The living model display began at

crowd which had gathered extended

Attendants and nurses were present
and the twenty-five youngsters had
great time sliding down a shoot-the-

This was kept up until O'Clock. Then

President Ripley, of Santa Fe,
Adopts Innovation for Meeting.
Stockholders of Railway Asked
TO Express Views in Writing.
IF THEY ALL CAME TO TOPEKA
E. L. Copeland Could Not Find
a Hail Large Enough.
$4,000 Persons i'm Possession of
A. T. & S. f. Shares.

e p Ripley, president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, has
addressed a letter to the company
$4,000 stockholders, asking them to
make suggestions regarding the man
agement, or offer any criticism which,
in their Judgment, would be to the
company's advantage
1t is believed that this is the first
time a railroad president has gone SO
far Mr. Ripley used the call for the
annual meeting of Santa Fe StOckhold-
ers in Topeka October % as the me-
dunn for expressing some new views
regarding the privileges and duties or
those who own shares in corporations
He said:
1.-The fact that stockholders of large
corporations seldom attend meetings,
or otherwise exercise their right to
crfticise the management, or otherwise
express opinion, is often commented
on unfavorably, and is sometimes
claimed to be responsible Tor instances
of mismanagement resulting in disas-
ter Your directors, in soliciting your
proxy, do so because it is necessary
that a quorum be present, eltner by
representation, or in person: any
stakeholder has the right and is here
by requested to make either at the
meeting or in writing such suggestions
or criticisms as may appear to him for
the advantage of the company;
The officials here do not Know
whether any considerable number OF
stockholders will avail themselves OF
the oppOrtunity offered to attend the
meeting, or write their views. I'VE
have not yet received any expressions
but there is plenty of time" said e. L.
Copeland, secretary and treasurer.
The stockholders meetings usually
are attended by a dozen or more OIL
cials including President Ripley ana
some of the directors, who vote all the
stock as owners, or proxy holoers-
Only once in twenty years has STOCK
holder outside of the official family
been present AT the meeting a year
ago a stakeholder from South Dakota
"a farmer-participate by voting his
stock, and making a speech He was
passing through Topeka, and stopped
over for a day.
81 lust wanted to see how the job
is DONE the farmer said. 81 am sat
isfied," he added.
If a fraction of one per cent OF the
Stockholders should attend the forth
coming meeting, Secretary Copeland
would have to hire a hall This. now
ever, is not likely; but it is highly
probable that an expression or opinion
will be received from large number
of stockholders. 1t is this opinion that
President Ripley has called for.
AS the Santa Fe is one of the few
western railroads which has been pay
ing dividends regularly for several
wears, it is probable that President
Ripley will be satisfied with the opin-
ion he gets.

HEssIAN FLY Is DOOMED.
Wheat Pest Is Now Being PlOwed
Under by Farmers.

Station reports to the general
freight department of the Santa Fe
railway in Topeka indicate that 60 per
cent of the wheat crop is still in the
stack or shock. However, threshing
is progressing more rapidly than at
any other time this season.
The heavy rains this fall, which re-
tarded blowing, will prove a blessing
to wheat growers. The excessive mois-
ture brought out a big crop of Hessian
flies as a result of the luxuriant
growth of volunteer wheat, according
wheat is now being plowed under and
with it goes the Hessian visitor to his
doom.
Early corn in Santa Fee territory has
matured and late corn is coming along
nicely. The fourth and last crop of
alfalfa is under the sickle and the
yields of kaffir and feterita will be the
largest in the states history.

Primitive people are careful OBJ
servers of nature" DR.. Thompson
says in his paper. land it is to this
that they owe their skill in hunting
and woodcraft. These ancient Peru
Wan Indians observed that once in
a while warriors who had received a
serious injury of the head recovered
instead of dying. In the curse of
time they learned that these ecover-
les were due to n of several causes.
1.-The skull in the living subject is
very resilient. and it may have hap
pened occasionally that when a piece
of the skull wall was displaced or
denied, thus COMPRISING the brain,
this offending fragment suddenly
Sprang back into place, thereby re-
lieving the symptoms and affording
the patient a chance to

massage of the body, and they even
tapped the head Of the dying man
with a baton. This latter action might
readily result in lucky repair of the
broken skull.
''Then. again, after a warrior had
lain unconscious for many days, the
splintered and broken bits Of bone
might necrose and be sloughed off at
the bottom have resulted in a recov-
also might have resulted in a tail ?h
cry.
when the medicine men had OBJ
served these phenomena a few times
their next logical step would be to
attempt to assist nature in her pro
cess of restoration. They did this
by prying the displaced fragments
into place and by digging out, often
with their finger tips, splintered bits
of bone. Another Of their observatios
was that a wound with sharp, clear
cut edges would heal much more rap.
idly than one with a rough or jagged
contour.

was that they attempted to CONVEX
