the people Of Topeka to vote bonds at |

ownership Of city electric light plant.
1t is thought better and cheaper SER
vice can be obtained by having the

Municipal Farm.
Should the bill introduced in the
legislature by Representative w. A.
s. Bird of Shawnee county, providing
for a municipal farm, succeed in pass
ing the senate-it has already passed
the house of representatives-itw would
be a good thing for North Shawnee
county to have some of her live boost
ers get busy and see if they couldn't
locate the proposed municipal farm in
the north part of the. county.
The north part of Shawnee county
is entitled to the municipal farm as
much if not more than another part
of the county. Good roads lead in all
directions from North Topeka and
there are numerous locations that
would be suitable for a farm of this
kind. So North Shawnee boosters
keep your eyes open.
