Writina on . Moving Train.

Writing legibly on a fast moving train is difficult to a person unaccus toned to do 1t. The railroad conductor knows the trick of 1t and manages to get along quite satisfactorily. He pre- fers to write in q standing position and holds his right elbow firmly against bis side. The reason for this is that in q sitting posture there is too much lat eral movement in the trunk of the body. while in a standing position this Is more easily controlled.
 When the arm swings freely. as in ordinary writing. several joints of the body are affected in the process. each of which is capable of its own motion Holding the elbow against ones ribs breaks those motion tendencies. ex- cept that of the wrist, which movement is necessary in writing. and thus the pencil or pen is more easily controlled.

motors and bank boosters before the
state charter board. More than fifty
men interested in charters and selling
permits from the blue sky department

fices of ]. T. Botkin, secretary of

proved was that of the Great Plains
Petroleum company of Wichita, five
million dollar concern which plans to
place a million dollars worth of stock
on the market in this state. The new
refining company controls large out
put and extensive lease rights.
Many of the companies seeking ap-
prevail today are oil concerns. The
majority of these companies are in the
southern Kansas field. Several pro-
posed banks brought their troubles to
Topeka for today's session. Work be-
fore the state board may not be clean
ed up until late today or sometime

were announced for today by c. H
Banner, chairman of the Shawnee
county fuel administration committee.
banners new order directs several re-

ministration reserves the right to
make changes without formal hear
ings and at such time as conditions
are held to justify. Where purchasers
provide for their own deliveries,
gross margin of $3.50 a ton will be
permitted on all classes of coal.
Where the retailer makes delivery,
the margin will be held to 50 a ton,
except on anthracite and semi-an-
thracite, where the margin is listed
at $3.50.
Under the Danner order Arkansas
anthracite is reduced from $14 to
1924. Arkansas Bernice is increased
from $13.25 to $13.49. Arkansas semi
anthracite is reduced from 1925 to
1923. Oklahoma semi-anthracite is
reduced from $1O.15 to $1O.13. South
ern Kansas is reduced from 81 to Sc. 81
and 1857. Southern Kansas nut is
reduced from $3.50 to S6.49, and in
some instances to 1854. Usage and
Burlingame coal is increased under
the order from 81 to $7.49.

Walnut, Kan. Dec. 5.-The high

country began offering pro-
visions and other kinds of help. AS a
result. the school prepared a supper
with opossum as the chief meat.
The weather was stormy, but in
spite OF that the tables We're crowded
all the evening and many could not be
served. over 500 was raised for the
fund and will be set to the Y. NJ. c..
Al. and knights of Columbus. The
school has pledged $3.50, the remain
der of which will be secured by per-
sonal subscriptions and class enter
tainments.
