LEND PEOPLE MONEY.
L. s. Dolman Makes an Excellent
Suggestion

The North Topeka merchants are not
in need of aid but should be given the
opportunity to borrow money at a low
rate of interest with such security as
they could give. This same thing could
be done with the aiority of property
owners of North Topeka and very lit
tie loss would result to the parties who
make the loans. There are people who
would rather lose all than accept aid
from relief committees.

things we need here and things
Ne m>Q have before the town

A i've and active progressive
union can DO almost anything II
sets out to Dc, but the first and
most important function to be
filled y such a union is that OF
looking after the welfare and the
entertainment OF the visitors to

one who feels like as
stunning ths task OF taking charge
OF visitors and showing them
around aud boosting the town
generally. In fact it is too much
For one person TO undertake.
But visitors and probable inves-
tors should be shown some court

while in our midst and the onlg
satisfactory way to do SO i b
aleans OF organization and united
effort.
Important visitors, the presi-

number, have been here recently
and there were no person or per

an introduction to our town aad
