Mr.. O'Bleniss, editor of the
Clafiin Clarion, is also trustee of
Independendent township, and
has made a personal visit to
every farm in his township. He
makes some figures on the wheat
crop now being gathered in Bar
ton county, as follows:
Independent township has a
wheat acreage this year of
1903 acres. 1t is not so
heavy as last year SO far as
straw goes, but the berry is
equally as good if not better,
and at an average of Is bushels,
which is a reasonable estimate,
will amount to 104, ,152 bushels,
or a little more than III bushels
for every man, woman and child
in the township. Logan town
ship has II, $40 acres and a
population of 422, which by the
same estimate will give every
individual in the township a
fraction over 21S bushels per
head. There are 21 townships
in the county that has prospects
equally as good, and the grand
total shows 54,211 acres sown
to wheat, which at an estimated
average of 1S bushels would
figure the 1901 crop at 1876
79S bushels. According to Sec.
Cobun's latest reports, there is
but one county in the state that
has more acres than Barton.
Sumner county beats us in point
of acress, but our average con-
dition is 8 points better than
that of Sumner; and when one
remembers that Sumner county
is almost a third larger than
Barton, it really leaves Barton
the banner wheat county of the
state.

EVERY morning during


EVERY morning during the
corn plowing season, the Kansas
farmers go into a corn field as
large as the whole state of New
Jersey; every noon during the
harvest, the harvesters come to
dinner from a wheat field of
200, 600 acres, more than all the
state of Delaware; and every
night Mary calls the cattle home
from a pasture larger than
Pennsylvania. Once called a
desert, the state is now a garden.
The mustang is succeeded by a
Percheron. The buffalo has
abandoned the prairies to the
ShOrthOrn and the Hereford.
Corn tassles where the Sioux and
the Shawnee danced. Wheat
grows over the old prairie dog
village. The sun that crept over
wigwam and cottonwood shines

LIFE is a mixture of sunshine
and shadow, an amalgamation
OF gladness and gloom, says an
exchange. The heart that beats
wild and high with pleasure
today will tomorrow throb with
pain, and tears that trickled
down our cheeks are evaporated
in the CHEEKY warmth of our
smiles. Today the baby in the
cradle kicks up its heels and
chuckles with innocent mirth,
but tonight it will be full of
paregoric and collie. The school
boy gets a licking and goes Off
to bed to dream of firecrackers.
A few years are added to his life
and he begins to raise boils and
goes to parties with a sweet
young thing who has tight shoes
and a light heart. Time hurries
him on and ere he is aware of il
he has wife and the dyspepsia
and at last, when he reaches the
western side of the hill, he finds
that his closing days are crown
ed with grandchildren and rheu
matism.-LaCrosse Chieftain.

WHEN the Great Bend Com
mercial Club meets, a week from
next Monday-July Sth-there
are several things they should
discuss. For instances: The
Morrison house now practically
useless, would make a splendid
Sanitarium, and there ought to
be capital that could be inter-
ested in establishing such an in
stitutiOn. Then, the matter OF
an auditorium or convention
hall, could be proftably taken
up. The advisability Of uniting
efforts with the Barton County
Fair Association to make the
Fair this fall a crackerjack is
another matter that the Club
members could interest them
selves in with advantage to the
city. Should the Club take hold
OF any one or all of these mat
ters and push them to a success
full ending the members would
not be subject to any more criti-
cism from outside parties who
seek to be fault-finders.
