When a farmer sows his
oats one day he don't ex-
pect to 60 out and harvest
his crop the next. When
afarmer's son goes to the
city and sows his wild oats,
he don't often raise a full
crop the next minute. 1t
often happens in the case
of the farmers oats or
his sons oats that the
farmer has to raise money
on his expected crop, and
has to make a mote" OF it.
1t takes time to get results
from anything, and the bet
ter the sowing is done the
better the harvest be. We've
been sowing seed for the
past three years. We've
sown GOOD seed on GOOD
ground. We've sown good
seed by writing fire insur-
ance policies signed by the
presidents of Americas and
England's strongest COM
panies. Let us write your

Biddle creek again demands atten-

weeks just past the creek has over
flowed wells, cellars, cisterns and lawns
on the East side of town. and the peO-
pie living near it have risen in protest
which was laid before the council last
night. The streets and walks commit
tee has been instructed to again take
the matter u9. 1t is believed that a
considerable amount of the surface
drainage which causes the overflow of
the creek can be diverted into the
Shunganunga at Sixth and Eighth
streets.
What promised to become the basis of
a dispute between the city and the To-
peSa Railway company, the presence of
the ear line on Eighteenth street in
South Topeka in such a position as to
seriously interfere with drainage, ap-
pears to have been disposed of
amicably. Vice President L. z. Myers
of the street car company has agreed
to take the tracks off of ToOeka ave-
nue. and put them on Harrison street.
This, it is believed. will avert further
trouble with surface water which has
made trouble along the tracks after the

checker the fertile prairies of Nebraska,
Kansas and the territories, climb by
winding grade and easy ascent the
mountain regions that they may be-

their Businesses may be penetrated,
their scenic grandeus turned into
wealth. their atmosphere to health and
their hidden jewels brought forth to en-
rich the realm. Oil roads to move with
care the luscious fruits of California,
and substantial roads from the lumber
camps of the Pacific-northwest. Roads
that will attract the latest modern i'm

value of our lands, increase the comfort
Of our homes, add to our commercial

beautify our country, and surpass even
England and France in the magnificence
of our highways. Let this inspiration
