The Woman's Kansas Day club last
wear launched a movement to procure
a suitable Kansas song The COM
mittee received a great many manu-
scripts, but there was nothing that
was exactly acceptable both from the
standpoint of music and words. This
wear a new plan is adopted. Anyone
who has a poem on Kansas that has
poetic merit and dignity and is adapt
ed to community singing, may submit
it to the committee. From the poems
sent in. the committee will choose those
that they consider the best and offer
them to musicians for the writing of
the music A small prize is offered
for the best song. The musical set
ting for the songs will be submitted
again to a committee and the best
music. best suited to the style of
Doem chosen, will be taken by the
club as its Kansas song.
According to the other arrange
ment, the author of the words OF the
song was obliged to furnish the music
also either by writing 1t hlmSeI or
getting it written to be submitted with
the verse. The committee in charge
of the ARRANGEMENT believes the new
arrangement will work out more sat
! isfactorily. Manuscript may be sent
to Mrs. c. ]. Wilson. 1880 Garfleid

| Thursday, March s, has been chosen
as Belgium Day" in Topeka. ON
! that date booths will be put in the
/ large stores, in the banks, in the state
/ house, and in other places of bust
ness all over the business district, and
Young women and girls of the city Will
preside in the booths to sell tickets for
the concert to be given Saturday eve
ming. March 10, at the city auditorium
for the benefit of a fund being col
lected for the helps of Belgian chill
dren The fund so provided will not
be used for any other form OF for
eign relief work than that of the care
of the children of Belgium. Every
one is asked to help in the work by
buying tickets, and volunteers to help
are wanted. Anyone who feels in
| clined to assist by selling tickets thru
individual efforts, may call Mr.. Phi
Eastman, who is at the head of the
ticket selling committee.
Mr.. Charles Dillon, who has beer
previously interested in Belgian Re-
lief work, will appear before the high
| school and Washburn students to en-
list their help and sympathy. He will
speak at their assemblies, and they
will be asked to establish booths fol
the sale of tickets at the schools. The
work is to be done, not thru or by any
set or clique of people. but it is ar
effort in which everyone in town may
have a part. 1t is the opportunity tt
help the Belgian children, brought tc
the doors of the people of Topeka. The
women's clubs will be asked to help
and some have already consented tt
cooperate.
Ten concerts are to be given in Kan.
sas, in as many different towns. The
expense of furnishing the concert:
will be almost nothing, as the artist
Mrs. Nina Longfellow, will make ne
charge for her programs.
To fill the auditorium for the con
cert, 1t will be necessary to sell fou1
thousand tickets. Disposing of foul
| thousand tickets is not a summer
holiday job, but with the united en-
orgies of the Topeka people who are
not afraid of effort. it ought to don,
without leaving in it's train an!
physical wrecks from overwork
