month. He says he can show the To-
cations of each of the. two hundred.
This record is said to be better than
any reported by real estate firms for
any previous fall.
Other real estate men alsa report a
large number of houses being rented
and sold and are busy great deal of
the time answering inquiries about
North side property and looking up
prospective renters and buyers. Other
business men say trade is better than
ever before.
1t is noticeable that there is much
improving going on this fall, several
homes are being remodeled and being
made entirely modern. This is one of
the needs of the North side. Such
measures will doubtless add to the de-
STABILITY of the First ward as a resi-
dence section.
Because they heard of others doing
the same, Miss Hazel Fulton and Mr..
H S. Welton, employees of the Union
Pacific freight office. walked to. Law
renee, distance of nearly twenty
eight miles, in about eleven hours Sum
day. They left Topeka at Sis a. m.
and arrived in Lawrence at 4:45 p. m.
A little later they boarded a Union Pa
cific home and thus returned to To-
peka.
On the foot journey, according to
their statements, not a stop was made
until noon when about half of the trip
had been made. After a short time
for lunch, the journey was resumed.
1--WE do not feel a bit tired now"
said Miss Fulton this morning. I'VE
started in the cool of the day and went
as far as Granville by the wagon
road. Then we took the railroad
grade to Lawrence. I'll admit that the
last mile between here and Lawrence
seemed very long, but we walked it
without a stop, covering that home
stretch in about fifteen minutes. When
we arrived at the busy city of Law
renee, I imagined how Cook must
have felt when he reached the North
pole. No, neither of US had ever taken
4 long hike before
Mr.. Welton told a like story, but
after a woman has talked, what has
man left to say, anyway?
