HEAVENLY FIREWORKS
VISIBLE JUNE q

A dispatch in the Kansas City Post
announces that on June 27, if all con-
ditions are favorable, the inhabitants
of the earth will witness heavenly
display Of fireworks of unusual in
terest, attractiveness and beauty. This
will be a meteoric shower, which will
occur when the orbits of the earth and
those of the Enche comet meet.
On the night Of this predicted dis
play, June 27, at 10 p. m. the observer
will see the heavenly fireworks by
looking toward the northeast about
"half way up to the top of the sky
The predicted meteoric shower will
be caused simply by comet dust, which
is attracted to the earth and travelling
through at planetary speed win be-
come ignited, but before they have at
tanned a distance of 40 or 80 miles
into the atmosphere that envelopes
the earth, they will have spent their
fury and fallen to nothing.

They are out an sixty day trip,
visiting fifty-three towns in Oklahoma
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, trip
covering 1880 miles "to meet old
friends and make new ones" In other
words they are out to get better ac-
quainted with the business men, in the
Kansas City trade territory. They
want to know them better, they want
to know something of conditions in
this territory, and according to Mr..
Sharon they are not disappointed.
Every man was on the station plat
form Immediately after the train

great many of the members of the
party had advertising souvenirs for
distribution to their customers and to
the children.
fourteen separate trips were plan
ned" President Sharon stated, "before
this one was finally agreed upon" +"
a very fine compliment to the terri
tory through which the trip is being
made. "We, wanted to pick terri
tory which was strictly Kansas City
trade territory" said Mr.. Sharon,
"and when we finally got down to the
fourteenth trip we felt that this was
the territory we were looking for.
That our judgment was right was
evidenced in the quick response on the
part of our Kansas City business men
when notice was sent out for this, the
Thirteenth Annual Trip of the Kansas
City Chamber. Reservations started
coming in the very next mail, and
there was no difficulty in getting our
full quota. And now that we are on
the trip we are not disappointed"
