 Regarding the NanderVoort cor respondents nightmare about the county seat, we are at loss to know why he should throw a brlck- bat at us, as we always threw Dou- quets when we had occasion to mention that town. The next item says they want a brick yard. Il their system to build up their town is to throw bricks at their sister towns, they evidently need one:
 A letter comes to our desk from an instructor in the agricultural college at Manhattan, kas. winch says in part The Weekly Star Is a regular and welcome visitor. The items from Hatfield are the first thing we all look for when The Star comes, and 1t is a question III my mind if the average county cor respondent has the falntest gllm- mer of how large a factor he may be in the building up or tearing down of his home community due to the character of the items and of the news notes he writes. Signed. W. H. S, Manhattan, Kas. While this may be a left-handed cOmpll- ment regarding our own items, at the same time, coming as 1t does from an onlooker, 1t Is a pointer we cannot afford to overlook.
 Il. V. Johnson shipped a car ot cattle this week to Kansas City. This is the second car shipped from here this week. Shipments have run from two to as high as eight carloads a week from this point the past summer, and when you re- member that each carload brings back to our town in the neighbOr- hood of Sl,5O0, it is quite a source of revenue And when you remem- Der still further that cattle can be produced here cheaper than any where else in the United States. it is a wonder each farmer hasn't a nice little herd. Joe finders, a large cattle raiser and dealer here went to bring his cattle from the pasture this week, but found them sleek and fat and doing so well that he left them for this month. Where can you beat it for a long season on grass?
