sire to see this territory developed and the vacant lands filled with cltl- zens. The recent development of a new policy by the Washington bu- reau towards these public lands which is keeping people from the lands instead of settling them, is re- sponsible for this effort to get to- gether. If the Western people can agree upon any policy towards these lands and work together for it, we can win. Our Eastern friends will be with us when they understand what We want, so it is very important that the West first determine upon pol icy and then fight for it"
 The convention will be held in the big auditorium in Denver and it is predicted that there will be fully 5000 delegates in attendance.

 "The future of the West lies in it's great undeveloped territory now known as the public domain,s said Governor Shafroth the other day. If there is any one thing regarding which all the Western states and ter ritories are unanimous, it is the de-

CROPS PROMISE BIG
 YIELD IN DESHA


 Arkansas City, July 21.-Rains have prevailed generally throughout this section during the past two weeks and there is danger of cotton growing too fast at the expense of fruiting. Corn is practically made and a bumper crop at that. The only danger now that could affect this would be severe wind storms blowing it down and rotting the ends of the ears. This class of weather is un- usual, however, at this season of the year. Boil weevil are so far reported only in the southeastern section of the county.

PENNY AT A Time
A Savings Bank for Poor Chill
dren.
Provident Association Will
Maintain One.
SAVE THEIR MONEY.
Plan Has Been Successful in
Other Cities.
Money Now Spent for Candy and
Picture Shows.

The penny provident fund system
which has been worked successfully in
many cities in this country has been
adopted by the board of directors of the
Topeka Provident association and will
be put into operation next week with
an idea of inducing the poor children
of the city to save their nickels and
dimes rather than to spend them all
ture shows and other forms of amuse-
ment- In other words the association
will maintain i savings bank for chill
dren.
Each child will be given a folder con-
tanning SO blank spaces the spaces to
be filed with coIored stamps indicat-
ing the amount that has been deposited
each time A statement of the plan will
be sent out to the parents of all the
boys and girls in the classes of the
association, and an absolute guarantee
will be given that the money is per-
fectly safe in the hands of the directors
of The institution.
When a child wants to draw money
out it will be necessary to give week s
warning. That will prevent the chill
dren from going to shows upon the i'm
pulse of the moment.
"A great many children said Sec
rotary Justis today, when they get
nickel don't know of anything to do
with it except to spend it In Wash
ingtOn, D. c., as much as $4,000 or ST.
600 is taken in through this system Of
saving in the course of a year, and in
Minneapolis, Mimi, $1,000 is the
amount per annum received from the
children
L believt, the plan will work in To-
peka. The colored stamps in the fold
ers which will indicate the amounts
paid in will be an attraction to the
children.
This summer the Friendly Visitors
club will make a general campaign
among the parents of the poor of the
city to arouse enthusiasm in the saw
ing idea. At that time Of year a great
many of the working people are MAX
ing more money than they spend
At the meeting of the board held
Wednesday night the following officers
were elected to manage the aaffairs of
the association the ensuing year: T. F.
Carver, president; Thomas Page, vice
president; c. G. Blakely, secretary; G.
T. Justis, general secretary; H. L Hall,
treasurer A meeting is being held
this afternoon for the purpose of Sc
lecting the committee for the year.

Officer by Mistake.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-Captain
John T Bartel, a federal secret ser

in $500 by a pair of crooks as the
result of a bunco game into which he
allowed himself to be drawn. Two

an acquaintance with the government

his part so faithfully that the bunco
men left $500 with him in proof of
their good faith, saying they would
return to claim it last night.

and prepared a reception for the men.
