A Topeka man in an official job has
story to tell on the high cost of
water. At one of the rural hotels that
he visited on one of his frequent trips
over the state in the interests of law
enforcement, he succeeded in finding
a room that had a bath. After estab-
| fishing himself in this gem of a room,
| he undertook to prepare for a plunge,
All was satisfactory except that he
could not find the stopper plug for
the bath tub. He searched diligently
and then dressed and descended to the
! hotel desk to demand of his frugal,
German proprietor where the plug was
| to be found The landlord opened a
drawer to his desk and handed out the
missing equipment to his guests bath
tub.
May I ask why that plug is kept
down here instead of where it be-
longs?" inquired the Toueka man.
Il lock on it up; otherwise it ees too
much used by some who want de bath
when dey do not need him"
