BIG DEMAND FOR CITY BONDS
Issue of $4,000 in Water Securities
VIII Be on Market Soon.

It is probable that the last issue of
the water filtration plant bonds, com
prising $4,000 in five per cent,
twenty-year bonds, will be ready for
the market by January 1. F. L. Stew
ems, city finance commissioner, said
today. The bonds will be purchased
by local bidders, Stevens says. At
least a part of the issue will be pur-
chased by the water department it
self, thru its sinking fund. Other To-
peka capital has already filed appi-
cation for the remainder of the bonds.
Eastern bond buyers are also after
the bonds, but are being informed by
Stevens that local capital will take
care of the issue. There is no need
of a single bond leaving the city in
the present state of the bond market,
which is a mighty good thing to say
of the city, as a community, Stevens
said today.
The ordinance authorizing the issue
of the bonds, which are the last of
the $3.50 authorized in the cleo
tions of 1920, will come before the city
commission, Tuesday for final pas
sage. The other technicalities Incl
dent to the issue of the bonds will be
completed by January 1, Stevens is
sure

making in helping other people lead a
clean, model life.
Now it seems that the state went
away and left the reform business in
idle hands. 1t appears that the ci-
garet and rouge box mean just as
much in model 1922 style reforms as
Pilgrims Progress in a Theda Bara
fillyum.
1t is the state board of administra-
ton that has posted the ed.ct of up to
the minute reform. The state board
has established the farthest north rec
ord in making Kansas a better place
to live. With a keen eye for the need
of state betterment the board has
kone into the uplift business a bit on
its own account.
The board has decreed against
bobbed hair!
This order hits right at several
school for girls at Beloit. It takes
from them credits which they had
gained before the girls organized their
own scissors brigade and began a lock
slashing campaign.
Recently girls at the Industrial
school started a mutiny. It was u
real, sure enough, life size uprising.
For a few days they took charge OF
the school and ran the school accord
ing to their own ideas. 1t was when
the mutiny was being conducted to
music and song that the girls decided
to provide their own tonsoriaI stand /
ards.
Now the state board has put a ban
on the bobbing of hair except under
the circu umstances and conditions pro-
vided and approved in the resolutions.
1t is the states latest step to maintain
a high moral tone.

A little more virtue, a little less

A little more loving, a little less

A little more trusting, a little less

A little more courage when path
ways are rough,
A little more action, a little less bluff,
A little more kindness by you and
