The sixth annual commencement eX-
ercises of the Western Normal School
located at this city were held in the
new auditorium last Monday morning
Nearly every seat in the large auditor
ium was taken and the audience were
well repaid for their attendance. j..
W. Gleed of Topeka who was to make
the principal address of the day was
unexpectedly called to New York City
on business, but he sent a very able
substitute in Prof. J. E. Boodine Of
the chair of philosophy in Kansas Uni
versity. The professor took for his
subject very appropriate topic, 'The
Value of an Education" Many pleas
ing little anecdotes served to enllven
one of the best addresses ever heard at
any commencement exercises in this
city. The Valedictory by H. E. Pearce,
prepared and in well framed words the
speaker thanked the regents, the fac
ulty and the citizens. The musical
mum bers by Mrs. Shively, Mrs. West,
Miss Carrick and Miss Pestana were
especially fine and received hearty ap-
plause at the conclusion of each num-
Der. The new grand piano, which was
used for the first time at the exercises

full and sweet-toned instrument. L. B.

gents, presented the diplomas to the

''Presidi ng Elder" No More.

Baltimore, Md, June l The time
honored title presiding elder" was
abolished by the adoption of a minority
report from the revision committee of
the Methodist general conference to-
day, recommending that the name be
changed to district superintendent, -
by vote of 322 ayes to 21O noes. This
radical change of terms is the out
growth of a desire to denote the Office
more correctly. 1t has been said for
long while that the presiding elder to-
day is, in reality, a superintendent,
that this term should be given him since
his office is no longer merely sacrament
al, but administrative.

Normal Banquet.

The fifth annual banquet of the West
tern Kansas State Normal was held in
the Brunswick Annex Monday evening.
Contrary to the custom of former
years, the banquet was not public, the
members of the board of regents pre-
sent and the graduating class being the
guests of the facnlty of the school. No
others were in attendance
After a most excellent repast, served
under the direction of Mrs. Frank
Fields, the following toasts were re-
sponded to:
+'No Day Without it's Line w. S.
Picken. Mr.. Picken, who has been
with our school from its beginning,
briefly reviewed its history and spoke
of some of the early "trials and cares"
of teachers and students. He believes
that the Western State Normal will
ultimately become the ''big" school of
western Kansas, and if his successors
put forth one-half the effort he has, if
they carry on the work he has planned,
there is little doubt but that his pre-
diction will come true
1.-The Leader" was responded to by
Miss Mabel Rowlison. Miss Rowlison
is the first editor-in-chief of the first
school paper of the Western Normal,
and therefore doubly qualified to speak
on this subject.
1.-THE Booster" was responded TO by
Prof. Boodine, head of philosophy at
the state university. Mr.. Boodine be-
lieves we should have graduate school
in the state. He is also of the opinion
that teachers are paid too little 1t is
needless to say his views in this respect
are shared by all others in his profess
sion. He paid fine tribute to the Nor
NAL and is firm believer in it's sue
cess.
GAS the Regents See U.s. was re-
sponded to by Judge Kellogg. Mr.
Kellogg doesn't sugar-coat things and
when he says a thing we know he
means it. He said he always felt more
at home in Hays than in any other town
where there is state institution. Mr..
Kellogg was the first president of the
Emporia Normal
"Quien Sabe" the subject of the last
toast by Miss Ida Solomon, gave oppor-
tunity for the last word which is
woman's eternal right. Miss Solomon
took advantage of it and several of the
seniors were receivers general for
pointed remarks.
j. S. Bird presided as POSTMASTER
His mode of introducing the toasters
was as much appreciated as the toasts
themselves. Mr. Bird should be elect
ed POSTMASTER for life
The annual banquet is looked forward
to as the crowning event of each years
work. and the banquet of 'O8 will be
sure to last long in the memories of
those who were so fortunate as to be
in attendance.

At the State Normal last Friday eve
ming the play of Hamlet was given by
by the class of oratory and was well
rendered, pleasing the large audience
assembled, every seat, over 400, in the
Gymnasium being occupied, and many
were compelled to stand The new
scenery was quite city-like and appro-
pirate, while the receipts were pleas
ing to the management and they feel
gratified at so liberal an attendance
If possible, some play will be given by
the students in the new auditorium dur
ing the summer term so our citizens can
see it when finished.

WHY SUFFER !?
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath
some Catarrh Germs.

Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath will
be foul, you will hawk and spit, and
you will do other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself. The
germs of catarrh have got you in their
power; they are continually and per-
sistentiy digging into and irritating
the mucous membrane of your nose and
throat. They are now making your
nose and throat They are now maxi
ing your life miserable; in time they
will sap your entire system of it's en-
ergy, its strength, its vigor and vitality.
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry
air treatment.
Summers Pharmacy will guarantee
Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money
back. Don't delay this pleasant anti
septic treatment. Breathe in Hyomei
and kill the germs.
Summers Pharmacy will sell you a
complete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, for only s1.00. 1t is also guar
anteed to cure bronchitis. asthma,
coughs. colds. hay fever and Group.

The wedding dress was of white satin

Although big hats will continue in
favor during the coming season, small
eF hats and toques will also be worn
and there will be ample opportunity for
every woman to find a handsome head
cover suiting her figure and style. The
small hats are. with few exceptions.
high as to crown. In most instances
the crowns are large, being either
round, square or many-sided. The
brim of the small hats take various
shapes and turns. Some of them make
a very wide turn on one side and run
rapidly to almost nothing on the front
and opposite side, with a brim at the
back, which follows its own will. Most
of the piquancy that rests in the small
hats is caused by these rather freakly
lines in the brims BY these freaky
notifications of the brim they can be
made becoming for practically every
style of head.
The turbans shown this fall are
mostly large, but unusually handsome.
Some of them have large crowns and
scarcely noticeable brims. These hats
are made with enormous head sizes
and come well down on the hair. To
some this is becoming, while others
find it trying. Never was there a
greater variety in the materials used
for covering the hats than just now
and it may be said that scarcely any
material can be considered entirely I'M
suitable for the purpose. The favorite
materials will be heavy silks, corded
or repped.
