The degree work will be conferred in the Consistor Temple in Kansas City the latter part of November at which place Summers has been notified to appear. The conferring of this high Masonic honor on Mr. Sumini rs recalls the fact that there are but few men who have ever held this coveted degree of Masonry in southwest Kansas.

Suits and overcoats both. Snappy belter models for the young fellows looking for tha ultra style. More conservative belters for those who want their style on more mature lines. Every man of every age and every physique can find the Styleplus that will make him look his best. Styleplus are smart clothes for smart men.

They have the style and they give the service. They sell at known prices. The maker attaches a sleeve ticket to each garment, which tells the price. You can be sure the quality maintains the Style-lus reputation for giving exceptional value at the price. Clothes will be more expensive later on.

In the north window is a typical farm ccene, "When the frost is on 1 he Pumpkin, and the fodder's in the shock," with nothing omitted even to the "No Hunting Allowed," sign. A ghost in the background gives a Halloween touch.

Tn the south window is the old witch stirring her boiling caldron, from which comes the fortune of the well dressed woman by her side. At night the window is lighted in such a manner as to make a very wierd scene. The, displays have proved a attraction to passersby and a great deal of favorable comment has been passed on them. The north window is the work of Glenn Meek and the south one Dessie Prints? and Miss Martha Mayes, all of whom have previously proved themselves artists of unusual ability along this line.

Coach Wood lias developed a wonderful delense.

nil while the Liberal boys do nut hope to run up a big score they are confident of keeping (Ireenshurg from crossing their goal line. It will be a good game audi will worth going a long way to see. The Liberal high school Is putting up some liieh class athletics and deserves the support of the limn" people from a patriotic point of view. This Is the big game and it would be mighty appropriate if Hie business men would close up XOTICF. Thflf firemen have experienced considerable trouble and unnecessary hazzard in fighting fires in the past by reason of persons who are not members of the Fire Department coming too close to the fire, and attempting to handle the hose and other equipment.

In order to get the best results, the firemen must not have any obstacles in their way, and all persons must remain at a reasonable distance from the fire, and must refrain from touching or handling any of the equipment wherever it is left by the firemen, unless they are personally reqeusted to do some act. Unless all persons not members of the Fire Department will take. heed of this notice, more drastic action will have to be called upon to enforce the above request. All persons are requested to xe-tend every aid and courtesy to the firemen, but to do nothing unless they are requested, because whatever they would attempt to do without direction, would probably be the wrong thing.
