In view Of the remarkable success
that has attended our modest weather
predictions during the past few weeks
a number Of persons have solicited us
to prophecy favorable season and
good crops for this year. We accede
to the request with all cheerfulnese.
We thoroughly believe that this is
going to be big year for Kansas.
Why? First, because We have al.
ways raised good crop in q Presideu.
tial year. Second, because Kansas
weather runs in cycles, and it il now
the regular time for q good season.
Third, because, men andssbrethren. ,ue

a good crop this year or Ego broker"
and we don't believe that the good
Lord will let any such thing Is that
happen to Kansas.

circulars 5000 devoted especially to
each town while all have practically
the same matter about the country
which they are distributing broad
cast. On April 1st they intend issuing
100, 900 more, in addition to all Of

these cannot fail of reward, and the
towns that exert them cannot help
booming.
