It was an all-inspiring sight Decoration Day to see the Soldiers of the Civil War, soldiers of the SpanishAmerican and of the Great World War all in procession wending their way headed by the McFarland bandboys to the city of the sleeping to decorate the graves of their departed comrades.

The soldiers of Alma and surrounding country, as well as the people of of Alma are very thankful to that splendid body of musicians composing the McFarland Band for assisting in the Decoration Day exercises. It requires much hard work and patience to build up such an excellent music organization as the McFarland boys have.

Mr. Lutz has worked very hard himself and has had efficient help in caring for this spot of ground held sacred in memory by so many of our people. Mr.

C. Schubert who was superintendent for several years before the appointment of Mr. Lutz had devoted a great deal of painstaking time and energy to its upkeep. Dollars cannot re-pay these two men for their devotion to this spot of ground. L.

H. Greenwood, an old Kaw Township boy now a resident of Topeka was an Alma visitor Thursday afternoon, coming up to appear before the County Commissioners in an effort to have the petition granted for hard-surfacing the public road from a point near St. Marys, to where the road connects with the Golden Belt in Wabaunsee Township. Mr. Greenwood and his father are both owners of much real estate in Kaw township, but are urging this project believing the benefits derived will far exceed the extra tax they will pay.

If you will take your pencil and figure out the amount you are required to pay though you own property in the benefit district Mr. Greenwood is of the opinion any reasonable thinking man will favor hard surfacing roads where the Government will pay one-half the cost. Conference Convenes With a farwell service week ago Sunday evening at which Rev. C. Becktold of Marysville, Kansas, spoke the 29th annual conference of the Kansas District of the Evangelical Church in America came to a close.

Delegates and pastors from more than fifty churches were in attendance during the five days of the conference, which was begun Wednesday evening, May 21, when an opening service was held in which the President General of the Church, Rev. John F. Baltzer of St. Louis laid stress on the tasks which confront the church in these times of reconstruction and showed the way in which these tasks might be accomplished. Churches in four states were represented, they being Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas.

Besides the daily business sessions, there were devotional services each evening, which were devoted to the various branches of church activity and which were beautified by the vocal selections of members of the local Friedens church and a quartette of visiting ministers. All those who attended the conference wish to express their thanks to the people of Alma and especially to the members of the Friedens church and Rev. J. Endter, their pastor, and his family for their kindness and hospitality and it is certain that pleasant memories of the days spent in the little city among the hills of Wabaunsee County will linger with them thru the years. A Serious Accident On the way to Wamego to attend a ball game between Wamego and Farland Sunday afternoon, Edward Johnson and Emil Maike of Alma, and Miss Marie Zalenke of McFarland, met with an outo accident which endangered their lives and injured one of the party seriously.

Maike, who was at the wheel, attempted to pass another car where the road was soft; the car skidded at the foot of Lapham Hill about two miles this side of Wamego and turned turtle, throwing the two boys out and pinning Miss Zalenke under the car, breaking the bone of one leg between the knee and thigh and otherwise bruising her. Miss Za lenke's mother was in another car just back of the ill -fated Ford and took her daughter to the Wamego hospital for attention. Maike sustained a severe sprain and bruise to his left knee and Was pretty badly scratched up. Johnson was only slightly bruised. The Ford which turned over belonged to Johnson.

The wind shield and fender were broken which was about all the damage done to the car After the ball game, Walter Wertzberger was bringing the Ford, Johnson and Maike to Alma, when a heavy downpour of rain caught him near the St John farm about four miles south of town; the water got into the coil box of his car and stopped his engine. The party then abandoned the two cars and caught a ride to town with Edwin Car roll who was returning home from Wamego. Memorial Ceremonies Sixty members of the A. O. U.

W. drove in automobiles last Sunday afternoon to the cemetery to pay a tribute of respect and love to the memory of the departed members of their order. Everyone should know that the A. O. U.

W. of Kansas notonly surrounds its members in lite with a living chain of fraternity, but that the memory of its members are cherished after they have responded to the final call. After decorating the graves with flowers, the ceremonies were held by the grave of the last deceased brother Ferdinand Hermann. Rev. Endter opened the ceremonies with a prayer.

Rev. Jackson gave a fitting address to the au dience and William Bowes recited some of the teachings and principles of the order. The Evangelical choir furnished a few well selected songs which helped to make the memorial services very impressive.

Before her marriage to Dr. Sunder Ciothier she taught the Horace Adam- school at Maple Hill two years; at Wabaunsee one year, the A.

F. Thayer school one year and worked three sess'ous as enrolling clerk in the levislature and was rated as an exceptionally bright and capable woman.
