Purchase Price ofKansas
Is Paid in Year by Hens
All Products of Kansas Farms Last Could Have Paid
Bill Nearly Fifty Times Over-Value Is
Placed at S69917O,341.

When the region which includes
Kansas was bought from France more
than a century ago at 22s cents an
acre, history records there were those
who thought it a bad bargain.
But if charged to the Kansas hens,
the entire bill = SIS, 000,0 900 could
easily have been paid by them in 1920.
And all the products of Kansas farms
last year. valued at s669,170,3 BAL, could
have paid the bill nearly fifty times
over.
when the international land deal
was consummated the region was I'M
explored and uncomprehended, and of
Kansas no man had dreamt," says a
bulletin issued by the state board of
agriculture. "It is a little more than
one hundred years since the transfer
of the unmeasured wilds of the Louisi-
ana province to the United States.
But it is within only the latter half
of that period that a large part of the
purchase has been transformed as if
by magic into the most profitably pro-
ductive agricultural domain in the
world, and of this the quadrangle
called Kansas is the favored common
wealth. Once called desert, the state
is now a garden with an annual wealth
production of billion dollars.

THE MULBERRY.
A BabyIonian Legend.

There were forerunners of Romeo
and Juliet in Babylon, whose names
were Pyramus and Thisbe. These two
young lovers we're parted by their
cruel parents. But love will have a
way, and they continued to meet
secretly. and between whites they
breathed affection thru a chink in the
dividing wall.
Their favorite tryst was in the shade
of a white mulberry tree at the tomb
of Minus, outside the city gates One
day Thisbe arrived first and was
frightened by q. lion that made its ap-
pearance, fresh from the ravaging of
a sheepfold. She sought refuge in a
cave, but in her haste she dropped her
veil. This was torn by the claws of the
lion and drabbled in the blood of a
lamb the beast had slain, and when
Pyramus discovered it he sent up a
loud lament, convinced that Thisbe
had been slain. Since you are gone -
