MONDAY BIC DAY
Topeka Day" at Fair Decided
by Local Merchants.
Daily Band Concerts at Two
Corners on Kansas Avenue.

The Topeka Merchants association
at the meeting at the Chamber OF
Commerce this noon decided for ali
time that Monday Of free fair week
will be Topeka day and that all mer-
chants will close their stores at noon
The question of whether Topeka
stores would close any day during
free fair week had been much dis
cussed among the merchants this year
of contention. 1t was decided to thresh
out the whole matter at the meeting
today.
In addition to the Closing decision
the merchants also adopted the suS-
gestion of building band stands-one
near The State Journal building al
Eighth and Kansas avenues and the
other at Sixth and Kansas avenues.
Band concerts will be given at these
corners between $3.50 and 1870
o'clock every morning during fair
week.
The Saturday night carnival which
had been contemplated. was given up
because of the fact that a big carnival
is being planned for one night during
the reunion of the Thirty fifth diva
sion, which follows the fair. 1t was
decided to devote all the energy and
expense along this line to the reunion
of the world war veterans. Saturday
night. however. band concerts will be
given in the business district as a fare
we'll number on the free fair program.
Monday was chosen as the day to
close. because it is Derby day. and
also because there will not be so many
visitors at the fair as there will be on
the following days. This win give the
| fair association better opportunity to
take care of the home folks I'm the
proper manner. Every exhibit will be
in place Monday morning and every
part of the days program enacted. sc
that those who can only go on Mon
| day afternoon will not miss out on
anything.
Hereafter Monday of each fair week
will be Topeka day, and Topeka stores
will close. unless the Merchants as

future date

proved the plan to purchase So acres

diately on improvements and better
ments.

try club 12O acres of land together

The club also voted to make i'm
provements on the club house locker
rooms and equipment. The present
circle driveway will be eliminated and
the summer dining room will be ex-
tended to the east.
This decision of the Country club
eliminates the possibility of the
organization taking over the IL acres
of the Shawnee Golf club in High
land Park Present plans indicate the
sale of the Highland ground to the
Shawnees. The Shawnee course was
laid out by Donald Ross. noted golf
architect, and is planned for eighteen
holes altho only nine holes are being
used at this time.
Golf architects have been consulted
and will come to Topeka this fall to
lay out the Country clubs eighteen
holes The ground will be prepared
and seeded and the eighteen holes
made available for use next season.
The new land is ideal for golf II

obstacles including plenty of trees
The entire course is surrounded by
massive elms and naples. As ar

APPROVE PICKUP ORDER
Attorney General Backs Up City in
VeneraI Disease Arrests

When. a pickup order is issued by
the city health officer for the purpose
Of examining any person for Venereal
disease, it becomes the duty of the

was the opinion expressed by Attorney
General Richard J. Hopkins in let

Hopkins says he believes the city
ordinance gives the city health officer
absolute power 10 issue the order and
that it must then be acted upon. While
it does not have the same legal status
as a warrant. Hopkins said. because lit
it is not issued by court. it neverthes,

Unusual Dog.

nuSudl Dog.
Twenty ice cream cones a day and
sometimes a sirloin or porterhouse
steak to vary the monotony seems like
luxurious living for a dog. But Chief
is not an ordinary canine, otherwise
he would not have been adopted by
the members of the Workman shows.
which Will be in Topeka during Kansas
Free Fair week. September 10 to Is.
Chief is now thirteen years old. He
was at one time a clown dog. but his
master, who died while with the show,
requested on his death bed that no
one be allowed to make Chief work
again. He was given this assurance.
Chief then became the charge of
the show folk. He is really an over
grown pet. He knows every member
of the show and thru their affection
he has developed a wonderfully sweet
tooth" His favorite dish is ice cream
and of this he gets plenty, for twenty
cones a day is about the average
amount he devours.
The last official duty OF the train
master, who loads the big Workman
shows, is to see that Chief is on the
train when it moves to the next town.
Chief keeps watch with the train
Waterman while the show is on the
move and shares the night watch
