No event of the season is of more
Importance to the club women of
Kansas than the presentation of
Pawnee Rock to the state of Kansas
by the Womens Kansas Day club. A
meeting of the executive board of the
w. K. D. club was held in the state
historical society rooms Friday morn
ing and after it the club adjourned to
the office of Governor Hoch where the
deed to Pawnee Rock, five acres of
ground surrounding it, and the road
way leading to it, were presented by
the president of the club, Mrs. J. S.
Simmons of Hutchinson, to the gov
ernor, to hold in trust for the state.
The formal presentation of the deed
to the state will be made at a joint
session of the two branches of the leg
iSlature on Kansas Day.
Pawnee Rock is one of the land
marks of the state, an enormous rock
situated in Barton county, the scene
of an Indian massacre famous in Kan
saS pioneer history. The rock was
on the farm of Benjamin Unruh who
offered it for a state park with the
condition that a roadway through his
farm be purchased and certain i'm
provements made. The cost amounted
to $4,000 and the Woman'S Kansas
Day club voted a year ago, when Mrs.
J. S. Simmons was elected president
to raise the money and present the
Rock to the state. One thousand dol
lars of the sum is still to be raised,
but the deed passed into the hands of
the club this week and was presented
to the governor yesterday. The club
hopes to make the rest of the money
through private contributions and the
sale of the souvenir booklet, Echoes
of Pawnee Rock.
The Woman's Kansas Day club has
been in existence only three years, but
has a large membership of patriotic
Kansas women. It's primary object is
to celebrate Kansas Day along histori-
cal lines, and to preserve early Kan
sas history The Pawnee Rock work
was undreamt of when the club was
organized and when Mrs. Simmons
took it up at the beginning of her ad
ministration few, perhaps, thought her
efforts would meet with such prompt
success. If you don't know that rails
ing $4,000 in less than a year is "go-
ing some you don't know much about
the frenzied financing Of a patriotic,
philanthropical or religious move
ment. Mrs. Simmons has won a place
among the Kansas Immortals and the
Woman's Kansas day club has earned
the right to be considered seriously No
other woman's organization has done
as much in as short a time.
The W. r. c., the D. A. r. and the
Good Government club Of Topeka
have aided in the Pawnee Rock work
and will be invited to participate in
the w. K. D. clubs annual program
on Kansas Day. A committee of sew
program no details of which have so
far been arranged.
The members of the executive board
who attended the meeting yesterday
were Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. w. A. John
ston, Miss Lucy Kingman, Mrs ]. D.
Mrs. E. E. Roudebush,
Mrs. L. D. Monroe, Mrs. B. F. Shu

AN ITCHING PALM.


Itching Preferable.
There is no cure for an itching palm

new skin discovery, cannot help it.
But when 1t comes to eczema the
most annoying of itching skin troubles,
poslam will stop the itching at once
and cure the worst cases in a few
days. So with hives, rash, scabies.
split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of
which are different forms of eczema,
accompanied by severe itching and
caused by imperfect digestion and
careless diet.
Poslam comes in two-dollar jars,
but fifty cents worth will answer in
curing any of the diseases mentioned.
It can be had of any druggist. Fred A.
Snow makes a speciality of it.
That results are immediate will be
