sided, and presented diplomas to the Hon. George T. Anthony was the prince-
As soon as commencement exercises were over the Grand Hall was cleared and five long tables spread by the women of the town, who had brought everything "from iceed tea to ice cream." Governor Robinson was toastmaster and more than a dozen toasts were responded to by such persons as Judge Emery of the board of regents, W. C. Tenney, also a regent; Bishop T. A. Vail of the Episcopal church; the Rev. A. Beatty; L. D. L. Tosh for the alumni; Mrs. Helen E. Starrett; P. J. Williams of Leavenworth; Mrs. Cora M. Dows, grandmother of a present member of the KU faculty; Adjantant Baird of Fort Leavenworth; Judge Bassett; and Noble L. Prentiss.
Judge Emery's toast was "The State of Kansas, devoted to freedom and that which makes freedom possible—free education."
Another of the toasts was one, "Our younger colleges—westward the star of empire takes its way," by A. G. Otis, a graduate of the University of Michigan. Adjunct Baird's toast had a modern ring — "Our Army-most successful when its efficiency precludes the necessity for its use."
The pulpit, the bar, and the press, were toasted in turn, the reaper skipping quickly over two of the nails to detail the remnants of Editor Prentiss.
"Some barbarisms still exist in the press," said Mr. Prestiss. "From the Bugle we learn that the father of the editor of the Banner was a horse thief; while the next day the editor of the newspaper was a slave, the presence of the editor of the Bugle is due to the fact that he once wore a ball and chain."
"While all is not as it should be, yet the press is moving forward."

You've heard all this before.
10 years ago the clothing industry had some darn clever ad writers and so did the automobile folks.
But you know that the clothes and cars of 1924 couldn't compare with this year's products.
When you come here for your Spring suits, you'll see style improvement you never dreamed of. . . marvelous things have happened in men's suits.
It's just a shame that everything that can be said about these wonderful garments has been said before.
