HOW ABOUT THIS ONE? Many of the Kansas towns are adopting slogans. How would this one do for Mt. Hope? Hope For Mt Hope, with the not cut out of St. Paul's definition of the word Hope. WE NEED FIRE PROTECTION.

For some time our city council has been grappling with the proposition of more adequate fire protection. At the present time we haven't protection enough against fire to put out a partehand will sooner come. or It later seems our to turn us that a town the size of Mt. Hope can and should spend a few hundred dollars along this line. The city is but $725 indebt.

less than $1.25 for each, Feitizen. Don't you think another thousand spent for fire protection would be money well spent? It would lower the insurance rats sufficient i in I three years to pay for the machines. Talk this over with your neighbors and then all get together and urge the council to do something.

YOU ARE WELCOME. W. C. Fauss, PropE A WISE DEAL. Our township board closed the deal the first of the week with the representative of somebody for the sale of $20.000 in stock supposed to be held by them in the Missouri Pacific RailCo.

Our people, like all others, way were unaware of the fact that we owned any railway stock and when we were told that we possessed $20,000 worth of Missouri Pacitic it came as a suprise to all. No one knows who it was sold to, neither do we care, but Greeley township received $4000 in good money for the stock that she diden't know she had. We understand that the township dept of about $1,300 will be paid off and several bonds taken up on our township hall. The board may be censured by some for selling $20,000 for $4,000 but in this case we think they did exactly right as they had no papers showing that they owned anything in this line and it is therefore. just like finding $4,000.

The memorial sermon was rendered by Rev. E. C. Pollard on Sunday morning to a large and appreciative audience at the township Hall. There was plenty of special music and Mr.

Pollard closed his remarks with the reading of a little verse "As' the Flag Goes after which Mrs. Pollard 1 recited in a most able manner, a pretty little poem entitled "After the The Hall was most beautifully decorated with banners, flags, pictures, flowers, festoons, black and white bunting.

We have such a peculiarity. That is, it may seem a little peculiar for us to think our goods are just a little better than the other fellows', and the price a little bit lower. However, we are conservative in our belief. We think we can save you just a little on Suits, Shoes, Shirts, Hats or anything in our entire line, at least enough to merit your. coming.

Below we quote a few of our prices in Children's Furnlshings: Boys' Suits all wool. $4 00 to $5 00. Boys' Suits part Wool. 1 50 to 300 Children's Rompers. to 1 00.

Children's Waists and 25c to 75c Children's Straw Hats. to 75c. Double knee and seat Overalls 50c to 75c BAREFOOT SANDALS. A medium priced line. Calf leather, good sole, fine for summer wear.
