Several have tried it and say it is a great' help when the fields are muddy. Two planks, four long and eight inches wide, ar usedJThey are bolted on flat ways on each side of the big wheel about two inches from it, and the same length above the bottom of the wheel.

KELLEY SAYS Topeka, July 24. Mr. Robertson wanted to stay in Topeka he could do so, said J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Commercial club, this afternoon, referring to the removal of the office of the United States district attorney, Fred Robertson, to Kansas City, Kan. "Mr.

Robertson himself says his removal to Kansas City is purely a selfish matter; that there is better opportunity to establish a law office in that city. "The government has been asking for the exercise of economy, but there is no economic reason why the office should be changed. Robertson wants to tear up fifty years of precedent. The next United States district attorney may want to move the office to Coffey ville or some other place. It is pure and simple politics." The Eleetrie Lighted "On Time" Road.

Fox Feature Marie Corelli's WORMWOOD" HIP PO TEMPORARILY LOCATED HAS BEST YEAR IN ITS H1ST0HY Contracts for More than $200,000 Ob-talned by Leavenworth Bridge Company.

BUILDING TOPEKA INTERURBAN Al Bohr Gets Contract for $150,000 to Erect All Bridges on Helm In- ternrban Line From Kansas City to Topeka. The Leavenworth Bridge Company is facing one of the most prosperous years in its history. At present, 1t has obtained more than $200,000 in bridge contracts, has fourteen gangs of men at work and more than 500 on the payroll each week All pay checks come from Leavenworth. Al Rohr of the Leavenworth company, returned a few days ago from Junction City where he obtained a $25,000 contract to build a bridge across the Republican River. In addition the company has a $150,000 contract to build all the bridges on the Heim interurban line between Kansas City and Topeka.

This will be known as the Kansas City and Kaw Valley Western Railway Company. BIG JOB AT LAWRENCE. The biggest job on the line is over the Union Pacific tracks just out of Lawrence. The local company will erect a 200-foot span, placed on immense concrete piers. The bridge will be 900 feet long.

The company has numerous county and city jobs over this state and Oklahoma. "If it had not been for the high water," said Mr. Rohr yesterday, "we would have the Third street bridge here in the city nearly completed by this time." The Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Works company has- fully as many contracts One of its largest jobs is in Louisiana. COMPETITION KEEN. Competition is very keen in the bridge business, and there is much expense incurred every time a company presents a bid.

High salaried designers must bfe employed to draw different designs and then expert men must be on the payroll who know how to bid on jobs and make money for the company. When a company can land a contract on a design much higher priced than that turned in by a competitor there is general rejoicing. Many ruses' are employed to get the contracts. If a bridge man discovers he probably will lose a contract, he prepares' "other and better designs" which he wishes to show to the contracting parties in private. And often they get the contract in this manner and talk the contracting parties out of the specifications prepared by their engineers Boy Best Angler.

Sabetha, July 24.

Janet Beecher is in the stellar role In ''Fine a Shubert-Brady production at the Orpheum today, a play written by Eugene Walter, au thor of The Wolf" and othei8 success ful stage plays.

"Wormwood" Tomorrow. "Wormwood," Marie Corelli's mast-erwork. with a cast of exalted eminence, is the Fox feature at the Orpheum for Monday; a pictureplay that sets a high standard even when it is considered that it is one of the remarkable productions of the Fox Film corporation which has given the public such noteworthy features as "A Fool There Was," "The Clemenceau Case," and others. The story, based on Marie. Corelli's famous novel, and play is strikingly dramatic and powerful and holds with a real grip from start to finish.

IThen too the acting and mounting of "Wormwood" is above praise. The Pont Neuf bridge at night and a portion of Notre Dame Cathedral are both marvels of realism especially worthy of notice. Ethel Kauffman, a sixteen-year-old leading woman, as Pauline, is wonderfully r.ppealing and charming in the character of the unhappy little heroine. TWO KEYSTONE COMEDIES AT THE LYCEUM TODAY. Two of the most popular of all the funny people in the world today are Charley Chaplin and Roscoe Arbuckle.

Mack Sennet seldom worked them together in a picture for it was like getting two pieces of pie at the same meal. But they're at the Lyceum today. Charley in a single reel and Fatty in a two reeler both Keystone plays. In the single reeler Charles has the lead in "The Star Boarder" and anyone who has ever lived in ai boarding house and anyone who has not will laugh a plenty. Then along comes the two reeler with "Fattv Arbuckle in the lead in "Fatty Plucky Pup." What Roscoe and the "purp" manufacture in the way of fun is well worth going miles to see for they guarantee to cure anv case of indigestion, blues, ingrowing toe nail or wartc on the nose.

The usual and always a feature on today's program is the Mutual Weekly. John Emerson In "The Failure" Lyceum Monday. John Emerson, the character actor whose work in "The Bachelor's Romance" won him fame as a screen star, plays the lead at the Lyceum on Monday in "The Failure," a 4-part Reliance Mutual Master picture. This is a story of a play and a playwright which gives one an insight of what goes on behind the scenes. The pub-lice Is always interested in this kind of a drama and this picture which carries with it all the glamour and tinsel of the stace.

a well as a real picture of life that is not all nectar and honey, will be liked. John Emerson's skillful picturiza-tlon of Tom Warden "The Failure," is ably supported by Olga Gray, A. D. Sears and others. It is one of the series of Mutual Masterpictures which means that all will get what they expect an extraordinary feature film on which no expense has been spared to give the best in moving pictures.

PRIZE ROMANTIC DRAMA AT THE HIPP TODAY. Some of the scenes that Gene Gaun-tier has produced in "The Beautiful Mad Maid of the Forest," picture are too beautiful to be real. Miss Gauntier is an ariisiic gemus ana max all there is to it. She hunts for weeks and dayr for the right locations, she found them for the beautiful "'Mad Maid" picture.
