Retail Merchants Elect Law
renee Man President.
Convention Here Most Success
full in Organizations History.

Only a few of the delegates to the
Kansas Retailers association conven-
ton remained in the city today, most
of them having gone home Immediate
ly after adjournment late Wednesday
afternoon. However, a few remained
over to transact business that they
were unable to get to while the con-
vention was in session.
Just before adjournment Wednes-
day afternoon Pittsburg was selected
as the next meeting place and the fol-
lowing officers We're elected: H. L.
Winey, Lawrence, president; H. w.
Brewer, Abilene, first vice president;
1. D. Van Meter, Parsons, second vice
president; Samuel Rothweiler, Bison.
third vice president; A. G. Johnson,
fourth vice president; J. C. Martin,
Wellington, fifth vice president: D. l..
Martin, Olathe, treasurer. A L. Oil
ger of Emporia, was re-appointed
secretary and 1. E. Lambert Emporia,
was chosen state attorney.
Meeting Big Success.
In taking charge as president, H.
L. Winey asserted that the Topeka
convention was the greatest success
of any ever held since the organiza-
ton was formed and that he was glad
to know the association is growing to
such proportions that it is of ineSti-
mable value to its members and to
the whole retail trade of the state.
In outlining the future policy of the
association, Mr.. Winey stated that in
his opinion the most important mat
ter to be looked after is that of send
ing business men to the legislature
who will be acquainted with the needs
| of the merchants and will see that
| they get legislation which will not be
detrimental to their business.
No IA. U. Short Course.
In his address Wednesday after
| noon, F. r. Hamilton, of Kansas uni
versity, announced to the delegates
| that because the legislature failed to
appropriate sufficient funds. it will
be impossible for the institution to
conduct a short course for merchants
during the coming year. He explain
ed that the legislature did give the
university something like $4,000
more money for operating expenses
but that the present indications are
| this Will not be sufficient to take care
of the increased cost of fuel for the
coming winter Mr.. Hamilton assured
the merchants that the university will
endeaVor to resume the short course
work at the earliest possible date.
John Cogan, Of Omaha, who adj
dressed the convention, advised the
merchants to take advantage of the
golden opportunity to enlarge theil
| business, and cited conditions il
France and England to show that the
war will improve rather than depres:
business activities.

was the vehicle for the return of Louis
Mann for his first appearance IN vaudeville
In this city. The startling turns and the
melodramatic situations of the sketch are
handled by Mann and his company with
rare skill.
The story centers about a snobbish social
climber and his wife. The man to attain
his ends has cut himself loose from mother
and brother In the old world and has sacri-
feed everything to the ends of society. The
long forgotten brother suddenly appears
attired as Ghetto character. and asks for
shelter. The climber orders him out of
the house only to learn that he has in
suited the financial king of the South
African gold fields.
The outcast brother, throwing aside his
disguise. arraigns the social climber and
his wife, strips them of their shams, shows
them the emptiness of their life, announces
a plan to break them financially, and then,
at the behest Of the aged mother, forglves
them both.

presented by Louis Simon and company
The theme is case of mistaken identity
