'LIFE' CENSORS CONTEST
However, Wattles Upholds Advisability of Kansas Poetry Competition
"Is it right to encourage Kansas people to write more poetry than they are writing at present?" asks "Life" in a comment on the fifty dollar prize offered by Willard Wattles for the best Kansas poem.
"Life" points out that up to this time Kanna has kept more or less pure from the "commercializing influences of the present generation", and it suggests that the "nine or ten tuses of Kansas" go on a strike against the idea of Mr. Wattles that they write for money.
Mr. Wattles said today that "No state, except possibly California, has as large or as valuable a collection of poems as Kansas has in 'Sunflower' or perhaps the collection should be the pride of all Kansas. Furthermore, if the poems of Kansas would write more of the meadow lark instead of the nightingale, of the waving wheat fields in which such a collection would be effected.

"It may be truly," continued Mr. Wattles, "more people are trying to write poetry in Kansas than any place else except possibly Japan but it is also true that some have succeeded, for instance: Either M. Clark, Adgar Leer M., Dickerson, Malgorzat William, William Allen White, C. L. Edson, Hank Kemp, Eugene Ware, John J. Ingalls and William Herbert Carruth."
Walter Wood, pharmacy '20, has returned from Alton, IL, where he went to take charge of a chain of drug stores operating out of that city. His position in Alton will be held open until the end of the school year.
