The children are made happier because "Kewpie Twins" Shoes fit their feet. These shoes are made over lasts scientifically designed for the growing foot, and they are made without tacks or nails. They are as soft as a glove, snug in fit and tough as raw hide. It is only about 4 weeks until harvest time and the continued wet weather south of us is taking nearly all the engines the factory can build i-itrht now. We sold 40 of ana naving a municipal plant there, according to the provisions of the ordinance as published in The Times.

But the proposition was defeated at the polls, the vote being 61 to 83 against. Wheat was selling for .94 cents in Clay Center the first of the week, rather lower than it has been lately. It is predicted that the price will not go up now until after harvest, and it may stay down low then. There does not seem to be any reason to cause a rise in the price. Hessian fly does not seem to have greatly injured Clay county wheat so far, though in places the damage has been considerable.

But cut worms have injured the corn. The fly has been the worst in Kansas this year in years. But Clay county is not one of the bad counties. The Harry Sherley family moved the latter part of last week from the Swedish Baptist parsonage, where they have been residing for some time, into the property across the street east from the old Dr. Porter home on Fourth street, which was lately vacated by the Tankersley family.

Leon Kramer, who has been spending the past several months in Kansas City attendance at the Kansas City Dental college, arrived home the last of last week and throughout the summer months will assist with the work at the Kramer shoe shop. He expects to take up his dental studies another year. Considerable repairs have been made the past week to the lams elevator, the old Pv elevator. Large storage room has been added above the dump, where there was just a roof before, adding about 2,000 bushels capacity to the elevator. The place has been thoroughly overhauled.

Pinkerton and lams now own this elevator. Dr. C. D. Osterhout and some others went over near Vermillion.

Wednesday of last week, to look at an auto. which it was thought might be the one stolen from Dr. Osterhout last win ter. But when they inspected the car they found that it was not Osterhout's car. It might, however, be one stolen from some one else.

Word came to the John Green family Tuesday telling of an accident which had befallen Mrs. Green's brother, Will Gregwire, who is out on the road with the billing crew for the 101 Ranch show. He was run into by an automobile and injured to such an extent that he is a patient in the hospital where the accident occurred. Clay Center has purchased a street sweeper. That is, a street sweeper has been shipped to Clay Center and an expert will come and set it up and give it a work out.

Then if the city is satisfied with the way it works and decides that it is a good machine and worth its price, the city will buy the sweeper. It arrived Tuesday and was unloaded. Hon. Ben F. Wilson of Berkley, former Socialist member of the Kansas legislature, spoke in Clay Center Friday evening and again Sunday afternoon, going from here to Clifton, where a meeting was held that evening and again Monday evening.

He also spoke to a Clifton audience Saturday even ing, a number of Clay Center people attending all three meetings. Hardly ever do any tramps come around to the back doors of Clay Center now except on Sunday. Other days they know they will be sent to the city marshal who will give them work on the rock pile to earn something to eat. But on Sunday they can't be sent to the -rock pile to earn a meal, so they come around begging on that day. It is a testimonial to the value of the rock pile.

Work has started at the city water works plant getting ready for the installation of the new engine and automatic stokers. The building will have to be enlarged, an addition being built to the east, to accommodate the new engine. It will be considerably larger than formerly. The commission feel that they have secured a mighty fine engine and stoker at a mighty low price. Both are of the latest type.

Mrs. James Blue was informed this week that her son-in-law, Charles Benedict, of Tacoma, had just suf fered the loss of a hand. The thumb of that member was recently cut with a knife, and although development made it necessary to amputate the thumb tuberculosis of the bone set in and the whole hand had to be taken off. His condition is still serious and it is feared that the whole arm may have to be removed. The wet weather has greatly inter fered with the digging of the new drainage sewer in the north parf of town.

Contractor Reed is hoping for dry, sunny weather as much as the farmers are. Rains caused a cave in last week, but fortunately it was where the sewer had been laid, so no loss occurred. The work is now being car ried along Crawford street, where crushed rock has been hauled. Unless the weather gets better, the work will take much longer than was figured on. The Times finished printing the an nual for the graduating class of the county High school last week and delivered the same to the class.

The book is called "The Orange and Black" again this year, as for some years past. It is slightly larger than recent books and is fully up to the standard set by the school for some years past. The edition was quickly sold by the class. It is a book of which the class and school can well be proud, and The Times thinks the printing is a pretty nifty job also. Earl McChesney started his new bank at Salina last week.

It is called The Peoples State Bank of Salina and starts out with good deposits, a fine, these engines last summer, but could have sold 200 could we have gotten them.

this season, left Sunday night for Kansas City, having completed her season's work in this city. All the weather predictions were that fair weather would prevail Monday. But that evening a rain came up and it was rainy Tuesday. It was one time when the government missed it on the weather, badly. The J.

C. Funnell family are moving this week into their new residence, which is all completed and ready for their They have been living in a residence on Lane street until the new house, was ready. The carnival company which was here last week went to Concordia Sunday, much to the regret of some of the young men of the town, who surely enjoyed the dancing there last week, from the stories that are told. Farmers say that cut worms are badly injuring corn fields. Some places the entire corn field has been taken and had to be all replanted.

The worms are worse than usual by far. More seasonable weather would put a stop to them. J. Todd was up to Clay Center Saturday from down south of town. He had driven up, so was not worrying any about the heavy rain which came up about 2 o'clock.

He knew the horses would make the trip and there would be no skidding. Mrs. H. W. Frank and brother, W.

It looks as though Earl had found a fine location for a state bank at Salina and as though it would be a winner from the start.

Clay Center people certainly hope so and wish the new enterprise the greatest success, which they feel sure it will have. Earl has proven himself a sue cessful banker. Mr. and Mrs. H.

H. Starkweather and children returned Tuesday after noon from a visit of a number of days with W. P. Brooks and family at Great Bend, Kan. Mr.

Starkweather states that out in Saline county and some oth er counties to the west and south of here, wheat is practically destroyed by Hessian fly. Great fields are c6mplete-ly ruined and everywhere one can see farmers in the fields plowing them and getting them ready for some other crop. Further west, in western Kan sas, there is no damage, wheat looking fine. Fly has never been out west and is not there now. But he says in cen tral Kansas the damage is great.

They have secured the rental of a large tract of land down there and think they see a bright future ahead in the raising of hogs and cattle. The experiment will be watched with interest.
