Cleveland Plain Dealer: Only a
few years back the country was In
formed that Kansas was going to the
bowwows: that her farmers were
either emiqraIing or becoming ten
ants and that things were In bad
way generally. But transformation
has been wrought. Kansas not only
has no money shortage but Is and has
been actually'loaning money to the
east. She has In her national banks
43 per cent. OF her deposits and 1t can
not be loaned at home even at 3 pei
cent. Mortgages, once thick as grass
hoppers, are wellnlgh unknown, and
the state is buying more OF what a
few years ago would have been called
luxurleS than any other common
wealth OF the same population and
area.
