has the advantage of fine fruit farm.

season or two.
Applications for positions as teachers
in the CITY schools are being filed with
the board. Supt. Webb has been offered
an increased salary to take charge of the
Kinsley schools, but his services and
efficiency are held in such high esteem
by the patrons of our schools that the

of relinquishing him.

f. J. Clark. a prominent farmer OF
MOntezuma, Gray county, attended our
district court last week. He reported
all the available land in south Gray as
having been seeded to wheat and rye,
and thought no state could boast of o
better prospect for a big harvest. Immi-
grafton is being attracted to his locality.
He said over fifty families would be en-
braced in the number already having
arrived and those he knows are coming
to his township this season. 1t is his
opinion that as . result of this years
harvest eastern people will be running
over each other to get homes here.
In some of the counties of this state
the commissioners have, upon the au-
thority of the county attorney, deter
mined to assess judgments for taxation
the same rs other personal property.
The effect of this will cause the cancella-
ton of Il large number of judgments
which, while practically worthless to the
holder. arc constant menace to the
debtors and prevents hundreds of them
from engaging in business or owning
anything liable to be levied upon. The
sale of property and bidding in by the
MORTGAGE for Il trifle and then taking
judgment against the mortgagor for the
balance of the debt is wrong. A taxa
ton Of such judgments will be good
remedy.
''NO assessment for the month of May

markable statement. when we take into
consideration that its membership num-
bers over 10000 in Kansas alone. We
think no other fraternal insurance soci-
ETY. can make so good showing as this,
