Thousands of children romped, rode the merry-go-round and drank soda pop at the big outdoor picnic which was given under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher association. Upper left—Swapping concessions was the chief sport of the small boys, some of whom had been at the park entrance as early as 6 o'clock. Upper right—The greatest thrill of all, the ride on the mettlesome steel of the Racing Derby, known commonly as the merry-go-round. Lower left—The most popular hosts at the park, Sidney and Wilma, the baby elephants who were discovered early by small boys who crawled in back of the circus tent.

BURLINGTON, KAS., May 24.—After working for nearly two weeks to formulate a plan whereby a receivership for the defunct Farmers National bank of this city could be avoided, all efforts have failed and that institution now is in charge of Receiver N. M. Dudley of Americus, Ga. He will wind up the affairs of the bank. Folks who do not like to get into a fight should avoid arguments with pacifists.—Shoe and Leather Reporter.
