accept the position of secretary of the
association this year. He refused for
the reason, as he said, that he would
be required to be out of the city a con-
siderable portion of the time and would
be unable to do justice to the poultry
show. 1t is due to the untiring efforts
of Secretary Gillies that the show this
year is the unpredecedents success that ii
is.
This is the eleventh annual show of
the Kansas association and is the fourth
successive year that the show has been
in Topeka. The show this year eclipSeS
all former efforts The annual show
has been built up from the time lit first
came to Topeka and was held in a small
downtown store room until now it oc-
cupies the Auditorium, and has no room
to spare.
The attendance has been all that
could be desired. At o'clock tl1e af-
600 paid admissions had been made at
the show. 1t will be open tonight and
tomorrow until IL o'clock tomorrow
night.
The proceeds of the show this year
will be uSed to buy new coops for the
show next year. Considerable annoy
ance is occasioned by the non-uniform-
ity of coops, and this will be alleviated
by the purchase of new coops for the
state show, by the association.
