Space for Kansas,

1t has been learned that space in all

80 rapidly taken that it is necessary for
those persons desiring space to apply
Immediately, giving accurate and ex-
plicit dimensions and forms of the things
to be entered. In all the women's de-
partments applications must be signed
by the women commissioners of the
state, Mrs. Hanback, and Mrs. Mitchell.
Blank forms can be secured by the
women of Shawnee county from either
of the state commissioners, when they
are in the city, or of the chairman of the
executive committee of the county asso-
citation, Mrs. Judge A. II. Horton.
Very few applications have yet been
made by the women of Kansas for space
in the competitive exhibit, but it is
hoped that they will not fall behind
other states in carrying off honors for
their work. Individuals must make the
applications for space in any and all de-

filled out blanks must bear the sigma
