worthy candidate is proceeding this
year with better promise than usually
is the case. 1t remembers when the

candidate on similar grounds, and
elected a democrat who proved worthy
of the confidence Of the voters, as 1t
believes Mr.. Meredith will prove

Here comes Jim Doty. democratic

the announcement that he's Metho-

ness If they took the Adams car pro-
vded they paid the damages. Prob
ably Adams thought il was somebody's
business when the store was deprived
Of the use OF the delivery car for
several days or a week or two. But
aside from that we once visited Ana
mosa, and the prison there. and we
found a number OF chaps there who
thought at wasn't anybody's business
when they took something that didn't
belong to them, If they didn't get
caught. There is now a young fellow
from Logan there who thought II
wasn't anybody's business when he
took a team that he found tied to the
rack here in town and drove around
most Of the night. He found out when
the officers got hold Of him that it was
asomebody's business" Interfering

is always somebody's sbusiness, and
if carried too far the result Is fire.

EXPENSES of the fair cannot be graspeo
out of the air. They must be maze
ont of the fair unless public FUNDS
Drovide for all of them. This is not
the case now. Such financial AID as
is given the Topeka fair by the state
of Kansas and Shawnee county can be
aDDlied only to the payment of the
fair premiums. and these do not in
clude the purses for the horse-raclng
or the prizes for the horse SHOWS.
There are many other overhead falr
charges. too. And horse-racing ana
horse shows are not really parts OF an
agricultural exposition. They are add
ed features, amusements, and 1t IS
often the case that they do not appeal
TO many of the people who attend
fairs for the entertainment the pleas
a. that
they may obtain from the agricultural
exhibits of all classes, and countless
other exhibits of a kindred nature
So it is no more than right that those
of the fair crowds who enjoy horse
racing and horse shows should pay
something for the privilege of viewing
them from the grandstand and all
other points from which they may be
adyantageously seen. This, too, has
been the rule and still is with the pay
as-vou-enter-at-the -main-gate fairs of
state proportions. They make extra
charges for the grandstand and bleach
ers and other commanding positions
for observing the horse races and
other amusement features that may be
provided by the fair Arrangements.
So a free fair is no different from
the old-fashioned sort of fair in
this respect, and cannot be. if it is to
have a chance to keep its financial
head above the waters of deficits
that would eventually kill it. The
Topeka free fair must not die, so it
is up to all its friends to patronize
its big amusement features generous
" and ungrudgingly.

CHINA LENDS A HAND.

According to a recent report made
by A. E. Carleton, the United States
vice consul at Hongkong, a general
commission house at that place has
conceived the idea of placing OIL the
foreign markets a cheap bag made of
mating, at a cost of about II cent
gold per bag, which, of course, is the
same as a half-cent in American mon
ey, or two bags for a cent, as the
money of the United States these days
is the standard money for the world
as far as values go.
This bag could be used for the
wrapping and the handling by the
consumers for all the commodities
usually handled by grocery stores and
meat markets. and even for fish, fresh,
salt or otherwise.

To keep your memory green.
Some play you as if you were mad,
Some you were sane aver;
Some think 0phelia used you bad,
And some that you Snubbed her.
In school, in club, in vaudeville,
In movies or legit,

Those Old DAYS.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Those Old Days
How much of our mental visualize
ton comes from early associations
I was reading the other day a story
which spoke of a woodpile in a cellar
All at once 1 became conscious that
in my mental eye 1 was seeing the
woodpile in which we children used to
play. 1t wasn't in our cellar because
we had no woodpile, there being no
open fireplace in the house to require
one. I write it with grief. 1t is the
one big lack in my memories Our
house was built in that unfortunate,
after the Civil War period, whose
architects, some one has said, must
have left their brains instead of their
bodies upon the battlefields. 1t had
marble mantels with registers in the
center instead of fireplaces. Loving
fireplaces as I do with what amounts
almost to a passion, it is sad to me
to have only registers and lair tights
to remember. I would rather deny
any luxury to children of my own than
a fireplace.
However, to return to the woodpile
The woodpile see is the one which
appeared every year in q neighbour
yard and about which we children
used to play. To conform to the story
transplant it in my mind to a corner
of our old cellar, where, to be sure.
it seems rather i'll at ease. The point
is this, 1 have had woodpfles of nv
own since, but when called upon to
picture one. my mind does not in
stinctively picture these, it goes back
to those powerful associations of the
early days.
Again when 1 read Hide His Light
Under a BusheP' in the Scripture, 1
always see an old bushe1 basket that
used to hang from a cellar rafter. 1t
had a handle in the middle and the
cover was divided into two flaps. 1
always vision a candle inside it and
am obsessed by an uneasy sense that
it may be burning the cover.
Again, Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego are always uncomforta bly
crowded into the small, old-fashioned
furnace which used to occupy the
center of that cellar.
In a way. I suppose those last two
are unfair examples. since they are
conceptions that 1 formed long ago
and still hold.
Nevertheless, / think it is true of
new Installation, too, that We oftenest
go back to the old days for our mental
pictures.

self some day and see--(Copyright by
