very zealous church worker as well.

Were Hard on Father Time
Attorney C. L. Graves and Dr. C.
M. Swab went out last Monday af
ternoon, taking their guns and a
lot of ammunition with them, having
in mind a hunting trip of the kind
you hear talked about. Attorney
Graves claimed he would not shoot
anything larger than a squirrel, but
the medicine man. it is avered never
did shoot anything smaller than a
bear. This we expect is all true,
but we failed to hear of there being
a scarcity of wagons in which to haul
their game home. One thing we do
know and that is they both pounded
that old man with the scythe and an
hour glass over the back and left
him in a dying condition.
Held Farm Bureau Meeting
There was a meeting of the citi
zens of Union and vicinity at the

tended the moving picture, "The
Wolf." at the Gem theatre. The
party returned to Union on the late
Missouri Pacific train.
Will Hold Bazaar and Dinner
The ladies of the Baptist church
are still pushing their preparations
for the coming bazaar and dinner
to be held at the church on Thanks
giving day. The dinner has been an
annual feature with the ladies for a
number of years and this time being
coupled with the Jap bazaar it should
prove doubly attractive. Better go
and see the fine exhibit of articles
offered for sale, purchase some and
partake of a good dinner, as well as
assist a worth cause.
Is Doing a Fine Business
Notice the new ad of Robert AVil
lis. the owner of the Willis garage,
and especially that part of it about
his having accepted the agency for
the new "Baby" Overland, one of
which he has on display in his sales
room here. He is also handling th-?
Oldsmobi'.e and Reo lines in both
cars and trucks, and is selling a
number of each, as well as keeping
three men besides himself busy with
the repair and custom trade that
comes to his place ot business. He
has a good force of competent work
men, every one of whom is a thor
ough mechanic, and who are ever
ready and courteous to attend to the
wants of the public.

Having Trouble with Her Eye
Mrs. Fred Clarke was a visitor in
Omaha a few days ago. where she
had her eye examined by a special
ist, with the expectation of having
a pair of glasses fitted. Upon rigid
examination, however, it" was ascer
tained that while her sight would
be temporarily impaired, a complete
cure could be effected. The spec
ialist prescribed a treatment which
would remove the pressure from the
optic nerve, and thus relieve the
cause of her impaired vision. When
that is accomplished, if the need i
still evident, the fitting of glasses
will be proceeded with, as better re
sults may then be obtained. Dr. Bar
rett is treating Mrs. Clarke for the
present.

Last Tuesday at the high school.

Clarke look after smoothening out
the rest of the streets over the bus

derful improvement is noted.
Waiting for Jlore light
Along with other towns on t he
new electric line. Union is desiriuus
of being provided with tb-ctricity at
an early date, the consumption of
current here being in excess of what
the local plant can satisfy. Often the
street lights have to be turned off
in order to accommodate the busi
ness houses and residences, in which
electric lights are being installed
with amazing rapidity, now that the
town is to be supplied with good, de-
efficient instructor in the public ! pendable lighting service from the
schools, who is gifted with the abil
ity to impart wholesome instruc
tion, the class should continue mak
ing advances in the work of the

Will Reorganize Young People
Miss Bessie LaRue. who is the
president of the Baptist Young
Peoples Union, has called the so
ciety together and will endeavor to
get them all at work again on lines
which will insure permanent growth
of the organization and its prosperity.
There Will be School Saturday
In order to have the remainder of
the week off after Thanksgiving the
schools in Union will be open Satur
day of this week, thereby making up
for Friday of next week, when there
will be no school, the week's work
being over Wednesday night. This
is in accord with the wishes of both
the teachers and pupils. Don't for

of this week.

A few nights aco two citizens of
Union, upon leaving their, stores,
started for home, each going in the
opposite direction, and running intcierv
one another on account of the ex
treme darkness. It is said they felt
the impact of the collision that al
most spoiled the beauty of the two
men. and did spoil for the instant
their usual good nature. An expla
nation and an apology from each
served to adjust the bad fetling and
nature in a short time restored to
them their disfigured good looks, so
everything promises to be lovely if
we can just get the lights installed
and be assured against any further
head-on collisions.
School Gave Entertainment.
The faculty of the I'nion sehoh..
with an earnest desire to accom
plish as much for the city and Mir
rounding community as possible, put
on an excellent program last Friday
evening at the Methodist church.
The matter was a community af
fair and as such was enjoyed by the
numbers of the community at large.
The address by Supt. McDona'd
was fine in that it urged the people
of the community, and especially th"
parents of scholars attending the
Union schools, to give more conside
ration to the welfare of the commun
ity at large and the schools espec
ially. The future prosperity and
stability of the country must b
wrought in the public schools of
today, and with right training th"
younger generation may be brought
up to sttp in and fill the shoes of the
edder ones as they retire from nctiv
work or are called to answer the
summons of that grim reaper, death.
The teachers are putting forth ev-
effort to make the
schools the
one big working fo-ee for good in
the community, and parents should
see that they are rendered every de
sirable assistance to the end that
their work may be even more suc
cessful. i

A Very Scurvy Trick
Some one with malice in their
heart and without fear of human or
divine punishment, proceded to giv?
the electric light engines at Weep
ing Water a treatment of emory
powder, with the result that the
proper working of the machinery was
greatly impeded. Any man who
would do a thing like that is de
serving only of treatment such as
would be meted out to a bolsheviki
or I. W. W. No use to throw grass
at them, better begin with stones.
Jacob Lehman was in Union the
other day and besides telling of the
above trick, told of his son, Harold,
who is still in the navy as a radio
operator, having had a narrow es
cape, while making a dive in the
submarine aboard which he works.
He is in charge of the radio work
on fourteen submarines and is do
ing fine.
"Win My Chum" Campaign
The members of the Epworth
League of the Methodist church arc
putting on an excellent campaign
this week for the increasing of their
membership, and which is known as
the "Win My Chum" movement. The
campaign lasts throughout the en
tire week, and is being entered into
by the members in good zest, antf it

week's campaign they will have ad
