talk of the town. during the last week
of the exposition. There is nothing ex-
actly like their performance before the
public at the present time, and wher-
ever they have appeared their PERFORM
ance has been greeted by round after
round of applause.
The Midwinter poster will be placed
In the local store windows the first of
the week. It is 12x15 inches in size,
and bears the head of a Colonial dame
drawn by Albert T. Reid, who took as
his model popular Topeka society
woman. 1t goes without saying that
the result is excellent, and the poster
is one that will attract the eve.
Posters will be placed in the store
windows of all the outlying towns by
the members of the u. L. c. organiza-

Superintendent L. D. Whittemore, in
referring to the annual report of the
board of education, which Will cover
a period of twenty years. No report
has been published locally of an an
nual nature for twenty years. and the

worthy nature would have to be con-
tracted for in order to draw the peo-
pie.
