where in the west, or any part Of the
country for that matter
They are men OF the same inspira tions
that have governed the people of Wich-
ita and guided them in making her a
city Of destiny.
They are men not only of wise heads
but big, generous hearts and there is
no doubt but what the meeting of both
bodies viii be a grand thing for the pro-
gressive cities which they represent.
They will be here on the forenoon
train and the home club will show them
the city and give them the keys to the
hearts and homes and hospitality of the
good people.
