Central School Children Write to
Thank Him for Gift.

Robert Tasker, register of deeds,
has just received a unique acknowl-
edgment which he prizes very highly.
Last year Mr.. Tasker was one of
the memorial day orators at Central
Park school. He was greatly sur
priscd to find that though this was one
of the finest and largest schools in To-
peka, it had no flag of any kind. In
commenting upon this fact he said
that he would see to it that the school
possessed the finest flag in the city
before the next school year opened
True to his word Tasker bought the
largest and best flag he could find and
presented it to the school.
This week he received the following
letter from the principal Miss Moore:
1.-THE teachers of the Central Park
school wish to unite with the pupils in
giving thanks to the donor of our
beautiful flag. Each child in the
building wrote letter, but I am send
ing only one from each room as a
bunch of 498 might be a burden to a
busy man. Hoping to soon see it wave,
I am very sincerely,
mi. e. MOORE"
Mr.. Tasker says he will keep the
twelve letters as long as he lives and
is only sorry that he has not the 49S.
