KN 10c and 15e 1 ass a Deal 1 1 A IN! ERG AN Ml Although the crops for the year of 1913 in Kiowa county will fall short of coming up to the standard usually found here, the merchants of MuliinvilIe bought large, fine stocks of goods for the fall trade. They know that Kiowa county people are not the kind to become discouraged over one unusually poor crop year, but rather the kind that will make the following year an exceptionally good one'to make up for the loss. Kiowa county people are far from beicg poor, and her many banks show a record that can be equaled by but few counties in the country. That is why Mullinville irerchants have filled their stores with all that i1- Dest in all lines of is erchandise because they know the people of Kiowa county and the surrounding territory insist on and must have the best that is obtainable. Mullinville merchants want your trade on the basis that they can support you with as good goods as can be purchased anywhere in the country and at prices consistant NOTICE SPORTS.

The MullinvilleGun Club will meet at the township hall, Monday evening, Oct. 6, 1913. Some new business to consider. New member to be taken in. All old members, and' those knowing themselves to be applicants are requested to be present.

T. Abbott. Vice Pres. It is raining nicely now, and in consequence, need will follow. Gum Boots, Overshoes and Rubbers will be needed.

We have plenty of them. Our new line of Fall Caps and Hats are now in and we have some dandies. Shoes, Star Brand and Sunflowers in the best Styles and Shapes, for Fall Tan, Gun-Metal and Kangaroos. McCall's Magazines for October are now in. 5c thejCopy.

After October 1, We Close at C-A LL'S A 1 i Yours For wm R. tS Everything to Eat or Wear a- I Bryan's 111 Phone i i js raimng mceiy now, auu I and at least once each month must have' same hauled to city limits or burned or buried. The city authorities have decided to have teams do this hauling if'people will only pile up the trash and put it in alleys, where it can be obtained easily. Remember time the wagons start and have your rubbish ready for them." Why cannot Mullinville have a clean-up day? Although we have no municipal orginization, we can use the same plan mentioned above, used at Caney, Kansas. We can set a date for this cleanup day, and the merchants can hire the drays to haul the trash away.

Let everyone in town clean up their premises- and have the trash ready to be hauled off on that day. The expense would be very light if all the business men would contribute to dray hire. The News will be glad to bear its part of the expense. Let us hear from you merchants in regard to this matter, and we will name the date in next week's paper. LARGE ATTENDANCE AT A There are more boys than girls in the enrollment at the- State Agricultural College, according to President Waters, who says that a bad crop season always has this effect.

The increase in- attendance will send the enrollment past the 3,000 mark for the year. Judging from the the increase of new attendance the total for the year will be close to 3,200, breaking all former records. CARD OF THANKS. We take this means to thank all who attended bur father and grandfather; H.W. Hodges in his recent sickness and death, and extend our-heartfelt gratitude to all for their -kind words of sympathy, comfort and condolence.

The Children and Grandchildren. M. T. Bryan. i pThe wheat from our county look 1st.

and 2nd. prize and 3rd. place at the State Fair at Hutchinson and Kiowa county also took 1st. prize in fancy-work. The wheat was exhibited by Representative Wacker and the 1st.

prize wheat was raised by J. A. Sherer south of Mullinville. Just what this wheat would have made per acre could not be computed because of the misfortune of having part of it burned while threshing when the separator caught fire. The 2nd.

prize wheat was raised by Don Rose, of north of this city-Kiowa county also furnished the wheat that was 3rd. in line, there being no 3rd. prize. Gerhard Dirks raised this wheat south of town on the hard land. Mrs.

Omir Line is- the creator of the finest piece of Taney work on exhibition which proves that es-thetically and practically Kiowa county stands at the top looking down. I H. F. Stewart, son of H. E.

Stew-( art, attended the fair at the states expense, having won this privilege I by winning previously at the County Boy's Corn Contest and he being qualified there' to represent this county at the State Corn Contest later. The prize wheat was grown on summer fallow dark -land while the 2nd. prize grain came from the sandy soil. The outcome of these decissions at the State Fair have an interest ing significance. They indicate that the drouth can cut our yield but did not effect the quality materially It leaves Kiowa with the first three places in wheat growing in a state that raises the best wheat in the world.

Commission took evidence for the purpose 'of ascertaining the real cause o4he wreck in which fifty or more people were more or less in jured on the Rock Island near Man hattan a week earlier.
