every agricultural state the conditions
are the same. / would like to see the
bill amended so as 10 make $10O,000,-
aC this time is to help the Nation.
Make it possible for the farmer to fl
nance his business, and a forward
step will be taken toward the normal
conditions that are so much desired.
BY legislation the railroads were
given about billion dollars to make
good their so-called losses. We appro-
pirate almost a billion yearly to the
army and navy for national defense.
And yet when it comes to legislation
that seeks to bring about conditions
coming into his own, some begin to
hesitate and to say that the legisla-
tion is class legislation. In a great
country like ours, where we have
many and manifold industries, if the
Congress functions as it should, we
must enact laws primarily affecting
distinct interest. We must legislate
for the banks, railroads, waterways,
farmers and so forth, because there
are conditions that affect only GER
tain interests, and we must meet by
legislation certain emergencies when
they arise. There is an emergency now
existing, as has been repeatedly point
ed out on the floor of this House
which affects the farming interests,
and 1t must be met by proper legis-
lation or we may expect disastrous
consequence"

this afternoon in Guys pond near

the water and swan about so feet
and was coming back. When he
got within about Is feet OF the bath
house he screamed for help. which
was quickly forthcoming, but his
helper could do nothing for him and
he was nearly drowned in the effort
to save him. Mr.. Dunlap was highly
esteemed throughout Chester and
York counties and his death has
caused profound sorrow. He was a
son of Thomas Dunlap. prominent

ASK STADIUM TOO
Aggie Alumni Association of
Aggie to Decide.
Campaign for Funds May Be
Started Soon.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 16.-Because
OF the insistent demand made by a
large number of alumni that the Kan
sas state Agricultural college inaugu-
rate a campaign for a new athletic
stadium this school year. the question
is to be submitted to the individual
members of the alumni association.
elf Stratton, alumni secretary, will
lay the situation before members of
the alumni asso citation and leave them
TO make the decision.
Opinion as to the advisability of be-
ginning a stadium movement at this
time is divided in Manhattan. While
the need for improvement both of the
Held and of the seating arrangements
Is generally accepted to be so great
as to handicap progress for Aggle
athletics it is seriously doubted by
large conservative group that it would
be good policy to make drive for
funds until economic conditions over
the state are improved. Another
group urges that the need is so great
as to overcome this objection.
The maximum seating capacity, with
the area between the stands and the
sfIeIines crowded with chairs, is $500.
As many as six to seven thousand
spectators have attended important
contests here. The annual K. Z. game
here last year attracted probably the
largest crowd in the history of local
college athletics. Authorities were un-
able to state accurately the number
present because the gates were rushed
BY group of overzeaIous students, adj
hitting from 500 to 1000 not account
ed for in gate receipts. But more than
5000 paid admissions were counted.
More than half of those present,
therefore. had no seats.
There is a middle group, too, sug-
costing that a campaign for only part
of a stadium fund be started. Mem
bers of this group say that it would
be much better to have one or two sec
lions of the stadium completed and
the field improved this year, going
ahead with the project at some later
date. when normally has completely
arrived, than to lay down on the job
for another year.
