SHOW FAIR PICTURE
Film at Orpheum Proves Success of
Big Topeka Exhibition.

A special showing the> film "'The
Kansas Free Fair" at the Orpheum
theater this morning leaves no room
for doubt that Topeka has solved the
fair problem from the point of the
success of the institution.
The film was for the most part
taken Tuesday, the second day of the
fair-a day on which the crowds are
normal and the scenes depicted could
be labelled as average.
In tue film it is shown that at the
time the races usually start, 1870
o'clock, the roads and walks leading
to the grandstand- are filled with the
crowds: that the picnic spaces
thoughtfully left by the management
for the use of the crowds are full to
overlooking, and that the exhibits and
concessions are every one of them sur
rounded by it's share of the assem-
blage The picture shows the races
running and harness and automobile
shows many of the features which go
to make UP the success of the To-
pelxa brand of fair.
Taken in itself the film is pic
turization OF a fair which might do
credit to the biggest county in Amer
lea and fair of which no state need
be ashamed to attach its name.

awhile IT,, morning while Judge Gar
we'd looked into the legality of using
statements contained in NeilFs ques-
tionnaire as evidence, but decided that
is was proper. so long as the subject
was confined to agriculture Neill adj
mitted, under cross examination, that
some of the answers he gave to ques-
tions in his questionnaires must have
been wrong, but declares that he was
sick at the time and that some of
his friends made it out for him. A
contract regarding a division of prop
erty was signed by the two, it seems,
before they agreed on a separation.

COUNTY TO Be ORGANIZED
FOR GOOD ROADS ELECTION
Persons Interested in Seeing Special
20 Cent Road Tax Adopted VIII
Form Organization In All Sec.
tlOns Of County to Push
the Election.

Since the Fiscal Court has called a
special election in this county on the
new twenty cent extra road tax, there
has been much interest manifest in
many sections of the county among
those folks who signed the petitions
calling for the election and all others
who are interested in seeing Mason
county have first class roads.
Although it is not definitely decided
as yet 1t is more than likely that the
commissioners will decide on building
concrete pixies in many parts of the
county. This movement will receive
the hearty support of all those people
who have anxiously awaited the time
when Mason county would have some
kind Of permanent pixies and roads.
1t is understood that an organization
is to be perfected Immediately with
workers in every precinct in the coun-
ty who will do their best to explain
to their friends and neighbors why
this extra twenty cent road tax should
be voted and why Mason county should
have some kind of perment pixies.
This organization will more than
likely be perfected within the next
few days and they will make the time
count well between now and the date
of the election.

PLANS ALL COMPLETE
FOR LIGHT At DEPOT
Local Agent Of the G. g. o. Railroad
Company Advised That Arrange.
ments Suggested by Company
are Accepted and That
Permission Is
Obtained.

Secretary Carl Dodds, Of the Mays
VILE Chamber of Commerce, today ad-
vised Mr.. W. w. Wikoff, local agent
of the c. & o. railroad company by let
ter that the proposition the G. & O.
railroad officials had made to the COM
mittee of City Oflcials and business
men for the erection of cluster lights
in Kirk Place was acceptable and that
the city's committee would carry out
its part of the agreement. He ad-
vised the railroad company agent that
already the committee had obtained
the permission Of the owners Of abut-
ting property to run underground
electric conduits to the points where
the clusters will be stationed.
It Is expected now that the railroad
company will do its part by having the
two clusters installed in the immediate
future. One cluster will stand on each
side of Kirk Place at the point where
the street enters the railroad COM
pany's property and they will light the
railroad grounds in front Of the new
station perfectly.
This will be one of the best improve
ments made in the West end Of the
city for some time and will be greatly
appreciated by the travelling public.

LOCAL CHAUTAUQUA
PROGRAM IS RAPIDLY
NEARING COMPLETION

BE Features.

1t has been stated that this sum-
mers Chautauqua program will be
better and bigger than ever. This
seems to be true judging from the ad-
vance notices sent out by the Colt
Alber management to the cities served
by them.
The various sessions to be filled
with what are known as double-head-
er programs-two different attractions
appearing in the afternoon and two in
the evening, giving ticket holders more
than has been given in the past De-
spite this and the fact that almost ev-
erything else has gone up on price, the
cost of season ticket remains the
same.
There are seven famous lecturers of
national and international prominence
to appear during the week, each cov-
ering an important topic in his ad-
dress-a topic on which he is an au-
thority. Just to name them is suffic-
lent. They are DR.. James L. Gordon,
the Gusaaulus of Canada; DR.. Cecile
Griel from Italy; Lieutenant Picard
from France; Hon. Charles Summer
Lobingier, Judge of the United States
Court for China Frank Bohn, the SEN
sational success of last summer and
just back from another trip to Europe;
Judge Ben N. Lindsey, the most ia
nous Juvenile Court Judge in the
world; and Anzac Tom Skeyhill from
Australia, one of the worlds greatest
orators.
The musical organization are all
high class and of varied nature tc
suit all tastes, while the big enter
tainment feature is the production of
George NJ COhan's greatest comedy
success, Seven Keys to Baldpate, in
which Coit-Alber has secured at high
cost the Chautauqua right. The play
will be produced by Percival Vivian of
Ben Greet Players fame, supported by
a company of Broadway favorites.
The dates for the 1919 Chautauqua
are to be announced soon.

BYRD TOWNSHIP
MAKES GOOD RECORD
Section Of Brown County Is Compli.
mented by Liberty Loan Bulletin.

The Daily Bulletin published by the
Central Liberty Loan Committee at
Cleveland, Ohio, says:
"Why should we'try to tell the story
when Chairman e. o. Hayes Of Brown
County, Ohio, tells It so well himself
in the following letter:
"'There are birds of brilliant plu-
mage, such as the peacock; there are
birds noted for their song, the nightin-
gale for instance; then there are birds
that deliver the goods, the stork for
example; but to this latter class be-
longs BYRD TOWNSHIP, also.
"1n the Third Liberty Loan they
went four times over their quota. In
the Fourth Loan they went twice over
their quota, and now in the Victory
Loan they are the first community to
double their quota, and only two
weeks gone.
"Their township chairman, I. E.
Blackburn, is the best little bond sell
er that ever pinned a button on with
one hand while he guided the hand on
the dotted line with the other.
"Then of course the people of Byrd
Township don't allow anyone to be
more patriotic than they, and that
helps"

KENTUCKY GOESOVER
AS THIS CITY REACHES
ITS LOAN QUOTA
Entire State Of Kentucky Reached Its
Quota In Victory Loan Campaign
Wednesday.

Washington, May S.-The best re-
ports of the entire Victory Liberty
Loan campaign reached the Treasury
yesterday. Total subscriptions were
raised $2,45S,663,00 or SO per cent Of
the aggregate desired The overnight
increase was $39S,OOO,OOO, of which
$237 100000 came from the New York
District.
Kentucky and Connecticut have Of
flcially oversubscribed their quotas.
Subscriptions in the Cleveland dis
trict in which Maysville Is located and
percentage of quota was announced as
follows: Cleveland $199,637,000 44.3.
All hands in the navy were "piped"
to quarters for Navy Day" in the Vic
tory Loan campaign yesterday when
the bond sales were expected to re-
ceive substantial boost as a result
of the sea fighters challenge to the
country to match the navy. Special
demonstrations had been arranged In
most places, and the navy's slogan will
be the appeal used to urge citizens
everywhere to buy bonds.
The Navy's subscription is more
than $12,OOO,OOO, which is considered a
better record than for the correspond
ing time in the fourth loan, because of
the reduced personnel. Competition
among the different ships is keen, and
the battle ship Utah, with $24,40O sub
scribed, is being closely pressed for
honors.
The navy yard forces also are in
close contest, the Philadelphia and
Mare Island plants both having pass
ed the million-dolla mark, with the
former leading all yards by $4,000.
The first subscription from Alaska
was reported last night, the us. S.
Vicksburg at Juneau having subscrib-
ed for $4,000 of bonds.
