APPOINTS EARL NICHOLS.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Last evening the thirty-seven Doys
who were to go this morning to
Camp Funston, Kansas, were lined
up in the front of the court house
when they reported at five o'clock
and Sheriff Quinton, appointed Mr.
Earl Nichols as the one to have
charge of the company going to
Camp Funston. The listing and al
loting to the different hotels for the
night and giving checks for their
baggage being completed they dis
persed until the time for the ban
quet, which was at the Riley Hotel
at seven o'clock. Many from out
in the county were in with their
sons, brothers and neighbors, to say
the last good byes, as they departed.
We were observing the boys, when
our attention was called to a farmer
out in the county whose boy was
called. The young man twenty-two
years of age, had earned for him
self, a team, and had married and
was farming for himself but staying
at his father's house. Yesterday
morning the father was at the barn,
when the young man came in, and
not knowing that any one was pres
ent, bid good-bye to the team which
he had raised from colts, putting his
arms around their necks and patting
them said "Well I will have to leave,
you just like I have to leave the wife
and baby, so good bye." This
sturdy Id farmer in relating the
incident could not keep the tears
from his eyes, but still he wanted
his son to do what his country call
ed him to give his service for the
same home which he had been mak
ing for his wife and child and all
he loved.

Camp Funston today, and showing
that his heart was in the right
place, he stayed until after the ban
quet in honor of the bojs and with
one of his neighbors, Fred Kunz, re
turned home last night, while two
others who came with them William
Albert ' Kunz, is to go today, and
Joseph Cazemack, a cousin, has ask
ed that he may go also, though he
had not been called, but asked to go
at this time because he would be
with his cousin. William Albert
Kunz. This is a demonstration of
good patriotism.
BUILDING AN OIL DERRICK.
From Wednesday's Daily.
The men who, in this section some

Why Do You Strive for
Quality Products?
Why Not Raise Ordinary Livestock, Ordinary Grain
or Ordinary Fruit?
It costs extra money to start and maintain a herd of blooded
cattle, hogs or sheep.
It takes extra time and care to select quality seed corn as
a basis for a quality crop.
It takes extra money, time and care to start and keep up a
quality fruit orchard.
You could do away with this extra expense by being satis
fied with just ordinary products. Why do you seek quality?
Here is the reason: You pin your
faith to quality because you know
that the extra expense entailed by
the effort for quality is more than
offset by the extra profits that qual
ity products return.
Quality is profitable in what you
raise to sell. It is just as profitable
in what you buy to use.
We have at your service a stock
of highest quality farm implements.
There is nothing of the ordinary in
these implements. Their quality has
