The school entertainment has
gone into history and the pupils
and toacliers arc happy over the
success.
Practice and work upon the en-
tertainment hud been 'in progress
for several weeks and as a result
some high class work was exhibit-
ed, We would like to mention
those most highly complimented,
They Are Sorry.
Those who were successful last
fall iu being elected to the munifi-
cent office of township trustee are
now kicking themselves and re-
gretting that they ever qualified
for the office.
A law passed by the last legisla-
ture requires that the assessor
take a complete census of all the
people, statistics of all crops, im-
provements, products sold and
losses from whatever source that
may happen to a farmer. The
The law further provides that if
the assessor is derelict in this duty
a tine of fifty to a hundred dol-
lars may be assessed;and any per-
son or corporation refusion to an-
3wor questions, they may be lined
from fifty to u hundred dollars.
The couuty clerk is required to
make a list of such statistics and
may lie fined $300 to $500 for fail-
ure to perform the duty.
This is not all. The county
commissioners must see that this
law is obeyed or suffer a fine iu
:ike amounts as does the county
clerk. So please bo kind to (lie
assessor when ho calls to see you
and remember lie is mortal and
like the little boy "he dreads it.''
He Told The Truth.
A Missouri editor announced
that for just one issue he would
tell the truth. Ho is now hiding
out in the top of a tall sycamore
iree. Here are a few items from
that issue.

chant iu town, made a trip to

Veterinary science, dealing with
the diseases of our domestic ani-
mals, was never more important to
the farmer than today. Horses,
cattlo, sheep and swine all have
their besetting diseases, and all of
them are better understood and
more successfully treated than
formerally. Live stock interests
are constantly growing in Calla-
han county, and it is big money
in our farmers' pockets to know to
deal with the ordinary diseases
prevalent among their stock. The
Farmer and Stockman, of Kansas
City, Mo., is a farm paper which
has anticipated this need by estab
lishing a department devoted ex-
clusively to veterinary matters It
is edited and conducted by an ex-
pert veterinarian of the highest
rank, whose advice is alone worth
in any times the moderate price ol
the paper. Already hundreds of
the best farmers in our county aro
subscribers for the Farmer and
Stockman and The Snn wonld be
glad to see many more enjoying
the benefits of its instruction. We
are always pleased to take and for-
ward subscriptions for it. If any
of our readers would like to exam-
ine a sample copy and will let us
•know, we will see that it is for-
warded.

Rov. Young will preach at
Prairie Queen Sunday evening at
7 :;i0 o'clock. All are cordially in-
vited to attend.
Mesdames Will Merritt and
Homer Kay arranged a very pleas-
ant surprise dinner party for their
grandmother, Mrs. Tomelson, it
being the occasion of her seventy
sixth birth anniversary. Eighty
nino guests were present, each
lady bringing some article of her
culinery skill. Some brought
shifts of less perishalvie nature.
Time has dealt kindly with grand-
ma and she has grown -old sweetly
and gracefully, arid her rare qual-
ities are appreciated by her many
friends. Nemo.
