Large flags float from the flag poles
over the city-the city, county. state
and federal buildings coming under
this head
who are still 'up in the air. so to
speak. concerning the rules of the To-
cal street railway system The street
cars always stop on the lar sloe OF
the street-with very few exceptions
These exceptions are always noted by
signs placed upon the trolley poles in
plain sight. At the transfer station,
Eighth and Kansas avenue, the cars
all stop. This means that no stops |
are made on the north side OF the in
tersection of Kansas and Eighth ave-
nues. The transfer station Is Just
across the street from the State Jour
nal Office. The conductor VIII tell you
the rest. The street car people are
suburb and "place of interest" lines
this afternoon and during the whole
time of the convention. The dele
gates will find the street car men very
courteous and obiiging.
1t is said that this will be the largest
convention in the history of Kansas.
Never before have 5000 delegates
gathered together for such meeting
A Y. NJ. c. A. convention in Topeka
few years ago brought 1900 delegates
and the last Sunday school affair at
Wichita brought over 1000 but TINS
will exceed them all. And probably
it will be the largest collection OF
religious educators ever gathered to-
gether in one city in Kansas.

organization of said convention. three
recording secretaries were elected, two
