When the decoration and badge
committee finishes its work 1t is
expected that the business portion of
the city will present a very gay and
festive appearance, for the merchants

places of business, and the trolley

The Auditorium seemed to be the
logical place for holding the banquet
on Thursday, June "a. For this affair
an after dinner program will be ar
ranged including vaudeville and other
features. It is desired also to have
smoker or some other entertainment
on Wednesday evening, probably to be
held in the rooms of the Commercial
club. A committee composed of the
chairmen of the various committees,
with Mr.. Charles Adams as chairman.
was appointed to take charge of the
ARRANGEMENTS for amusing the guests.
1t is expected that a band concert
will be given Thursday evening. June

mittee expecting to make melody one
of the most attractive features of the
programe. It is hoped to have the
band furnish music throughout the
day. A committee will secure Seeing

have an opportunity to see the attrac-
tive features of our city. Another COM
rnittee will arrange for the adjourn
ment of the visitors to the baseball
park to gaze upon Topeka's speedy
team in action. In fact there seems to
be almost no end to the entertainment
that the committees will endeavor to
furnish.
It was suggested that the CONNER
cial club, and the Topeka Advertising
club likewise, be asked to assist to-

tisement to the city. Another meeting
of the committee of the whole will be
held a week from last night to COM
plete the arrangements for the coming
event. and to discuss the question of
making this association more of fac
tor in the direction of furthering the
interests of its members. 1t is thought
advisable by some of the members to
employ a capable traffic man, to safe
guard the interests of those belonging
to the organization. and at the next
meeting the opinion of the committee
of the whole will be ascertained.

ate to Make Week Success.

At a meeting of the committee of
the whole of the Topeka Jobbers'
and Manufacturers association held
last night at the Commercial club
rooms, the duties of the individual
committees were outlined by the pres
ident, Samuel E. Lux and plans dis
cussed for the second annual Kan
sas Merchants week, which will be
held this year, June 23W24 and 25.
At the first event of the kind held
July Is, 16 and IT of last year, there
were 500 present at the banquet Civ
en-, but this year it is expected that
plates will be required for at least
1000 persons.
The membership committee with
Mr.. T. A. Borman as chairman, will
endeavor to persuade every one of
the fifty members of the association
who took an active part in affairs last
year to aid the committees in MAX
ing the event a success and also put
forth an effort to get at least 25-or 81
new members into the organization.
The idea is to interest all jobbers and
manufacturers in the association
whether they be big or small, for the
small concerns are expected to grow.
The guests will come here and see
the city and be entertained and the
benefits will be derived indirectly.
Arnold as chairman is a new feature
this season, and will aid materially
in getting the arrangements in prop
er working order.
1t is proposed to advertise the affair
thoroughly not only by sending out
special invitations to jobbers and
manufacturers over the state, but to
have posters provided which will be
given to travelling representatives,
who will place them in conspicuous
places in the outside towns, and the
railways will be asked to put them
up in their stations. A button has al
ready been ordered which will read
as follows: Goodbye I'll by in To-
peka June %, "a and 25-Merchants'
Week." These will be widely distrib-
uted. Badges will be provided for
the local committees and a distinctive
badge for the guests so that they may
be easily distinguished from the
members of the local association. Ex-
tensive newspaper advertising, and
the distribution of booklets and cards
will be some of the other means of
interesting those in the outlying dis
tricts in the Merchants Week. This
work will be in charge of the adver-

DETROIT DECLINES AS
GRAIN-SHIPPING PORT

An inquiry is being made by the
Board Of Commerce into the reasons
for the decline OF Detroit as grain
shipping port. There was but one
shipment of wheat from this city by
water during the past year. that one
amounting TO $4,000 bushels, which Is
not a large cargo In these days OF
huge freighters
Sugar beets seem to be responsible
for much OF the decrease. A great
many farmers have taken to cultivat-
ing beets who formerly raised wheat.
Rye has also come In for cultivation,
and this is used locally. The local
mills also grind larger proportion OF
the state crop. absorbing most OF the
wheat that comes TO this port.
The information has been given the
Board OF Commerce by Senator j. G..
Burrows that congress Is not likely to
pass any legislation In regard to the
lincoln memorial in Washington dur
ing the remainder of this session. The
Detroit body had adopted resolutions
opposing the proposed bill TO put the
