Fifty-Suite Apartment Here, In
ter.Service Club Plan.
Occupants to Finance Project
and Own Own Homes.
BUILDING TO COST S4OO,OOO
Five Stories High, of Brick,
Steel and Concrete.
Several Options Held But Site
Not Selected.

Plans for building a fifty suite
apartment house in Topek were an
nounced today by R. E. Scamell, archi-
tect for the Inter-Service club.
The project is backed by the Inter
Service club and is the outcome OF an
idea to relieve housing conditions in
Topeka that club members have been
working on for some time. An en-
tirely new scheme is TO be used in
financing the proposition. Persons in
vesting will own their own apartment
essentially they will own their own
home.
1t will be necessary, tho, TO sell
some stock and to take subscriptions
for the erection of the five-siory
building that will cost approximately
100000, according 10 Scamell. The
entire plan of financing has not been
completed. W. R. Kirk and J l..
Hersh are in charge of working out
the details of financing the big project
Club Holds Options.
While it is announced that the club
holds options on several pieces of
property, they have not decided which
location they will eventually decide
upon. Scamell did not make public
the location OF the property loN HSiu
by the club.
Detailed plans of the apartment
| building have not been completed.
Essentially they are as published in
| The State Journal several days ago.
The structure will be of brick. steel
and concrete. 1t will be five stories
high, built in the shape. of the letter U.
| in all probability. Each floor will
have ten apartments. Apartments Will
range i'll size from those of three
rooms to larger suites of seven rooms
| The building will be entirely mod
ern. The best heating apparatus that
can be found Will be installed, ii was
declared.
| Equip 1t Electrically.
| The apartment will be equipped
electrically thruout. Vacuum cleaning
J machines will be used exclusively ir
keeping the structure clean. No build
| ing in Topeka will have better plumb
ing arrangement. The large NUMBER
of apartments will necessitate large
number of bath rooms and they Wi
be finished with the most modern ap'
plances in detail
The plan on which the Inter~Servict
club is building its hopes is based or
a similar proposition that was tried
out in Brooklyn. The structure IN
! Brooklyn, however. contained 4Ot
iapartmen;s 1t was felt that the fifty
I apartment structure was suItlciehl tt
attemp in Topeka. Thei rplan ol
| finance. it is hoped will avoid the diff
ficulties experienced by the severa
hotel projects in Topeka. Scamel
points out.
Build 1t Within Year.
Operations cannot be commenced
until they are on a better financia
basis. Scamell said. however. that the
Inter Service club expects to erect the
i building in Topeka within one yea.
| Scamen believes that the PROPOSE
! tion ca n be financed in Topeka. He
based his belief on the subscriptions
/ that have been received from youne
| Topeka business men. He says none
! of the older and more prominent
ca pitalists of the city have been ap-
preached on the proposition.

ventions are composed of candidates nominated in the August primary election for congressional and state offices and by delegates elected from the holdover senatorial districts. Nominees for judicial and school of fees are not elegible to participate in the convention proceedings as these offices are nonpartisan.
 In the event that candidate for a congressional or state office receives the nomination of more than one party, the primary law provides that he shall attend the convention only as member of the party of which he is a registered voter. Thus, a Demo- crat winning his own party nomina- tion and nomination on the Re publican ticket would have a voice and vote only in the Democratic con- vention.
 The party conventions usually con- clude their business without delay. The primary law requires that the platforms shall be made public not later than 6 o'clock in the afternoon of the day following the convention.

really at the bottom of most OF the

If only the partisan adventurers
were involved, their game could be
watched with mere amusement. But
1t is serious matter when they drag
in the honor and majesty Of the navy

which lately have been said in Wash

PEANUT.FED MEAT

We suppose the Federal Trade Com
mission knows what it is talking about
when it sets forth that the excess of
oil in the meat of peanut-fed hogs as
compared with the meat of corn-fed
hogs justifes lower price for the for
mer. Agents of the commission have
hade an extensive and probably
thorough investigation, and their re-
port is based in facts which there is
no reason to believe any prejudice has
clouded. .,... 49,
But let not anything that the Fed
eral Trade Commission may report or
may say cause an interested
public to lose sight of the fact that the
meat of the peanut-fed hog, when pro-
pcrly cured, is in a class alone. with
all the other classes trailing far be-
hind.
The best hams in the world are the
country hams Of Southwest Georgia.
The hogs they come from are peanut
fattened and the meat is peanut fla
vored. They have a quality and flavor
all their own-the one distinctive and
the other incompatible. They iare
not more widely known and apprecia-
ted because limited supply has linn
tied the circle of consumers to for
tunate few, but they are sure to grow
in favor as they become better known.
