Agricultural College Furnishes Judges
in Kansas Town Exhibitions.

Manhattan. Kan, Oct. 25.-The
agricultural fair is becoming an i'm
portant annual event in many Kansas
towns. That these fairs are for the
farmers rather than the fakirs is evil
denced by the increasing number of
requests for competent judges received
by the extension division of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
This fall the Agricultural college,
thru the divisions of college extension
and agriculture, furnished Judges for
slXty-three fairs and festivals, many
of which required three persons to
complete the work and satisfa ctorily
place the awards. In all 173 days were
spent by college people in judging at
fairs in September and the fore part
of October.
The departments of farm products
and live stock were popular attrac-
tons. AT every fair domestic science
and art also made a good showing
1Wenty-four of the sixty-three towns

prisoners made their escape from

Alexander Whaley, boys awaiting
sentence to the House of Reform
(the first two for house breaking
and the last named for shooting
and wounding and Henry Williams,

probably former prisoner, who
knew where the jailer kept the keys,
must have let them out, as they
undoubtedly came out the front

local police have telephoned neigh
boring cities and it is thought they
will soon be rounded up.
