Richfield, stopping ct Hugo en- route,
where the governor spoke to a large
crowd at the court house. The governor
is making a great impression in these
southwest counties and there are now
plenty of people on hand to testify that
the sentiment is three to one for the
governor against all opposition. There
can be no doubt that the governors

The weather was delightful Bright
sunshine and a warm wind blowing
across the plains made the long auto
trip a ride of pleasure. The roads are
like asphalt pavement except stretch

did his part putting his shoulder to the

out and walked as cheerfully across
the sand hills as her optimistic father.
Indeed, she wanted to help push the

At a Quaker school House.
The feature of the day, however, was
not the scheduled meeting at Hugoton
or the gathering at this place where
the governor talked to a fair sized
audience in the church building, but
the exten1poraneOuS gathering at lit
tie school house in Stevens county some
fifteen miles west of Liberal This
meeting was arranged for after the
governor arrived in Liberal. Some one
mentioned to the governor the fact that
there was a Quaker settlement between
Liberal and Hugoton and that one of
the elders of the church was in town
and anxious to have the governor stop
there and speak while on his way 10
from Quaker stock himself and he went
out and hunted up the old Quaker and
told him he would surely stop and talk
to all who cared to come and hear him,
even if he had to miss his dinner to do
so.
The governor arrived at the settle
ment at IL o'clock in the morning and
found at least $50 people gathered at
the school house. These Quakers are a
distinct type of people who are more
apt to move the world than to be
moved by the world. The men have
strong, stern faces and are of large and
hardy physique. The women are deep
breasted, with patience stamped at the
corners of their mouths and charity in
their eyes. Some of them are very
pretty and wear Shaker bonnets.
The governor was in his glory. He
opened his heart to these Quaker folks
and told them the story of his life. He
talked about his own early struggles
and success as q railroad contractor.
He told about how he came to enter
politics and when he first entered the
state house as member of the legis-
lature from Douglas county. How the
desks turned round when he got up
to talk. How he found over 400 en-
ployes connected with the Legislative
session, and 100 of them were super
intendents of ventilation which is to
say their duties were to open and close
the windows. The existence of this
army of employees. he said, decided

Rural Carriers

Some farmers living along the
lines of rural routes have contribu-
ted bushel or so OF corn to the
carrier. This is a suggestion that
might we'll be acted upon by the
patrons of every rural route. The
carriers have government job,
but it ia by no means "private
snap" It takes good deal OF man
agement to make both ends meet
when they are obliged to keep two
horses, live in town and buy all the
necessary provisions at the market
price. The carries of our country
have gone over their routes during
the muddy weather at great in
convenience, and are always faith
tut in the performance of their du-
ties. A bushel of corn or so given
to the carrier would hardly be
missed by the farmer, but it would
be great saving in the expense of
horse feed and the generous act
would certainly be appreciated by
the faithful mail man.

AS Audubon County is unable to
furnish enough teachers for all of
her schools we have been sending
into other Counties that have an
over supply of teachers and into
other states but still we are short
of teachers. Some of our townships
are paying fifty dollars month for
First grade Certificate. Others are
paying forty-6ve. and forty-e1ght
for Second. Two are paying forty
for Spring and Fall but higher wa
ges for winter. Should this pa
per fall into the hands of any per-

teachers of good moral character,
would confer a favor upon us by
either addressing the teacher or
