One unique article concerns brief
recollections of Senator W. A. PETER,
written by himself only a short while
before he died. The little autobio-
graphy was never completed, owing to
the ex-senator's illness. He was too
feeble to write the story himself, but
dictated it to Mr.. Borman's steno-
grapher.
The oldest subscriber to the maya
zine is Adam Madison, Greenleaf,
Kan, who has taken the paper for
A consecutive years. Next comes j. B.
Dobbs. of Amherst, S. D., two years
behind. who has contributed to the
success of the anniversary number by
a vivid description of the grasshop-
per raid. They came over the plain
like a cloud of smoke said he then
descended on us like hail. They de-
voured every atom of verdure and left
the peach pits hanging to the trees"
Mr.. Borman, in his editorial an
nouncement, declares:
Throughout this issue will be
found much which will cause you to
reflect on the development of Kansas
during the last half century. 1t is GER
tain that the reader cannot help but
feel a thrill of pride in the Kansas of
today compared with the Kansas
of yesterday. Not another such state
as Kansas has been builded in so few
years, and not another state like it
will ever be builded again."

This is gala day for the Kansas

Reid. There are to be Ga pages-double

have been if all contributions had been
accepted. Mr. Borman declares that 10
tons of paper will go into the issue and
800 pounds of ink.
The Kansas Farmer is the oldest
periodical in the state-was first pub
lished in SO as journal of the State
Agricultural society. The paper was
originally issued from Lawrence, then
Leavenworth, and was brought to To-
peka in '73 by Major J. K. Hudson. 1t
has been under the presidency of AL
bert T. Reid for nearly four years.
