BAILEY TO SPEAK.
First Public Appearance After
Inauguration Before Farmers.

Gov. Bailey's first official public appear
ance after his Inauguration will be when
he makes his address of welcome before
the Kansas State Board of Agriculture on
January a. That viii be a day and a half
after he becomes governor and he will then
be an ex-oficio member of the board. 1t
viii not be the first time he has been q
member, however. AS farmer and stock
grower he formerly took a great deal Of
interest in the annual meetings of the
farmers and at the time of his election to
congress in 1898 he was a member OF the
board.

self from the impression that privately
Secretary Coburn is partial to the pollSd
breeds of cattle, although officially he is
a non-partisian, as all will testify, having
now given each of the leading beef breeds
an inning But, aside from having recent
~ issued a somewhat pretent ious volume

he now comes forward with the head of an
Aberdeen Angus on the front OF his pro
gramme for the forthcoming meeting and
on the next page is a pure bred Galloway,
and no reference to the breeds adorned
! with horns. Not only is the foregoing true,
but one Of the most conspicuous and sue
ceSsful breeders and feeders OF ''dOddles
