do you like to go to a circus? DO
you like to cultivate sore sides by the
laughing process? Are you good
enough sport to pay 2-bits for the
best and most worthy public enter
tainment that was ever offered to To-
peka fun lovers?
If so, then don't fail to be at the
Auditorium on thu evening OF Inurs-
day March 25. But if you don't en-
iov any of these things and don't
think it is worth 25 cents to see the
greatest Barnum attraction ever OF
fered in Kansas, go and spend your
money any way and help Shawnee
county bring her Red Line auto trail
up to date by equipping 1t with sign
posts and markers.
Here is the who, what and where
fore of it all:
In order to raise funds to mark the
Red Line in Shawnee county, the Red
Line basketball team of Glasco has ar
ranged to play basketball game here
on the evening of the 25th with the
Topeka Cubs, a strong ard widely
known quintet in Topeka.
This Glasco team has toured the
Red Line from Glasco to Denver, rails
ing money to mark the line along the
entire route Now the team is going
and a game was scheduled in Topeka
with Captain Kientz's Cub team.
Overton Gets Busy.
When E. L. Overton, the Red Line
official of Shawnee county. was in
formed of this, he decided that more
people might be induced to turn out
and contribute 25 pennies to the good
cause if side attractions were offered;
program that should prove the great
est drawing card of the season. AS
tentatively arranged and announced,
this program is follows:
First-A pipe organ selection.
Second-A four round boxing bout
between George Godfrey Moore and
Charles Mitchell, with L. NJ. Penwen
referee.
Third-An exhibition of skillful
and artistic rock cracking by George
W. Stansfield. Mr.. Stansfield will
use an IS pound sledge hammer and
will smoke a clay pipe throughout the
entire performance of his act. He will
crack not less than two perch without
stopping.
Fourth-An exhibition of Harry
Snyder in cage-provided suitable
cage can be found.
. Fifth-Basketban game between
Glasco Red Liners and Topeka Cubs.
This game will be refereed by Clar-
ence (Keg) Jordan, the patriotic cit
lien who prevented the proper mark
ing of the Red Line last year by fall
ing into the barrel of paintand spoil
ing it
SiXth-Pipe organ selection.
Other Attractions.
If possible. other attractions of a
similar nature will be added, and
there is some talk of a wrestling
match between two prominent society
ladies. provided the ladies can be
found who are sufficiently interested
in good roads to offer their services
Then, there will probably be lemon
eating contests between the candidates
for mayor, and many other new, nov
ell. startling and highly entertaining
attractions that have never before
been offered to the general public.
But, no matter how big the show, the
price will be only Is cents, and every
cent taken in will be applied to the
marking of the Red Line.
Any one who can put on an act
that will add to the quality and origi-
nality of the show is requested to
get into touch with Mr.. Overton as
soon possible.
The Basketball Game.
The basketball game in itself will
be we'll worth the admission charged
and 1t ought to be the best game
staged in Topeka this season. The
Glasco five has made a most remark
able record and has defeated teams in
almost every part of the state On
the other hand, the Topeka Cubs have
given a good account of themselves
