To ADVERTISE Topeka
sixty-FIye BiIIboards Have Been
Spoken fcr by Topeka Merchants.


With sixty-five billboards already
spoken for, the success of the CAM
paign for the advertising of Topeka
and Topeka merchants by billboards
in a trade territory covering sixteen
counties surrounding Topeka, is as
sured, Milton Tabor, SECRETARY of the
Topeka Merchants association, said
today.
THE billboards will cover a terri
tory in which there live 375,000 peo-
ple." Tabor said. There is. on an
average, one automobile to every
seven persons in the territory. This
means that the billboards are bound
to be seen by every one, unless they
stay strictly at home. There is no
doubt that the boards will attract the
attention of the people In a general
way, and will supplement the detailed
advertising in the newspapers. Our
idea is to get people, instead of sitting
down and writing an order to some
mail order house, to get in the car
and come to Topeka, and the bill
boards are going to do it,
The boards are to be erected and
maintained, under the direction of the
Merchants association, at a less cost
than billboards have ever been used
by Topeka merchants before. They
are to be uniform in design, with the
name of the merchant by whom they
are leased, and the name of Topeka,
given equal prominence, so that the
city In general, as well as the mer-
chants, will be thoroly advertised

TO REVISE LEAGUE
President Harding's Nations
ASSN Plan Is Outlined.
Would Use Supreme Council as
Nucleus for Idea.

Washington, June 20.-A diplomatic
report giving a rough outline of an
Association of nations plan, purported
to be favored by President Harding,
has gone to two South American re-
publics, it was learned today.
The two governments asked their
representatives for a report on the
Harding assoc alton. The salient fea-
lures of the plan were:
The association would have no writ
ten constitution.
It would function thru a council of
representatives of member nations
whose decision would be advisory
rather than binding.
The present allied supreme council
could be used as a nucleus for the as
sociation. The associations plan calls
Tor an international law court but
without compulsory arbitration of dis
putes and without penalties for failure
to abide by the courts judgment
The word that such diplomatic re-
ports have been sent closely follows in
formation that an association of ma
Hons has been put on paper.
Harding has not worked out all of
the details OF his plan. the diplomats
reported, but they expressed the con-
Viction that he will base suggestions
Tor an association solely on the CO.
operation between members for
world policy OF good fellowship and
mutual helpfulness.

but no fewer than 23,795 persons were

in official statistics.
The figures are far in excess of
those for 1918 Norway's fjords and

for smuggling which has become a
