Return From Western Trip.

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mauek returned home Monday from a five weeks visit with relatives in the west at Emporia, Topeka, Wichita, and other points in Kansas. Crops are very good there, especially wheat, which is extra good, but it is a little too dry for corn. Most of the time they spent with Mrs. Mauck’s father and brother and sisterß, near Emporia. About Emporia considerable Kaffir corn is raised, and it is looking fine. Altai: a is also grown quite extensively. One day at Emporia, while they were there, the mercury got up to 104 and a hot wind blew all day. Mr. and Mrs. Mauck had a very pleasant visit and enjoyed the trip very much.
