Arrangements have been made by the Christian church congregation, to secure Elder iloziman to preach twice a mouth at this place. Wo want good reliablo correspondents in Wyandotte, Leavenworth and Johnson counties, and we Khali make an effort to secure them at an early date.

Mrs.B. E. Dje, of Chicago, has been In luck. There Is prosperity ahead for her farmers. The condition of rops, the course of Uio markets and the trend of oil things seem to be iu icr favor.

Tho April report of tho Depart ment of Agriculture shows a low condition of the crowing wheat crop. which indicates that the country will ra'e i0 million bushels less this year than were raised last year. But iu Kansas tho conditions are good and with an increased acrcaire that stale promises to raise 10 million bushels more this year than last. The reduc tion in the crop of the country means advance of 5 to 7 cents a bushel in prices. Kansas win, tnertiore, get more per bushd for- this year's increased crop than she got lat year for a smaller crop.

Better than this is the fact that Kan sas has held back a bigger percentage of la.st year's huge com crop than any other surplus-producing state in the Union. The riso iu prices of corn, which Is now at hand, will therefore benefit her more than any other state. Corn is now selling nearly 4 Cents her than it sold six weeks ago. The advance in wheat will probably carry prices of corn 1 or 2 cents higher. Kansas granaries are even now full to tho roofs of corn as If the crop had ust been gathered.

The advance In prices wiilhelpthefartners immensely. Kansas raised finer corn this year than any other Btato In the Union. It is worth a premium to begin with, nd has been all through the season Only 5 per cent of tha crop was un merchantable. Of the Iowa crop 8 per cent, of the Indiana crop SI per cent was unmerchantable. Kansas corn has been preeminently the export corn of this reason.

The government report it-sued yes terday states lhat losses of cattle from diseases, exposure and other causes during the winter amounted to about a million head. Very little of this was in Kansas. Such loss cannot fail to have some influence in the way of advancing the price of cattle. So Kansas is in luck again. It Is not just the proper thing to glorify over tho misfortunes of others.

Kansas cannot afford to do that and Iocs not dolt. But Kaiias has been singularly blessed in her escape from misfortunes, and in occupying a posi- to Bd'fiirue'iiy helped by the mis fortunes which have befallen others The damage to the wheat crops of other states will help Kansas im mensely. Perhaps it will cause a suf ficient rise price to net the farmer as much out of a f-iir sized crop th year ns he got out of a crop last year. If the Kansas farmer were not compelled to pay a bounty af about 4" cent on most of his necessary pur chases, ho might look forward to a gree of prosperity which the farm ing class once enjoyed iu thu country. What Bonner Springs most needs at the present time is more inanufavtor- s.

They are certainly indisponsihle to its future prosperity. We are sur rounded byjis good a farming suction as the sun ever shone upon. The Union Pacific and Santa Fe railroads furnish excellent shipping facilities but we must have factories to furnish employment for our people and to at- ract others to come here. The build ing of one or two industries of this kind, would increase the value of all property in town as well as iu the sur rounding country. The persons employed would have to bo fed, clothed and housed.

The grocers, the dry goods merchants and butchers would have a larger and a better paying trade, and carpenters and laborers of all klnds.would find plenty of work to do at good wages. Instead of organ I.ing clubs to make warfare upon manufacturers, let us give them all the encouragement in our power to locate here and help build up our town and county. The idea that the manufacturing industries of this country are enemies to is we fare is erroneous, and the sooner we dispel such thoughts the better It will be. They are always a blessing to the town that Is fortunate enough to secure them. As long as we havo to send abroad for all or most of the manufactured articles we use and sell our farm products in the city markets, we can never expact to accumulate wealth.

What we need is a home market and nothing will build it up quicker or bolter than manufacturing enterprises. Let us have factories of in Bonner Springs, and our farmers will find a much better market for their products at home than they now receive in the largo cities. An Important Ofter.
