each Of the 100 members Of the Sunday
school, to be used as talents TO raise money
to pay the cost Of frescoeing the walls Of the
church and making other repairs Sun
day eighty Of the members turned over
their pennies, along with $1S7. 81, and
were highly praised for their earnest work
by Superintendent Dempsey.
On the Friday night previous they met
in the Sunday school room and told Of how
they had invested the pennies to turn them
into dollars. Some said that they bought
peanuts, candy and pies and sold them
over, while others bought fruit and with
the proceeds purchased various other arti-
oles which they sold. There are yet forty
pennies to be turned in by members and ii
is expected that the sum will be about

TWO new CARRIERS.
Adds to Force to Ac-
commodate TopeIxa's Growth.

The rapidly increasing size of the
city and the added population has
necessitated an expansion of the mail
delivery service and resulted in the
appointment of two additional mail
carriers, the authorization for which
was received Thursday by A. K.
Rodgers. postmaster.
Robert IS. Neal and Calvin S. Prid-
dy, substitute mail carriers have been
promoted and made regular mails car
SO carriers. The appointment Of sub
stitute carriers viii be made from
the eligible list.
That the service will be further
augmented by additional appointments
in the near future is confidently ex-
pected. The postoffice inspector max
ing the inspection of Topeka and re-
porting on its needs has stated to First
Assistant Postmaster General Hitch
cock that portion OF the city now
receiving but one delivery Of mail a
day is entitled to two and Mr.. Hitch
cock is inclined to report favorably on
the recommendation made by the
postoffice inspector.
The carrier routes will be redistrict-
ed on September LIST, and the city de-
livery will be extended to as much Of
new territory recently annexed to the
city as has complied with the re-
quirements Of the regulations and car
riers can serve effectively in eight
hours.
"A number of the people who have
been receiving but one delivery a day
will receive two from now on under
the increase to the carrier force" said
Mr. Rodgers. I'VE expect to redis-
trict the entire city and make a num-
Der of changes in the routes. The
routes in the business section of the
city will practically remain the same
though these lines may be changed a
little. The changes In the redistrict-
ing Of the routes In the other portions
of the city will, however, not alter the
manner in which the carriers report
for duty. Two carriers will report
at stations B and c just the same as
before and three from station A and
North Topeka.
The new appointees will report to
this office and start out from here.
1.-The fact is that the city has
grown SO rapidly with newly acquired
additions that the increase in the
force was absolutely imperative.
'eWoodlawn and Orchard Grove and
these other new additions had to be
provided for. They are building up
and the delivery service had to be ex-
tended to them"
