The new editor has been the
recipient of numerous congra tulations
on bis initial number of THE FREE
PRESS. Now, while we are not object
ing to any good things our friends may
say about us, their is one thing we
appreciate more just at this time. We
mean the substantial support-the
almighty dollar if we must be exact.
There are numerous changes and
improvements we would like to make
in the shop in order to produce a
better paper for our readers, and in
order to do this we must of course
have funds If you have friends or
relatives who don't take the paper
subscribe for them or if you feel that
you are not in position to do this, at
least tell them about the paper. By
so doing you will benefit the editor,
who will in turn improve the paper
for YOUR benefit

We have just received copy of the
forty-fourth annual catalogue of the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
1t contains PA pages and "a illustra-
tions, and lists 1897 different students
for the past year, 1884 from 100 Kan
sas counties and 4S from other states.
The worth of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College to the State from its
experimental work is far in excess of
the cost to the people of the State, yet
its greatest value is in educating young
men and young women In regard to
the opportunities and privileges of the
farm. Young men and women who are
dissatisfied with farm life or who wish
to extend their knowledge of the
business of farming or home making
should write for a catalogue. There
are alsotother courses of study that
may be followed. Address the presi-
dent, E. R. Nichols, Manhattan, Kans.
