MANY BLUES COMING.
G. A. r. Veterans to Gather Here
State Fair Week.

Old camp fires will be relighted, old
uniforms FURNISHED up and gun and
bayonet polished by the Kansas G. A.
R. when they come to Topeka in a
grand reunion on September 1915.
Several thousand of those who went
through the memorable period in the
sixties will be here and invitations are
being extended to every post in the
First, Third, Fourth and Fifth con-
gressional districts to pitch their tents
at Garfield park which has been set
aside for their use.
Upwards of twelve thousand out of
the tWenty-fOur thousand survivors of
the Civil war in Kansas reside in these
districts and large percentage of this
number will be present for the re-
union.
Noted speakers, old soldiers them
selves, are being obtained and among
those who probably will be present
are Samuel r. Van Sandt of Mime
sofa, commander-in-chief of the ma
tional G. A. R., Bernard Kelley and
Fred Funston. The entertainment
program has not been entirely COM
pleted.
Special attention will be paid to the
reunion by the Kansas State Fair as
Eociation which has made added pro-
vision for entertaining the old soldiers
in state fair week, September 1917.
One of the days of fair week will be
set aside for the veterans and the
gates and privileges thrown wide open
for them especially. The combination
of reunion and state fair in the same
week will mean that Topeka will en-
terrain one of the largest crowds of
visitors that has been within it's gates
In recent years.
Secretary H. l. Cook of the Kansas
State Fair association, is jubilant over
the increasing prospects of a record
breaking attendance and said in re-
gard to the reunion: ''We1l, this
clinches it. 1t is certainly great to
have all the thousands of these old
soldiers in Topeka at the same time
as fair week. This will mean one of
the largest crowds the fair association
ever has handled, for I understand
arrangements have been made by
which those attending the G. A. r.
reunion will have each afternoon to
spend at the fair grounds. the morn
ings being set aside for G. A r. af-

the old boys in blue right. All our

Community Comment.

A rainy day like today is rather
gloomy at any place, but in a small
town 1t is especially so. In these places
there is not much doing even IN the
best OF weather On q day like today
village life is excessively dull.
The dawn breaks, or rather oozes up
in a depressing, leaden hue, showing
small rivers and lakes on the unpaved
still except for the drip, drip, drip of
the rain. The customary crow of the
rcosters is muff1ed if heard at all.
BY and by people begin to get up.
A few shutters bang. and shrill femin-
inc voices are heard saying:
"Ain't this a rain for you? Did 1t
rain in on you last night? 1t did on
us and spoilt our new carpet in the
parlor."
Or perhaps: Amt it too bad! This
here rain will ruin the Sunday school
picnic what was goin' to be at Smiths
grove and the Ladies Aid lawn So
cial at the Jones' home will have to
be postponed. Amt it awfui?"
In the house the inmates are general
" cross. The wood fires won't burn
and breakfast is late. The man of the
family. who likely operates the general
store or Emporium, is grouchy at
the delay and scolds his wife and chill
dren alternately. Perhaps the woman
tries to be cheerful and says:
''Naow, paw, this rain is good for
the crops. You was Just a'sayun that
a good soaker was needed"
Needed nothun," paw replies
"You air the most contrary woman 1
ever knowed. I never said SIGH a thing.
Trade is bad enough anyway without
this kind of weather.
Down at the store the air is musty,
things go slow. BY and by a few
farmers come in in wagons, the mud
caking the wheels to the hubs. The
occupants drift into the store and he.
gin business by saying: We'll, this is
a powerful spell Of wet weather. 1t
does hinder farm work"
Maybe the farmer loafs the whole
morning, but usually he puts in his
time to good advantage and buys a
bill of goods. In the latter case the
''storekeeper'' becomes good-natured
and beaming. He telephones his wife

FOOTBALL STARS PLAY
90 GAME IN NASHVILLE
AL Harvard Laws Unable to
Count Against Southern
ALI Stars.

Nashville. Tenn. Dec. 31.-On a field
slippery and treaeherous, the football
game yesterday afternoon between the
Vanderbilt-Suw and Michigan COM
bination and the Harvard All Stars
from Harvard law school. resulted in a
scoreless tie.
The game was hard fought. Two
thousand witnessed the melee, which
was largely punting battle. as Meth
er squad could gain consistently.
The Commodore Purple Wolverine
was badly handicapped by ground con-
ditions, and Brown and Nelly, their
fastest men, had no chance for end
runs.
Brown on the defense, however, twice
caught men from behind when a miss
at least on one occasion. would have
resulted in touchdown. Near the
close of the first quarter Browne fell
while trying for punt. mis- sing the
ball entirely. Captain Fish gathered
it in and started for the goal line, but
was intercepted by the little Suwanes
quarter on the twelve yard line.
This was the nearest approach to 9
touchdown during the game. Both side.
tried for a field goal and failed. DaI
McGuin played most of the game ane
showed that he was something of {
punter, driving one ball for clear
ffty-five yards.
