Repeated by Request 



Along about this time eight years ago, I was in Chicago and saw a 

 wonderful "Injun Summer" tale in the Chicago Tribune— a tale copy- 

 righted by J. T. McCulcheon, its author. 



Every year since then, the Tribune has published it in response to 

 numerous reauests. 



Just to make sure you see it, here 'tis a bit abbreviated: 



"Yep, sonny, this is sure enough Injun Summer. 

 Injun Summer is when all the homesick Injuns come back to play. 

 You know, a long time ago, long before your grandaddy was born, there 

 used to be heaps of Injuns around here— thousands—millions, I reckon. 

 Reg'lar sure 'nough Injuns- none o' yer cigar store Injuns. 



Every year, long about now, they all come back; leastways, their 



speriits do. 



See that kind o' hazy, misty look out yonder? 



Well, them's Injuns— Injun sperrits marching along and dancing in 



the sunlight. 



See off yonder, see them tepees? 



They kind o' look like corn shocks from here, but them's Injun tents, 



sure as you're a foot high. 



Smell that smoky sort o' smell in the air? 



That's the camp fires a-burnin' and pipes agoin'. 



You jest come out here tonight when the moon is hangin' over the hill 



off yonder and the harvest fields is all swimmin' in the moonlight, an' 



you can see the Injuns and the tepees jest as plain as kin be, 



'Jever notice how the leaves turn red 'bout this time o' year? 



That's when an old Injun sperrit gits tired dancin', and goes up an' 



SQuats on a leaf t' rest. 



Once in a while a leaf gives way under some fat old Injun ghost and 



comes floatin' down to the ground. 



See— here's one now. See how red it is. 



That's the war paint rubbed off'n an Injun ghost. 



Purty soon, all the Injuns'll go marching away again, back to the 

 happy huntin' ground, but next year you'll see "em troopin' back— the 

 sky jest hazy with 'em and their campfires smolderin' away just like 

 they are now."

Mr. Ammann sent his regrets at not be- 

 ing able to attend. W. J. Hembreiker 

 offered an invitation to meet at Spring- 

 field, 111. This invitation was accepted 

 and the date was fixed for November 8, 

 at the St. Nicholas hotel. 



W. J. Pilcher was selected to repre- 

 sent the district at the directors' meet- 

 ing of the National Flower Growers' 

 Association, at Chicago, November 16 to 



17. The meeting then adjourned, after 

 which a noon luncheon was served in 

 the Palm room at the hotel. Fifty were
