Western Kansas farmers are plan
ming to get water from below the
ground when they can't get it from
above. Many wells have been sunk
to the inexhaustir-e underflow, in The
last year, for irrigation. Many more
are being planned. With the acreage
of irrigated lands rapidly increasing,
a total crop failure in western Kansas
soon will be impossible.

It must not be supposed that all
plants in their natural state are propa-
gated entirely by seed The wild
strawberry produces runners; the

snap willow loses many live branches,
which serve as cuttings. Many plants
have wholly or partially lost their
ability to produce seed, and depend
upon bulbs, tubers, etc, to perpetu-
ate the species.

And joys undreamt Of by the

The humblest dwelling places

Around the little things of life.
Connected by a thread SO slender,

Which helped to make our hearts
more tender.
Alas how many things in life
Are those Of which we cannot

Actions and words we think our

More full Of love. oh may they be,
Less full Of self as in the past.

More perfect little things at

And don't forget the mistletoe-

'TWould tell of years gone by,
And generations passed away.

OF hunted Soggarth's flight

And Irish Christmas Night.

And in it's ruddy glow
1 still can see two faces dear.
We loved long years ago.
There's Nora baum and blue-eyed
Kate,
Oft made the burden light:
God rest them in IL far off land
This other Christmas Night.
Aastoireen, but you're weeping now,
Sure we are left alone;
Your heart beats for the crathur.
There's grief within my own.
But they are safe from earthly vile
From care and sorrows blight;
Ger you and they'll vigil keep
This Irish Christmas Night.
For you and I are old and gray:
We've borne the load for years:
Together we have lived and loved
And shared LIES joys and tears.
