To the children of course, Baster means something more than just a re ligious festival.

Like old Santa Clans, the Raster rabbit finds his wayj around in marvelous fashion. Egg rolling and egg cracking are diversions which are not so popular here as in the east, but which are not Wholly unknown, to the children of the west.

The reports will then be forwarded to the chairman and thence to the national headquarters. Republican Gains. Monticello Express: Kansas and Missouri, in their municipal elections, showed decided republican gains. In Kansas City, where four years ago the bull moosers had the edge on the vote, the republicans elected the mayor and a big majority in the city council, thus wresting tho control of city affairs from the democrats. The gains were just as marked at St. Joseph, Carthage and many other democratic strongholds. The republi cans of Missouri say they will surely carry the state this fall. This hope was given strong expression at the republican state convention held at Excelsior Springs last week. The annual increase for telegraph and telephone business is more than 40,000 tons of copper. Reniembif iy have separate garments and closed crotch Union Suits, 50c and $1.00 up, respectively.
