FARMERS WANT TO KNOW.
Many Inquiries Made About Kansas
Exhibit.

The state department of agriculture is
receiving a great many inquiries these
days as to who has charge of the
preparation of the Kansas agricultural
exhibit for the Worlds fair. There
seems to be a widespread impression
that the state department Of agriculture
is doing this work, but this is erroneous.
It Is done, Of course, under the general
supervision of the Kansas Worlds fair
commission, but H. H. Kerns of Bon
ner Springs, is superintendent of the ex-
hibit, and will look after all the de-
tails of preparing the exhibit.
Just now when the corn crop is COM
ing in a. great many fine specimens are
being saved for exhibit purposes, and
those who are saving them want to
know to whom they shall write con-
corning them.

ORATORY AT Low EBB.
Association at Washburn Torn by
Internal Dissension.

The reorganization of the Washburn
College Oratorical association is not
making rapid progress. Students who
understand the situation say that il
the college overthrows the present or
ganizatiOn she will lose her member
ship in the State Oratorical association.
They say that the other schools in the
state association are represented on
the same basis with Washburn. The
Wash.burn college associa ton is an in
tegral part of the state association and
if it is dissolved Washburn will have
no representation in the State Orator
ica1 association and will have no right
to participate in the state contest.
Consequently the reorganization
movement is progressing slowly
Washburn does not want to wreck its
chance of carrying off honors in this
years state contest but the majority
of the students in the school are rather
in favor of shaking up the oratorical
affairs of the school and putting them
on a different basis. There are not more
than twenty-five or thirty members in
the association which represents Wash
burn college in Intercollegiate oratorf-
cal affairs In school of several hun
dred students this appears not to be
the proper arrangement although, nom
inally, every member of the school is
entitled to equal opportunities in the
attainment of oratorical honors. It is
claimed that fractional interference
through the membership of the Ora
torical association prevents the enjoy
ment of this equal privilege Not ma
jority of the members of the associa-
ton are in favor Of the reorganization
and while the students who originated
the scheme to reorganize say they do
net intend to permit the difference TO
develop into a quarrel there appears 10
be a likelihood of an open and deter
mined fractional fight before the col
/ lege term is finished.
