AT Wakeeney we visited in one of
Kansas lovely farm homes. 1t had
steam heat, electricity, running water,
bath, etc. but desolate. 1t seems to
me that Kansas thirty or forty miles
from here is the most deso-ate spot
that can be found This was over the
chalk hills that we were visiting in a
wheat and cattle country where some
times it rains and sometimes it DON'T.
Between here and Wakeeney there
is a difference in altitude of 400 feet,
a rise of over ten feet to the mile. 1
am learning something about the
geography Of windy Kansas almost
every day. For instance, learn that
if wheat ground is plowed too deeply
and your house is in line with that
particular wheat field, it means that
you will carefully sweep the farmer
mans soil which has blown off his
wheat in the night, out of your
kitchen, shake it off of your pillow
and pick it out of your teeth. I have
heard people say out here that they
have gone to bed at night and when
they awoke in the morning and raised
their head off the pillow that the spot
where their head was would be the
only white thing in the room, but so
far haven't experienced anything like
that yet.
Mr.. o. J. Wood was out here and
was the cause of my husbands first

up unit 1880 and then being young
and uninformed as to lodge hours, |
went to bed and the next thing he was
ransacking the kitchen for hot water
to thaw out frosted radiator. 1t
sure was cold today; the clothes froze
in the basket sometimes before I could
hang them up even tho did put salt
in the rinse water as Good House |
