Wheat Harvest Outlook.

The weather service report for the
past week says; The wheat harvest hos
been in full blast in the southern tier
of counties and has generally begun in
the second tier. The wheat is ripeu-
ing now as far north as the Kaw; in
Coffey it is very good stand, the straw
generally being from 80 to 40 inches
long, the heads well filled and plump.
In Kingman the straw and heads are
short; but the latter well filled and
plump; in Kiowa the wheat will be
light; in the northern part of Ford
most of 1t will not be worth harvesting;
in Ness and Rush it is nearly a total
failure; Barton will have wheat for
bread and seed but not for export; in
Graham there Is little hope of crop;
in Logan the prospect Is very poor,
some better In Thomas aud improving

The Phonograph as u Musical instrument.
Some persons have expressed fear
lest the wide distribution of an ap-
paratus capable Of echoing all sorts of
music, in a more perfect fashion than
any music-box, might lead to the
gradual extinction of piano-plnying or
violin-playing, except for purposes of
public exhibition, the photographic
echo Of some great performers work
being so much superior to what most
people could hope 10 accomplish. II
seems to me that the contrary would be
the result. Cheap monographs, giving
more or less perfect echoes of music.
might make superfluous the painful at
tempts-painful to others as well as
to herself-of the unmusical young
woman TO master impossibilties. To
the person of real musical instinct and
capacity, the wealth of good music
would certainly prove an incentive.
When the phonograph goes everywhere,
and photographic music is cheap. the

DRuMMERS' DAY.

The. Worlds fair committee on cere-
monies has assigned June 10 as the
fete day Of the Commercial Travel
ers' Protective association. The pro-
gramme will be a very elaborate one
and will include the attendance of at
least 5000 travelling men from almost
every state in the Union. The annual
convention will be held at Peoria, Ills,
on June 9, z and 6, and on the 9th the
delegates and members will adjourn to
Chicago, special trains being chartered
for the purpose. The Peoria people are
raising $1,000 for the entertainment of
the travelling men.
There will be parades and other festiv-
tiles at Peoria, and at Chicago there will
be mammoth parade. The "boys" will
be in 20 state divisions, each division
headed by a first class band, and other
steps will be taken to make the parade
one of the biggest events of the season and
Of the fair. Special trains will be on hand
to take the travelling men out to jackson
park. where there will be another parade
and ceremonies of very unique char
acter. Six orators of national reputation
will deliver addresses, and the governors
Of 10 states will also occupy positions on
the platform.

Mrs. Catherine Ploch, who has lived
near Rome, Ind, for quite number OF
years, and who was born in Germany,
near Frankfort, in 1924, and is now in her
69th year, has beaten the record for work,
having in the past twelve months knit
ted on the common knitting needles four
mems jackets, thirty-two pairs of silk
gloves and mits, twenty-five pair saxony
yarn gloves, two bed quilts, eight yards
of lace, twenty-four pairs socks, twelve
pairs stockings, and spun on little old
wheel brought over from Germany TWEEN
ty barrels of wool just as il was cut from
the sleeps back. She walked each day
during the blackberry season four miles
to the blackberry patch and picked sew
enty gallons OF berries. She also dried
ten bushels of apples. She says in the
past ten years she has knitted forty-tive
quilts. She thinks il only good exercise

WONDERSOFTHEWORLD.
How They Are Displayed at the
Columbian Exposition.
ONE DAY AT JACKSON PARK.
A Preliminary Survey which Gives the
Reader an Idea Of the Scope Of
the Fair and How
to See It.

Now that we are in Chicago and
about to visit the Worlds fair grounds
the question arises. How shall we go?
There are dozen ways of going, but we
want to take the quickest way. We are
near the Illinois Central station, 80 let's
go over and catch a train. They run
one every two minutes on special track
to the fair grounds. and besides the sub
urban trains take lots Of visitors out.
There are several roads running to the
grounds, among them the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Northern Pacific, the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern and the
Pennsylvania systems.
Then there are the cable lines and the
elevated road, which latter has stations
at Sixty-third street and on the roof of
the Transportation annex. The cable
lines run on Wabash avenue and State
street. You can catch car at any time
on either Of those streets up town. Will
the roads be able to handle all the pas
senger traffic2 That question has been
asked thousands of times, and there Is
only one answer-that is "Yes." At the
terminal station alone there are 35 stand
ing tracks for arriving and departing
trains, which make facilities for the re-
ceptior of 100000 people every hour.
The cable lines can handle 10000, and
the elevated road 10000, not to mention
the 10000 or 10000 who can be taken
care Of by the steamship lines, nor the

kind, q series Of more than 100 moral
and intellectual expositions, or conven-
tions, have been arranged for this sum-
mer in Chicago. The avowed object Of
the Worlds Congress auxiliary In organ
izing these international congresses is to
establish fraternal relations among the
leaders of mankind, review the progress
already achieved, state the living prob
lens now awaiting solution and suggest
the means Of further progress.
In other words, the spirit of what Is
called university extension is the spirit
of this international congress scheme

congresses as worthy Of a worldwide
publication as possible, to reduce as far
as practicable the expense Of such publ

and duplicate assignments of speakers,
to secure such strength and force Of
treatment as will insure the widest read
ing, and to secure just representation
of all the participating countries, the
themes to be presented in the various
congresses will be selected with view

here Is the German village, made up Of
houses of medieval times partly, the
modern buildings being representative
of different parts Of the empire. Now
comes the other half of the Dutch village,
beyond which are the japanese bazaar
and the glass works.
This is the end of our rather swift tour
Of the Worlds fair. OF course we have
had but a superficial look at the greatest
exposition the world ever conceived. To
study it thoroughly means work Of
months, even If one give his attention
only to those things that interest him
most. But we have been through the
fair and have seen it in way. Now, IL
you have time to study and enjoy 1t, you
know how to go about it Systematically
from the survey you have made. This
preliminary survey is advisable even If
you have plenty of time to spend, for it
will save you more than little annoy
snce and confusion in your after studies

Illinois Central. These figures Of course
apply in the case of an occasional rush,
such as Is likely to occur on the Fourth
of July or on Illinois day. In these
emergencies the transportation facilities
are equal to the task of accommodating
at least 100000 people.
A Glimpse Of Midway PIaisance.
Here we are at Midway plaisance.
This is about as good place to disem-
bark as any. and it is one of the features
of the fair besides. The entrance Is on
Cottage Grove avenue, on which street
the cable lines run; Washington park Is
just beyond. Midway plaisance is near
ly mile in length. AS we enter the
grounds the first structure that greets
our eyes is the Women's building This
Is headquarters for the women of the
world, and visit to 1t will teach us
much about the advancement of the sex
in this day and age.
Before we go any farther you may
as well know that one admission fee en-
titles you to see everything within the
grounds except the Eskimo village and
the Cliff Dwellers' pavilion. All this talk
you have heard about there being extra
charges at every turn is nonsense. All
