GOT MARX TWAIN STIRRED UP
Humorist, Tired of Listening to Series
of Remarkable Stories, Rose to
the Occasion.

A naval officer said at a banquet
in New York
"Some of the war stories that hear
remind me of Mark Twain. Mark, you
know, once sat in the smoking room
of a steamer and listened for an hour
or two to some remarkable lies. Then
he drawled:
Boys, these feats of yours that
you've been telling about recall an adj
venture of my own in Hannibal. There
was fire in Hannibal one night, and
old man Hankinson got caught In the
fourth story of the burning house. 1t
looked as if he was a goner. None
of the ladders was long enough to
reach him. The crowd stared at one
another with awed eyes. Nobody could
think of anything to do. Then all of
a sudden, boys, an idea occurred to
me. "Fetch me rope! !" yelled. Some.
body fetched rope, and with great
presence of mind flung the end of 1t
up to the old man. "Tie her round
your waist!" | yelled. Old man Han
kinson did so and l pulled him
down."

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy Of
Horticultural Pest.

The japanese beetle-is going to have
its old enemies on its trail in this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean They will
then be established in the sections of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained foothold, and they are ex-
pected TO aid greatly in the control of
the pest.
The agent employed In Japan is
familiar with Japanese conditions and
Is q specialist in this kind of work. 1t
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known of
the parasites of the Japanese beetle
great deal is still TO be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon it. The beetle reached this
country with importations of green
house plants. and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo
lestations by natural enemies.

Real Estate
Activities In
Capital City

From the standpoint of large bust
ness firms short time leases are very
impractical, in the opinion of a local
real estate dealer. All progressive
business houses are looking for per-
manent locations where they can con-
tinue operations for years to come.
Except in emergencies, he points
out, short time leases are very inn
practical. Looking far into the fu-
ture, plans are made to take care of
the expected growth and development.
In the larger cities of the United
States the big business interests are
convinced that they should either own
their own locations and buildings or
lease large space for long terms.
Eastern manufacturing concerns are
buying their own warehouses to a
much larger extent than they have
ever done in the past.
More sales have been consummated
in the last ten days by Topeka real es-
late men than in the last three
months, according to Robert B. Kane,

to go much over $4,000 in investments
on homes.
Buyers are beginning to indicate a
tendency to argue about prices, Kane
points out. For almost a year the
most outstanding feature of real estate
transactions was the willingness of the
buyer to pay the price asked without
trying to beat it down. Market con-
ditions in all lines of business have
evinced a tendency on the part of the
buying public TO hesitate in an effort
to find lower price before paying the
figure asked. This is Just beginning
to be felt in the real estate market.
There his been no local fluetuation in
real estate values in Topeka. Kane
says. He is of the opinion that the
present values will continue.
There is a keen demand for rental
property, he says. At present there is
little in Topeka that, can be found to
rent at any price Kane had nothing
listed today for rent.
Kane is an incessant booster of the
adoption of some sort of a housing
plan in Topeka. For Twelve months
there have been recurrent spasns OF
interest displayed in some housing
plan. Nothing definite has developed,
however.

There has been large number or IN
qufries for property this week, Hersh
saws. but most Of the requests come
from persons with only few hundred
dollars and they are asking for terms.
There is little of this sort of property
on the market.
Buyers purchasing now, Hersh says,
should realize a small but steady in
crease in whatever property they
obtain now.
Practically no new building is be-
ing done except by the Shawnee In
