MRS. CROSS here
Enterprising Emporia Woman
Visits Poultry Show.
Will Add Thoroughbred Chick

A WOMAN'S ENTERPRISE
She Is Making a Success as Fine
Stock Breeder.
Took Up Husbands Work In
That Line.
A WOMAN'S ENTERPRISE

Mrs. Charles Cross of Emporia was
one of the visitors at the poultry show
this week. Mrs. Cross is a practical
farmer and, although in a small way,
a successful breeder of high class live
stock. For several years she has
raised blooded cattle and recently she
became interested in poultry. She has
been raising fine turkeys for several
seasons. and has found it profitable and
now proposes to go into the chicken
business. She will raise White Wyan-
dottes and Black Langshans.
Mrs. Cross is the widow of Charles
Cross who was cashier of the First
National Bank of Emporia and owner
of Sunnyslope, one of the largest and
most famous stock farms in the west
During Mr.. Cross life there was a
small farm within the boundaries of
his great ranch which he did not own
and which he always tried vainly to
at a prohibitiVe price, partly from
greed and partly perhaps from jealousy
of his richer neighbor's larger and 9TH
erwise perfect 1andhold.
After Mr.. Cross suicide and the dis
closure of his financial condition ana
that of the bank Sunnyslope was sold
as one of the assets of the institution
and it was then that Mrs. Cross OBJ
tanned possession of the farm which
her husband had never been able to
buy. 1t has been her home ever since
and on it she has continued with pro-
fit those experiments in stock raising
which were her husbands favorite fad
and one of the causes of his financial
ruin. Mrs. Cross raises some of the
finest cattle in Kansas and has been
able to make it pay. She shares her
late husbands enthusiasm for pedi-
greed stock and will have nothing else
on her farm. Even her dogs, two Eng
lish bulldogs, are imported and of the
finest breed.
Mrs. Cross is a handsome woman
under 40 whose appearance indicates
the force, mentality and ability which
she is said to possess. She was for
merly Mss Wilder of Lawrence and is
a graduate of the University of Kan
sas. A sister, Miss Mary Wilder, now
Mrs. Won Minckwitz of New York city,
formerly lived in Topeka and was a
teacher in the high school. There is
another sister, Miss Anna Wilder, a
teacher in the public schools Of Kan
sas City, Mo. All the Wilder girls are
handsome, talented and of scholarly in
cIinatiOns. Mrs. Cross is a reader and
owns a good library, the remnant of
that possessed by Mr.. Cross which was
one of the best in Kansas and abound
ed in rare and valuable editions which
was another of his expensive fadS. At
ter his death Mrs. Cross divided a great
many of his finest books among his
| friends but she retained enough to
make herself a substantial library.

No paper or address thus far deliv-

more enthusiasm than Mrs. Margaret

women in Kansas the equal of Mrs.
McCarter as a writer. She did not
dwell on the ideal in farm life but
rather with the commonplaces and the
hardships with which every country
dweller is familiar-the drudgery and
hard work. She paid a splendid trib-
ute to the farmers wife, who, deprived
of educational and other advantages
herself and accustomed only to a life
of constant toll, brings up her children
with lofty ideals. instilling in them a
love of good literature. and fitting
them for the highest callings of citizen
