Some Things To Be Thankful For

The farms and factories Of Kansas
are pHing up wealth at an amazing
rate, From below ground 20 times
the output of mineral wealth is being
pumped up or hoiSted to the surface
than was being raised a few years ago.
Within two years over loo new banks,
exclusive. OF national banks, have be-
gun business In the state; the devel.
opment Of the gas and oil field is being
followed by an industrial activity
hitherto unknown TO Kansas; and the
farmer, owing to the diversity Of crops
from which he can choose, was never
more independent Of favorlng seasons
aad was never so uniformly prosper.

would bring sum OF money which
II divided equally among the heads of
families, In that county, would In
crease the bank roll OF each by $1,000;
or divided on per capita basis would
give S400 to each man, woman and
child In Its borders. Reckoning things
the same way, the people Of another
Kansas county have cleaned up 800
apiece this year, babies included.
Farms which have paid for the land
with one crop are common, and those
that have paid for it two or three
times over with single crop are not
rare. The Kansas people have 500,
100000 In bank subject to check, beside
many times this amount invested.
And these are after all only q few of
the things Kansas has to be thank full
for.-Mall and Breeze.
