behosI authorities. Mr.. Fowler says
The school men Of the state are a unit
IN their plea for the establishment OF an
hdjunct district In every county where
there IL an approved high school. No ways

more for the Improvement of the. rural or
eemmpn schools than the establishment of
An adjunct district in every county having
an approved high school, There can be no
aoubt as 70 the authorlty OF tne county

Central Heating Plant.
Secretary Rewick Of the Commercial
club and Manager Humpe Of Lincoln Trac-
tton company returned last evening from
Topeka and st. Joe. where they went to
look into the question of a central supply
heating plant. Mr.. Rewick went on behalf
Of the club to investigate the matter from
the standpoint Of the consumer and Mr..
Humpe from the viewpoint Of the producer.
Both unite In saying that the plan has
met not only with financial success to the
companies who furnish heat, but to the
consumers.
In ST. Joseph the traction company fur
nishes the heat and in Topeka the electric
light company. They have several miles
of mains, and the rates are low enough to
make 1t a good thing for the consumer and
the company. In Topeka the charge is 30
cents per foot for radiation, and in st.
Joseph 1t is rs cents. The difference in
cost is explained by the fact that in ST.
Joseph the entire lighting, heating and
traction interests are in one company's
hands"
