Greensburg Times: Foreclosures are
plentiful, but who are the defendants?
in nearly all cases absentees. The moral
is obvious. Stick to the farm, show
your confidence and the capitalists in
vsriably rec;procate and show theirs and
are ready and able to help you over the
temporary depression. 1t is the ne'er
do well who has skipped; that is filling
the District court docket. The farmer
who is staying with it, resolutly bent on
pulling through is not being crowded
and We confidently predict will be fully
rewarded for his grit.
Pa1ico Courier: Some people persist
emily patronizs strangers in preference
to home dealers. The latest to this ef-
feet is that travelling insurance agent
has been insuring property in the
neighborhood at an e1orbitant rate
taking personal notes for payment, and
in some instances We believe obtaining |
such notes without giving a policy
therefor Immediately. This agent has
also been insuring buildings for more
than they are WORKMAN unsound policy |
in any business. Persons who patron
ize such irresponsible agents assume
large risks Of being terribly cheated and
duped.
Beloit Courier: It is about time that !
of west and northwest Kan
sas begin to roast the Kansas City Star,
for its daily slurs and sueers at this part
Of the vineyard. Its quipe Of this char
acter are about on par with the dis
gushing mother-in-law railery Of idiots
who never should have been blessed
With a wife who ever had q mother.
The paragrapher OF "Kansas Notes" in
the Star would better please the people
out here il he would altogether ignore
western Kansas. He may be smart
