instead of there being thousands of
mechanics out of employment seeking
work, it is now the skilled Iaborer that

In Topeka there are several reasons
for the scarcity of competent worknen

case, however, but bumper crops in
Kansas have been the cause of a gen

the state as whole. with the result
that there are no skilled workmen on
the idle list.
The existing state of affairs has re-

completion of a large portion of the i'm

contractors have had their troubles

is delay in getting the specified stone

difficulties. In a good many instances

Building is going on throughout
the city to an extent which one can
hardly realize unless he makes the
rounds. 1t is not only the wel1-to-do
class of people who are enjoying new
homes but the building activity ex-
tends to the shop and other dis
tricts. In the shop district alone it
has been estimated that twenty
new houses have been built during
the past sixty days. The time of year
is not causing an abatement in opera
lions as shown by the building per-
mits issued and the statements of the
contractors and real estate men.
During the past week ground has
been broken for a number of modern
dwellings. The Clearinghouse Realty
Co, reports the following building
operations: The completion of five
room modern dwelling at 1712 Har
rison street which has been sold to
Roy Shelter; the nearing completion
of 7-room, $1,000 house at 1901

most astounding enigmas Of history
About the greatness and goodness of
the man there is no room for dispute;
that he really corrupted or attempted
to corrupt the Athenian youth, as was
charged against him by the prosecu-

that he in no way deserved the death
that came to him is universally con-
ceded. And yet the foremost people
on earth in intellectual accomplish

$200,000,O00. Perhaps the inability of
