ALL ABOUT KANSAS.
FRIEEDs THE CLUE: In reply to many would
ssy that Kansas, unlike most OF the Prairie States
is not a level country. The streams run through
valleys varying in width from a few rods to three
or four miles. The land from most of the valleys
gently rises to the high praries These praries
invariably rolling. though in many cases scarcely
percepiibie, and very prolific. The climate is far
more healthy than States in the same latitude east
The Winters milder. Owing to remotcness
from the sea, also the altitude, the atmosphere is
dryer. Ofwater there is an abundance in running
streams, springs and wells The most depend on
wells, which are easily got. They stand without
curbing walls. There Is Solid bed of water at
depth OF eight to sixty feet, owing to the hight OF
the land. the water is all level. Well water
Is considered preferable for stock, ii is warmer
In Winter, cooler in Summer, and not bothered with
flies and mosquitoes. There is some timber that
has been set out several years ago tree claims,
but we have timber enough for all the posts
require Any kinds OF timber do we'll here. but
the cottonwood is preferred, because ii grows from
cuttings, and grows fast. The soil is mostly of
deep, RICH sandy loan. There is not one acre in
500 but what can be brought into cultivation. In
dustries well represented. We have fine farmers
and also stockraiscrs. The majority of professions
and trsdes-infa all excepttbeiaw and medicine
can be probably followed here. Not that there is
cali for their services, but very little, Kansas
Is a healthy and law-abiding State. ANY amount
of land can be bought but there is no Government
land in this County, but in Pratt, Harper. Ford,
Finney and other Of tie Southwestern Counties.
Decided and unimproved land Is from s3 10 Si0 per
acre, according 10 location Decided and improved
land at from $ TO SO. according to location and
improvements We have plenty Of churches of all
denominations and the best of schools. Teachers
wages are from $50 up, and teachers must be edu-
Gated for we wish our young and rising generation
of this State TO be able to compete with any of
Eastern States-Addie B. Taylor, Arlington, Kan.
NO FOREIGN PRESCRIPTION.
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: While would not pro-
hibt foreign immigration would Prohibit all who
would not take the oath of allegiance Let us cor
daily welcome all who come TO our shores to make
themselves homes and become true Americans
whether they be Caucasian Mongolian. But
would favor amending the oath of citizenship so as
