The snow which was reported
in these columns last week did a
great deal of good among the
farming class as it melted slowly
and all of the moisture went INTO
the ground. Inquiry among the
farmers ELECTS the fact that
wheat and oats will not suffer for
rain for at least six weeks more.
This insures a good crop of
wheat and fall oats because we
always have plenty of rain IN
April. Farmers are busy break
ing their old land and sod for the
spring crops of corn, katfir and
milo maize and it is thought that
there will be a forty per cent
increase in land in cultivation IN
this county this year over that of
last. Verify Randall county is
coming to the front rapidly.

FIRE IN P0sToFflCE QUICKLY QUEhCHsD
Department Confines Flames to One Room in
Basement-POpe and Brother Lose $780,

Fire of unknown origin last
night destroyed approximately
800 worth of property for Pope
4 Brother in the basement of
the postoffice building. No in
surance was carried. The goods
consisted almost entirely of fire
works carried over from the hol-
idays. No one had been in the
room for three hours previous to
the blaze and the door was
locked.
There lies the mystery as to
how the fire could have occurred.
Fred Pope, out of considera-
ton for the prompt work of the
volunteer department, gave a
check for SD to the tireboyS.
They work of the tiremen was
quick and effective, combining the
flames to the apartment in which
they originated. Daily Panhan-
die.
