Name the Farms.

Many farmers Of Dickinson county
have shown that they have correc,
conception Of rural life in the naming
Of their farms and dairy ranches.
These farms are owned by representa-
tive citizens and the names are sug-
gestive OF happy and conteuted peo-
pie. Most titles are Of poetic ma
ture and indicate that the owners are
students Of more than ordinary abil-
ity. The names also suggest the To-
cations and describe in q word the
beauties and attractions Of the place
and its surroundings.
Naming the farms aud building
them up to become ideal places is Of
greater value to locality than one
other publicity devices. Every man
who owns a nice dairy ranch or fruit
or grain farm and has his own printed
stationery with the name Of his home
will find that it carries with his place
an individuality that cannot be elm
mated or forgotten by correspondents.
Many have photos Of their homes
made into suitable cuts and printed
on the letter heads. These 60 about
the world in private and business
correspondence and continually ad-
vertise the homes and the locality in
which the owners are interested.
The man who makes his home and
farm his castle Of future residence is
q substantial citizen. He pins his
faith to the country and sets forth his
works to toll in an appreciative way.
There is an atmosphere Of permanency
about such farms that lends enchant-
ment to the agricultural occupation.
The children are better pleased with
nice homes Of distinctive titles. They
recognize the Importance Of keeping |
up the places and the future value Of
maintaining the popularity won by
heir fathers. The dairy, the fruit
arm. the grain farm and poultry To-
'ation should have an appropriate
lame and be recognized for the hon
'sty and intelligence Of the owner.

A Week at the Fair.

J.E.Junkin Of the Sterling Bulletin,
who went to the Worlds fair with the
editors, figures that 1t needn't cost o
Kansan nor an Oklahoman more than
$42 to go to the fair, stay week and
come home again. He calculates the
railway fare from Sterling. but 1t will
average about the same from other
points. In The Bulletin he says:
Our advice is for everyone who can
afford it, to attend the fair. The
impressions one gets from q casual
look around 10 worth the trip, but for
the person who can take enough time
to study out the various features it
will be liberal education.
How much will it COST" asks some
one, "to spend week therep" That
will depend upon the person. Here is
an estimate based upon experience:
A 16-day railroad ticket will cost
$17 from Sterling. Rooms can be OBJ
tanned for$ day per person. Meals
will probably average IS cents each.
Incidentals could be kept down
to 80 cents day. OF course person
could spend just as much as they
cared to for souvenirs and extras.
1t would figure out about this way:
Railroad fare ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .s17'OO
Room for six days..................... 900
Meals for eight days, including trip
back and fourth at 81 per day.. 800

themselves to a smaller number Of

should see such places as the Irish
Village, Battle Abbey. Hagen bach's,
the Philippine Village, the Boer War,

A Rubber Famine.

From the Hartford Times.
What is the world going to do to secure
an adequate supply of rubber? The grow
ing demand for this material in the fabrI-
cation of tires for automobiles is great
enough probably to account for the rise
in the price of rubber which has taken
place during the past year 1t is certain
that this demand will soon be much greater
than 1t is now. But the use OF rubber fer
a great variety of purposes is constantly
increasing. The American rubber shoe is
rapidly making its way all over the world.
1t is in demand now in many countries
where it was unknown five years ago. For
electrical Insulation, also. rubber is con-
stantly needed in increasing quantity.
