Uncle Sans Alaskan railway, talked
Of for two decades, and under con
structioa for six years, was connected
in February.
This last spike will, on The com
pletion day, was driven into place on
the bridge at Riley Creek, near Me

track layers. Later, some time in
the summer, it will be replaced by a
golden spike when the formal dedi-
cation Of the railway will be cele-
bratcd.
The railroad runs from Seward to
Fairbanks-467 miles - and has
branches to coal fields, which make
total trackage Of $50 miles. The
cost was Approximately $56, 1000,

Once upon time waggoner became stuck
fast in muddy road. He climbed down. took
a look at the begged up wheels and promptly
fell upon his knees, entreating Hercules to

Hercules looked down from above, and said,

If the wagon of your finances is stuck in the

But if you pay cash for what you buy, you'll

BIC BANKING FIRM.
Kansas Reserve State Bank
Was Organized in 1915.
Accounts Are Now Distributed
10 All Parts of City.

The Kansas Reserve State bank was
| organized in 1916 with capital and
surplus of s25O,0O0. Frank p. Mac
Lehman, Earl Akers. former state
treasurer, and F. C. Kaths. formerly
/ connected with a bank in Hutchinson,
were the chief organizers.
The bank grew rapidly, at first
probably owing to its being the only
bank south of Eighth street which
gave the business institutions and resi-
dents a place to bank that was nearer
to them. The bank has now grown
so that its accounts are scattered all
over the city.
In 1919 Theodore c. Mueller, who
was cashier of the Guaranty State
bank in Topeka became assistant cash
Ter of the Reserve bank and was soon
promoted to cashier; and is at pres
ent vice president of the bank.
Altho J. H. Lee had been a stock
holder of the bank since its beginning,
in the spring of 1919 he organized the
and became president, shortly after
ward he became vice president of the
bank. In January. 1922, he succeeded
Mr.. Akers as president.
H +. Guthrie, who was with the
Central National bank in Topeka be-
came the cashier of the Kansas Re-
serve bank in January, 1922.
Meet Needs of Customers.
A large part of the success of the
bank has been due to the personnel
ing special efforts to meet the needs
of their customers. Another impor-
tant factor in the sources OF the Re-
serve trio is due to the fact that all
the banking can be done under one
roof whether under building and loan,
investment or in banking. The insti-
tuition is in a position to know the
need and gives better service thru its
affiliated interests.
c. Z. Eldredge, secretary of the
building and loan association has made
d record for his institution in the bust
ness builded in SO short a time. AS
ISOLATED with Eldredge is Paul Morri-
son, assistant. and H. c. Pribble of
the Santa F'e as president.
In the investment institution, w.
W. Eden became secretary III January.
1922, succeeding Geo. C. Thompson
his wide acquaintance in Topeka he
has been able to work up a fine Glen
-tele in the bond business.
Ed. +. Grote has been quite a factor
in the business, being manager of the
real estate department.
"A young man or woman who does
not wear a smile. has no place in the
Reserve trio, said J. H. Lee. THAT
is one of the first things that is taught
our employees. We always want our
customers greeted with d smile.''
The latest addition to the bank is
the installation iof the school savings
account. This teaches the children to
save, no matter if it is only one or two
cents a week. This is handled thru
the city schools and each teacher is
cashier for her room. This is a new
thing in Topeka.
While the bark has had only three
bank days since the installation of this
new system, something over 1000 ac-
counts have been opened by Topeka
school children.

Badders Motor Company Sells
Ford Cars and Accessories.
Business Outgrew It's Quarters
in Two Years. Time.

The first Ford sold by the Badders

company in Topeka was opened by
Geo S. Badders at 427-429 Jackson
street.
When the business grew too large
for the space it was moved to its pres
ent location at AT jackson street.
The move was made between 6 o'clock
Saturday evening and midnight. Gus
toners were served as usual Monday
morning
In less than year Badders had to
move from a 50-foot front to a new
location of a 150-front in the same
block. The cid location at 427 Jack
sn street is retained by the Badders
Motor company for assembling new
cars. tractors and trucks.

SpeeiaIizes in Kodak Work and
Picture Framing.

James G. Wolcott (Jim) started
business eighteen years ago with a
4x5 camera. With this box-shaped
camera he bought a developing outfit.
He experimental with snap shots dur
ing his off hours from Washburn col
1ege and decided to make the pictures
pay for themselves. He solicited
Kodak developing and printing and
found that he had more work 10 do
than he had time. He bought more
material and equipment as his bust
ness grew and rented a basement OF
a house to do his work.
J. X. Jones who was in business at
SOS Kansas avenue was attracted by
the work Of WOlcott and asked VOL
colt TO do developing and printing for
his store For two years he worked
n the Jones store. then Jones loaned
Jim WOlcott $50 and Jim went into
business for himself

shop IS the second largest car shop in
Topeka.
A list of the names of buyers of
cars is posted on the wall and one
reads the list of names as he enters
the offices. A complete supply of Ford
parts and accessories can be obtained
at the Badders Motor company
Geo. C. Badders was formerly in
the parts department of the Ford Mo-
tor Co. and later was the company
salesman in Kansas and
Missouri.
A Shop of Service.
Badders has not spared expense in
making his shop one of service and
efficiency The best in time saving
equipment has been bought. A $3.50
cash register which gives the complete
record of business done in a day, in
five minutes after closing time has
been installed. An intercol-imunicat-
ing telephone has also been installed
in the plant.
The Badders Motor company covers
a floor space of $4,000 square feet.
In connection with the display room
on the north side of the building is a
rest room equipped for accommoda-
ton of the traveller or buye-.
A unique parade was given last year
by the company. The thirty
Ford cars. and tractors that consti-
tuted one weeks sales were placed in
parade.

loan he became connected with the
George Godfrey Moore art store at 100
Kansas avenue. Wolcott wanted a
line in picture framing and liked
Moore's framing business also. He
made Moore an offer and Moore ac-
cepted.
A few years after that wolcott
found that he needed more space and
moved to S25 Kansas avenue. He
used the first floor OF this building
for his art work and picture framing
and the second floor for the develop
ment and printing of pictures.
His 4x5 camera also netted him a
fifteen acre fruit grove in Florida that
is bearing and could be sold today
for $4,000. Last April Wolcott
moved his photographing business to
the second floor of his shop at S25
Kansas avenue and he went to Florida
to take care of his fruit grove.
The Wolcott shop in Topeka now
does kodak work and picture framing.
The commercial work has been given
up because of Mr.. Wolcott's absence.
The shop does as much kodak work
as formerly.
Jim Wolcott always had quick re-
suits in his work. He has brought to

May Robson

No matter what part May Robson
may be playing. she always plays May
Robson first and foremost And May
Robson is a most delightful lady and
a good actress, which is a great deal
to say.
1t is no parade when she comes on
the stage She can act just as well
in the kind of clothes an old-fashioned
gowns especially created by Boue
Soeurs of Rue de la Paix, Paris and
New York City," as she demonstrated
Wednesday night. She can be as dig
nified as a queen is supposed to be,
and as undignified as, say, canary
bird.
For instance, there was Mothers
Millions in which she played at the
Grand Wednesday. sShe had the part
of an irascible old woman, whose
marvellous business ability has enabled
her to become one of the great finan-
cial powers of the country. She con-
ceals her love and sympathy from
those nearest and dearest to her under
such a peppery exterior that they hate
and love her at the same time. She
fights men in the business world at
their own game, and wins.
In every way she can, she tries to
make herself appear to be entirely
heartlesS, unreasonable, and unpleas-
ant But thru it all, her humor and
her love for her children show her to
be really a very 1Ovable old lady. She
7 -nageS her daughter ana son INTO
successful marriages without their
knowing she had a hand in it; she con-
Iquers the villainous financier, who
tries first to ruin her and her son, and
failing that, to kill her. At the end
she has made a success of all her plans
and has the unQuestioned love of her
children.
It was an enjoyable play. and the
audience liked it and asked for more.
May Robson is always a favorite with
Topeka people anyway; and she put
all the ability she had into Mothers S
Millions" which is to say, great deal
of ability.
Lillian Harmer, as the maid of all
work, and Russell Hicks, as the son,
stood out especially among the other
actors, who, as q whole, gave entirely
adequate performances. NJ. B.
