WHAT THEY SAY in the REPUBLICAN: JUL 1914
Torrence Wolfe: “My wheat made 20 bushels per acre. I had it estimated at 18.”
Ted Getman: “Frank is doing fine at the hospital and is gaining in flesh. The doctors will not operate unless new developments make it necessary.”
Baldwin Smith: “I rode 30 miles, through the blazing sun, once to hear Sam Jones, who had greatly aroused my curiosity. Just as Jones was ready to step out on the platform; he didn’t; had the bellyache or something, and Ralph Parlette took his place. I never could bear to hear Parlette speak since. He will be on our Chautauqua platform this year and I’m going to try to quit hating him and give him an unprejudiced hearing.”
Mrs. Louis Gartner: “we hear the folks got through to Germany all right.”
Mrs. Emma Nees, Emeraldo, N. Dakota: “I think Dakota is just as good as Kansas; there is plenty of work and good wages up here for anybody that is willing to work. My daughter Jessie and my two sons Fred and Alfred have helped me make the living ever since we lived here in Emeraldo. It has been three years since we moved and we raise as good crops here as anywhere. I would like to have the Hoffers read this letter.”
Mrs. Milt Betts: “Bull snakes are harmless, and I don’t bother them; but this one was bound to come in the house, so I took the hoe and killed him.”
Dr. Housel: “Mrs. Housel and Merle are in Cripple Creek this summer with Alta. I am going up among the lakes for a few weeks.”
J.O. Brunnemer: “If the weather should turn hot and dry, you’d see farmers jump to get up new silos.”
Miss Clara Sapp: “I had a good time teaching normal, but I’m glad it’s over.”
W.S. Canan: “Please change the address on my paper from P.O. Box 193 to 644 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, Kan. I have been spending a couple of months down at, and near Portland, Texas, and have just returned to Kansas; I was greatly surprised to note the wonderful changes that had taken place there since I had been there before, a year ago last winter, towns and country are both building up rapidly, and there are evidences of substantial improvement on every hand and that country is rapidly becoming, what it finally will be – the garden spot of American. I have now tested the different seasons there, and am prepared to say, without equivocation or mental reservation, that it is more pleasant there, both summer and winter, than is any other place in which I have lived. The Jewell county people there are all doing well, some of them will soon reach the plutocrat class. If the friends of Manfred Crites could see him and his healthy, happy family at home, see the evidences of their material prosperity on every hand, enjoy their hospitality or see them out in their fine big touring car, as they go to town, church or to bathe in the surf, I am sure they would agree that they had made no mistake when they went to Texas. I will probably spend the rest of the summer here, and may go south again next fall. After forty years residence in Jewell county and with many friends in every township, no other place can ever be to me, so near like home and I would like to stay in Kansas until after the election and help restore to power the party that has blazed the way to every reform that has found its way to our statue book and has made it a good state in which to live, and the indications are abundant that every avenue that leads home is being crowded with returning prodigals. Someway the Democratic husks that they have been receiving do not satisfy them, and they are tired of being used as an ‘aid society’ to the Democratic party. And now we are reaching a place that enables us to begin to spell Harmony with a capital H. Surely if the regular Republicans can vote for Capper, and they will, the Progressives ought to be able to vote for Curtis, if he should be nominated, and I believe they will.”
Hiram Robbins: “I can buy goods cheaper in case lots in Jewell than I can send away for them.”
Guy Harrison: “If I’d harrowed my wheat at the right time after the rain I am satisfied it would have made me a lot of money. The ground seemed to run together and I’ll get only 20 bushels per acre where I got 40 last year.”
R.L. McDaniel: “I can make $10 looking after my farms while I make $1 in the real estate business.”
S.I. Green: “There’s a new electric cook stove at our house, but the same old cook. They both work fine.”
Sam’l Long: “The first thing the threshers did over to Burt’s was to run a claw hammer through the machine.”
Mrs. Alice Ruggles: “If the marshal wants to catch motor car scorchers he should come down on Delaware street. They go by our place like they were shot out of a gun.”
Jake Ford: “Some of my corn never saw a cultivator.”
W.E. Evans: “I made my silo 16 feet across, but if I had it to do over I’d make it 14 or 12. When the cows were on the wheat this spring they took less silage, and any that was exposed to the air and not eaten would spoil. I milk seven cows, but I’d have a separator, I believe, if I only milked one.”
Gov. Kreamer, Hot Springs, Ark: “40 days without rain down this way.”
H.M. Wheeler: “When corn is ready to tassle you all know just what it needs.”
10 JUL 1914
Jack Moore: “I never hauled a barrel of water in my life.”
Miss Helen Jones, Stockton, Kan.: “I’m not coming home until I learn to swim.”
Mrs. Mable Kramer: “I’ve had more fun boating on the Jewell lake than I ever had in Kansas City.”
Mrs. Bertha Postlethwaite: “what worries me about the fire is to think of those good hardwood floors burning.”
Mrs. M.A. Gee: “I’m going to learn to drive the auto myself, then Mr. Gee can’t say I made him late. He can walk on when he’s ready.”
Mrs. L.D. Griffee; “Rev. and Mrs. Channer are doing a great deal for Goodland.”
Barthalow Park: “I’m an experienced farmer all right. I’m no greenhorn.”
Baldwin Smith: “As to congressman, I never did take any stock in Dr. Dykes. Connelly is a free trader and the woman stands no show on earth. Take your choice.”
Max White: “I caught a fish but forgot to jerk and it got away.”
N.D. Pence: “Changing these old time Democrats is a good deal like changing an old time tobacco chewer.”
Paul Drake: “The sale of that delivery wagon ought to come under the blue sky law.”
F.I. Drake: “We sold sixty cas
