TAKE UP PROTESTS
City Commissioners Get Valuations
on Park Assessments.

The appraisers report on the benefit
district between Sixth and Twelfth,
and Branner and Locust streets,
created for the purpose of establishing
a park on the East Side, was read be-
fore the city commissioners this morn
ing
The park is the triangular tract of
land between Tenth and Eighth streets
east of the old Parkdale school. 1t will
cost $6.41S. Part of this would come
from the city, and part from taxes on
the benefit district. The Topeka
Cemetery association has paid $500
on the park.
Several protests were entered this
morning against the size of the assess
ment against certain tracts of land
1t was held that owi--g to their size
and distance from the park they would
not derive a value from it commen-
surate with the amount they were be-
ing taxed.
The commissioners will meet again
Thursday morning to reopen the
question which was not settled this
morning. In the meantime they will
confer with the appraisers and prob
ably make a trip to examine the Ques-
toned tracts of land. The appraisers
will no doubt appear at the session
Thursday morning. 1t is not believed
that enough protests will come in to
prevent the Establishment of the park
which is highly desired by many East
Side persons

the week. This play, with its lesson
of democracy, is to be given on the
last day of Chautauqua. There are
twelve leading parts in "The Wop,"

much to serve his country well; and
American boy who because of his gen.

SCENE woP AMERICANS ALL" PRESENTED BY
THE JUNIORS TONIGHT

Md. Both young men are great ia
vorites.
1t is only necessary for one to
watch the children at the sessions to
realize. how thoroughly they are en-
loving the work. 1t is only necessary
to listen to the instruction of their
leaders to understand how worth
while this instruction is. Those chill
dren who have been attending this
past week have unquestionably been
benefited. They have received
wholesome entertainment, and valu-
able lessons. Those children who
have not attended have missed a rare
treat and should at once make their
plans to attend next year. They
should take to heart the little song
which runs
Earn a dollar, save dollar,
Buy your ticket now;
If you cannot find way
Ask your father how.
For in no other way can so much fun,
and so many good times be had for
the small sum Of one dollar. If you
don't believe this, ask any of the $50
young Americans who have been at
the junior meetings every morning
during this past week.

BOOSTER JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUANS
PUT THE MERRY" In AMERICAN
Daily Big Tent Are Well Attended BY Enthusias
tic Youngsters, Who Enjoy Minute They Are There

For we're all American,
For we're all American.
Yes. we are Americans al"
So ends one of the songs that the
songs that $50 youngsters of the
Putnam Junior Chautauqua are learn
ing this week at their daily sessions
in the big tent on the High school lot.
And the words of the simple melody
are typically true, for every one of
the boys and girls is a good American,
and what is more. they are being
taught how they may become better
Americans and better citizens of the
city in which they live. With their
Junior town government, modelled af-
ter the government of our own mu-
nieipality, and with their town Off
cials, they are becoming acquainted
with certain important aspects of civ
les, and are gaining knowledge that
never will be forgotten, and which
will make them understand more fully
and deeply the meaning of obligations
of the citizenship that will be theirs
in few years.
Junior Chautauqua is larger and
better than ever before, and the chill
dren are entering into the spirit of
the thing in a way that shows they
enjoy every minute of the two hour
daily sessions. There are two junior
leaders,. Miss Ethel M. Duncan, of
Quakertown, Pa, who has just grad
uated from the Emerson College of
Boston; and Miss Ethel M. Berner,
Hazelton, Pa, now senior at Emer-
son College In addition to acting as
assistant to Miss Duncan, Miss Berner
serves as cashier for the Chautauqua
organization. Both are talented young
ladies, and when Miss Berner tells
stories-and she does it in an enter
tanning and interesting fashion-all
of the boys and girls give their most
undivided attention, and clap roundly
at the conclusion.
Each morning the sessions open
when the mayor of Chautauqua Town
calls the meeting to order. Then
comes the reading of the minutes of
