FORM A CLEARING HOUSE.
Various Commercial Organizations
VIII Cooperate in New Plan.

Officers of the various commercial
organizations in Topeka believe that
while the time is not yet ripe for the
amalgamation of their organizations,
yet there is urgent need of co-opera-
ton between them to secure greater
efficiency and TO prevent duplication
F'or-that reason, at a meeting held
late Thursday afternoon at the Cham
Der of Commerce, it was determined
to form a clearing house of the presi-
dents and secretaries of these various
organizations, to meet at regular in
tervals. and to attack, in combination
and with definite assignments of func-
tons, the problems which come before
them.
The meeting was held at the office
Of c. c. Sickler, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce The organi-
cations which will be asked to have
representatives at the conferences
are: The Chamber of Commerce, the
Merchants association, the Topeka
Traffic association, the Topeka Credit
Bureau, the Topeka Clearing House
association, the Kansas Auto Trades
association, the Topeka Automobile
Dealers association, the Manufactur-
ers and Jobbers' association, the To-
peka Real Estate Board, the Fire In
derwriters and the Life Underwriters.
The clearing house method has been
chosen as more advisable at the pres
ent time than malgamation.

TECHNICAL ERROR -.
WILL CAUSE COUNTY
TO SELL BONDS AGAIN

Because OF an error in the adver-
tising of the issue of $4,000 OF
Anne Arundel county bonds, purchase
of which was made by the firm of
Alexander Brown and Sons, of Balti-
more, the Board of County Commits
sioners will be called upon to read
vertise the sale, and provision for this

meeting of those officials here tomor-
row.
The law authorizing the bond issue
directed that the sale should be pub
lished twice week for four weeks in
a newspaper published in Annapolis
and one newspaper published in Bal
timore city. The advertisement ap-
peared in the Evening Capital the
requisite number of times but through
an inadvertence, it was only published
in the Baltimore Sun six times, instead
OF eight. Brown and Sons, through
their attorneys. have declined to ac-
cept the bonds because Of this techni-
cality, and have so notified the Board
OF Commissioners
