In Work for Master's Degree in English Lelia Swarts is Studying State Bards
"Oh dewy was that morning, upon the foot of May."
And Dewey was the admiral, down in Manila Bay
and dewy were the regent's eyes,
them orbs of royal blue,
And dewy feel discouraged? I dew not think we dew!"
Whether or not this is the most widely circulated bit of verse ever produced in Kansas by a Kansan is a moot question, and Miss Lelia M. Swarts, of Winfield, who is writing her graduating thesis for a master's degree in the University of Kansas, on Kansas poetry, over this matter. But Miss Swarts is going to write a treatise on Kansas poetry.
"Eugene Ware was a lawyer. William H. Carruth was a University professor. Ellen Allerton was a farmer's wife. William Allen White and Albert Bigelow Paine are newspaper men, and he lives in the hearts of the poets of Kansas appeared. Kansas is not the home of the professional poet."
"The most striking feature about this study is the diversity and variety of professions or trades from whose perspective I saw the realities of the state," said Miss Swarts today.
By investigation in the University library and in the library of the state historical society at Topeka, Miss Swarts has found about fifty volumes of collections of Kansas verse, more than it is possible for her to read in the time she has to write her thesis.
"The first Kansas poem on record, is a heroic poem called Kansas, which I have found record of but no copy. It was written in 1855." Miss Swarts described the poem as "Oseos, the Spectre Chieftain," by Evenden Kemery. It deals with primitive life in Western territory, to the extent of 220 pages.
"And all through the years the romantic history of Kansas has inspired poets to work. Kansana have almost universally been poets. Kansana are known for our authors, authors than anyone in the state who has not studied the matter can imagine.
"And there are a great number of poets whose work is hard to classify. Kemp, Wattles, Mason, Canfield, Harger, Miss Clark, all are entitled to attention, but relatively just how much it is hard for a contemporary historian to say. Perhaps that is one of their Kansas qualities."

Investigators Are Looking for Valuable Fertilizers in Kansas Salt Mines
To save the American farmer from the oppression of the German potash monopoly, which is gradually raising the price of potassium fertilizer, and to build up a great industry in Kansas, by the development of the University of Kansas is investigating the salt mines of the state with a view to discovering workable deposits of the valuable potassium salts. Samples of rock salt from all the mines of the state, as well as salt water from deep wells is being analyzed in the field by E. E. Lyder, fellow in industrial chemistry, under the direction of Prof. W. A. Whitaker.
Although no valuable finds have as yet been made, Mr. Lyder is continuing his investigations in the hope of making a discovery that will mean more to the American farmer than an increase of hay or fruit heftility. Germany exports to the United States every year about eleven million dollars worth of potash fertilizer, and the quantity as well as the price, is growing yearly. The United States is Germany's greatest market, taking 56 per cent of the Empire's potash exports. In 2013, however, the great agricultural states will greatly augment the demand for potash fertilizer.
"The possible existence of potassi beds in the United States is so important," said Professor Whitaker. "that the government has appropriated a large sum of money to build potassi beds in the United States. Recently potash land in the west has been withdrawn from public entry. But the appropriation was not large enough to cover all the country, so only a superficial examination was made in Kansas. This thoroughly."
"Kansas has the largest salt field in the United States, and as potash is always mined in connection with salt, it is here we must look for the fertilizer. It would be possible for a workable quantity of potash to be present about the table materials being impaired. For that reason it is necessary to make careful chemical examination of all salt mined in the state.
"At its present market price, potash is worth from $30 to $40 a ton. So it is seen that the discovery of even a small quantity of it would be a tremendous thing for the salt mining industry in Kansas, as well as for the farmers of the entire country."

476 Men at the University Work Outside, Y. M. Report Shows
Registrar Geo. O. Foster has just received from the state printer some pamphlets giving a survey of the student employment for the year 1913-1918 at The University of Kansas a Boy Work His Way Through the University of Kansas?"
Statistics for the book were gathered by the University Employment Bureau, which is in the charge of the M. Y. C. M. A. The tables show that 476 men students are working and earning a total of $54,674, or $114.85 for each student. Forty-five girls are earning part of their expenses.
Two hundred and forty-five men reported the kind of work they were doing. There were forty different trades, including a mist, a chauffeur, a popcorn machine man, a carpenter, three life insurance agents, four scene shifters, a weakerman, and a telegrapher. There were also five student preachers.

NO WASHINGTON WAR ENTHUSIASM----HODDER
Professor Says That President Wilson Is Being Criticized But Supported
Not much warm enthusiasm is in the air at Washington, according to Prof. F. H. Hodder, head of the department of history at the University, who returned from the national capital yesterday. He admitted the annual session of the American Society of International Peace.
"There are two positions taken by public men generally concerning the Mexican situation," said Professor Hodder. "One side thinks the United States should have rules that would be possible for whatever occurred in Mexico; the other believes that this nation should have intervened in Mexico as it did in Cuba, and straightened out things. President Wilson's counsellor, who felt that these two positions, but most democrates are supporting him, publicly, at least.
it seems to be the general opinion that the issue of war should not have arisen over a detail of ceremony but that the loss of life and property, the danger to Americans in Mexico, and our desire to better things should have been made the official reason for our intervention.
"Things have cleared up a great deal in the past two days, however, and I think that the crisis of the situation has passed."
Professor Hodder said that the Society of International Peace discussed the Monroe Doctrine, but came to no definite conclusion on it. The Brazilian ambassador, Antonio Pimenta, President Taft, Charles Francis Adams and Secretary Bryan were speakers at the convention.
