WRITE FOR MY LITERATURE, IT’S FREE I am malling out thousands of coples of my publication, “Hungerford's Farmer and Rancher” to easterners whom I be- lleve should be interested in securing for themselves and families a western home. Dawes County is one of the four fore- most countles in the State in the yleld of crops—the per acre yleld. Yet, only about 16 per cent of this county is under cultivation. The balance, about 84 per cont s covered with native grasses, the buffalo, wheat and gramma grass. About 75 per cent of the country is cultivatible and 8l we need is men of energy. If you bave a few hundred dollars and a de- termination to succeed, write to me for my literature, explaining Dawes County, then, after you have read it, come up and see me and let me show you my country and the places T have for sale. You will be surprised at the vast oppor- tunities that await you here. Don't de- lay but write me today, then don't let anyone lle to you and tell you that they know this country and this and that, but come and see for yourself. I have some excellent opportunities here for in- vestment—improvement for the man who has some money to invest and yet can- not move here hi; I can rent his land to good advantage and bring him in good returns, besides the rapid increase in valuation. There is no chance to get away from a profit of 25 to 200 or 300 per cent. However, I am catering especial- ly to the man who will come in and help to develop the country, but I have many inquirfes from men who want to rent places here and can take excellently good care of a few Investors who have the money but not the time. My country is known by every man, woman and child in the mid west as “The Land of In- dependen ““The Garden Beyond the Sand Hills.” Drop me a card or a letter today for a copy of my “Farmer and Rancher, Most sincerely yours, ARAH L.

Fanning Says That Merit Will Always Be Recognized Here “Efficiency and seniority will be recognized by me as long as I am in charge of the postoffice,” stated Post- master Fanning, who added: “I am not contemplating any changes at this time, and if there should be any changes they will be for definite cause. | told the staff that as long as they do the work as it should be done and satisfy the public they serve, they need not fear any shaxe-up. Political considerations will have no place in my administration.” : Since Colonel Fanning assumed his new office at the postoffice there have been all sorts of rumors of a shake- up. Several old employes were be- ginning to feel nervous and all sorts of gossip has been circulated. Postmaster Fanning was asked to make a positive and public statement, which he did as qugjed.

Miss Emma Huneker, who has just returned from a ten months’ visit in the Philippines, Japan and China, has many interesting things (o say of the life among the Americans of the Orient. Miss Huneker spent a large part of her time in Shanghai as the guest of her sister, Mrs. Charles S. Lobingier, wife of the * 'ge of the American court for China. The United States and Great Britain are the only countries who have availed themselves of the privilege granted by China of establishing such courts for the bene- fit of their resident citizens. Mrs. Lobingier went to Shanghai in Feb- ruary, 1914, Miss Huneker found th: Orient ex- tremely interesting because of its rad- ical difference ?rom the Occident. Shanghai, becanse of its large Eng- lish and American population, was particularly notable. On the streets, old Chinese customs and sights jos- tled wtih the new world peoples and scenes, The picturesque “rickshaws” jostled with foreign motor cars and eople of every nation bumped elbows in the throng. Official Life. “The official life of Shanghai is particularly delightful,” said Miss Hu- neker. “The officers and their fam- ilies ai. all people of superior educa- tion and charming culture. During my stay in Shanghai I was entertained with Judge and Mrs. Lobingier at luncheon on board the ship Brooklyn by Admiral Winterhalten, in com- mand of the Asiatic fleet, X “The American women of Shanghai have organized a thriving club. In spite of their arduous social duties, they take a faithful interest in their club and make it a source of interest and benefit. Philanthropic, art, music and literature departments are main- tained. My sister, Mrs. Lobingier, is president of this club, and organized the first woman'’s club in Manila. “Just before I left (on July 5) I witnessed an unusual sight. Ameri- can Shanghai celebrated the Fourth of July. First there was a parade of the American volunteers and of the naval men from the Asiatic fleet. Then the American ambassador from Pe- king delivered an address. These were followed by a very American dinner at the Astor house and a ball in the evening. Women Remarkable. “The Chinese women are most re- markable. They have been held in subjection and under the narrowing influence of superstition so long that some are not yet able to stand forth, but those who do are wonderful Their grasp of western ideas and be- liefs is truly surprising and their poise is an accomplishment to be coveted. They are unexcelled as pub- lic speakers. Of course, this work is done in connection with the schools and the mission stations, . “The McTeygier school in Shanghai was eslablilheg for the benefit of the daughters of wealthy families and the irls who attend are extraordinary. 'wenty-six of the graduates of this school ‘are in American colleges, Au- thorities have said that Chind’s great- est undeveloped resource is its wom- enl” Miss Huneker was delighted with Chinese scenery of which we in America hear very little. One city in particular she mentioned which is called the Venice of the East. Like Venice, it has beautiful canals and artistic sights. This Chinese Venice is located fifty miles from Soochow. The ocean voyage was ver{ pleas- ant. Miss Huneker came by the northern route through the inland sea of Japan.
