DR.. HARDING AGAIN.
Now She Enjoins school Board From
Buying Books.

DR.. Eva Harding's ever helpful ap-
plication for an injunction was again
set in operation today when her at
torneys filed a petition in Judge Whit
combs court asking that the board of
education be enjoined from the pur-
chase of certain school books. The
petition urges that the purchase of the
books is Illegal, since the voters were
not given an opportunity to pass on
the change in text books.
At its meeting the night of August
the board of education directed
the superintendent of the Topeka
schools to contract for the purchase of
certain books to be used in the city
schools. These books had not been
adopted by the state text book com
mission and DR.. Harding, as a tax
payer. says she is unwilling TO pay her
share of the 500 required to pur-
chase the books because the state
commission had adopted a uniform
system and these books we're not in
harmony with the action of the COM
mission. Pupils have always been
forced to buy the books heretofore
and it has imposed a heavy burden on
the parents.
Authority to purchase the new books
was given the superintendent in a reso-
the three new books have been pub
lished and the contract was to have
been let at an early date. DR.. Hard
ing now urges that the action of the
board is to supplant the books adopt
ed by the state commission and that
the warrants for the payment of the
books Will be drawn from the general
revenue fund, which, she says, was
levied for other purposes.
When the petition was presented to
Judge Whitcomb of the second divi-
sion of the district court, he imme-
diately issued a temporary restraining
order which will prevent any attempt
to carry out the provisions of the reso-
luton before the application for an in
junction is argued. After issuing the
restraining order. the court set the
case for hearing at 10 o'clock next
Monday morning

she filed suit for divorce and refused
to permit her husband to see their
child until Dunaway secured an order
from the court.
Mrs. Dunaway is an attractive young
woman and is at present living with

Dunaway has asked the court to grant

give him the custody of Baby GWendo-
lene, a pretty 4-year-old tot, whom
Dunaway is now permitted to visit

Inability to keep their wives at hone

NORTH SIDE NEWS
Suggest Throwing Pictures on
Dixie Walls.
Suggestions for Use of Bare
White Surface.
TO ADVERTISE TOPEKA
LOafers' Club Heartily Endorses
Brilliant Plan.
Other Items of Interest on the
North Side.

Since the hue and cry has been
raised against utilizing the walls of
the nearly finished South side bikes
for bill posters, various suggestions to
make them both useful and ornamen-
tai in other ways are being offered by
North side people.
Now, bill posters would mar the
walls more or less permanently, al
though the advertising value thereof is
unqueStionabIe. This is especially true
of political advertising. It was sug-
gested as an offset that the women be
allowed to vote upon the best locking
candidate-like Eugene Stotts for in
stance-and the winner be allowed to
post his picture on the wall for linn
tied length of time. However, others
say that the privilege should go to the
man who treats his wife the best. OF
course, this would bar unmarried men
out of the race.
Then a bright man came to the res
cue with the idea that bill posters be
not used at all, but that political can
didate use stereopticon and moving
picture machines with the white walls
for a screen and give free exhibitions
on nights just before elections
This thought gave rise to another
innovations that the railroads at night
throw on the walls stereopticon pic
lures advertising their roads and the
summer resorts. Likewise, it was sug-
EeSIeQ LnaL Inc city use the same
method to advertise Topeka. This mat
ter will possibly be taken up with the
Real Estate Dealers association 1t is
thought that this proposition will be
passed with the proverbial whoop.
North side woman said that she
thought it would be a good thing for
the church societies to give illustrated
missionary lectures using the walls on
which to throw the pictures of heather
and other beauties of the South Sea
islands. And another North side
woman thinks that the committee on
civic pride of the once was Civic club
should donate Towering plants, place
them along the wall and let the vines
trail artistically downward.
Just what will be done about these
brilliant plains is uncertain, but it is
significant that all of them have re-
ceived the hearty endorsement of the
Loafers' club.
Lack of fires this summer has
given the firemen at station No. 1
extra leisure time Now, the fire boys
believe in improving their time and
minds, so have passed SO many of
their hours reading books and maya
zines donated them that they have
read them all through. Will some one
please come through with literature
which is not doing any good elsewhere
and loan or give it to the fire boys?
