upon, composed as it was Of the flow
err of Augusta life. as well as that of
her sister cities both up and down the
river, and it is seldom that more
beautiful women and finer looking men
nave assembled at similar occasion.
The men for the greater part wore the
conventional evening dress. while the
costumes of the women were as beau
tifui as they were varied. 1t might be
said that the beauty OF the occasion
in that line exceeded that of the
crowning event of the legislative win
tiers, the Governors reception.
Interspersed among the 81 numbers
which composed the dance program
for the evening were number OF
fancy dances, which furnished an ex-
hibition of some of the finest dancing
ever seen In Augusta and added great
" to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Notable among those were several
dances by Mrs. Rosanna B. Odiorne Of
Portland and her partner, William B.
Williamson of Augusta. Mrs. Odiorne,
who is the personiication OF grace and
as light on her feet as bit of thistle
down, never danced better, while Mr..
Williamson, one of Augustus best
dancers. proved himself in every way
worthy as her partner.
Miss Flvira Rhind of Boston, in her Sc
ries of folk dances was equally pleasing.
She came a stranger to Augusta. but her
exhibition won for her most oil TRENDS
who will accord her cordial greeting
should she come again.
A hit of the evening in the line of fancy
dancing was the burlesaue given by Bur-
leigh Martin and William Williamson,
the latter appearing as stunning blond.
Their theme was the modern dance the
Tango, and they did it to perfection, IN
Producing among other features the ex-
treme steps "as done in Portland This
dance brought a perfect storm OF ap-
plause that brought genuine bushes to
the cheeks of both participants.
Judge and Mrs. Benedict r. Maher of
Augusta gave very pretty exhibition of
the ene-step.
That the Jardin de Danse was a success
need scarcely be said and great amount
of credit is due those who planned the
affair and brought it to successful Gil
max. Among them are Mrs. Guy P. Can
nett. president of the Hospital Aid, who
was the director general of the affair
Mrs. Albert II. Sturtevant, vice presi-
dent: Mrs. Stanley s. Patten, secretary,
and Mrs. Charles T. Penney, treasurer
Others are Mrs George B. Keene, chair
man of the refreshment committee, and
her assistants, Mrs. Frank E. Smith
Mrs. Paul D. Sargent, Mrs. Q. c. S. Da-
vies. Mrs. w H. Harris, Mrs Guy o.
yickery and Mrs Edwin C. Hendee; Mrs
S. c. C. Ward, who acted as cashier;
Mrs. c. T. Penney, who looked after the
arrangement of the tables, and MisS Mad
cline S. Lord. who had charge of the
walters Guy p. Ganne.. acted as floor
director in a very efficient manner.
Thanks are due to City Marshal Col
gan for detail of officers whom he
furnished to give such assistance as
might be required, and also to Chief
Engineer Buckley, who had men sta
toned in the hall with. supply OF
chemical fire extinguishers at hand

Kansas Loses COburn

Leavenworth, Kas., Jan. Is
F. D. Coburn, secretary of the
Kansas State Board of Agricul-
ture, will resign tomorrow. The
announcement is made in an af-
ternoon paper here, which has
information from reliable source
in Topeka.
The plan is for Mr.. Coburn to
be reelected at the regular meet
ing of the state society of agri-
culture tomorrow and to resign
at once.
Mr.. Coburn is 60 years old and
has been secretary of the state
board of agriculture twenty years.
1t is his intention, according to
the report, to devote his time in
the future to writing books and
for farm papers. He will con-
tinue to live in Kansas. He is
president of the State Temper.
ance Association and a director
in two Topeka banks.
The secretaryship of the state
board of agriculture pays 3d.
a year.
A Friday dispatch from To-
peka is to the effect that Secre-
tary Coburn was reelected, but
Immediately rendered his resig-
nation, to take effect June 80.
The board then elected Jacob
Mohler to fill the position after
Mr.. Coburn vacates. Mr.. Mohler
has been Mr.. Coburn's chief clerk
for about twenty years, and this
is very gratifying, indeed, for he
will still be able to get help and
inspiration from COburn.

Implement Men !.
For l.Cent Rate.
Convention Opposes Surrenderine
Letter Boon for Parcel Post.
Advertising is Urged.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. IS
Resolutions demanding l cent
postage for letters instead of the
extension of the parcel post; urg-
ing merchants to advertise in 10
cal newspapers, and calling for
an amendment to the federal con-
stitution permitting the president
to veto parts of a congressional
measure without killing the en-.
tire bill, were adopted by the
Western Implement and Vehicle
Dealers Association yesterday at
its meeting in the Lyric theater.
The 1.cent postage resolution is
aimed at the parcel post, which
most of the dealers oppose.
It is their contention that the
parcel post is being extended at
the cost of letter writers and that
each department of the postal
service should be made to,pay its
own way, but no more.
The association yesterday voted
to change its name, which will
hereafter be the Western Retail
Implement, Vehicle and Hard
ware Association. Three-fourths
of the members deal in hardware,
but have never had recognition
in the name of the association.
These officers for the ensuing
year we're elected:
President, w. M. Vickery,
Blackwell, Ok; vice president, G.
w. Collins, Belleville. Kas; di'
rectors, M. M. Smith, Clay Gen.
ter, Kas; Ed. Hood, Pittsburg'
Kas. W. E. Haynes, Emporia,
Kas.
Following the custom of board:
of directors from the beginning,
the new board as its first act
elected J. H. Hodge of Abilene,
Kas., secretary and treasurer Of
the association. No other mar
has ever held that Office.
The convention adjourned yes
terday. Most of the delegate:
will remain in Kansas City fol
several days. The exhibits al
Convention hall and the hotel:
will continue until tomorrow
afternoon.

To professional politicians It
seems strange that President
Wilson is so popular with all
classes. But the reason for his
popularity is plainly apparent.
He puts the welfare of ALL the
people above the welfare of the

words, the president is making
good his campaign promises.
