DODGE CITY
Nimed for Col. Henry I. Dodge,
Dodge City, Kansas, became one of
the country's most picturesque cat-
tle centers, t’ e cowboy capital of the
southwest, l'ieie the Santa Fe and
Arkansas River Trails met. Trav-
ellers came with stories of Indian
attacks on w. ’on trains. Cowboys
drove in herd of thousands of cattle
for shipment cast on the railroad.
Others rested and watered herds of
young steers there before going
north. The songs of soldiers and
hunters mingled with the shouts of
cowboys. Fearless, spirited men
whose grandsons are now turning
back tiie enemies far overseas
founded that city. War Bonds fur-
nish weapons rr.d f 1 for the men
fighting today to fulfill their ances-
tors’ dreams, u. S. Treasury Department
Many unions are putting
the almighty dollar above
everything else.”—M. R.

ers Journal.
