After two days canvass for new
members for the Civic club, J. R. Spet-
ter, Fred Voi.and and E. E. Olinger,
three of the membership committee Of
seven, have turned in forty-seven APP
plications for membership. These will
be acted on at the meeting of the club
tonight. The application fee of 81 ac-
companied all If the applications. The
three have devoted considerable time
to the canvass and the others also have
been "whooping it up"
When the new members secured in
the last few days are admitted the
membership will be over 100. And the
end is not yet, for the slogan, 200
members by May ~ will be the motto.
The canvass will be continued until at
least that mum Der is secured.
For the best success in that line, Mr..
Spetter, chairman of the membership
committee, thinks that the personnel
of the organization should be changed
from time to time. His idea is that
more enthusiasm will be maintained
and that different ones who might
serve on the committee could better
influence different people to join than
if the same committee worked con-
tinuously. Mr.. Spetter also stated that
the women could join the Civic club
If they wished Following are the
names of the new members secured:

The work of crawling the first quar-
ter of mile of the lower Silver lake
road has been finished. The next strip
is being prepared for the gravel.
On account of the hardness in COM
pIeting the Central avenue bridge the
people who have to come into Topeka
via the Kansas avenue bridge and go
out of their way, are thinking of send
ing a delegation to the county COM
missionerS who have the work in
charge to inquire into the delay about
the matter. Traffic over the Central
avenue bridge has been shut off since
the first of December. However, the
work of installing the new one has
been frequently delayed by bad
weather.
At tonight's meeting of the Civic
club at fire station No. 1, the report of

son overall factory for. the North side

probably be transa cted. Two choices
will be given for the slogan out of the
100 which were sent in. The winner
will be awarded a s25 dresser trunk.
over seventy-five voices will render
an antiphonal service at the North side
