THANKS, MISTER FLORA!
Weather Bureau Made Conditions
to Order for Great Free Fair in
Topeka This Week.

The biggest Free Fair in history
owes a lot to. the weather bureau
this year for its unqualified success
of course the weather bureau didn't
make the weather to order, but the
unprecedented crowds came because
they had confidence in the predictions
of good weather and good roads.
Last Saturday The State Journal
carried the forecast for the week, stat
ing that after local rains and high
temperatures the latter part of the
week would be fair and cooler. The
rains came promptly Sunday night
and Monday morning with regular
Palm Beach temperatures until after
Wednesday, when the cool weather ar
rived on schedule time and fall styles
predominated at the race tracks.
Every morning, beginning with the
II o'clock edition. The State Journal
printed the official forecast for fine
weather the next day and report
showing weather and road conditions
over the state. Finally the forecasts
even went further and assured The
State Journal readers of absolutely
ideal conditions in prospect, which in
,duced thousands of stay -at-homes
over the state to get out their gas
buggies and start for Topeka. This
was proved by the innumerable auto
mobile pennants the last half of the
week at the Fair grounds which bore
names of towns from all over Kansas
and adjoining states.

mented on its wor,z this week.

Old Fight Prcscnt-Kennedy Back to
WashbUrn in Few Days.

Washburn's first football scrimmage,
held Thursday. showed up well for the
Blue. The old fight was present and
several new men surprised the coaches
and the onlOokers. a large crowd of
students were present to watch the
first practice of the season.
Coach Dwight Ream received a wire
from Charles Kennedy. of Mankato,
last years varsity tackle. saying:
Got your wire, be there Monday
morning; rearing to CO.
The wire cheered up the team, for
Kennedy is terrible fighter. Bill Rog-
ers, last years right end, was on the
field last night, playing his Odd posi-
ton, and showing the same speed and
fighting qualities of last year. Two
touchdowns were made by. the scrubs.
Raymond Richie, playing end, got the
ball from the varsity on couple of
fumbles and ran SO and 40 yards for
the two scrub touchdowns. Richie is
showing up in great shape this gear,
altho he did not make his letter last
year.
Dale Sharp. who played with Wash
burn high school last year. is showing
up well as is also Bentley, another
first year man, playing at left half. Sol
Butler, dimfnutive negro. who weighs
in at about 100 in football toys, was
doing some fast work at right end for
the scrubs. and Harold Edgel, first
year man playing quarterback for the
scrubs, held his own with Marvin
Stevens, captain of the varsity. at the
same position. The team will hold no
practice this afternoon.
Don't want the men to go stale
from too much work." said Coach
Ream.
