FRED B. SMITH TALKS
TO M'KINLEY STUDENTS

Character Building as the Main Es
sential in Education" was the subject
CT an interesting address given by
Fred B. Smith before the students of
Mckinley High School at nine
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Smith confined his remarks
largely to the value CT character in the
everyday affairs of life. No matter
how brilliant a man may be, he said,
and no matter how capable he may
lie as concerns intellect, he will fail
absolutely unless he has character:
The speaker made a rather bold, yet
true, statement when he said that very
little was ever accomplished in this
world by anyone who did not have
character. Student after student fails
because his character does not come
up to the standard, he said. He urged
the students to pay special attention
to their studies, especially history, and
at the same time to lay the foundation
of a good, clean character. He urged
athletics in the schools, and while this
was going on he laid stress on the fact
that character should be nailed down
hard
81 have nade a study Of schools for
the past fifteen years. he went on to
say. 81 have seen students come into
school as freshmen who looked as if it
would take them ten years to finish
the four year course. They were slow,
but they had character, and they sue.
Ceeded. Then, on the other hand Il
have seen students enter school who
appeared. from their manner and &C
tons as If they we're capable Of COM
pleting the course in fifteen weeks.
There are always two or three Of this
kind in every school. You know the
kind that | mCan-the smart AlcCkS,
the kind Of cheap blackboard who
walks around the campus with an air
that would tend to make people step
out of the way so tia, he could pass
by. Do these students succeed? No,
because they Lave no character"
While Mr.. Smiths talk was one of
intense interest. it was perhaps the
Quartette which came in for the great
est share of the applause. This was
the first time the high school students
had heard the singers, and the quar-
,ctte was forced to sing three times
Following the address Mr. Smith
and the members Of the Quartette
were shown over the building by Pro-
fesSOr Sect.
Raymond Robins spent the morning
visiting the different schools OF the
city. delivering an address at Oahu

ROBINS To TALK
(contInueG from Page y

over by John R. Gait, chairman of
the social service committee OF the
local campaign. The National AS
ISOLATION Quartet which has gained
much favor in the eyes Of the Homo
lulu people, will render several selec-
tons prior to the address of the
evening.
The two institutes which are held
this. afternoon will be of unusual i'm
portance. Mr.. Robins conducts one in
the makai pavilion of the Young
Hotel, beginning at half-past four
o'clock, and takes up the question of
boys work. Mr.. Smiths institute is
held in the Odd Fellows Hall at half
past four o'clock, and the subject of
community extension is presented.
This is a new and interesting phase
of Christian work which appeals es-
pecially to men who believe that it is
tue mission of the church to go out
among the highways and lanes and
urges the people to come in. This
plan Of work contemplates meetings
in shops, factories, military posts,
etc, and especially Bible study groups
in different parts of the city. E. w.
Peck of the quartet, has some inter
esting things to say in this connec-
ton. All the men of the city who are
interested in this line of work and
think that it should be promoted, are
asked to attend this institute, This
phase of the work is distinctly lay
mans work on account of the fact
that the pastors of the churches of
any city cannot begin to cover the
ground, but where there IS a policy of
community extension, the work may
be accomplished successfully.

MANY YLAND DEALS
Real Estate Market Is Active
Big Deals Closed.
Erection of Dwellings in To-
peka Continues Apace.

Notwithstanding the fact that this
is recognized as the season of the year
when the market in land is particular
ly dull, some sales have been closed
recently that are noteworthy.
Frank Stout has sold 220 acres of
land lying twelve miles southwest of
Topeka, and two miles east of Auburn
to the Kidd brothers. for the consider
alton of $17,6OO or eighty dollars per
acre.
This property included over one
hundred acres of choice Wakarusa
bottom land. Mr.. Stout, the former
owner will make his home in Topeka
next spring. The Kidd brothers have
managed the farm of the late Major
William Sims, who was the promoter
of Oak grange.
Land has been selling rapidly in the
one hundred and one acre Belvoir
estate, north of Potwin.
c. P. Bolmar has purchased through
Wilson & Neiswanger ten acres of bot
tom land for the consideration of $3.50
per acre. Otis S. Allen has bought
two acres of land in this property for
$3.50. A E. Eastberg has bought five
acres of bottom land at the rate of two
hundred dollars an acre. Clarence
Eastberg has purchased one acre of
ground on Grove avenue for $3.50.
Three attractive sites on Grove ave-
nue-tnree quarters OF an acre eacn-
have been purchased by NJ. L., Theo-
dore, and Clinton Zercher at the rate
of $1,000 an acre.
There is still considerable activity in
respect to home building, and the
prospects are that when the spring
opens the clink of the hammers will
be heard in all parts of the city parti
cularly in the residential additions.
In 1912 the Shawnee Agency and
the Clearinghouse Realty Co, erected
total of 13O dwellings, the Shawnee
Agency IS, and the Clearinghouse
firm, As. The majority of these dwell
ings were sold on the installment plan.
These firms now have a number of
dwellings in course of construction
and expect to continue operations
throughout the winter as far as
weather conditions will permit. Next
spring both firms will erect many
houses. The Clearinghouse company
has solid block of dozen cottages
in cOntemp platiOn.

TO REDUCE PRICE
Marshall Hints at Compromise
i'm Gas Controversy.
Rate Fair to People Likely to
Be Established.

Kansas City, Jan. 4.-Judge Pollock,
of the Kansas federal court, summoned
the Kansas Natural receivers to his
court at 10 o'clock today to make rec
concentrations.
The announcement of the meeting
followed a conference with Judge Pol
lock behind closed doors this afternoon
attended by John Marshall, attorney
for the Kansas public utilities commits
sion; Arthur Fuller, city attorney for
Pittsburg, Kan; S. L. Walker, city at
torney of Columbus. Kan, and Judge
E. z. Sapp, of the district court, Ga
lena. Kan.
Judge Pollock told the conferees to
return at 10 o'clock today and he would
have the receivers present.
Conway F. Holmes, one of the Kan
sas Natural receivers, said he would
obey the summons. George Sharitt
another receiver. has left the gas fields
for Kansas City. Eugene Mackey, the
third receiver, is in Pittsburg.
The meeting of the mayors at Kan
sas City, Kan, passed a resolution re-
questing Attorney John Marshall, of
the utilities commission, to attend the
conference called by Judge Pollock and
asking him to make request of the
judge that the order making raise in
gas prices be rescinded.
Judge Pollock'S order will not be en-
forced until representation of the cities
and distributing companies have had an
opportunity to be heard in court. This
was the announcement of Attorney
Marshall at the meeting of the repre-
sentatives of 40 cities of Missouri and
Kansas.
''I am not saying that Judge Pol
lock told me the order of last Monday
would be rescinded,'' Mr.. Marshall said,
"but I have good grounds for believ-
ing there will be action toward the
end that the people will obtain a rate
which will be reasonably fair, although
it may not be entirely satisfactory to
them. At this time I cannot say any
thing further, but I feel confident that
before the controversy is ended there
will be a change which will satisfy the
residents of the cities represented
here
A mass meeting to discuss the gas
situation will be held at Convention
hall here tomorrow night. Mayor Jost
will preside.

POST is SUCCESS
Many Mistakes Made by Pa
irons in Use of Stamps.
Business Exceeds by 200 Per
Cent Estimates for 5 Days.

New York. Jan. 4.-Although the Off
ciaI report of the initial success of the
parcel post system at New York is not
to be rendered until after two weeks
trial, in three days Postmaster Nor
gan has found some defects which he
believes will have to be remedied to
make the new service a success in the
metropolis.
He declared today that he believed
that the parcels post was defective in
that it did not permit small packages
to be dropped into street boxes instead
of requiring that they be mailed at
one of the designated postoffice sta
tions. Even a yeast cake, if sent at
parcels post rate must now be carried
to postoffice. Mr.. Morgan also
thought that in time the government
would see fit to collect parcels, as the
express companies do.
More than 800 persons made the mis-
take yesterday of mailing packages
"by parcel post" without placing a
distinctive parcels post stamp thereon.
With the estimate, however, that So
900 parcels for the new post were de-
livered at the different offices in this
city, Postmaster Morgan believed the
success of the parcel post business is
assured. Already it exceeds by 200 per
cent the estimate made for it during
the first few days, and the New York
Office is having today to put a large
number of extra clerks to work
