-Four years ago / saw the need OF
some kind Uf course 10 agriculture

most Of our pupils came from the farm
and are needed there, as are all boys
in tins section. We had only ten
grades and orr students had TO go TO
some other school to finish their high
cchool course. This being the case, l
had 10 conform our course To that OF
other schools in order TO get the credit

two years. Hence / could not give a
course in agriculture aud call it such.

TO Feeble Old People.

As one grows old the waste OF the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than In youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Yinel, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice Of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, / have q
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If Vinol fails to build up the

AETNA CASE is ON.
Lawyers Are Still Arguing Before
Judge Pollock.

At 8 o'clock this afternoon, lawyers
in the Aetna case were still at war in
Judge sPOllock's court in Kansas City,
with little indication that the conten-
ton over the recent election will be
settled before a late hour this evening.
The issues over the injunction suit
filed yesterday, have not been pre-
scented.
half dozen Topeka LAWYERS, repre-
senting the factions in the Aetna
Building & Loan association trouble,
are in Kansas City to participate in
the final settlement of the controversy.
At 10 o'clock this morning Judge Pol
lock took up the report of Judge
Sluss, master of the election. Over
the final APPROVAL of this report there
is much contention. BY the old crowd,
it is claimed that the election was ir-
regular and Illegal and are filing vol
umns of objections to an official ap-
prevail of the voting.
When the result of the election was
announced, the men in power refused
to evacuate and insisted on holding
their jobs. Friday morning an in
junction was prayed for by attorneys
for the men in office. This writ sought
to enjoin the newly elected officers
from taking their seats. and to re-
strain the old crowd from turning over
the books and records of the associa-
ton.
With the settlement of the election
report, it is believed that the injunc-
ton proceediong will be disposed of
without additional controversy. A
telephone message from Kansas CITY
at 3 o'clock this afternoon stated that
the entire day would be occupied in
the argument of the case.

Topeka Man or Some One Else on Sys-
tenn to Succeed Buck.

1t is stated upon authority from the
general offices of the Santa F'e today
that the successor to the late w. F..
Buck, superintendent of motive power,
will be a System" man from the ranks
of the mechanical department of the
road. Furthermore 1t is said that the
office of superintendent of motive
power will not be abolished and the
divisional system will not be placed in
effect.
w. B. Storey, jr.. vice president of
the Santa Fe, in charge of operation
was in Topeka for a few minutes last
evening. He was on his way to Chicago
after an inspection trip over the lines
and after a long conference with Presi-
dent Ripley and other system officers
who are wintering in the west
1t is stated that Vice President
Storey would make no announcement
on the successor to Mr.. Buck but that
he was positive that the new superin-
system man and that the office would
not be abolished. Mr.. Storey, however,
will make the announcement of the ap-
pointment from his office in Chicago.
In Topeka it is believed by a ma
jority of the officers in railway ciI-
John Purcell general superintendent
or shops on the system, and some other
mechanical man outside of Topeka.
For some time there has been talk
that on account of the long wait n
the appointment it was probable that
the Santa Fe was selecting an outside
man to take charge of the mechanical
department directly under Vice Presi-
dent Storey.
There were many theories to the eff
feet that the Santa Fe was planning
to establish the divisional system and
do away with the superintendent If
motive power. Instead under this sys-
tenn, all mechanical officers would have
to report to the operating officials. The
general manager would be at the head
of all work with the division superin-
tendents at the head of their divisions.
The mechanical men in Topeka and
along the lines of the road have been
radically against the divisional method.
A few of them have admitted that il
might be established on the road but
they gave it little encouragement.
Despite the statements of Vice Presl-
dent Storey, no one has positive line
up on the coming appointments. But
it is believed that they will be made
soon, now that Mr.. Storey has COM
pleted his trip of inspection and mas
been comforting with President Ripley.

in court and the judge said he could
not grant the decree unless she ap-
peared and agreed. Peter Sharps first
wife, Anne Catherine, became separated
from him in the confusion of the great
Chicago fire. Thirty years later be-
lieving her dead Sharp married again;
last year Anne Catherine appeared.

by giving the two women equal rights

suit he filed divorce against the newer
wife last November.
