The building is open to visitors during the day and evenings until 10 o'clock. Go in and place your name on the register and by your presence thus show that you have more than a passing interest in the excellent schools of this city. You will be well repaid for the time. From the creditable work of the primary grade to the high school, the drawings, paintings, and various products and artistic creations are marvelous. It took hours, days and months to produce the various things in this exhibit and it took an equal time in instruction and much patience on the part of the painstaking teachers.

It's a training that makes useful men and women of the boys and girls. Ml A 12 to Game. The Savonburg Ball Team, backed by a good company of rooters, motored over Sunday afternoon and took a game from the Humboldt Reds, helping themselves to 12 tallies while the locals got 7. It was the initial game of the season for both teams and errors were the rule rather than the exception. "Old beads" were not working altogether in accord with their whips, and a strong south wind added somewhat to the confusion.

Faster work -will be evidenced from both teams before the season is far advanced.

Attorney R. E. Cullison this week announces in the Union as a candidate for the Republican nomination for county attorney. By way of introduction to those of our readers who are not personally acquainted with Mr. Cullison, we print the following from the LaHarpe Journal: R.

E. Cullison of lola is seeking the Republican nomination for county attorney of Allen county. Mr. Cullison was raised pretty much all over southeastern Kansas, his father, a Methodist minister now pastor at Gas, having been stationed at various points, under the rules of the Methodist church, while Bob was arriving at years of discretion. Cullison graduated at the College of Emporia in 1899.

He won the college oratorical contest in 1897, getting five out of six firsts, with four persons entered. In 1898 he represented Emporia College in the state oratorical contest taking first place in thought and composition, with nine colleges and universities competing. He took the law course in Kansas Universitv and began the practice of law in lola in 1901. While city attorney of lola for two years Mr. Cullison made a fine showing, losing but eight of the forty-nine leases in which the city was- party during his term.

Mr. Cullison is a persistent worker and has been very successful in build ing up a fine law practice. For some years he has been a member of the law firm, Bennett Cullison. Cullison is no weakling but has ever publicly shown the courage of his convictions. He is not subject to being either flattered or bullied and has the reputation of formulating his own judgments.

He is fitted by ability and experience to properly discharge the duties of county attorney, has the character and backbone to properly run the office and will enforce the laws- including the prohibitory law if elect ed. Touring Texas. Wm. Bailey, Joe Shellman, LanK ence Clay and C. Baldwin left Tuesday on a several days' trip through Texas and old Mexico.

Joining Mr. E. N. Gates at lola dis trict manager of the Star Land the party went to Kansas City and took the Frisco to Houston. Important Texas points will be visited, and the itinerary includes a seventy-five mile auto ride through the Rio Grande Valley; Places of note in Old Mexico will be visited.

At Mission, Texas, Mr Bailey has purchased some fertile land and, there's no telling maybe the other tourists will invest, too. That particular spot in Texas looks good to Mr. Bailey and he is happy enough over his recent purchase. With a clear conscience, keen enthusiasm and good management he expects to some day make trucking in Texas yield profits. As for the climate, it's the best out of doors, and he recommends it for the writer and other "thin" people.

Here's wishing the excursionists a pleasant and profitable trip. They will start home Sunday night and probably arrive in Humboldt Tuesday or Wednesday. Notice to Water Consumers.
