KANSAS HAPPENINGS
Kansas schools 70 Adxsrtlaa.

| kansas SCHOOLS 70 ADVERTISE,
1t Is possible that the University Of
Kansas and state normal school will
be able to do little newspaper ad-
vertising this year, after all. Last
year James M. Nation. state auditor,
ruled that the schools could not spend
the states money for newspaper ad-
vertising for students, as he believed
1t was bad policy. Also he could
not see the wisdom Of q school adver-
Using for students and then asking the
legislature for additional funds, be-
cause there are more students than
can be cared for properly. The schools
were notified that no advertisement
bills would be audited or allowed this
year. But, few days ago It was
learned that the agricultural college
was placing advertising contracts with
newspapers. The school was notified
that thesbills, would 'not-be allowed and
word came back that the state would
not pay the bill as advertising con-
tracts would be paid for out Of the
$4,000 appropriated by the govern
ment for agricultural college work and
not out Of state funds. As the audi
tor has no central over the govern
ment money he could not stop that
school, so arrangements are being
made for the university and state nor
NAL schools to spend a few hundred
dollars year for advertising.

Kansas to Store Wheat.

The mills and farmers of Central
Kansas are preparing to store wheat
next year. For several years they have
seen wheat lower in the fall than in
the spring. and the fashion Of selling
wheat directly from the threshing
machine has grown until early winter
sees the crop well out of the wheat
belt. This years experience has been
a lesson and the mills are building
steel and concrete warehouses to hold
$4,000 to 100000 bushels in prepare
ton for storage. The farmers, too, are
building granaries and barns, and next
season will see more wheat stored
than in a half dozen years previous
ly. Most Of the Central Kansas mills
are shut down because Of lack Of grain
to grind.

The Change
of Years

a \ HE sentiment which sur.
III rounded Memorial day
with feelings Of sacred
character, when 1t was
inaugurated Al years
ago, has In a measure
passed away with the lapse of time.
Then the majority Of the people of
the United States had the graves Of
fathers, sons or brothers who had
given their lives to the union to mark
for honor and tender recollection.
The memories Of the great struggle
for the union and freedom were en-.
HANGED by personal memories OF the
dead.
The lapse of years has wrought an
inevitable change. Even to the older
part OF the community who retain
the memory of the civil war and its
heroes the freshness of the recollec.
ton is lessened by the passage OF
time. The greater part of the CON-
munity is new generation, whose
knowledge OF the events originally
designed to be commemorated is OBJ
tanned by reading or at second hand,
without the force OF personal memory.
Naturally, therefore, the progress OF
time has made Memorial day an an.
niversary of honor for the principle
Of patriotism and Of the memories OF
the dead, more than a revival Of the
personal feelings that hallowed the
first two decades Of the observance.
