feeling has existed among North L.
Topeka people that the city in appor-5ss
tioning band concerts to the different
parks has sighted Garfield Cons
missioner Porter when seen today Of
fered explanation During the
season, he said. it is planned to give
in all nineteen band concerts. Five
are by the knights and Ladies of Se-f.F
curity organization, the other four
teen by Marshalrs. The city has five
parks in which concerts are given.
Garfield, Chesney, Ripley, Gage and
City park. Garfield has already had
three concerts. two by Marshalls and3sf'
one by the K. and L. of S. 1t Will :

Commissioner Porter thinks. is Car 's''
fields share. The effort has been q
made to afford the most entertain- =.
ment for the greatest number of peo-
pie. Thus Chesney's has more con-
certs than any other park because IL
is located in the center of a thickly y
settled residence district convenient y.
to two car lines and surrounded by
streets where a large number of auto &.
mobiles pass. No rigid schedule is
adhered to. but with five concerts
out of nineteen given. and another
one possible by Jackson's band, Conn ,
missioner Porter does not believe that -
he has sighted the citizens of the

Fine Corn ON Second oBttom
A. G. Dressler of Rossville has a..
forty-acre field of corn which appears,..
| to have defied the drouth that IS
| bringing despair to most corn grow
ers. He brought to the Citizens State
bank five beautiful ears of what he =
declares to be representative grain
Part of it is entirely ripe and past
serious injury by the drouth, tho a
continued lack of rain will shrink the =
| kernels considerably. He states that
| rain within the next week will save
the greenest of it. Mr.. Dressler's
farm is on what is known as second
bottom land.
