A REAL PLAYHOUSE
CornstplIs Used in Construction of
Home OF Romance and Adven-
turc at End of Quincy Street.

Down near the lower end of Ouincv
street, there is a front yard which is
decorated with a real old fashioned
plahouse, contrasting rather oddly
with the industrial nature of the sur-
round1ngs The house itself is not an
appealing structure, nor is the Ioca-
ton one which would be chosen bv the
average homeseeker. But childhood's
knack OF Imagery takes small stock of
the realities, be they never so suualid
The playhouse is constructed of
cornstalks, put together in the fashion
OF the Indian wil;iup of the plains. and
only the youngsters who have made
their headquarters there know how
many dramas or aboriginal life h. !,
many fierce raids. how many scalp
tnEs and medicine dances have been
held there.
From half block away it looks as
II some one had piled feed for the
tamiiy COW in the front yard, and had
forgotten to take it away on a LITTLE
closer inspection some plan to its ar
ranSement is visible, and it takes the
form of shock of fodder, put up bv
the Ver.est amateur of farmers.
But at close range, and thru the ewes
OF the youngsters who play there, the
hodge -podge heap of forage looking
so out OF place to grown-ups in the
scrubby ncighborhood is the home of
romance and adventure.

EIASHDUDh GRADS RETURN
Many Former Students Are Here To-
day for c. of f. Game.


Among the old Washburn grads re-
turning to their Alma Mater today for
the Homecoming game with the Col
lege of Emporia are two men who did
big things for washburn athletics in
the old days.
Bonnie owen, the famous one armed
coach of Oklahoma university, is here
to see the old players whom he
coached in 1900, when he was -direc-
tor of athletics at Washburn college.
The 1900 Washburn team was the
greatest eleven ever turned out by the
Ichabod school They defeated Kan
sas twice, Haskell Indians once, Kan
sas City Medics once and after they
won two more games in a row the atil-
letic authorities at Nebraska univer-
sity cancelled their game.
All of these old timers who played
on the 1900 team are congregatfng in
DR.. Jim Stewarts office in the Mills
building. They are fighting over the
old battles and wondering about the
chances for a Blue victory this after
noon over Emporia.
Myron White, who played with
Washburn from 1896 to 1900. came
all the way from Muskogee, Okla. to
be on hand for the big reunion. This
little fellow tips the scales at 234 and
is six feet three inches tall. He is
practicing law in Oklahoma now but
the chance to see his old team in ac-
ton persuaded him to return to To-
paka

She VISITS MAYOR
Miss Gaston's Fight Against Cigarcts Is
Educational, He Says.

"I believe Miss Gaston's fight
against cigarets has value in that
it is educational" Mayor Corwine said
today. Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, leader
of crusade against cigarets, and 9TH
erwise noted because of her narrow
escape from being a candidate for
president of the United States, called
upon Mayor Corwine Friday after
noon.
THE war did much to increase toll
erance Of the cigaret habit" Mayor
Corwine said. "and / believe that Miss
Caston's work will help to get US back
to our pre-war opposition to the
habit"
The city commissioners said today
that Miss CASTOR had notified them of
intended visits to them to enlist them
in behalf of the crusade. The out
come of her visits is doubtful, for the
commissioners, unlike the may6r. are
addicted more or less to the habit be-
ing fought by Miss CASTOR She also
expects to appear before the city COM
mission on Tuesday morning.
81 don't believe cigarets can be
bought many places on the avenue" a
drug store clerk said. illustrating the
effect of the Castor descent upon To-
peka.
1t is the intention Of Miss CASTOR
to organize an Anti-Cigaret league at
the First Methodist church Sunday

Almena, Kan, Nov. 13.-Almena
wasn't surprised when Elmer Heiser-
man was arrested in connection with
the attempt to kill the rest of the
Heiserman family.
For this little Kansas town knew
Elmer as ''Toughy'-the black sheep
of the well-to-do Eeiserman family.
'"Toughy' whom Carl Johnson
claims offered him 5000 to exterminate
the Beiserman family, SO he could in
herit the property, has been in trouble
before. He runs with a corner drug
store crowd that has made much work
for Sheriff Goudy in minor disturb
ances. This accounts for lack of sur
prise at "Toughys'' arrest
Almena Is Surprised.
But Almena is surprised at release
of "Toughy' on $1,000 bond furnished
by his father. Already a petition has
been circulated for signatures asking
that Elmer's bond, be increased to $5.-
coo for the good of the community.
Meanwhile, citizens are trying to ar
range Johnson's release on $1,000
bond.

MUST HIKE PHONE RATES
Kansas Independent Telephone Men
Want to Give Better Service.

Kansas independent Telephone Men
Want to Give Better Service.
'"The people think that all the owner
or manager of a telephone company
has to do, is to sit in his office and
! take the money. Publicity on the
workings of the independent telephone
system, letting the public into the in
side, is one of the things which the
| Telephone owners must have If they
are going to break down the suspicion
which exists between them and the
public they are serving said L. NJ.
Kraege, secretary of the Kansas indie
pendent Telephone association, in dis
cussing the district meeting of the as
sociation which was held at the Cham
ber of Commerce Friday. Publicity
was ore of the things discussed at the
meeting.
The desire to give better service to
the public was unanimous among the
Telephone men present, said Mr;
Kraege. This can be accomplished
thru the paying of better wages 10
more capable exchange operators, bet
ter switchboard equipment, and more
general efficiency.
To this end the rates of many of
the companies must be raised. Il
know of companies in this state which
are opera ting on the rates which were
granted to them twenty years ago,
said Mr.. Kraege. They are not keep
| ing even, but are living on their
plants. Some of these days they Will
wake up and find they have no plants. =
The association is urging those of
| its members who are really in need OF
| increased rates and who are justified
| by the class and cost of the service
rendered, to apply for the increases
rather than to go ahead and ruin their
| plants or continue to render a poorer
class of service than the public is real
| ly willing to pay for
In order to add force to their appli-
cations for increases, or anything else
for which they may ask, the Kansas
court of Industrial relations. the mem
bers of the association are being urged
to adopt the system of cost accountins g
which has been endorsed by the court.
for the use of all telephone cou,ranies.
Uniformity and accuracy in present
ing facts about their b,fsiners rrav be
attained thru the use of this system.
Mr.. Kraege believes
