Three Divorces Turned Out by
Wheels Of Justice.
City's Oldest Lawyer Reunites
Couple Recently Separated.

Not the Doctor But Egg Farmer
From st. Marys.
Johnson Went to Wichita; His
Wife Asks Release.

Items of interest in Topeka's divorce
circles today, included three new divorces
and one patched UP and set aside. Joe
Baldwin, Topeka's oldest lawyer, now in
his S3rd year and still in practice, report
ed the patch-up. And he seemed ticlled
to do it. The little old lawyer has seen
the best there is in life and some of the
worst of 1t. He was elated to secure the
divorce of Emma ]. Wilson from Harry
G. Wilson on January because it was
successful case and because he freed the
girl. Today he was just as happy to say
they were reunited and that he wanted
the court set aside the divorce decree
he had obtained. The reconciliation was
acknowledged and the order granted by
the court.
Rosa Ernst. a poor working. girl of To-
last June with Anthony A. Ernst, a
cook from st. Marys and married him
there, was awarded liberty today. She
testified that her labors did not cease with
the marriage vow but were rather ag-
gravated. She and her cook went to
Wyoming to work in a Union Pacific eat
ing house and remained there five weeks.
Then they returned to Topeka and the
cook left for parts unknown. Mrs: Ernst
Minnie Freeman. wife of Jason E. Free

city, with her little girl in her lap, told
the same old story of the waning of

she raised six children, the eldest now II,

The Need of Moro Eers.

The Kansas paper that declared the
wife of the farmer in that state did not
know whether to put the egg or the
pocketbook under her pillow, carried
the Jest a little too far, but still, eggs
are mighty valuable property. We re-
fer, of course, to hens eggs. Millions
OF dozens of them are produced an
nually in the United States. but even
this is not enough to go around. 1t
is needless to repeat the wonderful
comparisons which the secretaries of
agriculture have made as to the value
of the products of hens. The fact be-
fore US is that more eggs are needed.
Hens are not producing as many as
they might were they encouraged.
Farmers have doubtless made mis-
take in curtailing the production of
poultry and eggs because of the high
grain prices.
Our egg industry is not growing as
rapidly as it should. Years ago this
nation was an exporter of eggs; today
it is an importer Those who have
sold eggs and those who have at
tempted to buy them know of the rec
ord prices they have commanded and
of the enormous increase in values
compared with previous years. The
why's and wherefores of this stage of
values of eggs may be readily found
These are some of the facts adduced
by an egg expert: 1t is possible to
make the average production of eggs
per hen as high as 200 annually. The
average per hen year, according to
the last census was only eggs, or
about one-third of the possible pro-
duction.
The egg problem has been studied
more. carefully in recent years. Egg
laying strains of hens are being bred
Better methods of making hens lay
have been devised. We are getting
to like eggs better and we should pro-
duce more of them. Formerly the
care of egg-laying hens was entirely
the occupation of the women, but this
is changing. The farmers themselves
are getting interested, as they should

PERSEVERANCE, OF
MANUFACTURERWON

Eight years ago Robert Craig Hupp
automobiles. But he had an unconquer-
able determination to find out.
Today he is the moving spirit in eight
sound Detroit companies-three of them
producing motor driven vehicles-and
the only man at the head of an auto
from mechanics job in the shops.
r. c. Hupp foresaw the possibilities
Of the automobile industry when he was
25 years old. BY the time he reached
that age he had been. in the retail coal
business, had engaged for a time in
chemical manufacturing and had turned
10 the freight end of a great railroad
system.
But he had never been satisfied. He
felt that TO make the sort of success
that would satisfy himself he should go
into some line where he would have the
opportunity TO learn the business from
the ground up, inside and out.
The automobile was new; it seemed
TO hold forth the brightest promise
So in 1902 Hupp went into the shops
Of the Olds motor works.
For years he worked at the bench and
grounded himself in the mechanical de-
partment of the business. Then came
an opportunity to go into the Office and
IL was welcomed. Here he came into
contact with all departments and all
phases of an intricate business. His
experience with the Olds works covered
a period of three years. and in the au-
tumn of 1906 he left and went to
Chicago.
Hupp had not lost faith in the auto
mobile. He felt the need of some eX
perience in other lines of business and
progress and found 1t in Chicago.
Nine months later he returned to De-
troit and became a member OF the Ford
organization. Until January. 1908, he
remained with the Ford company and
left to become the organizer of the new
company.
In the years that had passed since he
entered the industry Hupp had come
to have some ideas and plans of his
own. He had never had a free hand to
put them into execution; and In his new
connection was restricted as much as
he had been heretofore.
But for this there might never have
been a Hupmobile.
Hupp had foreseen the demand for
car of moderate size and price which
would compare in build and appearance
with the largest and costliest. The
market at that time-190S-offered no
Hupp was so certain OF the success
of such an automobile as he had in
mind that he had no misgivings in
Withdrawing from his associates and
placing his proposition before Detroit
capitalists.
The idea was so big and so revolu-
tionary that capital was at first in
clined to be shy, yet there was no real
difficulty in securing enough money to
equip a small plant and buy the mate
rials for the building of a few hundred
cars.
So the Hupp motor car company came
into being, and Hupp gathered about
him an able organization to carry out
his plans. Work was begun at once on
the first Hupmobile, but none save
few were any the wiser until March of
1909. Since the preceding November
the first Hupmobile had been In test
At the time the car was introduced
it was planned to build 500.
The success OF the Hupmobile was so
instantaneous and pronounced that
plans were at once made for the erec-
ton of a large factory building. This

tion of 5000 cars for 1910 was begun.
Hupp remains in active direction of
the Hupp company, and his surplus en-
ergy has found outlet in the organiza-
tion of seven other Detroit concerns.
Two OF these are the Rotary Valve
motor company, which is building six
cylinder car with an entirely new and
practical type engine, and the Hupp-
Yeats electric car company, which is
soon to put an electric coupe on the
market.
These and other companies in which
Hupp is interested are to be grouped
machine company, the Hupp-James
Halloran foundry company and the
Hupp-Johnson forge company are in
operation in their new locations. and
buildings are nearing completion to
house the Rotary valve motor company
and the Hupp- Yeats company.
When the Hupp- Ellis Rutley con-
struction company and the Hupp-Det-
left PATTERN company are added there
will be new industrial community in
Fairview.
Hupp advances some interesting
thoughts concerning the present and
future status of the automobile in
dustry, and, incidentally, points out
that the acquisition of motor cars is
far from an ravagance-particula
as pertains to farmers.
"As a matter of fact" said Hupp.
"and certain citizens to the contrary
Notwithstanding the automobile is

owning horses. For long distances the
automobile saves money for the farmer
