Mammoth Crowd.
A mamoth, motley, cosmopolitan
crowd succumbed to the attractions of
the big fair Tuesday night. Twenty
cars, jitney buses, food and drink
vendors and nickel shows did a thriv-
ing business. The live stock was the
most popular of all. The laughing
pleasure-seeking multitudes cheerfully
parted with pennies, nickels, dimes, to
the man who trilled his RS. They got
their moneys worth.
Come on ovah and get a real cool
refreshing drink, come on!" Dozens
obeyed the command.
Don't forget you get something all
the time-no blanks" Countless per-
sons took this chance that wasn't

Draft Horse Display.
The largest number of draft horses
| ever shown in Kansas is to be seen at
the big free fair, declares DIR. C. w
! McCampbell of Manhattan, superin-
! tendent of the horse department. The
same is true of light horses. Old
timer show attendants say the quail
ity has never been equaled in the state.
THE thing We're most pleased
about is that the draft horse show is
McCampbell. THE eastern shows are
sometimes more brilliant and spectac-
ular but very largely dealers. The
situation emphasizes the fact that
many Kansas farmers successfully
raise fine horses as a side-line."

Chief of Bureau of Information
Was in Topeka.
In Preparation for Hearing of
Federal Loan Board.
IN AN ALL-DAY SITTING
Prominent Kansans Will Act as
Topeka Witnesses.
Bank Will Stimulate Industry,
Says MIR. Wilson.

Frank r. Wilson, chief of the bu-
reau of information on rural credits,
and a committee of the Commercial
club conferred Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock. in preparation Tor nearing
to be conducted here by the federal
farm loan board next Monday, at
which time Topeka will present facts
and figures Regarding the Inanclal
needs of Kansas farmers.
The board is expected to arrive in
Topeka Sunday. Plans are under way
for the entertainment of the members
during their two days stay, with
luncheon at the Country club, autoing
and golfing.
A number of state and city leaders
will probably be asked to serve as
witnesses at the al1-day sitting in the
court house. Topeka will make its
biggest bid for a farm loan bank
The two main things to be consid-
cred, according to the boards advance
agent, in the establishment OF such
bank are the needs of the territory 1t
is proposed to serve and the instttu-
TONS accessibility by railroad and
other distributive agents.
The farm loan system is just the
opposite of the federal reserve" says
Mr.. Wilson. The reserve system was
meant to penetrate into the heart of
the mercantile interests. This is to
serve farming"
Mr.. wilson declared tndt the ne"
farm loan act is expected to prove a
boon to the farmers of the west. In
cidentally, he predicted that, by rea-
son of benefiting the farmer, it would
likewise be stimulating to every form
of commercial activity that profits
from a prosperous agricultural section.
THE object of the law said Mr..
Wilson, lis to give loans to the farm
ers for long periods at rate of inter-
est not to exceed six per cent On the
strength of information furnished at
these hearings, the board will divide
the United States into IL districts and
locate one bank in each district.
| Each bank will be capitalized al
| $750,O0O and the local community will
be given the first opportunity to buy
| it's stock. If at the end of 80 days the
stock has not been taken, the govern
ment will take it. Then the bank is
ready to lend money to farmers.

two states have more miles of road to

for roads every year as Massachusetts,
but while that state has built 5000
miles of high class reads we have built
