Some
Manufacturers
Must Be Taught

'The dealers all want
local newspaper advertis-
ing"
Any manufacturer of ma
tionally distributed goods
will tell you that.
The dealer wants the
manufacturer whose prod
uct he handles to help him
sell that product by Great
ing a demand in the dealers
own town.
There is no other way to
do this so effectively as
through the medium of the
daily newspaper.
What's the matter with
the manufacturer of ma
tionally distributed prod
ucts who will not advertise
in the daily newspaper
the medium that his deal
ers want, because they
know its value?
Nothing whatever, save
that the manufacturer does
not know. To date there
has been no one in a posi-
ton to tell him in a compre-
henSive way.
Live newspapers like
THE STATE JOURNAL
are hard at work now CO.
operating with other live
newspapers all over the
country to demonstrate to
national advertisers the eff
ficiency and the economy
of newspaper space.
Dealers who want local
advertising to help sell ma
tionally advertised goods
can get it if they will help
educate the manufacturer.
You dealers should work
hard for the manufacturer
who helps you sell his pro-
duct. You know there is
only one way he can really
help you do this, and that
is by advertising in the
daily newspaper.

Garfield PARK
City Commission Plans to Make
Improvements.
Ball Diamond, Tennis Court,
Drain and Sod.

If the present plans all are carried
out at Garfield park the park promises
to become far more attractive before
long. At present Commissioner Porter
has several we'll defined ideas about
what he wants to do Among them are:
Lay out a baseball diamond, graded
and drained.
Fill a low spot between the diamond
which will occupy the extreme eastern
part of the park, and the high ground
at the north.
Lay out a tennis court
Grade the main part of the park and
cover it with something, he has not
decided what, to eliminate the dust
nuisance.
Sod all the park except the high
ground among the trees where people
do most of their walking about.
Work toward the baseball diamond
is progressing rapidly, and 1T is pelns
brought to a grade. The dirt is being
used to fill a low place between the dia-
mond and the higher ground at the
north. A sewer is being laid to drain
the low ground and prevent it from
filling with water in wet seasons.
Later part of the field south of the
trees in the park may be utilized for
tennis courts, and a grand stand along
the dixie where a baseball game may
be witnessed may be erected. Home
plate in the new diamond will be at the
extreme southern part of the field. Por-
ter proposes, sometime perhaps, to
build a grand stand along the dixie
opposite the home plate and up toward
the first base line.
If the owners of the park concession
will build a decent building where the
present dilapidated cold drinks stand is
now located Porter says he will bring
the high ground of the park to grade
and cover it with something, perhaps
Ill fn
1t would add much to the attractive
ness of the park he believes.
At Lakewood park another baseball
diamond is being constructed At
Chesney park Porter is figuring on ten
mis- courts. He believes in diamonds
and courts and expects to place as
many of them in the parks as possible.
He even is considering a golfing field
at Gage park. and if he finds it exped-
lent may lay one out there someday.
But that is in the future. Just now
Gage and Lakewood parks are requir-
ing much of his attention.

TO THE ASYLUM.
Arthur Hannum, Well Known as
Harmless Character, Must Go.

Arthur Hannum, 80 years old, who
has been familiar figure on the streets
of Topeka for many years, was adjudg-
ed insane today in the probate court.
Drs. Ryder and Willard acting as the
examining commission. He is also an
epiIeptic, and it is possible that the
board of control will send him to the
Parsons school for epileptics.
Hannum is six feet three or four
inches tall, and always wore coats anu
trousers that were several sizes TOO
small for him. He passed considerable
of his time in the city and state libra
ries porting over all sorts of books,
but devoting most of his, attention to
books on religion and civil government.
He was a faithful attendant at Grace
cathedral and often told acquaintance
that he hoped to become eventually
bishop of the Episcopal church. He
also had an idea that he would be
president of the United States some
day, and said he had figured out many
methods of civil government that had
never yet been tried, and which he
was sure would be advantageous to the
people of this country If they could
be put in operation. He was secretlVe
as to what these methods were, say
ing that he intended to keep them to
himself until he became president.
He has generally been looked upon
by those who knew him as a harm
less, simple-rninded fellow. But his
sister, Miss Caroline Hannum, with
whom he has been living, at 1018 West
Sixth street, and who was the COM
plainant in the insanity proceedings
against him, stated in court that of
late he had assumed something of
threatening attitude towards her, and
that while he had never harmed her,
she had begun to fear that he would.
