the annual convention of the
State Volunteer Firemen's Association
held at Wichita Ft Ila last year. Vic-
toria was selected as the next meeting
place. The association could not have
chosen a city better able to take care
of them, and already elaborate prepar-
ations are being made at an expense
of thousands of dollars, to entertain
the thousands of visitors who will be
our guests during the three days of
the convention.
Aa all are aware. Victoria Is known
all over the country aa the Citv of
Hosea and Millionaires, containing
more wealth than any other city of
its size in the United States. No ex-
pense Is being spared In preparing
a parade and other features that will
be in Teeplm- with the wenHh of the
citizens. A committee Is busy secur-
ing accommodations for any number
of visitors who may attend the con-
'titlon. and no nnc need have env
doubts aa to the reception when they
arrive.
The local officers are receiving nu-
merous Inquiries from people nil over
• b» Slate, nnd Judging from the gen-
| tone of them, more Interest Is
being manifested In A’lctorla's cele-
bration than has been In any other
similar attraction ever staged In the
Gulf Coast Country.
The convention will be In session
for three days, beginning Monday, Max
12. nnd on the last day It is planned to
take the visitors to some seaport on
the const for an evening’s outing.
I'pon arrival here all visitors are re-
quested to report to the Information
bureau at fhe railway station.

A very handsome post-Lenten affair
was that Wednesday evening when
the Young Men's Club of Hay City, in
recognition of the numerous courte-
sies of the Alpha Theta Sigmas and
the aggregation of out-of-town men
familiarly known as "The South Tex-
as Raggers" entertaied with an elab-
orately appointed dance at Hamilton
Hall, about fifty couple participating.
As a result of the artistic sllght-of-
hand of the decoration committee,
Hamilton Hall was transformed into
a bower of floral beauty and charm,—
the banking of palms and other fo-
liage plants in the center of the ball
room, with Its topping of lovely Eas-
ter lilies, and the placing of palms
and ferns at other advantageous points
creating an air of spacious loveliness
that were most effective: while the
shaded lights threw a soft radiance
over all that but added to the charm-
•ng ensemble. Mr. and Mra. H. B.
Eidman led in the graces of a beauti-
ful grand march, which under the
Spell of the lovely music from the tal-
ented fingers of "The Troubadours.”

evening. Sixteen dances and four ex-
tras marked the hours of the hosts,
the eighth dance evidencing an inter-
mission,—signalling the entrance to
the supper room, where red carnations
nnd foliage plants lent color nnd
beauty to the background.—the deli-

inspires them with her own idculs and
enthusiasm. She is making a study
of musical kindergarten work and
wishing to apply her knowledge and
test her ideas, borrowed some very
young children and added them to her
regular class In primary piano work.
The children have met every Saturday
afternoon at the homes of the chil-
dren whose mothers have taken pleas-
ure in furnishing refreshments at the
close of the program. The xeal and
earnestness with which they have
been working all winter and the de-
light they take In their work, compel
us grown folks to sit up and take no-
time and to look well to our laurels.
They show a degree of talent that will
mean much to the future musical life
of Bay City. The program on Mon-

A dozen merchants in Bay City can
add thousands of dollars to the trade
of thia town annually if they will
go in together and do some Judicious
advertising. They can popularize
the town and their respective busi-
ness at a very small expense and fea-
ture Bay City as a trading point for
this section until it will become sec-
ond nature with everyone to come
here to trade or to think of us every
time they need to trade.
The way to got business Is to go
after it. Business never “Just comes"
to anyone. The Idea that a merchant
will get the business because he Is "an
old established concern" or “every-
body knows us” Is a false one. You
must tell the people about yourself
and business and then to cinch that
make your business nnd your town
popular by offering legitimate
worth-the-while Inducements.
Now, say, a dozen of you get to-
gether. decide on this and lot us pull
