SCHOOLS TO ENTER

Following the announcement of the
ideas of Mayor Billiard and City Com
missioner Bone for a Sane Fourth of
July in Topeka this year, in the State
Journal Saturday evening, the people
of Topeka have taken an unusual in
terest in the movement.
This afternoon the city commission
ers have made official their promise OF
500 to head the sane Fourth" fund
and they have appointed a committee
to organize the clubs, churches, schools
and commercial organizations into a
general committee for the purpose of
arranging a grand Fourth of July cele-
| bration-a celebration without burned
faces, SCARED bodies and possibly
+, This committee will take in the board
| of education, the churches, the Com
merciaI club and allied clubs, the fra
| ternal organizations and several other
| city associations.
| Mayor Billiard said this afternoon he
| was surprised at the manner in which
! the people have responded to tins
movement.
Immediately after it came out in the
State Journal Saturday evening people
called me up over the telephone ap-
proving of the move and asking that
! they might assist in some way or other.
Mrs Evans, of the school board, has
suggested that the work be organized
at once in order that the school children
of the city may be combined to take
part in the celebration. Some sort OF
a school drill has been suggested.
II have grown enthusiastic over the
| prospects for a civilized Fourth of July
| in Topeka this year

tion raises $3.50 the first day.
| Mayor Billiard has suggested thai
members of the Topeka F1ambeau clubs
handle the fireworks part of the day
program He believes there are several
] experienced men in the clubs capable
of carrying out this part of the amuse-
! nent without danger to anyone.
