A competent toast master Will be at the

are not had better be thinking of some

those who are not expecting il. OF
course, speeches are expected from both
Mr.. Dale and Mr.. Reed and some elo-

Thornton W. Sargent, who is one Of
the committee on arrangements, said
yesterday that the banquet will be a
notable event and that no lawyer
should miss il. He said that when the
date is definitely agreed upon the fact
Will be announced through the Eagle.

Wichita GS by no means a grave yeard
