were plespartly purpris' d by a number
of their friends at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis Johnson Thursday even
ing April 14. The party certainly was

evening kept roanv at home. The
girls' schools have closed and they have
gone to ppend the summer at their
beautiful home south of Hays. They
have both taught the schools before

Wednesday evening's Star gives an
illustrated account of the way they
smudge the orchard near Hutchinson,
which Prof. Pelham, formerly of our

The orchard covers 540 acres, with

them being bearing trees. So far they
have smuged twice this year, using
over a car load or cruae on at eacn
burning, pd are ready for the next
cold . snap. It was a shame to allow
such, a professor, with his ability, to
get away from our school, where he
would have been valuable as the Prof,
of Agriculture.
