WOULD HELP HOME BUYERS
House Measure Would Allow Cities to
Purchase or Build Houses
for Sale.

Topeka.-A measure that would en-
able Kansas cities to nelp the citizens
secure homes of their own, was intro
duced in the House Of Representatives
recently. 1t provides that city may
hold an election to issue bonds for the
purpose of purchasing or building
homes. If the plan is approved any
resident may apply to the city for aid
in securing a home. If the application
is accepted by the city commissioner
or city council, $4,000 in bonds may be
issued to buy the property listed in
the application. The city retains the
deed until the home owner has paid
all of the installments on the bonds
and the interest in equal weekly,
monthly or quarterly instalIments,
covering a period of fifteen years and
then the deed to the property is to be
transferred to the real owner, who
has lived in the property all that time.
The city is given authority to re-
ject applications from those who may
have sufficient income to buy them
selves a home and it may reject appli-
cations of those who are addicted to
the use of liquors or have been con-
vieted of crimes involving moral tur-
pitude.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
HAS FINE EXHIBIT

One of the most interesting and
largest exhibits at the Dairy and
Cattle Show, Waterloo, Ia, Sep
tember 81 to October 8, 1915, was
that of the Northern Pacific. This
railroad exhibited at the show last

and better than ever and all who

see this popular exhibit.
The exhibit was i'm charge of l..
J. Bricker, General immigration
Agent, and visitors were well
|,pleased with hearing an inter-
esting description and informa-

and Oregon. From this great
stretch of land the immigration
Department gathered grains,
grasses, vegetables, fruits, sea
foods and other things that were
sent to Iowa to delight the eye
and establish i'm the minds of the
people of Iowa, the fact that the
great empire traversed by the
Northern Pacific is worthy and de
serving of attention.
A hand painted map showing
seven thousand miles of the
roads territory was an interest
ing item. Over 100 jars showing
fruits, vegetables, berries, sea
foods and a variety of things that
soil, bushes and trees produce
when proper attention is accorded
was exhibited. One large jar con-
tanned fourteen distinct varieties
Of vegetables. Twenty pears, the
smallest eight inches in circum-
ference, were shown as the pro-
duct of one little limb. A splendid
quality of corn from the Yellow

be held at Grand Forks, Novem-

gram includes topics of interest
to all classes of teachers and TO

We would urge upon teachers

that a large number from Rich

The law provides that teachers
may be allowed to attend this

and we trust that school boards
will give them the privilege of do
