wrapping and shipping of the loaves.
Any one who wants to learn more
of the process or arrangements may
call Mrs. w. H. Bowlby of Fillmore
street.
Mrs. Jack Dillon, who is in charge
of the Red Cross work rooms, has
request to make of some of the girls
who drive their cars. She asks that
they call up the Red Cross rooms in
the mornings to find out if there are
packages to be delivered. and If so,
that they drive down and carry out
the bundles that have to be sent out
nearly every day to the various units
that are doing Red Cross work. There
are a good many women and girls
who have cars and who are not doing
work at the Red Cross rooms who
could help very substantially by deliV-
ering packages. Many OF them are
driving about en- other errands or for
the pleasure of motoring, and the
trouble Of calling at the rooms and
taking out packages would be very
slight, considering the help it would
be to those who are carrying the bur
den of getting out the work required
Of the Topeka Red Cross society.

THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is quite the model husband.
have it on his own confession The
story goes that an irate woman who
had missed a train because she was
talking to friends instead of listening
to the caller, stormed into the sta
ton, attacked this railroad man in
charge and abused him like a pick
pocket because the train had slid out
when she was not aboard. He listened
with patience, and explained the ms
and outs of the railroad business to
her, with the utmost good nature. He
sOothed her with fair words, and he
looked pleasantly over into her eye
brows. Finally her rage softened, and
smiles took the place of frowns. She
looked the man over with her gazelle
eyes and discovered that he was
shamefully good looking. Then she
told him how his dirty railroad had
ruined her white silk stockings. In
fact, she proved it to him. She con-
tinued to smile at him, and began to
hedge on the story she had told him
at the station. 81 am dreadfully
hungry" she told him; where could
we get a steak?"
The man never faltered. "If we
means YOU he answered. steaks are
served in the Harvey house, or you
could eyPf al n 70 n
