DAY.
A trail was marked out and the
blazing has commenced. The first
act was characteristic of the commit
tee-namely, calling of a state meet

termine two things: Shall the ex-
position be held, and if this question

An address to the state will be is

out to address county and district
meetings. Teachers, Women's clubs

The committee of seventeen did not
arbitrarily decide to hold an exposi-

located at Topeka. at Hutchinson, at
Wichita, at wellington or any other
particular city of the state. These
are matters for the whole state to set

VIII Meet on Kansas Birthday.
The meeting will be held in To-
pela because it was here that the idea
of an exposition was given birth. The
exact date is undecided, but it will be
on January %, Kansas birthday. or a
date close thereto. That date holds

much sentiment for Kansas people
and for that reason was chosen.
This part of the programme was
mapped out today by the temporary
committee on organization. It met
Immediately after the morning ses-
sion of the general committee, and
determined that the best thing to do
would be to place the matter directly
into the keeping of representatives
from all over Kansas
Begin Advertising at Once.
The next matter to need immediate
attention was that of publicity. This
is a department without which a fair
or exposition would be absolutely pow
erIess. A good working committee
was at once appointed and though but
two members were here today, J. e.
Junkin of Sterling, and J. G. ConnelI
of Topeka, they at once held a con-
ference and decided to set to work ad-
vertising- Their first effort viii be an
address to the state. 1t will contain
facts, history, plans, sentiment and
everything to inspire every true kan
san with the full impulse of the move
ment. This will be circulated every
where, not in Kansas alone. The cam
paign in this state viii be carried on
through the medium of speakers sent
out, especially county superintendent,
schools, churches and Women's clubs.
The mails leaving Topeka will carry
thousands of these letters. They viii
be the most artistic results which
printers ink can devise
A State Affair.
It would have done anyone good to
have heard the talks at the meeting
today. Though every member of the
committee thinks Topeka the place to
hold the exposition, yet everyone took
particular pains to say that the state,
the whole state, should determine
upon the location. And the spirit Of
Topeka came to the front again when
Secretary T. ]. Anderson arose and
said: 1.-THE Commercial club of To-
peka simply started this thing and is
anxious to get out from directly under
it as soon as possible. If some other
city is chosen Topeka and Shawnee
county will join right in and make
the best display OF any city or county
in the state. Topeka is for the expo
sition no matter where it goes
Washburn's Offer.
DR.. Norman Plass. of Washburn col
lege, appeared before the committee
and presented a proposition FROM the
board of trustees of that institution.
He said that the college is willing if
the exposition is brought here to turn
over the campus to it's use. He pre-
possesses.
Ride in Automobiles.
! This afternoon those members of the

praised the beauty of the proposed 10

paper umbrella drizzly afternoon, wondering if
there was not some way in which his plenty could
relieve the hard lot of the old Samura when,
passing by the gate and glancing at the time-worn
house he met Chukci the nakoio coming out.
"Oh-ho!" said Chobei he the middleman,
"a wedding, Ell? What lucky young fellow can 1t
be- wonder, who is to have Jukichi's daughter for
a Wife," and on he went with this new and pleasing
subject for his reflection.
Chobe was not the only who had seen
the matchmaker leave Jukichis door. Picking
her way daintiy up the muddy street on her
tall getds was the Samurais daughter herself,
the one most of all concerned in the negotiations
which had been going in her house.
