Do you remember when you were
a small boy and the circus was COM
ing to town. the day before its arrival
was the longest day in the year-ex-
cept the day before Christmas?
Well, that's the situation with the
boys and girls of North Topeka today.
They are counting the hours until to-
morrow afternoon. when North To-
peka's Big show is on. Mother has
already commenced cooking good
things to fill the picnic basket. and
receives many suggestions from John
ME and Susie whose eyes are bigger
than their stomachs.
Is there a small boy-or girl either,
for that matter; who doesn't delight in
a procession, and one with a sure
enough band. too? That's what the
on North Topeka day. and they will
be part of the parade, into the bar
gain.
But the parade is not confined to
the children and the band. Every
body in North Topeka is invited to
march from the Melan bridge to Gar
u field park, waving flags and banners.

Z are especially asked to join in this
\ demonstration and boost for North

| from the bridge promptly at 1890 to-
morrow afternoon and those desiring
\ to join in the march are asked to be
/ at the north end of the Melan bridge
by one o'clock, that there may be no
delay in starting.
Persons preferring to ride in their
autos are also eligible to take part in
this North Topeka Day" parade.

his ears and prance jauntily in time to
the band music; and of course there
will be a dog or two. for who ever
saw procession without at least one
dog?

morrow afternoon and her citizens
