the St James Hotel where an elab-

Collegiate buildings are fine struct-

They have been gathered at great
expense and risk and yet because the
state is so reluctant to make
appropriations, those same valu-
able and rare collections of plant

MY DEAR Sir:
How are you this Sunday morn

Thpsday noon, found our cousin and
family we'll and happy with lots Of
business but little short ON help.
There is a big contrast between
here and there. You know that
there was the most snow of the sea-
son on the ground when we left there
Tuesday noon but the snow grew
thinner as we came south, and at
Kansas City there was only little
on the north side of hills and as we
came west it disappeared altogether
and soon the green wheat fields took
the place Of snow. And the farther
west we came the more green the
fields and warmer the climate until
we arrived at Anthony and found
the grass nicely stan tied, peach
trees in bloom tulips in
blossom and everything taking
on dressing Of green. The con-
trast was very marked and we be-
lieve, fully appreciated by us north.

what dry but there came a big
thunder storm Wednesday night al

other here last night which will
moisten up the ground and make all
vegetation look greener and prettier
than ever.
