Dry Weather Makes Good Roads.

One of the things which Kansas has
been long on this fall and winter is
good roads and fine weather The
lack of moisture has made conditions
bad for crops, but it has made the best
of roads and it has been an easy task
for farmers to market grain and feed
cattle. The automobile owners have
had an inning this fall and winter such
rs they never enjoyed before. The
roads are said to be in excellent con-
dition in every part of the country
and there has been scarcely a week
during the last three months when
the motor car had to be put on the
shelf. The comparison between the
roads and weather now and year ago
at this time is probably great as
has ever occurred

Mxsterious Eissures.

Erasmus Haworth, of the Univer-
sity of Kansas made an investigation
of some peculiar and large assures
which have lately appeared in the
earth on the L. E. Waite ranch, 20
miles southwest of Dodge City. The
professor was unable, after his cur
sorry examination, to determine the
cause of the phenomena. He will make
a more extended inquiry within the
next few weeks. The largest of the
assures is about 800 yards long and
three feet wide. Another is about SO
yards long and two feet across at
the widest part. A lariat 40 feet long
failed to touch the bottom of the
opening.

He was. however, totally unprepared

such a way that it left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-

by an old lady, who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-

she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
