the editors from this section OF
the state gathered together for the
first regular meeting of the organ
ization. In the morning the gen.
eral business session was held. In
the afternoon 10 automobiles lined
up in front of the hall where the
meetings were held, and took the
editors, and the Meade Ladies'
Band for 35 mile drive over the
good roads around Bucklin. The
crowd drove west and north of
Buckhn by way of Ford. and then
south, and back to the city. The
day wasn't the most pleasant of
the season but that didn't stop the
Bucklinites. They lined up the
cars, and took the fellows around
lust the same. Late in the after
noon the paper by Mr.. d. M.
Steiner on Pointers from the Cost
Convention at Wichita was very
interesting. S. p. Gebhart of the
Pratt Union made a short talk on
Our Competitor. This was
followed by a discussion which
occupied the remainder of the
short session. The following off
GERS were elected. Pres. Ray
Millman, First Vice Pres. l. j.
Stanton of the Fowler Gazette,
Second Vice Pres, E. M. Anderson
of the Hugoton Hermes, Third
Vice Pres. y. B. Miller of the
Meade News, Treasurer, Ray B.
Pri"es of the Ford Promoter and
9. d. Eddy Secretary. Meade
was candidate for the next meet
ing which will be held in Noyem-
ber, but Liberal was finally chosen
the Meade representatives with
drawing.
The editors went to Bucklin as
guests of the Commercial Club,
and could not have been more
royalty entertained. They were
presented early in the day with
badges bearing the inscription
Guest of the Commercial Club,
Bucklin Kansas. The Bucklin
crowd is all right, and their pull
ing together as they did last Mon
day connot fail to make that one
of the best towns in the west.
The Commercial Club there is
composed of the best men of the
town, and they are the sort of fell
lows who do things. There is a |
string of tungsten lamps down
main street on both sides of the
street, which make the town very
pretty and attractive at night.
Thatis only one of the things the
Commercial Club has done. They
further secured the Meade Ladies
band for the occasion, which made
it on the whole one of the most
pleasant gatherings ever held in
this part of the state. In the even
ing the Meade Ladies Band gave
concert at the opera house which by
courtesy of the Commercial Club
was free to the public. The violin
and cornet solos of Prof. Won
PrOsky we're indeed excellent.
The ladies band is a new organi-
zation and their program was very
we'll rendered.
The new opera house is one of the
most attractive and best arranged
theatres in this section of the state.
The management of the house do
mated it to the editors. An ad-
dress of welcome by G. NJ. Mills,
President of the Commercial Club
of Bucklin was responded to by
Pres. Ray Millman of this city.
Albert Steinal, the we'll known
editor of the Southwest Trail, the
official Rock Island publication
gave short talk in the evening
on the special dry farming train
which will be in this territory the
10Th or Doth of April. h
The following editors were in /
