"lie was badly mistaken" article in the Lyndon Current Remark: "I presume," said the man from back east as he align tea in a Central Kansas town, ''that the gentleman we see dressed In broadcloth and wearing patent leathers ia tha preldent of one of your baokl." 'President of a bank!" snorted the Kansas whom he had "Well I guess not. The man you refer to Is a moneyed mao'. He owns one hundred and sixty acres of good Kansas soil."

Wuile it Is right and proper that those having land to lease should be careful how tbey lease, still they oiiht not to go to the extreme of refusing to lease under any conditions, and to eta mi la tbe way cf the developing of this territory. A lease can ha drawn iu suuh a way to become null and void unless something is actually done. By all means the proper thing to do is to entourage every more that has this object in view.

lo Whom It May Concern- We take this method to notify the writing ptiblis to be more careful in addressing letters and other mail matter. We have discovered errors like tbeae no city or state on envelope, tV.iea abrevlated like Kana Cily for Kntisas City, 11 worth for Leavenworth. All mail not properly address, ed will fall under the law to be dealt with by the postmaster aa the department directs. Most of this mail goes to tbe Dead Letter office aDd will not be returned because your address is not on your letter aod you frequently wonder what became of 'your mall. Stamps should be placed on the right band upper corner and the address should be written low enough so the sUmpcanbe cancelled without defacing tbe address.
