The fairness of the whole landscape.
the absence of a break In the horizon
as far as the eye can see in any direc-

visitor.
He may get into conversation with .
Inative-born son of this region, one who
has dwelt here from birth and gazed
out upon this unbroken landscape. The
visitor may say something of expert

Like a thousand other tiny towns in
the great western wheat lands. Tampa
Idozes eleven months in the year. while
the millions of level acres terminate
and bring forth the delicate green of
the springing wheat that finally rises
and overspreads the plain like a golden
flood.
| Then the people of Tampa awaken
and go forth like troops OF treasure
seekers to gather the wealth that has
come up from the ground No one is
sacred from labor when harvest time
comes in Kansas. and the army that
goes forth to conquer the crops Is one
Of the strangest aggregations of hu-
manity in the world. Here come the
unemployed from al parts OF tne
United Statesmen from every trade
and occupation-to be eagerly seized
and impressed into service by the
farmers waiting at the station. Here
come college boys In need of vacation
money, homesteaders working their
way westward. hoboes eager to earn
the high wages that will insure them
| long days of vagrant idleness. On these
breezy plains, under the glowing sky
that has turned the earth to gold, all
| of this Heterogeneous crew Is fused
into one great laboring unit moving
to the rhythm of its own effort and
inspired by the single idea Of reaping
the harvest of golden grain.
