THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
! Who says she heard another woman
| talking on the street car the other
/ day and this person said that every
night several of Topeka's patriotic
| citizens were to climb up and take
down the muslin covered arch at
| Eighth and Kansas avenues and put
it away for the night so the windy,
rainy weather would not tear it nor
! shrink the muslin. She is still won
because it will be awfully hard to
salvage that shrunken muslin pretty

An effort is being made to enlarge
| the Kansas chapter of the Sons of the

| notice recently sent out by Mr.. Arthur
| H. Bennett, seer etary. Mr. Bennett
says: Drives are popular and while
! thye are, we want to make just one
drive for more members in the Sons
| of the American Revolution. There
are about ten times as many 'Daugh-
[ terS' as Sons here in Kansas and it
| ought not to be so; their number
| should be about equal. 1 believe that
