A former Topekan, now in st. Louis,
writes of the night life in Wichita. he
has returned to his home after trip
to that part of this state, and he de-
scribes the wicked city thus:
There is a fine barber shop.
From there. few steps takes
GU to dandy drug store.
The sodas are delicious.
Then a stroll around the Plaza.
The grocery store windows
Are ablaze. Oh goody,
Ihere are peanuts and
Popcorn on the corner
Across from the Band.
The drummer can play
AND smoke at the same time.
And the clock in the tower
| OF the city hall is all lit
| Up
| What more do you want?
