The Cadmean chautauqua entertainment
given under the auspices of the North To-
peka Civic club at Garfield park, which
closed a six day session last night, was a
success, according to the management, who
expressed the greatest satisfaction with the
results. A meeting was held last evening
when arrangements were made to repeat
the chautauqua here next year. Further
details will be arranged at a meeting to be
held this evening.
Patrons of the chautauqua were unani-
nous in praise of the high class of enter
tainment, offered by the Cadmean manage
ment.

financial result of the entertainment Will

SHOWS AUTO TAG PROFIT

81 The Minnesota tax on an automobile
about equals the price Of q good tire
for the car licensed. The tax revenue
this year will yield approximately
$500, 600 to the trunk highway fund.
The benefit from wise expend iture Of
that. large sum and other money for
trunk highway maintenance and Inn
proYements IN the state certainly is
worth the price Of one tire q season:
it will add fully % per cent to the mile
age from each Of the four tires on his 1

Inc. G. II GustafsOn, president Of the

are being incorporated in the prelim-

growers and the Equity Cooperative
exchange. The intention, he said, was
to provide for use Of the elevators and
terminal facilities Of the Equity for
grain controlled by the q. s. Grain
Growers, the grain to remain under the
direction and control of the national
corporation while being marketed thru
the physical properties of the Equity.
The tentative contract, he said, would

to acquire the properties of the Equity
at the expiration Of certain period
Of time to be agreed on.
