placed with the Prudential Trust
company.
Without disparagement to the mag
nificent hotels operated and under
construction by the North American
Hotel company, it may be said that it
is the plan of Mr.. Elvad and his as
sociateS to make the Topeka hotel
the crack hotel of the chain of
twelve. Seven of these twelve are
either in operation now or will be
completed and in operation during
the present summer. Mr.. E1vad is
one Of the shrewdest investors in the
country. g
He is a man of large means and has
one of the most beautiful homes in
Omaha, with grounds of three and a
half acres. The money he has put
into the preferred stock of these
hotels can only bring him a profit
when he produces the same profit for
the Topeka subscribers. So great is
his confidence in the necessity and
prosperity of the hotels in the few
choice locations where they decide to
build and operate that the COM
pany guarantees returns to the
Topeka subscribers and the other
subscribers as well of 6 per cent from
the date the subscriptions are paid.
That means that all Topeka subscrib-
ers who have already paid in their
money and are paying it in this week
and next will receive this interest,
payable semi-annually, from this
date.

SOLDIER FROM FRANCE. :
HELPED BY RED CROSS
AMERICAN SOCIETY LOCATED
MANS WIFE AND CHILD
Search For Mother and Baba
Almost In Vain; His Great
Delight
AMERICAN RED CROSS WORKER

Bourg- En- Bresse, France, August
! 1S.-[By Maill-A French soldier
| recently visited Red Cross head
quarters in this little town near Lake
Geneva. He was a bronzed, weather
beaten man, the dust of his journey
still upon him, his battered helmet
and roughened clothes telling their
tale. 1t was easy to take his meas
urea fearless man, who would face
| danger unflinchingly. Yet his voice
| trembled like child's his eyes
, moistened with tears, as he told
his story.
Sought His Wife
The words came jerkily He had
: come to Bourg to find his wife and
child; he had been told that they
would arrive here on the convoy of
repatriated French people leaving
Evian June 5. And he had been
granted three days permission to be
with them, generous concession, he
added, at this time when no man can
be spared And all to no purpose.
Already the better part of the day
was gone and he could get no trace
of them. And no one seemed to be
able to tell him where they were.
Child He Never Had Seen
He had not seen his wife and
little girl, now five years of age, in
four years. Four years in the invaded
territory and not one word from them
in that time. He did not know his
second child, born shortly after the
German hordes swept over his
country and buried two years later.
To his little girl he was only a
name. Four years of hope and fears
and doubts, and then word from
Evian that they were there and
would be in Bourg where he could
reclaim them.
Bought Doll For Girl
He carried in his hand very
much crumpled package, a doll he
had bought for his little girl. He had
carried it around with him all day.
He had gone from bureau to bureau,
from official to official, asking for
information which would help to find
his wife and child. He would have
to be patient They would be traced
He had only three days in which to
visit with his family, to make up for
four years. He despaired
Red Cross Found the Way
Then someone told him to go to
the American Red Cross. He came
with very little hope, but left jubi-
liant. The Red Cross was able to help
him. The Red Cross knew where
his wife and child were, knew their
destination. The destination was
confirmed by telephone. In few
hours he would be with his family
And we sent him on his way with
an outfit for his little girl, a few
toys, something for his wife and
package of tobacco for himself

Another feature that should at
tract considerable interest in this
work is the fact that the Good Thunder
team which won the state champion
snip at the state fair will give several
demonstrations. This team is not
competing in the contest but will dem
onstrate merely for those who desire
10 see their demonstration. 1t is also
expected that the Mankato team which
made such a splendid showing at the
state fair last week will also give a
exhibition demonstration. The Good
Thunder team will demonstrate on
Friday at two o'clock and again on
Saturday at two o'clock
In addition to the canning contest
other projects of club work will be
well represented. The boys and girls
club work is being grouped together
in the big tent near the floral hall.
Miss Goodrasture of Washington D.
c., and Mr.. Giberson assistant state
club leader, are all expected to be
present at the fair.
