TOURISTS WERE WELL
TREATED BY GERMANS.
Widow of President Harrison and
Others Report Many Kindnesses

New York, Sept. The friend
ship of the German people for
Americans is deep seated and took
concrete form in many acts of
kindness during the early days
of the great European conflict,
according to Mrs. Benjamin Harri-
son, widow of the former preSi.
dent, who reached New York to-
day on the steamer Ryndam from
Rotterdam.
Mrs. Harrison and twenty-four
other American refugees who
were in Germany at the outbreak
of hoStilitieS, drew up a statement
embOdying their views before the
Ryndam reached port. Among
the signerS were President Harry
Love, of Cornell university, and
Prof. Carl D. Fehr, of Lafayette
college.
"AS Americans returning from
Germany" the statement reads,
1--WE feel ii our duty as citizens of
a friendly country to set forth The
truth concerning our treatment in
Germany and to contradict any
false impressions that may now
be current,
while the German people al
ways treat Americans with great
courtesy and kindness in times OF
peace, this was especially empha-
sized in time of war. From the
declaration of war until the time
of departure, nothing but kind
treatment was accorded us, no
matter whether we we're in the
shops, on the streets or in other
pubic places.
This spirit was especially well
shown, even in the midst of their
great sorrow, by a public meeting
for Americans in the RathauS in
Berlin.
Again the kindly spirit of the
nation was shown by providing
special trains, even though these
trains were needed for the trans
fer of soldiers and munitions of
war, to convey Americans to ports
where passage home could be Sc
cured.
1T is not possible to enumerate
all the various friendly acts. 1t
is enough to say that it would not
be possible for any nation 20 be
kinder to a foreign people in tiLles
of war than was Germany"

WATER NINE CENTS AN ACRE.
Irrigation at Fort Larned Ranch
Is Cheaper This Year Than
Last.

II is costing 9 cents an acre to
put water on the Fort Larned
ranch this year. E. E. Frizell says
that it is costing 15 cents an hour
for fuel oil and 3 cents an hour
for lubricating oil, and in an hour
2 acres can be covered with from
4 to 6 inches of water. This is a
considerable reduction from last
year, when ii cost about Il cents
an hour, making the cost per acre
1912 cents. The difference is in
the cost of fuel oil.
Mr.. Frizell says that one-fourth
of the land in Pawnee county cal.
be irrigated for 9 cents an acre,
just as is being done with this
Fort Larned land which is being
irrigated with water from the
Pawnee riser. Hc says that there
are $4,000 acres in the valleys
underlaid by sheet water at 1
depth of from 10 to q feel, and
that all of this land can be irri-
gated as cheaply as the Fort Lar
ned ranch is being watered. The
total land in the county is 1884,
600 acres.
The pump at the Fort Larned
ranch is now pumping $500 gal
Ions a minute, and the pump is
being worked "a hours a day,
six days in the week. The pumps
have been running about two
weeks day and close to 800 acres
have been just about covered with
6 inches of water since July 18th.
In this 500 acres watered there are
about 50 acres of sugar beetS and
the remainder is alfalfa. 1t was
unnecessary to do any irrigating
before the middle of July this
year.
Mr.. Frizell says he will con-
tinue to use the pumps until heavy
rains come. He has 200 acres of
wheat land which he will cover
with water in case there are no
heavy rains. Unless good rains
come he will be working his
pumps until the latter part of DC.

from his farm near Ford and was
looking after some business in

his crop. Mr.. Taylor has harvest
$4,000 bushels of wheat on his
Ford county land and naturally
is a pretty good booster for the
country. He thinks that Ford
county land furnishes the best
investment TO be secured in the
United States. When he goes to
Illinois and informs his neighbOrS
that he raised $4,000 bushels of
wheat in one season from his Kan
SaS investment they will revise
their opinion of Kansas. Mr.. Tay-
lor plans to make some extensive
improvements on his land in this
county and will make this county
his permanent home in the very
near future. His profits from one
years crop represents a comfort
able fortune. What country on
earth can duplicate the record!
What inducement is there for him
to remain in IllinoiS?-Dodge City
