content with taking the girls of the
''elite" social circles to the big state
Semi-Centennial ball Monday evening,
September IL, but are making ar
rangements to escort the pretty con-
test girls who will ride on the floats
from their respective towns.
The society young men in Chanute
were decidedly ''up in the air. when
they got wind of the fact that the
fair damsels who for months past they
have taken to all the social functions
that transpired in their town had made
"other arrangements" and with an
idea of getting "even," they wrote
letter 70 John B. Nicholson, chairman
of the ball committee, to ascertain if
1t would not be possible for him to put
them in touch with some of the fair
Topeka maidens who have been de-
serted by the young men of the city.
In this manner, figured the slighted
Chanute chaps, they would get sweet
revenge, inasmuch as the home girls
would probably be filled with jealousy
upon seeing them devoting their at
tentions to the girls of the capital city.
The Topeka girls also will undoubtedly
be agreeable to the plan, for they too
will desire to put one over" on the
Topeka men,
The letter from Chanute implied
that the boys-a dozen of them-want
to make a week of it" in Topeka.
The reply was; Come along-we'n
fix you up"

JUST THE THING.

Motor Truck Used Successfully for
Fruit Transportation.
The latest demonstration of a motor
truck has been accomplished by Or
Iando Moore, e prominent fruit grower
of Visalia, who made the run from
Globe, twelve miles east of PorterviIle,
to San Francisco in thirty-one hours.
Orlando had 7,240 pounds of grapes in
the three ton Kissel truck and made
the 315 miles in fast time and with the
truck in perfect condition at the fin
ish of the long tour
The grapes are from the vineyard of
F. S. Gerder of Globe. who accom-
panied Orlando on the trip. The tour
was made as an experiment to ascer-
tain if grapes could be hauled by mo-
tor trucks without bruising them. The

Detroit Mans Daredevil Test of a
New Car.
One of the delights of the fiends
who test motor cars is to originate
some new stunt through which to put
their cars while on the road. A
tester who can take his car back to
the factory and report to the superin-
tendent that he has found a punish
ment for his car which it will stand
without showing any damage is in
line for promotion, for it is the weak
spots that the builders are looking
for.
Such tests bring out any defect
which might possibly lie in any part

grapes did not show the effect of the
long trip up the valley through Los
Banos, over the Pachico Pass and then
up the coast route to San Francisco.
This dem monstration is one of the long
est ever given by a motor truck on
the Pacific coast and the fact that the
results proved so successful will prob
ably result IN great deal of the
transportation of fruit being accom-
plished by motor trucks.

tributed among the motor car owners
in Topeka. But-lest you do not get
copy at once-cut these from the
State Journal and take them on your
next trip.
The new logs cover thoroughly the
curves and angles, bridges. culverts
and scenes from Topeka to Holton
and from Holton to Horton. This
outline is for total distance of 56.7
miles. The Topeka-Holton log was
prepared some time ago. But the new
log from Holton to Horton. a distance
of 25.1 miles has just been issued by
Mr.. Badders.
This is the first Of a series of Of
ficial logs which will be prepared by
the Topeka Motor league. Some time
in the next year they will be compiled
and issued in book form This book
is to cover routes to various towns
throughout the Topeka trade district.
To the motorist who is not familiar
with the country roads, the book will
be of untold value and will save many
repair bill and drive over wrong
roads So complete is the description
of the highways that q child might
make the trip with absolute certainty
Now, If the other Kansas towns
would take up the work and prepare
a log book of their territory, Kansas
motorists would in a short time pos
sess a series of road maps that would
be of untold value. While the work
is being carried on by the IOp6Ka car
owners, it is also probable that sew
eral Of the other cities will be asked
to participate in the work of prepar-
ing a reliable log of Kansas high
ways.
Here are the logs as prepared by
Mr.. Badders. Every motor car owner
should preserve a copy. Others will
be published in the State Journal at a
later date.

Mr.. Hill Gives
Us Advice

Jas. J. Hill, who works at the
trade of empire builder most of the
time, stopped long enough within
the environs of Cut Bank, last Sat
urday, to tell the assembled throng
at the depot who got word that the
Hill special was scheduled for one
O'Clock that if they wished to get
rich they must keep doing things;
one thing at time, and must pay
no attention 10 the activities of 9TH
meaning, perhaps, that it was
not good policy to keep too close
watch on the overmen" or fellow
empire moulders.
When the train pulled into town
a burst of melody from the Cut
Bank band saluted Mr.. Hill and his
party, President L. w. Hill being a.
mong those on the special. A smile
of satisfaction on the face of the old
business master, he alighted from
the train and proceeded to embrace
a number of little folks who assem-
bled with the older ones to see the
Great Man. Speech, speech" said
someone in the crowd. All right"
came the quick retort of the mag
nate, Come right up here and make
it," How about station, Mr..
Hip" weakly suggested the editor.
Do you want Union station?'
Mr.. Hill inquired and that was as
far as the matter went for the crowd
was catching the dry Hill humor
and responding right pleasantly. Be
fore the special departed Mr.. Hill
called the leader of the band, G. c.
Putt, and while he pealed off
map" for $4,000 he told the music
master that he had some excellent
talent. Mr.. i. w. Hill spent the
ten minutes in interviewing num-
ber of farmers as to their grain
yields and was told 3y all Of them
that there was no place in the west
quite as good as the Cut Bank coun-
try.
