Should you ask us. should you question
Why we've invested in this paper,
Why we spend our time and money
Setting type and hiring printers,
Buying ink and type and rollers.
Begging lads from all the merchants,
Taking produce from the farmers
On subscription not yet due
We should answer. should tell you,
That there dwells class of people
In this grand old Trego county,
Owning farms and fields and gardens,
On the river and the prairie,
In the valleys, on the hillside,
Growing wheat and growing cattle
Big fat steers and glossy heffers,
Cows that scarce can bear the burden
or the weight of milk they carry,
Bright-eyed calves that romp and gambol
Der the grasses and the meadow
Baby COWS that fill the farmer
With bright hopes for the hereafter.
Where the dew-drops shine and sparkle
On the corn blades in the summer,
And the mission of these people
Is to make the landscape brighter,
Nal Ike the prairieS more productive.
Raise up noble sons and daughters,
Giving them an education
That shall fit them for the future
OF great progressive nation.
Then what use are gloomy stories,
OF the struggles in the cities,
OF the vile and awful doings
OF the footpads in the alleys,
! Or the politicians wrangles
In the halls or on the corners?
Must their lives depend on these things7
Will they tell them will they teach then
How to triumph in the conflict,
| How to grow more grain ana grasses,
| How, to start Jersey dairy,
Churn the milk and make the butter
That shall bring the highest prices
| Ia the markets of the cities;
| How to keep and manage poultry.
Cackling pullets. big fat roosters,
yellow legged Sunday dinners)
How to care for colts and horses,
| How to treat them, how to train them,
| How to make their hogs grow larger
Than the monsters of the jungle,
Make them into breakfast bacon
Juicy hams to tempt consumers?
What they need is some good paper
| That will help them in their struggles,
That shall carry words of wisdom
Spoken for them by their fathers
| Who have conquered in the battle.
Thus the Western Kansas World,
Brings "a message from their neighbors
To assist them and advise them,
! Help them talk to one another
| On the pages spread before them.
On the leaves that they turning,
In the columns of its pages
| Letters full of hope and gladness
| Tnat shall brighten up their vision,
| Make their way more clear before them,
la the pathway for their footsteps.
There's no paper in the country
More thoroughly in earnest
More determined in its purpose,
Or with brighter glowing prospects
| Than the one you hold before you,
What want is more subscribers,
Want Il larger circulation,
Want more papers mailed farmers,
Carried to them by the poStman,
Posted for them in their boxes.
Handed them by their neighbors.

Apologies TO Hugh a. McCord.

PATRIOTIC WORK OF THE
LEGION OF LOYAL WOMEN
EFFORTS OF A YEAR SUMMED Ur
Thousands of American Soldiers Ma
teriaiIy Aided During the
War with Spain.

The annual report of Mrs. Lizzie W.
Calver, as president OF the Legion of Loyal
Women, for the past year, contains several
items of general interest. The meetings
were well attended throughout the year,
and the interest in the work of the Le-
gion was enthusiastic
As a part of the usual work of the or
ganization during last winter, twenty-four
families, embracing over 100 persons. were
provided with necessary provisions; twelve
families were supplied with Christmas din
ners, and employment was secured for six
ty-two persons, while clothing was fur
nished amounting in value to over $75.
Many successful entertainments were Civ
en- for the benefit of the relief fund.
At the breaking out of the war with
Spain the Legion became an auxiliary of
the Red Cross, and as such had many du
ties to perform. The hospitals at Camp
Alger, Dun Loring, Fort Myer, the Arse
nal, Fort Washington and Fort Sheridan
were provided with many needed delica-
cies, and reading matter was supplied TO
the camps and hospitals at all these points
and at Chickamauga, Tampa and Santiago,
as well as to soldiers travelling through the
city on trains.
On the goth of May the Legion present
ed the First Regiment District of Colun-
bia Volunteers with their regimental col
ors and thereafter looked after the inter-
ests of the regiment wherever they were.
On their return a temporary home was
provided for the members of the regiment
who had no homes in this vicinity during
their furlough of sixty days and 15S of the
homeless boys were lodged, fed and pro-
vided with medical attendance and medi-
cines.
AS part of the unusual work, 1,S00 fan
mel bandages, 200 mosquito nets, IS Il
dozen wash cloths, and $50 pajamas were
made and 159 soldiers passing through our
city were provided with lodging, meats
and lunches to take with them on trains,
and lunches were also supplied to needy
soldiers on trains passing through the city
The year was the most successful and
busy in the history of the Legion and more
than 1000 was expended for relief dur
ing Mrs. Calver's term of office as its pres
ident.
