Mrs. Hess Returns From East.

Mrs. C. C. Hess returned last
Thursday from a visit of several
weeks with relatives and old friends
in Iowa and Minnesota. She fou d
much complaint among the farmers
of the middle-west of too much rain
and extensive damage to crops as
result. She said the following ex-
tract from a letter, written on Ju e
22 to the Winnebago Enterprise by
A. w. Watson, who was on visit
from Winnebago City, Mimi, to
Tonkawa, Oklahoma, states the con-
ditions back there as she found them:
Continuous rain to Kansas City
we found that Winnebago had much
to be thankful for. Daylight found
US speeding south in northern Mis-
souri,. There we noticed cornhelds
washed away and grain fields as fat
as the floor, and mud and water
everywhere, the only thing pleasing
being pastures full Of Missouri mules
big sleek fellows, grazing on the hill
side grasses. At Ottawa and EN-
poria, Kansas, we never before wit
messed such sights. Water to the
top of the fence posts wheat and alf-
alfa fields entirely submerged, push
rakes and canvas stack covers float
like boats in the water, corn fields
without stand and without a plow.
The bible tells us that when the
world was drowned, it rained 40
days and 40 nights but Kansas has
gone them one better. The weather
man handed them continuous 90
day stretch.
Reaching here, we found our
selves in what is known as the Cher
okee strip, with the best crop of
wheat ever raised, ripe and waiting
for the binders with most of the fields
full of water from to inches in
depth, and in this south land to see
the thousands of acres of golden
grain going to ruin, it's enough to
make the world swear.
ssThe thermometer is around
aundred, and it seems as if Joshua
vas doing that sun stunt over again,
making it long day.

the growing spirit of kindness
and reconciliation between the
North and South after the fright

deep congratulation to all.
No girl would turn a man

The time is not far distant
when a man will be judged by
his character and not by the
color of his skin.

of slavery was 30 constructed as
to cause labor, as a rule, to be
looked upon as a badge of degra-
dation of inferiority.
There was an element in the
north which wanted to punish the
southern white people. The
south laments today the slow,
steady disappearance of q certain
type of negro, the faithful, the
courteous slave of other days.
