PLAN PLAYGROUND
Vacant Lots in Topeka To
Be Utilized.
Problem Is Taken Up by Head
of PrOvident Association.

Many Topeka children are at a loss
to find something to do on hot sum-
mer evenings. They are children who
have no home yard to play in and
some of them have no front porch.
What's a "fella" going to do, if he's
about eight or ten or maybe twelve
and likes to play around in the eve
nings but has not a place in the world
to play? He will play in the streets,
of course.
The problem of children who play
in the streets, who live too far from
Fairgrounds or parks to have any ad-
vantage of them but who have the
natural desire to play until dark, has
been concerning Miss Virginia Camp
bell. secretary of the Provident asso-
citation. There are children in many
parts of Topeka who are in great need
of place to play from Z until o'clock
in the evenings.
Vacant lots in the city are to be
utilized in providing such Fairgrounds,
Miss Campbell said, thru arrangement
with W S. Hancock, city street COM
missioner.
No Place to Play.
fright around the Provident asso-
citation there are dozens of children
who have no place to play" Miss
Campbell said. I'VE want to use va
cant lots somewhere in this vicinity
for the purpose. We also may have
such Fairgrounds in North Topeka and
on the East side"
T. d. Williams, Shawnee county pro-
baton officer. is also greatly interested
in the vacant lot playground idea. He
is anxious to have volunteers for su-
pervisors of such Fairgrounds, as it
will be Impossible to allow such places
without supervision. A chance for serv-
ice of worthy nature is offered those
who will volunteer as supervisors, as
no salary is offered for the work. Su-
pervisors will be needed from Z until
o'clock each evening, except Sunday.
Volunteers should apply to T. D. Will
Iiams at the Shawnee county court
house. The teaching of games of only
the simpest kind will be expected of
supervisors.
To Provide Equipment.
If the vacant lot playground plan IS
materialized to the fullest, some equip
ment will be provided on each play
ground, including sand piles for the
little tots. Miss Campbell said.
II have found children playing in
the alleys in the evenings" Miss Camp
bell said. II have found crowds of
children playing from until 9 o'clock
in the evenings at our Gage play
ground Fourth and Van Buren,, with
no supervisor. I have seen motor cars
miss children so narrowly in the no.
playground, no front yard districts.
and all these things urge the need of
doing something for such children"

TO PAY PART OF SECURITIES
Aeceptanccs Issued by Lcfferdink Will
Not Hold Preferred Rank.

Acceptances issued by the defunct
Kansas State bank of Salina will be
handled as recognized liabilities of the
bank, but will not hold rank of pre-
ferred accounts or be subject to drafts
on the state bank guaranty fund. That
was the opinion today of prominent
Kansas bankers following Saturdays
decision by the supreme court.
Scare head displays placed over
stories of the Salina bank decision
threw a scare in the ranks of the
bankers. They were led to believe
that the bank guaranty fund would
be made to pay the acceptances in full.
Instead no direct payments of the &C
ceptancces will be made from the
fund, which will share only on the
basis of the banks natural liqidation.
If the bank should pay so or rs per
cent of its liabilities thru disposition
of assets, holders of the acceptances
would share in this distribution. De-
pOsitors of the bank, tho. would be
recognized as preferred claimants, and
would receive from the guaranty fund
a sufficient amount to cover their ac-
counts in full The acceptance
said to total $3.50. 0O0-were issued by
Cashier Lefferdink, and. according to
the Interpretation of bankers who
have studied the supreme court opin-
ion, are not preferred accounts. They
were signed by the bank cashier, but
there was no showing that money
from sale of these securities went into
the funds of the bank.

JOIN THE LEGION.

The sole aim of the Legion is ser
vlce-service to community, state
and country; service to humanity.
It's first thought was of its disabled
comrades and the dependents of those
who made the supreme sacrifice.
Legion members are from every
branch in the service, from those who
were forced to remain at home to
men who won the congressional medal
at Chateau-Thierry and in the Ar
gonne. 1t includes all ranks, from
private to general. Rank, however,
counts for nothing in Legion post
Most officers are former privates and
non-commissioned officers. F. w. Gal
braith, Jr., National Commander
served in every rank, from private to
colonel, during his military history
The Legion bylaws forbid the desig-
nation in Legion meeting of form
er officers by their erstwhile military
titles.
With its two million members the
Legion is, of course, the largest or
ganization of American former serv-
ice men. There must be some gooC
reason to account for it's marvellous
growth. Legionnaires believe that
it lies in its history. Former service
men are greatly indebted to the Lee
gion for number of accomplish
ments in the less than two years OF
its eXistance.
1t obtained the passage by Con
gress of the Sweet bill, which raised
the compensation paid totally dis
abled veteran from $50 to $50 pei
month. Think of it! A bedridden in
valid, unable to earn a penny, only
receiving $50 a month to live on.
Isn't it worth while to belong to a
body which corrects an injustice like
that?
Through cooperation with the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, it has guided
tens of thousands of veterans, re-
CARELESS Of Legion membership,
through the mazes of red tape and OBJ
tanned compensation for them and
their dependents. Not a bad way
to help out a buddy, this Legion
membership. The Legion fought for
the man who is not member as
well as for Legionnaires in this and
all other cases. Is there and selfish
ness in this?
Every veteran in Iberia Parish is
earnestly urged to join The Ameri-
can Legion. IBERIA POST No. is
$50 strong and invites you cordially
to join at once. The annual dues are
only $500. Applications should be
submitted to the Post Adjutant, C.
Dudley LeMaire, Hotel Frederic, New
