THERE WILL BE PIE.
Vic Murdoch Plans for Kansas
Day Club Banquet.

Ralph Faxons has been selected to re-
spond to the Toast. KANSAS. at the
Kansas Day banquet next January This
was decided upon at meeting of the
officers of the club at the Copeland last
night.
The meeting was attended by Con-
gresham Victor Murdoch. who is presl-
dent of the club; Luther Nellis, secre-
tary; Clad Hamilton. treasurer; w. E.
Davis of Dodge City. one of the vice
presidents; and w. Y. Morgan, an ex-
president of the club.
I'VE have decided" said Congressman
Murdoch today. ito have a substantial
supper something like we had last year,
but we are going to reduce the price to
two dollars plate instead of three dol
lars as it was last year. Three dollars
is an aristocratic price and we propose
to have our banquet so that the com
mon people can get into it.
1.-The feed will be of the substantial
kind and we will try to get the caterers
to cut out the f1im-fiam features, but
we are going to wind up with pumpkin
pie. Every man will get one-third OF
the periphery of an entire pie
Billy Morgan contended that there is
no periphery used in pumpkin pies. at
least not in the kind he is used to, but
Mr.. Murdoch commended that the word
is all right in connection with pumpkin
pies.
Il hope you win use that word he
said. Il shall feel that life is a great
failure is Zou don't use it,
The programme is not entirely de-
cided upon. and barring the fact that
Ralph Faxon VIII respond to kansas,
it VIII not be announced until it is
known Just who viii accept. Congress-
man Murdoclx was detailed to secure
the presence of some Republican of ma
tional reputation. and he will take the
matter up when he gets to Wash
ington.
Il have in mind Henry Cabot Lodge
Senator Denew, Secretary Cortelyou, or
somebody else in the 200 er $50 class.
We also propose to extend a special in
vitation to all the ex-presidents of the
club-at the regular price of admis-
sion. of course"
1t has not been decided where the
banquet will be held There will be no
legislature in session. so it Will be DOS
sible to use Representative hall again.
although it is rather inconvenient for
serving the eatables hot. Last winter
there were $50 in attendance at the
banquet. while the winter before there

TT has been suggested" said Mr.
Murdoch, that we arrange the tables

may take it as standing for Harmony

They won't take it for Harmony

BOOK COVERS.
All of the Cloth for Them Is Made
from Cotton Fabric.

tIOu1 OOFCOn 4 aDr1c.
All of the cloth used IN the binding of
books is made FROM cotton fabric, yet one
would not say SO on Sc cling the finished
product. Some of it Looks exactly like
coarse linen. Other styles have an APP
pearance- of the finest KIND of silk while
others have various sorts of finishes that
look like lea herets canYas watered silk
and thousand different designs.
When the cloth comes from the mills e
is treated in arious ways to prepare IT
important. Different kinds of sizing Is
used in the different grades, and after this
is done it is ready for the color machines
These are really the same sort of ma
built of great steel rolls; or cans that are
heated to q high temperature by means of
live steam passing through them conSta MT
ly. The cloth passes through boxes filled
pected sto be colored WITH. This is mixed
with A starch paste and is spread evenly
all through the cleth.
The latter then continues through the
steam heated cams and is finally rolled ulf
at the back of the nachisie in a heavy roll
of the desired color The different fin
ishes are given in a second process. The
cloth is passed through very heavy ana
massive steel rolls which have been en-
graved with the design: that is wanted
Fine lines running diagQnally across the
cloth will give silk effect, and there
are many other impressions that may be
stamped on this way.
The process is an expensive one and the
resulting price of the cloth is rather high,
running from 30 to 60 cents A yard. There
are several artists in the large cities of
the country who have begun to make a
speciality of designing book covers on this
living from their work if they are clever.
