In flavor and crispness, Kellogg's are the most fascinating cereal food you ever put in your mouth! And, you'll prove that to be a fact just as quickly as you try some! Children insist upon Kellogg's, for Kellogg's are never tough or leathery; they're just like they come out of the Kellogg ovens! And, Kellogg flavor appeals to the little folks just as it does to every member of your family! Don't put off this wonder-treat! Order Kellogg's Corn E. S.

L. Renzenberger sold his meat market business to J. B. Pickert who took charge of the shop Tuesday. It has boon just fifteen years since Mr.

Renzenberger started in the meat market, but for the past vear or more his health has failed, and for that reason he disposed of the business. One of our readers told us of the record of Merle Acheson. one of the old Greeley boys who has been gone several Merle is now located at Denver. living at 2558 Lawrence avenue. He is connected with the United States Bank, and is considered one of the big bankers of the West.

He started in the banking business in the Bank of Greeley, later going to work for the Bank Trust Company of Kansas City, and from there went to Denver, where he has made a splendid and substantial record. Ben C. Kratzberg, one of the sons of Mrs. Annie Kratzberg, is located at Bowie, where he has been several years. He" is sheriff of the county in which he lives.

He must have proven an efficient and popular Glenloch Doin's. Rain seems to be the most likely thing discussed in, this neighborhood the last several weeks. All creeks have been overflowing, as. also, quite a number of cellars. There has been some talk among the farmers of this neighborhood of building a telephone line or going onto some lines at small towns around.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Scott, of Westphalia, witnessed the ceremony. Mrs. Scott is a sister of the groom.

The young couple will make iheir home in the state of Washington, and have the best wishes of many friends. Thomas Brownrigg, who has spent the past three months with his daughter at Seguin, returned home Monday. Mr. Brownrigg states that he had a much more enjoyable time than he had when there last winter, due to the fact that he renewed old ac-auaintance and made the acquaintance of many interesting new friends. Mr.

Brownrigg also states that the crops there are held back the same as ours, due to the late frosts and heavy families. Second, The plain violation of the civil service law, which provides that no one in the classified service may be removed except unon a charge in writing, and permitting the accused to reply thereto. It is an unprecedented assault upon the policy and the principle of the civil service system, in which the Republican party has always professed to believe. It is contended that President Harding was clearly within his rights when he ordered these dismissals. To this, Senator Caraway, of Arkansas, who introduced resolutions, one requesting the President to give his reasons, and one for a committee of investigation replied: "The President is not above the law, although, for the argument's sake, I may concede that he may disgrace and remove these men from the service, and they have no legal redress; he may exercise the authority vested in him and override the statute, but in doing so, if he acts without just cause, he will more disgrace himself Li the high office he holds than he will disgrace these humble citizens whose rights to make an honest living he has sought to destroy." Democratic politicians are not disposed to criticize the President if he simply removes Democratic officeholders and replaces them with Republicans, provided the purpose is avowed and it is done openly and legally.

The criticism comes when it is done in a manner that tends to destroy characters and assassinate reputations. The failure to give reasons or file charges was followed by the publication of stories in the press which placed the discharged officials tamp lakes for tomorrow's breakfast!

CORN VltAKES American ex-service men in New Zealand and Denmark have joined together and formed posts of the American Legion.

Harris Happenings. S. R. Kingsolner, of Boulder, was here part of last week, renewing old acquaintances. He lived here a good many years ago, on the farm now occupied by Ivan Dockstader.

E. Culbertson moved to a farm near Northcott last week. C. F. Fulton, T.

N. Mustard and J. E. Lankard were obliged to move their Topeka Capital. Mrs.

Cora G. Lewis, in the Kinsley Graphic, makes a plea for the planting of flowers, and especially zinnias. "Speaking of zinnias," says Mrs. Lewis, "they have the real Kansas spirit. When the hot August days come and people are wilted in body and soul, these flowers adopt Billy Sunday's favorite hymn.

'Brighten the Comer Where You for a regular campaign of good will. They bloom with an energy that is past belief, and bring forth new flowers in brilliant colors, which glorify back yards and garden corners. Be sure and save a place for them where people who pass along the street may enjoy them." To which we wish to add, the zinnia has been so improved that it rivals the dahlia in beauty of color and size of blooms. A number of the very double zinnias may easily be mistaken for dahlias until one takes note of the foliage. under suspicion of various forms of fraud and dishonesty.

Believers in civil service, however and they still number millions of people throughout the country can find no justification for the arbitrary removal of these officials without charges, whatever may have been the motive. Their position is that the departments of the government are either to be run under the civil service merit system or the offices are to be filled by political partisans under the old spoils system, which resulted in the barter and sale of appointments and the worst forms of political corruption until public sentiment was almost unanimous in getting rid of it. The announcement that other bureaus are to be "Hardingized" in a similar manner has produced a panicky feeling in all departments, and the fear that of efficient employes of the merit system will be forced to make way for "Harding men" under a general enthronement of the spoils system, i-esulting in a general impaii-ment of the government service. The morale of the service would necessarily be destroyed if employes felt that they were working for the Republican party instead of the government. Prevent Hog Worms.

Vona KeLsey was quite sick with influenza last week. This pai-t of the county was visited by a violent wind and rain storm last Thursday night and Friday morning. Considerable hail fell in some places, but we have not learned of any damage done by it. At the John Paradise farm, a number of large trees were broken by the wind. Some hedge brush piled in the pasture was blown into and around the yard, and a large carpenter bench standing near the house was completely demolished.

Other smaller articles were scattered about, according to the fancy of the wind, but no really serious damage was done. Mrs. Elizabeth Cooke is quite sick at time of this writing. We learn that Greeley has been supplied with a pastor for this year, which, of course, supplies the Sutton Valley church, also.

That "Bonus." THE dominating idea which has sustained those guiding the activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is expressed in a series of products which have met successfully the severe test of sustained service. The Directors of this Company, realizing that petroleum products are essential to the welfare of the community, are striving constantly to achieve an ideal of practical perfection in every product manufactured and sold by this Company. The result is, that wherever strains are severest, wherever the need is most intense, there will be found products, devised by the experts of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), to meet the conditions and re- lieve the situation. As an example of a product, which bears up under rather spectacular service tests, take Fortnite Long Time Burner Oil for railway signal lamps. Every traveler on the railroad realizes the vital importance of dependable signals.

This dependability rests to a large degree upon the quality of oil used in the lamps. It has been found that wherever conditions are particularly severe Fortnite Long Time Burner Oil has delivered highly satisfactory service. The same ideal of perfection applies to every one of the long list of petroleum products manufactured by this Company, whether the demand for them be large or small. Each of these products has a record of reliability. Each is made to meet the highest standard of quality and this quality is maintained.

This ideal of service to meet severe tests is one basis upon which to estimate the value to the community of the service rendered by this Company. 1 Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave. 2714 Minneapolis Better Way. As was predicted, the house passed the "bonus" bill.

They couldn't do otherwise, and they were perfectly safe two ways in passing it. As far as the bill itself is concerned, that doesn't matter. Any bill, in any form, would have been passed by the house at this time. Yon see, two years ago, just before election time, the house passed another bonus bill. It went to the senate.

It is still there, reposing peacefully in some pigeon-hole. The buck is now passed to the senate. The congressmen can now go on home, as they did two years ago. and tell their constituents that they voted for the bill, and crave soldier support on the appeal. As we pointed out, election time was nearing two years ago when the bill was passed.

Now, another election is nearing. In another two vears, as another election time nears. we presume another bonus bill will be passed by the house, and in four more years, yet another one. It will soon become a matter of house routine Along about There will be an Easter program at the M. E.
