NORTH SIDE NEWS,

special train on the Union Pacific
arrived here about 2:30 O'Clock this af-
ternoon from Manhattan. About 300
people were in the crowd and they rep
resented the Agricultural college, the
city and surrounding community.
They came here to visit the legislature
and do some lobbying in the interest
of appropriations for the college.
1t is reported that they will try to
get the members of the legislature to
increase the appropriation as reported
by the ways and means committee.
One of the galleries in the house will
be reserved for the accommodation of
the visitors.
The postoffice in North Topeka will
be open Saturday morning until 1
o'clock and from 5 o'clock to o'clock
in the evening. The carriers will make
but one delivery and the rural route
carriers will not go out ON their routes
at all. The holiday is being observed
on account Washington's birthday.
The precipitation the last two days
is just what the farmers have been
waiting and watching for. The mois-
ture will add greatly to the spring
prospects and the value to the farmers
who live north of the city cannot be es-
timated.
The soil was reported to be exceed
ingly dry. The wheat and all other
kinds of winter grain have needed
moisture throughout the entire win
ter and the farmers have been feeling
slightly discouraged. The fruit also
has needed moisture for. several weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Cochran and
family were pleasantly surprised at

friends and neighbors. The evening
was spent at playing games and with
a short musical and literary program.
Mrs. Cochran and family have recently
completed a new home on their farm

friends and neighbors as a house
