more than all else to make It a gtaple article of trade and commerce ova 6 large part of the civilized -world ir StjtS WHs I St J X mmm mm WCZfgy The Cedar Where birds sing their lullabys crooning of gladness The Cedar flows on through a land of delight A sinuous sapphlrino stream in the sun light A serpentine ribbon of silver by night On down through the peace of Arcady It ripples Now softly now chanting now roaring it falls To tarry again where tho lush grass is rustling Enraptured nnd thralled by tho birds madrigals Where cattle stand idly in shade that Is drowsy The Cedar is laving Its monotone trill And plover send up through the glint of the sand dunes A resonant cry that is piping and shrill Now parting in half at the sight of an island It girdles the banks of a miniature world Where blithe in a haven of refugo from danger The meadowlanks song to his lady is purled Ah homes of contentment I see thee transcendent Enthroned on the banks by the sweet babbling way The song of the reaper the low of the cattle The rustle of corn and the scent of the hay The turn of the wheel and the slap of the paddle The hue of the corn and the scent of the grist And down through the valley forever un stinting The faithful old river flows on through the mist Ah Cedar of peace and of plenty I love thee I love every bayou and nook by thy side I float with thee ever anon in my fancy Float onward and downward to home on thy tide Let bards sing to sweethearts their sigh ing affection Of honeymoons sweet oer the bounding blue sea But true to the love of my boyhood within me I sing O ye old Cedar river to thee I sing to thee out of the depth of affec tion Straight out from the love of a heart that is true A worshiper now and forever I praise thee And long to be with thee once more with my crew By day I would drift with thee over the riffles And dance with thee ever oer billow and crest And under the stars with the moonlight around me I fain would drift on to thy harbor and rest -- Rag Time Today isnt in it with tomorrow if tomorrow is pay day Worry is always on very friendly terms with imagination To be worth her weight in gold a young woman should be careful that she does not grow too heavy There are a lot of men in this world who go out to the garage look a 3000 automobile in the face kick them selves and wish they could sell it for 750 S Before and After He pressed his suit And had her guessing Theyre married now She does the pressing The Fast Life A friend of mine tells me that they had a most exciting time out at his house yesterday morning His prize lady bull dog had six fluffy little pup pies and his son and heir cut the first tooth Thats going some for one family all right -- Why Oh if a button on a coat Is just the thing by gee Why isnt buttin of a goat Upon our trousers See 0 Rivalry The nightingale dies of shame if an other bird sings sweeter This in tense rivalry is also depicted in my town The residents instead of sing ing raise gardens and woe to him who does not have new potatoes by the Fourth of July G Experience A small boy is a lad But a man is not a ladder He merely grows up wise And oftentimes much sadder -- Loves Eyes When a lover passes on the beauty of another his deduction is apt to be biased Htenr J - r INDIANOLA Silby Ormnn went to Bartloy Tues day S R Smith roturnod home Friday morning from Omaha Albert Norman visited in

peat He was driving over from his ranch on the B6aver and had gotten as far as the canyon this side of J Mallocks place south of town when he noticed tho water rushing down swiftly He thought to cross before the water became too swift only to find that he was in a perilous condition The water came with such force that the buggy was torn away and it went floating down thestreamwhile he held on to the lines and finally succeeded in reaching the shore He has not found his buggy yet GERVER The Childrens Day entertainment was certainly a success as evidenced by the pleasant looks the people wore Mr and Mrs Joe Dodge came up from Marion to be present at Childrens Day exercises As did also a number from Kansas Mrs Davis Mitchell and mother Mrs Margaret Roshong came down from Haigler on 6 Saturday night and are at Al Benjamins Mrs Mitchell will return in a short time but Mrs Ros hong expects to stay We heartily commend the writer of the article in the Tribune entitled Big Leak in the Lid It doesnt seem pos sible that men will destroy their man hood and character in such associations but pity tis tis true Little Sammy Ellis who has been very sick with pneumonia is getting along nicely There is quite a strong movement on foot to purchase the Dodge school house and use it for church purposes There will be a great deal stronger sup port to the movement if the people were satisfied it would be used as a union meeting place and not for any certain denomination and we believe it should be bought in that way Wheat is looking healthier since our series of rains George Lincoln and family were among our visitors at our exercises Sun day Marion Austin Ethel Lant and Sallie Hawkins who are attending McCook normal were out Childrens day Our base ball boys didnt play quite hard enough at Cedar Bluffs Saturday so came home the losers The hardest rain for a number of years fell here Monday afternoon Nearly three inches of water in a very short time In fact it was a veritable cloud burst RED WILLOW This season is very much like that of 1S72 when it rained 20 consecutive nights in June and the wind lightning and heavy reveberations of thunder were startling to those who dwelt in tents The voice of the insurance agent is heard in the land likewise that of the tree peddler also the lightning rod man A Mr Witmer who was around on business unexpectedly found some old friends in Mr and Mrs F C Smith and had a pleasant visit with them William Myers and family were visit ors at Rue Hauxwells on Sunday Leon Smith attended a party at Mr Dows in Indianola on Thursday eve ning being a birthday party on Fred Dow Louis Longnecker had lightning rods put on his house last week n mijy x rr MBBSPMsawgw BARTLEY The nice rains for tho past week havo been n great general benefit and of spe cial benefit to wheat corn and potatoes The only crop injured is some alfalfa that had been cut down when tbo rains began but this will bo more than made up by the large increase of the next crop as result of these rains Wo are very thankful for tho great benefit of these rains Grandma Etherton was visited Wed nesday by many of her friends and was the recipient of appropriato presents on her 82nd birthday anniversary Sho is a Unable and loving old lady who charishes the warm friendship of all who know her It is not presumed oho will have the pleasure of many more of these occasions but it is the wish of the writer that she may enjoy many years of pleasure with her friends For a small man Guy Ritchie is the biggest feeling fellow in our vicinity Its all on account of a 10 pound boy at the home Mother and child getting along nicely Guy convalescent D J Richmond is dipping his sheep this week He has been very successful with his sheep for the last few years Ed Curloe is in Lincoln called there by the dangerous illness of his father Several Bartley folks went to Cam bridge on special train Wednesday to attend the McCook - Cambridge ball game Mrs

other days when they served nearly as many dinners Frontier county holds over Rod Willow this year in having a delegate to each of the national conventions Hon John Gammill to Chicago and RD Logan to Denver Our old friend John Gammill of Frontier ceunty was in Bartley Satur day last on his way to the Republican convention at Chicago He is a dele gate This is right as far as it goes for no man deserves the honor more than John Grammil who has been so true loyal and zealous for the Republican party yet while this honor belongs to him it is only as a flower on tho casket of a friend or a toy balloon given to a boy to solace his fleeting hours Why has he not been rewarded with a plum or pie that would be of benefit to him before these declining years And now as he has grown gray and past the prime of life is given a trip that cost him his fare to Chicago and return and 83 to 810 a day while there People and parties should be grateful DANBURY This locality has had several fine rains
