THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1932. Local Happenings Local Happenings THE STANDARD, AXTELL, KANSAS. Protection Prosperity Absolute Safety Liberal Treatment Prompt Service Independence "The audience liked Axtell's progam though a new public address system, recently purchased by Axtell, could not be brought into proper adjustment." Courier-Tribune comment on the Axtell Booster trip to Seneca. Something wrong with your ears, Br'r George. This writer wasn't there but all Boosters report that the system worked fine.

It certainly did work good everywhere the Boosters went the following trips when the writer went along. 1 What might have been a serious mishap befell three charming young ladies of this vicinity recently. Arminda Bowhay, Lucile Billingsley and Helen Stueve one day felt like taking a ride with pony and cart. The pony was a gentle animal but rather young and when the girls raised a multitude-colored umbrella to guard against the sun, their steed took fright and galloped away. An uneven pull at the lines caused a smash-up against a tree that stood handy, stopping the runaway and spilling the fair riders, who were all more or less bruised as a result.

But as no bones were broken and the bruises have healed by this time, their only regret is that the cart was a total wreck, for broken carts don't heal like a skinned knee.

B. Campbell, Marysville. AXTELL Local Happenings A novel advertising stunt was that of Jack Nester Democratic candidate for sheriff, who made a tour of the county Monday, stopping at Axtell for dinner. He carried a broadcast system on his Hudson 8, dispersing sweet music together with his political announcements in behalf of his candidacy. He was accompanied by Wm.

Ware, Marysville baker, and Raymond Ellenbecker, who handled the music. Stopping in front of the Standard office Jack -proceeded to give a nice concert and punctuated the same with his announcements. The rainy weather last Saturday caused many a one to wish that the Burton billiard hall was open to the public. As a meeting place for kindred spirits the hall has no substitute in town. Mr.

and Mrs. George Christen-sen and children, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Anderson and son Billy, spent Sunday with the former's mother, Mrs. H.

C. Chris-tensen, at Horton. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Riffer and children, accompanied by their nephew, Lewis Weinberg, visited Sunday at Troy with her parents, Mr.

GOCKEL Baileyville, Kansas. Local Happenings Basket weavers and flower makers chase each other these days. Hardly a week passes but some family stops at the city park for a few days, sends the children around town with their wares and pull out for pastures new. One just can't buy a basket each time a hungry voice pleads for a sale, altho often the goods are worth the money. Mrs.

Theresa Montgomery and daughter Irene returned from Kansas City Saturday and were accompanied home by Mrs. W. Redmond and son Vincent who remained until Sunday. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a most interesting description of Miss Harriet Sharpe's trip to the East. The Standard greatly appreciates her contribution.

Mrs. W. C. Oelkers went to Kansas City Friday to be with her father, E. J.

Turner, who underwent an operation at the Research hospital. You wouldn't believe such cheerfulness could be put into a living room with Cook's Armortex, the new plastic finish. Erickson Hardware. $9.30 only $6.49 I or $1.50 I It is always pleasing to hear favorable comment concerningAx-tell and its business houses. A recent addition to our population expressed herself as being much surprised with the magnitude of Gaylord's mammoth store and its wonderful variety of well displayed goods.

Such remarks are well deserved and reprinted with joy, for The Standard was, is and always will be a booster for our fair city and its enterprising merchants and pleasant populace. Augie Nystrom, Axtell's hard working city marshal, had a force of men at work most of last week cleaning up the city. And he did a dandy good job. Floyd McKinley ran the mower and Tom Sullivan and Tony Woltcamp took care of stray weeds with their scythes, which accounts for the spick and span appearance of our, city during picnic week. Good work, well done.

A recent letter from Ira Moore, 527 N. Verdugo Glendale, states that he is still in the hardwood flooring business and doing fairly well, that his parents, Mr and Mrs. Morgan Moore, are located at Ft. Collins, and that Mr. Moore is still building houses.

They were formerly Axtell residents. There will be a dance both Thursday and Friday evening at St. Michael's auditorium. Music by Chas. Haug's 'orchestra.

The admission is 35c. There will be a prize each evening for the most popular young man on the floor. That's worth trying for. Let's everybody go. "Good morning, Mr.

Editor. Here's your ice. Hot, isn't it? I mean the weather. There you are, thank you." It's Gene Welborn, the ice man, of course. Somehow the day's work is less onerous after meeting this pleasant chap early in the morning.

Of course, you'll want to see Joe Brown as fire chief of Rose-dale. And you'll want to see him win the world series of base ball. How he saves the child and wins the game makes a story you will enjoy at the Royal this week end. See page 8. Whack's coupe has been transformed into a handy truck through Geo.

Jorgensen's ingenuity. The truck attachment is easily removed so that in a jiffy the truck is a regular coupe once more. Necessity it the mother of invention. W. A.

R. Lovell is a new reader of The Standard through the kindness of his sister, Mrs. H. C. Barnes.

Keep in mind that a year's subscription to the home paper makes a nice birthday gift, one that is appreciated for the whole year. Barney Coughlin, veteran painter, is having a siege of eye trouble. Some how he got poisoned a while ago, necessitating regular treatments and the use of dark glasses. Here's hoping his sight will improve rapidly. Dr.

F. S. Deem of Oneida was called to attend Mrs. Gus Witt who was ill last week. Dr.

Deem reports a few cases of diphtheria in Oneida. Limping about painfully with a soft shoe on his left foot, Wm. Hill explained that a heavy rod he was handling dropped on his toes with telling result. Between the time it happened and the few days it took to get over its first fierce soreness, Billy was asked about his mishap by at least 1001 friends, which shows that he's a popular guy in this burg. In trying to prevent his car door from striking his better half's elbow, Frank Brawner grabbed 'the slamming door in time to get his right hand caught and the result is that he will grow a new nail on his middle finger.

When questioned Frank insists that it doesn't hurt a bit, but is rather unhandy in picking up a board. Mr. and Mrs. Eber Swanson and children Maurice and Mona Lee of Rantoul, Kansas, were here last week visiting Mrs. Swanson's parents, Mr.

and Mrs. J. H. Carney, and other relatives. Mr.

Swanson reports that crop conditions are about the same in his locality as they are here. Another nice shower of rain fell here Saturday morning which together with the precipitations of the day before did a lot to overcome the bad effects of the awful heat experienced most of July. The accompanying cool wave was much appreciated. Edward Meara made a business trip to Seneca Thursday and was accompanied home by Lew Swog-ger who is farming south of that city. Lew has lived in this vicinity so long that he considers it a real treat to come back occasionally for a visit.

At a special meeting of Anger-ona Chapter No. 205, O. E. held Tuesday evening, July 26, Miss Verneal Johnson was initiated into the mysteries of the order. There were about 40 members present to witness the impressive ceremony.

Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Partridge and children Ruth and Betty, accompanied by her parents, Air.

and Mrs. Frank Usher, went to Beatrice Sunday and spent the day visiting with Mrs. Partridge's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Spence. Thursday's shower near Beattie caused Ernest Samuelson's car to slide into a ditch, which delayed the procession, muddied the shoes of those who went to his aid, and helped the corn in that vicinity a whole lot. "Nip and in other words Glen Alexander and Wiley Branson. Did you ever watch them at a horse shoe game. They could play all day and not be over a point or two apart That's why nip and tuck applies.

Supt J. A. Henrich and sister-in-law, Mrs. C. F.

Elayer, made a business trip to Manhattan Wednesday last week. Mrs. Grace Farrar and daughter Mildred of Carthage, came Friday for a visit at the Dr. A. Gaston and Mrs.

Local Happenings a tu a night's broadcast, from the Mrs. Frances Mason studio, station A-X-T-E-L-L, in the First National Bank building, lasted almost three hours and included some of the best talent in and near the city. There were violin solos, vocal solos and duets, instrumental selections, arranged in a diversified manner by Mrs. E. E.

Swanson. Paul Grove served as announcer and here's hoping he has a life long job. The tuning in is awfully easy, for on a quiet night, provided common sense will tell the Ford owners to use the silencer, the loud speaker can be heard for miles. The remains of Wilbur, 16 year old son of Mr and Mrs. Andrew Loob, arrived here Friday, July, 29, from Fresno, for interment.

Funeral services were heid Saturday at St. Michael's Church, conducted by Rev. Fr. Budreau. and the body was laid to rest in St.

Michael's cemetery. Deceased is a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Pat Loob, this city, and had been ailing for over a year. Get that painting done right and reasonable.
