Chamber OF Commerce Pledges
$500 to County Bureau.
Election of Executive Board in
Progress Today.

Action of the Chamber of Commerce
in pledging $500 to the farmers of
Shawnee county insures the creation
of Shawnee county farm bureau
With the assurance OF the $500 from
the Chamber of Commerce, farmers
from all townships in the county as
sembled this afternoon at the club
rooms to elect vice presidents of the
bureau. These vice presidents form
the executive board and a vice presi-
dent is elected from every township
in the county.
Officers of the bureau were elected
at meeting held two weeks ago.
Scott Kelsey is president of the bu-
reau. L. H. Neiswander, vice presi-
dent. and H. H. Wallace, secretary
and treasurer. Mr.. Wallace stated
that it was hardly probable a farm
agent would be appointed today by
the executive board as the board
probably would wish to consult with
Edward johnson, dean of the extern
sion department of the state agricul-
tural college at Manhattan. The
headquarters of the agent will be in
Topeka.
Money for the support of the bureau
is supplied by the county commission
ers and the state agricultural college
and the business men of Topeka. The
the first year The $500 requested
will be used III organizing the bureau
Most of the $500 will be volunteered
by Shawnee county banks. w. H
Davis, c. B. Merriam and a represen-
tative of each bank in the city form
a committee which will collect the

Rev. II. d. Fisher, one of the earliest
Prohibition leaders in Kansas.

1t was in this building that the first
suggestion that prohibition be made
state issue, was made. The ST gees
ton was introduced in the form
of a resolution from the temperance
committee of the Kansas conference
of the Methodist church by Rev. H. D.
Fisher, who was then pastor of the
Leavenworth Methodist church His
motion was at first voted down and
after reconsideration it was passed
and the united churches of Kansas were
solicited in fighting the liquor traffic.
The old church was torn down last
year when the property was purchased
by the Lysle Milling company. A pub
lie park has been made out of the
old grounds.
Rev. H. B. Fisher carried on a trem-
endous fight thru the newspapers and
in 1865 received the sanction of Kan
sas conference of the Methodist
church His eldest son, John w. Fish
er, is a resident of Topeka. The faith
er of the Prohibition move in Kan
sas died twelve years ago.
