A RECENT REAL
ESTATE DEAL

Il. O. Grouse of Marshall county,
/ Kansas, has recently bought, thru
| IL. J. Burke, wit hWhOm he has
been visiting, the BIrkepile farm of
32O acres, eight miles north and one
mile east OF town. 1t was a cash
deal. Mr. Grouse was here for q
fcW weeks last July looking over
the country. Since then he has
travelled extensively through Kan
sas, Nebraska, and other parts OF
Colorado. especial yamOng the
mountains, seeking all the time for
favorable location. He returned
recently to this section saying this
country looked the best to him OF
any region he had seen and that he
had decided to buy here. He ex.
poets to come here later and may
make future investments. The land
about here has not been affected
by boom prices as in most OF the
east. Its real value is just being
discovered by the people here them
selves. The need for ready money
on the part of early settlers is plac-
ing some of this land on the market
at tempting prices. Buyers are be.
ginning to come in in increasing
numbers and it looks now like
steady anvancc in prices. A local
land man who has been travelling
in eastern and central Kansas ex-
plains it in this way:
He found land in central Kansas
selling at Sl75 per acre and averag-
ing only bushels of wheat to the
section. can be bought at the same
price with an average Of 35 bushels
to the acre, while nOn-irrigated land
averaging twelve bushels to the
acre this year, can be bought for
$25. He claims that this central
area of Kansas cnnot be compared
as a wheat country withOur non.
irrigated lands to say nothing
of our so called dry lands As
this fact becomes better known he
predicts flow of immigration this
way. Only the muddled condition
Iof financial and Industrial affairs
and the shortage of ready money
has belated the flow of buyers till
this time.

Holly, by Golly!

The editor receives so many ia
vorable comments on Holly that it
becomes almost mOnOtOnOus but
none the less acceptable. At first
he supposed such remarks were on
ly complimentary to him as a paper

conversation. there seems to be
more than mere compliment.
This more recent visitor comes
from neighboring town. Said he,
"Our business men are old and in a

Holly you have 9 younger set of fel.

Propogandists on either side of
the question have been beseiging
the press for publicity to defend its
side. Perhaps in both eases there
is an FAX to grind But the great
public care nothing for the pecu-
liar tenets of this school or that,
except as they bear on the question
of human welfare. The plea of the
antivivisectionists is one of mercy
for the dumb creature or helpless
child The plea of science is the
prolOngatiOn of human life.
Surely no one would tolerate any
experiment on animals which wOuld
cause useless suffering. 1t is for
this reason that the practice OF
killing animals for mere sport is
questionable. The poet, Cooper
we believe. who declared he would
not needlessly place his foot upon

dumb life should not be made to
suffer,b but also because the inflic.
tion of suffering upon anything,
outrages the finer senSibilities OF
the human soul and Injuries human,
