1T GROWS IN FAVOR
Auditorium Crowd at Midwinter
Larger Than Ever.
Craze for Souvenirs Finds Large
Supply.
NO ONE is MISSED.
Everybody Given Something to
Remember the Event.
MarshaIl's Band Will Play at
Show Tonight.

! The throngs at the Midwinter are
now madly in quest of souvenirs The
7raze did not materialize the first day
or two of the show, but now everybody
and everybody's brother is carrying
around corn flake carton as a con-
venience in Juggling around the
| trinkets.
One might start out at the million
bubble" booth, in close proximity to
/ the Auditorium door, and begin the
collection by dropping in the carton a
cake of sweet scented soap. Then at
| a many sided booth not far away may
be had a motely but interesting ana
useful assortment of souvenirs: calen-
OARS note books, fortune telling Teddy
| bears, etc. Then nearby a package OF
Z noodles may be had at the place where
! spaghetti is dealt out.
Further down the line OF booths
| Lorenzo Hahn, instructor in Chi-Namel
art stenciling in a local booth where
| paints are being advertised, Will stick
| Jacket a butterfly, and a little China
man. too if you care to have MINI
There is a booth not far away where
| a cracker or two might be added TO
the collection.
At the headquarters in the hall for
the largest creamery in the world
watch fobs. butterflies and whistles
are given out. hmm ediately south IS
an electrical and athletic booth where
buttons posters and targets may be
added to the rapidly growing assort-
ment
At the booth around the corner
there IS a quantity of literature for
distribution on such Topeka made
goods as burial vaults, concrete brick
machines, vacuum auto box, lily traps
etc.
On the return west along the north
side of the hall one might stop to get
a photo taken or mingle with the
crowd in front of the place where ice
cream-made on the spots handed
out. Then he could stop to get pan
cake to appeaSe the appetite and While
eating it take a guess on this question;
eff the labels in all packages of our
pancage -four in the past five calendar
years were placed end to end in
straight line how far would they eX-
tend?" Then while one is in the guess
ing business it would be we'll to take
a chance for a prize by putting down
on a card the number of talking ma
chine needles you think there are In
a bottle full of them.
But to continue the quest for trink-
cts. Way over on the opposite side of
the hall at a booth run in the interests
of a certain lodge which has it's ma
tional headquarters in Topeka, jumping
Teddy bears and monkeys will be
given you upon request. Across the
aisle where corn product is advertise
ed q big supply of souvenirs may be |
added to the collection, namely. blot |
tiers. paper ears of corn, packages of !
corn lakes, CdTIOnSy DuIIOuS,
jungle books, etc At the adjoining
booth a ''Persil'' button may be had
for the asking. Over in the corner by
the pass door the equal suffrage advo- |
Gates are giving out little vote for |
women flags and post cards to be I
mailed on kansas Day" January 29.
BY this time the collection of trinlzets
has probably grown to such an extent |
that Juggling it around has become
burdensome. It would be a good plan
to decide to continue the quest for
souvenirs on another day.
The crowd Wednesday night was
even larger than the evening before. |
The balcony was packed, and it was
difficult at times to move around on
the main floor. An even bigger jam is
tonight as MarshaIPs 25-piece
band will play
In handing out compliments Ray
Halls orchestra should have one and
at the same time a lemon should be
given the man at the pass door, for his
ack of courtesy.
