West side of Square, Great Bend, Kansas DEALER IN Keno and Sedgwick Counties, of which Hutchinson and Wichita are the re spective county seats, are soon to be con verted into vast rice fields. Some capitalists from the east are now negotiating for the pui chase of said counties for the purposes mentioned. They have visited all portions of those counties and find that they are eminently adapted to the culture of rice, as the uniform depth of water over the surface of each county is all that could be desired.

In a short time Kansas will vie with the Orientals in the culture of this essential article of food. The only portion of land in either county that will be unavaliable will be the town sights of Hutchinson and Wichita, as the depth of water at those points is too great; but they will answer as reservoirs for irrigating pur poses in time of long protracted dry weather an -event that may possibly happen even to the counties mentioned.

It is no doubt true that ailments of the body cause a depress ing and morbid condition of the mind but it is no less true that sorrowful and disagreeable emotions produce disease in persons who. uninfluenced by them would be in sound health or, if disease is not produced, the functions are disor dered. Aot even physicians always con eider the Importance of this fact Agree able emotions set in motion nervous cur rents, which stimulate blood, brain, and every part of the system into healthful activity: while grief, disappointment feeling, and brooded over present sorrows or past mistakes, depress all the vita forces.

To Great Bend, especially, with her natural position, located as she is at the confluence of the Walnut with the Ar kansas of whose fair future we of Rush are as proud as though it were within our borders the prosperity of our coun ty, independent of any local consideration, will only be so much more wealth poured into the lap of that young metropolis. As well you might try, by erecting some puny barrier, to prevent the waters of the alnut from reaching the Arkansas, as to prevent by any artificial means the trade of a large part'of this county from always seeking Great Bend as its natural outlet.
