|LAUDS ALL ATTEMPTS TO
LEAD THE HIGHER LIFE
Rev. Robert j. Burdette DWells on
Efforts Put Forth Toward True
Spirited Charity

In his evening sermon at the Tenn
pie Baptist church the pastor, Rev.
Robert j. Burdette, speaking on the
Christ Life" in connection with the
concerted movement of all the MEM
bers of the s. Y. P. u. in the United
States to 'live like Jesus" for two
weeks. praised this effort to live the
highest Christian life and said:
at is not a new thing. Again and
again our young people have held con-
secration meetings, have prayed for
grace to live the higher life and have
earnestly and devotedly tried to live
the Christ life. But this a great,
united effort, deep, intense, devoted.
LET everybody enter into it. 1t need

The day of bargain counter prices
in connection with Topeka real es-
tate is already a thing of the past.
During the past two years the prop
erty values have taken a leap up
wards, and every indication points to
continued upward trend. Ten per
cent is a conservative estimate of the
advance in prices during the present
year. To be sure there are a few
small localities within the city's
bounds where the upward tendency
has not been particularly marked,
but in some cases prices have scared
skyward at a marvelously rapid pace.
Years ago in the boom days almost
fabulous sums of money were paid
for real estate and the market was
inflated to such an extent that when
the crash came the sting of it all was
so firmly lodged in the minds of over
sanguine victims of the land craze,
that 1t took years to get over the
shock.
ION account of these disappoint-
ments,' said one real estate dealer in
explaining the fact that lower prices
have prevailed in Topeka than is
usually the case in cities of this size,
1.-THE old settlers have been rather
slow in boosting the town. There has
never been a systematic effort made
to advertise Topeka properties in 9TH
er sections of the country.
1--WE have been satisfied with mod
est prices ana nave Deen glad to see
our city grow with a sure but safe
stride.
Prices Climb Steadily.
1.-THE tendency has been to keep
values down instead of forcing them
upwards The day for low prices.
however, is a thing of the past. 1t is
wonderful the way the price of lots
has gone up during the past six
months. It is the biggest advance in
years, but the strongest evidence that
there is no boom is the fact that with
the scores of new houses which have
sprung up. in every locality there are
fewer vacant houses in the city to-
day than at any time in the past
three years.
improvements An Over City.
Among the portions of the city
where there has been a decided ad-
vance in real estate values might be
mentioned the southwestern section
of the city where two or three lots
have been sold at profit of 800 in
a very short time, the Potwin dis
trict where many properties have
changed hands and houses of sub
stantia1 structure have sprung into ex-
istence; the Santa Fe shops district
which now fairly brist1es with new
homes; the South Side on account of
the general improvements which have
been, and are being made; portions of
the North Side where there is general
confidence in the ability of the dixie
and extension of the Melan bridge to
prevent further ravages by flood; Au-

Joseph E. Ransiell, of Louisiana,
president of the National Rivers and
Har5ors congress, second in impor-
lance only to the congress of the
United States, with vice presidents,
directors and members in every state
and territory in the Union, says this
in letter to r. Insinger, chairman
of the local board of control of the
Seventeenth National Irrigation con-
gress, which will meet in Spokane

1--WE feel an especial interest in
thu improvement of our naviga5le
waters and the prevention of floods
by improvements of levees, and 1t
seems to me you can very we'll take
up the question of navigable streams,

We shall be glad to assist yo1 n
any way in our power.
Congressman Victor Murdoch of
Kansas, a member of the committee
on the postoffice and post roads, says
in his letter that Kansas must in
the future be chiefly interested in
any proposition looking to the irri-
CATION that deals with the applica-
ton of water on the high plans,
which present difficulties unlike thise
of other sections, adding:
Until a cheaper method of rails
ing water is found, western Kansas
must look to the creation OF ssome
reservoir system which will conserve
flood waters I would suggest that
the utilization of food waters for
the high plains be given place upon
your program and that the subject
be assigned to an expert
Congressman Frank W. Mondell,
of Wyoming, chairman of the COM
mittee on the public lands, writes:
"'The work of the national govern
