Eiston has a very sore thumb and fears are entertained that blood poison will set THINK MORE SPEND LESS TXHY is it that the average man is worth so much less in money' and property than we have a right to expect him to It isn't because he doesn't make the money, for the average man is industrious and has earned from to $30,000 in the past ten years.

It is because he doesn't give much serious thought to his income or his Serious thought would teach him tle true value of a dollar; then lie would upend carefully and save steadily. That system soon places any man ahead of las fellows.

I PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE Notice Brinkley Bevan's ad. If there is any change in the appearehce'of the this week it is due to the fact VShorty" is no longer with us. We are depending, largely up-oa Wm. Bier for our local news. Ifyoudcm't want it to get into the paper you had better keep it away from Bill.

For one to appreciate Tom McNeil's phrase, "As buisy as a dog full of fleas in fly he needs but to run a country newspaper all by his loaesoine. Last Saturday" at Princeton, Kentucky a mob of about 300 deliberately burned the warehouses of the American Snuff com 1 pany and the Imperial company: destroying the entire buildings and about three hundred thousand pounds of tobacco. Opposition to the trust is supposed to be the reason for the mob's action. Some people do not seem to un derstand why the town does not put in street As a matter of fact such things takes a little time. A tax has been levied for that purpose and the crossings will be comming as soon as the city gets the receits from it.

Victor Girardey came back last week after their household goods. Mr. Girardey does not know at present whether they will locate at Wichita or Kansas City. Our train service is just simp- ly a fright. No freight, no cars, no coal, passengers uncertain and mail trains late or annuled If you pick up a paper from an other town and notice there is but little advertisingyou instinct ively say there is not much do in.

I. C7 Jones of wellsfoud was transacting legal business here this week. Rev. H. T.

Purcell staid over Monday and visited some of. the brothers. He told some jack rabbit stories that were hard to believe, and he offered to prove them too but we toohfit for grant ed and passed it by. Haviland was well represented at the teacher's district convene tion and must have behaved themselves well as no one seemed to know they were in town. Mr.

and Ers W. E. Smith visited at Fowler several days last week. Mrs. Wm.

Corrigan, kvhohas been sick at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Green, improves very slowly. Raymond--and Frank Shuck returned frm their trip to Morton county, recently.

While they both got claims yet they were not so favorably impressed with the country as expected. Will Jkyant was dangerously sick for a short time the first of the week. Jno. Gibbs was in town recent ly looking for a location for his family so they would be conven ient to school, tf- Tuesday morning there was some missunuerstanamg be tween two of the men working on the Scofield ranch and one of them was hit just under the eye with a stone. The man that was hurt came to town and had Dr.

Wesley to dress the wound and then they went to Greensburg to have the other fellow arrested. We predict the trouble has just begun. Wiley Fiske was down from Eswards county Monday doing business with our merchants. Haviland is a good place to trade as well as to live in. Horace Vance is able to be pn the street again since his recent sickness.

John Uraphrey was a little late for Sunday school but was in time for preaching Sunday. Although John lives in Pratt he is more punctual than some that live in Haviland. C. W. Amick, with Henry Davis as helper, is loading cars with corn as fast as they can hall it.

They have several car loads ready sacked over the country th it will be hauled in as soon as tne roads improve. The question that is agitating the minds of the city dads is when does a pup ceasa to be a pup. From present indications the last session of the 59th congress will have to deal with the Negro shape we ever saw them. Some of the boys went coon hunting last Saturday night That they killed something is certain. Did you ever read a good ad and remember it for months afterwards Didn't it make you want to buy something every Then it certainly pays toadver tise.

The Association We are indebtet to D. L. Feas-ter for the following report of the Teachers association at Greensburg last week; The Southwest Katsas Teachers association was held in Greensdurg last Thursday and Friday and not withstanding the bad weather a large i. umber of teachers attended and the meeting was one of the best in the history of the association. One of the best numbers on the program was an illustrated lecture on Improvement of school grouns, by Prof.

Kern of Illinois. Oa thursday night a lecture was given by a representi-tive of the state University which was good. On Friday afternoon an address was given by Hon. J. W.

Davis on Literature as a profession, which was a master production and was well appreciated. The last thing on the program was the declamation contest Friday night and was said to be the best contest in the history of the association. There were sev eral contestants, Edwards county receiving first honors and Kiowa, represented by Miss Lyda V-r pdall, second. The next meeting1 will Be held at Meade, Ruby York who was danger ously sick the first of the week is much batter now and it is hoped she will fully recover. Mr.

L. Whitlow while passing behind his horses Sunday evening was quite painfully kicked. Dr. Wesley was called to stop the flow of blood and since then he has been resting quite well. Harvey and Edwin Fankhous-er.

and L. C. Cooke have been hauling sand recently to prepare a place to put the light plant for the M. E. church; It is to be hoped they will get a place this time that wont be flooded.

The elevators have had plenty of cars recently and they now have room for more corn since loading out their wheat. We are justly proud to imfor our readers that Miss Lida Kendall took second prise in the Gold medal contest at Greensburg during the teacher 's district convention last week.

very long. Mr. I. N. Elledgehad a team of mules to runaway with him last Tuesday, using him up pretty badly.

He was thrown from the wagon, striking on his neck and shoulders. The wagon passed over one ankle and some of the witnesses think his head struck a jst (that had been pre viously broken off) while being dragged by the mules in his effort to stop them. At last account he was resting some easi er and hopes are. entertained for a complete recovery. Shielvy Archibald and family who.

have been visiting relatives are home again, feeling that it is good to be here. Mike Batman, a former resident, but now living north of Greensburg," Was here this week visiting his son and family. He still has a good word, for, HavilajwL ing down In our statement last week that there was on deposit in this county over one thousand dollars for every voter we got our wires crossed. Itfiguersout something over two hurdred, which is big enough. Jv mans actions will often be condemned when he is in adverse circumstances and the same if he is prosperous.

Why? Because we look at him with different eyes. This paper goesto seeral hundred foreign subscribers. Many people here send it to friends and relatives in the east. They do this to show them what kind of a town and country we have got out here. In other words they do it advertise the town and country.

If you are a business man don't you think you should have your name in it? Do you feel right when you pick up your homeaper and do not see the name of your business in it? A paper full of advertising be-; speaks a hustling, prosperous town and community. Besides this, every tkr.e a man sees your ad it is an inritaticn to come to your place of business. If you don't-give the invitation; Lj the other fellow will; and will get him, going, that way. soldier question. As this matteriand friends in Stafford county is being agitated both pro and con it will be a hard matter to settle this satisfactorily to all concerned.

The president has taken his stand and it is our opin ion they will have to come to his.
