frantic because they couldn't get an
adequate supply of the frozen water,
and the people who purchased pop and
other drinks IN some instances were
wrathy to say the least to find that
they were anything but the cool, re-
fresh1ng beverages they were cracked
when it came to dealing out frozen
cakes to their customers in the resi-
dence districts and in many cases
where SO pounds of ice was asked for
only 3 pounds was given
Hundreds of people, Topekans as
we'll as those who drove in from the
country, came early on Home Coming
day, and remained on the grounds I'M
til night. The 4eats'' houses did
rushing business.
The restaurants down town were de-
cidedly rushed at the noon hour and
walters were tipped literally by Gus
waited upon. This showed that there
were many people here from out OF
town.
On the fair grounds the crowds have
been manageable and there has been
little rowdyisrn. The militiamen from
Clay Center under Captain Guy Mar
tin have done good work, although in
one or two instances young mem bers
of the organization have become rath-
er excited not having been used to
service of this kind.
