Leora May Dawson Writes
to Minnie and Miliie
' Huffman
Miss Minnie and Mile Huffman,

Miss Minnie and Mile Huffman,
Floris, Iowa. H..
Dear Friends: Well it has been g
long time since | wrote to you girls OF
to the Junior either so tonight l viii
try to write to you both all in one
letter.
On Monday morning, Sept. 7
started to Half Mound school which
is 2 miles from my home. Mamma
takes me every morning aind comes
after me every evening for it is too
far for me to walk.
Last week I had to miss school all
week for I was sick, the doctor thought
1 had an attack of typhoid fever but
he got it checked before 1 got too sick
but I was very sick for 3 or 4 days.
l I'M in the first reader. My class
mates names are Elburn and Dorothy
and myself; just three in my class;
20 in my school.
About two weeks ago We went tc
Valley Falls to see the Indians play
ball with the Valley boys. Valley
came out just one ahead and say it
was a hot game for them too.
They have our new barn all finished
and are getting along just fine with
the house. It is going to be a dandy
nice house when it gets finished. Wish
you could come over and see it. Tel
Thelma and her mamma they must be
sure and make us that visit this fall
Kansas is a fine place to live or we
think so.
We have had good crops but 1t was a
little dry here during the summer but
not as dry as it was back there from
thu way the letters read that we got
from Iowa.
Last Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs
John Clinton and two sons, Ray and
Herold, went with us to town. We
went to the picture show, it was fine
Papa caught a large jack rabbit the
other day and We sent the ears back
to nv little cousins. They measured
u inches from tip of one ear to til
of the other.
What is everyone doing these days:
Tell them all hello for me and write
when you can. I will ring off now
and 90 to bed. Best wishes to all.
remain your friend,
Leora Mae Dawson, age .,
Valley Falls, Kansas.

A Fellou Feeling

! never liked young Tommy Brown,
For Tommy Brown, you see,
Is just the kind my people think
AS good as good can be.
They say to me, "Now, Tommy Brown
Would never muss his hair,
Nor stamp his feet when things go
wrong,
Nor strew things everywhere"
How tired l grew of Tommy Brown,
He seemed SO very good!
The things he should not-never did,
But did the things he should.
Then once I went to Tommy's house
And heard his mother say:
~Now, Tommy, stop! Why, Teddy
White
Would never act that way!
"You'd never see him leave his shoes
Around the floor like that,
Nor cry when asked to pick them up,
Nor tease the poor old cat
So when I now meet Tommy Brown
l try to be polite;
/ like him better than l did,
For l am Teddy White.

One fine morning in June two chill.

parted the bushes and crept softly in.

might be a panther" but Ted went
steadily on, till he reached the center,
and he then stood still. +
Oh what do you think he found? 1t

they heard a slight noise, and on look.
ing around saw the kitten in the bask.
ct. For she had just wakened from
a long nap.
| Great was the sisters Joy when she

OPEN SHED FEEDING.
Experiments Show That Cattle Thrive
Better When Not Confined.

Experiments Show That Cattle Thrive
Better When Not Confined.
There has been some difference of
opinion among cattle feeders as to the
relative merits of open shed feeding
and feeding in inclosed quarters. Some
of the leading experiment stations of
the country have recently conducted
experiments along this line. At the
Missouri station steers fed in barn
made daily gain of II pounds, while
