HOW IT WORKS.

It was a hot summer day. It was
also dusty. One hundred and fit!
men were riding from town to towI
in Central Kansas, in autos, on
trade extension tour. They were Kan
sas men-merchants, lawyers, doctors
editors, clerks, mechanics, bankers
farmers. From time to time they
stopped at thirteen towns during the
days run.
No one in the crowd spoke Of beer
No one had any beer. No one at the
thirteen towns offered anyone any
beer. At most of the towns there
We're great, deep, stone jars of iced
lemonade on the sidewalks with
bright tincups hanging from the jars
and a sign up, Welcome, Empor-
ians." There was no whisky, beer
or wine in the crowd.
No one missed it. No one spoke Of
it. For these men, ranging from 30
to 80, had lived in Kansas thirty
years under absolute prohibition.
Most of them had never been in a
saloon in their home town in their
lives. Booze was as remote from
their consciousness as carbalic acid.
Booze is not in the Kansas scheme
Of things. No one thinks Of it. Its
presence or absence is not considered
by the Kansas mind.-W. A. White,
in the Emporia Gazette.

every attempt is to be made to widen

Since it is the State Fair, actually,
being the property of the common
wealth, it's managers are endeavoring
to broaden it so it may prove more

to come and showing will be made
by the time of the fair this fall.
Hutchinson may expect to entertain
a very large number of visitors this
September, for they are coming from
far and wide to be instructed and en-
tertained by the exhibits made, and
by the amusements offered by the
Kansas State Fair. 1t will be the
busiest week Hutchinson has ever
known, likely, and the visitors will
find all the people working hand in
hand to make a larger and a better
fair than has been the case on any
past Occasion.-Hutchinson News.
