Athletic Events, Ball Games sad Coa-eerls Will Be Given' aad Basket Lach Soe the Featarea. The Labor day celebration to held byj the.

Topeka Industrial; Council on Septenv ber 4 will not be held in Kansas City in conjunction with the labor celebration at that place, as was partially planned, but Garfield park. For several days the committee in charge of the celebration were undecided to where the big-annual labor celebration would be held, on account of labor differences with the management of Vine-wood park, and the then apparent impossibility of procuring? airfield park. Members of the committee in charge of the celebration had gone so far as to negotiate with the Rock Island for a special train to carry the union men and their friends and families to Kansas City. When the story of the proposed removal of the labor celebration to Kansas City was published in the Capital, certain Topeka merchants took steps to induce the committee in charge of the celebration to keep it at home. Last night- final arrangements were made with the Cocoa Cola company, lessees of Garfield park, to hold the celebration there.

The' park le.sseess convinced the celebration committee that Garfield park was the most suitable place In the city for the event, and the final arrangements were made. It is the intention "of Topeka Industrial Council to make this year's celebration the largest one of its kind that has been held in Topeka for years. The grass in Garfield park Is fresh and green again, the big trees shade as much as ever, the boating is fine and the plans for labor day outing will have a beautiful spot in which tot be materialized." Prominent speakers will be engaged to speak to ihe union men. J- Marshall's band' will give concerts all day long and there will be plenty of baseball games. The athletic events will be more interesting than at any previous celebration.

At the last labor day celebration there were thirty-four athletic events and this year the committee in charge of the picnic is plan- ning for at least fifty. Special arrangements will be made for the entertainment of children and there will be an all day basket dinner. The celebration will i not be exclusively for members, of labor, organizations and their families, but the general public and those In charge of the celebration are sending out invitations generally. Here are the members of the various trade unions who were appointed on the committee in charge of the celebration: W. M.

Stewart, city electrical inspector, yesterday received a letter which is an informal report of the New York Underwriters on the electrical construction In Topeka. The letter is signed by T. C. B. Snell, who made the inspection here about two weeks ago for the Underwriters' association.

Chief among the things which are complimented by Mr. Snell are the accurate methods of keeping records in Inspector Stewart's department. The requirements the city makes of the electrical contractors also pleased the underwriter. His leading suggestion Is that the city require as many as possible of the wires in the business districts to be placed underground. The suggestion is made not only that the beauty of the streets may te increased, but that fire fighting may be made less dangerous and greatly facil itated as welL InsDector Stewart declare! vtrAav 1 that on account of the lack of laws to compel the laying wires in conduits many, are now strung overhead.

"Some of the wires of the telephone companies." he said, "now are underground, being laid in conduits in the alleys of Kansas avenue. Still there is little advantage in the arrangement so far as fire fighting is concerned because at short intervals wires are lead up from the ground to poles where they spread in a network on all sides to business buildings. What we need is an ordinance requiring all wires of that kind- to be run through loops along the walls of the buildings. Now it would be difficult for fireman to raise ladders at any place in either of the Kansas avenue alleys. "Also there are many wires strung over the tops of business buildings.

These should be removed. Should fireman attempt to work from the tops of these buildings at night they would be hampered considerably, as well as running a dangerous risk of falls."

TAIKO WADA HAS MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE DOG Talko Wada, the little Jap, who paid the dog tax on his faithful doy in order to get him out of the city pound writes the following communication to "Sir Editor of the Dally Capital:" "Sir: I wish to tell you (for dog tax) Aug. 17-1911. Dog catcher men came in my yard with wagon few days ago.

"My dog found them and cried out from inside of house. Because dog never go outside. "Dog catchers come and show me dog office mark. Therefore I payd dog tax $7.00 soon. Dog is released.

"I work at 11 a. m. and 11 p. m. every days in this city? "Somebody said dog tax Is male $1.00 female $3.00 for a year." This is right.

Aug. 18." Editor of "Printers' Ink" How many readers of this paper are PERSONALLY with President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt, or many other public characters? Only a SMALL PROPORTION, at the most. -Yet it is safe to say that ALL the readers of this paper FEEL that they know President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt, anda host of other public characters very welL Because they have often READ ABOUT THEM IN THIS PAPER. And the oftener they have read about them, the more familiar this acquaintanceship seems. This same thing Is true of MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE.

They become well-known public characters because the people READ THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE PAPERS. And the oftener they advertise, the better the peole get to know them. In every city there are merchants who enjoy this ADVERTISING-ACQUAINTANCESHIP with the thousands of readers of the local papers. People go to the stores of these merchants as they would visit the HOUSE OF A FRIEND. They feel they are WELCOME there.

Yet very few of these people may know these merchants personally often they do not even know them by sight. But these merchanta have TALKED Two Commissioners Present Yesterday Could Not Agree Upon- Appropriation for Charitable Institutions. OTHERS AGREED UPON Formal Order May Wait Until MondayCounty Levy Will Be About 2.8 Mills Is Up to Shimer. On accoup of the absence from the regular meeting of the county board yes terday of Commissioner James C. Shlmer, and the Inability of Comissioners Frank B.

Simms and EL L. O'Neil to agree upon an appropriation for charity institutions, the formal order fixing the tax levy for 1911 was not made yesterday and may not be made until the regular meeting of the board next Every item of the proposed levy was agreed upon except a special levy for the beenfit of the Provident association and the tuberculosis camp. On this the two commissioners present could not agree and it will be up to Shimer to break the deadlock. O'Neil Is in favor of appropriating the turn of $225 a month, or $2,700 a year to each of the institutions. Simms is opposed to this move.

proposed appropriation would mean a total of 55,400 out of the county fund, or an additional levy of a little less than .1 of a mill. Whether or not this appropriation is made will depend a great deal on whether a levy for county purposes of 2.7 or 2.8 mills is made. With this appropriation it is probable that the higher levy will have to be made, or at least that the levy will be 2.75. The figures practically settled upon, in comparison with the figures last year, are as follows: 1910 levy Fund. mills.

General revenue 1-22 Bond, interest and sinking .40 Permanent road .23 1911 levy mills. 1.30 .50 Charity .1 Totals 1.85 2.70 The general revenue fund is expected to raise In the vicinity of $100,000, making allowances for failures to make collections. The proposed levy for the permanent road fund will raise about $60,000, also making allowance for delinquencies, and the proposed levy for interest and sinking fund will raise in the vicinity of $40,000. The small levy for the charity fund, proposed this year for the first time, will raise a little less than $8,000 in actual money. In case an appropriation is made for the charitable institutions it mav be necessary to increase this amount.

So far Mr. Shimer, whose vote is need ed to break the deadlock in the charity aDDroDriatlons proposed, has stayed out of the discussion. Simms has urged that if the appropriation is made this year every charitable institution in the coun ty will comply with the law next year and come before the board asking for an appropriation again boosting the tax rate. O'Neil believes the appropriation should' be made. Simms at least offered a compromise to the effect that $50 a month might be appropriated to the two institutions out of the general revenue fund without hurting very but O'Neil stood" out for his proposed $5,400 for the two institutions.

It is now up to Shlmer to settle the question, and nobody knows which way he will vote. Buy It now. Now is the time to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is almost certain to be needed before the summer is over. This remedy has no For sale by all dealers.

By JOHN IRVING ROMER, TO THEM THROUGH THE NEWSPAPERS for years, told them of their business principles, about the goods they were offering for sale, kept their names constantly before them, and in this way established an actual acquaintanceship On the other hand, there are merchants in every city who are STRANGERS to the great majority of their townspeople These are the merchants who DON'T ADVERTISE In the local papers. They have refused to come out into the newspapers and make the acquaintance of the people of their cities. These merchants expect the people to COME TO THEM. Still they wonder why their business doesn't grow.

They can not understand why the people seem inclined to trade with their competitors who ADVERTISE. worthy merchants of this city who do not advertise are DOING AN 1NUSTICB TO THEMSELVES AND TOJ iu nsrisvvLJZ. Their goods and values may be better than their competitor's, but people do not like to trade with strangers. Let these merchants break down the barrier of reserve they have set up.
