TALKING TOO MUCH By Walt MALOD The scientist who's conquered fame by doing one thing well, shows wisdom sticking to the game in which he doth excel. But when a man has reached. his height, he thinks that big ukase on any theme must be all right, to educate the race.

So men of wisdom and renown oft make themselves absurd. when they in majesty sit down to epeak. the final word. Astronomers observe the stars that in the echer dance, and they cau tell the planet Mars from Venus' at a glance. Their lore is splendid and profound, wo grect their names with cheers, and their discoveries resound through both tho hemispheres.

But wheh those worthics leave their stars, their orbs and Milky Ways, and talk to us of motor cars. they startlo. and dinaze. Their ignorance of choo-choo carts is something deep: and dense; their discourse, breaks our hearts, shy of geusc. And ret they think, the wise old loons, their logic rings the bell; because, have the dope on moons, they must know cars, as well.

There's old Professor JingleJoncs, a. man of worth and brains; for fifty years he's studied bones and petrified remains. For fifty years this grand old chap stuck strictly to his trade, on other themes he closed his trap, no fool ho made. At last on remarks, displayed such arrant, bonchead views that people thought the mess he made too to amuse. When he is planted by the kirk beneath the sculptured stones, men will forgct his splendid work among the 80- cient boues; but they'll remember with a laugh the too ish things he said, that men should live on bay and chaff, and cut out pies abd bread.

(Copyright. 1028, Adams Syndicate) Ralph Smalley The promotion Ralph Smal-' ley, district manager for the Kansag Electric Power company, and president of the Chamber of Commerco. to ussistant general manager with Headquarters at Lawrence, was announced by T. T. Parker, general manager, of Lawrence.

O. H. Weddle, rision superintendent, will take Smalley's place Emporia. Tie changes are effective April 1. Mr.

"There have -been many now houses built. and they are being assessed for tho first time," the jelerk sald. "The assessors this year are assessing all properties jat their true values, while in the past they have been assessed at only partial values." The valuation of property In townships will be about the eamo this year as two years ago, cording to the clerk. The effect tho increased valuation of Emporia property will depend entirely on the levy mado by the city commission. If the city's nods are the same when the next levy is mado and the inin valuation is largo enough, tho lory will be smaller but.

until the ussessors complete their work and the city's needs are determined, it is merely a matter of speculation. The assessors are moro than ball through with their work. Noosho Rapids Assessors have finished and Buchtong assessors will finish this weck. Tho assessed valuation of real estate in Emporia will be much higher than it was when the as- Wear- Sues Woman Motorist. Suit for $1,069 nas been filed in the Lyon county district court against Mrs.
