Richmond was elected principal of the Lathrop schools iv Kansas City last week, and at a special meeting of the school board Friday he tendered his resignation as Superintendent of the Butler s hools, which was accepted and he was released from his contract. Prof. Richmona’s last year was perfectly satistactory and he was re-elected without op- position. His only reason for re- signing was the increase in salary and the opportunities offered for promotion. He and his estimable wife formed many close attachments in Butler and their departure is re- gretted.

Parish Nickell, night policeman for Butler, went to Kansas City on Sat- urday and was operated on at the German Sisters Hospital for a blad- dercomplaint. He was accompanied by his wife and mother, Mrs. H. P. Nickell, of Lee’s Summit. From last account he was doing as well as could be expected. Sunday the re- port was circulated that he bad died under the operation, but this fortu- nately proved unfunded. 0. P.

This isa most delightful climate, neither too hot nor too cold in summer. Iam glad old Bates has a bumper corn crop this year.

It can be easily cut with ordinary shears to fit any pattern desired. It can be put inachair by any person who can drive a tack. It is the most durable seat manufactured. It is attractive enough to use in the best chair made. It {s of the same color throughout, and will not mark or scratch as easily as leather. I¢ is cheaper than cane or leather. It properly adjusted with upholstery nails, driven not more than one inch apart the “UNIVERSAL” seat will outlast the strongest chair frame made. A.H.
