clared. 1.-The most threatening men
ace to our free institutions today" he
asserted ''is not our own sectional
ism, the despotisTil of a Spain or the
kaiserism of a Germany. 1t is. in the
words of Lincoln, the increasing dis
regard for law which pervades the
country. 1t is the spirit of Bolshe-

eventually produce a class war that
may be even more serious to our ma

Citing history to show that mo foe

three movements which are now be-

HORTSA STATE HOUSE
Small Fruit Men in Discussion of Gen.
craI Garden Topics.

A meeting of the Shawnee County
Horticultural society was held this aft
ernoon at o'clock in the rooms of the
state horticultural society at the state
house.
According to o. F. Whitney, secre-
tary of the state horticultural society.
thirty-six members attended the meet
ing. The inclement weather was
largely responsible for the low attend
ance, it was said
The program consisted of the fol-
lowing talks: Early lanting in Win
dow Boxes" by Mrs. Theodore Saxon;
Strawberries" by Rev. f. E. Brown
of Lawrence. Kan; Early Tomatoes
by A. C. Clark. followed by discus
sions on general garden topics, includ-
ing small. fruits.
The discussion of strawberry raising
by Rep. E. E. Brown was probably
the most important talk on the pro-
gram. Browns father was one of the
first men in kansas to engage COM
mercially in strawberry raising. Hav-
ing been so closely allied with the busi-
ness for SO long a time Browns talk
was practical.
According to Whitney, the Shawnee
organization is planning to have a
joint meeting with the Douglas county
society in July or August The meet
ing probably will be held at Lecomp-
ton.

A northwest gale will come romping
into Topeka at a speed of from thirty
to sixty miles an hour sometime this
evening, according to S. D. Flora,
state meteorologist. Central Kansas
is the eye of a storm covering the dis
trict between Pittsburgh, Pa, and
Denver, Colo. 1t is what meteorologists
call an area of low pressure. A
gigantic whirlpool of wind; on the
west side of the center of the storm
the wind will blow from the south,
while on the west of the center the
wind will blow from the northwest.
Since central Kansas is the eye of the
storm, the wind has been longer in
reaching here, but Flora says it will
be here in force this evening.
At o'clock this afternoon the, wind
was blowing at a rate of twenty-eight
miles an hour and was increasing in
violence. Snow or sleet probably will
accompany the wind when it reaches
here The wires were down at Dodge
City, so no report reached here.
The rain today amounted to .12 of
an inch. 1t will turn to sleet or snow
this evening.
Tempera lures will not drop a great
deal. A drop to only about IS de-
grees is expected for night. However.
