fastest pitchers in state college circles.

to more than its seating capacity nefore
the first notes of the opening chorus
sounded.
On the stage the 100 graduates were
seated and the dainty white frocks of the
young girls, with the profusion OF red
roses which they carried made a very
pretty effect. picture that will linger in
the memory of those present for long
time TO come.
Under the direction of Miss Jessie L.
Clark. the class chorus sang Veaxie' 5
beautiful spring song, the harmonious
blending of the young voices giving the
audience a rare treat which was ac-
knowledged by a round of vigorous ap-
plause.
At the close Rev. Smyser, of the Dodge
Avenue Methodist church, made most
appropriate prayer, after which the class
gave another song, We Rock Away on
the Rillows Cay by Bachelor. which
was most enjoyable and heartily applaud

Ex-Governor w. F. Stanley, who was
to address the class, was then introduced
by Superintendent r. F. Knight Mr.

the ex-governor. ION the presenting of
such a magnificent class for graduation
from the eighth grade of its grammar

'I am going to talk 10 you about dill

quotation which reads: 'Seest thou the
man who is diligent in his business: he
shall stand before kings It is the dill

girl. or the man. is diligent, faithful and
attentive he cannot fail to succeed. His

FARM BRINGS $4,000
Land Nets Owner More Than
$500 Per Acre.
J. 7. GILES SELLS OUT
A. J. DadiSman of Colorado
Invests in Kansas.

j. T. Giles sold his farm Of 1922 acres
six miles north of this city between the
two rivers TO A. ]. Dadisman of Den
yer. Colorado, for s16.oo9 yesterday. The
farm, which is all bottom land, is one
of the finest places in this country. 1t
is we'll improved and is sowed with
alfalfa Mr.. Dadisman, the purchaser of
the farm, came here some two or three
weeks ago from Denver ard upon first
seeing Wichita he felt as though he want
ed to invest in some property here or In
the country surrounding the city Yezter-
day the deal for the fine farm was closed
and Mr.. Dadisman became the owner of
one of the most valuable pieces of land
in this section of the state.
The land brought something over Sl05
per acre AT present the major portion
Of the farm is sown TO alfalfa and the
crop is growing splendidly. There is
every indication that there viii be an
enormous harvest therefrom this year
which will net him a safe and sure profit
of so per acre. Considering this matter
alone one can readily see that this will
make him more than ample interest on
Mr. Dadisman Will in all probability
make the farm his home For a number
Of years he has been in the restaurant
business in Denver. He searched the
country over in several different states
hoping to find a locality or city wherein
he could in vest his money with an as
surance that he would receive full value
on every cent placed into deal. When
he came to Wichita the ctr- struck him
as being the most promising center of
industry and commerce among all the
great cities of the southwest. Having
seen much and considered the PROPOSE
ton thoroughly he finally concluded that
there was no part of Kansas and no
other state in which he better hoped 10
realize something from his money than
in Sedgwick county. For these and many
other reasons Mr.. Dadisman put $4,000
in farm near this city.
There is something astonishing about
the valuation of farm lands around Wich-
ita today and what they were five years
ago Nj. a. Rogers, who owns an excel
lent farm two and one-half miles north
of the place that Mr.. Dadisman bought,
was purchased by the present owner
something over two years ago for $50 per
acre. Today Mr.. Rogers is offered an
even 500 per acre and he has absolutely
refused the price. This vast difference
within the brief length of few years
time is a fact worth considering. 1t
shows that this country is in a prosperous
condition. 1t proves that the land is fer
tile and productive.
Reports from other parts of Sedgwick
county demonstrate that farms have a,
vanced within the last five years almost
double their value. With a large wheat
harvest this year the valuation of land
viii continue TO climb up and in the
course of two years more there will be
another twenty-five per cent advance.

HEAVILY MULCTED
For Attempting to Ship Game Out OF

MoRGANTowN, Nov. ao,-Mr.
Chas. Walls, or Pisgah, is all bow
ed down. with grief but his pocket
book is light hearted and free from
incumbrance, being over $500 to
the bad. This came about through
some keen detective work on the
part of Game Warden White.
Walls was hauled before Squire
Hays on Saturday and fined $500
and costs in ten cases Of violating
game laws. Ten other cases were
dropped on motion of the state after
Walls agreed to plead guilty on the
rest.
Some days ago the word was sent
to Mr.. White that Walls. intended
shipping a lot of pheasanis to Pits.

shipment was to made immediately

AN EYE-OPENIR.

We think the Journal unfair in
characterizing Leader Shaw "raS
dodger." 1t would appear thai
Shaw's property is assessed on an
average with other property in The
town and county.
When the Journal points out thai
Leader Shaw has some of his none,
IN Government bonds 1t is treadlne
on dangerous ground. 1t will be
an eye opener to the farmers and
small property holders who can moi
escape the taxation under the new
tax laws. II is an acknowledge
ment Of the Journal that the money.
ed men of the State Of West Vir.
ginia will put their money in bond,
and escape the new tax law. But
how about the farmers and laborinp
men and other small property hold
ersF Is there any way for them to
escape ? We repeat, it is not fair
for the Journal to single out Leader
Shaw and make personal attack
on him for dong that which the
managers of the Republican party
in West Virginia have been doing
for years past. They are all wealthy
men and they have their money
largely invested in Govrnment
bonds. They tell the farmers and
the workmen that the new tax laws
are such good laws that they will
reduce their taxes one third. Let
US be honest about this matter and
not condemn some neighbor for do
ing that which the wealthy men Of
the State are guilty Of
The farmers and small property
holders will find out in due course
Of time in whose interest the new
laws we're originally intended 10
