HOLD MEET LATER
State Teachers Convention
Postponed to Nov. 2S, 20, 80.
Action Taken Recommendation
State Board of Health.

The four conventions of the Kansas
teachers have been postponed until
November %. % and 80. The board
of directors of the association met in
a special session today and ordered
the postponement from November T.
s and 9. This action was taken at the
recommendation of the state board of
health and the later dates fixed are
only tentative and will not be finally
settled until the influenza epidemic is
controlled.
The conventions were to be held in
Topeka, Salina, Wichita and Pittsburg
This is the first year the scheme of
holding four meetings instead of one
was to be tried. The same list of
speakers were to appear at all four of
the conventions and the same pro-
grams were to be followed as closely
as possible.
The closing of the schools for two
weeks and even longer in some sec
tions was one cause of the postpone
ment. 1t was felt to be impracticable
for the teachers to ask for two addf-
tional days vacation following the two
weeks enforced vacation. The new
date comes on Thanksgiving. Usually
the Friday following is a holiday and
saturday is always a school holiday so
that the teachers would not necessar-
lily miss a single regular day of school
on these three days
There was some talk of abandoning
the meetings altogether this year but
the directors decided that the conyen-
tons would be held, even if necessary
to have them during the holiday sea-
son, as was the system for many years.
Hold Big Talent.
Secretary Pinet stated after the
meeting today that out of the seven
teen or eighteen speakers and feat
ures of the convention all but two or
three would be held for the conven-
ton later in the month. Ambassador
Gerard and Doctor Hills are among
those who will be here.
.There is a chance that the change

Mr.. Pinet said today. But 1 look for

meetings and will be prepared to ac-

WANT $3.50 WHEAT
Wheae Growers Say Then Profits Are
Not Sufficient

Washington, Oct. 23-The Nation
al Wheat Growers association, in its
appeal to President Wilson for $3.50
wheat, contends that even this price
VIII not permit the wheat growers
to reap the profit now being made
by the growers of corn and cotton.
In its brief to the president, the
association declares that ION the
basis of the ratio of the price fix
lures between crops the price of whea1
would be over SO, as the pre-war
price of cotton was about II cents
and is now 35 to 40 cents a pound.
Corn also brings nearly three times
the pre-war prices"
The growers also maintain that
the increase in the price asked for
wheat Is not as much proportionately
as the increases in the wages that
most labor is receiving over pre- war
wages"
In fixing the price at s2.46, the
association points out that the presi-
dent would only be adopting "the
recommendation of the agricultural
advisory committee selected by the
Secretary of Agriculture Houston. and
Food Director Hoover"

At the same time II may be stated
that not all of the drawings reach
the top level OF success. Not all Of the
water colors exhibit show the sarnc
concentration Of purpose, due no
doubt, to the fact that all artists
found II difficult to concentrate last
summer. Mr.. Demuth, in short. will
hold the considerable place he has
gained among the younger artists Of
the day, but will not advance It much
by the present exhibition.
He had included In the show a few
more water colors the subjects OF
which have been drawn from litera-
ture. He has added to his series Of
drawings for the Henry James's story,
THE Turn Of the Screw" and also has
painted The Masque Of the Red
DEATH" from the story by Poe. This
last water color Is vivid. almost livid,
with color. 1t Is an interesting
achievement.
