DALLAS HOSPITAL IS EMPTY

Dallas is on one of its periodical, alb
solute health sprees. There is not pa
tient in the Dallas hospital. There is
not even a prospect of one. No one has
written or 'phoned that he was coming.
There have been no operations the past
day or two. When Mrs. $. NJ. Wingo, of
Falls City, left Sunday the attendants
felt lonesome. They were in charge of a
hostelry without a guest. It's rather
hard on the overhead expense they say,
but. they quickly add as though they
might be accused of perfidy, it speaks
mighty well for the city and county.
Once last fall and once last summer
the hospital was empty but usually
there are four or more patients.-Dallas

From Far Away Florida.
All Bass Less Than a Foot Long
Turned Loose.

The proprietor of the State Journal
is in receipt of a letter from w. f.
Rightmire a former resident of Cot
tonwood Falls and later of Topeka.
Judge Rightmire is now residing at
Stuart, Florida.
He is well known in Kansas and
was a candidate for chief justice or
the supreme court in 1890. Perhaps
no more successful or companionable
fisherman ever lived.
The letter follows:
Oldtime Fishing Partner:
AS 1 have written you once before
inviting you to come to Stuart if you
came south, to enjoy a fishing trip
with me, at the time you were de-
tanned in B. c. by the illness of your
daughter, 1 will now give you full
account of a bass fishing trip l made
last Tuesday, because, while on the
trip, many things recalled the days
we had at Lake View, or down on the
Cottonwood river. together.

lakes are full of the large mouth

over the southern states. and they
grow to large size here, though the
largest that has been caught by any
of our party on our different trips.

eral educational work by contributing
information on railroad subjects to
colleagues and high schools. A num-
Der of our officials have been on the
program for students lecture courses.
AS an educational feature, we assem-
bled a train of old and new style
equipment, and ran it over our lines
to show the development in transpor-
tation facilities in thirty years. 1t is
estimated that a million and a half
people saw the train. We offered
prizes to the larger school children for
essays about the train. More than
5000 compositions were received.
Primarily, of course, the Santa Fe
company was organized for the trans
portation of passengers and freight,
and whatever success has been achiev-
ed in that direction is attributable to
two causes-service, and the cordial
relationship existing between the com
pany and its patrons-the latter cause
being due in the main to the side-line
activities, 1 have described. The
friendship of the people living along
the line is regarded by Santa Fe men
as one of the company's most valuable

leges of the several states traverSed by
our lines. The Santa Fe furnishes the
train, and the colleges the lecturers.
The subjects discussed vary, but all
have to do with farm problems-crops,
live stock and farm management.
Last summer the Hessian fly attacked
the wheat in one of our states. We

perts, whose advice was based on
actual tests covering a period of eight
years.
On one of our demonstration train
trips, a Santa Fe man asked the audi
ence of farmers to remain after the
departure of the college men from the
lecture car. AS we had been running
these trains for several years, and
everybody was familiar with the COM
pany's object, the Santa Fe representa-
tive asked the farmers if the informa-
ton they were receiving was Of Suf-
ficient value to them to warrant the
company in continuing the service. In
every case there was an affirmative
shout. Our people always have made
it plain that the Santa Fe is not pre-
suming to tell the farmers how to
farm; that it is the Santa Fe's policy
to cooperate with patrons as a matter
of business, and by giving farmers re-
liable information which will add to
their prosperity, the company expects
to add to it's own prosperity. We find
that it is the kind of cooperation the
farmers appreciate.
