At the cltee of dinner Mr. Yetter gave the welcome address: "Sighted, What the Old Soldier Had Accom plished." I few of his remarks I will quote. ' , 'When we were mustered, out or service, we were line prisoners just liberated from close confinement. We did not know what to do with our- from a small patch of ground.

Kansas is look ed up to in all parts of the east.' Yes, Uncle Billy said: "It "was the old soldiers pensions that kept things going here." , Capt. Johnson replied' to Mr. let ter with very appropriate remarks. I think it was decided that once a vear a gathering of this kind should take Dlace at one of the old soldiers homes. The afternoon was spen; with mu sic and old war stories. About 5 p. m. all registered and departed for their homes wondering what the roll call will be next year. One of the Guests.

Is there oil in Trego county inis is me question that some, of the residents here ate asking, in view of the fact that a number of oil men, ' from the oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma, have been making visits to this vic inity and taking trips into the coun try, purporting their mission to be locking for real estate investments. And it is reported that they have been more interested in figuring on a lea-ce nrorosition rather than in the purchase of farms. One party who has dealings in the oil fields of eastern Oklahoma sug gested that the anticline in the neighborhood of TJastle Rock' and along the Hack berry was very similar to the oil fields in eastern Oklahoma. Capital. "Ring, Ring, Who Has tho Ring?" The Hays and Wa-Keeney papers last week reported that a diamond ring had been lost by a Hays young lady on the special train which haul ed the Hays people to Wa-Keeney on the day of the Havs-Wa-Keeney High School foot bail game. The matter was reported to the train crew and the break man informed us that he had made a thorough search of the train and had failed to find the ring. The next day or so after the game the young gentleman in the case, who lives in Ellis, and a number or men looked for an hour or more in the Aards among rubbish, and the Tints found, but no diamond. And then to make the case more complicated, the young man - took the rintr, with the set out,- to Hays and offered it to the voong ladv, but she could not even get it on "her finger and said it did not look like the one she lost anyway. The ring was quite valuable and was a present to the young lady Ellis Headlight.
