for the state of Kansas, and he is
enjoying his visits here.
'It always is a delight to visit
Kansas in autumn, Mr.. Ripley
said. 1.-The climate is ideal, the
foliage beautiful, and the people
are enjoying the fruits of bounti~
ful harvest. / am advised that fully
fifty per cent of the Kansas wheat
crop still is in the hands OF the
farmers. This. to my mind, Is
great stunt 1t shows that the farm
ing business is on firm basis.
The war, Mr.. Ripley said, had
bumped every kind of business In
this country, but he expressed the
opinion that in time there would be
recovery and the United States
would find itself in the enjoyment
of foreign markets never enjoyed
before, in addition to the increased
demand for its products in Europe.
Regarding the railroad situation,
Mr.. Ripley said that things were
somewhat out of joint. prices OF
practically everything used in the
United States he declared, "have
advanced rapidly, except the price
Of TRANSPORTATION. Individuals and
firms have been able to keep going
because they are permitted to in
crease the price Of that which they
have to sell, whether the commodity
be food stuffs, building material or
labor. The railway company has to
meet these increased prices, but is
not permitted to increase the price
of it's commodity, which is service
to the public. The prospects for the
railroads are not encouraging, and
unless there be a change Of senti-
ment which will make 1t possible
for railroads to receive the same
fair treatment that other business
institutions receive the situation
will become acute"
Mr.. Ripley said that owing to
the increased rates of interest and
the disturbed conditions generally
in the railroad world, the Santa Fe
would make no extensions or other
improvements in the coming year

Jockie Mac r. his wee purse with
the "spondies" as he set foot out, Of
the train, and certain wild hopes were
making that young mans heart beat a
trifie unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding. and when he'd fin
