most state in the Union.
Two OF the charter members are not
residents Of Wichita. Nj Dean in the
organization undertook to form an asso-
citation for the exhibition Of the products
OF southern Kansas and Oklahoma, and
to this end he has associated with him
at least one man from every county in
this section. All were not charter men,
bers, but Mr.. Dean has received notices
from a number of prominent stockmen
and business men who will take stock
and will work for the association. Each
county In southern Kansas and Oklahoma
can have a representative in the stock
holders meeting.
This is not an exposition Of Sedgwick
county products, but one embracing the
entire wheat belt Of Kansas and Okla
homa, as well as the stock interests.
Many Of the stockholders VIII be stock
men. but they are men interested IN the
upbuilding of this country. They are in
tsrested in IA nsas; they are interested in
Wichita. for she provides market foi
their products easy Of access, and the
prices obtained are as good and often
better than in other markets. The grain
men are also interested. They want a
big grain market AZ Wichita.
Committees Of the best and most con-
servative business men Of this city and
the southwest have been appointed to ad
wise and look after the work. but the
greatest load hangs on the superintend-
ents OF the various divisions. These men
~ill have direct charge OF their lines,
and they must necessarily have fun con-
troll of their departments. but they must
also consider the wishes and welfare OF
the other departments and superintend
eRts, and for this reason the superintend-
ents are formed into an executive COM
