TWO GRAND ARCHES.
To be Built Over Kansas Avenue Be
ing Discussed by the Topeka Club.

The directors Of the Topeka club did
not meet Saturday evening to hear the
report of the committee appointed at
the meeting two weeks ago to solicit
funds from the club members for the
Fail Festival fund, because the COM
mittee Will not be ready to report for
another week.
The committee was Eugene Hagan,
DR.. GuibOr. George w. Crane, c. S. Sut-
ton and Arthur Capper
The cash has been coming in rapidly
and the committee has in its hands al
most 5000 for use towards making the
festival a great success.
In great many of the instances
when money was asked of members by
the committeeman the reply would be:
Why. certainly; here's my check for
$15 and if you need any more, call
again.
It is this spirit that assures success
for the Topeka club part of the festi-
val
It is Col. A. S. Johnson's idea, and it
is shared largely by other club mem
bers, that monster arch highly decor
ated and Illuminated be erected on
Kansas avenue for the professions to
march under and that perhaps two of
these archs would be a good thing.
It is estimated roughly that this fea-
ture would take $500 of the money.
Member of the club have further
suggested that as it falls to the lot of
the Topeka club, and it has offered to
accept the responsibility, of entertain
ing the distinguished guests Topeka
viii have, that 500 or more be appro-
priated for the purpose.
This will still leave a neat little sum
in the committees hands for Fail Fes-
tival uses.
With the exception of an occasional
charity this is the first time the Topeka
club has ever broken away from its es-
tablished rule Of refusing to aid outside
projects.
The exception was well chosen.
