KEEP THE cANARIEs SINGING

Down in the Allegheny coal mines
they keep canary birds. AS long as
the birds sing and live, the air in the
mines is good If the birds quit sing
ing something is wrong. IF the bird
dies, the miners know the air is bad
and they must either purify it or
get out to save their own lives.
Our lyceum course is canary bird
in the community coal mine. Our
churches and schools are canary
birds. When any of them get sick,
and die, something is wrong in our
community atmosphere. We must
purify it or suffer.
That is why we are asking you to
buy an Alkahest Lyceum Course sea-
son ticket. Help keep the air right
here and the canary birds singing.
And besides, you are getting great
events that will amply repay you!

OLD ELECTRIC PLANT
IN OPERATION AGAIN

Last night, about 8 o'clock, the oil
engine at the electric plant had to
stop and the city was for a few min
utes 3n darkness. Superintendent
Caldwell had steam up in the old
plant, however, and it soon picked up
the load and is carrying it now.
The trouble at the new plant was
caused by the fuel. The Standard Oil
Company has just supplied the plant
with tank car of oil, and the oil is
of too low grade to burn in the en-
gine, being too thick to pass thru the
smaller valves.
Superintendent Caldwell worked all
night trying to get the machinery
back in operation. He has decided that
the oil must be thinned with kero-
sene, or replaced, pending which he is
using the old plant. This, however,
is short of wood.
We have been Dragging all along
that our plant helped the country
people by buying fuel from them, but
they have about ceased to haul it to
town, and the city has to send its own
iiiOA anu ISc1AAS UuI ia IAlC COuik1
for it.
It's the Stars opinion that it would
pay the city for the council to loosen
up a little onrthis light and water
proposition.
The superintendent has not enough
men to help him finish the work or
the plant, and the reason why is the
city won't pay the wages demanded
Skilled men are not coming here wher
they can obtain larger wages else
where. The present superintendent

care and interest as tho it was hi.
own, could easily obtain more money
by going to some other city.
The light and water COMMITTEES
should send man out in the countr,
to engage wood weeks ahead. Tn.
wood is there, but it is necessary II
go after it.
The troubles of the city have beer
immensely added to by the Southern
Express Company. When the big
new steam engine broke down a few
weeks ago. the broken part, piston
rod and attachments, weighing sew
eral hundred pounds. was expresses
to the company making the engine

Newton Newkirk Will Devote More
Time to Features.

Boston, Mass, March 10.-NeWton
Newkirk, who for the last 16 years
has been the Boston Posts All Sorts
funny man" and the Sunday Post s
''Bingyille BugIe' editor, has rendered
his resignation as editor of the Ma
tional Sportsman, a Boston magazine
devoted to fishing and hunting for
which Mr.. Newkirk has written for
the past IL years
During that period Mr.. Newkirk has
furnished the National Sportsman
each month a humorous story of either
hunting or fishing, both of which are
Nevis favorite recreations, and
these stories he has illustrated with
his own words, ARE so punk that
they're really not more than half bad
Mr. Newkirk was the first writer to
foresee and demonstrate that there
was a field for humorous out-of-door
stories once each month. He says: 1
have never seen or heard funnier
things than when I have been in camp
among men who fish and hunt. They
are just boys on a lark, full of fun
and mischief and up to all sorts of
pranks. And what is funnier to the
seasoned sportsman than the green
horn who is on his first hunting or
fishing trip"
The popularity of Mr.. Newkirk' 5
stories in the National Sportsman has
proven his theory that such a demand
existed and the thousands of readers
of that popular magazine will miss
his contributions.
Newt states he will continue to
write and illustrate humorous stories
of camp life for the outdoor maya
zines

AND "SPOT" is BACK!
Colonel Hughes Dog Couldn't Be
Lost by Dover Farmer.

Col. J. w. F. Hughes was the first
dog owner in Topeka to pay his dog
tax. The colonel is the owner of
small fox terrier, for which he has
more affection than he has for his
COW. To the custom of the old days
when Potwin was a separate city and
every householder had his own milk
producer, the colonel has maintained
stout adherence.
The colonel explains his love for his
pet as follows: During the last cold
spell an overruling majority in my
house agreed to give Spot away. A
Dover farmer was the recipient of the
gift and in a covered wagon the dog
was carried back to Dover that even
ing. The next morning as ! went out
to milk the COW and look after the
Ford, there was Spot, shivering but
joyful, waiting for me. AS no human
friend would he have found his way
home thru an unknown territory, and
had come II miles with the mercury
II below. We have given Spot deed
and title to our home"
