: A Kansas Relic Adyertiscs,

In a copy Of the Florence, Kansas,
Bulletin the Intelligencer finds mark
ed notice and Is only too happy to COM
ply with the request contained in the
closing sentence by publishing a sum-
mary. 1t is to the effect that "W. V.
Smith. living south Of Florence claims
to have the longest whiskers in the
world and they are still growing. Mr..
Smith is ambitious and desires to travel
with a circus. He would like to know
II anybody knows one who can match
his whiskers. Mr.. Smith would be
thankful to the newspapers II they
would take up his beard and discuss It..
His postofliee address Is Florence, Kan
sas, and he will gladly answer any cor
respondent. His whiskers measure al
ready five feet In length. Exchanges
will please copy.
Kansas Is noted for the large growth
OF Its products. We have been told In
song and story that In Kansas every
thing grows very large. and ii is the
pride Of the people that Its crops are
enormous. Potatoes grow very large
In Kansas" so do corn and wheat and
men, and several crops OF Popullst ma
jorities have been OF great magnitude,
though OF late years the soil for this
product has been somewhat exhausted.
In those days we heard a great deal
about the whisker Industry. and It Is
possible that Mr.. Smith Is one Of the
relics of that departed period in the
history OF Kansas. For this reason Mr..
Smiths attraction at a circus would be
enhanced. The fvcfoot set OF whiskers
would have a double significance as
typical of the productive power of Kan
sas and relic OF defunct political
craze.
