Jones would make q good team.

Jones would make . good team.
can't believe that Mrs. Weber re-
allied what SIZE vas writing. No uOubt
she lad . spell Of the blues. Perhaps
stomach or liver was the cause Of all
the outbur,t Of dissatisfaction. !
would advis. her to take some nedi-
cine and thirk il over. As for me,
am sure if lived in y place with such
a dismal Sounding name as Raven
that l would have wore than the
blues; in fact ] would never 60 70
live in such pace; and she would ne:
be to blame if she left it for that very
reason. But she would BE- TO blame
for inducing Nher good women to
leave, too, beesu.e there night -
some who like gloomy things. The
are in town q few ex-nachers, j viii
admit. but there are more town and
|eity people dissatisfied with their loi.
and wishing for a ranch, than any one
would believe unless you happened to
meet them, and let me explain why
they are not on farms today: Simply
because there are no farms for them.
There is scarcely q foot Of land worth
having that has not been taken up long
ago, and the land that is for sale is
valued so high that a working man or
a man willing to work a ranch can't
touch it with tenfoot pole. You,
Mr.. Rancher. if you want to sell your
land, put it down to what it is worth
and see what the town man will do.
Nillionaires don't want to work 4
| ranch; they DON t have to. II hal
100000 do you suppose I would fork
, it over to some man for the privilege
o fworking like q horse the rest Of nv
life! I would not show good sense II
I did. I can make that money earn
my living easier than that. Neverthe-
less, i would buy . ranch tomorrow il
it was a snap and it suited me. 20
also would I and many other families
in this state take up government land
if there was any on which a crow
could make living. But there is not.
The ex.ranchers who are in this
town-some sold their ranches for .
good price and came to town to put
their children to school; some l,ct.
/ their ranches because the state
game laws were 80 strict they
could not sell venison and pot hunt
nor sell trout; some left because their
neiRhbors went out Of the stock bust
ness and they could NO longer make an
easy living selling their nsighbsr'
horses and such like. Those people arc
Erafters a.d will alwsys be such. Thsy
are still grating on The pub,ie. A few
shyster lawyers with ranches for sale
ere in the tswns AID eitiss. They
eaas, No doubt. with the iatsstioa II
hreskins i.to politics. Maybe they
starved out on dry raAehes ssaswAefo.
However, they are here, a.A can
swear that Il Was net cooking fer
hired men that caused them to leave
the nnch.
And now, Nr. Dickson, IL you will
approve Of this article and publish it
there may be another light thrown on
the subject, and for me give me the
chance to get . ranch and the God
given privilege to work and I will cook
three square meals for 10 hired men
every day in the year if the ranch
justifies the hiring Of them. and
would not be making a sacrifice Of
myself by 20 doing, rs I would share
alike with my family the reward Of
our labors. And as my husband has
always treated me right, I will coz
tinue, by the help Of God, to do my
duty as I see it, be it on . nnch or
any other place where it may please
God to place me.
Hoping that have offended no one
and that my ranch friends will lay
aside their silly murmurings and take
heart and rejoice because they have
the health and strength to work, I
remain
Yours in good faith,
