Why fcr Should Vote For The
School Bonds.

The following are reasons. briefly stat
ed, why evrey one should vote for the
school bonds.
1. For the sake OF making the pupils
and teachers safe.
How many Of those who sre opposing
the bonds would DC willing 10 risk their
own Or their own children's lives in the
old building during wind storm.
, To quiet the fears of the people.
So much has been said abou, the con-
dition of the OIL building during the last
two or three years that the pupils be-
come terrified and nervous during stormy
weather and produce a commOtion in
school. In many cases they absent them
selves entirely. Frequently parents go 10
the building on windy days and take
their children out, as they think, to a
place of security.
3. That the children may have pleas
ant surroundings.
They spend at least half OF their wake
full hours in the school room. hence the
necessity OF comfortable. pleasant and
healthful surroundings. Nothing will
be more conducive to aesthetic culture.
t. Money expended for educational
purposes is usually well spent.
1t is, OF course. impossible to estimate
the money value of good schools, but
good schools are impossible when the
environments are unfavorable.
). itwould cost not less than s., 600
to repair the old building. 1t would then
be an old building and would not last
many years.
6. \ good building would be an or
nament TO the city.
This was the reason why many who
are now opposing the school bonds, voted
for the city hall bonds and it was the
only reason that could be advanced.
How good school building will do equal
ly as much for us by way of ornament
besides the other advantages above stat

have been a measure of selfpro-

soon have been cured and ceased to dis

obstinate cases of indigestion, with its
attendant heartburn. flatulence, constant
uneasiness Of the stomach and of the
nerves, are completely overcome BY this
sovereign remedy. Chills and fever and

the Kansas State Fair Lets Down
It's Bars to the universe.
The eyes Of the whole nation are now
turning toward Kansas, owing to the
superiority of her prospects for grand
crops, and it is to the interest of every
Kansan to put forth his best efforts to

Association offers for county display s
of farm product four premiums, $500,
$3.50, 800 and $50, respectively. and
every county in the State should make

these prizes, but to have their own To-
cality represented. 1t will be an adv
ertisement for the several counties and
aid in advertising Kansas to the hosts
of visitors from abroad who will be here.
This is the year Of all years to show to
the world that Kansas is still in the
lead.
For display of farm products by an
individual (the material may be gathered
up all over the country three premiums
are offered, as follows: SIS, $50 and
s25. This should be an incentive to
the farmer to prepare good collection
from his county fair and bring or send
to Topeka,
The dairy men will be in clover this
year. In addition to the liberal pre-
miums offered by the Fair Association
the following specials are added: The
American Short Horn Breeders;
Association offer $3.50 as a premium

The Hereford Cattle Breeders, Associa-
ton offer special prizes. aggregating
s175, for the best display in this class
