There is nothing new in the method

to build up a manufacturing center.
II went home to Germany last sum-
mer for the first time in ID years, and
found that there has been wonder
full change during that time, and Ger
many is capturing the market Of the
world. I asked an Englishnan on a
train how it is that his country is fall
ing behind in her exports and Germany
IS forging ahead. He said that the
Englishman and Scotchman are money
lenders, but that the Germans are will
ing to risk their money in manufacture
ing interests.
TT is up to us. in Kansas to decide
Whether we are going to be a money
lending proposition or put our money
into factories and grow.
we can manufacture goods in this
country and afford to export them on
account of our inventions and our ma
ch1nes. What are we going to do with
our money?
I'VE are shipping goods from this
state to all parts of the country. We
are sending brick and glass all over the
land. Some people have the foolish
ldea that manufacturing belongs solely
to the east. I believe that the state
ralr would be as good a means of adj

Topeka the Natural Place.
'As far as 1 am concerned. it seems

city as our capital. 1t seems to me
that the people of Kansas should have

have some kind of an excuse to come
to Topeka.
I'VE should have the fair large
enough and grand enough to represent
this great state of ours. You must

can't do it with pumpkins
The speaker then, just in the form
of pleasantly, said:
The farmer doesn't need to exhibit
his stuff. Why should hep He has
got the world by the tail on a down
hill pull. 1t seems to me that all the
farmer needs is some place to spend
his money.
y was at Rheims. France. at the
great rly1ng machine exhibition and
there were thousands of people there.
II seems as though the crowds had
been under estimated. I'd arrange
with Glenn Curtiss to be in Topeka
with his biDlane. 1t will cost you
something, but you won't be able to
keep the people away. I believe that
1t would be a winner. The people want
to see something exciting
In regard to a flying machine for
the next fair. the committee had al
ready considered the matter seriously
and had Investigated the cost of bring
ing a machine to Topeka. Those pres

idea. and it is not at all improbable
that Topeka Will see a Wright or Cur

Mayor Hubbard of wellington en-
phasized the necessity of putting spe-

success. You can't be too nice and

Thinking the boys had been overjoyed
at the sight of the pretty, brightly
colored toys, the judge turned to one
and asked:
Didn't you have any Christmas last
year?''
mo, didn't have any, the little
boy said slowly, looking out of the
window
When the father came, the judge
asked him if he had not given the boy
anything last Christmas. The father
answered, mo, I don't believe 1 did"
Well said the judge, ST take it
that you are a poor man, but it makes
