new ROTARY OFFICERS
Ralph McEntire Is Elected President
for This Year.
NEW OFFICERS OF THE TOPEKA
ROTARY CLUB.

The board of directors of the Ro-
tary club voted to take no action in
the open-shop matter, which was re-
ferred to them by a motion at the last
meeting, it was announced at a meet
ing this noon. The refusal was for
the good of the club and it's interests,
it is deemed advisable to take no
action on either side of the open shop
trouble. We feel that in our efforts
to be fair to each side, it would be
impossible for us to take an open de-
cision,"
Summer meetings will be held thru
out hot months, according to a vote
taken and passed unanimously. For
the last several years, the regular
Thursday noon meetings of the Ro-
tarians have been dispensed with dur
ing the summer months.
An annual report was made by Ce-
Gil Howes, secretary, giving the de-
tails and high lights of the club work.
ings during the past year.
Charles Eldridge, retiring treasurer,
made his annual report dealing with
the financial ends of the club bust
ness. The report was a masterpiece
of engenuity. He kidded the mem
bers about the reports turned in by
them for incidentals here and there,
and in winding up the report, showed
that the sum of $426.29 was safely
tucked away in the treasury.

When Earth's last paper is printed.
And the forms are all busted and pied,
And the youngest cub has learned wisdom,
And the oldest veteran had died,
Then we shall loaf, and Faith, she shall
need it.
Play golf for a decade or two,
Till all our vacations are over,
And we start on our duties anew.
And those who were cubs shall be mighty
They shall sit in the Governors chair,
And only the Lord in His wisdom
Shall know how they ever got there.
They shall have real stems to drink from,
Prescriptions quick to their call,
They shall sit for an age at session
And never grows thirsty at all.
And only the dealer shall call them,
Aud always the dealer shall lose.
Full houses and flushes forever,
And inexhaustible booze.
And each for the joy of his loafing,
And each in his surersix car
Shall write the things as he sees them,
And forget the things as they are

Mrs. Warwick says she took care of
him in his old age, did the cooking
and housework and kept boarders
much of the time to defray expenses.
She asserts that Warwick recently has
been taking advantage of his fathers
weakness in his old age to induce him
to deed the property to third party,
and that he has ordered her to pack
her belongings and get out within
thirty days. The time will expire
June 10, she asserts, and unless the
court interferes she will be left home
