ND.4D. VOL. 4 School Notes The Bronson Pilot, DIRECTORY We Wonder JUocals, The question for debate for Friday is, resolved: That the reading of the Bible should not be prohibited in the public schools. Affirmative: Benson McKenzie and Madge Marvin. Negative, Ernest Willett and Esther Campbell.

Uhima Goodno is still unable to come to school. In the language contest in the 4tb grade last Friday Harold Martin vvou the prize. Roy Campbell had the misfortune to throw his wrist out of place While playing ball last Friday. Roy Rogers was absent from school Motiday. We had our first examination the latter part of last week.

Bertha Corns was absent from school Wly around it is for you in tell her part of last week on account of sick- mediately after the raarrUfc cisely as she pieases; and will to Letha Kirbv started to school Mon- that extent at least, 'obey' von; but it OIL GALORE i New Well Now Being Pumped Fourteen Good Flowing Wells in the Vicinity Northwest of Bronson Pumping began on the new oiler Fri day. It proves to be a very strong well, the estimation being a hundred barrels a day, and of the finest quality. This well was finished several weeks ago but a little unavoidable delay was experienced before begun. Fourtaeu strong wells are now open in that immediate vicinity to say noth-nothing of those scattered over the country in other directions. J.

J. Griffin of Chanute, a manager for the Stan dard Oil Company was in this field Monday and says there is now no doubt that a pumping line will be put in from I Bronson to Jiumboldt by way ot tils-more. He makes a favorable report of the condition of our oil and gas field. 0. A.

Tenold, of Calmar, Iowa, and Fuller, Fuller and Rigley of Iola, will east of the new well. They begin work short time TIT-' nof.T.r a supj)ly ol conbtritiy in- creasing and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of gas there is not a place in the west ith a mere favorable outlook Rmncnn And when we consider i the excellence of our schools, the healthfulness of our climate, the pro- ficiency of our professional men, the good work done by our churches, the extent of business done by our business men, the abundant crops surrounding us, the absence of saloons, and the welcome that is always "extended to strangers, we ask, could there be a more favorable place to make one's home? Times uncountable have we heard the. remark made lately by traveling men and those disinterested that Bronson does more business than any other town her size in eastern Kansas, and as much as most cities four times her size. And why, indeed, should she not? ANOTHER BIG DEAL The Love-Entzmingei-Ranch Sold Deal Made Tuesday by Anderson 1 Welch 1 The xGOO acre ranch owned by Love l'V 0 If Clarence Meyer is just as keen for foot ball as ever. If wedding bells will not ring two cr three times in Bronson soon.

Why that truant officer doesn't hike two or seven boys of Bronson into school. What that stuff is that girls put on their lips to make believe their gums are bleeding. What the editor did to merit that beautiful boquet of roses left on his desk one day last week. When young ladies will come to know that it is a mark of ill-breeding to chew a cud outside the cow lot. Why a preacher with a giant mind will pray for twenty minutes and imag ine that we smailer fallows are follow- ipg hirn Whv a woman will lie to her little ones about spooks and jails and tramps and hobgoblins, and expect him to become a truthful citizen.

What Brcnson would do if there were iv w-. tt5CllLUS Ui trie depot to meet tnc trams. Why a woman wiii suet; on ier neaa a combination of red rags as high as a cat's back and as hideous as a lobster and imagine it is "So sweet. IIow a man can have the audacity to come into the presence of a woman or walk the street or any other place with her while smoking a cigar as strong as Samson. Why a woman would have a fit to see her boy take a drink of beer, fifteen per cent alcohol, but will make him swallow patent medicine forty-eight per cent or mora alcohol.

Why people who otherwise use good English, persist in saying "It do'nt," "He don't," "She don't." Now, in behalf of the much abused mother-tongue, how; does it sound, "It do not," "He do not," "She do not?" ARRIVED MONDAY An Addition to our Banking Firm Dr. Cnmmings informed the editor of the arrival of the new bank clerk. He will not begin work at the bank for some days yet, we understand.

"Shall I insist, on the minister putting the word "obey" in our marriage cert- mony'?" inquires a lover-torn who is following th "primrose path of dalliance," Of comve" answers Bent, MurdooK.

At this time hen there is so much agitation of the temperance question in Kansas it is interesting to note what our neighbors in other states are thinking about it. We arc indebted to E. E.

Heaton for a copy of the Tampa, (Fla.) News which gives an excellent account 01 E. convent ton recent ly held Incidentally, Mr. Hea'ton's son, there. W. A.

Heaton, wrts a 'romincnt fr.c- tor this i cipal topics peranco (a- i Temperate Lif which W2 consider addresses livered before this touching on tho liq of some of the vps uc "The Mcl'diillen tr'- 'Ucst i VC3. oke intem- lO'i fs "IS perance whivh are -o-o Cj- i vrsidercd as such intemperance in language, intemperance in eating, cti. lie said that temperance in tho la: guage of the parents is the child's birthright. The other species of intemperance he calls "doing justice to the occasion" Sun- day dinners and picnics, even lawyers and preachers sometimes being guilty. But the greater portiorr of his address was given up to the temperance question as it is usually considered.

The statistics of all states he says, show a greater amount of crime and misery attributable to the use of ardent liquors obtained at these retail liquor saloons than to anyiother source. Tampa must be like somlfother places we know. He says that thero are m-s-i in who will 'hurrah for- Govs. Folk or LaFol-lette, or Mayor Weaver, whom if elect ed to office at home could not find a saloon open on Sunday, a gambling He thinks in matters of reform it would be well not to be too far-sighted God pity the man, he says, who upholds th whiskey traffic on business grounds, Here the speaker took occasion to pay a tribute to Kansas, saying that twenty years ago she was practically under mortgage today, after twenty years of prohibition she is one of the most (prosperous states in the union. Florida, too, he says, is forging to the front as never before in wealth and three fourths of her counties are now without saloons, We say with this southern orator, may God speed -the day when our country shall be free from this dreadful curse.
