Cheerful View

George Dunton, Of Lebanon, Kans.,
takes very cheerful view OF the par
tial crop failure Of that state. Said
he: I'VE raised part of hay CROP
but the corn was complete failure in
the Lebanon territory. But so long as
the banks of Kansas have greater de.
posits than any other state in the
union, why should the farmers In the
drought stricken territory worry? It's
hard to make a Kansas farmer hang
his lip. Nearly all OF them crib
enough corn each fall to run them
over season In case Of crop failure,
and most of the farmers who have no
corn have money In the bank with
which to buy feed."-Fowler Tribune.

Time To Celebrate

While the drouth stricken farmers
OF the east are discouraged and look.
ing for new locations, the farmers and
stockmen of the Rocky Mountain
states are rejoicing over the largest
and most profitable crops In the his.
tory OF the west. While the past
year has only been normal and some
sections have suffered from drouth.
there has been water enough for irri.
cation supplemented by opportune
rains and in addition the acreage has
been the largest ever known. 1t Is an
i'll wind that blows no one good and
the drouth Of the east has resulted In
high prices for all the west has been
able to produce. This spells prosper

the time for the west to celebrate and

agricultural prosperity reigns 10 the

since. At any rate, very few of them

When they spoke
to him about 1t Dannie would get out
q notebook and pencil and figure on
how much more he would be worth
III the next ten years by raising
pumpkins and ducks and chickens
than he would at engineering. But
this didn't fool anybody, because the
boys knew that Dannie had been born
a railroader and that his only real ele-
ment was along the shining rails.
The thing that made Dannie quit
the road occurred when the baby Dan
was little better,than two years old.
1t was a gloomy drizzly day. No. %
was approaching the town. Owing to
the slippery condition of the rails the
engineer had had some trouble In get
ting his unusually heavy train over
the road on the schedule. The train
was few minutes late, having lost
the time coming up the long grade
from North River, and Dannie was
crowdiilg on the drivers every ounce
of steam they would stand without
slipping. There were several curves.
one Of considerable length around a
sloping hill just before reaching the
place where Dannie lived. AS the en-
CINE swept around the hill, revealing
the long tangent ahead Dannie saw
on the rails a small white object
which he instantly recognized as
little chap. Instinctively he reached
for the whistle lever and then his
heart failed him at the thought that
it wouldn't do the slightest good; Lit
tie Dannie was no more afarid OF
railroad train than he was of Bill
Skaggs. He knew that his dad was
on that engine, and he felt satisfied
In his little baby brain that no harm
could come to him when his dad was
near. SO he toddled up toward the
engine with smile on his lips and
hi4 little arms stretched out. OF
curse the half-crazed father shut off
steam and applied the emergency

Ugly old Bill, as soon as he saw the
kid, ran along the running board be-
vsi1e the big boiler as lively as any
monkey could have done, climbed out
on the pilot, stood still for a moment
until Ne caught the baby's eye, and
then gave the regulation railroad sig

Little Dannie saw it and obeyed or.

Skaegs was little wobbly and his
leathery face looked odd as he
climbed back into the cab. He saw
what had happened to Dannie-that
his nerve had entirely left him-and
SO he motioned him to get on the
ether side of the engine and took the
train into the division himself.
Before going home Dan went up
into the superintendent Office and
resigned. He simply told the super
intendent that it was a good year for
farming and he wanted to get back to
the land. Skaggs took his place as
engineer and made good. Little DAN

reading and will doubtless in time be
