"a Modern Convenience--AP Private
Luxury Which Has Become A Neces-
sity." That Is the title which appears
on the cover of an exceedingly neat
and attractive little booklet just issued
from this Office for Mr.. G. +. Newton,
the enterprising proprietor of the lola
Steam Laundry. While the book is
intended primarily, Of course, as an
advertisement, it may we'll be read for
the information it contains as IL is
given up almost entirely to a detailed
description of modern steam laun-
dry, the reader being helped to an un-
Outstanding of the text by numerous
pictures showing the machines de-
scribed. Mr.. Newton has published

A reporter for the Emporia Republi-
can recently visited the manual train
ing department of the State Normal
and in review of the work done by
the students has the following to say
of the work of Chas. Tredway, La
Harpe boy: "Tredway of LaHarpe,
pupil in manual training, made an eX-
celent model of violin and bow and
presented IL to Prof. Abbot. He has
also given chip carved, velvet lined
jewel box, made in the department, to
Mrs. w. 5. Picken. His work is very
handsome. In the clay are models
and casts worked out, training the
hand and eye to work together. This
department was added to the curricu-
lum three years ago, and as only ST.
800 has been appropriated, the work
= done makes a splendid showing for the
= small amount invested"
The two Barrackman boys from near
Humboldt who joined the FL Reno
crowd here returned with w. w.
Thrasher last week. They report that
they had no trouble in registering, in
fact they were registered about twenty
minutes after arrival. There are
= plenty of places to register and unless
the last few days brings an unusually
large crowd there will be no trouble.
The hardest proposition the boys had
. was getting out Of town as every inch
- of space on the trains is used. The
u prices charged for meals was really
reasonable, though considering the
great rush and the sleeping accomo'
dations were very good. The rest OF
Il the lola crowd will be home soon and
S if any OF them are lucky they will be
n notified by the government.
- Independence is probably having
- the same trouble as lola Judging 10y
the following from the Reporter: ''Th'
Commercial club continues to receiv,
- letters of inquiry from people who
- want to locate glass factories in thu
-. Kansas gas belt, but as they all seen
. to entertain the opinion that the PEG
Pile of Kansas are ready to build tn
~ plants and make the promoters pres
~ ents of the same, it is not likely tina
~ any glass factories will be built il
- Kansas this year. We have the cheaI
> fuel here, the railroad facilities ar
IL here also, and if there is any none,
II in the glass making business, thes
" concerns ought soon to be invading
10 the gas fields of Kansas without on
+ people being asked to furnish free gas
free water. free sites and free raw ma
terial."
