Tribbett, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Observations HY MONT.OK IIL'SII. A we had about lost track of the ?i in !"'. t ciunty, and up till June had net ,iad a hair dozen sunshiny la- all Mirinir. I com-lu-led to take a hike for Kana.. the land of sunshine. Itit winds, tyclanes, bourns, and real st.ite agents. All the way to Chicago the lam continued a i-teady ly npour. The great Windy City was rather ijniet but the people all seemed In be gi'ing like they were hunting a 'octor and the hind wheels of their vehicles t lying to catch the front The next morning found us in Iowa, .wth the we.-.ther stilt wet and gioomy fbe crops were untended and backvard until after we passed Knnsas City, As we noared Wichita, we be-s-an to see some prospect for reducing .he H. C. of L. Wheal Just fine, com iiad been plowed, alfalfa nearly ready for second cutting, and people featng on peas, new potatoes, and other '.hings from the garden. -JVichita, like many other Kansas .owns, is like a politician's reputation subject to expan.-Ion and contraction. Several years ago this town cuilt out in all directions and then hail t long period of contraction. The) tre building up strain but not so much f a boom as before, Wichita has some big mills and levators, and the first thing Monday ""iri'ng R relative took rue for s trip through a packing house. At the 'ront door we met a very nieo looking nan wearing a cap and btue clothes, vho very courteously informed us that they were not receiving callers. We ried to convince him that we did not nave in-our possession any dynamite or gas bombs, were not intimate I friends of the kaiser and in fact were lot related to the Hohenzollern fam-1 ly, but he shook his head and said :here was nothing doing. Most all the big industries are likewise guarded. The mercury bepan to rise soon after I got to Wichita and in two ys, had reached 102 in the shade, ih promise of even better than that the next day. But that night it made sudden reverse, and by midnight 1 is made to feel the folly of unprenarednens. I began to think that I ould be compelled to get up and put is my necktie to kerp fiom freezing. Farly in the week Mis Ruth law ew over from Hutchinson and sailed round the town for quite a spell. Owing to her short stay, and not knowing that I was there, she did not on me. She went to Oklahoma and flew: over to Jopiln. Misanuri, one hundred and ten miles in eighty minutes. 1 was real glad she had not invited me to take the trip with her. For several year this part 'of Kansas has been noted for thrift and tendency for hat fling big schemes. md alo seems to be sort of an inuhator for hatchinff out cyclones. On atrip to Hitchinfon I passed by Anh.Ie, a little town that was recently fvisred out of existence by a verj irulent type of cyclone. Everything ,-! destroyed but n church hnd two or t.h ree hou.Hcs on the west end of the site. They are starting to build again to be ready for the next one. Alfalfa, com and wheat all look il in this part of the state. Hut chinson is a' flourishing city; well baiit, large mills and elevators and big r.alt, works. I saw enough salt in one building to furnish a barrel to vriy f.umef in Boone county, ao then enough left to cure every freshman in the Ibanon h:gh school. If 1 wan out to tie '.he blue ribbon on nny j Iw.n outside of lhwne county, I would I tie it on Hutchinson, Kaneas, j I sjicnt one (lav at Conwat Springs I'Vi it'ng with John Staton, fftvloi rtdair, and Nm hdwanO. all former j Knnr em.nty ixwijiii-.

JACKSOV TOWNSHIP. M, E. Foley of Indianapolis will speak at Jamestown Saturday night at 8:45 o'clock. Dennis Shannuhan has begun building his new house ' Jonn Cunvb s and Garl Kincaid are i'..:'-'- tlm work. T. F. Stockton b suffering from a paralytic st.cUe. Mrs. Gary, of Illinois, has come for a visit with Mrs. Fry, a sister. The Jamestown Chautauqua will open July 8th and continue five days. Lonnie Hedge is working at the Max elevator. Mrs. Emma Roby, who has been visiting relatives in and near Jamestown has returned to her home in Eddyvilla, Ky. The minister of the North Salem Christian church, and the Jamestown Christian church exchanged pulpit-; last Sunday night. of a Hayseed ty. The country didn't look very en t icing to a Boone county farmer, but there was a fine stand of oil derricks I am -.ure I saw a thousand derricks and that was not all. From the numlier of pijw lines and large tanks in siht I am certain they have enough oil t-i grease the earth's axis, with sever il million gallons left to pour on the troubled waters of Europe. On my way East again I had a fehours' wait at Joplin, Missouri. The city is noted fiw the lead and zinc. The biggest mines of the world are claimed to be over a few miles from there in the comer of Oklahoma. From Jonlin, I proceeded to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and observed some very prominent feat'i es of the earth's surface. In fact I saw what I took to be some of the earth's short ribs sticking out in one place. 1 didn't have opportunity to look for any more of the earth's anatomy as the conduct'T had warned me not to stick my head out of the car window- more than a foot or so as it endangered telegraph poles and they are expensive. That section of the world I;. is a good many fine points as 1 found vt hen I rode over it in a buggy. The buggy didn't seem to miss any of the points. My next stop was in Lawrenet county, Missouri, wheie the farming situation was very encouraging. There had been great improvement in the country and especially in their roads since I was there several years ago. Incidentally 1 might say that in some pai-is of Missouri there are'stiil those incient monuments of heathenism the saloon. Hut the people have the rit, and are determined to cut the monster's head olf the next time they get a chance at him. As I left Springfield, I saw a yelft" dog going at full speed down the right-of-way trying to catch our train. 1 was through there thirty ears ago and saw a dog trying to pull oft that same stunt. I don't suppose this was the same dug but it goes to show that wtiile the Missouri people keep right up with the times, the Missouri dog still has to be ,howed." From Willow Springs. Mo., I pro ceeded southward through that noted fruit belt around Weft Plains. Th have had numerous storms and cylones this spring which injured some of their crops. At Truman, Ark., we were held up for tw-o hours waiting for a wreck to be cleared olf the track ahead of us. One of the oldest cit izens volunteered a good deal of valuable information about the city. The Singer Sewing Machine company ni millions of feet of lumber Tor their factories and they also have a bit, stave factory, and ronfiilentially. he told me that they had not had a "nigger" in their town for several years, and when he explained their persuasive methods I didn't biame thf colored folks for staying away from that place. Slany miles of thi.s country is very w-et and the crops do not look very promising. We finally crossed the Father of Waters at Momphis and 1 had my first glimpse of my father's native stab'. I very' properly started out to find something for an empty stomach anH just outside the depot met a vertsmooth looking man who injuired if 1 would not like to have something to go under my belt.

I ! -- sure would and that was my mission just then. He said if I could be trusted and confidential he could fur nish me a very good brand of belt stretcher at one dollar per pint. I told him I thought no deubt that was lUite a bargain but perhaps 1 could get a small steak for twenty-five ents and a little potato for fifteen cents and these with a little bread and butter and a cup of coffee, I could pull through the present crisis, and not be ipt to "bust" my belt. I dim t know just what a blind tiger looks like but this fellow- had some of the narkings of that beast and was will; ng to distribute liquid lightning at every opportunity. , i crossing Arkansas and Tennessee I observed a very pretty custom. It seems that if a man's com or cotton needs hoeing, hiy wife and sometimes six or seven children were right out in the field helping him. A kind of family affair, so to speak. 1 have been enlarging on the appropriatei and heauly of this system to my better half, or perhaps most people would say two-thirds, but she don't seem to get It through her head, especially the beauty of it; so I suppose if I have to hoe any corn I will have to go to it alone or the same as Jim Stalcy or any other old bachelor. My oh.-icrvationi! led me to believe that the H. C. of L. has not been ao noticeable in the states I passed through as here. I think I ran safely say that the ladies have not been compelled to skimp so much in the length of the dresses as in Indiana. The said garments were at least an inch or an inch and a half longer thaa the same article here and the most timid men could go right down the busy streets at any time. One man explained that as the bottom of the skirts and top of the shoes are supposed to have at lea-vt a neighborly, acquaintance and leather is so expensive they found tt rheauci- to add to the skiru than to the shoes. On this trip I noticed numerous M various automobiles, but like the flea or bedbug, the fnskv bttle rord always gf t there.
