Deep girdles embroidered in the

men and u of them are in Wichita
Sumner county has 20 members here, but
this is not 50 per cent OF their total mem
bership. The prize banner was presented
to the Geary county delegation by Mr.
James Winters at the mass meeting in
Garfield hall last night.
Garfield hall was crowded with thresh-
ermen last night when Mr.. James Winters
called the meeting TO order. This hall
has not seen a larger crowd within its
walls for years. Every chair was full in
both main floor and gallery. and hundreds
had to stand during the meeting. Every
one was enthusiastic.
Mr.. Albert Van Zandt made the address
of welcome instead of Mayor Mclean,
who was out of the city. On behalf of
the threshermen Mr. James Winters, of
Salina, state organizer, responded.
Mr. c. E. Meisse, supreme president of
the T n. P. A, was taken suddenly i'll
yesterday afternoon, and was unable TO
speak last night, and J. B. Parker filed
his place acceptably- Mr.. Parker told of
the work of the T. n. P. A in all states
where a good organization was maintain
Sd what the association had done for the
threshermen throughout the country and
what it hoped TO do.
He was followed by John Tracy, OF this
city, on behalf of the Wichita thresher-
men, and then came speeches by c. T.
Bowers, of the Thresher World, Chicago,
and B. B. Clark of the American Thresh-
erman, of Madison, Wis.
Following the speeches as announced in
the program, several of the representa-
tives Of the threshing machine manufac-
turers made five-minute talks, in which
they spoke of the T. n. p. A and the
work of threshermen, and incidentally
threw in a few pointers about the ma
chine they were selling. The meeting was
a success in every way. OF course many
were disappointed in not being able to
hear Mr.. Meisse, and it is possible that
he may speak tonight at the banquet.
The visitors before the meeting adjourn
ed passed rousing resolutions thanking
the Wichita association for the reception
and entertainment given them, and Mr..
John Tracy, president, and Mr.. l. 5.
Woodward, secretary, for their work in
making the meeting the success that it is.
Today will come the parade and tonight
the show at the Auditorium. All thresh-
ermen who have registered have been
furnished with ticket for the show.
Immediately after the performance Of the
Bohemians the threshermen will adjourn
to Garfield hall, where they will be ten

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

THE best of all book-piays'' is the crit
icism of the ST Louis Globe Democrat
upon Winston ChurchilTs dramatization
of his novel, THE Crisis. in which James
X Hackett, one of Americas foremost
actor managers, will appear at the Craw-
ford Friday, May 10. st. Louis is the
locale of Mr.. Churchilrs story of the civil
war, and not only every incident, but
every character and mode of speech was
therefore laid open to sever criticism
from the audiences who were so familiar
with the real localities personalities and
sentiments of their city forty years ago.
That the production was entirely salts
factory to them was proven, not only by
the published endorsement of the entire
press of the city, but even more so by
the large attendance which nightly filled
the great Olympic theater during the
week, and brought the financial receipts
TO the astonishing figure of nearly $4,000
in that comparatively short time. An
other proof of the success OF the play
and company there is that return visit
was practically insisted upon for the
present season and will be the only one
played this year anywhere, although the
same request occurred with all the dates
played in the very limited spring tour,
which included only Pittsburg, st. Louis.
New Orleans, Louisville, Nashville, At
lanta and Indianapolis; New York. Boston
and Philadelphia have joined in this gen
eral request for a second engagement.
which may in this case be considered.
Mr.. Hackett is here for one night only
and will not be able TO arrange for any
other visit here in this play.
Cora McCollum Smith. the graceful and
accomplished eIocutionist, will be here
Friday evening and give performance
in Garfield hall for the benefit OF the
Ladies Athletic club. All friends OF phys
ical culture for women are assured a treat
and are invited to help good cause
along.

Setting Out a Hedge.

A good many of our readers, both in
town and country, may want to set out
some sort Of hedge next spring.
There are two of three things of impor-
lance connected with this undertaking
one, the proper selection of tree or
shrub to be used for this purpose; an
other, to see that only young and
healthy trees are used and, third, to
give such hedge the proper care when
planted. We know of nothing that
makes better hedge, taking beauty
and hardness into consideration, than
the common red cedar. The trees when
planted should not be more than eight
or ten inches high, should be thick and
bushy and we'll rooted and be set not
more than foot apart. After the first
year they should be carefully trimmed
so as to thicken them up close to the
ground and thus form a solid base for
the future hedge. This cannot be done
If the trees of any size are used. After
the trees are we'll rooted keep them
mulched and the future success of the
hedge will depend wholly upon the care
used in trimming it.
