DEMONSTRATION A SUCCESS
Women's Farm Bureau Meeting
Brought Out Crowd and Good Ideas.


Despite the disagreeable weather
more than forty women attended the
open meeting OF the Shawnee county
farm bureau for women demonstra-
ton, held Friday at the court house.
Hostesses were Mrs. Julia Kiene,
home demonstration agent for Shaw
nee county; Mrs. r. C. Obrecht of
Seabrook, and Mrs. j. F. Cecil of
Route 4. Assisting hostesses were
Mrs. r. F. Laucke, Mrs. Maude Scott.
Mrs. Frank Blecha, Mrs. June Foltz,
Mrs, ID. L. Button and Mrs. Harry
Miss Frances Brown, state leader of
the home demonstration agents of the
State Agricultural college, was pres
ent and made an interesting talk on
her work. Mrs. Kiene gave a talk on
rest room for farmers wives which
1t is hoped will be established in To-
peka. Mrs. Kiene has been in Law
renee and Garnett investigating rest
rooms In those cities. A Douglas
county rest room is supported by the
Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
Garnett also has such a rest room,
Mrs. kiene said.
The demonstration was begun in the
office of the county agent, then the
rooms of County Superintendent Jor-
dan were borrowed but as more dis
pays were brought IN ana more RUM
was required. an overflow demonstra7
ton was held in the court room.
Numerous exhibits were chosen of
interest to the housewife. Samples OF
dried and evaporated fruits and veget-
ables from wholesale houses were dis
played, and samples of plain and fancy
sewing from the Agricultural college,
brought by Mrs. Kiene. proved of I'M
usual interest to the women. A prac-
teal folding ironing board that llgnt-
ened this necessary and not to De
avoided labor, steam pressure
labor and fuel savers of up-to-d date
types were exhibited, and their
processes demonstrated.
Perhaps the most interesting display
was that of the aprons. There were
dozens of them, big and little, from the
dainty tea apron to the large coVerall.
Exchanging of patterns and the copy
ing of them off the samples kept many
of the women busy for large portion
of the time.
The object of the Women's Depart
ment of the Farm Bureau is TO reach
women and girls who cannot atteho
the courses at the agricultural college
Teachers from the extension depart
ment of the college visit the county
farm bureaus and give practcal DEM
onstratioDs on every line OF farm nome
industry, bringing to them the Same
advantages that they would get at the
college. Courses in canning, preserV-
ing. cooking, sewing. dressmaklnG anu
chicken raising, all by the most ap-
proved scientific methods, are among
the things taught.

ASK DRASTIC RACE LAWS
Fill Proposed by William Mallory Pro-
vIdAs Big Penalties For Mobs.

William Mallory. 400 Van Buren
street. is at the head of a delegation
Of Topeka negroes which will ask the
legislature for drastic race laws.
Heavy penalties for participation in
mobs and fine and prison sentences
for refusal to employ negro labor are
provided in the demands.
Mallory stated today that Sen. Hugh
IT. Fisher of Shawnee county, would
he asked to introduce the race bills in
the senate. Counties where negroes
are mobbed would be bound under the
proposd laws to pay survivors $4,000.
Persons participating in mobs would
be made individually responsible and
their property held subject to confis-
cation.
Any employer or contractor who re-
fused to employ a negro because he IS
not a member of a union or because OF
his color. would be subject to a fine
of $500 to 81 900 for the first offense-
For subsequent offense, prison SEN
tence of five to ten years would be
provided.
Vocational training schools for
negroes in all first class cities are
asked under the Mallory program.
