I wonder how many people realize the extent of the good work done by the United Daughters of the Confederacy- work for charity and education, as well as the memorializaton of the dead, which to so many uniformed minds sums up their efforts. Yesterday Mrs. Charles
 Sharp discussed the recent meeting of
 the Alabama division of the |. D. c. In
 Greenville with so much enthusiasm and so much familiarity with its varied phases I that the organization as an influence, both I in bettering the conditions among the liv- I ing and reverencing the dead, was clearly defined. Mrs Sharp has long been a prom | inent member of the local patriotic organ | izations-the D. A. R. and the U. D. C. [heying served as presiding officer in her own chapter of each She delivered one of the strongest addresses before the con I vention last week in Greenvlle, and re-
 turned home imbued with the enthusiasm
 which the progress of her cherished or ganization. inspired. She considers the U. D. c. a great factor in the growth
 of the state, and her report of the meet l ing. given informally, justifies her pride. "Greenville was my fifth state conyen- tion,' she said, "so was able to be ready for the work, and I can tell you that il is vim work and hard work to meet the needs of the organization. But you should have seen," she added in burst of en-
 thusiasm, "how the women responded.
 You know they say women are stingy,
 that they will spend their husbands
 money frely and have anything under the
 cbo t,,f tt to Ilf
 ing up and putting down the cold cash
 they hesitate, and are generally lost!
 Every time personal appeals were asked
 for they met generous response, thus
 showing that women are thinking for
 themselves and having their own bank ac-
 count"
 Asked of the work of the organization. she said:
 'It may be summed up in these words: Our chapter motto, Loving Duty to the
 Past, Present and Future.' To the past
 we build monuments This year we raised
 over s7oo for our Arlington monument. Only Virginia has done so well. You know that all the Union heroes magnifi- cent monuments mark their last resting place. in that national cemetery, but for our lost cause not one monument stands, We expect to unveil 1t In November. Col. Hilary Herbert is the heart and soul of the movement. It will cost s50,000 when completed. For Gettysburg and Shiloh we raised several hundred dollars. These mon- unents will soon be finished, and then we will nave more time for our educational work.
 Education
 We have now scholarships in most of
 oul large universities In the south and
 east, and a scholarship in every promi- nent school in our state. We have paid
 up scholarships which amount to s&9O .5O,
 one known as the Alabama state scholar
 snip. The Virginia Clay Clopton. the Julia
 Tutwiler and this year we began another to be known as the Sallie Jones scholar ship. Miss Jones was the organizer and first president of the Alabama state dl- vision, U. D. c. These Scholarships are given only to descendants of worthy Con l Mderate soldiers, and they must show | that they are not able to obtain an edu- | cation through their own efforts. Our

Cochran Pitches Swell Ball
Against IsbeII's Crew.
Loses When Mcdonald Throws
Ball Away at Second.

If the writer were Isbell he would
bet that the Des Moines team would
win the pennant. For surely the flock
OF horseshoes and other good luck en-
blems that has lowered over the visit
ors here means little short of it. Put
the word Des Doines on baseball and
the Kaws can neither throw nor catch
1t.
All of which is the introduction pre-
paratory to the announcement that the
Isbells beat tn Kaws to 2. This in
itself is nothing extraordinary. But
Smiles Cochran held the visitors TO
a pair of hits while his team mates
made s safe ones. including a two bag
ger and lost the game. His own inabil-
Ity to see the fiat rock which stands at
the meeting of the third and first base
foul lines had something to do with it.
Here's how it happened. Collins, first
man up, drew transportation Kores
sacrificed him to scond. ions walkd
They tried the double steal and Bill
ings heaved to Mcdonald. Mac knocked
the ball down but couldn't tag Collins
He then threw to second to get Jones
who was not yet on the base. The ball
caromed off some ones shins into right
field and twc runs came in. Then
Cochran famed Claire and Reilly singl-
ed to right. Lee dropped Leonard's
fly and both of them scored when
Slight singled. Gardner killed Rogge
for the third out. And there went the
ball game.
The Kaws fought hard but as usual
fell short of the goal desired. Cochran
doubled in the fifth and scored on Lees
sharp single to center for the first run.
BaShang had already popped to Jones
and Reilly speared F'rench's grounder,
throwing Lee out at second and doup-
ling the short stopper at first. That
ended one chance.
Our valiant heroes jabbed the prong
into the Izzies in the sixth. With
Gardner gone Gear drew four bad ones
He went to second on McDonaId's in
field out and scored when Patterson
drove to right, beating the ball by
splendid running. And that was all TOR
the home guard.

TO LAY WALKS SOON

Require Two Months to Finish
Work. 81

Eight wheel scrapers with as many
teams and twenty men to work them
began moving dirt and grading streets,
roads and driveways in Pinehurst
Monday morning. The work of grad
| ing in the west forty will be COM
pleted by Saturday night, enabling
| the construction company to- begin
laying the cement walks in front of
each estate. Already the grading has
been done on the west side of Wash
burn avenue between Sixth and
Eighth streets. On both sides of Irv-
ington Road; Delmar, Kenova and
Medford Roads the grade has been es-
streets and this morning the gang was
working on Medford Road between
Seventh and Eighth and on Seventh
street.
The Gilmore Construction company
has promised to begin work next
Monday morning laying $4,000 feet of
concrete sidewalk and what is conced-
ed to be the largest job of the ma
ture ever undertaken in the city. As
soon as the graders have completed
the work in Pinehurst Estates west
of Washburn avenue, they will go
acre tract between Summit street and
Washburn avenue between Seventh
and Eighth and proceed to grade the
roads and drives ahead of the side
walk construction gang.
1.-THE work now actually started in
Pinehurst is a gigantic task" said
Mr.. N. B. Burge, president of the
Elmhurst Investment company
Never has there been a property
around the city of Topeka of the
character of Pinehurst that has been
improved and developed as Pinehurst
Estates. Melrose, adjoining Pinehurst,
while splendid addition to the city,
was simply staked off in lots and sold
for $165 to 5000 a lot without dol
lars worth of improvements. While
with Pinehurst I want to call atten-
ton, for example, to WiIdmere
Estate, equal to nine city lots which
may be bought now for $3.50 for the
estate, or less than $100 a lot. This
estate, for instance, is located on
Eighth street, the street car line will
pass this estate on it's way to Gage
park. For that matter, each estate
will receive great benefit from the
car line; each estate will have a four
foot cement sidewalk in front of it,
and the whole has now a complete
lighting system of its own
Mr.. Burge grew intensely earnest
when he said: "Pinehurst estates will
never be offered to the public within
the life of the people now living as
cheap as they are being sold right
now. There is but one way prices
will go in Pinehurst, and that is up.
AS soon as we have completed the
improvements in Pinehurst we will
raise the price-that will possibly be
about July 1. Those who buy in Pine
hurst six months from now will sim
ply pay more for the estates than is
being paid now
tates will be constantly and steadily
improved until they become a haven
of rest, a place of extreme beauty, q
group of productive homes.

The marshall was leaning against the

it's Inscription of ''Chief of Police
