BIBLE CLASS WORK
Mrs. c. F. Menninger to Meet Students
Tuesday at Y. W. c. A.

Altho war conditions have brought
an increased demand on every worn-
ans time, Mrs. c. F. Menninger is
planning to continue her Bible classes
as usual this fall, and has issued this
statement to all women who are in
terested in the project:
1T is almost time for the regular
opening of the Bible study classes"
said Mrs Menninger, and it seems
advisable to hold a preparatory meet
ing before enrolment day. With this
in mind, 1 want to invite every woman
who is interested in beginning or going
ahead with her study of the Bible this
winter to meet me at the Y w. c. A.
on next Tuesday afternoon, Septem-
Der IL, at 2:30 o'clock.
Il am aware that demands ON every
ones time are greater than ever be-
fore, and 1 realize that every patriotic
woman desires to give as much spare
! time as possible to war work But
nevertheless, l believe that the need
for the Bible class is greater than. ever
before, because of the inspiration and
help which it gives for all other &C
/ tivities. There should be large class
this year to begin with Genesis. the
/ first of the Bible. / suggest that those
! interested meet with me promptly at
1880 next Tuesday to formulate our
/ plans"

Exhibits Second Floor of State
House Next Week.
STATES FAMOUS PICTURES
Display VIII Be Forwarded to
Other Cities.
Big Reception by Topeka Art
Guild Saturday Evening.

topeka artists and art lovers are
looking forward with much interest to
the first annual exhibition of the KAN
sas Federation of Art, to be held on
tne second floor of the state house
rotunda from Monday, September 10
TO saturday, September Is, inclusive
1t was stated that this exhibition
was to be part of the Free State fair,
out that was an error, as the state
fair art exhibit will be held as usual
at the fair grounds The Kansas Fed
Grafton of Art decided that the best
time to hold its first exhibition in To-
peka, would be while the city was
filled with visitors to the fir, and the
state house was chosen because of its
central location, and also because the
rotunda is a very good place in which
to show pictures.
William A. aGriffith, of Lawrence,
president of the federation, and Geo.
NJ. Stone, its secretary, sent circulars
to artists in all parts of Kansas, re-
questing them to contribute some of
their best work to a collection to be
sent about the state to towns in which
chapters of the federation have been
formed.
Receive Quick Response.
This request met with a ready re-
Spouse, and many works, some of
them of great merit and beauty, have
arrived AT Sullivan's art store. on West
Eighth avenue, which was designated
as a receiving place for pictures. 1t
Will come as a surprise to many people
to see what a considerable number of
talented artists this state possesses.
Among those who have contributed
especially noteworthy pictures are
eBrger Sandzen of Lindsborg, Geo
NJ. Stone, Fern I. Coppedge, and
Clarisse Laurent of Topeka; VIM. A.
Griffith of Lawrence; John f. Jen-
kins, N. L. Davidson and c. A. Seward
of Wichita, and Rev. Carl w. Nau of
Emporia
Mr.. Nau's picture, which is a relig-
ious subject, was reproduced, and
published in the Living Church, a pa
per of national reputation.
Represents States Best
All work sent with right of re-
lection by a judging committee ap-
pointed to pass on the merits of all
contributions. so the exhibition will
represent the best Kansas has to offer
in the line of original work
saturday evening the Topeka Art
Guild, which is the local chapter of
the federation, will give a reception
and private view to members Of the
guild and their invited friends
In addition to this exhibition of
Kansas artists. the Kansas Federation
of Art contemplates securing exhibits
from other states, also lecturers on
art. These will be sent in turn to
the various towns having local chap
ters. Those places in which local
hapters have been formed are To-
peka, Emporia, Manhattan, Pitts
burg and Mcpherson.
