Check From Soldier in the Field
Reaches a Topeka Firm.

The Santa Fe Watch company to-
day received a check from a trooper
now doing duty in Mexico which ST.
lently told of the many troubles, in a
financial way, which one must go
through with if he happens to be
working for Uncle Sam in Mexico.
The check was drawn on the City
National Bank of FL Paso and to it
was attached yellow slip headed, ~.
S. Army filed message and under
this heading was the various means
of communications under which the
message might have been delivered.
Buzzer, phone, telegraph, radio, Ian
tern, hello, flag. cyclist, foot messen-
ger, and mounted messenger were the
various assortments under which one
might get the check through but I'M
derneath "cyclist" a black line was
drawn, signifying that it was by this
route the check and message came
In the body of the message accom-
panying the check was this notation:
Impossible to get money orders
which shows that Uncle Sam has not
as yet extended this branch of his SER
vice to the boys in the field.

information the Watch company

date school boards in all counties in

the coming school year. 1t is the hope
of the state department of public in

PLAN OF THE FIRST FLOOR

The accompanying view shows the
floor plan of the proposed new Audi
forum for Topeka. A part of the
building indicates the S0-foot extern
sion, which will be made by the pur-
chase of additional ground on the east
side. Practically all of the old
building will be torn down and every
thing inside the new Auditorium will
be of reinforced concrete and steel
construction. The north, south and
west walls, which will be used only
to support the roof of the new Audi
torium, will be raised five feet and the
ground floor lowered to a level with
the street, thus making room for a

The first floor will rest upon the
ground. Rolling partitions will be at

can be lowered when desired, thus
making it possible for three or more
conventions to use the building stimuli
taneously. The pipe organ. instead of
Jutting out on the stage, will be moved
back between the walls on the east
side. New seats will be placed on the
main floor and the old ones will go to
the gallery and balcony.
AT the left of the above view, at the
bottom, is shown the basement and
practically all that part of the new
9O-foot extension on the east, ground
for which will be purchased at a cost
of $4,000. The basement will be I'M

The new Auditorium will cost $685.

east side $4,000, making s77,500. A
new city Jail, to cost $22, 500, is also
to be erected, making a total expendi-
ture for the new auditorium and city
jail of 100000. Money for this pur-
pose is to be raised by the issuance of
100000 worth of city bonds, to run 80
years, at II per cent interest or less.
A tax of one cent on the hundred dol
lars of assessed property, or 10 cents
on the thousand, will pay the interest

the bonds be voted. Petitions for an
election on the proposition have been
circulated and over 5000 signatures

THE ORPET BOY.-In parks and
bouIevards statues of so-caIed he
roes and great men have been placed.
The theory is that the oftener we
are reminded of the worlds great
noble strugglers the better our own
lives will be. Lncoln's big bronze
figure in Lincoln park, looked at by
thousands daily, is supposed to be
somewhat inspirational of the Lin
coin life. Does the principle of sug-
gestiOn herein involved work the
other way too? By running pictures
of the cringing, faltering Orpet boy
from day to day, and by printing
every word, syllable and whisper that
comes from the Orpet boy, are the
newspapers helping produce more
lives patterned after the Orpet boy?
Is this, too, preparedness?
Germany now has iron money in
circulation.

A JOB FOR T. R.-There's more,
than one way to skin the Mexican
cat. Some seem to think the best
way is to make Roosevelt a major
general and lead an army of invasion
into Mexico. But that would mean
fighting, blOOdshed and wholesale
murder of both American and Mexi-
can soldiers. We might save blood
shed by going about it in another
way. Let Teddy join the Mexican
army, arouse it's members to a high
pitch of patriotic enthusiasm, be-
come commander-in-chief, teach the
Mex to sing Onward Christian Sol
diers," and then march the whole
blamed army up to the border and
surrender to Gen. Funston.
This seems to be a practical and
bloodless way out of the mess, for
T. R. has had experience at that sort
of thing. It's exactly what he did
to the Progressive army. When the
real Progressives got organized and
under way, and were sweeping the
country from the Pacific coast east,
Teddy joined 'em, sang with 'em and
became their leader-and then led
them up to the Old Guard and sur
rendered the whole daTned bunch.
If he's smart enough to do that
with 100000 insurging Americans,
T. R. certainly ought to be able to
put the same thing over on the Mex
leans. And just think how easily we
could conquer the world without
bloodshed if we worked the Teddy

gag in each country that felt like
fighting US.
And there's fame and glory in it
for Teddy. He might send his name
roaring down the corridors of the in
ternatiOnal hall of fame as the Great
Universal Betrayer.
