THE FAIR.

The Southern Kansas Fair is already re-
cognized as one of the most important adj
vertising mediums for Kansas that has yet
been discussed, said President Clover sew
eral days since when visiting this city He
continued that if the farmers would con-
tinue TO support the enterprise as they
already showed willingness to do that
Kansas would acquire reputation abroad
that is justly her due and which no other
means of advertising could effect. In his
mind there was no question about what
the merchants would do in the matter, as
there was not a successful business man
but knew of how much Importance the
fair would prove to him personally 10 say
nothing of Southwestern Kansas. He was
in receipt Of a great many letters from
people abroad who intended to visit this
section at that time in order to gain the
greatest amount of knowledge in the least
possible time. Secretary McNair says
that the success of the fair is already as.
sured, and he never before knew of fair
that had better prospects. Beyond ques-
ton the people coming here expect to see
great things and if the interest was kept
up no one would be disappointed. 1t Is an
assured fact that the agricultural display
will be one of the finest and the farmers
never were in a better position to enter in
to such a competition. The race track
will be an object of unusual interest and
the best horses in the county are already
booked to make this fair.
The different members of the directory
seem to feel very much encouraged and
say that no difficulty is found in getting
everybody to put his shoulder to the
wheel

CORNER STONE CEREMONIES.
Something About City Hall Binding and tn
Fourth of July Program--Oratory Scarce.

The committee on public buildings were
some time ago instructed by the city coUn-
ell to make all necessary arrangements for
laying the corner stone for the new city
hall In accordance with a common Gus
tom in erecting public buildings. the COM
mittee has placed the matter In the hands
of the Masons, and the corner stone will
be laid under the imposing rites and cere-
monies of the Masonic order on July 4.
There will be grand parade in which all
the organizations of the city are invited
TO join.
The council committee consisting Of Car
son, Glaze and Martin expect TO hold g
meeting tomorrow and give the matter
some attention The program for the day
has not yet been fully made out The
committee in all probability viii select

So far no one has been secured TO deliver
the address. The Hon. George 7. Anthony
has been invited to deliver the address but

will be impossible for him TO accept the
invitation He observes that oratory on
the Fourth is usually above par and he
had already made an engagement else

The blacksmith department gives employ

WORK WINS,

He who sits with folded hands and does nothing
will accomplish nothing"
A boom is the outgrowth of ceaseless
labor, and as has been well said in the col
umns of an eastern journal, 1T comes
only as the result of actual merit, and is
only the product of the unanimity, lib
erality and foresight of body of citizens
who plan and build better for the future
because of the experience of the past That
the past work done by the citizens of
Wichita has made this city what she is
today no one will deny, and that the re-
sponsibiIity of its future remains with
those who are here to work cannot be
questioned
Each man, woman and child is capable
of doing something to advance the inter
ests of this city. We should build better
for the future, improve what we have and
make the most of each moment to do what
we can. Not day passes, that there is
not an opportunity offered to do some
thing and those who neglect the oppor-
tunity will be the losers.
Let improvement be the watchword and
one year will work wonders. Polish up
the handle of the big front door. Hang out
the word Welcome" Say Good morn
ing" to your neighbor and speak well of
the city to strangers. Don't sit with folded
hands but find something to do and then
keep at it until you have accomplished it,
and it won't be long before there will be
more time than you can take care of.
There is always work to be found and
work to do Wichita can be made the
most beautiful city in the west, and if the
most beautiful then the most attractive,
then the most desirable place to live in
How much work will you contribute to
make Wichita city that the whole state
can point to with pride?

RAPID NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Alonzo G.. Rudd, a thrifty farmer of
Waco township, reports wheat of first
quality and good crop even if some was
thin on the ground. He also reports some
rapid work in harvesting. Five men with
header put one hundred acres in stack in
four days-the best half days work was
eighteen acres, the boys trying to make
record
Mr.. Rudd in conversation regarding
various phases of farm life and success in
Kansas gave these reasons for being
strongly attached to Kansas. He came
here eleven years ago from Illinois where
he had lost by crop failures and was five
hundred dollars worse off than nothing,
and now has a finely improved farm of two
hundred and forty acres with a large
amount of machinery, an abundance of
stock, fire house, horses and carriages, all
made upon the farm. He believes in a
thorough system and more work. He has
experimental several years and finds that
corn does best where listed. He plows in
the fall very shallow TO cut or cover the
growing weeds, then in the spring it is not
much trouble to keep corn clean, and the
ground is in condition for listing without
another blowing. Last summer after the
oat crop was off he listed corn on forty
acres and the result was very satisfactory,
for at little expense he had q splendid pas
ture of corn and oats until winter. BY
experience he finds it more profitable 10
avoid trying TO cultivate too much; better
go over less ground and do it better.
Let our eastern friends note this: One
man can cultivate or raise fifty acres of
corn in one season and do it well, and
other crops do not require more labor in
proportion. So come and see these men
who do not fail but have acres of fine
orchards loaded with fruit-apples, peach
IS, cherries, grapes, pears, etc.
Mr. Rudd said a great item with him
was the climate and excellent roads He
said fifteen thousand dollars would not
tempt him TO leave his property here, as
he did not believe he could find any better
country for health, wealth and happiness.

TIE COLLEGE HILL SCHOOL,

The College Hill folk held a meeting
last night to discuss the matter of the To-
cation of their new school house. They
start out with the proposition that they
are hard to please or that the locating
committee have no desire to please them
When the appropriation was made for a
school building for them desirable site
was secured being ample space and the
purchase made. They have always felt
that the board of education had some
reason for not wanting to build on the
hill and an effort was made to locate the
new building nearer the city instead of
upon the site selected. They always felt
they were unanimous on the subject of
the location and were never clear about
the reasons for wanting to place their
building anywhere but where they wanted
it. AS no one was found to come forward
and say that the building should
be placed elsewhere than on
the site selected, it was eventually settled
in accordance with their wishes The Col
lege Hill people then, naturally, assumed
the building would be placed in the center
of the lot, and forthwith made arrange
ments to plant trees and otherwise deco
rate the grounds at their expense. When
the work actually commenced it was
found that the locating committee had
placed the building in one corner of the
lot, and it was said that it was the inten-
ton of the board to sell part of the prop
erty, since values had advanced. This
caused some feeling of Indignation, and
they met last night to discuss the matter
and assure themselves that they knew
what they wanted, and to ascertain the
reasons for the action of the committee
The meeting resulted in a definite settle
ment of the first question, but it was
forced to give up the latter, as too difficult
for solution. Ways and means being next
in order the meeting went into executive
session.
