Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Jackson and
son, win, and daughter, Miss Effie,
were up from Comanche township
Saturday afternoon for a visit with
friends and to do some shopping. Mr..
Jackson reports everything as lovely
down that way. He has out over 200
acres Of wheat and it is looking fine.
He says the dry spell this summer
was about the worst he ever saw,
and he has been a resident Of the
state for considerably over thirty
years. But the ground in his COM
munity is thoroughly soaked now and
things are starting out like a good
crop for next year.

time ago moved to Arkansas with
his family to spend the winter and
possibly locate u things suited them,
came back last Thursday and tied
himself up to a good piece Of Barton
county dirt so that the chances are
that he will continue TO call Great
Bend his home. He purchased the
Jim Downey farm. northeast of the
city, for $500 and certainly made
a good buy in the deal. He says they
are comfortably located in the jeff
Davis state and that they will remain
there this winter anyway.

Mr. Schroeder took occasion to call

235 acres Of wheat and says he new

It Of losing his crops just at the last
minute, so he is not going to count
up his profits until he has the wheat
threshed. This spring and summer
he had about 250 acres Of the best
wheat In that part Of the country,
almost all Of 1t being good for Is
bushels to the acre, but Just before
harvest a hail store swept across a
couple Of sections up that way and
his land happened to be right in its
path, and when 1t was over with he
was saved the expense Of harvesting
the entire crop. for every acre Of
1t had been totally destroyed. How.
ever, Julius Is becoming used to lit
tie things like that, for he lost his
entire crop three years in succession
the same way making him four fiat
failures out Of nine years. But he
Is not in the least discouraged, and
says he seems to be getting along
as well as the rest Of the people, but
1t looks as though he has had about
his share Of loss in this line and It
Is to be hoped that he viii meet with
better success with the crop now
