front and main driving-pedestals has
a long bearing on the upper frame
rails; and similar brace supporting
waist sheet is placed between the main
and rear driving-pedestals. The
frames are further braced at the
splice between the main and rear Sec
lions, by a large casting which sup
ports the front end of the firebox and
carries the radius-bar pin for the back
engine truck. This truck is of the
Rushton type, with outside journals;
a design that has applied to a large
number of locomotives built for the
tory results. In this locomotive, the
truck frame is composed entirely of
steel castings. and the swing links are
of the three-point suspension type.
About Driving Boxes
The driving boxes are of cast steel,
with brass faces which bear against
the hubs of the steel wheel-centers.
The shoe and wedge faces of the boxes
are also lined with brass, while the
shoes and wedges are of cast iron.
F'lange oilers are applied to the lead
ing driving-wheels.
The tender has a capacity for TO-
900 gallons of water and $500 gallons
of oil. The frame is composed of L.

ELECTRICITY AT GAYLORD.
City Votes Bonds for Lighting: Elk
tend to Other Towns.

Gaylord, Kan, April 1O.-Bonds to
the amount of $1,000 have been voted
for the construction of an electric light
plant here. 1t is planned to build a
transmission line to Ports and Downs.
Gaylord will have a "a hour service
at a less cost than the smaller towns
can maintain a plant. The new light
system will be in operation within six
months.
G. R. Stephenson, who is manager
of the Chicago lumber yard here and
head of the telephone company for
many years, was elected mayor. There
are several projects before the new
city administration which if carried
through will add to Gaylord's reputa-
ton as one of the best towns in the
Solomon valley

Pittsburg, Kan, April 10.-Dr W.
A Brandenburg, president of the
State Manual Training Normal. has
been elected president of Phillips uni
versity at Enid, Okla. A committee
from the univerSity's board of trus-
tees is coming to Pittsburg this week

ago. He has made extensive plans

future before it and the offer made
to DR.. Brandenburg is an attractive
one.

the teachers in the school room and
there will be demonstration on the
school grounds or in windows where
no ground is available The principals
will have general charge of the work
until the close of school; after that
will visit the home gardens and give
the contestants practical advice
probably H. c. Pope of the manual
training department, who is well fitted
for the task.
Bulletin Gives Suggestions.
In a bulletin to the principals H B.
Wilson, superintendent OF city schools
gives some suggestions relative to the
nature study or garden work The
bulletin reads in part:

which is intended to make possible the

Nature of Instruction.
at is evident that the children of
the various grades can not participate
with interest and with profit in the
same treatment of all the topics taken
up While all grades may plant seeds
for the purpose of studying their
termination and growth, the children
of the middle and upper grades will
! be able to do and understand many
things which the children of the first
and second grades can neither do nor
understand. 1t will be profitable to
plant seeds, that the children may see
them growing, in water in glass bot
ties or jars, between layers of moist
bIotting paper or in sawdust or soil
I'm the middle and upper grades,
interesting composition work might
be developed based upon planting ex-
periences. but the reading which the
children would do would be for the
purpose of deepening their knowledge
of the termination of seeds and the
growth of plants.
I'm the first and second grades, the
teacher may develop interesting read
ing lessons or simple language lessons
based upon the observation of the
children
I'm the lower grades, the children
will mainly follow careful directions

planting and as to spacing, and also.
as to the preparation of the soil In

Onion sets are quite satisfactory for
bringing quick results.

Many new features have been es-
tablished since H. B. Wilson became
superintendent of schools tending to-
ward efficiency. The business course
has been strengthened, and a wise
move was made when a new position
was created-vocational counselor
and J. F. Kaho was appointed to the
place. The effectiveness of the voca-
tional work has been materially in
creased in the last few months.
Engineering Club.
Ninety boys in the high school indi-
Gated by their enrolment cards that
they are seriously considering the pro-
fession of engineering as their life
calling.
To carry out investigation and study
along this line they organized a club,
electing William Douglas as the first
president.
At the first meeting an address was
given by L. NJ. Jones, superintendent
of telegFaphy of the Santa Fe. Mr.
Jones told of the many improvements
made recently in biography. and ex-
planned in considerable detail the sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy. He told
of the achievements of amateurs
throughout the United States, some of
which had come under his own obser-
Walton He said that the field still
offered opportunities for improve
ments and new inventions. At the
close of the meeting many boys who
are interested in wireless gathered
around Mr.. Jones to ask questions.
NJ H Haig, engineer of the Santa
Fe gave an address that was instruc-
tive.
The club desires to bring one of To-
peka's leading architects to a meet
ing in the near future to discuss archi-
tects as a profession. Another subject
on which they desire expert informa-
ton Is foundry and iron work. Sew
eraf trips are planned to the railroad
and other Industrial shops of the city
during the remaining half of the
spring term.
The constitution provides that any
member who gives a scientific DEM
onStration before the club. or contrib
utes anything of scientific value. espe-
clally related to engineering NAV be
enrolled as an honorary member

Best Varieties of Seed.
The question of the careful prepara-

column. What to plant is thing
that will be of interest to the gar
denerS.
o. F. Whitney, practical gardener
of North Topeka and who is secre-
tary-eIect of the State Horticultural
society, has given some suggestions
in respect to the best varieties of seeds
to purchase. There are other stand
ard varieties which are not mentioned
in the list that are good, but children
who buy the varieties included will
not go wrong.

6Y n. C. BYRD.

A great fight may be expected in the
race for the high school foot ball
championship. The probabilities are
that all the teams will be stronger
than last year, and that they will be
evenly enough matched to prevent any
one making a runaway of the race for
title. Although Technical won the
honors in 1914 by taking four straight
contests. it did so only after desperate
encounters, and the eleven which fin
ishes ahead this fall is pretty sure to
attain it's ambition only after a series
of just such close games.
Technical. Central and Business have
the largest squads from which to Sc
lect their teams, but Western and
Eastern have nearly always managed
to keep in the fight and give the larger
schools all they were looking for in
the way Of competition, and sometimes
more. Tech. Central and Business be-
gin their seasons with splendid pros
poets. Their squads of last year are
intact to a great extent, though one or
two good men have been lost from
each. Western has back the most of its
1914 team. while enough of Eastern's
have returned to give it nucleus
around which to build a capable COM
bination.
All the schools are at work, Western
holding its first work this after
noon. Central and Tech have had their
candidates in uniform for more than a
week, and Eastern and Business got
their players out for the first time
yesterday.
All the elevens seemed to be assured
OF efficient instruction. Kimble, a for
mer Delaware College star, is in charge
at Eastern; Paul White, who got his
experience at Michigan. has been teach
ing Business elevens for several years
Thomas. in charge at Central was {.

rector of Techs destinies, was one of
the greatest linemen Georgetown and

brilliantly at quarterback at George

With good coaching and excellent ma
terial the high school teams this sea-
son should excel those of 1914 in gen
