The Topeka Advertising club had a
leading part in the reorganization of
the Commercial club six years ago and
was a civic organization that for sew
era1 years was a prominent factor in
the development of Topeka.
The Hampton Plan.
The Hampton Plan of campaign is
designed to show the best method of
procuring the maximum of local trade,
of building up the Hampton, Iowa,
community, is to sell and purchase So
called nationally advertised goods.
There are numerous elements in this
Hampton Plan, but the essential fea-
ture, the initial feature, at any rate, is
a campaign of eight to ten weeks
duration for the advertising and sale
of nationall advertised goods. Such
a campaign is familiar in the larger
towns and cities, and such a campaign
is comparatively easy to put over. In
fact it is being put over all the time,
especially by magazine advertising,
and also by newspaper advertising of
the local city merchant who sells ma
tionally advertised goods.
The meeting Wednesday is open to
all business men.

HAD BRAINS TO SPARE
Surgeon Tells of Wonderful Operation
Performed on French Soldier

Paris, March 23.-An operation per-
formed by DR.. Guepin by which part
of a wounded soldiers brain was re-
moved without the patient suffering
serious consequences was described
before the Academy of Science Mon
day night by DR.. A. Laveran.
The soldier. DR.. Laveran said, was
taken to military hospital with a
penetrating wound in the occipital
region of his Uranium. Splinters of
bone caused assesses to form in the
left cerebral hemisphere. These were
removed but fresh ones formed and
DR.. Guepin was obliged on two occa-
sions to remove portions of the brain
which protruded from the wound.
Thus the patient lost at least a third
of the left cerebral hemisphere but
shows no particular signs either of
mental or physical trouble
