-OT OWNER MAKES KICK

If yor hav, relatives buried in the
Topeka cemetery and want their
graves kept up and adorned with
flowers and shrubs you must pay to
have the work done by the cemetery
association and under no conditions
will you be allowed to do the work
yourself.
This is the announcement made in
a notice sen. out by w. r. Carrie,
superintendent in which all lot own
ers are urged to take advantage CS
the new Fan for endowing the ceme-
terry lots for permanent special care.
TIE announcement says:
We have found it necessary to make
some changes in our rules. and adopt
some new ones, in order to improve.
the best possible shape.
We now have rule that mounds
will not be permitted on graves, or any
shrub. plant flower allowed, except
cut flowers. unless the lot or grave be
in for special care. This in order that
whatever attention We can give the lots
be done at a minimum cost
THE fact that lot owners or others
Interested therein desire. to care for
shrubs. etc, will not be permitted as
we have found it to be very imprac-
ticable.
please ask IS ;-out our plan Of
endowing lots for perpetual care
Lot Owner Makes Kick.
A copy of the above rules was sent
to the State Journal today by a lot
owner who also sent a communication
in which he denounces the rules of
the Cemetery association and asserts
that he will not abide by them.
The lot owner asserts that this is
a tyranny not even known in Russia,
and says: IT would like to see them
stop me from planting a flower on
my fathers grave or cutting the grass
ar- nd try TO ctio lr for
tending a grave and don't tend it for
shucks. A poor man can't afford to
pay for this nowadays when he can do
it on Sunday and evenings and can
do a much better job
Another circular sent out by Super
intendent W. r. Carrie asserts that
the permanent endowment fund al
ready runs into the thousands; that it
is satisfactory to a great many lot
owners and that within a few years
the association expects to have a fund
of $4,000 to provide perpetual care
of the lots.
mot only is this a business PROPOSE
ton" Carrie says, but it does away
with the trouble of arranging from
season to season for care, and any
possibility of oversight or neglect"
Are Lcvelling Mounds.
One lot owner asserted today that
without consulting owners the associa-
eioii has oil oduS iSNOicu a pal VI lhC
old cemetery, removing the mounds so
that the sod can be moved as an
ordinary park and that it is under
stood the plan of the association is to
do this with all lots that are not kept
ap by payment of permanent endow-
ment money
II consider it little short of black
mail" this lot owner said, eff they
really are doing this. They threaten
to modest the graves and to remove the
mounds if the association is not paid
for keeping them up and they make
it Impossible for individuals to avoid
the special endowment payments by
prohibiting them from looking after
their own LOTS

WOULD DISBAR MACY
Liberal Attorney Is Charged With
Drunkenness Before Court.

Accusations have been filed with
the Kansas supreme court upon which
an order is sought for the disbarment
of F. S. Macy, a lawyer at Liberal,
Seward county. Disbarment proceed
ings were lodged against Macy some
years ago, but he was permitted to
continue in the practice of law.
Under The new complaint as filed
with the court, Macy is charged with
drunkenness, as well as illegal and I'M
professional procedures in the hand
ling of cases before the courts of the
state. An investigation of the charges
will probably be made at an early date
under orders of the supreme court.

if these four states could afford to
ratify the surcharge it would follow
that Kansas would not be behind the
lines and be the stumbling block.
In this connection the accusation
was made by a number of the fire in

state insurance ADMINISTRATION in the
matter of disappearing the surcharge
was merely political move and was
made solely for the purpose of gain
ing votes.

BIC COAL BARGAIN
Purchasers Can Save by Buying
Supplies Early.
Storage Reductions on Colo
RADIO Goals Announced.

Topekans who want to be certain of
a supply of coal next winter and who
like to take advantage of bargains
when they are offered will be given
chance to do so by purchasing their
winters fuel supply from the Colo
RADIO market during the spring and
early summer An order, giving
Shawnee county purchasers chance
to take advantage of the storage rate
reductions was issued by c. H Dan
ner, local fuel administrator, this
morning. By buying certain grades of
Colorado coal during the month OF
April consumers can save as h1gh as
70 cents a ton and they can save on
every purchase made up until the flrst
| of August.
Not only are purchasers advised OF
| this opportunity to save on next win
| ters fuel supply. but they are urged
! to make purchases as soon as possible
to help keep the mines running at fun
capacity ali summer and insure the
prevention of congestion in storage
bins and on mine sidings. The order
| issued by Danner this afternoon Is as
| follows:
banners New Order.
Storage savings on Goals from Wal
| senburg. Canon City and all other dis
tricts except the Trinidad district, pre-
| pared sizes subject to summer reduc-
lions are as follows:
| During April, roc per ton.
| During May, soc per ton.
| During June, 35c per ton.
During July, / sc per ton.
| Coal from the Trinidad district,
prepared sizes, subject to summer re-
auctions as follows:
/ During April, 40c per ton.
| During May. 30c per ton.
| During June, zoe per ton.
| During July, 10c per ton
On August 1 the normal winter
price will prevail.
| 1t is desired that the consumers
thruout Kansas place orders with
their dealers at as early a date as pos
sible, so that the dealers may know
the requirements of storage coal that
| their customers will need. 1t. is alb
solutely necessary to keep all the
mines in operation during the entire
summer, to prevent a recurrence of a
| coal famine such as last winters. II
! the consumers will place their orders
at an early date with their dealers, the
dealers will be in a position to deliver
1 the coal on its arrival directly from
the cars to the customers bin. This
will be a large saving Of labor and
| waste of coal
Officials want to make a special
effort to get SO per cent of the nee
essary requirements of domestic trade
in Kansas in the consumers bins be-
fore September 1, 1913.
They feel that it is every ones pa.
triotic duty. wherever it is possible fol-
him to do so. to comply with this re-
quest and secure coal needed to relieve
the situation for the coming winter al
much as possible.

Lieut.. Bruno Roselli Addressed Nor
NAL Students

Lieut.. Roselli, of the Italian Army,
Normal school Monday morning, de-
livering most delightful message.
A quartette composed of Mrs. Simp-
son, Miss Agnes Benno, E. j. Isleif-
son and J. H. Cotton, rendered "Oh
Italia, Beloved, which was so pleas
ing to the Lieutenant that he extend
ed his hand to each singer, thanking
them personally for the musical treat
The Lieutenant stated that he had
many arrows for his bow and would
refrain from shooting any he had used
at the Grand the night before.
He said that America is soon to feel
the effects of the great war, just as
Italy and the other countries are feel
ing it, Instead of our casualty lists
being light as they have been, they
are likely to be as great as those OF
the other nations. Americans must
be prepared for insiduous German pro-
paganda to be started as soon as
these lists become large. German
agents will soon be among us to tell
US how terrible a thing this war is
and suggest that it ought to be stop
ped. American mothers should re-
ply that as dear as their sons are to
them, they'd gladly give them all in
order to defeat an enemy of Ger
mans stamp.
The Lieutenant said that the wom-
en- of America were wonderful spirit
ually in this war and this is going to
help nightly in winning. He said one
cannot tell how much they can help by
writing the right kind of letters to
the front. Men cannot fight well at
the front after they have received
heart rending letters from home. The
women of America must remain brave
and confident that their sons, sweet
hearts and husbands are going to win.
America has hardly felt the effects
of the war yet, he said. Cutting
down on sugar and substituting corn
meal for wheat flour is no sacrifice at
all to what the Italians have had to
make. Food has been very scarce
and often he has sat down to meal,
served in the finest kind of cut glass
dishes and china, ending with the fin
ger bowl service yet never has he
heard an Italian enter complaint be-
cause of inadequate food.

crops and threshing will start within
q short time. The yield is around 10
bushels per acre, the price at this
