BerIin's Bouquet,

Paris was teaching the world when
there was no capital in Germany;
London has been commercial CEN
ter for thousand years, and Oxford
was a hundred years old before even
the University of Prague, the first in
Germany, was founded by Charles Nv
in 134S. You may like or dislike these
cities, but at any rate they have a
bouquet; Berlin has none.

be sent and he would be robbed of the

sheriff his ally. But that official was
out of town and would not return I'M

around, restless and excited His

WESTERN KANSAS FUTURE
BRIGHT, GEOFFROY BELIEVES

western Kansas never had such
prospects for big crops and good
business ahead of it as this year"
says Frank Geoffroy, who has just
returned from a trip to Hays City
and other western Kansas points.
"The wheat stands six inches
high, the acreage is larger than 1t
ever was; merchants say that a
larger percentage Of their custom
ers than ever before are paying cash
for merchandise. Lumber dealers
never sold as much lumber as they
are selling now for improvements
on farm lands and for big granaries.
Alfalfa looks good, as good as 1t
does here, and the cattle are In
good shape. Although wheat is NOV
ing as fast as It can be handled,
there is still large amount Of old
wheat on hand among the farmers
in the western section of the state.
The subsoil is we'll soaked, and the
roads are even muddy"
