This fall and next Spring h bound
10 be one Of the greatest sras Of i'm
migration Kansas has ever known.
The almost universal good crops Of
Kansas this year and correspondence
~ poor ones In the eastern and mid
die states will again start the tide
our way. The class Of young and
vigorous middle aged. who rent In
the east, and who have been with
longing eyes looking toward the
West, will come 10 Ne this year, and
the state 70 bound 10 receive her full
share Of this very desirable elass Of
honest, hard working people.
Our object In calling attention to
this IL TO remind cur people that
they have . duty 10 perform, and .
privilege they must embrace. We
want 10 capture our full share Of the
people Who come west. The reasons
why We want them are well estab-
lished and known to all; there IL no
use In going over that ground. OF
course the real estate men will do all
they can, and In some instances, per-
haps, will overstep themselves, In
their zeal to secure new people for
our county, but everybody hiss some
thing 10 do In this work Of building
mp here glorious commonwealth.
Almost everybody knows someone
or more persons In the east who
have not o home Of their own, nor
money enough TO purchase one
there, where prices are high, and
conditions no more favorable than
here, where homes are to be had
cheap, who can buy . farm here, or
at least have money enough to pay
. part Of the purchase price. These
people are the ones We want, the
honest, industrious, stesdy-going
young farmers OF the eaat. Write to
them. and tell them what opPortunl-
ties and advantages we have to offer,
without any embellishments, super
latives or fulsome exaggerations.
Just tell them the facts, and then
don't forget to add that We want
them all. That we will give them o
hearty welcome, and assure them |
that here with cheaper land, IS good
market facilities as can be found,
honest industry and patient endeav-
or have their reward As much II not
more than other places. Let's get
our share Of the new people.

Grandma Slonaker, were not In the
