have the tendency to increase the land
values in Topeka.
The report of c. H. Wilmington,
made to the real estate men on the re-
suits accomplished in the 1912 con-
test proves it is possible for the school
children to earn an aggregate of
thousands Of dollars in growing gar
den truck.
Report of Supervisor.
The report follows:
LAS supervisor of gardens last year
submit the following report: Last
spring over 1900 pupils were enrolled
in the home garden classes from the
% grade schools, 262 pupils entering
schools with a total enrolment of 270
and $50 pupils had So and "a per cent
enrolled in garden classes and Is and
10 per cent planting their first gar
dent
THE total amount given for prizes
last year was $3.50. Your prizes of
$3.50 for the gardens giving the best
financial returns per square yard were
won by Dewey Mathews, "a cents per
square yard; Norton Conrad, 20 cents,
, and Eugene Roose, Is cents. Over 200
of the 1900 pupils entered this contest;
80, or 16 per cent, continued their
80 kept itemized account books. The
average amount sold by each pupil
was $16.36.
IF each of the 1900 pupils enrolled
mean $24,840.00 worth of vegetables.
This, however, is not probable, but we
are certain in each case much valuable
garden produce was grown, and the
homes were thus supplied with strict
ly fresh, appetizing and wholesome
food.
I'm conclusion 1 wish to thank
your association for your prize offered
| last spring. 1t is by these incentives
that we hope to start the children,
through their home gardens, toward
the greater prizes of home interest,
thrift and civic pride"
Women Make Appeal.
The Women's Commercial club will
send out this circular letter to scores
of Topekans with the idea of procur-
ing financial assistance in the garden
plan:
Topeka likes to lead, as the world
knows, but she is also happy to follow
any lead that has proven helpful to
people of other cities. We know the
good accomplished in other places
through children's gardens.
I'VE realize that the conditions in
our city are such that many children
are entirely without occupation dur
ing the school vacation. That they
may have congenial, healthful, and
helpful employment we are pushing
the home garden plan.
''That there may be an incentive for
the best efforts of the children we
hope to be able to offer prizes to the
most successful gardeners. AS III Oil
lines of business there must be in
struction, we trust that we may be
able to secure money enough to en-
ploy a capable man, or men, to give
their time and instruct the young
people who enter the contest.
1--WE feel that the out Of door en-
ployment will close many doors of
temptation and lead to lifetime help
fulness.
THAT you may enjoy with us the
consciousness of having helped in this
work we ask your generous contribu-
ton of money. We shall greatly APP
preciate your donation and co-opera-

be made Superintendent A. L. Alb
bott of the Iowa division several
years ago with the Nebraska DIVISION,
has left the service, and rumor has
it that A. w. Kelso of Fairbury is
TO succeed him. Who is to succeed
Kelso is not stated. Abbott has been
with the company for th1rty-seveh
perintendent of the Des Moines valley
division of the RockIsland. He was
succeeded by Charles L. Brown, for
merly of the Nebraska division.
The shakeup of the Rock Island,
which included the departure of Su-
perintendent Abbott and d. c. Sha-
fer. baggage agent of the road at
Des Moines, is said to be a result OF
hours late with disheartening ire
quency.
Abbott is the sixth that has Deen
made in the first district OF tne I Oin
island within the past year: only
two superintendents of the old regime
remain. The superintendent that
have been changed are wilson OF the
Dakota division, Give OF the M1nnesoi
ia division, Kennedy of the Missouri
division and Abbott of the Iowa dl-
vision. Kelso has not been on the
Nebraska division more than year.
Various schemes have been tried TO
prevent delays, and CONSEQUENT ire
ouent near violation of the eighteen
hour law. Not long ago all the pas,
senger conductors on Nos. and and
and g., running out OF Councl!
Bluffs to PhillipSburg, were required
to move their layovers to Philips
burg where an extra crew was also
kept. Nearly all these conductors
have families living in Council BIufrs'
and there was "holler" made that
could have been heard in Chicago
After a few weeks trial the order was
changed and the men resumed thelr
old layovers.
General Manager Whittenton is
much talked of man in Rock lslano
circles Superintendent Abbott mao
been with the company since 1875. He
began as telegraph operator and was
successfully dispatcher, tralnmasteI
and superintendent In 1881 ne Wen'
TO the Colorado Midland as tra1nmaS-
fer. but he returned to the ROCK
island in 1898 as chief dispatcher in
Colorado. He went to Horton, KAN
as trainmaster in 1896 and later was
appointed superintendent of the south
ern division. He was Superlntenoenl
of the Colorado division from 19o2
until 1906, when he was sent to one
of the northern divisions as super1n-
tendent He came to the Iowa OWL
sion about two years ago.
d. c. Shafer, just deposed as bag
gage agent at Des Moines by j. j.
Klinger, has been baggage agent for
the company for years. He received a
nromotion from Des Moines about ore
year ago at an advance in salary
Not liking Chicago as a home place, he
returned to Des MoineS at a slight
reduction in salary.

Japan Would RetaIiate.

Sacramento, Cal, March 22.-An
alien land law to exclude Japanese
from ownership of real property in
California can be enacted only at the
cost of Japan's support of the San
Diego and San Francisco expositions
in 1915, according to messages and
personal warnings received by MEM
bers of the legislature. Before the
subcommittee in charge of land bills,
Frank S. Britain, attorney for the
Panama-Pacific exposition, declared
that not only would such a law offend
Japan, but that it would seriously af-
feet England and Germany, both of
which nations desire a liberal Orien-
tai representation guaranteed before
their merchants and manufacturers
cooperate.
