FURNISH 1000 HOMES.
To Topeka People by the Shawnee
Building Il Loan Association.

During the year 1909 the Shawnee
Building & Loan Association has as
sisted over 100 families to build or
purchase homes for themselves and
over 100 more families will spend a
nerrier Christmas than any previous
yule tide.
Santa Claus will visit over 1000
families in Topeka tonight who have
made the start to secure a home and
accumulate a little account for the
rainy day through the agency of the
Shawnee Building & Loan Association.
There are those in the city who have
been unable to secure the little deli
cacies and tokens which add cheerful
ness to the day simply because they
are furnishing the landlord and his
family the necessary funds.
The happiness of Christmas should
not be measured by money solely but
the sincerity with which one indicates
his good will to family and friends.
What better indication of genuine
solicitude for the immediate family,
than securing home. To those who
have made the start to save a portion
of their salary with home in view, to
those who vii. enjoy the homes al
ready provided, the Shawnee Building
& Loan Association extends hearty
greeting and hope to extend the same
to many more families at this time
next wear.

SHY ON ELEPHANTS.
Cuban Planter Refuses to Accept
Shipment of Machinery.

New York, Dec. 24.-The scarcity
of elephants in Cuba has caused a
Cuban planter to refuse TO accept a
shipment of machinery delivered to
his order by New York firm. The
contract called for light machinery
that could be packed inland on mules,
but the plaintiffs complaint recites
that when the crates arrived, they
could only be carried by elephants.
When the case came up in couft
here, the defense argued that the
planters real grievance was the fall
ure of his crop to realize more than
10000 pounds when he had expected
100000.
