FIREMEN HAD A BIG TIME
Annual Ball Tuesday Night Was a
Unique Affair.

Not only was the firemen's annual
ball given at Steinberg's hall Tues
day evening the most successful ball
ever put on by the firemen. but it was
also one of the most enjoyable parties
given this season. in the opinion of
many of the guests.
About 400 persons were present at
the party. The hall was decorated in
red and blue, the firemen's colors.
The bottom half of the electric lights
had been dipped in blue and were
topped with red shades.
The feature of the evening was the
ringing of the fire gong. a familiar
sound in the city hall. the siren started
its weird. shrieking moan and electric
fans in the room were turned on at
full speed. The illusion of the noise
of the firemen leaving the department
with their equipment was SO perfect
that people rushed to the windows to
watch the other boys on duty leave
for the fire.
At the first rap of the gong Chief
Joseph Hanlon hit the floor with an
excited look in the direction of the de-
partment building and was hard to
surprise party planned by the boys.
He was expecting the siren to be used.
but the gong was surprise, and he
figured that right then and there he
should be leaving one dance party to
go to the fire. The dance began at
$50 o'clock. They danced until 1905
o'clock in the morning. More than
500 tickets to the dance were sold

MORE BUSINESS HERE
Harvester Purchase Will Bring Trade
to Topeka International Branch.

The announcement that the Inter-
national Harvester company has pur-
chased the manufacturing plant and
business of the Parlin & Orendorff
company of Canton, ILL.,, has aroused
great interest in the agricultural i'm
plement trade. News of the transac-
ton was received by O. E. Wright,
the Harvester COMPANY manager in
Topeka. IN telegram from the Chi
cago office.
The p. & o. company, as it is pop
ularly known, is one of the pioneer
pillow manufacturers of America. The
present extensive plant at Canton, ILL.,.
is the outgrowth of a blacksmith shop
which William Parlin started there in
1892. The P. & o. line of pIows and
tillage implements is well known and
largely used thruout the agricultural
world.
Branch Manager Wright of the
Harvester company. when asked about
its plans for handling the additional
pillow business at Topeka, stated that
it would be carried as part of the
company's present business and that
no consideration had as yet been given
to the question of what additional ia
cilities, in the way of warehouses and
storage space. would be required.

PLEA MADE FOR THE BABIES

Feeling that the milk supply Of the
city of Topeka has not improved much
in the last year or two, instructions
governing the sale of milk have been
issued by Miss Annetta Nieoll, of the
ciyt department of fcod inspection, to
all dealers handling the supply in and
around Topeka.
This condition, l realize" says Miss
Nicoll, has been due, to a large eX-
tent, to the increased cost of produc-
ton and the great difficulty of obtain
ing competent dairy help. and we have
tried to make allowance for these con-
ditions. This summer. however. 1t
should be easier to obtain competent
help and / am hoping for much I'M
proVement in our milk
Remember" says Miss Nicoll
that you are furnishing a food to be
eaten raw, and food for helpless
babies and invalids, who are weak and
not able to cope with dirty milk as
you or I might. For the sake of these
babies, for whom the summer feeding
problem is always a struggle. won't
you make an effort to observe the
cleanest possible methoCs in handling
your milk? If you wish to try out
new methods or if you are uncertain
as to the purity of your well water. let
us make laboratory tests for you.

HER CASE NOT DISMISSED
Mrs. Mary E. Brown Must Pay Costs
of Divorce Petition.

Just throwing a paper on the desk
of the clerk of the district court which
read Comes now the above named
plaintiff in the above named case and
dismisses the action" doesn't end a di-
vorce ease. That's what Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Brown did late Tuesday aft
ernoon. On Saturday Mrs Brown
filed a sensational divorce petition
against her husband. Frank E. Brown,
a Topeka labor editor.
Before Mrs. Mary Chaplin, a clerk of
the court, could call Mrs. Brown she
had fled from the clerks office. There
are costs to pay. and. then. too. it is
now a court matter and it behooves
the court to dismiss the action. Mrs.
Chaplin has endeavored to locate Mrs.
Brown several times today. Extreme
cruelty on several different occasions
was charged by Mrs Brown in her
petition In one of the acts of cruelty
cited Mrs. Brown claimed the labor
editor was recovering from three
day drunk when he attempted to
choke her.
