proximately two billion dollars worth
of livestock products. This is $751;

drawn from the rich grasses, cloyera

The individuality of employees is not
often capitalized and made an asset to
firm in the usual, run of business in
Topeka. Especially is this true in the
mechanical lines.
But George Badders, of the Badders
Motor company, has not only put a
premium on individuality among his
employees, he has offered premiums to
the employees for their individuality,
and has so arranged his business that
individuality is the keynote.
AS an instance, he has placed a
name plate over each mechanics work
bench, and whatever car that particu-
lar mechanic is working on is in a
proper stall Immediately adjacent to
that bench. The idea is that the
owner of the. car. coming in to see how
work is progressing on his machine,
knows who is working on the car
and If later the work is we'll done he
can next time ask for that employee.
or If otherwise can ask that some
other mechanic be assigned. This ar
rangement gives the mechanic a
chance to build up strong personal
following by delivering most efficient
work-ort 70 lose standing by the num-
Der of complaints registered against
him
The same idea is carried out in
every department. Each employee IS
impressed with the fact that he is an
individual. His name is played up.
And customers are encouraged to deal
with definite men rather than with a
vague person, nameless- except in the
general designation of salesman
mechanic, or whatRot.
Among other innovations introduced
in Topeka by Badders is a cash
bonus of $50 offered to each employe
when a child is born to him. The idea
is that removal of a share of the
financial worry of such an occasion
will tend to prevent too much dis
traction from the work assigned him
to do.
Badders also operates a system of
investment certificates on lines laid
down by the Ford Motor company.
Each employee can invest not more
than one-third of his salary in one
of the certificates and on that money
receive a percentage of the net profits
OF the company. The certificates are
good only SO long as the holder thereof
is connected with the Badders COM
pany. If he leaves the employ his
certificates are redeemable at face
value.

Whats the matter with Topeka ?"
is a question that might cause indig-
nant comment from many loyal To-
pekans. But despite Topeka's many
good points. the city has some decid-
edIy bad points. Experts have locked
the city over and tried to diagnose her
troubles from time to time, but there
comes now TO Topeka one of the eX-
pertest OF experts who is thoroly ca
pable of answering the above ques-
ton from at least one important
standpoint. He is a doctor of cities,
one who prescribes Just what should
be done to correct that which "ails
a. city. In other words he is city
planner.
That city planner-who is able to
look at Topeka with unprecedented eyes
and see what the city should have in
place of what it has, and to comment
surely and intelligently upon Topeka s
physical structure as a city, is L. d.
Tilton, representative of the Harland
Bartholomew city planning firm OF st.
Louis. Bartholomew is one of the
foremost city planning experts with
whom Topeka has contracted for the
building of a Topeka plan, to direct
Topeka's growth for years and years
to come.
sThe chief thing wrong with To-
peka as I see it," Tilton said in his
visit to topeka this week, sis that the
faith with the original builders of To-
peka. The builders of late years have
not had the big idea of a city as had
the original planners. The wide streets
laid out by the founders have not been
respected in the additions made to the
city.
'Those who have had a part in the
planning Of streets more recently
opened have been absolutely careless
as to the joining Of new streets to the
old. They have added a fifty-foot
street to a splendid 130-foot street.
needless. There are new streets added
to Topeka that have no trees planted
along them, The-treeless vistas in To-
peka are due to the latter city build
ers and not to the early town plan
ners. In Topeka's early days every
man who owned a lot was required
to plant trees on that lot. In those
treeiess vistas there is a loss of dignity
| for Topeka"
He Praises Topeka.
Tilton gave warm praise to the
older sections of Topeka.
There is a wonderful air of dig
nifty and spaciousness about the
older residence districts" Tilton said.
Those districts show that they were
made by men with vision and unset
fishness and civic spirit. Outlying dis
tricts have not those characteristics,
anu II 10 II-dI 4IlHSe VI pAOInlSCuOuS
Auditors TO Topeka that has deteriori-
ated from the splendidly planned city
Of the early days"
Tilton's statements were based on
his study of the survey of Topeka
streets that has been made in Topeka
in the last several weeks. Before any
beginning is made on the city plan,
engineers representing the Bartholo-
NEW firm make a survey of the en-
tire city with the study of streets as
the first step fla the survey. Much in
teresting and vital information will be
contained in the survey report which
will be made on December 10. when
Bartholomew will come to Topeka for
a conference with the local planning
board.

THE BLACKBERRY.
A Cornish Legend.

It is in Cornwall, England, that one
hears the story of Princess Oliven,
fair daughter of dark sour man. She
was the twin of a dark and bitter
woman, who in nature was her father
over again. Between the two girls
there was no quarrel till the kings
son stopped at their door to beg a
cup of milk. It was Oliven, the fair,
who gave it to him. 1t was the dark
and jealous Gertha who had hoped to
ensnare him. The father of the twins
favored Gertha, and in order to give
Gertha a chance sent Oliven over to
be cared for by a witch. OF course
the prince went back in a day or so
for another cup of milk, and looked
so sad when Gertha poured it for him
that she hated her good sister more
than. ever. The prince soon learned
where Oliven had been sent, and went
to see her. but was told that she had
died and that a blackberry, blooming
out of season across the way. marked
her grave. The witch had turned
the girl into a bush. but brought her
back to her human form when the
prince had gone. But the witch
forgot that a wizards wit is as

during the remainder of the day.
When all the school children have
been sent on their way, and the Of
flee workers have been at their desks
long enough to get settled into their
work, the shopping crowd of house
wives begins to take their places.
And in the afternoon the women
who have not done their shopping
during the forenoon, or who have

ride on the street car.
This run leads TO the healthiest
