one eye open. Thank goodness, the
high type of real estate man is happy
to be linked up with an organization
which holds out before him continu-
ously the highest Standards of busi-
ness ethics which he must follow,
and which he must necessarily do to
maintain the distinction given him
when he is authorized to use the word
"Realtor'' in connection with his name
and>Busin ess.
It is gratifying to know that when
ever a piece of property is listed by
one Z who designates himself as a
Realtor, that the property so described
will come up to the expectations of the
prospective buyer.
Eighteen Room House Rents for S155.
During the week, according to ]. L.
Hersh, assistant secretary of the Cap
itol Building & Loan association a
i, property valued at $4,000, having
eighteen rooms rented for $155. The
taxes. on this building are. approx
mateiy 5000 per year, Hersh says. Be
ing a brick b1ilding there are but few
improvements, in fact there will be
less than 500 improvements for the
year. The total rent is 81, $50 for, the
year Ten per cent on the investment
would be $1,000 with $500 for taxes
and repairs and allowing another 5000
for depreciation. Leaving the owner
a net profit over and above 10 per
cent of $3.50.
Hersh says further:
/"These rents are not exorbitant yet
at first sight, you would think so. This
property is close in and is housing six
families. If Topeka had more apart
ment houses, duplexes, ETC.. the hous-
ing situation would be settled at the
present time. The public is not at
the present time wishing to buy, but
the majority of the prospective Gus
toners are forced to buy in order to
set something to live in. The new
man who has come in to Topeka to
establish a home does not wish to buy
Immediately upon arriving here, but
would rather rent for a year until he
has time to look up his location. Fur
thermore, if he is locating here with a
rev business house or with an estab-
lished business house. there Is more
or less uncertainty as to his perma-
nency. This also stands in the way OF
his buying.
Rents will be high in Topeka until
the rental situation is taken care of
The prospective renter is willing &c
pay a good rent and will pay an ex-
ceptionally good rent rather than be
compelled to buy.
Getting an exact instance of one
resident of Topeka. He stated:

to buy a home, but this money in in
vested in such way that it Is bring
ing me a larger income than what my
rent is now costing me. I would there
fore be foolish to draw on my invest
ment to buy a home when 1 can at
ford TO rent and continue my invest
ment.' Topeka is different than some
other cities for the fact that for the
last ten years or more purchasers OF
property have been able to buy homes
with a payment of from $4,000 te
$4,000 down and the balance or
monthly payments of little more thar
what their rent would be- Thus To

Home Builders Financing.
keen, analytical interest Is being
displayed among Topeka citizens, in
the proposition of the Home Builders
Finance company of Kansas City. Mo-,
to assist Topeka in building lot of
homes here.
The company agrees to capitalize
building operations in Topeka ON the
basis of contributing a dollar for
every dollar raised in Topeka by the
sale of stock. The company has
agreed that the Chamber of Com
merce may put out teams to raise
money by selling stock and retain the
selling commission of 1 5 per cent The
company will supervise the building
operations, will loan money to build
ers and contractors, and open offices
in Topeka to oversee the work. They
will loan so per cent of the money ne
cessary for building.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce Friday after
noon 1t was decided. before taking
final action on the proposition, to ap-
point a committee composed Of MEM
bers of the chamber. and Topeka real
estate and building and loan men
The unqualified support of the cham
Der will probably be dependent on the
favorable report of this committee.
In order to promote the largest pos
sible building operations. the financing
committee proposes that local or non
resident contractors assume the big
gest end of the work. Contractors will
be loaned money with which to con-
struct dwellings but will be expected
to have contaminated the sale of the
building within six months. Penalty
amounting to five per cent will be
exacted for failure to. comply with this
regulation. Individual builders may
also borrow money from the company.

You and Your Teeth
 An Educational Series By H. C. WEIDLICH
Number Nine.

You would not permit an injury to occur to your hand, foot, arm or leg without giving immediate care and attention to same in order to restore the usefulness of the injured member as soon as possible. Then why do so many people in spite of continuous warning the part of physicians, dentists and scientists fail to maintain tooth health and thereby imperil the general health to a degree that often results in decidedly serious conse- quences? The safe and sane way is to keep your teeth in perfect condi- ton and to maintain mouth cleanli- ness. You cannot well inspect your own mouth but you can at any time come to our offices and have same examined free of charge. We are all ways glad to render this service to anyone. and if no work is needed we'll frankly tell you so. On the other hand if any corrective treat ment is required you will find our charges fair and reasonable and our work the best. During the year we have practiced dentistry. We have aimed to keep abreast of the profes- sion and have been the first to adopt and give to our patients the benefit of all new discoveries of proven mer- it. We can execute all work with but slight physical discomfort to the patient and the courteous and con siderate treatment accorded everyone in addition to superior workmanship have been important and controlling factors in the upbuilding of our sys- tenn of dependable dentistry.

Don C. Seitz Points Out Predicament in Which America May Be Found If Republican Candidate Should Get Himself Elected.

With magnificent irony Don C. Seitz, of The World and Cos Cob. drove home to the intelligence of an American audience in Eagles Hall fanny of the senatorial oligarchy- which has brought the United States into a disgraceful situation before the world.
 Speaking with less regard for the vanity of his audience than some know what will be the situation of the United States if Obregon, after his inaug guration, takes Mexico into the League of Nations, and Harding by an accident of dishonor is pres- ident.
 The Republican platform, said Seitz scowls upon Mexico and threat ems war. When Harding makes war and Mexico appeals to the League Of Nations, there will be some scutuins among Republican statesmen.
 I think after listening to Senator Hitchcock's adddess, you will all come to the opinion of the colored sergeant, a friend of mine, met in Argonne after Well, Jim, what do you think of this now?"
 Well, boss sergeant" he replied, "Ah was in Cuby, yass ah was in the Philippines,ah was in Mexico and an m out here and I jest want to say this is the last world war ahm going to have anything to do with.' If that isn't the sentiment of the great majority of the people of the United States, 1 don't know what their sentiment is, and yet we are here tonight those of us cam paigning in the interest of the Demo- cratic candidate, to do what? A most absurd and anomalous thing, to de- fend a victory.
 Never since Alexander the Great marched across the ancient world was there such an exhibition of courage, never such masterly organization, nev- CT such tireless energy as was shown by the people of the United States under Democratic leadership in this world war. What do we have to face A storm of base and cowardly mis- representations designed to take away our moral leadership, to take away our honor, to undermine our strength. It seems incredible that for 20 years this Republican party, which has been barking at the heels of the people of the United States, denouncing those of us who wanted to mind our own business, finds fault with statesnae en

absolute control over every ounce o1 coal produced, thus depriving the op- orators of any voice in determining the method of disposing of thelr product or fixing it's price. The out put of the mines would be taken over by an imperial coal council which would have authority to fix the prices and reimburse the operators.
 The commission was unanimous in favor of "far-reaching elimination of capitalistic gains from coal produc- tion.' The majority of the commls- sion was also convinced of the desir- coal assets from private ownership but it was divided over the method by which this is to be achieved
 Rathenau's plan, which was given for the indemnifica ton of the oper- ators for the use of their plants, pay ment of interest on invested capital, allowances for wear and tear and new equipment and fixed interest for ac- tual capital required for opera tions.
 The commission also favored allow ing workers fixed bonus premiums for increased production and social wei fare institutions, but also suggested penalties in the nature of deductions for decreased output due to the fault of the workers.
 The ma jority group pointed out that if its recommendations were put into effect the operator would at once be deprived of the opportunity of jug gling prices as he would no longer be able to market the coal himself.
 The majority of the commission designated the present plan a pro v;sional procedure which will logically terminate in complete specialization not later than 30 years, assuming that the ultimate confiscatio is fully war ranted by the progress of economic deve1opments.

"SLYNX" NEW
 WINTER FUR

Fur is ever an interest in autumn and this season brings with it a quite new pelt with a Spanish name. It is called "Slynx" and comes to us from South America. Tailored suits, and one-piece frocks will be trimmed with this fur for both morning and after noon wear, and it will adorn hats as well, but smartest of all will be a coat that will be entirely fashioned of it. Resembling astrakhan, it has, however, much smaller and finer curl ing of the surface than either astrak- han or krimmer. It's range of color includes many shades of gray and blue, brown and black. Kolinsky will still be worn, as will the ever becoming mink.

SPENCER SCHOOL NOTES
Tigers VS.. Wellington .Hustlers


The former ferocious name be-
longs to the independent town team
of Spencer, and spectators agree that
the name is fitting. They beat Homer
last week in very close game and
wiped the Wellington Hustlers off
the map with score of 35 to 13. 1t
kept the Hustlers hustling to get
their 13, too. One Wellington player
was disabled and had to be put on the
bench, but of course, that was an ac-
cident. Both teams played a clean
sportsmanlike game. The Wellington
boys lost gallantly and kept in good
humor in spite of losses. /.
Roy Brouse and Cecil are stars at
caging the ball. Dan Root played a
fine game at center, getting the Jump
nearly every time. The Spencer
guards did splendid work too, and by
sticking to their men they kept them
from getting several baskets. The
line up was as follows:
