The officers of the Kansas Semi-Cen-
tennial Exposition feel gratified with the
prospect as it appears just now.
A short time ago notices were sent to
the county commissioners Of each of the
counties in the state requesting that a
vice president be appointed to represent
their county. Fifteen replies have been
received.
From letters received from all over the
state it is gathered that the vice presI-
dents, will all be elected and duly ap-
pointed by the association within short
time.
The fifteen counties from which vice
presidents have been chosen follow:
Bourbon county, Prof. T. r. Long
shore.
Butler county. R. H. Hazlett-
Cherokee county, James H EInoGc.
Elk county, G. F. Osborne.
Finney county, E. J. PyleS-
Cove county, S. S. Reynolds.
Graham county, D. J. Hanna
Jefferson county, C. L. Horning,
Mcpherson county, A. w. Smith.
PottaWatomie county, A. H. KnechE.
Saline county, A. p. Collins
Shawnee county, Col A S. johnson.
Smith county, Schuyler @. Stevens.
Washington county, S. T. Yoder.
Wyandotte county, James +. Getty.
John E. Frost. president of the asso-
citation, said to a State Journal reporter
this morning: 1--WE feel encouraged
with the way the people have taken hold
of the matter. With the first of the
week we will probably begin taking sub
scriptions over the state. After secur-
ing subscriptions to the capital stock OF
the company to the amount of $4,000 we
will be prepared to ask for an appro-
priatiOn from the Legislature.
Our spondence shows that the
plan is meeting with favor all over the
state and that the legislators are nearly
all heartily in favor of the project. 1t
will without doubt be the best stroke of
advertising Kansas has ever received 1t
will induce visitors to the exposition to
invest new capital in the state and will
be a great help in increasing the popu-
Iation''
F. D. Coburn, chairman of the COM
mittee of publicity and promotion, has
had made in Chicago recently for his
own use in the office of the department
of agriculture of the state of Kansas
some stickers advertising the exposition.
The idea was original with Mr.. Coburn
and at q meeting of the committee
which will be called soon after the cleo
ton the plan for the stickers will be
adopted and the stickers will be printed
in quantities.
This will be one of the most effective
methods of advertising the exposition.
Besides being placed on all the letters
sent from the state of Kansas they may
be given to commercial travellers who
will stick them up in conspicuous places
in other cities.
When a person goes east on a bust
ness or pleasure trip he may put 3. wad
buying a cigar will stick an exposition
advertisement on the slot machine
Likewise when he uses the telephone a
sticker may be put on the phone and
in this manner the stickerS will be put
up where they will always attract the
attention of business people and others
who may become interested and come
to the exposition.
