HENDRIX SEEKS 10
 ACCEPT MINUTES
TO INCREASE ENDOWMENT
BOARD OF TRUSTEES SUBMIT PLAN THROUGH TREASUR-
 FER HUBBELL.

The following communication from Treasurer w. B. Hubbell of Hendrix College appears in the Western Meth odist of this week:
 At the last regular meeting of the board of trustees of Hendrix College a resolution was adopted which autho- rized the authorities of the college to issue annuity bonds and to accept an- nuities, and further set aside S2,000 of the annual income of the college with which to pay the interest an any annuities accepted.
 The college is just now prepared on account of its endowment to offer such an opportunity to those who desire to help in the great cause of Christian education. It is a great step forward and promises in a short time to be of much worth to this institution. The annuity plan is simply this: If a good man has accumulated money which he desires to leave to the col lege at his death, but which he must use for his maintenance while living, he can invest his means at once in Hendrix College by procuring it's an nuity bonds These bonds bear per cent interest, payable semi annually during his natural life. They become void at his natural death and the money which he has invested in the bonds goes at once to the college. If one so desires, he may specify what department of the college he desires to leave his money to. Such an in- college has an endowment which will produce many times as much income annually as that required to pay the interest on the limited number of bonds issued.
 Six per cent semi-annual interest will produce more income invested in this way than ordinarily invested at s or even 10 per cent, because, invested with the college, it will be productive every day in the year and will not be subject to loss or taxation. At the same time, such an investment will be of advantage to the college, as we can handle money in large quantities on longtime loans at a good rate of in- terest. Again, such an investment in sures to one who desires to help the college that his means will not be used up on account of inefficiency in old age to take care of his business interests, and that the principal at his death will be left to further Chris tian education. So those in Arkansas who are interested in such an invest ment and who desire to promote Christian culture among the young men and young women of Arkansas can do so by investing their means in the Hendrix College annuity bonds. I will be glad to communicate with any one who is interested in such an in vestment. I am, very truly,

 Business Manager and Treasurer.

VOTE OF PEOPLE.
Fair Managers Would Thus
Check Fair Proposition.
So Decide in Convention and
Ask Legislature to Act.

The Kansas Assoc iation of County
and District Fair Managers in session
at the National hotel late Tuesday
passed d resolution STIMULATING that
the Kansas legislature be urged at the
coming session to establish state
wide fair the location to be determined
by a popular vote of the people. The
resolution was presented by Fred Rob
ertson, president of the Rawlins Coun-
ty Fair association, and who was elect
ed president of the Kansas Association
of County and District Fair Mana gers
at the closing session.
when once you have established a
state fair you can look upon it as the
best investment that you have ever
made said w. L. Nelson, assistant
secretary of the Missouri state board
of agriculture.
IF there is n state in this country
of ours that ought to have a state fair
it is Kansas" said II. L. Cook, secre-
tary of the Kansas state fair. eff We
can build the largest fair in the United
States. then we have turned the at
tention of the people of the nation to-
wards Kansas. Good county fairs are
just what will make this big fair
The reason that we have not had
a state fair is because there has been
too much jealousy; the only thing is
to throw the location in ring and let
the people decide the question: This
was the statement of Ed Blair of
Spring Hill, johnson county. such a
fair is bigger than any town" he con-
timed. politicians are afraid to take
stand: put it before the pople.''
DR.. c. w. McCampbell of the State
Agricultural college told the members
of the association that push, pluck,
and the pocketbook are the elements
necessary to make a successful fair.
"Any fair that is a success must have
behind it a bunch of pushers," he said.
Among other things he emphasized the
value of having special classes for
boys. He declared that the educational
value of every fair should be placed
as high as possible.
w. s. Corsa of Whitehall. ILL.,, one of
the foremost horse breeders of the
country, spoke briefly, urging the fair
men present to emphasize the value
of procuring a better grade of stock.
Samuel E. Lux told of how E. H.
Crosby, Frank p. MacLennan, and
himself got together and discussed the
question of reorganization of the local
fair association, and how in the course
of three years under H. L. Cook the

NO JOKE THIS Time.
Artist Carries Out Oft Repeated
Threat of Suicide.

Paris, Jan. S.-After threatening
suicide so many times that his friends
only took his threats as joke, Mar
celline Adler, a young painter of Bor-
deaux has carried out his threat in a
highly spectacular manner. When he
invited his friends to a banquet he
warned them that it would be sui
cidaI affair and that they would wit
ness his self destruction
Believing this another of his jeSts,
his circle of friends spent a merry
evening. They were Mortified when
after diner Alder produced a revolver
When he said he had no cartridges
the diners laughed, however, and one
of his friends still thinking that he
was joking furnished the ammunition
The young artist loaded the revolver,
clinked glasses with his guests and,
putting the weapon to his forehead,
killed himself.

MAY SIGN. CONTRACT.
Terms Offered Chance Alluring, He
Tells Friends.

Chicago, Jan. S-Friends of Frank L.
Chance were inclined to the opinion that
he would fix his name to contract to
become manager of the New York Ameri-
cans at a meeting today with Frank Far
rell, owner of the New York club. Mr.
Farrell appeared confident that he would
land the former peerless leader al
though he declined to state what terms
he had offered him. Reports had it that
a salary offered Chance ranged from $1S.-
coo to s25, 600 a year with 3 per cent of the
club earnings. One authority thought
that Chance also would be shareholder
in the club if he signed manager.
When Chance arrived from his ranch
in california yesterday he said he had
decided to retire from baseball for at least
a wear but after three hours talk with
Farrell the former Chicago leader said
the inducements offered for him to go to
New York were so alIuring that he might
change his mind.
