FORTY YEARS AGO IN KANSAS CITY
From the files of February 16 and 17, 1907.

The annual dinner of the Association of Young Republicans of Missouri at the Midland hotel turned into a big demonstration for Herbert S. Hadley for the nomination for governor. He now is attorney general. There were 250 men at the dinner from all parts of the state. E. E. E, McJimsey of Springfield was elected president of the association although not present. He telegraphed acceptance.

Note accompanying article in KC Times.

Sat up and took notice when I saw this in K. C. Times. Somebody at Star must have remembered you.

Ruby was over last Sun. for dinner and we took a ride afterward. She seemed to enjoy it. Looks awfully thin. Do hope she gets a day job. I told her thought she should. She doesn't eat right or get out enough when she works at night, then it affects her mentally.

I told her that she hadn't been like herself since she had that night job. Worse than working in day time - even though she didn't think so.

The Wilson family in for dinner last night. Also Clark. Quite a job but we wnjoy it. All about over the chicken pox.

The "Elko" border

A number of the prints have this very distinctive border. I presume it is the mark of the film processor. I may help group prints made at a similar time.
