KANSAS SECOND
State Has Business and Profess
sionaI WSmen's Club.
Total Membership in Kansas Is
About $500.

Kansas ranks second in the number
of clubs in the state affiliated with
the National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's clubs, &C
cording to a. statement made by Miss
Emma d. Partridge, secretary of the
state federation, here. There are
twenty-four of these clubs in Kansas,
she said. stwenty-one of which are
federated. The state membership is
approximately $500. The Topeka
club, of which Miss Partridge is also
secretary, is the largest in Kansas
with a membership of 800. Fern
president Michigan ranks first, Miss
Partridge said, with a total of twenty
six federated clubs.
36S Clubs in United States.
There are now 36S clubs in the
United States with an aGg-egate mem
bership of 29,S9S, Miss Partridge said.
In keeping with resolutions adopted
at the national convention of the BUSH
ness and professional women's clubs
at Chattanooga July 1915, Miss Part
ridge said today, the federation in
Kansas is carrying on a campaign of
education for girls, preparatory to
their entering upon business careers.
The object of this education work is
to see that young women at least
finish high school courses before &C
tually engaging in business. The 'big
sister idea" has been adopted by the
national organization and thru this
every business or professional woman
in the state is urged to look after the
interests OF some one girl in order
that the girl may be enabled to go
thru high school before going into
business. Scholarships and loan funds
are advocated IS one means of as
sisting the girls. Miss Partridge said.
Another object of the national fed
Grafton is to assist Older women al
ready In business in obtaining better
educations and cooperating with uni
ucation in offering courses to fit wom-
en- intending to go into business.
The whole idea In a word the
standard OF education among business
women"
A policy of cooperation with mems
clubs has been adopted by the fed
GRAFTON, she said, with a view to gain
ing the mems ideas and coming up to
their business and professional stand
ards.
Legislation being urged and sup
ported by the state organization. as
well as the national federation, as outN
lined at the national convention, Miss
Partridge said, includes the sheppard
Towner maternity acS the Kenyon
ling-Lehlbach bill for Reconsideration
of civil service employees and legisla-
ton aiming at the abolishing of child
labor.
THE state and national organiza-
tons are making it their policy to Sc
lect a few legislative measures con-
sidered important behind which to
center their whole fight" Miss Part
ridge said.

"riIed.'
When the city officials were seated
in the coach, after having been met
accorded the cheers of the total pop
u1ace assembled, the signal for the
hold up by the Indians was given.
Nobody had told the mules about
this feature of the program, and in
spite of the efforts of their veteran
driver, they bolted.
Major North had no better luck
controlling his young Indians than
Sam Matthews had in holding In his
mules. The Indians yelled, whooped,
and fired blank cartridges. The mules
did nothing but run, but they did that
with enthusiasm and yerve.
The mayors head was seen to be
protruding from the window of the
stage coach As it made its mad circuit
of the track, and while his words were
lost in the bedlam of shrieks from
the braves and the roar of their shots,
he was not pleased with the ride. and
that he would have been quite willing
to have the show come to an end.
Cody and his cowboys, hidden be-
hind a cturnp of trees opposite the
brush which had concealed the
Indians. finally surrounded the coach,
succeeded in cutting out and heading
off the bucks, one at a time, and
brought the vehicle to stop.

When he explained that he had want
ed to make the scene as realistic as
possible, Pap" Ciothier offered to
hand. him the most realistic thrashing
he had ever seen. If he'd just get down
from his horse.
After the show, Cody yielded to the
suggestion OF Major North that some
o1d-time, level headed Indians be Sc
cured to descend upon the stage coach,
and that a well broken set of horses
be given the job of pulling it

The first performance of the Buff
faIo Bill Wild West show was an utter
and ludicrous failure, according to L.
o. Leonard, historian for the Union
Pacific railroad, who has written an
article on that interesting event, in
the current issue of the Union Paci-
fici Magazine.
Too much realism spoiled the show,
according to Leonard. Buffalo Bill
Cody, having conceived the idea OF a
Wild West show of which the motif
was never changed, wanted things to
&c just right After the first rehear-
SAL Cody had to change his scheme
somewhat, though he never gave up
the original plot" of his frontier
drama.
Cody picked, according to Leonard,
a hard audience for his first attempt.
The rehearsal of the show was staged
at ColvilIe-now Columbus, Nebr., in
a day when Nebraska was frontier
country, and the Union Pacific thru
old.
Cody hired Major Frank North.
commander of the sPawnee Scout
company which served thru the latter
days of the Civil war, to command the
Indians who were to ride out and at
tack the stage coach. He secured
Sam Matthews, a veteran driver or
stage coaches to drive the coach. To
make it more realistic" he rustled
up the widest team of four mules that
he could get hold of to draw the coach,
and engaged a detachment of young
buck" Indians. excitabIe and half

Then Cody invited the town of COL

show. The show was to be given on
what later became the fair grounds for
the city. and the mayor and the city

FAIR SEEKS AN APPROPRIATION
Starts Friendly Suit to Make Ford
County Pay 1t 5000.

Dodge City, Kan, Aug. 1s.-The
Great Southwest Fair association has
filed a friendly suit in district court
against the Ford county commission
ers to determine whether the latter
should appropriate $500 for the an
nual October fair here. The plain
tiffs' petition seeks judgment for $500
with interest and other satisfaction
against the commissioners. The COM
missioners contend the Great South
west Fair is not a county institution
because exhibitors from outside of
Ford county are paid premiums and
for this reason they have postponed
making the appropriation.
