"DOPE," BY SENIORS MAKES YOU LAUGH
Name of Senior Play and Date of Tryouts Announced
Today
"Dope," is the name of the senior play which will be produced in the New Bowersock theater on May 16 and 17. "Spec" Brumage, chairman, announced today that all arrangements had been made and that "Dope" is going to be one of the classiest productions ever attempted by a senior class.
It is a three act farce comedy with local setting and contains a number of local hits. A departure from the usual plays staged by the seniors will be made, in that there will be a serious strain throughout its action.
Two distinct features of the play are that in one act, the audience unconsciously are actors in the real show, and that in another act, there will be shown on the stage, a scene from a local opera house stage.
Tryouts for the cast will be held within two weeks.

A few years ago Charles H. Browne was sticking type for Ewing Herbert on the Hawitha Daily World, but he got the fever to be an owner himself and he bought the Horton Headlight. Later he merged the Horton Commercial into the Headlight and is now giving the people of Brown county a mighty bright and snappy paper.
Miss Anna Carlson of the Linda-borg News, doesn't know what to think about the suffrage movement. She says she is on the fence and, as Tom McNeail says, that is a pretty precarious position for a woman to be in. When she was fourteen years old she commenced to work around a print shop but her active newspaper (she had been trained to the last ten years). She likes the work but her advice to aspiring women journalists is to keep out of it unless they are prepared to give their life the most strenuous occupation.
Sheridan Ploughe of Hutchinson, who retired from active newspaper work a few years ago, is a fruit expert and is here to tell the editors how to raise 'steen bushels of apples to the tree.
Colonel F. S. Savage, advertising agent for the Santa Fe railroad, is here to meet the editors. Colonel Savage was initiated into the mysteries of Kansas newspaperdom in the days when every editor had a pass. The colonel was the Santa Fe's pass man.
"Billy" Glenn of the Tribute Republican is here. Mr. Glenn has his boom for lieutenant governor in his suit case, and his friends may be able to induce him to put it on exhibition.
Colonel John S. Gilmore of the Wilson County Citizen, the second oldest editor in Kansas in point of service, is attending the convention, accompanied by Mrs. Gilmore. Colonel Gilmore started the Citizen at Fredonia April 21, 1870, and has been its editor and publisher ever since. Colonel Gilmore says that E. A. Wasser and a man named Warner started the Girard Press in December. Mr. Wasser is still with the Times, being the oldest editor in the state.
W. F. Hill, of the Westmoreland Recorder, is publicity agent for the Westmoreland and Great Northern Railway company, which operates a line from Westmoreland to Omaга, a distance of fifteen miles. The motive power is an automobile with car wheels. The rolling stock consists of a combination coach and passenger car, a flat car and a box car. One man holds all the jobs, from general manager to section hand. Mr. Hill's publicity work is writing up this unique railroad for newspapers and magazines at so much per.
Raymond Gear of the Florence Bulletin has been nominated by his friends as the youngest real editor in Kansas. Gear is 18 years old and handles himself like a veteran.

Jim Morphy, editor of the Russell
Reformer, has been manager of the Democratic state speakers' bureau so long that he can recite all the railroad time cards backwards. Morphy is one of the original Wilson men. When Wilson comes into his own, or thinks is his own, if he ever comes into it, he becomes among the Kansas newspaper follows by appointing Jim Morphy to a good position.
Herb Cavanness of the Chanute Tribune used to sneer at the newspaper men who took offices on the side, but he hasn't said much about it lately; rather than put Chanute to the inconvenience of getting along along without a postmaster, Mr. Cavanness accepted the job.
It is believed that Colonel Nelson, owner of the Kansas City Star, is the only man on the paper who does not hale from Kansas.
