The idea of general prayer move,
ment all over the country is original
with Mrs. w. S. Amos, who lives in
the Kemper flats. She talked it over
with Doctor Kulp, who is a personal
friend of the president of the United
States. Doctor Kulp wrote to Presi-
dent Wilson asking that part or
Good Friday be set apart for prayer
all over the country or if the allied
nations cared to take it up it might
be made a movement which would
sweep the civilized world. That in
cludes all the world except Germany.
1t is asked that all business be sus-
pended for a few minutes or perhaps
only for few seconds during that day
and that the whole world join in the
movement foc the spiritual uplift of
the nations.
A we'll known girl in one of the
down town stores is wearing new
diaunc/d which is a perfect headlight
with a setting of platinum ohe
says it means nothing but 1t is worn
on the telltale finger and to people IN
general it is very apt to mean two
things, that the young lady is en-
gagged and that the man in the case
has a great deal of money.
The open department program at
the Woman's club meeting yesterday
afternoon was in charge of the fores-
try department, of which MIS- L. H.
Mum is chairman Mrs. Massey
Holmes, who was to furnish the pro
gram, was detained at her home by
sickness and Miss Mary Ward made
very interesting talk along gardening
lines. She also offered some valuable
suggestions about canning and pre-
serving in response to questions.
Miss Ward said there was an ad-
vantage in being a substitute and told
of a conversation which she overheard
between two men, in which one asked
the other how he liked this substitute
bread. "Oh, well enough for what it
is he replied. So" says Miss Ward,
lis it with all substitutes"
Miss Ward said: II am not gar
dener, but a garden enthusiast, and
then compared the differences be-
tween a gardener and an enthusiast to
that between a baseball player and
fan. She emphasized the Importance
| of garden this year for several rea-
| sons. Transportation is difficult and
must be relieved and the eastern gar
dens can't get the fertilizer which
| they formerly used. Our soil has the
| necessary elements even where it
seems to be gumbo, hence we must
raise the gardens.
There are three essentials of a
good garden" said Miss Ward. Good
| ground, which we have; good seed,
which we may easily obtain, and good
| cultivation, which is up to u.s.
Lists of good seed varieties for To-
| peka by Harold E. Rude, who lee
tured at the high school auditorium
| in February, were given out to the
| club members.

club, of which Mrs. Brown was a
member when her home was in To-

| ten by one of it's members, Mrs. Franz
farrell, at its opening meeting at the

The morning program will be at the
Y. w. c. A. as usual
The name of the play is "Out Goes
Jennie, and, if one may judge by the
title as well as by the art of the au-
thor, we think that the much needed
laugh will be found at various inter-
walls during the performance. The en-
tire cast has not been chosen, but will
include some of the club members and
some outside talent.
