Governor Capper's outburst.

Governor Capper OF Kansas has stirred up
the animals by his parade of the overshadowing
wealth OF the sunflower state. with the likell-
hood OF concerted action on part of other west
ern governors to refute his inflated claims. Just
why the great states OF the west should enter
upon a campaign OF competitive Dragging about
themselves passes understanding. The Kansas
people are welcome to any satisfaction they may
get out OF II. Their habit of boasting inordi-
nately about everything that pertains to the state
from prohibition to tornadoes. is inherent. a
Characteristic OF the primitive people Of the
realm OF the Jayhawker. Those who are more
advanced in the ways OF civilization are content
to let "a strangers mouth praise the achieve
ments OF which they are proud. Nebraska mod
estly asserts that IL has a place in the ahead
OF both Iowa and Kansas. We rejoice in a de-
velopment that neither OF our neighbors ever
knew. but we do not keep the world awake at
nights shouting about 1t, nor do we deliberately
deceive ourselves by reckless exaggeration

600 Head Hereford Cows

1t is doubtful if the demand
for real good cattle was ever
stronger in this country than it
is at this present time. The sure
and safe route to success in this
great and growing country is the
live stock route. especially is
this true if high grade cattle is
hendled.
More and more our people are
coming to realize the fact that
scrub" cows do not pay. Con-
sequently they are demanding
better stuff, and this part of the
country is being stocked with
high grade cattle. the money
making sort. True it costs a bit
more to buy the high grade
cattle but there is positively no
comparison in the returns to the
owners of the 'scru b" COW and
the we'll bred cow. 1t pays to
get the best regardless of the
difference in price.
This fact is patent, both to
the dealers and the buyer hence
we believe the dealers, of this
section are trying to get better
cattle for the buyers of this
section. The News approaching
