When person once gets Thoroughly

south of town. They now live IN
have not forgotten Trego county. In
letter TO the World Mrs. Houx says:
THE girls always look for school
news in the paper and enjoy it, so,
you see, we are not entirely weaned
from Kansas yet. Strange, isn't it,
how that Kansas wind and water
kings to a persons memory. We
have never found any water half so
good in our moves. I'm hungry for a
drink of it right now. Yet, none of
US have ever wanted to go back there
since we came to Los Angeles
Two Trego county farmers who be-
lfeve in doing something for the i'm
provement of the live stock which is
raised here are Chas Folkers and
Fred Rensmeyer. Last week they
were near Lincoln, Nebr., where they
attended a sale of pure bred live
stock. Mr.. Folkers purchased z
year old Percheron mare and a year
old Percheron stallion which weighs
about 1900 pounds, and a yearling
roam Shorthorn bull. Mr.. Rensmeyer
bought yearling Percheron stallion
and three and year old Shorthorn
heifers, one of which had sucking
calf. This stock was all purchased
from Fred Egger and is all pure bred
and registered and the papers accom-
! pany them. Mr.. Folkers also has an
other young Percheron stallion which
he received last week from Bishop
| Bros. of Towanda, Kan. Such stock
is worth the while and will be great
benefit in building up the grade of
| live stock in this territory Mr..
| Rensmeyer probably has the only
herd of registered Shorthorns in the
| county
