KANSAS .CULLINGS.
aJnnaos nj the Worlds Fair.

The attention OF the people OF Kan
Bas cannot be too frequently called
to the desirability Of proper represent
alton from this state at the Worlds
fair, nor can the Importance OF making
the best, exhibit possible in all practt-
cal departments Of the great exposE
ton, be too forcibly impressed upon
the minds OF the people, for upon the
people mainly depends failure or sue
cess.
Such opportunities for advantageous
exhibit come only once in a life time.
The worl Id has never seen an expo
sition gotten upupon such grand
and comprehensive scale, and 1t is not
likely that another like 1t will again
be witnessed in the life time OF any
person now living.
Upon this occasion people will not
assemble by the tens OF thousands but
by the tens of millions, not only from
all portions OF the United States but
from every part OF the civilized world,
10 witness the wondrOus evidences OF
a most remarkable growth by a most
progressive people, under the favor OF
Divine Providence,
Under the dripping dews OF the
great dome there is no fairer land than
Kansas, and this will be the time
and place to make statement of the
fact, and back 1t with the convincing
proofs. We want to speak OF our pro-
ductive soil, our abundance OF pure,
sparkling water, our invigorating
climate, our energy, enlightenment
and liberality. What will be more
convincing proof of the truth OF our
statements than the presentation OF
some of the best OF our products, agri-
cultural, Industrial and intellectual?
We want to exhibit our talest rye,
oats, barley, wheat, corn, millet, tim
othy, clover. etc. Our largest pota-
toes. onions, beets, pumpkins and cab
bages. Our choicest fruits honey and
butter, and convince all doubters that
all along the line success in remark
able degree crowns our effort. We
want to convince the people that what
people are doing people may do
There will be tens OF thousands of
people there from overpopulated states
OF the east willing and anxious to
better their condition by change II you
but convince them that you olIer u
change for the better.
Take pains to show to such that we
still have millions OF acres OF unoccu-
pied land, each acre Of which will pro-
duce four times as much as the same
quantity OF the sterile hills OF the
East and at less than one-iourth the
cost OF production and when making
the statements point to our products
as the proof Show others that this
state Is capable of sustaining ten mil
lion people as we'll as the one million
we now have, and depend upon it
those now here as we'll as those to
come, will be benefited by the in
crease Bulk of business builds bust
ness and betters markets. 1t will give
railroads carrying trade that will not
only justify but bring great reduc-
tion in rates, and in the train will
come enhanced values in land, in
creased manufacturing industries and
better times for all.
Let us not stand STOPPING In the vain
attempt to lift ourselves over the fence
by our boot straps, but let us stand up
erect like men, and scale the obstacles
In ourpath. Let us pursue the push
ing policy that resulted in the upbulld-
ing OF the great Worlds fair city,
which Is the marvel of all people,
standing unparalleled for rapidlty Of
growth in the history OF nations. With
in comparative few years the energy
OF man has transformed series Of frog
ponds along the shore of Lake Michi-
gan into the grand city which is now
the pride Of the world, and the same
sort OF stuff will work u wonderful
change in this state. Let us apply it
with all the will and intelligence we
possess The opportunity is at hand,
Let us sieze it,
Farmers, upon your cooperation
and help all depends, As you pass
through your fields, select specimens
of your choicest products, and notify
some member of the commission, some
superintendent or some member OF
some local worlds fair organization,
so that the specimen may be carefully
saved and exhibited with name OF
producer and place of production at
tached. Small quantities OF the
choicest products Of every neighbor-
hood are wanted in order to prove
that the state is an all.over good one
and not merely productive in spots
like some OF the older eastern state:
that some OF you remember so we'll.
1t will be the aim OF the commission
to exhibit the best furnished, in the
best possible manner, both attractive
and convincing.
