PHOTOS OF OFFICERS
f. G. willard Commissioned to Make
Them For Historical Society.

War history is being made in Kan
sas and the State Historical society
has asked F. G. willard, who has been
it's official photographer for the past
four years, to obtain for it as much
of this history by photography as may
be possible.
Among other things he has been
asked to make photographs of each one
of the officers of the Kansas National
Guard as mustered into federal serv-
ice, and as many of all the soldiers
who are to soon serve our country as
may be possible.
Mr.. Willard will go with the troops
with a complete studio, and remain
until this work is finished.
The officers who reside in Topeka
have been asked by General Martin
to report to Mr.. Willard before Au-
gust 5, so that pictures of the Topeka
contingent may be made before 1eav-
ing for permanent mobilization. This
collection of officers numbering up
wards of 800, when ultimately grouped
will make a most interesting and val
liable possession for the State Histori-
cal society, as it has never before been
done.
All pictures to be used in the Off
cial group will have to be made by
Mr.. Willard as there must be absolute
uniformity as to size, style and quail
ity. Mr.. Willard has also been asked
by Underwood & Underwood. the

of these managers will serve to keep
things moving all along the line of the

A group of young women will sell

sure to be well burned. In the cool

very new forms of entertainment, will
be put on in our town next Saturday
night, when the women of the Rota
club give their street dance The
party is to begin at o'clock, with
a program that has been arranged by
a committee of members. The choice
of the towns streets was given them
by the city authorities, and they have
decided to rope off two blocks of
Harrison street, just west of the
state capitol, SO as to have the state
house and the yard for their back
ground, and on the other side of the
street. some of the handsomest
houses and lawns in the city. They
will also have the use of Ninth street
from Harrison to Topeka avenue.
Mrs. June Chapman and Mrs. P.
H. Adams, with the assistance of
Miss Kate Williams and Miss Clara
Armstrong, of the Y. w. c. A, have
been arranging the program. The
first number will be "a Sunrise
Frolic." which will be given by three
little girls, Sara Louise Gossett, the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Gossett; Betty Freeman, the daugh-
ter of Dr. and Mrs. j. d. Freeman,
and Sara Ewart, the daughter of
Mrs. Terrence Ewart. The sunrise
lights will be thrown on the dancers,
