many organizations looking to the

our most vital essentials compares
with that Of the American Remount
Association, an organization composed
Of some Of the country's leading men.
It came into being as a result OF the
dire necessity Of more and better

The object OF the Remount Asocia-
ton Is the improvement OF general
purpose horse conditions In every
State in the Union; and because Of
the importance Of the work entailed.
Col. F. S. Armstrong, Of the United

eighteen months Of Its existence,

from the Associations headquarters
in Washington show that there has
been an average Of fifty-fve mares for
each stallion, although the breeding
season is not yet concluded. Also, at
a meeting Of the Association, 1t was
shown that there was a demand Tor
some seven. hundred horses last

washington. - An illustration OF the
manner in which public funds are used
in needless printing Is presented IN the
recently distributed pamphlet OF the
Department Of Labor on "Illegitimacy
as child-welfare problem" This PAM
phlet compiled by the Wilson admin
istration Nils 4OS pages. In the first
70 pages there is very elaborate re-
view Of the whole pamphlet showing
that study was made of records OF
illegitimacy in Massachusetts,, with
facts and conclusions deduced there
form. The summary shows that one
child in A in Massachusetts is born
out of wedlock, that about half OF the
mothers Of children born out OF we'd
lock we're otherwise Of goo dcharacter,
that a large proportio nof them were
| earning their living, that 56 per cent
Of the children SO born had care by
others than the parents, that illegiti-
mate birth is a disadvantage and EN-.
barrassment to the child, that a large
proportion of fathers of illegitimate
children do not contribute to their sup
port, and that 1t is necessary for the
state to make provision for the support
of illegitimate children where the par
emit fail in this regard. AS remedies
for illegitimacy it is suggested that
improved industrial conditions educa-
ton, recreation, supervision Of com
mercialized amusements, and provision
for the care of the feeble-minded and
defective, would be effective. These
facts and conclusions, which are here
set forth in less than fifty lines, are
fully detailed in the 70 pages OF the
summary of the pamphlet and would
have been adequate for all practical
purposes without the remainder OF the
4OS pages. Most fthe facts set forth
and remedies suggested are already
known in a general way by all social
workers and 1t is doubtful that publ
cation of detailed statistics Will ala

Two bills of interest to Kansas City,

other is the bill which provides for the

several times as being opposed to

large scale. 80
Circumstances this morning We're

Proof of the West.
The Kansas Life Insurance COM
pany in the year 1920 reported a larg-
er gain than any other company Or
ganized in the state.
"A record of this kind" Ellis says,
sis sufficient proof of a mistaken idea
that nothing big financially could be
accomplished in the west 1t is proof
that western men, confident of their
ability to handle a financial institu-
ton as we'll as eastern men were ca
pable of doing, have grasped an OPP
portunity to hold in the state of Kan
sas a large part of the money invested
in life insurance that has been pour
ing unchecked into the money mar
kets of the east"
Few persons outside of those ac-
lively engaged in some form of finan-
cial work have any idea of the tire
mendous value to citizens of this state
of the work this company has accom-
plished," Ellis points out. Every one
in any line of business realizes that
the great chain of business mocha
nism depends entirely on farming. The
success of all business depends on the
success of the farmer. Kansas is
practically exclusively an agricultural
state. The success of the Kansas
farmer has to large extent depend
ed on his ability to be properly
financed, to be able to get money when
he needed tito be able to get it at
a reasonably low rate and to be able
to obtain it at once
Profit Out of state.
Kansas money has gone east thru
life insurance channels and come back
again loaned to Kansas farmers thru
still other channels. On each of the
various transa ctions in the chain from
Kansas east and back again, the
farmer. paid. the other mans profit in
the rate demanded of him. There
were long tedious delays, quantities of
red tape, and countless obstacles in
his way before he could get the money
he needed at once.
The Kansas Life Insurance company
land other Kansas companies have
helped to obviate- this great difficulty.
1t has meant development to this state.
Kansas money was kept where it was
readily available to the farmer who
needed it and he was able to get it
with only a minimum delay at rates
he found satisfactory.

pointed out today by DIR. Earle G.

year 101 babies less than a year old

prematurely born. Fifty-two babies
We're still born. and their number is

Many prospectivef mothers cannot
afford to have the medical attention

to meet the needs of such mothers,
altho mothers of more plentiful means
are welcome to come to the clinic for
advice. The physician to have direct
charge of the clinic, who is DR.. Wal
Ter H. Wedding. will not take charge
of maternity cases, except in so far as
he is able to give advice and to refer
the patients to their family physi-
cians.
only in the larger cities are such
clinics usually found" Commissioner
McG-ffert said. But we feel that no
clinic couId be more important than
a mate, n:ty clinic and since the other
clinics the city has supported have
proved of service, we are sure that the
new clinic will mean much to Topeka.
We have contemplated the establish
ment of this clinic for some time, but
have had to wait for enlargement OF
our facilities before we could handle
the additional work"
One Every Week.
A new clinic room will occupy one
of the office rooms allotted to the city
board of health on the third floor OF
the city hall. Office room in the de-
partment will be limited to make room
for the new clinic work.
