belated was the marriage of Miss

the groom. They have the best

Charles Philpot came in from the
ranch in Custer county on Monday
evening for a few days' visit and to
attend the annual meeting of the
First National Hank. Charley is a
busy boy for his age. He said he
had just finished setting the gate
posts for three gates and hung the
gates before he left, but he couldn't
stay here long as he had the brand-

A number of the members of the
Weeping Water Masonic lodge went
to Kim wood and assisted that body in
degree work. The Elmwood boys
know how to make our boys "loosen
up," so when they arrived they were
seated to a banquet that was not
hard to take. After the work was
completed a lunch was also served
which sent the boys home with pleas
ant thoughts for their neighboring
brothers. Those going were Messrs,
II. A. Crozier. A. E. Marshall. H. A
Doty. Dr. W. H. Tuck. A. E. Barber.

G. E. Young is moving his saw
mill this week from the Charley-
Meyers farm to the Arthur Rough
farm where he will saw a lot of
umber for Mr. Rough for a new
barn. The cotton-wood groves are
producing much of the native lum
ber that is sawed in this way. It
s doubtful if people who planted
these groves realized at the time
what their wonderful growth would
bring about. An interesting case in
connection with this growing of na
ive lumber is the experience of
Henry Haslam. About two years ago
he built a barn for Henry Meyers and
the lumber used was sawed from cot
ton-wood trees which Mr. Haslam
himself had set out years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Snipes, son
Tom and Robert Thomas returned
Monday night from Dearborn, Mo.,
where they had gone to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Snipes and Mr.
Thomas brother. Albert Thomas,
who died in France at a base hos
pital. October 18, 1919. after being
wounded in action on the 9th day of
that month. The remains just ar
rived from France at this time for
burial at his old Missouri home. The
funeral was held from the M. E.
church at Dearborn, Mo., and was
very largely attended. A boyhood
friend preached the sermon; the
president of Park college, (Mo.) gave
a short talk; a quartette from the
college sang; one of his college class
mates came 100 miles to sing a solo
(the class song.) A delegate from
the Masonic lodge in Oklahoma
(where he was a member and en
listed) came to assist the Dearborn
Masonic order in taking charge of
the services at the grave.

a loss of more than $1,500.00 in the

Railroads and Unions Cannot Agree,
According to Latest Advices
Received from Chicago.
The later advices received by the
local labor unions from Chicago
relative to the referendum vote tak
en en the question of a five day week
over the Burlington system, are con
siderable different from the first re-
ports and indicate some slight dif
ferences between the company and
the unions.
The vote as announced was not
against the live day week as was
lirst stated, but desired the matter
assurfed by an agreement from the
railroad company that if the five day
week was adopted there would be no
further layoffs made of the shop em
ployes over the system.
The unions agreed to accept the
live day week if this guarantee of
no further layoff was given. This
the railroad declined to do, claiming
that the condition of work was such
they could not do it.
The result is that the matter has
been left in the air. owing to the
inability of the parties to get together.
