friends of the college in the state
house. we can offer a course which
cannot be duplicated anywhere in

located in a state capital. 1t is the
best possible environment for training
citizens"
The administrative side of state
government will be emphasized in the
course which Professor White will
give this year. Next year, when the
legislature is in session, he will give n
course emphasizing the study of the
legislative branch of state govern
ment.
Professor White is now at work or
ganizing the course and hopes soon to
be able to announce the list of lee
lures. From the officials he has al
ready approached he has received a
warm promise of cooperation.
Special students of mature age, not
otherwise connected with the college,

ton Held Friday Night.

sanized charity" said L. A Halbert,

the needs of the people but to implant
into their hearts a desire for some
thing higher and better"

CITY TOTAL OF S13,921
Receipts in General Fund of To-
peka Showed Considerable In
crease During 1921-TotaI Re-
ceipts Were $472,7S447.

Receipts in the general fund of the
city of Topeka showed a considerable
increase during 1921 over the receipts
of 1920, according to a statement is
sued from the office of c. c. Knowl
ton, city auditor. The total receipts
for the year amounted to S472,737.47.
drawn from twenty-four different
sources.
One of the outstanding differences
from the statement of 1920 is in the
amount received from police court
fines. There was taken into the treas
ury during 1921, SIS, 5,6S6.01-an in
crease of approximately $4,000 over
last years receipts.
The balance on hand at the end of
the year amounted to but $13,921.53.
The balance at the beginning of the
year was s20.265.12 The difference
is due to the fact that there are more
than $4,000 in taxes which are delin-
quent and which have not yet been
received, and to contracts which were
paid out of the general fund during
1921, which We're not encountered in
1920.
The balance is divided as follows:
Mayor, S5,s7S.23; commissioner of
streets and public Improvements, s4.-
0T1-65; commissioner of water and
light, s1,149.45; commissioner of
parks and public property. s1.4126s;

HEALTH IS BAD
Much Sickness in County, DR..
C. C. LulI Says.
Flu Cases Are Not All Reported
to Officers.

Influenza, bad colds. and general i'll
health are twice as prevalent in Shaw
nee county as they usually are at this
season of the year, DR.. c. c. Lull,
county physician. asserted today.
Influenza is as prevalent in Shaw
nee county generally as it is in To-
peka." Doctor Lull said. There are
sixteen cases of influenza reported to
him at the present time in the county
and outside the city limits. Pneu-
monia has appeared as a complication
in three of them. There have been no
deaths as yet from the disease.
Doctor Lull believes that not nearly
all the cases of influenza in the
county have been reported, agreeing
in that respect with DR.. Earle G.
Brown. city health officer, as regards
the city of Topeka.
Hard to Diagnose.
The reluctance of a physician to
diagnose as influenza when the all
ment may be only a bad cold is held
by the two officers to be the main
reason for the few reports which have
been received.
There is not being taken at The
present time sufficient pyecaution
against the spread CT the disease, all
doctors agree.
Influenza cases, when reported, are
quarantined. Pneumonia is not a
quarantinable disease, however

Mrs Matte Toothaker KimbaIl of
Manhattan, one of the out of town
speakers at the Western Sorosis club
reception at the home of Mrs. F. w.

program this afternoon. Mrs. Kimban
urged the women's influence be used
at this crucial time. to hold fast to the
ideals of the past and the present
with the air full of new schemes
and promises of largeness, the hopes
engendered would be without issue
other than destructive and the prom
ises false and fatuous." she declared.
Mrs. Kimball referred directly to
the Nonpartisan league and its activ1-
ties Il have no doubt that the in
tention of the majority of the mem
bers of that league are honest in their
intention" she said. But there is no
doubt in my mind that the method
they have taken is destructive and
dangerous.

withdrawn by Frank C. Boasen, of
