Topeka TRADE TRIP.
Will Leave June for Colby. Out in
Thomas County. 5sgg

A tentative route for the Topeka
trade trip which is being arranged
by the Commercial club was consid-
cred at a meeting today and will prob
ably be definitely adopted some time
this week. 1t is the plan to go as far
as Colby in Thomas county. The trip
will be made June 2. 3 and 4, and the
plan is to organize a party of seventy
five or a hundred business men, and
take along a band of from fifteen to
twenty-fiv pieces.
The idea is to run to Belleville the
first night and take in MankatO,
Smith Center, Phillipsburg, and Nor
ton, among other towns on the way
to Colby. The route on the return
trip will probably be through Sheri-
dan, Graham, Rocks, Russell, Lincoln,
Saline, Dickinson, Geary, and Potta-
watOmie counties.
The local jobbers and manufactur-
ers and other business men, while on
the trip, will distribute tons of liter
ature.

working on the poster. Finally the less

the street below. rounded the corner

through the roof.
The artist Of the billboards was left
alone. He pulled his cap over his fore
head, shutting out the rays OF the sun.
and hitched up his black overa1ls, plas-
tered with white paint. He snapped one
brush in his teeth, and dipped another
in a bucket of liquid black.
He painted an eyebrow big enough
to be seen 500 feet away. Hanging to
the rope. he leaned back, surveying his
work. He gave the bakers boy a
laughing mouth, blue eye, and a row
of black curls. He didn't rest for an
instant, but continued painting high
above the busiest corner in the city.

ster in the street.

pended between two pulleys, and
floored with a board. to hold the cans

the bakers boy he went home, and
planned a new color scheme for the
next days work.

CARDINAL FERRATA DEAD

Rome, Oct. 1O.-CardinaI Domin-

died this afternoon, following an at
tack of appendicitis complicated by

will temporarily halt the efforts look

which the cardinal has begun, acting
under orders of Pope Benedict.
Cardinal Ferrata was one of the
most striking figures in the Roman

SUGGESTS PROSECUTOR TO AID
WOMEN TO GET ALlMONY

A public prosecutor to aid women
in collecting alimony from divorced
husbands is advocated by Judge
Owens. By relieving destitute fami-
lies who are at present living on
charity of the county because their
divorced husbands are not paying
their alimony, the jurist declared
that the plan would be self-support-
ing.
In cases where the divorced WO-
man hires a lawyer to collect the
sums due her she frequently has to
pay him the larger part of the
amount obtained" said Judge Owens.
