The bakery has been closed for some time and is an institution that is of great benefit to the coummunity and the people should lend the new management their undivided support to make it a paying business. Geo. W. Davis Dead Bakery Opens Friday George W. Davis, one of the old soldiers of this community died at the William Wakeman home, southwest of Gaylord, last Friday night.

Mr. Davis had lived in that community for about twenty years and was 73 years 'd. He was born in Missouri rved two enlistments in the War. He had been in poor nealth for some time and about a year ago a guardian was appointed by the Osborne county probate court to look after his affairs. Funeral services were held last Sunday and the body was laid to rest in the Alron cemetery.

Horace and Matilda Mad We are still here, and likely to be for many days to come, in Prairie View; are now well quartered regardless of what Bert Headley or Walt the "'me too" reporter, of the Smith Center Pioneer may say in a "fake" -news item about us and our "versatile" wife were going back to Cedar? This is all bumcom; copied by the Phillipsburg Post to give it more circulation, and incidently to help out the Post's sub list in Prairie View. We will not move back to Cedar or any other place, until we pay all our honest debts and fail to make a living in old Prairie View. If these talanted editors will give the news and tend to their own "business" we will ours. H. G.

C. My: Dear Mr. President: Your appeal of recent date received and contents carefully noted. In reply will say we have tried to give the loyal support in the conduct of the war for which you asked. We are therefore sending you, via the election route, seven all-wool-and-a-yardwide Republican congressman and one A No.

1 Senator, postpaid. You are no doubt acquainted with our Senator Curtis who has been voting for you and helping you for some time. We think we can assure you that you will find the new consignment as per sample. You will be sorry to learn of the sad fate of one Connelly. Poor fellow was overtaken by a severe snowstorm November 5th and they haven't so far been able to dig him out.

You will remember him as the fellow who was always underfoot whenever you wanted to take a step forward. Senator Thompson must have been with him for nothing has been heard of him since and our only memory is that racy little autobiography written six years ago. For several weeks he had been around telling the women of Kansas the messages their boys sent from France. They appreciated the little message so much, as the mail has been uncertain lately. He will be disappointed that the railroad men disobeyed your sonin- law's instructions.

Gen. Wood sends regards and he hopes sometime to be able to repay you for "keeping him out of war." You have probably already received the thanks of T. R. for a like favor. We understand you are taking a correspondence course in diplomacy.

We think that method an excellent one for those whose early education was neglected. But we can't approve of your teacner- Kaiser Bill is old ioned and his methods are away out of date. No doubt you have letters from many other states so we will not detain you any longer. Goodnight! -The People of Kansas, G. O.

P. -Pioneer. Prosperity. This country should enjoy its greatest or at least its most general prosperity during the next few years. We'll have some rows of different kinds but the bone heads and the bull heads are sat upon, our difference among ourselves can be settled.

This country owes much to the soldiers who have been over in France. When they return they should find their country humming with business. This is vital and necessary if they are to be assimilated into the channels of trade.

We have a line of Stationery, Books, Toilet Articles, Cut Glass, School Supplies and Jewelry.

A. LEWELLEN Gaylord, The Druggist Kansas OUR STOCK With the commencement of a new year we desire to call your attention to our complete and upto-date line of general merchandise. Our stock is in keeping with the needs of the community and is always complete. C. B.

Woods should bear in mind that the other fellow, taken as a whole is a pretty good fellow. No one class in this country is all bad Some employers are hogs and want the earth. Some of our union laboring men are most unreasonable and vicious and some of our farmers are entirely too selfish. Old human nature crops out indiscriminately in silk socks, overalls and behind the plow. If only the spirit of co-operation could be awakened, it would help much to keep business going, wages high and times good.

Wages will continue high but probably there will be some adjustments. If reports are true some classes of labor such as munition, ship yard and certain mine workers, are receiving too much. At least they are getting more in porpotion than others. Some employers insist when competition again becomes keen that they simply will be unable to pay the high wages of the war period. They declare it will mean bankruptcy for them.

No use crossing bridges before we come to them. Employers should work to maintain wages as high as possible; the employer who takes advantage of returning soldiers and war workers as an excuse to begin hammering down the wage scale while at the same time he is enjoying handsome profits, will be doing an unpatriotic act. Yankee common sense should and must prevail: no one class should be permitted to throw our business machinery out of gear at this time of all times when it should be kept going. -Atchison Globe.

You can do a lot of business for almost nothing by using a want ad. Ernie Casteel and family arrived last Friday from their home near Chenney Center, for a visit with their parents. Ernie has a homestead in that country and says that he has prospered fairly well in the last few years.
