SILVER SERVICE ON SHOW.
That of Battleship Kansas Up to the
Standard.

The magnificent banquet service of
solid silver which the state purchased
at an expense of $4,000 for the battle
ship Kansas, is now on exhibition at

unpacked Friday by Edward Vail of
Wichita, and placed in the big glass
case which has been prepared for 1t.
The service comes up fully to its ad-

and appropriate, and reflects credit
upon Gorham, the manufact urer, and
upon Edward Vail of Wichita, who
took the contract from the state for
furnishing the service. The feature OF
the service is the magnificent etching
of the state capital building which APP

shading of a pen-and-ink drawing, and
yet is cut so deeply into the silver that
it presents the appearance of an en-
bossing This work was done by a for
mer Kansas man named Charles
Reach. who at one time worked for
Mr.Vail at Wichita, and who now is
employed by the Gorham people This
etching is worked into the silver with
acid. and hence does not present the
hard lines of an engraving. A similar
etching appears on one side of the gil
gantic punch bowl, while on the other
side of the punch bowl, is an etching
of the battleship. The principal dec
Grafton of the service is heavy uncon-
ventionalized sunfowers. worked out
in bas-relief.
The interior of the punch bowl and
cups are lined with gold, as are also
the four bonbon dishes. There are
thirty-f1ve pieces in the service. includ-
ing mahogany silver mounted cigar
case. The silver weighs 400 ounces
which at market prices is worth
$3.50.

has refused $1,000 for the crop on the
trees, the buyer to pick, pack and market
the fruit. This is probably the best REQ.
ord from irrigated orcharding reported
from any section of the state.
One of the interesting features connected
with the big pear crop is the story OF in
crease in land values. The man making
the offer for that crop formerly owned
the land now planted to pear trees. He
sold it for 500 an acre. thinking that q
good bargain had been made. and the pur-
chaser pinned his faith to fruit grow !ng
Now the returns from one crop are equal
TO ten times the first cost OF the land,
And yet that story is merely one of the
many wonderful records being made by
fruit growers in the various irrigated dis
tricts of the state. 1t simply demon
strates the fact that there IS more money
for the farmer and fruit grower than In
any other legitimate field of industry.
