They did their share, their activities were decidd- ly valuable to the nation as a direct; The high price of strawberries id saving a great many people from suffering with strawberry rash this spring. :o: Unless they are blood relatives. two men who own the same mako of motor car are likely to bo pretty good friends. :o:- A seemingly insurmountable ob stacle in the way of trying the ex kaiser is the impossibility of find ing his peers. :o: - Tcrhaps all the president meant by including his wine and beer recommendation was to moisten up an otherwise very dry document. :o: Thomas A. Kdison says we have advanced 2o0 years in the last four. but maybe he has been paying war time rent, and feels as though he must have paid about that far ahead. :o: Returned soldiers say the chief difference between the cootie and the picnic ant is that the ant gen erally leaves as soon as he finds out for sure where he is. but cooties aren't so particular. :o: He never has taken a drink or a There is, however, a slight draw back to Germany's refusal to give up the ex-kaiser for trial. Ger many doesn't have the ex-kaiser. either to keep or give up. :o: Graduation from high school is a great event in a young man's life. In many cases, it marks the time when the young man loses all fear of smoking in view of his dad. :o:- M. E.

Baseball note. Drinks and smokes are only two of the i fii ciency questions? Pie he take tea? :o: There is said to be such a short- ace of newspaper men in the federal prison at Ieavenworth th.it the New Kra. the prison paper, is put out only with the greatest difficulty. Why not turn it into a lawyers journal? :o: Four young men students at Fair mount College consulted a fortune teller recently, and each was told that ho would die young unleK he forsook "all artistic pursuits." As the four voting men had only, re cently formed a male quartet, it is believed here is one fortur.c teller who has rendered the public a real service. ' :o: Hawker, by bis uncalled for re marks about the great achievement of the N'C-4, not only put himself in the poor sport class, but he sep- a rated himself from soirc very fancy American gate receipts. Again It has been demonstrated that the most expensive part of a man's anatomy is not his appendix but his mouth. Chanute Tribune. , :o: The trouble with a lot of men is that they are shanghaied into the wrong job and can never deliver the assignment laid out for them, says the Topeka Capital. They are like the English sparrow, a strict vegetarian who was originally im ported by a New York philanthrop ist to eat the bugs in Central Park. It wasn't the sparrow's fault that he didn't make good. It was the wrong assignment. :o: The latest thing in airplane stories gives a new angle to the sit uation and comes from the Patter son correspondent of the Piedmont Banner, who claims that an air plane carrying a cargo of magnolia blossoms crossed Wayne County recently, loading the air with frag rance which caused million bees in Madden Polk's fifty colonies to forsake their hives en masse and go madly roaring pell mell acrofw the fields in pursuit of the plane. There were enough young bees left to protect the hives, but Mr. Polk had dismal visions of the kind of luscious honey somebody else would gather after the weight of the swarms had brought the plane to earth. "Convert the Fast or prepare to light it; Christianity or the Yellow Peril," a clergyman told the con vention of the diocese of Chicago yesterday. Still, after the recent ex perience, can religion as it is prac ticed be put forward as a preventive of war? :o: We shall all be tickled to death to have a visit from Mr. Lloyd George. But if he wants to come this fall he probably had better net wait for that first meeting of the league of Nations. The senate will only have gotten well into the de bate on it by that time. :o: The Columbus Advocate is amus ed by the extreme caution with which a Cherokee County jury brought in a verdict of mansluagh ter against a man who admitted the homicide. Perhaps, as the To peka Capital suggests, the man's lo cal reputation for veracity was not above question. :o: Secretary Daniels, in retreating from his former position for a big navy, does not however intend to take the present navy with him when he goes out of office, so far as can be learned. He means to be reasonable about it, and permit Uncle Sam to keep the navy he now has. being used for the cross country run from Chicago to Denver made it all right as far as Omaha, w;hen in at tempting to start, ran over and de molished a Ford coupe, burying it in the wreckage of both machines. Wallace Pollard, Ray Clement and Wm. Sutcliffe who had been driv ing the car had left in order to get a oetter view or me mraman s ma chine, were therefore not injured. From the pile of wreckage was dug! up the fliver, which when righted went merrily away to its destina tion, as ir nothing haa nappenea. i "Gabe Sogback cot hold or a notwithstanding the fact that the I drink or two of bone dry licker i top was demolished and the wind-jtuther evening, and went home and shield gone.

Pray ing at the street cars is considered strange procedure in Wichita, where the majority of passengers swear at them. :o:- "We've been looking for the pro bate judge's office to experience a boom since the advent of the tight skirt," confesses Miss Anna Carlson, on the theory that it shouldn't be much of a trick for a man to catch up with a woman who i3 wearing a hobble. "But so far the boom hasn't materialized. Can it be that the rule works both ways and that it is now easier for the men to get away?" -:o:- "I understand that Petunia t3 to have a brass band this summer?" said the patent-churn man. "It ain't settled yet," replied the land lord of the tavern. "We've hired a leader from over at Willersville to instruct the boys, but 'most every practice night he has from one to five fights with euch members as wish to play something elso In preference to the notes set before 'em. If Professor holds out we'll have a band, but there is no telling how long he will last." The present prospect Is for an American wheat crop of more than a billion bushels equaling or ex ceeding the great yield of 19 l he uovernment has guaranteed a base price of two dollars and twenty-six cents a bushel. The present prospect is that it will be a good investment. ,f Roughly speaking it is worth a billion-dollar premium to know thai the United States can raise enough wheat to feed itself and half of Europe. It Is a sign to a distract ed world that at least one ponder ous anchor Is holding. About half of Europe, counting by population, is not getting on very well with the spring seeding. It is too busy pull ing whiskers and gouging eyes. It has got to settle that tremendous problem of the bourgeoise before it can go to work meanwhile de pending on some six or seven mi. lion American bourgeoise in over alls to grubstake it to flour baeon. We cannot see any alarming pros- capital X and beat and mauled him with a wagon spoke till she mighty nigh smashed him flat. A passel of us fellers going by heered the hooraw, and, 'lowing a varmint was killing somebody, went in, and sorter persuaded Mizzus Sogback to turn Gabe loose. She said she had whipped him b'cuz she loved him. I reckon that was all right, but I'm sorter curious to know what she'd a'did to him if sho'd p'tu! hated him." :o: "PASSING THE . BUCK." At last farmers are able to secure the per fected Light and Power. This plant is the Owen. Until the Owen came, farmers had to be content with makeshift units. Crude, too small, expensive to operate. Still many bought these temporary units. They could no longer content themselves with kerosene lamps and the lack of electric power. Many hesitated, waiting for just such a plant as the Owen. Now those who have already bought units are replacing them with this final-type plant. Each day we are receiving or ders from farmers who have been waiting. The Owen's success has been instant. It is a new conception. It offers you betterments such as have never been offered by any other plant. The Owen starts and stops itself. It is completely automatic. No running down to the cellar to turn it on or off. When the batteries are partially discharged, the engine starts automatically. When they are fully charged, "it stops automatically. When you require more current than the batteries should care for, the engine starts automatic ally. Even the lubrication is automatic. Aside from the matchless convenience this automatic control offers, it also multiplies the life of the batteries overcoming costly replacements formerly necessary. As a result the Owen costs you but one fifth as much to operate as other units. It offers you illumination and power at less per candle-power than kerosene lamps. The Owen has a "si lent valve" engine which cannot leak. Compres sion remains perfect. Grinding of valves and scraping of carbon arc unnecessary. It will light as high a5 100 lamps without flick ering. It has more ca pacity for running a water system, chums, cream separators, washing machines, milk ing machines, electric fans, irons and toasters. Dozens of such reasons as this should urge you to know the Owen leiore you decide. Come in and let us explain the many Owen features to you.
