The daily news which W. s. berwick
inflicted upon the people of Wa-Kee-

ed to change his mind and quit.-El-

The proposition to hold chautau-
qua in Wa-Keeney this season has
| been abandoned, to be taken up again
next spring. The contract was con-
| ditioned on crop prospects and the
same option is to hold for the season
| of 1914. Owing to unfavorabIe crop
prospects to the west of US, more
| especially the late and uncertain
harvest season probable, and that the
date to be assigned to Wa-Keeney
would certainly conflict with a late
| harvest season, the matter is post
poned reluctantly but in the hope
that the conditions next year may be
more propitious.
western Kansas has never had a
fair chance. Prairie sod was broken
out by the mile that should never
have been touched by the pillow. This
| land has been planted to wheat after
wheat and what did not blow away
has produced occasional crops If live
stock had been retained in numbers
/ with sufficient pasturage; if no corn
had been planted but kaffir used in
stead. and dry farming methods used
on fewer acres, Western Kansas
would now be much more popuious as
well as prosperous The above is
from the Kansas Farmer and sslistens''
very much like the plain truth.
We asked Uncle Billie Sommerville
Thursday what he was crying about as
the tears rolled down his big fat
cheeks. The wind was blowing a
gale of forty miles an hour and the
air was full of dust and we attribut-
ed these things as the cause. He
shook his head, and said, that isn't
the cause, worse things have happen
ed in our household. the old family
cat died the same day the daily news
handed in its check. We don't mind
the loss of the cat but how in the
deuce are we to get along without
the daily news Uncle Billie blew
his nose and smiled.
