method. Break up the everlasting prai-
ries and retain your rains when they
come.-Hays City Sentinel.

-Congressmen have hard time of it.
In dispensing the patronage under their
control they make at least half dozen
enemies to one friend among the Office
seekers, and the half dozen disappointed
fellows Immediately begin hunt for the

The secret of our immense wheat
crop in Ellis county this season is this.
First, we have some $4,000 acres of broke
land in this county that has, during the
last ten years been absorbing the rain of
a yearly!average of from 25 to 80 inches
of water. Second, our farmers have con-
tinued to SOW broad acres each year.
Third, our people generally believe in the
doctrine whosoever fails to SOW shall not
reap. Strange as it may seem there are
few in the county who having failed and
neglected to SOW are full of wonder that
they don't get a crop.-Hays City Sentinel

The following is what Ike Purcell, of
the Grainfeld Cap Sheaf has to say about
Wa-Keeney:
"In recent trip to Wa-Keeney we
could but notice the change that has
come over the town in the last few
months. While no one is claiming that
business is good, yet We surely can see a
change for the better. We imagine we
can see the forecast of good, healthy
trade in every line lowering over or CROP
ping out on every street corner, soon to
dawn fully fledged. We-Keeney is des-
tined to make good town. She is get
tting there slow but certain. We have
no desire to dictate to the citizens down
there, but to us it seems the time has come
when Touring mill is an indispensable
factor and cannot longer be neglected"

It Makes Us Tired.
We learn from the Hays City Republi-
can that at G.. A. R camp fire at Hays
one evening last week, Hon. 8. Motz was
called for and responded as follows:
DO not like to talk at camp-fresL In
fact am not an admirer of camp-fres. I
do not like to hear such songs as '.We'n
hang jeff Davis on a sour apple tree"
Jeff Davis has been good citizen"
What slush! JEFF Davis has been q
good citizen, has he? So has Judas Is-
CARROT. and Benedict Arnold from the
same reasoning, Ii JEFF Davis has been
good citizen please mention the name
OF bad one. There is limit to every
thing and such statements as the above
make us SO very, very tired.
