LAYMEN INTERESTED.
Convention in Topeka Promises to Be
a Success.

About 80 members of the pastors CO.
operative committee and the executive
committee of the Laymens Missionary
movement met this noon at the Com
mercial club and listened to short ad-
dresses by ]. c. bearing who has been
doing missionary work in Japan, and
DR.. H. Percy Silver, army chaplain in
the Philippine islands and secretary of
Domestic and Foreign Missions. The
latter is one of the speakers who will
be on the program of the big convention
Feb. 22-24
Mr.. ]. c. Trimble, who has charge of
the conventions in this portion of the
country, was also present and gave
some valuable advice.
About 400 registrations have already
come in from the northeastern portion
of the state, and it is confidently ex-
pected that there will be upwards CT
1000 registered delegates in attendance
at the convention.
The convention will open on Thursday
evening with a dinner at the Audi
torium. 1t was expected that the
tickets would be limited to a thousand
for this opening session, but on account
of the great demand for plates it has
been decided to make an effort 20
squeeze In 1900 persons.
The Auditorium will be deliberately
decorated with posters, notices, flags,
etc, and unique feature which has
Deen suggested Is d ldI5e map VI thC
United States showing the itinerary
that the convention speakers will have
covered before the IS conventions
throughout the United States have
come to a close. The convention cities
will be indicated, If the plan is carried
out by electric lights, an especially
brilliant one to show up Topeka on the
map.
Another feature which has not been
tried in any other city where conven-
lions have been held thus far will be
the singing of a large male chorus
which as yet has not been organized.
All the little details will be thought OF,
for example, a table will be provided
directly in front of the speakers espe-
cially for the deaf people.
Topeka laymen are arranging to
speak at Holton on the 18th: at Hor-
ton on the 14th; Hiawatha on the 18th;
Seneca on the 18th; and Junction City
on the 18th. On the 18th a large depu-
tation will speak at Emporia.
j. C. bearing will speak this evening
at the first Baptist church.

RACE FOR CUP.
Interest in Track Athletics at WASH
burn-Contest February II.

Football and track are the two
branches of sport most commonly
known as college athletics. Washburn
has been having some trouble lately
but on the whole Topeka sports have
been treated to a pretty fair brand of
football Track work, however, has
always been a failure here, although
many towns no larger than Topeka
have plenty of enthusiastic track fans.
The trouble has been that neither the
high school nor Washburn itself has
tried to make success of track work.
But now the high school athletes are
taking the matter up If. earnest, While
the Washburn authorities are making
every effort t. have a big track team
here as soon as possible. A good quar-
ter mile track is being built on the new
athletic field. All the possible point
winners are being worked in the new
Thomas gymnasium every day, and
while it is improbable that the team
will be a winner in its first year, yet
Washburn will rank we'll. Prepare
lions are being made at all the big
the next month and Washburn has
adopted the same plan.
A fine silver trophy put up by Mr..
w. A. Neiswanger of this city will fur
nish the inspiration for the indoor in
terclass meet that will be held at
Washburn Thursday night. February
II. 25-yard dash, half mile, one mile
and two mila races will be run. A re-
Law race between the classes, shot put,
Jumps and fence vault will complete
the program.

COL. RADGES IS BETTER.
Physicians Say That Internal Injuries
May Not Be Serious.

Late this afternoon it was reported at
the Bethesda hospital that Col Sam
Radges, who was injured when the
Magee automobile cOllided with Bell
Telephone wagon, was resting easily
and that there was no indication, 30
far. of serious injuries. Mr.. Radges'
bruises are more painful today than
yesterday but DR.. Seth Hammell de-
clares that nothing to indicate interal
injuries has appeared and that he is
very hopeful of Mr.. Radges' complete
and speedy recovery.
Although suffering great pain from
his injuries almost the first thing that
Mr.. Radges noticed after being carried
into Rosser's drug store was the alb
sence of his watch charm. He wore a
diamond worth several hundred dol
lars, but it's presence or loss occaSioned
no concern on his part.
Please send some one out to look for
my charm" he said. even before DR.
Hammell arrived at his side. TT was a
keepsake and 1 value it greatly for this
reason. It was a two guinea gold coin
made in 1925, the year my father was
born, and sent to me at his request fol-
lowing his death, and one of the few
things l have by which to remember
him.
Following the accident a young man
was seen to pick up the charm and
place it in his pocket. The observers
thought nothing of the act at the time,
as they supposed that the finder intend
ed to return it to Mr.. Radges, and it IS
possible that this is true. Mr.. Radges.
however, is worrying greatly over the
loss and will pay a suitable reward for
its return to George w. Crane or to him
at the hospital

CHALMERS TO SPEAK.
Will Address Topeka Ad Club on
February 16.

Hugh Chalmers, president and gem
era1 manager of the Chalmers Motor
company, who will speak before the
Topeka Advertising club Wednesday,
mobile for pleasure riding, but when
he wants exercise he rides horse
Every morning before breakfast he
takes long horseback ride.
Il am firm believer in health as
factor in success" says Mr.. Chal-
mers. II am convinced that the
healthy man succeeds in business more
generally than man who is constant
ly ailing. l like to have healthy men
about me, and I believe that most peo-
pie like to meet healthy men. The
man who works indoors as do should
be more particular about the regular
ity of his exercise than the man who
works out of doors.
Il have found horseback riding best
adapted to my needs. 1t is often a trial
to get up at o'clock in the morning
and go for a long ride without break
fast. Especially in the winter when it
is dark at that hour the temptation
tc lie abed is strong. But l believe that
my morning hour equips me for the
business of the day: and once l have
had the plunge. the exercise is delight
full. 1 return to my breakfast refresh
ed and with keen appetite. AS long
as a mans digestive apparatus works
properly he is pretty likely to be sue
ceSSful.
unfortunately, all can't indulge in
horseback riding; 1 wish everyone
could. But whether you ride a horse,
play golf, chop wood or knock up flies
in vacant lot. be sure to take your
exercise regularly. If you can take it
in the morning, it will fit you for the
days work; if you take it after work 1t
will refresh you and prepare you for
night of health giving sleep. But take
it sometime. for health is big asset
in this world"

IN THEIR OWN HANDS.
Swift Says the People Have the Rem
edy for High Prices.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb Stock
raising must be more generally follow
ed if the farmers are to remain pros
porous and the people are to have cheap
meat according to Louis F. Swift, pres
ident of Swift & Co.. packers. Mr..
Swift is one e the leading packers in
the country, and his statement was Civ
en- out at South st. Paul today.
In his statement Mr.. Swift says the
people have the remedy for high prices
in their own hands and that packers
are not to blame. He says the people
want too much meat of the fancy quail
ity; that they do not buy or cook pro-
perly, and he considers the firelesS cook
er a factor in household economics. But
| back of it all, the western packers see
the lack of production of meat as the
basic cause of high prices. Mr.. Swift
said:
Supply Is Not Sufficient.
First cattle ranges in the west.
where countless herds once grazed,
have been broken up into farms, re-
meat animals; at the same time. our
| rapidly growing population continues
to increase the demand The nation
is facing a serious question in the re-
duced number of live stock raised and
depicting the soils fertility. The farm
| er, both east and west, must grapple
with this problem, for it is his oppor-
tunity. In other words, stock raising
must become an lnseparable part of
agriculture if the farmer is to con-
tinues successful, and if the material
prosperity of the entire people is to
continue"
| Referring to present discussion re-
garding the cost of living, he said:
| 1.-THE excessive demand for the ribs
and loins (only about 26 per cent of
the carcass), from which roast beef
and steaks are secured, makes it neces-
sary to realize a wholesale price great
| ly in excess of the price of the re-
maing "A per cent of the carcass, in
| order to obtain the average.
People Should Eat Cheaper Cuts.
| LAS an example, beef cuts sold To-
cally January "a, 1910, as follows:
Ribs, 9 to II cents; loins, 10 to 16
cents; rounds, to II cents; chucks.
! 6 to Z Il cents; plate, to 6 cents. If
the American people would learn to
prepare the cheaper cuts of meat,
which are just as nutritious big item
would be stricken from the present cost
of living
Mr.. Swift says there is as much diff
ference in beef as there is in clothing.
A suit can be bought for $40 or SIS
and others cost from $50 to $50.

cost of living, the basis of price.

seems to be made on beefsteak and
roast beef, which are comparatively
easy to cook" he said. The choicer
cuts only comprise about 26 per cent
of the steer and more attention
should be given to the proper prep
aration to the cooking of the balance,
IA per cent said the packer.
THE fireless cooker is going to do
a lot toward accomplishing this pur-
pose, as these cheaper cuts can be
prepare with very little cost and be
made very attractive and appetizing.
Natural conditions are more re-
sponsible for the present cost of liv-
ing than any channel of trade
through which meat may pass on it's
way to the consumer.

THE GERMAN COACH HORSE FER
NANDO.

Among our callers at the Eastern
Maine Fair, was Mr.. T. A. Richie of
Monroe, who annually drops in to pay
for his paper and incidentally to have a
little talk about horses and other mat
tiers. This season Mr.. Richie has been
keeping and managing the German
coach horse Fernando, owned by the
Waldo and Penobscot Horse Breeders
Association. We learn that this horses
get are proving very satisfactory to his
patrons, in fact more so than many of his
owners dared to hope for. This is Fer
nando's fourth season at Monroe and
each years crop of colts is larger one.
This season Mr.. Richie thinks heswill
cover 100 mares before the breeding
time is over. A notable fact about this
horses colts is that they are all solid
colors, bay or brown, and none of them
have white marks. All rank above the
ordinary and all partake to marked de-
gree of their sire, which would go to
show that Fernando is a particularly
strong bred horse. Mr.. Richie informs
us that he has two year old colt by this
sire for which he has refused an offer of
$500. sThis colt came from HOO pound
mare and in present form will weigh as
much as the dam.-Turf, Farm and

Dor to the game The neighbor was not
a fan, but he had succumbed to the de-
lights of travelling on pass" and was
having real, garrulous, good time.
At the moment when there wasn't a
heart beating on the bleachers, and the
grandstanders were nauseated with sus-
pense, the sporting EDITORS neighbor
emitted this:
