Sherman county joins the Colorado
line and is IN the seeoad tier Of counties
from Nebraska. 1t contains 1,OSO square
miles, and has a population Of 1926. It
vas organized September 20, 1886 Gov.
John A. Martin appointed the following
commissioners: L. J. Gaudy, o. d.
Dickey, R R Edwards
1t is conceded that the first homes es-
tablished in the county were those Of
James Bray and Mr. Darling IN the
spring Of 1880. The soil Of the county
is of a dark brown loan The surface
soil Is Of various thicknesses, but the
average thickness is from three to five
feet. Beneath this is a light ehalky
soil from % to 100 feet in depth. There
Is 20 hsrdpan or gumbO and no alkaline
sinks IN the county and the soil is mar
velOusly productive under favorable cir
cumstances. Good land can be bought
cheap. ranging in price from 3 to so
per acre.
The county reports 1879 acres of
winter wheat, 1929 Of spring wheat,
17,4I7 Of millet and s.163 acres of sor-
ghum.
Water can be secured at a depth of
from 10 to 60 feet. The supply is abund-
ant and quality splendid-clear as a
crystal. The. county has within its Dor
ders the north and south forks Of the
Beaver, the north and south forks Of the
Sapps, the Prairis Dog and the north
fork Of the Smokey Hill river. All but
the latter are tributaries Of the Repub.
lican river which embraces a rich agri-
cultural area of Kansas.
Though one Of the youngest counties
Sherman is thoroughly abreast Of the
times in educational matters. The coun
ty has 50 school districts with a popula-
ton Of ], go of school age.
There was in 1901, s16,55799 expended
for school purposes, and the average
salary paid to teachers was s33 so pei
month.
The climate is healthful and is es
pecially adapted to those suffering from
bronchial and pulmonary troubles. Tn,
winters are mild and the farms can b,
operated nearly the year around. Ow
ing to the rarity of the atmosphere the
extreme heat of summer is not felt as
severely as in the more eastern counties
and the nights are always cool and re
freshing.
The altitude Of Sherman county i
about 3, 800 feet above sea level.
Sherman is prominently a farming
and stock county. The most successful
farmers are those who diversity farmin.
with stock raising. Sheep and cattl
are particularly adapted to this section
of Kansas. The value of animals fat
tened and sold for slaughter last yea
amounted to s5S,O9S and there will b
! 80, IT3 pounds Of wool clipped and sold
1t is admitted by those who have spen
time in Investigating the resources AM
possibilities Of the county that Sherman
offers a fine field for the young farme
who desires to own his own farm an
who does not care to be all his days
renter.

THE HAPPY FILRINOs.

Governor Taft, in his report to con
gress, does not paint tie conditions in
the islands in a very rOseate light. The
cholera in the islands, the failure of
the rice crop, the death of 90 per cent
of the water buffaloes, the deprecia-
ton of silver and the depredatiOns of
the ladrOnes has made life unendur-
able for the peaceful natives. The
governor says that those provinces
which depend on hemp raising are
prosperous and progressive, but with
this exception, the picture he gives Of
conditions in the islands are gloomy
indeed. He says:
Were there prosperous conditions
IN the Philippines it would not be a
troublesome matter to deal with the
ladrOnes, but when want and famiue
are staring people in the face the life

OBLIGATIONS OF WEALTH.
Much Money Carries With it Large Re
sPOnsibiIIty for GOOd-View OF Rich
but Noble Woman.

Miss Helen Miller Gould was recent
Iy asked to say something concerning
the obligations Of wealthy young wo-
men. Her reply was as follows: There
is one obligation upon all persons,
rich or poor. We are required TO do
our utmost to use wisely the gifts
which God has granted US; we are ex-
pected to live for others rather than
for ourselves. The possession of wealth
is an undOubted aid in bringing about
the happiness Of unfortunate ones and
the pOssessOr may reasonably be eX-
pected to carry on a larger work than
the person with very limited means. 1t
is also true, however, that spending
money Is only one way of meeting our
obligations. have known many con
secrated men and women almost pen
niless who carried on a great work for
the Master aud they accomplished
more good than many whose labor
ended with the distribution of wealth.
They used the talents which had been
given them and their hearts interest
was IN what they did.
alt is not enough that We should
distribute aims. We should be care
full that our gifts reach the proper per
sons and are not placed where they
will do more harm than good. Many
we'll meaning people expend theil
money where it really isn't needed
while they ignore the urgent case.
which they might discover before
their very eyes. They are not true K
their obligations They are not com
msnded to distribute money but to d.
good to others and their possession o
wealth should enable them to do gooC
largely. It requires time and stten
ton to use ones gifts to the best effee
and comparatively few are willing t.
give the necessary time. 1t isn't RICH
that We should give to unknown char
ties without Investigation and yet Z
investigate may require many hour
perhaps. That is the hard part. 1
isn't pleasant in The beginning to re
frain from calling on ones friends il
order that we may look into some ap
peal for aid that has been made. Ye
if We make these social calls and ne
glect the call of duty We are not tru
to the obligation to consider other
: before ourselves. We are failing {
make use Of the gifts which God ha
granted Us or our capacity for dom
good. But after q time when We haT
become thoroughly accustomed {
