EARLY RISING

A young college man, city bred and
raised, answered the call for harvest
hands in Kansas. Reaching the farm
house late at night he was promised
work and assigned to a room. 1t
seemed to him that he had hardly
fallen asleep when he was asked to
get UP. Dsgustedly the young man
dressed himself in the darkness, and
picking up his grip, walked down
stairs. Say, there, young feller''

Paul Werner. who lives northwest of

lamps. 1t is a good precaution for
driving at night. 1t enables him to see
the road and also gives warning to
autoists that he is on the road. An
autoist can see just as Ear ahead as
his light shows the road and beyond
that all is darkness. He is right onto
a buggy before he can see it and it is
the sensible thing to have lights on
the vehicles that are driven at night.
AS a matter of safety every buggy
should be equipped with lamps and
they should be lighted when on the
road at night.-Troy Chief.

If ignorance were bliss the world

tell the truth.
Every cloud has a silver lining. If

WELCOME. MERCHANTS.

It's a sincere welcome that is being
extended today by the business men
and all other citizens OF Topeka to
their guests-the merchants from
other sections of the state-who are
gathering here in such large numbers
The good will of the merchants of
Kansas means much to the people of
this city and they are glad that the
opportunity has rolled around again
when they can attest in some slight
fashion to their appreciation. of the
many favors which the merchants of
the Sunfiower state have shown them.
A city of any size only grows and
develops in proportion to the business
it is able to transact with the ner-
chants in the smaller localities in the
territory which Immediately surrounds
it. The ever-increasing development
of Topeka as a manufacturing center
and as a ade-distributing point, is
due. therefore, in no small measure
to the fine patronage its business men
have received from the other mer-
chants of the state. That this has
been large in the past is apparent by
the manner in which the business ac-
That it will be larger in the future is
the hope of every Topekan. This will
only be possible, though, as long as
Topeka and Topekans can deliver the
goods. And the visiting merchants
have an ample opportunity to find out
for themselves just what Topeka bust
ness men can do in the way of manu-
features and in every line of trade.
The doors of the business houses and
factories of the city are open to all
the visitors. 1t is to be hoped that
most of them will take advantage of
this opportunity to discover the multi
tude of things which are made and
marketed here. 1t is needless to state
that these things are just as good
as any that can be found in any COM
mercial center of the country. They
are all on display to speak for them
selves.
Matters of business. however, are
merely incidental to Merchants week
at Topeka. rare good time for all
that is the slogan of the hour. A
series of entertainments have been ar
ranged, which. it is to be hoped, will
prove most satisfactory to the visitors.
Not the least of them is the great avn
alton meet which has been booked for
the same days that the merchants are
to be here. And to the many people,
not of the merchants party, who are
to be here in the next couple OF days
to take advantage of the first oppor-
tunity given in Kansas to see flights of
real aeroplanes, a most sincere well
cOnoe is also extended
