Her Charms and Advantages-Oppo
tunities for Investment

Wheat lands. corn lands, alfalfa
lands, timothy, clover and blue grass
lands. grazing lands, fruit lands, gar
den lands. mineral lands, oil and gas
lands. salt lands, gypsum lands, tim
Der lands, beet lands. coal lands. in
fact Kansas has all kinds of productive
lands within its border.
With the above qualifications there
is but one definition to the term Kan
sas, that is to be possessed with pluck,
/ industry and perseverance,. Pluck for
grit, industry for push, and persever-
ance for achievement

on Kansas soil. ii has been marked as
an ingenious spot The space of so
years has shown the world how keen
the Kansans are to mature the quail
fications of a great people Folks that
are common and hoSDitable. at the
same time clever. in fashion and up
to date in progress
The Kansan has never been known
10 take a backward step whether in
war or peace, always advancing.
Though he has in the earlier history
of the state met with perpleXlt1es,
grasshoppers, drouth and hot winds,
curious organizations appearing daft
in purpose, and many other obstruct-
ing features; Notwithstanding he went
right on trusting for the rain-which
generally made its appearance before
all was lost
But these circumstances exist no
more. For a good many years all Of
these Derplexities from a climatic
standpoint have passed away; and a
more advantageous condition came
with a healthy, substantial prosperity
to the extent that it cannot be doubted
that Kansas is the most prosperous
state in the union. and yet IN It's IN
fancy, as compared with some of the
older states.
It is hardly necessary to relate some
of the numerous advantages enjoyed
by the Kansan. The capability of
various and extensive crops, and live
stock production, causes the farmer
and merchant to smile alike.
Every kansan is proud Of the rich
prairies, the wood lands. hills and
dales the mines the oil and gas the
salt. the large beds of gypsum, the
marls, the manufactures. packing
house industries. the railroads, cities
and towns. the best roads. the school
houses and colleges, both public and
private the churches and Sunday
schools with their powerful influence
for morality, the state industrial and
/ charitable institutions. the stalwart
men and banSOme women. beautlful
maidens, and lovely babies, the rivers
and streams, the sunshiny spring and
( breezy summer, fair and tempered
autumn, mild and short seasoned win

All these chara racteristics create such
admiration in the heart of the KAN
san to enable him to say. that he lives
in the best state in the Union.
