Saturday Afternoon Club Holds I'm
portant Meeting.

The ladies Of the Saturday After
noon Club accepted an invitation to
meet at the home of Mrs. E. c. Flood
on Fifth Avenue, Saturday, February
25. About twenty-nine in all includ-
ing visitors were present. A very in
teresting program was enjoyed and a
most pleasant afternoon was spent.
The president, Miss Keller being
absent, vice-pres. Mrs. Snyder pre-
sided.
The program began by roll call, re-
sponded to by Kansas Current Events
With Mrs. Flood as leader, the reg
ular lesson was given, using the i'm
portant Literary Digest topics.
Subjects were assigned as follows
Miss Sutton-Should the Women
lose their new jobs?
Mrs. RouseAY NJ. C. A. as viewed
at the front. An article covering the
criticisms used against this organi-
cation in it's war work.
Mrs. -"Why not Home like
Hospitals" Each topic brought out
discussions.
AS the date was so near Kansas
day, short and enjoyable program
was gotten up for our beloved State.
Mrs. Snyder gave number of in
teresting interviews with people re-
lative to ''frst impressions of Kansas.
A song by Mrs. Bremen, entitled
"The Waters of the Minnitanka" by
Sir Ludlow Lieurance.
Miss Grass, who is a native Kansan
read a paper dealing with Kansas His
tory. Her subject was, Cali My Life
in Kansas" A vote was taken and it
was discovered that there were about
half dozen native Kansans mem
bers of the Club.
Mrs. Lee, whose readings have so
pleased Hays audiences, gave two Sc
lections, 'fDeeds in his Own Tongue"
by VIM. Herbert Carroth, a Kansas
author, and "Kansas where the Sun
flowers Bloom"
Miss McLain read a paper on
'What's the Matter with Kansas" in
her characteristic way, said many
clever things, and left no questions
unanswered as to the Sunfower State
That she is a writer of jingles too,
there is no question.
Mrs. Neiswanger's musical selec-
ton followed. The fact that she had
chosen the same as that used by Mrs.
Bremen was an amusing coincident,
but the beautiful selection suffered
nothing by her faultless rendition.
Mrs. Flood was voted a most clev-
er host.
Delicious refreshments consisting
of chocolate cup cakes, nut cookies
and tea, were served while a social
hour was spent reviewing Kansas
Renaissance.
Mrs Flood was assisted by Mrs
Bremen.
The next meeting will be February
9Th, with Mrs. Geo. Philip, Sr.
At this time the Club will discus
what line of work will be pursued
next year.
Mrs. Rouse, the new president ha
appointed Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Snyder anC
Miss McLain as members of the new
program committee

Seed Survey

Seed in West-central Kansas is
scarce and seems to be of poor quail
ty this year. We should plant nothing
but good home grown seed if it can
possibly be obtained. In order to get
good seed it must be tested and in
order to get home grown seed we
must know where it can be found.
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
will test your seed free of charge up
on receipt of sample.
Mr.. Willoughby, the new District
Agricultural Agent has assumed the
responsibility of getting out a seed
list which will carry the names of all
the people who have seed for sale, the
tests on that seed and price per bush
ell. If anyone has seed to sell it
should be reported at once to be in
Guided on this seed list.

Feed Conditions in Western Kansas

Feed Conditions in Western Kansas.
District Agricultural Agent Will
oughby has just returned from a
three days feed investigation in the
snow covered section of Western
Kansas. All of northwestern Kansas
is under foot or more of snow. This
fact is causing severe loss of cattle on
account of shortage of feed, and on
account of the condition of the roads
the farmers are unable to haul what
feed they do have to the stock.
There are very few .cattlemen but
have had some loss ranging>from ten
to as high as five hundred head. Sew
eral cattlemen who have silos report
no loss, and they say the silo has saw
ed many times its cost this year.
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
has Cancelled a number of cars of alf-
alta previously sold to points in Min
nesota and is shipping this into this
territory. They will be able to ship
a car day if the conditions warrants

A preacher used lot of space in the
Lincoln Sentinel in showing that men
Of great wealth are soon forgotten
The inference is that such men as
Beecher, Greeley. Talmage and others
named as superior to the great business
men of their day. It takes all kind of
people to make world. AS a matter
of fact, men are never so innocently or
so well employed as when engaged in
making money. The man that pounded
out for himself the first iron spade con-
ferred as great boon upon his race as
the man that wrote the first poem.
Beecher and Talmage would not have
accomplished much had not others pro-
vided the wealth that built the churches
in which they preached. In proving
the money to carry on our Revolution
airy War, Robert Morris rendered this
country service second only to thai
of Washington. The facts are that q
great many people have little sense
and less ambition and If it were not
for minority the race would lapse in.
to barbarism. This minority keep:
things on the move and provides the
conditions that enable the others t.
live in comfort. The principle thing
in urging this minority on is the Low,
of money either as an end or as {
means to secure other. things. Tbs
