OVER 100 PER
CENT INCREASE
In Business of Wichita in the
Last Four Years
SHOWN BY FIGURES
Receipts of Post Office as In
diSputable Proof.

There has been over 100 per cent in
crease in the business transacted in
Wichita in the last four years and over
20 per cent IN the last year, according TO
the receipts of the Wichita postoaice. a
better business barometer than this
cannot be found. The amount Of business
transacted in this department Of Uncle
Sans enormous business house increases
and decreases during the dull and lively
months of the year ust as any dry goods
store in Wichita does. That IL is affected
by the same conditions is shown by the
records Of the Office
Four years ago the total receipts of the
postoffice for business done in Wichita
was considerably less than $4,000. This
year, which ends March g. 1868. will
reach s100, 900, according to the receipts for
the last six months. The receipts for this
period reach nearly s5o0OO although it has
peen the dullesg' period of the entire year.
lie total receipts for the last year we're
SIS, $50
The receipts for September, the last

the same month last year were s6,547.
This makes over 20 per cent increase in
the business OF this city in the last year,
as can be proven by working the problem
out In September, 1897, the receipts were
only 1890, but little over half of what
they were this year. For the quarter
ending September 90, 1901, the receipts
were SIS, 81, while those for the last quar-
ter this year were 81, 4s4, showing the
latter greater by 1888. For a period of
six months the increase is over $s.211 the
difference between $4,000. the receipts for
the last six months in this year. and
s29. 7Ss for the same period in 1901.
The natural growth that business as
well as other interests in Wichita have
undergone is well known by all. 1t has
been much talked of and these figures
prove the statements made to have been
very modest These figures are indisput-
able and show to what mighty extent the
town will reach in a business way In a
few years.
There is not an interest in the town
that has not taken part in this growth.
Tho wholesale. retail, manufacturing and
educational factors have each added their
quota to these gratifying figures. The
population is more than 30 900 today and 1t
has been shown by figures that this will
be doubled before many years.

LUCK IN

As a general proposition we do not
bell eve that luck has much to do with
mans in life. Occasionally
we find one who out of some careless
indifferent investment reaps a large
reward. Even he is not always a
lucky man, because not infrequently
his last stage is worse than the first.
Sometimes the personalities, the tact,
or what not Of a man brings to him
success where others have failed. In
business and in the professions these.
may be made to take the place Of real
ability, and we call the possessorg Of.
these qualities a lucky fellow. It is
different on the farm, where a man is
dependent, notyupon the good graces Of
others, but upon himself. Nothing
but cold business will pass muster
there. As the seasons come and go
unless the farmer is up and doing al
most to the very minute, he must soon
step down and out.
As a man sows so shall he reap, is
true in more senses than one. The
slightest carelessness. or indifference
manifest in preparing q seed bed or
sowing any kind Of a crop cannot be
corrected later. If an individual in.
a community raises his eighty and
ninety bushel7 crops, his success is no
way attributed to luck, oven by his
bungling neighbors. Good seed sown
on a we'll prepared seed bed is as sure
to produce a profitable crop nine years
out of ten in this western country as
winter is to follow autumn.
The same memorable laws are at
work in the live stock end of agricul-
ture. Good animals are not reared
by chance. Unless improved, blood is
introduced into herds and focks from
time to time there is sure to be rever.
sion in the direction Of the scrub
form. Meat made on a scrub is not
worth within two OF three cents pei
pound Of that on a well-bred animal,
,and4yet the food to produce the pound
may have cost the same in each case
Those who topped the market at thu
large centres during the past season
came by their prices, not by accident
but because they had the goods. Anf
SO it is true in every department o
the farm. The man who does hi
work thoughtfully and in season viii
