Today's beautiful allotment pour
ed from the sluices Of the heavens
insures for the Panhandle country
crops Of small grain heretofore un.
excelled in its history from the
standpoint of yield and quality. The
rain came at the proper time, the
winter wheat is just at the point OF
heading out and ample moisture al
this time means full heads, perfect
grain and good height of straw to en-
able binding of the grain. The spring
wheat, oats, barley, rye, spells, etc.
are also provided with the necessary
moisture to grow and mature the
entire crop.

ing made the statement that ANA
rillo counting houses ranked superior
to those of his own city from the
stan f0oint OF deposits and profits,

the honor of being the money center

The Wichita delegation told us
that they had lost their orator, that
he had fallen by the wayside some
where along the line. From the
tenor and the mastery manner in
which the various members of the
delegation handled their subjects be-
fore the meeting last night. 1t would
seem that they could have lost a few
more orators and still be able to hold
their own before any assembly. The
whole aggregation seems to be made
up OF natural born orators.

with an epidemic OF "Directolre"

Writing to the Chicago Daily News
on the effort to suppress the opium
traffic in China, George Woodhead
makes the following quotations from
Picking edict on the subjects This
Is a question as to whether our coun-
try is to be strong one or a weak
one in the future, and whether our
subjects are to be strong and healthy
or weak and shortlived; hence It is
important that all our officials, high
and low, in Picking and the provinces
should use their best endeavors to
eradicate the evil. No matter how
hard and difficult the task may be.
we must succeed in entirely eradicat-
ing the opium habit within the limit
OF time set by imperial edict. Let
there be no evasion of duties, else the
culprits will receive condlgn punish
