FRANK BETZER DEAD The people of this community were startled on Tuesday morning when the word was passed around that Mrs. Frank Betzer was dead. She had been taken to the hospital in Wichita on last Friday and there on Saturday underwent a surgical operation.

She had been in poor health for some time but her condition was not considered critical. Tne announcement, of her death was all unexpected by everyone. Mr. Betzer and their son and daughter-in-law, Wilford Betzer and wife, were with her when death came at Wesley hospital about ten o'clock Monday night. The deceased had been a resident of Comanche county and Coldwater for the past number of years.

The family came here from St. John and lived first on their farm southeast of town, but several years ago built a new home in this city, which they have since occupied. Mrs. Betzer was the mother of five children, all of whom with the husband survive her death. The eldest of the children is Wilford who now lives at Wilmore, and the youngest is a little less than one year old.

She had ever been devoted to her family and spent nearly her entire time in her home. Her death will be a most severe shock to these loved ones, and to her friends and neighbors who had learned to love and respect her for her noble life. The funeral is to be held at the First Christian church, of which the deceased was a faithful member for years, and will be conducted by her pastor, the Rev. J. T.

Wheeler, on Thursday afternoon. The interment will be at Crown Hill cemetery. xttn- CLEAN-UP WEEK NA- STATE FAIR BOOSTERS LOVE, ADVENTURE, Coldwater on Route of Hutchinson TURE STUDY!

On Thursday and Friday afternoons of last week the home of Mrs. Alfred Hall was the scene of two very enjoyable and interesting parties which were given by Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Mary Hull and Miss Belle Davis. The parties were out of the ordinary, especially in the matter of entertainment provided, and the afternoons were spent largely in conversation directed by the hostesses.

Refreshments of Bavarian cream, two kinds of cake and coffee were served. Over one hundred ladies of the town and community were invited for the two days. The train will probably be exactly on time, running the same as a scheduled regular train and everyone should he on hand so that the Hutchinson bunch can give us our vhnvp 0f entertainment prnTam.

If you have your money in the bank, whether it be much or little, it will not burn any holes and it will be there when you need it. Money carried on the person is a temptation to spending.

Money in the bank does not offer this temptation. You may hesitate before writing a check where you would not hesitate to spend if you had the money with ypu.
