ment of Kansas. Men who had
never MIXED COW, or har.
messed n horse, or handled n
pltchfork, went from the cities to
Kansas ranches. Neighbors were
distant. Money was all soon spent
for n small house. Not enough
corn was raised the first year TO
feed the team. Next year lust be-
fore what promised bountiful
harvest the hot winds burned mn
the entire crop. Such circum.
stances demanded heroism, espec-
tally when your wife's people
were writing her to come back
home. Then sometimes the grass.
hoppers would in n few hours de-
stroy every vestige of vegetation
But these trials developed the grit
and manhood which has helped
build Kansas to what it is. Pleas.
ant memories of the Grange were
recalled, and n tribute paid to the

should work together to protect
their interests.
