Commencement Exercises at the
State iversity-Alumni

Three hundred and ninety-nine de-
grees were conferred by the Univer-
sity of Kansas at the forty-first annual
commencement.
Chancellor Strong presented the stu
dents with the diplomas, following
which a university dinner in honor of
the graduating class was served
P. P. C1axton, United States COM
missioner of education, delivered the
commend cement address. The subject
was THE College Man of Tomorrow"
Mount Dread was a scene of Grim
son and gold in honor of the class that
was leaving. Glass day events in
cluded the parade TO the various build
ings on the campus and the farewell
addresses to these buildings, the dance
about the totem pole and the smoking
of the pipe of peace.
The alumni reunions were held and
the Alumni association held its annual
meeting at which it resolved to do
more work for the school next year.
The newly elected officers of the
association are: ]. A. Prescott of

About ten thousand acres of govern

An order to that effect has just
reached the government land office a.

kan and Receiver l. ]. Pettijohn are
preparing their offices to take care OF
the extra work which the opening viii
make. An offer of free land is always
followed by a flood of demands for in

who want to own land of their own.
The land to be opened for settlement
is what is known as the government
forest reserve. 1t all lies south of the
Arkansas river, west of Syracuse. The
land is scattered over a tract compris-
ing about forty thousand acres, but
only about one-fourth of that amount
will be subject to entry
Alternate sections of this land were
given to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad about forty years ago, and
these sections have long since been
disposed of by the company. The
Santa Fe grant was therefore half OF
the entire body and probably half OF

A Plant That Coughs.

There is the authority of a French
bota11st for the statement that Ger
tain plant in various tropical regions
actually possesses the power to cough
In the most approved manner The
fruit Of this plant resembles the com
mon bread bean. 1t appears that the
coughing plant is something Of a
crank; that it easily works itself into
rage, and that it has curious hor-
ror of all dust. AS soon as a few
grains Of dust are deposited on its
leaves the air chambers that cover
their faces and are the respiratory
organs of the plant, become filed with
gas swell and end BY driving out the
gas with a slight explosion and
sound that resembles 50 much the
cough Of child suffering from cold
as to*carry most uncanny sensation
to the one beholding the phenomenon.

Sure to be appreciated by the busy
woman is the automatic clothesl1ne
reel patented by a Connecticut man.
When the clothes are down all that
need be done is release the line from
the posts and it will wind itself up in
a few moments. The reel Is made on
the principle OF the spring tape meas
ure, and, of course, is operated by a
spring The line is wound on circu-
lar metal support with a hinged con-
nection by which it can readily be at
tached to wall or any upright, and it
swings to left and right of this. The
line feeds out over guide and has
ring at the free end to prevent it's be-
ing wound up too much. By releasing
the spring the line can be paid out as
necessary to fasten it around the posts
BY setting the spring the wheel will
reyolye and wind the line up.

The eyes also complained that they
We're compelled to do the seeing for

tinued, each part Of the body complain
ing that it was compelled to serve all
the other parts. They decided then
that each should serve only himself
Then what happened? When the feet
refused to walk, the hands to work.
the mouth to eat and the eyes to see.
SO began the body to anguish in all
its parts and by degrees to die away.
When the parts saw the result Of
their refusing to serve each other they
met and agreed nes er to be discontent-
ed again. Now each part serves the
others and all have become as lively

limited Convention.

There Il throughout the State, as
indicated by the press, some deelu-
edIy divergent views on the pro-
nosrd limitation Of the authority q

The main purpose Of the conVen-
lion is TO provide the means for the
liquidation Of The State debt, aggre-
eating sil 100000, due on January
/, 1914.

TO he enacted and adopted by ma
ioritv Of the General Assembly the
function.of Ills convention may be
prescribed definitely.
Tt is being suggested that the au-
thority OF the convention be clr-
clmscribe,e 70 the consideration Of
the refunding Of the State debt and
that the delegates be limited to
about one-third Of the membership
Of the General Assembly. AS VIC
believe that intelligent delIberatlon
is fruitful of good results and that
wisdom is developed by wise coun-
sci, opposition should be urged
against the proposed limitation Of
the delegates to one-third Of the
membership Of the Legislature.
A limited delegation would neces-
sariIy lead to an apportlonment
which would provoke dissatlstac-
ton and probably political resent
ment. From the Caucaslan.s view
the delegates to the convention
should be of the number prescribed
as the members Of the Senate and
the House Of the General Assembly
Of Louisiana. There may be, and
possibly there will be, offered more
candidates than can be elected, and
all these should be given the fullest
opportunity Of testing their popu-
larity as candidates.
As to the limitation Of action to
the subject Of relieving the State
from its financial embarrassment,
involving the refunding Of the State
debt by an issue Of serial bonds or
other practicable medium, the sug-
gestion should receive approval. In
the action for the refunding Of the
State debt factionalism should be
laid aside and the spirit Of harmony
should dominate the convention.
