sistants from the attorney -general's office as to the authenticity of the story that Western Kansas moonshine was being distributed over the state by an aerial express. They said they had heard the story and were investigating it. The wealtniest men in most small towns are the bankers. In Western Kansas the wealthiest men and the most prominent men are the real estate agents. Scott City has a population of about 1,200 but it has several times as many real estate agents as Atchison A steady stream of settlers pour into Western Kansas but there is also a stream headed out.

The country is steadily but very slowly settling up. Some settlers become well-to-do but more of them fail to make it and leave. There are scores of farms in Scott county that look as prosperous as some of the best farms in Atchison county. The owners of these. wellimproved places have made a scientific study of dry farming and have made money at it.

They have fine cattle and hogs and are doing well. a The Atchison's men attention was attracted to a farm that had fine improvements. The house was large and well built, there, were several large barns and place looked almost as modern as the splendid farm owned by C. P. Higley and which he purchased from B.
