for information about the law. 1t Is
necessary for the attorney general TO
interpret the meaning Of the law step
by step, as is often the case with new
and untried legislation. The tax COM
missioners have been busy Interpreting
the taxation and assessment law ever
since they took Office, and are not done
yet. The primary law will have to pc
put through similar course of treat
ment before it is hammered into shape
for common or garden use.

Topeka BOYS LOST.
Kansas City Manual High School Wins
a Fast Game.

The local high school basketball
team after running close race with
the Manual training team of
Kansas City: in the athletic
night were unable to win and took
the small end Of the score Of SO to "a.
The Topeka boys committed many
fouls and lost heavily in this manner.
They were weak in throwing goals
from the field as well, several good
chances to score being marred by a
wild heave of the ball. For the local
high school team, Hope, Ruth and
Richardson played the best game. Ruth
did especially fine work. He threw
seventeen goals from free throws.
while Hope scored almost as many
points on goals from the field. making
eight of this kind. Walworth played
an aggressive game but committed too
many fouls. Richardson wrenched his
ankle near the end Of the game and
Swearingen was put in his place.
For the Kansas City team the best
work was done by Captain High and
Gibson. The Kansas City team holds
the championship Of Kansas City and
are an unusually fast team this season,
all the players having played on the
same team a year ago. Cons equently
there Is not SO much disappointment
in the showing Of the local high school
team.
The lineup of the two teams was as
.
Hope, forwards; Carl. center; Ruth,
Richardson and Swearingen, guards.
Kansas City-Mayberry and High, for
wards; Koenigsdorf, center; Wheelock
and Gibson, guards.
The opening part of the exhibition
last night consisted of gymnasium
stunts In which about eighty girls, who
are In the high school gymnasium
classes under the direction Of Miss
Ethel Estberg, took part. One par
ticularly pleasing feature was when
thirty Of the high school lassies with
big wooden shoes did a Dutch clog
dancing stunt to the tune of real Dutch
music. The girls last night in their
different events performed fancy drills,
fancy steps, club drills, dumbbell drills
and apparatus work. Miss Estbers
was the originator of all the drills and
steps which the girls pulled off and
all of them We're cleverly executed.
What was really the best work was
done by Miss Frances Lindsey, who
cleared the bar in a high jump at a
height Of fifty-six inches.
There were over a thousand specta-
tors in the audience last night. Most
of them were high school students who
occupied seats in different portions OF
the dress circle which was deliberately
decorated with class colors for the &C.
casion. Cat calls and class yells filled
the air and it is supposed that this
encouraged the performers. The events
took place on the parquet floor, all the
seats being removed from this section
of the room.

topeka CHICKEN FARM,
Illinois Man Is Coming Here to Start
One.

With 1000 young and tender chicks
launched upon cold and cruel world
every four weeks the year round, in
close proximity to Topeka, in addition
same neighborhood, even the housewife
of average means should be enabled to
indulge in broilers occasionally.
This is the rate at which "a man from
Illinois," but formerly of this city, pro-
poses to increase the poultry census in
the near future. He Is now operating
at his home in the east, one of the best
conducted and most successful model
chicken farms in the country" general
ly recognized as such. He has fully de-
cided to come to Topeka and Is only
waiting to secure a desirable and con-
venient tract of from ten to forty acres
here to inaugurate his enterprise. It
is possible he might have located near
Kansas City, which will be an import
ant market for his output, but tracts OF
the size wanted are scarce in that
vicinity and having once dwelt in this
section of the Raw bottoms he decided
in favor of this neighborhood as his
base of operation.
On his Illinois farm he produced 1000
chicks at single hatch, and the hatch
recurs every four weeks He wants to
increase the capacity of his plant to
1900 chickens every four weeks, or
$4,000 year. which he can do here as
soon as he is fairly started. He is now
keeping on his model farm over 2,00o
hens. which he will bring with him. and
to these will add as many more, his
intention being to keep 1900 hens on
duty during the winter season. He will
also add ducks to his list Of live stock
but in what numbers is not stated
One important item which Influenced
| this man from Illinois to move his broll-
er and chicken factory to the Sunf1ower
state is the fact that he has been feed
| ing his hens Kansas alfalfa meal, for
! which he pays 50 per hundred weight
while here it will cost him but 81 pei
hundred weight. With his feed bill thus
cut in two as starter, he can wen az
! ford to double the number of his pro-
ducers He has practically decided
upon choice of tracts already and viii
probably close his deal through the
! Strauss Agency before the end of tbs
| coming week He is prepared to invest
! in this enterprise something over $1o.-
900, and will put in more; than $4,000
worth of new machinery and apparatus
| connected with the manufacture OF
| broi1ers, which will be supplied to the
| local market in such quantities as may
! be desired, and the balance shipped te
| Kansas City and other nearby points
He will also bring with him two fam
J flies who have been employed on his
model farm in Illinois and who viii

Industrial Plants Steadily De-

Cos Weekly Review of Trade says:
Industrial plants steadily decrease
the percentage of idle machinery. es-
pecially in the steel business which
increases the size of payrolls and by
raising the purchasing power of the
wage Garner improves retail trade.
Thus far progress is slow in wholesale
and jobbing departments, but as re-
tail stocks are depleted there is more
disposition to place orders for spring
goods Reports are still irregular,
some sections of the country recover
ing much more rapidly than others.
and few interior cities record BUSH
ness even better than at this time last
year.
Each week more contracts are
placed for steel than in the week
proceeding, and conservative buying
or the last few months has made the
statistical position strong.
Bradstreet's.
BradStreets says: Buyers of
spring goods are more in evidence
this week at all markets responding
TO the advance of the season, and job
bling trade evinces more vim than
at any time since last autumn. In
no case however, is the buying re-
ported as equal to year ago, and in
some cases the decreases are very
heavy. The easing off in prices of
staples shown in January has gone
further this week. Reports as to the
various industries are conflicting,
more being reported doing in some
instances with numerous assumptions
of full time noted. Despite the stand
of union labor wage reductions are
being reported, while the number of
unemployed is probably the largest of
the winter.
Collections are still backward being
especially slow at the south, where
much cotton is being held. Building
was at a low ebb in January and this
reflected in easy prices for labor.

No Wheeled Traffic.

In the northeastern corner of France,
in the Pas-de-Calais department, there
is stretch of country which possesses
practically no roads. This region, lying
between st. Omer and the Belgian
frontier, is traversed in every direc-
ton by canals. which serve as a means
of communication between the different
centers of population. The people use
skiffs, not unlike Venetian gondolas.
and in these they glide silently to field
and market. The village cure makes
his round of visits by water, the very
horses have to be taken by boat to and
from the fields in which they work,
and 1t Is no uncommon occurrence for
q risky animal to kick out, overbal-
ance the frai1 craft and precipitate its
occupants into the water. It is a re-
gion of perpetual peace, q country of
eternal calm, where the noise of wheel
ed traffic is unknown, where the motor
horn is never heard. A frequent sight
in these narrow waterways is a funeral
procession. The coffin is placed on a
couple of chairs and is covered with
a cloth. The nearest relatives of the
deceased sit behind the coffin, friends
follow in other boats, and the priest
recites his prayers while the little cort-
eye makes its way slowly to the burial
place.-London Graphic.
