Bert Lempenau, Clyde Cowgirl and

for this office, which is generally
sought by young attorneys as a step

he wants the Job because the $3.50 a

but his creed. We withhold the name but
gladly publish the creed:

There is Christianity. patriotism and
good citizenship in every word OF that
creed. 1t is a political platform in itself.

Again State Journal want ads bring
results The above classified ad in
The State Journal recently brought no
satisfactory results to the persons
seeking home but it brought very
busy afternoon and evening to the To-
peka family whose phone number was
given.
Shortly after the paper was off the
press Saturday afternoon. the tele-
phone rang at the Topeka home and a
woman'S voice came over the wire
sweetly inquiring about the house for
rent and saying she saw the ad in the
paper. This was news to the Topeka
woman and she informed the inquirer
that she knew of no house for rent
and the wrong number must have
been given.
The phone rang again. There it
was once more. Some one asking
about a house for rent. When the
home edition had been off the press
but thirty minutes the Topeka woman
could have rented her house, il she
had had one to rent, six times When
the paper was but an hour old and in
the hands of a few thousand Topekans
she could have rented part of her own
home to seven different families. To-
pekans had fairly wept on her shout
der they were so frantically eager to
find a place to abide in.
Telephone callers have no inkling
that one is taking a bath The To-
tub five times. The flor became so
moist after several trips from the tub
to the phone that the woman began
70 use the mop. Rivulets Of bath wa
ter strayed- all over the bathroom
floor, the kitchen linoleum and flowed
ing room rug and underneath the
phone.
They called from pay stations and
they called from everywhere One
woman called from the Santa Fe de-
pot. She had come to town to live and
began before she left the station hunt
ing a house. One man even hurried
his conversation with the Topeka
woman that he might go right down
and sprint round the state house
square until he had located the house
They told their tales of grief in regard
to moving and all the why's and the
wherefores.
The Topeka woman suddenly de-
cided on course of action. She
called and pleaded with the officials
at the phone office to cut off her
phone service for few hours. which
they promised to do. Now she thought,
Il guess I'll take time during the hull
to read that ad, where's the paper ?"
The phone rang.
Hello" said a voice. as this the
party who has a house to rent. I sure
had a time getting you. Supervisor
asked me before she rang il it was
about a house for rent and I said, no.
But I fibbed, I do want a house and
want it bad I do hope it isn't gone
yet l.
Gasping for breath the Topeka
woman reached Imply for the chair at
the phone and YEARLY began the IA
miliar sentence. NO. we have no
house for rent"

peal to The State Journal to call the
attention of the Topeka bachelors to
the matrimonial state of affairs in
their country.
The appeal is contained in a letter
received from ]. StahI of Duisburg,
Germany. 1t calls attention to the fact
that the high cost of living has just
about put Mr.. Daniel Cupid out of
business and that while the Teutonic
ladies do not say SO in so many words,
they seem of the opinion that Topeka
bachelors are all wealthy. They do
not say whether or not they expect to
come to America or have their pros
pective husbands go to Germany with
their wealth; that is left for some ad-
venturous Topekan to discover
Here is the appeal:
ION account of the unhappy war in
which more than 100000 young Germans
lost their lives, a still greater number of
young German ladies are deprived of the
opportunity to find a husband This ca
lamity. If dare call it such, is increased
by the fact that. owing to the extraor-
binary DEAFNESS Of household furniture
and the scarcity of apartments the matri-
mony has become a luxury and a privilege
of the rich in the country.
In their distress our young ladies look
over to America in the hope of finding
there the conjugal happiness, for which
reason they appeal to all American bache-
lors who cannot find a match over there
and who are DESTROYS to contract matri-
mony with well bred young German
lady, to approach them on this behalf.
The linguistic difficulties should be no
obstacle, as our ladies' are mostly acquaint-
ed with the English language.
