Exhibits Attract Attention.
The exhibits this year are probably
attracting more attention than they

time the buildings open at 9 o'clock in
the morning until they close late at
night. The livestock pavilions, Agri-
/ cultural hall, Motor hall, the Women's
| building and the Government building
alike are attracting much attention
and favorable comment. The shows
and concessions are all doing big busi-
ness and it seems as If the fair is

ment what the rain early in the week
/ has caused it to lack in attendance.
J. Today is women's day and health

women was to be held this afternoon
in the Peoples pavilion and another
at 1880 o'clock this evening. Mother
and Daughter Canning club demon
strations were held this morning. Cho

ONE OF BIGGEST MEN IN WORK

A complete reorga ganization of the
Topeka Boy Scouts, involving many
plans for their instruction, and the
employment of a first class Boy Scout
executive, is under way in Topeka.
An executive committee has been
named and consists of: J. R. Bur
row, jr., president, and C. c..
Wheeler James Mullen, L. C. Rain,
Major James B. Going, Chester Wood
ward, Dr.. F. H. Scholle, Ray Latner.
c. w. Seeley, J. F. Greist, P. F.
Schilling. Bennett Wheeler, H. B.
Fink, w. r. Kircher and Frank Ed
son.
John B. Floyd. who has been scout
executive at Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, for the last few years. has been
employed to succeed the Rev. J. F.
Fazel and is in the city ready to begin
his work.
One of Biggest Men in Scout Work.
1--WE have employed one of the big
gest men in scout work" said Burrow
this morning. when we finally de-
cided to take over the scout situation,
following the resignation of the Rev.
Fazel, we decided that the best man
in the country was none too good for
Topeka's boys. We sent out feelers
all over the country for a man who
would consent to come to Topeka and
take complete charge of the scout
situation. Our investigation went in
every direction. Finally after re-
ceiving letters from men prominent in
scout circles, we decided on Floyd.
He was recommended time. and again
as the most efficient scout executive
in the south. At the time he was hav-
ing splendid success at Charlotte. N.
c. We then wrote to Walter Johns
ton in Washington, D. c.. and he went
to Charlotte to investigate the matter.
The glowing report he sent us was
enough. We entered into negotia-
tions with Floyd and, in order to in
terest him in coming, we made his
salary $4,000 a year. We felt that
even tho that was a high figure it
was necessary to get as good a man."

Floyd has been in Topeka since
Wednesday evening. He is a resident
of Louisville, Ky, is twenty-six years
old and is married. During, the war
he won a commission in the field ar
tillery as second lieutenant.
Il am confident that Topeka has a
wonderful field for scout work" said
Floyd in an interview this morning
