definite movement. to this end. Next

The course to be taken on the return
trip has not been definitely decided

This proposed boulevard system as
mapped out by the committee is thirty
miles in extent. but it is not the idea
to work for the entire system at the

free right of way will be procured as
far as Martins hi.-

DIN OF COUNTRY!
Topeka Newspaper Man Tried
to Sleep at Country Inn.
Rattle of Motorcycles, Autos
and Trains Was Too Much.

There il one local newspaper man
who prefers the quietude OF good old
Topeka to the din and hustle of Waka-
rusa,
This newspaper man told his friends
today of how he violently applied for
admission to the y7akarusa hostelry at
II o clock the other night. The build
ing was dark. and it was almost nee
essary to kick the door in before
sleepy looking individual scantily clad
the proprietor-admitted the To-
peka man.
newspaper man was led up a narrow
flight of stairs, through two bed
rooms. and finally into large room
equipped with a rope fire escape He
was weary and believed he had hit
the right spot when he tumbled into
his ''downy.''
His dream of doing off into a state
of unconscious bliss was not realized
until two hours before train time. The
weather was too perfect; there were
night owls abroad. First it was
the chug-chug of an automobile, then
the almost deafening sounds produced
by motorcycle running at a 40 mile
pace with muffler open, and next the
screeching of locomotive whistle.
The city linn" is on the public high
way and sleep was impossible
1t was a great night for motorists
and the cars went whizzing by. Some
of them were headed for Topeka and
others were going in the opposite df-
rection- 1t was morning before quiet
reigned supreme for brief period of
time. The good breakfast in the morn
ing partially made up for discontinue
of the night.
The newspaper man had given a
stereopticon talk in the evening at
Auburn. 1t was one of the numbers

One Bank Recently Disposed OF
$4,000 In Quarters.
Nickels and Dimes Are in De-
mand in Capital City.

Topeka is fairly deiused with quar-
tiers,
Local banks are asked for change
by hundreds of persons daily. but
quarters are comparatively seldom re-
Quired And thus a surplus is Gre
ated. A few days ago the Bank of
Topeka shipped $4,000 in quarters to
ST. Louis In the last month this
bank has had $4,000 more in quar-
ters than it's business requires.
One source of influx for quarters is
a local weekly publication. but there
seems to be little demand for quar-
tiers on the part of Topeka shoppers
Because of a large five and ten cent
store business in Topeka and other
stores which receive much small
change much small coin is put into
circulation here. But the banks have
no surplus. The nickels and dimes
are used locally. One bank which re-
ceives hundreds Of dollars in small
change has no difficulty in disposing

Bank of Topeka. said today: This
town seems to be long on quarters

People come in for all kinds OF
change utseldom ask for quarters.
I'VE handle our small change To-
caIly with other banks. but in a

more than our business calls for.

in MUD, BURNS WAGON
Fred Hoppers Says His Folks Are
Well To DO, Anyway.

Responding to call from the En-
nest Cheney farm six miles northeast
of town on the Meriden road late Fri
day, Undersherif Hugh Larimer
found the blazing ruins of a campers
wagon before which stood its owner,
Fred Hoppers.4 who informed the Of
fcer that he had poured gasoline over
the vehicle and set it afre, himself.
Larimer, who brought Hoppers to
town and locked him up for safe
keeping. says the man was drunk.
Hoppers has been travelling about the
country. trading for a living. and is
well known to local authorities.
A companion named Anna Williams
whom Larimer met coming to Topeka
before he reached the burning wagon.
informed him that she had been trav-
cling with Hoppers but that when he
got drunk and set fire to The wagon
she had abandoned him, taking the
team of horses. which was her prop
erty She was riding to town with
another traveller. Ed johnson. who
pursues similar vocation as Hop
pers.
From Larimer's investigation it ap-
peared that Hoppers became disgust
ed with matters and thing when his
wagon became mired at Doggy place
in the road and that he just set it on
fire to show his general independence

Care of Tulips, Etc.

Washington. Nov. Tulip bulbs that

the early spring must be planted in the
late fall after heavy frosts or light
freezes have checked vegetation. They
should be planted about a month be-
fore the ground is liable to freeze ups
Other Holland bulbs" such as the
hyacinth and narcissus should be plants

Tulips should be set four inches
deep while hyacinths and narcissi
should be set six inches. in all cases

Care should be taken to have the bulbs
OF any variety of uniform size and
TO set them at n uniform depth. as on
this depends uniformity in time OF
blooming :.
As soon as the surface of the ground
freezes to a depth of TWO or three
inches, the bed should be covered with
coarse manure to prevent alternate
freezing and thawfne and also to pre-
vent freezing below the bottom of the
bulbs and so prevent the formation of
roots during the winter. As soon as
freezing weather is over in the spring
the mulch should be removed, at-leasf

The essentials for growing bulbs in
doors are that they shall become
thoroughly rooted before the tops are
permitted to grow. This is done by
planting the bulbs in soil either in
pots or what florists know as bans. y

even longer if desired.
Narcissi take about five weeks to
