HOW YOU CAN HELP
INSURE YOUR INCOME

You insure your house. your
store, your stock of goods. Yet
fire may never come.
You insure yourself and your
automobile against the liability of
an accident that may never happen.
Yet whether your income is de-
rived from days work, from a sal
aried position. from rented proper
ty or from a mercantile business, it
is sure and certain only so far as
you have opportunity market
for your stock in trade.
And if demand for these things
drops, it is no accident. 1t will be
the direct result of the keen COM
petition of other cities and towns
whose business and professional
men cooperate to insure continu-
Gus and rising incomes for their
citizens.
There is work for all and oppor-
tunity for all in live and growing
towns
Labor is employed at good wages.
There is more demand for able
men. Salaried positions pay bet
ter. Houses are in demand: they
lose 70 money by standing empty.
People live better. Grocery bills
more promptly. Fewer families
have to be carried over dull
times.
You can help build the sort of
town that attracts live business men
and bigger business opportunity.
You can help meet and overcome
the vigorous competition of neigh
boring cities that now attract the
business and the business oppor-
tunity that Topeka should have.
You can help insure your income
thru your earnest cooperation with
the rest of Topeka. in the Topeka
Commercial club.

Mueller Case Will
Go to Higher Court

jamestown, July 29.-Today Judge
j. A. Coffey pronounced sentence upon
John Mueller for the murder of VAL
entine Hens. He was sentenced to 80
years in the state penitentiary. Stay
of execution was granted, however, to
give time for his attorneys to prepare
an appeal In court today Attorney
knauf stated that he would move for
a new trial.
It is considered doubtful whether
Judge Coffey will grant the petition,
although if the defense can show
that the deliberations of the jury
were interfered with or that there
were other Irregularities in the trial,
it will doubtless be granted.
If the motion is denied, said Mr..
Knauf, an appeal will be taken to the
state supreme court.

Kathryn Elevator and MIL Will
BeI Modern, Stylish Structure

Last week the Kathryn Farmers
Elevator company let the contract for
the erection Of 50,000-bushel capacity
elevator, -four mill and power house.
The successful bidder was the J. B.
Nelson Construction company, of Man
.kato, MINI.
The same company has the contract
for the Valley City Grocery company
warehouse here, and N. A. Nelson, who
is the foreman on this job, will also
have charge of the work at Kathryn.
The plans as shown by Mr.. Nelson
call for a circular concrete elevator
with a diameter of 43 feet and a
height of 94.7. There is to be an area
way in the center from top to bottom
with diameter Of IL feet, affording
light and connection with every bin,
of which there are 20.
This structure will be unique in the
matter of elevators, as the design is
patented by the architect, J. H. A.
Brahtz, of st. Paul, and will be the
first of the kind to be erected in the
United States.
In connection with the elevator a
'two-story -four mill will be erected and
also a power house. The elevator and
mill are to be operated entirely by
electricity, each to be fitted with the
latest electrical machinery and ap-
pliances.
Work is expected to commence as
soon as material can be assembled,
which will probably be about three
weeks.
When completed the enterprise will
call for an outlay approximating
100000.
That the directors and stockholders
of the elevator company should un-
hesitatingly decide to install such a
plant speaks we'll for the progressive
ness of that community, and is a de-
cided boost for the prospects of Kath-
ryn and that part of Barnes county.
