FfftyTwo Carloads. Broom Corn Pur-
chased by Illinois People.

Wichita, Kan. Feb. 17.-The Wichita
broom corn market was thrown into
something of a furry when it became
noised about that two men, ]. A. Rose
boom of MattooT, Ill. and w. L. Rose
boom OF Chicago, had purchased 26 car
loads of brush and that they had all
but closed for the purchase of another
block OF the same proportions.
What the Rosebooms paid for their
recent purchases is not given out, but
the report was current that it would
average about cents a pound. Inas-
much as a carload contains about ten
tons, it will be seen that the 50 car
loads would represent about $4,000.
Much of this was purchased from the
American Warehouse company in this
city. while Oklahoma and other Wichita
dealers furnished some of it. Several
Oklahoma dealers are in town for the
purpose of submitting propositions to
the Rosebooms, it is said.

TO IMPROVE ROADS.
Motor Clubs Have Formed Many Assoc
Citations.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 17.-With the
breaking up of winter automobile clubs
are being organized in several smaller
towns in central Kansas. The principal
object of the new organizations will be
the improvement of the country roads.
For nearly two months this winter it
was impossible to run a motor car
over the rural roads because of the bad
condition in which they were placed
early in the fall by the steady rains.
In several of the towns where clubs
are being formed the editor of the local
paper has been made an honorary
member, Notwithstanding the fact that
he is not the possessor of a car and has
very little hopes of owning one. 1t is
argued by the advocates of good roads
that the editor will take more interest
in the improvement sought if he is a
member of the club.
One of the latest towns to organize
with the editor a charter member is
Delphos, in Ottawa county. The mem :
bership of this club will not be confined
to the town, but will consist also of
farmers who own cars or expect to
early in the spring. s.-

cipal address. He told of that first

the development of the Normal to the

interesting information regarding the
origin of the normal school idea in
France late in the eighteenth century.
Judge Kellogg closed his address with
a brilliant prophecy for the Kansas
State Normal of the future. The ad-
dress is written and in the handwrit-
ing of Judge Kellogg and it is the in
tention of President Hill to preserve
it at, the Normal for rendition on One

PROFESSOR DYC4IE RETURNS.
He Says Kansas Girls Are Prettier
Than New Orleans CreoIes.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 17-About two
weeks ago Prof. L. L. Dyche, state fish
and game warden for Kansas, packed
his grip and started out for New Or
leans to attend the National Convention
of Fish and Game Wardens. As he
bearded the train. Prof. Dyche said:
"Goodby, am off for New Orleans
where I will see the Creoles, Orioles
and SeininoleS, and with a smile the
most genial man in Kansas was off.
Yesterday afternoon the door of the
Office opened and in walked Prof. Dyche.
He put down mis- baggage on the floor
and he seemed quite serious.
Wen, professor. how did you like
New Orleans and those Orioles, Creoles
and SeminoleS ?" he was asked
Il didn't like tnem.' he answered.
II was never so disappointed in my
life. Why talk about those girls being
pretty, why 1.Oo6 of them wouldn't
be as pretty as two northern girls. If
you want the pretty girls just come
north. Why those K. u. girls would
make those southern girls dwind+e
away. Pretty! don't see where any
one got that idea. AS for New Orleans.
il is the dirtiest. the ugliest town-and
that Mardi Gras. or whatever they call
it. That is the craziest thing you ever
saw. The town was packed with their
own people and they just go crazy. You
ought to see how those people were
dressed for that Mardi Gras. Why it's
just crazy. But about those good look
ing girls. To my opinion the best part
Of good looks is good manners and be-
ing courteous. They. don't know a thing
about that"-which was a surprise as
the southern people are supposed to be
famous for their hospitality. mo, sir, .
