Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Claiborne have
returned from Fort Riley, . Kan.,
where they spent the Fourth visiting
their son, Harry, who is in the medi

men at work. A syndicate has pur
chased a tract of ground just east of
the military reservation and is laying
out a -town, which is to be known as
Army City. A few buildings already
. are uncjer construction.
Many of the farmers near the post
have abandoned ordinary agriculture
"and gone to raising vegetables for the
soldiers. One potato patch of
eighty acres lies along the border of
the reservation, . Tracts approxi
mately as large of onions ancj cab
bage are not uncommon.
