Wichita Notes A Turbulent Mix of Events and People
A chaotic Wichita page recounts a crowded mix of civic, social, and educational items. Mentions of meetings, text book board setup, lectures by Tank Kee, a Ladies oyster supper, local gossip on city improvements, and visits by dignitaries blend with reports on crime, weather, and theatre. Strong people named include Judge Balderston, Captain Fowell, and Professor Shangba, with ongoing civic concerns over street paving, streetcars, and school book uniformity.
