"The woman, although she had lived almost all her life on a Kansas farm, can carry on a conversation as intelligently, and in as well-spoken language as anybody I have ever met."
The speaker then related how the state had been settled; that unlike most territories, its settlers came for an ideal.
"When I think of the hardship that family has undergone," the men's adviser said. "I believe it resurgence is much more about remain so cheerful and so optimistic."
"Sometimes I wonder if the modern generation would do the same under equal circumstances."
The new Owls chose their officers by a method devised to prevent political chancery—they drew the positions out of a hat. New officers are: President, Budd Russell, c41; vice-president James Armold, c41; secretary, Ernest Klein, c41; and governor, Eric Mackey, c41; and chaplain James Meredith, c41.
