latter although the pioneer woman, the
woman 10 years young or more is es-
pecially honored and If she has story
of pioneer days to offer is given place
on the programme In the second place

political its objects being the celebra-
ton of the birthday of Kansas along
historical lines and the preservation of
the patriotic and historical traditions
of the state. Mrs. ]. d. Mcfarland, of
Topeka, is president of the club elect
