During these 20 years the popula-
ton Of the county has averaged about
10000, making an income from the
soil Of 5000 per capita, or &ll6 a
year for each resident. Put another
way It is $ll9 per acre for every acre
Of soil in Dickinson county,
1t is doubtful II any county in Kan
sas can show better record. 1t is
this kind Of prosperity that makes
high prices for land and they are en-
tirely justified. A soil and climate
that will produce this amount Of
wealth through period in which is

Of stability that are not to be despised

ArbOrday At the G. h. 5.

The pupils and teachers of the
Gardnerville public schools observed
Arbor day by planting trees, clearing
the yard of rubbish and otherwise
identifying the appearance of the
school grounds. Some time was spent
also in the consideration of the State
game laws, in order that the pupils
may not be guilty of fishing or hunt
ing out of season. The day was
not generally observed in other parts
of the town. because as rule Arbor
Day is set aside on a date too late for
general tree planting. Many trees
were this year planted about town
and throughout the valley, but its
most cases they were set out before
the recurrence of Arbor Day.

and on bended knee and with tears
streaming from his eyes, in the name
of his wife and children implored of
the Judge forgiveness.
He was taken to Genoa shortly after
by Deputy Constable Fish and on the
way caused that officer considerable
trouble. He would persist in drop
ping his hat and obliging his guard
ian to turn back after it Tiring of
this and when within mile of Ge-
noa he suddenly turned on the off
Ger and asked him if he saw death be

ply that his vision was burdened with
nothing of so CHASTITY nature. Thorn

tempted to seize Fish by the throat.
The latter thwarted his good inten

prisoner who after being choked
until he was black in the fee,
promised to be good and few NOM
ents latter was safely lodged in the
county bastile. He was given his
preliminary hearing before Judge
