J. W. Beebe, Of Udall, Kansas,
shipped a car load Of live poultry
from that city to Wichita this week.
We were down there Wednesday and
saw long strings Of teams waiting
their turn to unload. Beebe is a big
dealer in poultry and the poultry bus
mess is big thing in this part Of
Kansas. And it ought to be ten
times as big as it is now. There is no
more favorable place to raise poultry
than this sunny side of Kansas. Null

1t is said by those who are obsery-
ant that the water is rising in the
creeks and ponds that have
been dry for weeks. As there
has been no rain since the
state far was held in Wichita, the
rise can't come from that source.
Many theories have been advanced TO
give a satisfactory reason for this
phenomenon. Andy Richards attrib-
utes it to the Republican victory.
Lu Papes, of the Kansas Star, thinks
the rise is caused by the overflow of
sap that Lawyers Shelton and Boone
pounded out of each others heads
during the recent scrimmage. Mac.
the Oxford man, guessed it of as auto
matte irrigation. And so it goes.

this corn has been grown in this cOun-

it only remains for the commissioners
