GEORGE DAY CELEBRATION Greco-American Citizens Observe An-nlversary of Patron Saint April SO is ai day held sacred by all natives of the kingdom of Greece as the anniversary of their patron eaint, St George, and wherever an (appreciable number of the sons of Helas are found they always remember the day and celebrate it in an appropriate manner.

The birthday of George Christianos, a well known Mulvane citicen, fell a day or two previous to the 80th. This fact was known to a number of his countrymen who live in Wichita and Aiey decided to hold a sort of double celebration. Mr. Christianos Was notified, and he at once began preparations for the event. He bought and butchered a fine young beef and a large lamb and prepared much other good food.

Sunday between 75 and 100 of Mr. friends drove down from Wichita and were taken to the Clyde Kessinger grove, 4 miles southeast of Mulvane, where the celebration took place, The visitors brought with them a number of musicians and during the day some fine numbers were rendered. There were accordeon, guitar, piccolo and violin solos, as well as many fine vocal numbers, and the musical program Was a real treat to those iwho heard it. A number of native dances were indulged in, and the1 merriment was great when several of the native sons of Kansast whe were guests, essayed to tread the intricate steps. A large canvas was spread on the grass, and on this was placed the food in china and glass dishes, and those who were present say that there bias seldom been seen in this section a sreater variety of good things' to eat 2 No.

Y. Mergan of Kansas, when she and other women of her state talked with Kansas congressmen in Washington lasl Friday. "But be careful, when you economize, you don't do it on only the things the women are interested in and then be wasteful on something else." It does happen. Legislators proudly call attention to some piece of economy and then go on with an extravagance somewhere else. Congress just now is all for saving.

But it is paying a huge and needless bounty to silver mine owners by buying silver for the government lat nearly double the market price. City administrations are strong for holding down expenses. And then lie-ten to the screams when ft busines-like water board comes along, finds nearly $300,000 a year paid to superfluous employees1, and so orders the discharge of s. couple of hundred political job holders!

ROY WAGNER Mulvane, Kansas For Sale by PAUL PENLEY Mulvane, Kansas Son Kimble Postal Improvement Week This week is being observed through out tjhe country as "postal improvement week," and the postal authori ties and people everywhere are striv ing to make better in every way the work of the department This is a good idea and might be kept up throughout the year. If the people who write letters and send other kinds of mail would be just a little more careful the work of the dead letter department would be greatly reduced and there would be much more speed in the delivery of mail. Carelessness in addressing mail matter, in affixing stamps, in dropping mail into the boxes and in other ways making extra work for postmasters land clerks is responsible for the slow delivery of mail in thousands of cases.

In the Mulvane office Postmaster Burgess and his assistant, Miss Whit- ted, are careful and few compHaints are ever heard about them. Mr. Burgess is one of "the most accommodating and careful men who has ever held this responsible posi tion since the opening of the office, and every day there are instances where he goes out of the way to ac commodate the patrons of the office. For a long time he Was made daily trips' to the 5:50 p. m.

train to get the letter pouch and carry it to the office in order that the people may get their mail in' advance of the time when the railway employees are sup posed to deliver the pouch to the o-' fice. In the making up of the mails for delivery to the outgoing trains he leaves the pouches open until the last possible r.ioment, and in dozens of other ways he strives to give the greatest possible accommodation. Therefore, it is no more than fair to Mr. Burgess that the people should reciprocate and strive to have their mail in such condition when Handed in that he will have the least possible trouble with it.

Robinson, were united in mar riage at the home of the bride in this city at six o'clock in the evening, Sunday, April 30, 1922. Only the immediate families' of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Thomas Price, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Neither of the contracting parties needs any introduction to the people of this vicinity, as they are both well and favorably known to, practically everybody, and the whole community joins in good wishes for their biappi-neeS in the new relationship. They immediately went to houee- kepeing in the Hatchett property on College Hill, where they are at home to their many friends.

MAKING LEADERS The contests held at the Wichita Business collage last Saturday to se lect the best spellers, penmen and rapid calculators among the rural school pupils of Sedgwick county were of unusual interest because oi the large number of contestants and the excellent records made. These contests are held annually, and axe of great benefit in developing leadership among rural school pupils. The best speller is not necessarily the brightest pupil. The same applies to the best penman and the best rapid calculator. But the contests tend to sharpen wits, to develop the alpirit of clean competition, and thereby to inspire pupils with a desire to excel.

Many a leader in business and prof es-1 sional life has obtained his first in spiration to higher endeavor in a community spelling match. The contests are wholesome and educative, and are worthy of the best efforts of those who make them possible. Wichita Eagle. Around Our Neighborhood Mrs. Hattie St.

Geo. Ripple, who resides west of town, had her tonsils removed last week in the hopes of benefiting her general health. The doctors claim a person can be poisoned throughout the whole system from affected tonsils. The little baby boy that arrived out east of town the middle of last month mentioned by two different reporters and giving different dates of the baby's birth, will probably have to settle the dispute as the noted St. Patrick did his, i.

some said St. Patrick was born on the 8th while others declared it to be the 9th and to end the quarrel they added the two numbers together, consequently his birth has been celebrated on the 17th ever since. We lost a bull-dog when we moved lf town. We were just wondering if anyone has seen it since. We have an idea which way it went.

Trees planted in the fall become solidly established during the winter. They make better growth the firs summer. They begin to bear a year sooner. For many years we hive advised planting trres in the fall when it is possible for planters to get their ground ready.
