BOOSTING TOPEKA.


In the. first autumn number OF the
Commercial Club Bulletin issued to-
day. Topeka as a retail and manufac-
turing center is discussed
Topeka is gaining In popularity as
retail CENTER says the article.
Shoppers travel long distances in or
der to buy in Topeka stores, which
are acknowledged to be the best In
the state. And yet notwithstanding
this fact hundreds OF people here pass
up the local shopping advantages and
do their buying out of town. Buying
at home benefits the banker, the mer-
chant, the tax payer and the labOrer.
In other words 1t tends to make the
city more prosperous.
In another article the Bulletin con-
tinues: 1.-TWO hundred and ninety
four firms in Topeka engaged in man
ufacture Of some kind. turned out q
product valued at $17.s9S,221 during
the year ending March 1, according to
the list OF manufactures and products
Of industry in the abstract of the
Shawnee county assessors report to
the board of agriculture The raw
material used was valued at $9.984,S16
and the total in wages paid to the
5000 laborers employed was $780,
$50. M
Partially complete returns showed
that an average Of 3.623 men and
1.O46 women were given employment
by the 294 establishments, which rep

PASS THROUGH Topeka
Spaniards Flee From Mexico for Ma
tive Land.

A special car Of Spaniards from Ell
Paso passed through Topeka on the
Rock Island at o'clock this morning.
The car was en- route for New York,
where the Spaniards will sail in a few
days for their native country.
The European war has nothing to do
with the departure Of the Spaniards. 1t
was the new revolution in Mexico. IT
is said that Villa. the head of the new
revolt. is unfriendly to the Spaniards
in Mexico, and when the announcement
Of his opposition to Carranxa was made
public, the natives of Alphonso's coun-
try left in hurry.
There are hundreds Of Spanish people
in and about Ell Paso, and indications
are that several other cars will be char
tered to take many of them back to
Europe. There were 30 persons in the
car that passed through here this
morning

The grand lodge officers Of this or
ganizatiOn will be in Topeka on the
night of Monday, Sept. %, to make an
official call on the members of lodge
No 2O4 located in Topeka. At this
meeting the officers will explain the
plans of the organization for this big
Christmas ship. The Christmas ship
plan for the benefit of the children of
Europe is being worked out by these
officers.
Among the grand lodge officers will
be Raymond Benjamin of Napa, Cal,
grand exalted ruler: James B. Nichol-
son of Boston. chairman of the board
of trustees of the grand lodge, and Fred
c. Robinson of Dubuque, Ia, grand sec
rotary.
A reception will be rendered these
officers by the members Monday even
ing. These visitors are the highest Of
ficers of the Elks organization and they
are prominent in business affairs of
their respective homes.
Mr.. Benjamin is a lawyer by profess
sion and at present is deputy attorney
general of California. 1t is expected
that there will be a. big attendance at
the Elks home on Seventh and jackson
streets on this occasion.
While the visit to Topeka and other
cities is a business affair." these officers
will tell about the big Christmas ship
to the countries which are involved in
war.
Appeal for Charity.
In his appeal to the Elks on this
subject Grand Exalted Ruler Benjamin
says: Charity is always beautiful,
because it is the expression of love and
understanding. But there is some
thing in the Christmas ship which is
bigger than charity-which is love
itself. There is something strikingly
beautiful in the thought OF giving to
children-the thought of the children
of one great nation sacrificing some
thing that the children of other ma
tons may be much happier.
1T is a big opportunity-not only
for children but for grOwnups as we'll
to render selfless kind of human
service. For the Christmas ship
stands for selflessness, for service
without hope of personal reward eth
err direct or indirect. The gifts it car
ries will be offerings from the very
heart of the American nation. And
because they will be offerings Of that
kind they will mean greater happiness
to the children across the sea than the
gifts alone possibly could mean"
The Christmas ship idea is not con-
fined to the Elks 1t is attracting the
interest of schools, churches. clubs and
kindred organizations over all the
United tSates.
