MAY ADOPT NEW PLAN.
Likely That Kansas Prison Irvine Plant
Will Follow Minnesota Lead.

Warden J. K. Codding of the state
penitentiary has returned from trip
of inspection of the Minnesota prison
and an investigation Of the manner in
which that institution successfully con-
ducts it's Irvine plant He held a con-
ference with Governor Stubs and sub
mitted for official endorsement the Min
nesota plan to be applied in Kansas.
This plan is to furnish the Irvine to
dealers in every community instead OF
selling direct from the prison. Where
a dealer cannot be found to handle the
Irvine a farmers club will be organized.
The dealers will be given credit until
November of each year for the twine-
Then the additional plan agreed upon to
make the Irvine plant at Lansing sue
cess is to undersell the trust. 1t is fig
ured, based on present trust prices and
the cost of production at the prison,
that the state Irvine plant can undersell
the trust 95 cents to one dollar on the
hundred pounds of Irvine.
Speaking of the result of his trip
Warden Codding said:
Minnesota has tried this plan with
remarkable success. The Irvine plant
there is a source of great revenue to the
state. 1t has earned clear profits Of
two million dollars in the last few
years. 1t has made and sold millions
Of pounds of Irvine. The farmers use
the Irvine in preference to the trust
Irvine. I believe they will do the same
thing here if it is placed before them
properly. They will be able to get 1t al
most dollar a hundred pounds cheap
er than they can get the trust Irvine
and believe that the prison made
Irvine is superior to the trust twine.'
TT looks like a good thing to me-"
said the governor. Mr. Codding ana
I have gone over this plan thoroughly
and / fail to find any fault with it. He
has been over 1t with the attorney gen.
eral. 1 believe it will greatly increase
the sales OF Irvine at the penitentiary
plant and that that plant will become a
source of revenue to the state"

MIR. JUs1Is MAKES APPEAL.
Asks for Help on Behalf of the Needy
Poor.

Appeals to the people of Topeka to
assist in making Christmas a happy
one for the poor of the municipality
are being extended by the Provident
association through the secretary, Guy
T. Justis. who has issued the follow
ing statement to the press:
I'VE are hoping to make this the
most Merry Christmas that the poor
of the city have ever experienced. In
deed we are so busy making plans for
it and in caring for the other work of
the association that we haven't time
to go out and solicit funds to pay the
expenses. Yesterday there were 3S
people who were waited upon at the
office besides three investigations and
four calls that were made outside,
and that is but sample of what
every dav has been since the cold
weather set in.
However, we have not forgotten
that Christmas is but ten days off and
are planning for it, The various
committees will see that the seventy
mothers and the hundred and seventy
five boys and girls who belong to the
association, clubs and classes have a
jolly good time. We also shall see to
it that every unfortunate boy and girl
and family in the city as far as our
knowledge goes is remembered. We
have the records of over three hun
dred and fifty families on file, all of
which have been carefully in
vestigated and from which we select
those that in our judgment should re-
ceive attention at this time
I'VE do not want to do all the work
ourselves. 1t is impossible for one
organization to look after even fifty
families at such a time and do it in
te11igently. The Topeka Proyident as
ISOLATION belongs to Topeka. It gives
its entire time ministering to those In
need Irrespective of color or con-
dition.. and to the prevention of
poverty. All the funds that it re-
ceives are spent in Topeka spent I'M
der the direction of some of the lead
ing business and professional men of
the city composing its board of direc-
tors and in its annual report shows
where every cent was used.
"It is the connecting link between
the rich and the poor. the medium
through which over ninety per cent of
the charity of the city passes. 1t is
a public servant and as such should
serve the rich as we'll as the poor. SO
If you feel prompted to do some
charitable act, Il you want to send a
