eyes filling suddenly. We've had
We've had the time of our lives,"

your life with a man who's got another

makes no difference to you. The
time of your life with the man who
knew where to lay hands on the
weapon he'd done it with, who went as

Toye, with the utmost emphasis and

bit of downright bullying did her good.

COUNTYIS HARDUP
Rigid System OF Economy Has
Been Inaugurated.
Nearly S15O,OOO Out of General
Revenue Fund.

Strict economy will be the watch
word of the board OF county commits
sioners for the remainder of the year.
Expenses have been piled up so high
before the board that the members
fear that Shawnee county will be
broke before November, when the
money from the new tax levy will
be available. Up to June 30,
the end of the fiscal year for the
county, $145, 215.10 had been spent by
the county out of the general revenue
fund alone. 1t was estimated that
approximately $4,000 would be
spent by the county commissioners
for general expenses.
I'VE have just get to cut down,
declared Fred Nipps, d member OF the
board, this morning. Our expense
has been increasing so rapidly that
we will find ourself unable to pay the
bills if we do not cut down. This
isn't IL serious situation; it just means
that we will have to begin system
of rigid economy
The commissioners began their re-
trenchment policy this morning by
turning a deaf ear to Judge Hugh
MacFarland who wanted more equip
ment for the county detention home.
1t is planned by the board members
to cut off a little here and there so
that the burden of reducing expenses
will not have to be borne by any one
of the county institutions.

locked the dairyman in his cellar, ac-

FREE AUTO RACES
The First Motor Contest Ever
Staged at a Kansas Fair.
Local Speed Fiends Can Enter
by Qualifying.
CARS FROM OVER The COUNTRY
Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan
Fairs Contribute.
Track Said by Expert To Be an
Ideal Speedway.
CARS FROM OVER The COUNTRY

Automobile races will be one of the
leading features of the free state fair
which will be held here September
IS to II. Preliminary arrangeme rents
Huff Dorward, of Chicago, a repre-
sentative of the International Motor
Contest association, who stated that
Topeka and Kansas people would see
some of the best auto racing ever
held in this section of the country.
Dirt track cars from the Iowa, Mime
sofa, and Michigan fairs, will come to
Topeka. This is the first time the local
fair management has ever staged au-
tomobile racing events at the fair
grounds.
Certain rules and regulations for
the safety of the crowd and drivers
of the cars must be followed and in
order to have this done Mr. DorWard
appointed w. w. Webb, of Topeka, as
special representative of the associa-
ton. Mr. Webb, in the old bicycle
days was chief consul for the League
of American Wheelmen and has had
experience in handling such work.
An Ideal Speedway.
Mr. Dorward and Mr.. Webb went out
to the fair grounds and inspected the
track facilities and made several rec
concentrations as to changes in the
track that would insure safety to the
crowd and eliminate some dangerous
places.
the track is an ideal half-mile dirt
speedway" said Mr.. Dorward, when
he returned from the fair grounds,
land L have no doubt that the first
auto meet ever held in Topeka will
be = success. The cars that run on
dirt tracks are built differently from
those used on the wooden speedways
but they furnish just as many thrills
for the spectators
All entries for the races must be
made with Mr.. Webb. Only drivers
who have met the requirements of the
International Motor Contest asSOcia-
ton will be allowed to enter the events.
Any local speed bugs" who have a
desire to enter the races may do so
by making qualifying races before Mr..
Webb and meeting the requirements
for drivers. If any local driver quail
ifles he can enter in the free-for- all
events.
