the affair OF last night a joyous one.

Or. c s Sargent gave the opening pray
er, which was an eloquent, righteous APP
peal. Following this, Prof. Erasmus Ha-
worth. of the Kansas State University,
delivered an address on -Kansas-Ier
Mineral Wealth" Prof Haworths adj
dress was a magnificent discourse on the
riches Of the Sunfower state that lie
line was produced, showing that Kansas
has mineral wealth amounting to far
more than even dreamers have thought
of
Prof L B. Cowgirl, editor of the Kan
sas Farmer. of Topeka, addressed the
audience on "kansas-Her Chief Source
CT Income" His expressions savored
strongly Of the historical side of Kan
sas having taken up some of the early
Indian affairs. But the pith of his ar
gument was that farmers and farming
are the chief source of income The
products of Kansas and its producers
were given many praiseworthy boquets.
The next address was on 'Kansas-Her
Banks Historically and Prophetcally.
and was delivered by the pioneer KanSan,
J. r. Mulvane. of Topeka. II was hum
orous and full Of many heretofore un-
written descriptions of early Wichita.
He told of the founder of Wichita and
numerous other conspicuous statesmen
and city-bulders. The address was
sparkling with wit and personal illusions
which proved highly pleasing to the
audience. His explanation of early bank
ing in Kansas was more than laugha bic
and was enjoyed by everyone.
Chancellor Frank Strong, of the Kan
eas State University, was the last speak
er on the program last night, his subject
being Reconsideration and Nor
ally" In his opening remarks he told
several very appropriate jokes, which
created much laughter. His talk was
deep and philosophical. Education. of
course, was the topic and his was .
model address on the training of young
men and women. Incidentally the splen-
doris of the Kansas University were gor-
Eeousy painted, all of which that insti-
tuition justly deserves. Chancellor Strong
is fluent speaker and his address was
cheered loudly.
The Apollo Club gave the concluding
number of the program in a very fitting
selection which was encored. The au-
dience never grew tired of the singing.
and could they have expressed their
views they would have remained in the
hall all night listening to the excellent
voices of the unsurpassed Apollo Club.
After this a reception was held, at
which the officers of the Bankers AS
sociation were the guests of honor. The
Wichita bankers and their courteous lad
ies handled the affair successfully and
