Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 14.-William
j. Bryan is the whole show" at to-
days barbecue of Ohio democrats,
held under the auspices of the Jeffer-
son club. 1t was intended to get all
the possible democratic presidential
candidates to come here today, but
Mr.. Bryan was the only one to accept
the invitation. Governor Harmon Is
spending his summer vacation in Mich
igan, Governor Woodrow Wilson OF
New Jersey is too busy in the East.
Champ Clark has had his hands full
looking after congressional affairs, and
Governor Marshall of Indiana had an
other engagement.
Some of the anti-Harmon men assert
that the governor could have come II
he had wished, and that his reason
for staying away was desire to avoid
the Nebraskan.

Y. W. c. A. happy

The Young Woman's Christian
Association of the Teachers college
is very happy these days. First OF
all, the association was delighted
by the gift of new room. The
room is that one on the third floor
of the Administration building
which was formerly occupied by the
art department. In this room the
weekly association meetings are
held. Every meeting this year has
been well attended and we'll worth
anybody's while. A series of wom-
anhood lectures were just COM
pleted. These were given by men,
bers of the faculty and ladies in the
town upon subjects dealing with the
college woman in her various posi-
tions of life.
Last Wednesdays meeting was of
unusual interest and brought a rich
blessing to the girls who attended.
Dr. Bailey of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church in Denver, who
is perhaps better known among col
lege Y. w C. A. girls as "Our DR..
Bailey, spoke to the girls. His
theme was: "The Making of a
Life" He showed SO clearly that a
Christian life is the art of living
with nothing mystical and supersti-
tious about it. He appealed to the
girls very strongly to be their nat
ural selves, doing the will of their
Master.
Since it was one of the desires of
the association to furnish the new
room and provide for it's better use
the advisory board of the associa-
ton gave biue and white china
shower Thursday afternoon. A
musical program was given after
which tea and rice cakes were
served by the high school girls.
Nearly two hundred ladies and girls
were present. The association re-
ceived many beautiful dishes, and
also several lunch cloths. The girls
greatly appreciate the shower. and
soon hope to have a china closet for
the dishes, rugs for the floors,
couches, tables and many other
things.
With so much to be thankful for
the girls are encouraged over the
bazaar which they are to give De-
cember Is in the association room.
This bazaar is an annual affair, and
to those who have attended one be-
fore it needs no Introduction. All
sorts OF things will be sold, such as
art and metal work, fancy aprons,
handkercihefs, bags. cal
endars. candy, refreshment and re-
cipe books. This is an excellent
chance to purchase the Christmas
presents.

not alone the farmers, as the rest

many sections of the state that were
formerly absolutely barren had been
brought under a state of cultivation
until now some of the most prosper

ago could not have been given away.
It was stated that the various
counties in the state are contribut-

donors. Receipts for such funds
received have this stipulation print
ed across the face of them. The

asked to Contribute $500. to be
handed back II the state funds are
f0rthcoming, and the members OF
the Committee endorsed the plan.
The proposition will be placed be-
fore The commissioners the early
part Of next week.
The members of the committee
were of the opinion that the extern
sion work of the college is neces-
sity, and while Mr.. McClelland was
speaking of the development work
that has been done by some of the
v. l. Provost asked:
couldn't they also develop for us
a letter breed of legislators?" and
the remark was greeted with much
genuine laughter. C. X. McHarg
presided at the meeting, and the
resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
