RUsTLINGs
(By ]. c. Ruppenthal)

(By j. G. Ruppenthal)
Formore than fifty of the sixty-one
years that Kansas has been state,
no one but Republicans have sat on
the supreme bench. Yet some people
really think that voters try to be free
from partisan bias in choosing judges.
Only two years out of sixty-one were
there two Populist fusion Democrats
in power on the court with one Re
publican associate. One Democrat
was Judge with two Republicans as
associates for about eight months by
appointment of Governor Click. One
fusionist sat with two Republicans fer
four years. Six Republicans sat with
one fusionist for two years. Alto
gether there have been little more
than 249 years of Republican service
and a little less than thirteen years Of
others in that court.
Are secret societies more religious
than religions? Are they more
Christian than churches? A writer in
the New Ages for April, Scottish Rite
magazine says: "The main truth of
free masonry (is) that all men are
one. Nothing short of this sense Of
brotherhood, even between ourselves
and our late enemies the Central
Powers can melt ancient antipathies
into sympathetic understandings.
Christian fought against Christian in
the (World) War; Protestant slew
Protestant; Roman Catholic killed
Roman Catholic; but on more than
one occasion when Mason met Mason,
life was spared and kindness shown"
How many Christians would say that
because of Christianity they spared
an enemy's life in the late war?-

This is the third of a series
of fifteen industrial articles
which will be published in the
Free Press, one each week for
the next fifteen weeks for the
purpose of outlining to the out
side world the vast field of op-
portunities existing here for ad-
vancement and success. The
facts contained in these articles
are all absolutely reliable and
gathered by an expert publicity
man, who has had many years
experience in this business.
The Free Press throughout
this length of time, will make
an effort to show that there is
not county west of the Miss
issippi river that offers a wider
field of endeayor than Ellis
county. Every phase of indus
trial life and business activity
will be covered in a thorough
and constructive manner.
The carrying out of this
campaign has been made posi-
bic by the advertising support
accorded by the many progress
sive business institutions of
Hays, the metropolis and Cap
ital of Ellis county and this
section of Kansas. After read
ing Industrial article turn to
the industrial pages and see
who these progressive firms are,
who so willingly have come to
the assistance of this enter
prise.
Every reader of the Free
Press can assist very material
ly in this campaign by sending
his own copy of the paper to
friends or relatives in other
sections of this state or other
states after he has completed
reading it, that these friends
might learn of the opportunities
of this splendid productive
section.

Searching. the great undeveloped
areas of the west for possible loca-
tion for reclamation projects, the
federal and state governments, rail
roads, enterprising individuals and
corporations have joined forces in the
great scientific conquest of the Great
American desert, and have brought
about an epoch in the development
of the west.
Millions of acres of land which for
centuries have bleached in the burn
ing sun, barren and forbidding, have
been transforped into farms and
orchards. Thriving communities have
sprung up where the wheels of indus
try hum under the buys hand of am
bilious, independent, happy and con-
tented people. Great. rivers, which
for countless ages have crawled slug
gishly to the sea have been conquered
by the ingenuity of man and put to
work creating and maintaining lfe.
Tens of thousands of American peo-
pie have risen from the humble en-
ployment to the full measure of inde-
pendent existence, producing the ne
cessities of life from the soils of the
Earth.
NBack to the farm" has grown to
be a national slogan and wherever
transportation has made easily ac-
cessible the areas reclaimed, lands
have been fruitful and profitable to
the satisfaction of the most enthus-
iastic.
Westward has swept a great army
of industrious, home making people,
who have swarmed to these areas and
are building substantial, lasting argi-
cultural communities. Along with
other states Kansas has received a
portion of this westward immigration
and especially does this apply to the

This is what Will T. Beck of the
Holton Recorder, has to say about W.
Y. Morgan:
There is lately an unmistakable
trend here towards the candidacy of
Ex-Lieutenant Governor w. Y. Nor
gan of Hutchinson. His platform
promises economy and cutting down
of governmental expenses where it
does not destroy efficiency. By
changes in the taxation scheme, he
advocates shifting some of the bur
dens from the shoulders of the farm
er and the business man to shoulders
that have not been toting their share
of the load. The fact that Morgan is
a Kansan of the finest type, a success
full business man, and we'll versed by
long experience in state affairs and
departmental business, is appealing
to many of the local Republicans
They feel such candidate is needed
to head the party ticket and win sue
cess for the Republicans in Novem-
ber."

WHERE IS THE CITY DUMP

Well, it is NOT along the Golden
Belt Road west of town along Big
Greek, neither is it out on the Ex-
pertinent Station or Normal grounds,
nor any other private property or
public highway.
If you want to go to the City Dump
go to the west City limits; then go
north along the section line road one
and one-half miles; turn west three
fourths of a mile to The Bal -Wasinger
farm; turn in the gate and go about
400 feet north to the dump.
Take all your rubbish out there
but observe this:
Do not take paper out there.
Burn it.
Do not take dead animals, rot
ten eggs, putrid meat or any
other decaying or offensive
smelling matter out there-un-
less you bury it under the
ground. The laws of the State
Board of Health are very strict
in this respect. Observe this and
YOU will he clear of trouble.
It IS strictly against the Laws of
the State of Kansas to dump rubbish
on private property or on public
roads adjoining private property. If
YOU take it to the regular City Dump
YOU won't have to sneak out there
during the night.

out by the rains of the ages which
has been a characteristic of lands
where the rainfall has been more ex-
tensive and driving.
The average size of farms in Ellis
county is 400 acres. It Is generally
conceded that these farms are too
large and from this standpoint the
county could well accommodate 200
more farmer families very easily, this
being an exceptional conservative
estimate. The improvements on
Western Kansas farms are in keeping
with the development of the west
and in many instances strictly modern
homes, equipped with electric light
plants, waterworBs systems, etc, are
to be found with substantial barns,
siIos and other modern conveniences
which are so essential to successful
farm life.
Seventy per cent of the farm lands
in Ellis county are farmed by owners
while thirty per cent are tenant
farmed. An agricultural association
is maintained which has played an
important part in the agricultural
development of the county. This
association was organized in March
1920 after it was realized that such
associations are essential to the dew
elopment to a maximum of agricul-
tural sections. The association was
responsible for the introduction of
Kanred wheat in 1921 which is espe-
cially adopted for this soil and elm
attic conditions. Farmers to the num-
Der of 18O have been taught by this
association the culling of chickens;
boys and girls clubs for agriculture,
dairying and stock raising, domestic
science, domestic art and poultry
production have been formed; plans
for an extension campaign this fall
are now in the making and generally
speaking the association is developing
into an important factor.
Some dry farming is practiced in
Ellis county, the same as in other
western states. Dry farming is
farming by ali the known rules and
good common sense. Glass of
drought resisting crops are grown
and in the main, the sorghums make
up the dry land crops in Ellis coun-
tv. Truck farming is also followed
to some extent for local consumption
and some melons are raised. Fruit
is produced, there being 144 apple
trees and from 100 to 315 bushels
are produced annually; peaches are
raised on 1T trees; and cherries are
raised on 313 trees. This is not
fruit producing section as all trees
have been planted by the settlers
Kansas being a part of the vast
prairie regions making up the Great
American desert.
Kansas has so wide diversity OF
resources and interests with Oppor-
+unities that it may well be said that
there is something here for anyone
who wishes to invest or to work. The
one great industry is agriculture Ilke
the adjoining states in the Great
Central Plains and other Industries
are relatively small. It is especially
true that those who live in Western
Kansas and who have taken an active
part in its development and advance
noent, are considered fortunate.
Western Kansas and Ellis county
will always give returns to those who
wish to live and work while they live.
