a rHhnta tn Kansaa

a Tribute to Kansas.
God made the world and rested, And .
then, to make creation doubly sweet, .
he made the state of Kansas. He took .
the love and laughter of the skies, the /
sun and dew, the breath of myriad flow
ers, the light of rosy dawns and golden /.
sunset splendors, and fashioned here
the pride and glory of the newborn
cIimes. Then round this Eden of the
world, He placed the flaming sword of
drought and hardship and difficulty and
danger, that none might enter TO her
heart of gold but those whose hearts
were true and brave and worthy as her
own.
The race that wooed and won this
peerless state deserved to win her
They came of stock that conquered
worlds. They brought high hopes and
purpose firm and faith that would not
falter The desert specter, lean and
grim, commanded them to halt. The
clouds withheld the boon of rain, the
sun sent forth his furnace flame, the
bHghting winds blew fiery breaths, the
earth refused her goOdly store, gaunt
Famine stalked abroad, the darts of
Treachery assailed them, they faced
sombre sea whose waves begat dirges
of despair on shadow blackened shores
of Desolation.
And yet they stayed, these men and
women of heroic mold. They tanned
the Wild, they conquered Fate, they
drove Oppression to his lair, they fought
for principles that gave new life and
impulse to a Nation struggling upward
!. toward the right. They lifted high the
banner of the stars and dreamed the
star of Kansas there, the brightest con-
, stellation of them all.
So live and love and work and win
, the race OF Kansaa today. There eyes
are on the futures peaks, their steps
: lean ever sunward, their hearts are
t stepped in Natures gold, their souls
have caught the vision. No hating as

? achievements. A race unparalleled II

Normal Notes and Comments.
Whitewash the LOcust Trees.

After last years experience with
the borers in the honey locust trees it
would, be wise precaution to white
wash the tree trunks again this sum-
mer.
Slaked lime and water containing a
little glue dissolved in the hot water
makes a whitewash that will stick to
the tree trunks and will not injure the
trees. Dry glue can be bought at any
drug store.
Never use oil paints of any kind.
Trees breathe through their bark as
well as through the roots and leaves
and any oily substance will smother the
tree,
