I'm not going over this morning,
was the reply.
Mrs. Bowser's knees began to shake.
If he would take a day off, that meant
that he would overhaul the house
from garnet to cellar. and that some
calamity would follow was inevitable
He went down cellar and gave lhe
furnace a rattle, and then came up
to go outside again and glance up at
the roof and chimneys, as II making
a mental calculation of what 1t would

them He also paced off the length
of the alley fence, as II new one
was to replace it, but it was all done
in quiet, gentle way.
Mr. Bowser had shifted around to
the front, and was seemingly picking
out q site for a fountain in the
spring. when Mrs. Bowser came out
to ask if he had a headache.
mot the slightest was the reply.

But it's a clipper, and the price

The man made some remark about

Meanwhile, down at the house. po-
tato peddler had come along. He knew
that Bowser had thrown three of the
profession over the fence within a year
and told the cook he'd discharge her if
she even bought a turnip of them. but
the sight of his enemy sitting on the
top step SO calmly and complacently
and looking so harmless in the eyes Of
all, emboldened him to stop his rig at
the curb and to say over the gate:

The words hoated up to Mrs. Bowser

Buy Topeka Made Goods Cry of
Commercial Men.
People Need Not Buy Anything
from Outside.
SOME SAMPLE MENUS.
Best Flour in the World Is
Made Here.
Realty Business Good for This
Time of Year.

buy Topeka Made Goods" is a cry
that is now being heralded in the cap
ital city. The Commercial club has
taken up the slogan and is making an
effort through publicity to induce the
loyal citizens of Topeka to patronize
home industry.
The products turned out in the city
are varied ranging all the way from
instruments for the purpose of carry
ing out DIR. $. J. Crumbine's swat
the-f1y' edict to the largest engines on
earth that are built in the Santa F'e
shops.
Did you ever stop to think that if
the good people Of the town were COM
PEELED to eat only Topeka made
goods they would still be able to live
in princely fashion provided they had
the coin with which to buy all the
delicacies that are made locally, and
that in some manner salt and pepper
could be smuggled into the city?
Topeka is the greatest milling cen
ter in Kansas. and ranks fifth among
the cities of the United States in the
output of wheat products. Minneap-
oils comes first in the list, Buffalo sec
ond, Kansas City third, and Toledo
fourth. There are six large mills IN
Topeka with a daily capacity of 1920
barrels of flour.
1.-THE best flour in the world is pro-
duced right here in Topeka" said a
Topeka miller, for in Kansas we have
the best wheat on earth
Aside from the best grades of white

Gated flour for the digestion, pancake
flour and breakfast foods. are turned
out from the local mills.
There are two corn mills which ship
out various products of this grain.
Greatest Creamery Industry.
Topeka is also the home of an i'm
mense creamery industry, and has the
distinction of being able to boast of
the largest creamery in the world, the
Continental.
The Banquet" brand of hams and
bacon is winning fame, and the pro-
ducts that come under this name bear
the mark Topeka" The supplies for
the Harvey eating houses are for the
most part purchased in Chicago, stated
a Topeka grocer, but the cars loaded
with provisions are delayed at Topeka
until supplies of ham and bacon of the
brand mentioned are taken on The
products of the Wolff Packing CO. are
numerous.
The Seymour Packing co. does an
immense business in eggs and poultry
in fact. is one of the largest con-
Germs in the country of the kind.
It is not the purpose of this article
to advertise particular brands OF
goods, but to emphasize the fact that
a person in Topeka can live on the
fat of the land and fare well.
Following is a suge ested menu for
each meal of the day which, with the
exception of pepper, salt, sugar and
one drink. could be prepared from
purely Topeka products:

BOWsER, HE RESTS.
And Mrs. Bowser Does All the Worry
ing in the Family.

When breakfast had been eaten the
other morning Mr.. Bowser lighted a
cigar and sauntered out into the back
yard. There was thaw on, and the
morning was mild. BY looking from
the back window Mrs. Bowser could
see half a dozen clothes pins on the
grass and she drew a long breath
Mr.. Bowser saw the clothes pins, and
realized that such a waste must end
in the poorhouse, but he was calm.
BY and by, when he came in, he was
asked if he wouldn't be late at the
office.

This fact has proven an attraction for
many families who have chosen To-
peka as their home for that reason.
If Kansas adds to its many other ad-
vantages that of political rights for
women, I shall come to Topeka to
make my home. Otherwise, I shall
stay in California, where the men have
already shown their sense of justice by
extending to the women the same
rights they demand for themselves

Leroy Scott. author of 1.-The Shears

brought out by Doubleday, Page &
Co. in the early spring, remained at
at his summer home on Caritas Island,
off Stamford, Conn. until late in the
fall. and only recently returned to his
apartments in Washington Square,
New York. Though Mr. Scott is es-
sentially a city dweller he was born
and spent most of his life in a small
Indiana town. His new book 1.-The
Counsel for the Defense is laid in
small middle-western town-no par
ticular one declares Mr.. Scott=but
typical of several in Indiana and Ohio
that he knows very well. In the book
he takes up the question of the abil-
fairs of her city and state, which in
itself will afford much food for
thought to those who have taken sides
in the great feminist movement of the
day.

SAVING THE sEAeULLs,
:-:~:.'.'-:.s'-s':':'':':':fi's':''!''s'

Twenty years ago the gulls and terms
nf the Atlantic seaboard were in immi-
nent danger OF extinction by the mill
liners agents Hundreds of thousands
Of these birds lad been slaughtered IN
the breeding season and some species
had almost disappeared. Abbot w.
| Thayer started a subscription fund 10
pay wardcns to protest the birds dur
| ing the breeding season. and then the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties took over the work, Under the
care of this organization the birds
have Increased wonderfully In numbers.
When the work was begun there were
ON the New England coast only about
twenty pairs of laughing gulls which
bred on Muskeget island. Now there
are more than thousand there and
they are spreading along the co9st
to the gulf of Maine. The increase
of the herring eulls and the terms un-
der this protection has been phenom-
email Even the least tern or SEA swal-
low. which was nearing extinction in
the east is increasing.
At the beginning a strenuous at
tempt was made TO save the hcrdus
aud pespecially the white cgret. Eg-
rets formerly were scattered through
the United States in large numbers
in all suitable localities, from the Hud-
son river TO Oregon and from Florida
10 California. The efforts made to
protect them came 50 late that. not
withstanding all that could be done to
save them. they continued 10 decrease
until about three years ago. William
butcher, president of the National AS.
sociation Of Audubon Societies. leaned
to the belief that nothing could save
them from determination. The plume
hunters had killed three wardens, shot
out the herOnaries that the wardens
We're employed TO protect and hal
To shoot up other heroTies
while the wardens were temporarily
absent until probably Only a few hun
dTed bros were left i'm the United
States, and these were scattered FAR
and wide. When Mr. butcher was sud
denly stricken down r. Gilbert Pear
son, secretary of the national associa-
tion, gave mp the attempt To protect the
esrets against the Indians and desper-
ADDE'S of southern Florida and he and
the directors of the association turned
their energies toward other states IN
the attempt TO save the few, birds left.
Thus 1ar the enterprise has been
successful beyond expectation. LAST
year about 5000 egrets were known 20
be in existence, and this year there
are at least 5000 in known colonies,
scattered through the Atlantic, Paci-
lie and gulf states Protection i'm the
