FIFTY-TWO YEARS A SUBSCRIBER TO ONE PAPER.
The following article is gleaned from this month’s Central Christian Advocate. Mrs. Palmer is an aunt of Henry Neviil, of this city. The article follows: The pastor of our Glasco, Kas., church believes that one of his members holds the record as a subscriber <to the Cenltral Christian Advocate. Her name is Mary Palmer, wtife of W. W. Palmer, of Glasco, Kas. 'Mrs. Palmer has taken tlhe Advodate for over fifty-two years, and has been a member 'of the Glasco church, where she still holds her Setter, for more than forty years. She was converted and joined the Methodist church in Pilckneyville, HI., when she was only fifteen years of age and has been a faithful and consistent Christian all these years. One reason why she has lived such a (beautiful, Christian life is because she has kept in close touch (with the affairs of the Kingdom through her church .paper. . We (believe in giving honor where honor is due, and flowers to the living, before they jpass beyond the enjoyment of flowers. To have been a subscriber to her church paper for over fifty-two years is a record few can claim and everyone be proud to own. Sister Palmer has ibeen loyal to her church, loyal to her famfily, and loyal to her God. We are proud of her and pray that God’s richest blessings may rest upon her all the remaining years of her life. May her kind increase for “Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven;” — J. C. Dussair.

2,000,000 RAIL MEN JOIN IN DEMANDS.
Washington, Aug. 6.—Representatives of fourteen different railroad unions now have joined in a communication to • Director General Hines asking immediate increase in wages. So far as known this is the first instance on record in which all the railroad unions, representing 2,~ 000,000 employes, have acted as a unit. Mr. Hines said today that he had not had time to analyze the communication, but it seemed a formal presentation of wage demands already made public. Speculation was 'caused by the action of the unions as to whether in the future they would continue to proceed as a unit. When the four 'big brotherhoods united in wage demands several years ago their insistence that th* railroads treat with them as otne body met with considerable resistance because of the tremendous power which the unified brotherhoods could bring to bear. Director Hines conferred today with Chief Shepherd of the conductors and Acting Chief Shea of the firemen. President Forrester, representing the clerks and freight handlers, expected to see the director general. . The senate r - interstate commerce committee late today by unanimous vote directed Chairman Cummins to reply to President Wilson’s suggestion for legislation to create a special railroad wage board. Senator Cummins’ letter will not 'be made public until tomorrow, but lit is understood to advise the president that he has full authority without further legislation.

JOE McCOLLY WINNER IN PUZZLE CONTEST.
Joe McColly, son of Fred McColly, was the winner of the cravat' offered by the Hilliard & Hamill store, of this city, to the first Republican reader who was able to fill in the correct letters in their Wednesday evening' advertisement. There were several others who gave the correct answer, but McColly was the first to reach the store with the correct solution. The correct answer was: “Hilliard and Hamill can and do sell pure wool clothes as low as thirty-two-fifty. ’ ’ Mr. Hilliard is an ardent believer in the use of printers’ ink as a medium of. bringing ihis wares before the ‘ public, and his belief has been greatly strengthened by the numerous replies he received following the delivery of last night’s paper. Many called him by telephone at his home long after he had closed his store and were greatly disappointed to learn that they were too bite.

A DERBY is called the “dress up” hat, by men who are particularly anxious to appear always at their best and that’s why many men like to have one handy for special events. But even so, it’s easy to err and get an unbecoming or incorrect shape. Our line of Fall Derbies Is so wide and varied that men can always got the hat best suited to them. And they’ll get best quality, too, for the $4, $5 or $6 that they pay for the hat.

He has had a varied career and his time spent in the navy has given him an experience that seldom comes to young men of his age.

CHICAGO BOARD GOES WILD WHEN COR JUMPS.
Chicago, Aug. 6.—Scenes of wild excitement prevailed again today at the Board of Trade, where corn prices jumped 10 cents si bushel, after having suffered an equal drop yesterday. Rushes to sell yesterday were almost surpassed in the wild scramble to purchase today. Even in the hectic days of the war 10-cent fluctuations in grain in a single day were rare. AH transactions here turned on the news from Washington that the " government, contrary to the outlook yesterday, would not adopt sacrifice selling of wheat as a means of attacking the high cost of living. This decision, although unexpected and notwithstanding the rebound in corn prices which resulted, did not elicit much unfavorable comment.
