Inquire at this oibce. WCTU COLUMN- BY MRS. ANNA NEPTUNE. "Where Are We At?" An able article by Rev. H.

Fraser. A uniform organization of the tem perance forces of the state is what needed. First, for the purpose of holding meetings regularly in each town at least ence in two months; and second, of the officers the performance of their duty. Fail to educate the community, and one day the community will vote away the prohibitory law of our state. Fail to see to it that the law is en forced, and some day the community will vote away the prohibitory law under the plea that prohibition does not prohibit.

Educata the people by holding reg ular public meetings, and the people will cry aloud that the officers enforce the law. Compel the officer to do his duty and confidence will take the place of disgust and dissatisfaction. will then be seen that prohibition indeed prohibits, and prohibition means the lessening, of all sorts of crime and political corruption and the establishment of peace and prosperity. Organize and agitate to build up the organization. Not simply agitate to allow the sentiment created to evaporate by having no organization to utilize the sentiment created.

What else? One thing more we must do; that is, carry the message of temperance to every home in every community in Kansas. There is a who never attend the public temper- meeting. How are we to reach hem? The vicious newspaper is reaching this influence we must counteract, bupplant as far as possible. Once a quarter tract should be fjut in every home in every town of Kansas. The tract should be suited to exists ng conditions.

They should be practical appealing to the business sense of the people, appealing to the heart and conscience of the people. (to be continued.) Died. Bennie Schul, son of Mr. and Mrs. K.

Schul, died Saturday July Cth after a short but very severe illness with spinal trouble. The funeral services were held Sunday by Rev. Geo. Ellers at the home of the par ents amid a large concourse of sympathetic friends. Bennie was nine years, three months and ten days old.

N. Aubuchon's. Holly, Colo. July 6th. The Grefting: Having been on the road the last five weeks driving through AATestern Kansas and Eastern Colo, in a prairie schooner being a good way to see the country as well as a delightful one, 1 write the follow ing as a few items of interest on our route and it might be that will be of interest to some of the readers of the Greeting.

The first week of our travel was mostly through the great wheat belt of going by the way of Wichita and Kingman. AVheat was looking only fair around Wichita and farther west near Kingman about a failure, owing to lack of rain for six weeks or more. However the drouth seemed to have broken when we came along going westward as we did, raining on us every night for a week. Going farther west we see scarcely any wheat, some corn and kaffir, most ly prairie fenced into pastures until we arain reach the Arkansas River, here considerable alfalfa is raised on the river bottoms only, sub-irrigated being the water supply, the first crop being very heavy but the next not very heavy. Large quantitsesof cattle are wintered on the Arkansas Valley every winter on alfalfa hay.

Farther westward in Colo, alfalfa grows in greit abundance. This is done However by irrigation the water supply being much larger than in Kansas, They most always have plenty of water. Some of this water is led out several miles from the river to the plains, where we also see fine alfalfa growing. The country in these places is apparently new yet there are large orchards and fruit of all kinds growing and doing well. Alfalfa in this country grows from 2J to 4 ft.

high and yields from 1J to 3 tons per acre at a cutting and three cuttings a year. Some parts of the country now looks like a town from a distance the stacks are so numerous and by fall there will still be considerable more. Farther west is the vicinity of Rocky Ford. Great quantities of sugar beets are raised also the famous Rocky Ford cantalope or musk melon, The sugar beet industry is quite an extensive one as well as a profitable one. Beet fields from 10 acres up to 1000 acres or more in one Help ha3 been very scarce in cultiuating these fields mostly done by the Mexicans and Russians.

The larger fields are owned by the campanies that control the water ditches. Thi3 beet industry yields the farmers from 30 to 00 dollars per acre a year net. A large sugar factory at Sugr City and Rock Ford handle all the beets. The land in this part is very valuable as to prices ra nging from 875 to $200 p( acre in the'-JOfintry. The in.l of three weeks travel landed us in Pueblo and a day and a half more in Colorado Springs and from there to the Garden of the Gods and to Manitou at the foot of Pike's Peak.

AVe intended sloping there a few days but as people that travel in a boomer wagon are considered there as an undesirable class of people but nevertheless we stayed a few days and went from there over theJMt. pass to Cripple creek. This place while it is quite a city is very quiet now. A7e found provisions, grain and hay very high there: corn and oats a dollar and a half to dollar sixty per hundred and hay 75c to one dollar per bale. Cripple Creek our turning point toward home going by way of Canyon City.

This placsand near surrounding is a gardes, and orchard and all kinds of fruit' scarcely any alfalfa and is a beautiful place? AVe stopped off a dry and walked six miles to see the Royal Gorge and swinging bridge- From Canyon City we traveled in a homeward direction down the Arkan sas valley but on the other side from whence we came. AVe Intended spend ing the fourth at Kockford but our calender got ahead of time so we found we were there one day too soon so we traveled on and at this writing camped on the Arkausas river in Colo, about ten miles from the Kansas line and will continue homewrad through the more southern part of Kansas R.
