losls or other constitutional communic-
able diseases Confirmed drunkards

PEOPLE ARE WANTING
AND
WAITING FOR HOMES
BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTIVE
HOMES

''In so doing" said Mr.. Burge, 1.-THE
owner has a productive home instead
of productive place with high
taxes. The reason people do not now
go out to live on a few acres Of
ground is the fact that there is moth
ing beautiful around them. We are
going to prepare a place where they
can have something of the beautiful
and at the same time produce some
thing for themselves.
Real estate operators have been
providing places by laying out addi-
tons such as Elmhurst for the people.
who are continually pouring into the
cities, but no one, in any of the cities
of the Central West, has conceived
the idea of making a place near car
lines, just outside the city where peo-
pie may go and own productive
homes.
There is no place like this around
Topeka, Lincoln, Omaha, Kansas City,
Mo-, Kansas City, Kan, st. Joseph,
Mo-, Sioux City, Ia, Des Moines. La.
or Wichita, Kan, yet thousands of
people in those cities are waiting
wishing, longing for just this very
thing which we are going to Law out
here. The company which operates in
this line of real estate DEVELOPMENT
and sale, cannot do otherwise than
make big profits.
Topeka alone could utilize two or
three such places and my expectations
are that the first Pinehurst opened in
Topeka will be turned into money
within thirty days from the time of
the opening.
There are just two lines of real
estate business in which we expect to
engage and for which this company
we are financing, has been organized.
The development and sale of this
class of properties and the develop
ment and sale of small tracts of land
which can be irrigated in this state

land can be purchased for $25 to $50
per acre. With an expenditure of $40

ASKS LIBRARY BOARD.
State Association Petitions Legislature
for a Commission.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 28.-Be-
lieving that public libraries in COM
munity are no less effective in safe
guarding of its citizens, young and old
than is the church and school, the
Kansas State Library association is
petitioning the state legislature for
the creation of public libraries COM
mission, which shall have permanent
headquarters in the state house. To
this end the association has prepared
bill which will be introduced in the
legislature.
1t states that a libraries commission
is not a new or experimental work, but
has proven successful in over thirty
other states and should prove equally
successful in Kansas. Members of the
association say that the increased
number of public libraries in the state
demand the supervision of a practical
libraries commission if the best results
are to be obtained and a community
receive the full benefit upon it's invest
ment for the peoples welfare. With
this supervision is to be combined the
duties of an organizer, who Will assist
in the organization of libraries in
towns and cities where none exist as
well as to aid in advancing the stand
arc, of those already organized.

ROASTED OSTRICH.
And Ostrich Egg OmeIette Will Be
Served for the Colonel.

Ell Paso, Tex. Jan. 2S.-The south
west is ablaze with enthusiasm over
the impending visit of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, who goes to New Mexico and
Arizona after a visit with the Cattle
Raisers' association of Texas at Phoe-
nix, Ariz., on March 10. Arrangements
are being made to serve the colonel an

The onelet will be weighed before and
after he tackles it, and the colonel will
be weighed after he finishes it. 1t is

Plans for the plotting and develop
ment of "Pinehurst," Topeka's first
producing, DEMONSTRATING, suburban
once planned and opened for home
building will be one of the most at
tractive, most beautiful of any resi-
dence district about Topeka or any
other city in the middle west.
The plans shown here in a rough
sketch are laid out for one hundred
acre tract of land adjoining Topeka,
within three blocks of a street car
line, yet just outside the city limits
and the high tax district.
Mr.. Burge, president of the COM
pany which will make this addition,
has, for his main principle, the de-
velopment of residence tract, beau
tiful, productive and exclusive. The
main entrance to Pinehurst will be
through a stone archway, the name
'Pinehurst'' will be done on the face
of the arch. Graveled driveways, TWEEN
ty feet wide will give access to every
five acre tract in the district. Com
bination cement curbing and sidewalk
of the driveway, Offering the residents
of Pinehurst splendid walk from
their homes to the car line or to the
city.
Inside the walks, a row of low ever
green's will be set and a stone bearing
the Individual name of each tract will
be placed in front of every five acre
plot, on the driveway side of each
walk. In the plotting of Pinehurst,
every subdivision or five acre lot will
have it's own individual name.
Electric poles will be placed in
Pinehurst to furnish electric lights,
telephone connections will be made
and every convenience of the city'with
the advantage of low taxes and pro-
ductive plot of ground will be afforded
the residents of this new addition.
This will enable the home owner
in Pinehurst to have home with two
or three or five acres from which he
can practically produce his living.

1T GOES TOO FAR.
One Magazine Is Sued for Libel by
Standard Oil.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The Standard
Oil company has brought suit in the
United States circuit court for $780,
600 damages against the Broadway
Publishing company, Inc, publishers
of Hampton'S Magazine, and Cleveland
Moffett, the magazine writer. The cur
rent issue of Hampton's contains an
article in which it is alleged that
subsidiaries of the Standard sell glu-
cose to confectioners.
THE only possible connection be-
tween the Standard and the manu-
facture of glucose said counsel for
the Standard, lis that two men who
make glucose are on the Standard di-
rectorate.''
So far as is recalled the Standard
Oil company has never brought suit
before against any of the many publ
cations that have attacked it.
