delegation of farmers from the
Indian Creek grange will be present

room built in North Topeka. The
grange people want rest room and
they want it badly enough to come
to town and beg for it.
Fred Morns will speak for the Civic
club in reply. to the oranges request.
Some definite action on this much dis
cussed question of a rest room, may
be expected at the meeting Senti-
ment faVorS such an institution.
There is no doubt that one is needed.
And if one would just grow up on
convenient spot, without anyone hav-
ing to work for it or pay for it, every
one would be immensely pleased.
Proposals have been made that a
room at Quincy school might be used
for the purpose, properly fitted out
and equipped, for the comfort of the
country women who come to town
for days shopping and trading. But
it is objected that Quincy school is off
Kansas avenue and is several blocks
from the center of business.
Up to Merchants.
1t looks as tho the merchants will
have to dig up and build one, if
they want such structure as will
creditably fulfill their purpose.
The meeting Monday night will be
the first of a series to be held in diff
ferent sections of North Topeka. Ev-
cry taxpayer is asked to attend and
make the proposition a success.

Make Corn flour.
The Forbes mill in North Topeka
for several years has been engaged in
the making of corn flour. But the
Forbes people say that up to the pres
ent time there is no demand for it in
the retail trade. 1t is sold principally
to confectioners. who use it III making
candy. No reason is assigned for the
lack of a market for corn flour When
mixed with wheat flour in proper pro-
portions, it cannot be detected by the
most skillful housewife. and does not
alter the flavor or quality of the food
in which it is used.
