ried back to his laboratory and tasted
all the glasses he had used in his ex-

exceptionally sweet. He analysed the

were derivative Of benzol. In 1884
he set up an experimental factory for

formal announcement for the United

sounding phrases or bitter remarks

statesmanlike way. He covered his
political past by giving an account
of his service In Congress, and then
expressed himself on some OF the big
questions of today. He gave an ac-
count of what the Democratic Party
had accomplished in the last eight
years, and as congressman from
his district he referred modestly to
the part he played IN some impor-
tant legislation passed.
His remarks that he was glad that
he had bought Liberty Bonds were
heartily applauded. He paid a high
tribute to the influence women Will
have In our politics.
He made no direct reference to
either OF his opponents. his speech
was clean and lofty, and decidedly
Democratic.

Like most Of his tribe. the raven
is omniyOrOus; his dietary ranges
from "a worm to whale" When his
nest is built beneath some pverhang-
ing rock you can often discover Its
position by the remains Of rabbit neat
ly laid In the short grass at the top
Of the cliff. In districts where food
is scarce the raven will attack with

raven has q passion for solitude. He
will tolerate In the neighborhood OF
his nest not even his own offspring.
He drives them ruthlessly away as
soon as they are able to shift for

town and state now live In. 1t is 80
different from what was used to.
They raise "a lot OF corn and wheat
here. Wheat averaging from 10 to 25
bushels to the acre, and Irish pota-
toes; they don't plant a little patch
or a few rows. They plant them by
hundreds OF acres. MIR. Phew has
only l25 acres in Irish potatoes this
time. He is considered Potato King
of Kansas. He makes nice little
sum every week selling potatoes.
They do not dig potatoes up here as
they do down there. They have u
potato digger pulled by Tractor
and have boys to pick them up. He
sends a Truck In town after load
of boys to pick up potatoes. Not
only he does this but there are a doz-
Ell or more other potato farms. The
little boys like me get $3.50 to 81 per
day and larger boys get So to $3.50
per day. It's some kind OF sport to
go out with q bunch OF boys like
that.
We have people OF all nationalities
here; Mexicans, Russians, Germans,
Swedes, etc.
We have a nice little city about 8
miles square. 1t has a lot OF nice
parks. Boys you ought to be here.
Their names are High Land, Garfield,
Central. Ripley City Park and Gage
Park. This Ia a lovely park. They
have q lot of animals such as bears,
deer, buffaloes, walrus, coyotes, fox,
alligators and a lot of other small
animals and birds, snakes, fish,
swans, and a nice swimming pool
and Oh my! the beautiful flowers.
Boys, 1 have been In swimming in
that pool. It's great and at Garfield

all kinds OF nice play things and a
swimming pool in 1t some day for
the children to enjoy. It's great, but

months school here, so we don't get
much OF a vacation. Our school
starts the 9Th Of Sept. and our big
