only the advance agent of a nice
little nip whuh fell the same
evening While the temperature

And the Epworth League got
together last Saturday evening
and had a picnic And say!
they sure had a good time Some
of the young people said they
had the best time of their life
They took the 6:30 car to Hick'
ory Creek taking their supper
along They enjoyed the even-
ing greatly and then as a fitting
climax to a good picnic they had
prayer testimonial and song
service Each one was drawn
nearer to their Saviour
Say! if you want to get in with
this liyely bunch of young people

The Jntemrban could well
spare a few hours time and a
few men to do the work on their
line between here and Nowata
A few rails shortened would save
lots of delay Tim expansion of
the rails which are evidently too
close together makes rainbow
kinks in some places two feet
in length during the heat
of the afterpoop Rerides caus-
ing a delay this condition is

moving to Coffeyville today
where he has bought a suburban
grocery so we are informed
Delaware regrets losing this
estimable family and wishes
them well in their new home
A Kansas newspaper man pos-
sibly touched by thdheat dashes
off this protest against the une-
qual rights enjoyed by men and
women in this hot weather:
"Women demand equal rights
with men What does a woman
have to wear during the oppres-
sive dog days? One low-necked
sleeveless mosquito netting
gown one pair silk stockings
one pair slippers That’s all
What does a man wear during
the said dog days? One coat
one pair trousers one shirt with
starched collars one pair shoes
one union suit one hat one pair
suspenders one belt one neck
tie If he takes his coat off in a
hot restaurant he is thrown out
If he takes his collar off he’s a
rube If he wore his trousers
slit up to the knee he would be
sent to the insane asylum
Equal rights? Huh!"
