For the Fall Festival Posters Thi
Year-Fau Festival News

"A young laOy OF Deaut1Tul n2ure,
wearing epaulettes, a canteen AID SOL
der coat, with peoples strung about
her shoulders and holding in her hand
the cap and bells of the court jester, is
the design for the Fall Festival window
hanger which will soon be printed.
The design was submitted by Ad-
ans Bros. and adopted last night The
designer is DenZler, who has made a
reputation for artistic poster work in
Chicago, and the hanger will attract
attention.
A larger and more expensive design
was submitted by the Hall LithOgraph-
ing company, in which there was much
more detail work. It shows in effective
cOl0ring the principal features of the
Festival. An effort will be made to Sc
cure this design for a three sheet post
er to place on bill boards in the towns
over Kansas.
Another effective design for a three
sheet poster is the work of Paul Tor
rington of the city engineers office. 1t
shows a young woman wearing hat of
monster proportions and with her loose
gown being whipped by the wind In
the poster submitted by Mr.. TorriugtOn
the colors of the Fall Festival-red,
yellow and White-are used.
At the next meeting of the Commit
! tee design for bill board poster Will
I proba bly, be adopted. The committee on
printing has had the poster matter
before it for two months, but the design
adopted did not come from that COM
mittee. 1t is but three months until
Festival week and the advertising has
been sadly neglected.
The float question was discussed last
night in executive session. The COM
naittee on finance reported that the
Committee is paying more that the
floats are worth and the matter was
referred back to the committee on
finance for adjustment with the float
| makers, Dudley & Josiyn.
The firm has contract with the
Committee of Fifteen for five hoats ana
they are already almost done with the
second float.
There is no disposition to not ac-
cept the floats, but the Committee does
not want to pay more than they are
I worth The contract price is $500 each
for five floats.

% Gu ~ "a II ;rit,1e thought that there
| might be some conflict between Labor
/ day and Santa Fe day. The greater
! part of our Labor day demonstration
/ last year" said he, was made by en-
( pIoyes in the Santa Fe shops and d1vid-
/ ing the two days in this manner may
, interfere with their plans and make the
| Il am satisfied said Major Ander-
I son that this Santa F'e celebration
will be a much bigger thing than any
/ of US anticipate. There will be a rival
! ~ between the men at the division
| points that will result in one of the big
/ qest dernOnstrat iOns ever seen. What
| ever is done by the Santa Fe shop men
! in Topeka on Labor day will in no way
| conflict with the Santa Fe celebration
! They can turn out in both parades."
! Last year" said c w. kouns, AN
! effort was ma de to run the shops dur
/ ing Festival week. 1 had talk today
with one of the foremen and he said
/ that every time the men heard a band
! play they would quit work and run and
! thew had to shut down after trying to
| run for two days. This year think
/ that some formal petition will be pre-
! scented requesting permission to close
! the shops for a week. So l am Sa It's
the men turning out whenever they
care to do So
