holland entered the executive depart

action. The treasurer walked quietly
out and thereafter had nothing TO say 9.
The action of Governor Francis naturally
preoipitates rumors concerning the irreg-

of the governor that If there is defc-

an admission that there is shortage OF

Interest IN the Karporama increases as
the days go by, and all indications point
to fine exhibit and an immense attend
aace.
The Texas Panhandle route has made
a rate OF one fare for the round trip TO
the Texas Spring Palace from all Colo
RADIO points. The people will be here in
May.
John Howard was down yesterday and
selected space on the exterior, and in the
interior of the Palace for Wichita county
decoration and exhibit. The wheat
country of Texas Will be at the Palace in
great shape.
If the ladies who want to make pieces
of decoration for the Palace, will apply
to the office, No. 6l0 Main street, the
management will take pleasure in assist
Ing them to gather material, or render
any other aid in their power.

Every individual has some good sug-
gestion TO make for the good Of the

ing. Would also feel grateful if anyone
would make a note and give information
where anything can be had that will
beautity and adorn the building.
