BARBER COUNTY IrlBSX, MEDICINE LODGE, KANSAS. HAZELTON ITEMS Sunday morning Hazelton was visited by another fairly good rain that will do wonders toward fixing the fall pastures in this locality, and in giving the nearly sown wheat a good start. We notice on the road between Hazelton and Medicine Lodge that a Jot of the farmers are cutting their corn fodder and are going to have a lot of rough feed for their stock the coming winter. Pf estorr route car- anr" then he wil he wondering what it wuf that hit h.wi. Mr.

Alexander havitig resigned, it was necessary to fill the vacancy, and ISIr. Field was absolutely drafted for the plape, and a Ktter mni for this could not be found in the county and you might just as well write it down mat Seward I Field will be the next representative from Barber county. For some time there has been con-siderablecomplaint about the Russian thistle around here, but as we were going to the Lodge Saturday we noticed that many farmers have a great many of them, and that they are getting a miorhty good start in rier on one of the routes out of Sha Barber county. We concluded that so i long as the farmers are willing to let MULE CREEK ITEMS It looks like rain a great deal of the time, and Kansas people are great to live on prospects, so we are getting along fine. Will; Root left Friday afternoon for Friends University, at.

Wichita, where he will enter college this winter. Mrs. Wilson and three children will stay in Medicnie Lodge this winter from Monday until Friday evening of each week, so the children can attend school. Bertha and Harleywill be in high school and Fred is in the sixth, grade. r0 Oda and Ollie Root and Mary Lass well started to high school in '-Medicine Lddge Monday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Carl Riepe and family came in Wednesday afternoon from Freedom, Oklahoma with their household goods. Thursday m6rning they went to Belvidere, where Carl is going to teach school this winter. The many friends of Miss Elsie Riepe were quite surprised to receive the announcement of her marriage to Leonard Goff, of Medicine Lodge, last week at 'Altamont, Kansas.

We understand that a double wedding took her sister, married also. Misses Chloe Harmon and Gene McLain went to Medicine Lodge last Tuesday and attended the teachers meeting. MissChloe Harmon let the last of the. week for her school near Isabel. Miss Abbie McNicholas, who has been visiting the past month at he them have a free hand in their fields that it would not be long till we all would have a good stand of them, and that it would be almost useless for one person to attempt to get rid of them so long as many do not.

It will require a united effort on the part of the farmers to stop the spread of weed and this is going to be hard to get, as the farmers are not disposed to unite on anything. Each one has his own ideas about his farm work, and he doesn't, as a rule, give a cent for the "opinion of any other living man. So it looks like the thistle would have a real good time spreading over the country. J. C.

Jenkins is the legally appointed marshal of the city of Hazelton, and has been for some time. The fellows that get full or get outside the bounds of the law have apparently got it in for the marshal and if he attempts to make an arrest they treat him with all sorts of contempt and it has got so that instead of backing up the marshal, as the people ought to do, they call for the constable to attend to the business that should be-attended to by the marshal. Now we don't believe nor never have, that the man that is breaking the law has any right to say "who shall arrest him nor do we believe the citizens are doing their duty tdward their marshal when they admit by implication at least that the violator of the law is right, and simply let them ignore the marshal, arid afterward crow over the fact that the city marshal could not arrest them. It looks to us as though we who believe in enforcing the law ought to give those fellows to under-sjtand that so Jong as Mr. Jenkins is marshal that we are going to see that he makes the arrest and that we are not going to humiliate him by calling in the constable to do his work.

If we are not going to do this, then why not say we don't need a marshal and let Mr. Jenkins out? For so long as he holds the office he is blamed for every infraction of the law, and is blamed for not doing his duty when we have all got to admit that if he had the same amount of backing, and assurance that is given the constable, he could and would do the work as well. We do not mean by this that we o-rr nrrnnsino thf mn Stable in his A friend of mine bought a lawn mower. I forget what he paid, but it was the cheapest he could find He cut his lawn twice, then took the lawn mower to the repair shop. Every time he finished mowing the gras3 the cheap machine had to go back to the repair shop to be sharpened or tuned.

"That's the most expensive lawn mower. I ever owned" he told me oiie dav. He had learned the lesson I've been trying to teach people about motor cars. And that lesson is the cheapest car is often the most expensive. It pays enormously to pay a little more.

By paying $1090 for a Chalmers, for example, you get a five-year car. A car that will do everything you expect of it for at least five years. And at the end of that time it will be in fair condition. The motor it's the famous 3 iOOr.p.m. It will never worry you.

Never cause you to lose your temper. For it has been tested in the hands of 30,000 owners and found 99.21 percent perfect. Caution Don't take the cheap-lav si mower attitude in buying motor cars. J. M.

CR0USE, Agent Medicine Lodge, Kansas ron has given up -his job and gone Xxsi South t)akota to. aecept a position in-' the Indian service. Jesse Webb "lost a good work animal last 'week, and this leaves him with but one work horse. Kathef a hard stroke when work is so abundant. F.

G. McLain has bought the garage tools that formerly belonged to Chas. H. Stewart and is going to push the business for all there is in it, and it's our guess that F. G.

will do it go about right. A short time ago Hugh Shannon quit farming and went to Wichita to learn the barber trade, and he is now back in Hazelton raking the stubble off the faces of his former friends. About all, so far as we know, of the many who went to Colorado during the summer have now returned to Hazelton and are taking a rest after their laborious campaign and we poor mortals that couldn't get away were all rested up when the weather turned cool and were ready for business. The rain Sunday morning had a tendency to cut down the attendance at Sunday school and church but so long as we can have as nice a shower as that one was we are willing to let the attendance run down for a Sunday or two. It's a mighty acceptable excuse.

C. F. Ware has been laid off from work the past several days on account of a felon on one of his hands and while he can't work in this condition he says he has excellent company nights, -such that he can't bear the thought of going to sleep and leaving to itself. The automobile businjss "sorter" dropped off last -week and so far as we know only six cars were sold to Hazelton people, but now that the strike has been knocked in the head we are expecting the trade will be this week. E.

L. Seaman. of Guymonj, Oklahoma, spent part of week renewing old acquaintances in this locality. Mr. Seaman reports everything in a flourfshing condition in his part of Oklahoma and is well pleased with his new home.

One day last week some eight or ten of the live business men of Inger-soll, Oklahoma, were in Hazelton to get some idea of how we got our business street in such fine condition. They went home convinced that the Hazelton people know how to make a good street, and for the least outlay of cash. E. B. Fullerton came in from Elkhart one day last week and stopped over night with home folks.

Eb reports everything in nice shape out west and seems pretty well pleased with the outlook. Dr. Stallard has a force of men and teams moving his stock of drugs back frcm Kiowa, and will soon be doing business at the old stand. We don't think the Dr. got much out of the move to Kiowa except the experience and that ought to be worth considerable.

A. H. Elgin is figuring on building a fine residence on his farm a half mile south of town, and if he builds, it will be of brick. Mr. Elgin 7 has fine building on that location and a fine buiding on that location would show off for p.

good many miles. We want it fully understood right County Clerk Walter S. accompanied by C. C. Painter of The Index, on their overland to Hardtner were in the city a short time Wednesday.

Mr. Gant is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for re-election as county clerk. He has filled the office a term or two giving entire satisfaction to the people. Mr. Gant is well qualified for the office, being a good scribe and accountant, punctual and correct in his work and accommodating to all who have business in the county clerk's He is a good and efficient public officer and his many friends throughout the county expect to see him retained in the office for another term.
