GREAT Is KANSAS.

rF.rom the Chicago Inter Ocean.1
When it became evident that the
drought had greatly injured the corn
crop many eastern communities listen
ca for a chorus of woe from Kansas
But as the summer draws to a close
no special complaints are heard from
Kansas. The state press has calmly
discussed ways and means of providing
substitutes for the missing corn.
In the current Review OF Reviews,
Professor Frank w Blaclmar of the
Kansas state university gives some of
the reasons why Kansas is not COM
planning over the worst drought since
1860 The loss is certainly serious. In
stead Of the 134 600 900 bushels Of corn
Of 1900. Kansas will have this year not
over $4,000, 900. Moreover, other forage
crops have suffered correspondingly-
But Kansas has nearly 40.o0o,o0o
bushels of old corn in store. Then the
state has achieved so much better rela-
tions with its railways that they have
voluntarily offered to bear their share
Of the common loss. If there is corn
to be had anywhere" Vice President
Morton of the Santa Fe publicly an
nounces, we will be glad to haul it into
Kansas at reduced rates to provide
feed for live stock
And Kansas has the means in hand
to prevent the corn shortage from eaus-
ing any great injury to her stock indus
try, whose products last year were
worth over s67 100000 In her banks
are deposits Of S70. 900 900 Of her people 8
savings Nearly all the mortgages that
were such a terror in 1893 have been
paid And Kansas wheat this year is
worth fully $4,000. 600 on the farm. or
over IS. .O00, 600 more than in the banner
year, 1900. In fact, Professor Black
mar conservatively estimates the value
of Kansas farm products even in this
drought year at S145.000, 900, or 5000 .00o
more than they We're in the good year
1897
Furthermore-and this is a fact not
realized by older eastern states-the
average of intellectual tension is prob
ably higher in Kansas than in any other
community of the same size in tbs
world. Her people are born zealots
When they make up their minds thai
the nation is going to perdition they be
lieve it utterly. But when they are once
convinced that they and the nation are
prosperous they hold that faith witt
equal fervor. In the prosperity doctrine
they have been confirmed by half de
cade's experience Hence matter o
one seasons drought though it sweel
away two-thirds of their corn, canno
materially disturb their serenity
Great is Kansas, when she rebel
against facts and when she doesn't, bu
especially when she doesn't. For the
no people in the world. accept III for
tune with greater hope. cheerfuiaess
and equanimity.

JENNlNGs OBSERVATIONS.
Compares August Weather With
Other Years.

Weather Observer T. B. Jennings was
looking over his records today and dis
covered the following interesting facts:
That the mean temperature for the
past month was 79 degrees. That the
hottest day in August was the 25th
when the mercury scaled the dizzy
heights of the tube and reached 105 1-lO
and that the coolest day was the 4th,
when it was only so degrees.
Comparing these figures with the past,
he finds that August, 1900, was 1 degree
hotter so being the mean temperature e
for the month. The lowest August rec
ord heretofore was that of 1889 when AZ
was the mean temperature. OF course
he admits that the 1O5 1-1O degrees reg
istered on the 25th of last August was
not mean temperature in one sense OF
the word, but Will not deny that there
are other meanings to the word which
fitted the day.
He finds that the highest temperature
Of any August heretofore was IN 1895,
when the mercury reached 104.8, when
YOU see leaves last mon at the top OF
the list by three-tenths degrees
The lowest August day heretofore was
in 1891 40 degrees being the figure
Now as to rainfall Last month was
not the dryest August on record, It was
REGISTERED at 167 inches, against 0.42
inches in 1894 The greatest August rain
fan of the past was in 1855 when the
skies opened and 7.25 inches OF rain fell on
