a maker of invalids, criminals and fools not men it ought to deter them some. The yellow finger stain is an emblem of degradation and en slavement." All of which the Farm Journal en dorses, and express the sincere hope that not one of our Farm Journal boys will stain his fingers, scent his breath, or poison his blood by the use of cigarettes, many of which are doped with something even more deleterious than tobacco Pap ought to cut out his cigars and not set a bad example to his boys, Our Boys.

About the Standard Chautauqua The La Crosse, Kansas, Republican, under da'te of Thursday, June 15, 1916, writes: "The chautauqua is a success. It has paid its way financially, as well as other ways. The attendance has been large at each session, and the program has been tip-top.

Too much cannot be said in praise of the Standard Chautauqua. There are several chautauqua companies, La Crosse has tried some of them, but take it from us' the one that has given our people the most and the best for the money is the Standard, and we are glad to say so. The platform manager, Robert Whiston, is a chautauqua within himself. He is a right man in the right place. Miss Davis, who has charge of the Junior Chautauqua, is splendid in that line, and the little tots will remember her as the lovely lady.

We would like to speak of each of the numbers and say all the good things about them they deserve, but will not attempt it for lack of The Modern Prlscilla Club The Modern Priscilla club met at the home of Mrs. Oliver Smith last Friday afternoon.
