Do you long for adventure, you
girls of Topeka, to go west and live
in a little log house with Indian rugs
on the floor, snow shoes on the wall
and all outdoors beyond the door as
you see in the moving picture shows?
Do you want a taste of real rough
| ing it and adventure in crude home
miles and miles from the railroad :?
Do you want to wear a riding habit
and flannel shirt with heavy shoes
and leather puts all day long, and
| tramp and ride to your hearts con-
| tent? There is a way. 1t is leap year
| "a wonderful opportunity is being Of
fered the returned soldiers and sailors
\ to take up claims in Wyoming and
western Colorado; there are number
| of Washburn men who are considering
\ the proposition seriously. There is
| one who has even taken out his claim
papers and will go to his ranch OF
| three hundred and twenty acres in
northwestern Colorado, sixty miles
| from a railroad this very spring, and
| there pioneer as they were pioneering
in Kansas fifty years ago.
| Soldiers will be given a preference
on this Wyoming land which will be
| opened March IS. And this is the
wonderful part of it. The time the
ex-soldier spent in the service will be
| applied on the three years it is neces-
| sary to live on the land before the
| owner can prove up. You know
| plenty of men who were in the army
| few months and it would belong to
| him. And they are beginning to find
| oil in this part of the country.
| There are four Washburn men,
members of a fraternity who are plan
| ming to take four adjoining pieces of
I land and build their little shacks in
the four neighboring corners and
| there together fight the prowling
| wolves, the driving snow and the
| gnawing loneliness.
The man who has the Colorado
ranch wears another sort of frat pin
| and is famous for his stature and
prowess. He needs no neighbors to
| help him fight the elements and the
animals. but as far as the loneliness
goes, it is leap year, girls. and there
are the adventures you long for in the
| pioneer country.
A spread Monday night will be the
| first of a series of social affairs given
/ by the Alpha Phi girls in honor of
Miss Martha Churchill of New York
City, visiting delegate of the fraternity
