The original program for the day was held with the exception of the talks to have been made by H. G. Moore of Kansas City and Wheeler Sammons of Chicago. Both of these men sent telegrams that they were ill and could not attend. Mr. Sammons said that he had sent his paper but it has not received. The talk in which Mr. E. R. Moses was also a departure from the original program as Mr. Moses was scheduled to speak today. Mr. Moses, who has a reputation for training clerks, told of his methods.
Two hundred and sixty-six merchants are registered for Merchants' Week and 250 of the number are from any place in Kansas except Lawrence, Prof. D. C. Croissant, director of the extension division, is jubilant. The attendance, the range of localities represented, and the enthusiasm have exceeded his expectations for the innovation.
The smaker came as a fitting finale for a day which was highly successful from the points of view of both the managers and the visitors. The speakers had prepared charts, statistics, and form blanks to aid the small merchants and help them to know more accurately their profits, turnover and tax liabilities frankly admitted that they learned in a few hours, more about keeping their accounts than years of experience had taught them.
M. E. Garrison, of Wichita, also made one of the hits on the conven- tion on hires on crews.
Following him, as the second speaker of the morning, J. C. Walker of the educational department of the Burroughs Adding Machine company, gave a talk on "Store Records" and demonstrated his points by sample blanks which he passed out among the merchants.
Kansas Editors to Speak in Lawrence Churches Sunday
A smoker at the Fraternal Aid Hall last night concluded the second day of Merchants' Week. The smoker was given by the Merchants' Association of Lawrence for the men attending the short courses.
The last number of the day was the paper by George D. Wolf on "Store Accounts," read by Mr. Schreffler.
The program for today started off in fine style with a snappy, clear, and epigrammatic design, followed by a long relationship. Following chapel Prof. E. F. Stimpson made a short talk on "Weights and Measures," and Mr. Pilkington finished up the morning with his aid to the student in the Distribution of Merchandise."
The smoker in the evening was attended by most of the merchants and for three hours they had a general good time. Grape juice and cigars were served and a short talk by W. J. Pilkington on "Why You Are What You Are" livened up the evening.
Robert B. Schreffer, of the Dry Goods Reporter, of Chicago, made the last talk of the morning, emphasizing the desirability of departing to a store and presenting ofient methods of arranging the departments.
This afternoon's program will end Merchants' Week. The speakers are Henry S. Bunting, H. L. Drake, W. G. Howse, and G. H. Forsce.
The afternoon program was opened by C. E. Vandel, of Kansas City, who gave a detailed history of credit and analysed it. Mr. Orear, of Kansas City, made a decided hit with his own experience. Mr. Orear analysed the causes of failures and emphasized the importance of training for business men.

A small glimpse of the student body of the University was given to the Kansas business men attending the short course for merchants now in session at the University, ir chanel this morning.
W. J. Pilkington, editor of the Merchants' Trade Journal, of Dee Moines, Iowa, made a fifteen minute informal talk to the students and merchants. His address was devoted to a rambling defense of what is known as the "goody goody" type of an individual.
