tanned the beauties. 1t was the big
gest day at the Santa Fe passenger
station since General Freddie Funston
visited the city hero many years
ago. The special train carrying the
girls to the Pacific coast fairs-girls
chosen by newspaper contests in all
the eastern cities and under the di

pany-was met at the Santa Fe depot
by a guest list that would place any
Topeka society function to shame.
The girls captivated and dazzled the
young, midd1e-aged and old men.
And after an enhancing automobile
ride, it was with the deepest regret
to both hosts and guests to see the
magnificent Universal Beauty special
pull out of the Santa Fe depot on it's
wild, careening way westward Over

When the special pulled into Topeka
at 12:45 D. m. the depot and plat

WIDOWS PENSION DENIED
Sioux City Judge Puts New lntsrprs-
tation on Law and Lists Applicants
~ Paupers - Supervisors Ai's9s
Abuse Of Law.

Sioux City, Nov. 12.-When the plea
Of Mrs. Nellie Bentley for widows
pension under the Iowa law was pre-
sented to Judge Jepson, of the district
court, it was denied on the ground that
the petition was made under wrong
construction of the law.
Judge Jepson declared that in order
to bring such pleas properly before the
courts attention a charge OF delln-
Quency against the children must be
placed and that the nthe court must
use its discretion as to whether the
children concerned should be sent to
a state institution or supported IN their
mothers home with pension aid.
Mrs. Bentley has one child, about IL
years old. She lives at Twelfth and
Court streets. Her husband was killed
about TWO years ago in fight County
Attorney Q. T. Naglestad appeared
with the woman in court. 1t was to
him that Judge Jepson announced his
stand on pension cases.
Members of the county board of
supervisors have fought granting
of widows pensions since the state
law became operative. Since the earlier
days of its application they have had
the support of the district judges in
their contentious. The board has taken
the stand that it must be given an
opportunity to investigate cases and
to decide whether the applicant should
be granted that form OF assistance.
Members have pointed out that the
county pays hundreds OF dollars a
year 10 help support public institutions
for children, and that the money is
spent to provide help in just such
cases as those which are brought to
light in the pension pleas.

CORN BLOWN DOWN IN FIELDS.
Poor Crop in Peweshiek Damaged by
Wind and Rain.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Montezuma, Nov. 1e.-Corn picking
has been going on for severa! days. A
yield Of sixty bushels, per acre is re-
ported from one farm. There is
quantity but not quality IN many
places. The high winds of Sunday and
since have broken Off much corn. The
rain has not improved the conditions
any. The farmers are fearful that the
corn they are gathering Will not keep
but they feel that they should get it
out OF the field as soon as possible.
There are those who wonder where
the rosy figures given out by the gov
eminent officials are manufactured.
With poor corn over the entire corn
belt, deficient il both quality and
quantity, the statement that the yield
this year IS the most valuable ever
does not seem possible. 1t is noted
that the new crop is figured at the
same price now prevailing for old
corn. No allowance is made for pres
ent conditions
