news was telegraphed to our city and
an Informal and nOE-parti AN celebra-
tlon was gotten up to greet the return
ing delegates and their vic.im, ac-
cording to the arrangements made be-
fore the boss left for Garden CITY.
The train was an hour and a half late.
arriving about 10 O'Clock. Quite a
party had assembled at the opera
house early in the evening and our
newly y-organized string band enter
talned them until the arrival of the
conquering victor sand delegates. AS
soon as the new arrivals were seated,
Mr.. McCanse was asked to take charge
OF the meeting. He made q few re-
marks in his usually happy vein, then
introduced number of the visiting
statesmen, who made brief addresses.
Everything passed off pleasantly. with
out ripple to mar the serenity of
things: even the band, sitting forgo OF
ten behind. the wings of the stage, did
not make a particle of disturbance.
OF course some people wondered what
they were there for, but they never let
on by making a sound on a string
After the short talks an informal re-
ception was held and then the visitors
and a few others adjourned. to the
Alamo, where 4 lunch. ETC.. had been
prepared. A couple of hours was
pleasantly spent and the evenings
program came to an end. The whole
idea was to show to the people of the
state chat the county appreciated and
was pleased to acknowledge honors to
one of our citizens.

Republican Convention.

The republican county convent on
came Off last Saturday and went
through without break in the slate.
The boss had apparently decided to
heed our Oftenrepeated admonitions
and was not SO much in evidence as
usual. In fact. he only made one mo-
tiOn--nomi nating the chairman and
then subsidized. OF course. with a we'll
primed chairman, the thing was bound
to run according to program, unless
the insurgents were unusually active
Immediately following the prelmn-
AIRY organization. it was apparent
from the cloud on the brow OF the boss
that all was not as harmonious as
usual. and it soon developed that a
good. healthy kick had been started
on the slate. l'-..- '--
During The noon honr, which was
somewhat extended. the boss sum
moned around him those whose desire
to hold Office cOEpels them to dance
when he whistles and laid the situa-
ton before them. Then they began tu
rustic
1t was apparent from the start that
no one cared as to the fate of the
boss. but it was realized that IL row at
that time might imperil the chances OF
success this fall. and so. for the sake
OF harmony. the leaders of the insur-
recti on agreed to quit. but with the
distinct understanding that the pres
ent boss should keep his hands of in
tie future and let the conventions do
the business they are called together
to tranSaCS.

Club Notes.

Wednesday afternoon the mothers
meeting was unusually interesting.
! The second of Miss Harrisons lee
lures on motherhood was read and
discvssed: also biography of Froe-
bel recently deceased.
Mrs. Priddy. presto ent of the Sew
enth District Federta On of Clubs. re-
quested the Kinsley w Woman's Club to
write her what had been the most prac-
tical and helpful work of the year
This was hard to decide Someone
spoke of the work in art and the up
lift and pleasure it had given, and all
decided that had heen the best. An
other spoke of the work in sociology,
in current events and equality, and
all promptly decided to transfer votes
to that Then one member spoke of
the character studies in fiction and
the practical study in morality it had
given, and votes were promptly trans
ferred again. At last, however, it
was decided that more Inspiration and
help had been obtained from the
m others meetings, and that the idea
of this part of the work had been the
central one.
Next week is the miscellaneous meet
ing.
Last Friday afternoon Miss Bidwell
gave an art talk to the schools, her
topic being "Illustration." Miss Bid
we'll managed to get near the pnpils
at once, and succeeded in interesting
them to such an extent that her excel
lent talk received their closest atten-
ton. This is q phase OF art that stu
dents come in contact with every day,
and for that reason will be of much
practical benefit to them. They were
shown the individuality of the differ
ent types of illustrating, and will
soon learn to take a comprehensive
interest and look for the name of the
artist in the corner of every picture.
Mrs. Bidwell's work showed that she
had given the matter much thought.
and was quite as thoroughly enjoyed
by patrons and teachers as by the
pupils of the schools.

Sub-irri2dtiOn.

One year ago purchased from Alex
Richter, of Hollyrood, Kans., aquan-
tity of subirrigating pipe which | laid
according to directi ons- in my lawr,

suits more than justified my expecta-
tions. On prairie grass sod l SOW
eo blue grass and clover, which by the
aid of sub-irrigatiOn soon run the
prairie grass out and made one of the
prettiest lawns 1 ever saw. Trees and
shrubbery planted where they receiv-
ed the benefits OF the water made three
times the growth they did where no
water could reach them. Every shrub
and evergreen | planted near the pipes
grew, and flowers of all kinds beat
anything [ ever saw especially mon
thly roses, carnations and ddhlias,
which | was laue he'd at for planting.
When the hot winds came and destroy
ed vegetation my grounds were green
and fresh--a veritable oasis in the
desert. Strawberries and garden
truck grew splendidly and yielded in
abundance. l consider it one of the
creates inventions of the age. Does
not take third of the swater it does
to irriyate on the surface: does not
bake or pack the ground or kill the
foliage. and in labor alone it will save
it's cost the first year, us all You have
to do is to set the wind mill going,
and the pipes carry it. just where it is
needed and drip it out. This pipe. in
