Centennial Queen Contest.


A Lafayette county girl may
be Centennial Queen at the hun
dreth anniversary ceremonies of
Missouri's admission to the Un-
ion. At least she has a fair
chance at this honor, and it is
up to the people of this county
to elect her.
During the next three weeks
a contest to select this girl who
will try for the place will be con-
Quoted through the columns of
the papers in the country. Write
out your nomination and send it
to the Intelligencer today.
On July % a ballot will be
called for and the girl receiving
the highest number of votes will
be the county's candidate. Then
the county candidate receiving
the highest number Of votes at
the Missouri State Fair this year
will be chosen the Queen. The
other candidates will become her
maids of honor. A handicap
whereby each county will be gov
erned by the total population
and the distance from the State
Fair will be enforced that the
remote county will have as much
chance as the nearest.
Every nominee for Centenni-
al Queen must be a native and
resident of Missouri. She will
have a leading part in the pag-
cant and ceremonies at the Cen
tennial celebration, and the
maids of honor will also partic-
ipate.
The Centennial celebration will
be held by the Missouri State
Poard of Agriculture in connec-
ton with the twenty-frst annu-

that Dellinger. of Baker, will win in

Expect New Distance Records.
Rogers, of Washburn, will break the

lows him in 4:44. Adriance and
Mag, of Baker, and Rogers, of OF

seconds after Hamilton
In the two-mile run. Gates of Wash
burn should break the Blue record of
1880. He won in 1928 at Haskell
this season. Hutchinson of Washburn
follows him closely, so the Ichabods
should have no trouble in taking this
event.
In the 220 low hurdles. Bell of C. of
E. and Wolgast of Ottawa are the
leaders, both having a record of rs
seconds flat. Porter of Baker stands
close second with 26.3. The Blue
has little chance in the low hurdle.
Chezem is perhaps a little the fastest
of the field.
In the pole vault, Wolgast and
Cochrane of Ottawa have the edge
with eleven feet six inches. Eleven
feet is the record of Bell, of c. of E.
Baker and Washburn have little
chance here.
The relay promises to be one of the
prettiest events. Baker has an indoor
record of 3:42 and Washburn an out
door record of $40. The College of
Emporia and Ottawa stand about the

and the event will probably be one of
the closest in the meet.
Owing to the large number of men
entered, trial heats will be run off in
the morning at 1890 o'clock. There
will be trials in the century dash to
eliminate all but six men for the finals.

times this year; with Phillips of Baker
a yard behind him; with Gage of
Washburn and his record of 1912, COM
bined with Grant of Emporia and his
somewhat disputed record of "a, the
10o-yard dash is going to bring the
spectators to their feet in wild ex-
element tomorrow. The same men
will stage another thriller in the 220.
Wolgast broke the state record of 22.2
in the 220 at the Ottawa-Baker meet
two weeks ago.
The 440 will be another close event
Cochrane holds a record of So Sec
onds flat. Larsen of Baker and Nc
Ilhenny of Washburn are right be-
hind him with 52.2, while Scott of
Emporia and Kennedy of Washburn
break the tape at SO. Cochrane prob
ably will win this race, but by inches.
Rogers vs.. WeIborn in Half.
Rogers of Washburn, with a record
of 2:05.4, will find formidable OPP

STATES TO CONFER
ON DEER HUNTING

Lansing, Mich.-A conference is
to be held between the public do
main commission. of Michigan and
the game commission of Wisconsin
relative to the matter Of deer hunt
ing in the two states the coming
season.
In the upper peninsula it is stat
ed that Wisconsin is to have a
closed season this year This is
denied by the representatives of
that state and in order to work
the matter out the conference has
been arranged.
The present tentative dates for
Michigan are Nov. 20 to 80, but
it is probable that following the
conference with Wisconsin the
dates will be fixed for from Nov.
Is to 25, and deer hunting will be
allowed in both the upper and
lower peninsulas of this state.
