COILS WERE RETURNED Somebody's conscience must have hurt them after the disappearance of the coils from Geo. Thompson's car a week ago Monday night, for on Sunday morning as Mr.

Thompson passed his mail box he noticed something in the box and upon examination found that his lost coils were in the box. The guilty party's conscience should have acted before the deed was committed. BARNARD 9--HUNTER 8 The Hunter base ball club opened the 1924 base ball season at Barnard last Sunday afternoon. The teams were evenly matched and at the end of the nine innings the score stood 8 to 8, and an extra inning was played with the result that Barnard pushed over the decisive run. Considering the fact that the Hunter team has never been together before for practice this season, they did very well for the first game.

BAZAAR WELL ATTENDED The Ladies' Aid bazaar held Wednesday evening was a decided success. Supper was started at five- thirty and for three hours the ladies were kept real busy waiting on the people. Ice cream and cake were served during the evening. At eight-thirty a free gram was given at the picture theatre to a crowded house. By ten-thirty all the fancy work and practically all eatables were sold.

Around $90 was realized from the bazaar. NOTICE All parties interested in the appearance of the Hunter Cemetery are requested to meet at the cemetery Saturday afternoon, April 26th, for the purpose of cleaning up the grounds. Bring tools and blankets. G. A.

Baird, Pres. Hunter HUNTER, MITCHELL COUNTY, KANSAS. Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that loyalty to community interests is the highest form of patriotism? Show us the man who is loyal and true to every interest off his own community and we will show you in that same individual a man in whom his country can report absolute confidence in any emergency that calls for his allegiance. On the other hand, the man who is careless and unconcerned for the interests of his community is most apt to display the same spirit of ence toward his government or his state should any serious danger threaten either. Try to imagine an entire state composed of innumerable communities welded and cemented into a symmetrical whole, each striving to excel the others, but each, from its own local loyalty, developing a broader and deeper loyalty than reaches out and embraces the whole.

This would be brought about if we could be brought to see that we owe allegiance to our own people, but that the prosperity and success of others is in no wise a detriment to us, but rather a help, that if each community would develop itself to the utmost--materially, mentally and morally--none would need be envious of others, neither would any need do aught but to detract from another's interest. Let us develop community loyalty to the full--the highest form of patriotism. SAME OLD STORY COMMUNITY LOYALTY It has just been discovered that the Egyptian world of 5000 B. C. was ruled entirely by women and that they wore their hair bobbed.

That is interesting if true, but why should it be printed as news, and in what way did the conditions of the old Egyptian world differ from those of the present time? They also say that Isis, the female goddess, was regarded as the ruler of the world. In fact, the ladies had everything their own way. But there isn't anything startling in that. That isn't news, and doesn't differ from the existing conditions of today. Women haven't changed a whole lot since the time of Isis.

LAYING NEW TRACK Santa Fe Will Make Real Road Out of Salina -Trains to Strong City? TEACHERS FOR NEXT YEAR Three teachers have thus far signed contracts as instructors in our high school. Prof. E. Thayer Gaston, who has been with the Sublette schools the past year, becomes principal for next year. Geo.

Cole whom you all know will be with us for another year in his present position and Miss Florence Leach, who has had several years experience as a teacher and taught in our school with success three years ago, will have charge of the Domestic Science department. Two places are still open, one for agriculture and manual training and one for the English department.

I. 0. 0. F. CELEBRATION The Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges of Cawker City, Glen Elder and Hunter will celebrate the 105th anniversary of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Cawker City this coming Saturday, April 26th.

A fine program has been arranged by the committees, taking up the time from the big basket dinner at the noon hour until after the degree work at night. See the program in full in this issue of the Herald. If the weather permits, Hunter will be represented by a large delegation of members of the two orders. THE HERALD for one year, $1.50. The Santa Fe railroad has commenced the work of relaying the rails on its branchline, Abilene to Salina.

Just now the work is centering around Solomon where over 200 Mexicans are employed on the work. An entire train of work cars is stationed there. This is believed to be a move toward improving the whole branch to take care of the purchase of the Salina Northern railroad. It is generally believed that as soon as the Santa Fe gets control of the Salina Northern and can play a large part of those tracks and rebuild the road bed, service perhaps from Osborne direct to Strong City will be inaugurated. At Strong City connections all ways will be made, but the new direct service that will be opened to this vicinity in event trains run direct to Strong City, will be to Texas and other southern points.

No other lines here runs as direct as this service would be. There are still some formalities to be gone through before the Santa Fe formally gets the Salina Northern, but it is generally believed there is nothing but form standing in the way. Meanwhile, in connection with the improvement work on the Salina branch, the Solomon Tribune brings up an interesting item. The steel rails, which are being removed, cost $14 a ton when they were laid thirty-five years ago. Today, though in use all that time, these rails are being sold at $45 a ton, over three times the ordinary cost though used 35 years! But at that the Santa Fe makes no profit on the deal, for the heavier rails replacing them, cost as much in proportion as they would have cost 85 years ago.

Train service from Osborne to Strong City would be a mighty fine thing and would give the people of this section connections both east and west with the main line of the Santa Fe. This would be a long step in the right direction, and probably would mean that sooner or later the road would be extended to the north and Journal. OBITUARY Harriet Jane Shrigley was born December 14, 1840, in Muscinham county, Ohio, and died Thursday, April 17 th, 1924, at the advanced age of eighty-three years, four months and three days.

If you can answer 'yes' to that question, then you can feel sure that your character is good. Sylvan News.

ME DEPOSITS GUARANTEED Don't Give Up the Ship Things are looking fine this spring and we believe that prosperity awaits those that have stayed with it, those that have saved a little as they went along or made ends meet as best they could. Now if better times are just around the corner, then we must wake up and begin to lay our plans accordingly for if we cannot make it when times are flush, we are bound to run in debt when times are hard. Make this bank always your bank and if you show that you have the ability to earn and save part of your earnings, your credit will always be good and we will help you in times of need. -THEFarmers State Bank HUNTER, KANSAS 20 ME Some have forgotten to pay their subscriptic in, have you?
