BAKER WINS
HANDSOME PRIZE

Fayetteville, Ark, Feb. IS, 1911.
The 18th of February was Card
inal day here, taking names of those
wanting cardinal, the year book
of the university. Several boys and
girls went into the contest and went
after the work to win, but it was
seen that only two or three had
chance of winning. At the close Of
the day, when the receipt stubs were
turned over to Manager Wells, it
was found thet r. X Baker had
easily won in the contest coming
ont more than forty names ahead of
his closest opponent. He received
two handsome cardinals and a big
piece of that "kind of money that
has the color of the sun as seen
through smoke" Bakers friends
will be proud to know also that, in
June, he receives his L. |. degree,
the first one ever granted to a Ran
dolph county boy by the university.
Success to Baker!
Some of our boys have been on
the sick list for few days, but we
are glad to say that they are able to
resume their full work now.
Mr.. Editor, it is springtime here
now, so far as the weather is con-
cerned, and has been for several
days. Many trees are IN bloom
and all are budding. ! send yol a
little blossom to show you the size.
Fruit trees are in big headway to-
wards blooming and many people,
who know or ought to, say fruit is
in great danger here. Fruit growers
are taking every precaution to pro-
tect their fruit. They are placing
''smudge-pots" or oil burners all
among the trees to keep them safe
from the falls IN the temperature.
The legislative committee is here
now ''inspecting u.s." We have
"our best foot in front with the
shoe well polished" The only
thing upper-most in mind is
a big appropriation" We need
ga whole heap more than we've got. "
But only few of the boys can get
work for which the state pay him.
Sometimes these boys who are for
tunate enough to get work, have to
wait for several weeks to get their
pay. Sometimes the president
shoulders the affair and has some
bank to pay the boys. This ought
not so to be. Such a great institu.
tion as this ought to be on a better
footing.

Lower Interest Rate

If some member of the present
legislature wants to be real boost
er for his state, he should introduce
bill lowering the maxium legal
rate to eight per cent. The develops
ment of the state has too long been
handicapped by 10 per cent interest, (,
which makes the development of
natural resources, opening of coal
and mineral deposits, manufacture
ing enterprises, ETC., an impossible
ity unless the enterprise promises a
return of fifteen per cent or more.
And If man is fortunate enough to
have idle money, it kills the incen-
tive for investment in such enter.
prises, because he can loan bis mon
ey out at 10 per cent, assume no
business cares or responsibilities nor
the chance of Improbable invest
ment. Unless other investments
promise vastly greater returns, to
sit back and draw lis ten percent
looks good to him. If the interest
rate was eight per cent, or even six,
then the money lender would seek
some investment that promised
greater returns. Mines would be
opened up, ia ,tories would be erect
ed, farms and orchards would be
developed with money that is now
out on lterest, and the man who now
hesitates to engage in these enter
terpriSes because he must borrow a
part of his capital at high rate of
interest, would no longer be handi-
capped. Give US cheaper money,
and laws that will invite, rather than
intimidate outside capital, and Ar
kanas will come into her own.
There is millions Of money in the
north and east going begellg at
four and five per cent, but tie very
fact that we are willing to pay ten
per cent in Arkansas, keeps it scared
away. -Russellville Courier Demo-
crat.

MAKES GOOD, HEALTHY FLESH
Geo.W. Stausfield Offers to Pay
for Samose if 1t Fails.

Begin the use of Samose today, and
you will soon notice a gain in good.
healthy flesh. To all who are thin,
weak and run down, this remarkable
f1esh-forming food promises plump,
rosy, perfect health, vigor and vitality.
Most people eat enough to become
fat; the trouble is not lack of food
but lack of assimilative power.
Samose mingles with the food that is
eaten, so that it is assimilated by the
blood, and builds up pleasing plump
ness and good healthy flesh. Those who
use Samose for a week or ten days will
soon notice a gain in weight and an i'm
provement in general strength and
health.
Samose is in tablet form, pleasant to
take. and is sold by one of the most
reputable drug stores in Topeka, Geo.
w. Stansfield, 632 Kansas avenue, under
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.

HORSE THIEF BUSY
Four Animals Stolen in Topeka
Last Night.
w. j. V. Deacon and e. o. Cob
lentZ Suffer Losses.
GRADING TEAM TAKEN
This Was From the Rock Island
Stock Yards.
Employee at Grading Camp Is
Also Missing.

Four horses were stolen in Topeka
last night.
One was taken from the barn of w.
J. V. Deacon, statistician for the state
board of health, 1854 Polk street; an
other from the barn of E. o. Coblentz
of the Shawnee agency, 1425 Tyler
street, and two from the stock yards OF
the Rock Island system. These two
belonged to ]. E. Riley of Emmett.
Kan, who is doing grading work for
the Rock Island at Bishop, the first
station on the line west of Topeka.
Mr.. Deacon was absent from the city
at a knights Templar meeting at
Wichita and has not heard of his loss.
Neighbors found the barn door broken
open and reported. The barn door was
also was broken at the Coblentz place
The stock yards, where the grazing
teams were kept, were not locked.
The team taken from the yards was
a black and dappled gray about Z
years old and weighing 1900 pounds
each. The horse taken at the Deacon
stable is a bay 10 years old and weigh
ing LOO. The one taken from the COD
lentz stable is a gray saddle mare,
years old, and weighing 800 pounds.
A clue is furnished the officers by J.
E. Riley who says that in addition To
losing1his team he has lost an en-
ployee. The circumstances lead to the
theory that the man quit his job in the
dead of night and took a good team with
him. 1t is possible also that he picked
up the third heavy horse and then the
saddle horse in order that he might
ride away leading the three.
While this theory seems too well ful-
filled to be true it is further borne out
by a report this morning from the mar
shall at Burlingame. This marshal tele-
phoned in to Sheriff Norton that he
was awakened early this morning by
running horses and upon looking out
saw three horses, one of them a gray.
galloping north through the streets.
The officers entertain the notion that
these were the three horses stolen in
Topeka and they had broken away
from their leader and were running
back, perhaps frightened by train, an
automobile. or chased by the man, or
owner, from whom they had broken
away.
Sheriff Norton has had the telephone
and telegraph wires warm in advising
all the surrounding towns and cities to
be on the lookout for the horses de-
scribed. The police have been instruct
ed by their chief to make careful in
vestigation within the city. The sud
uen work of horse thieves after a Ions
absence has caused the officers some
excitement
