the home that afternoon.
It Made Cs Happy."
"It was just awfully kind, mamma
said, and it made us oh. so happy,"
said the elder of the girls, as she stood
at the desk and told of the family's
condition. '"Mamma has been sick
most a month now and we haven't had
a dinner like this since papa died. I
stay at home and work when mamma
is aicK ana mat lets jenme go to
school. When I was a little bit of a
girl before papa died, we used to have
a great big turkey every Thanksgiving
day.
"Then after he died, mamma had
to work hard to keep us in school and
to buy clothes and something to eat.
It didn't look like we would have any
Thanksgiving this year; but I didn't
say anything to mamma and sister
about it. Those things make mamma
cry and feel bad and I Just thought I
would act cheerful and maybe some
day it would be all right anyhow.
Then the lady came with the basket.
There was chicken and pie and cake
and fruit. Just the other day I want
ed to buy mamma some fruit, but I
didn"t have the money."
As the girls reached the foot of the
stairs, they turned and smiled back at
Mrs. Justus. Today they are eating
then- first real Thanksgiving dinner in
five years.
People Were Thankful.
All morning the telephone bell in ths
office of the association has been jing
ling and people at the other end of the
line have been saying their thanks for
the good things to eat Sometimes a
lump rises in the- speaker's throat and
for a moment they stop and dry a tear.
It is always the same message th.t
comes over the wire. There would
have been no ThanksgiviBg dinner in
that home today, had not a kind wo
man who thinks of the need of other
people, called and left the good, sub
stantial food the family needed.
This m-ornini? a litt'e boy called at
the office of the association and totd a
c'?rk how happy a basket had made a
home on the East side. The boy's
clothes were several sixes too large,
they were old and dirty and soiled, the
shoes were worn and the soles nearly
worn through. The boy had walked
nearly a mile to thank the association
for a Thanksgiving basket; and he
was happy.
As he left the office a wrrrtan turned
to the reporter and said. "The associa

On account of the unusually warm
weather this year the work of the as

some previous Thanksgiving weeks.
Donations sufficient to handle the
work, were received from the more
fortunate homes of Topeka and the as

a home where it was most needed.
Wednesday afternoon five women
were busy distributing the baskets.

Kansas university football squad held
its final practice at the Soldiers' Home
field here Wednesday afternoon. The
team left on a special car today for
Kansas City.
The coaches and players are alike
confident that Kansas will win and
that the score will be large enough
to prove that it was bv no fluke.
Johnson, the K. L. captain, has re
covered his old time ability at punt
ing and in the last two days of prac
tice has booted the ball several times
more than 75 yards. What the exact
lineup of the team for the game will
be is hard to say. even the coaches are j
undecided. So many of the players I
look good that nearly all will be given
an opportunity to play In the big

J- R- Mulvane and E. D. Kellam
promptly subscribed J5.000 each, while
a number of other Topeka capitalists
expressed a willingness to subscribe.
Through absence or other compli
cations, the subscriptions were not ob
tained. It was thought that a differ
ent form of corporation than proposed
by Wernecke would be more acceptable
to prospective investors, a new pros
pectus and stock subscription was pre
pared to be circulated, by which the
corporation should be Incorporated for
a capital stock of Jl,G0O,0.'O. about two
thirds of which was to be preferred
stock and one-third common stock.
Interested parties promoting the re
organization plans were active and
counted on creditors and stockholders
remaining quiet until the new plans
could be executed. There are about 2viO
stockholders in the company and it was
impossible to hoid them off.
A suit was filed last week In the dis
trict court of Shawnee county for
J1.915. A few days later as Mr. Wer
necke passed through Kansas City, he
was served with a summons in a suit
filed there for about $2,000.
Rumors became more persistent
that some dissatisfied stockholders
were about to apply for a receiver
and it was deemed advisable to file a
petition in bankruptcy In order ta
stop these miscellanoeus proceedings
and to have a receiver applied for In
order to preserve the property as a
going concern and keep it from being
closed by attachments and other pro
ceedings. Story of the Smith Auto Company.
The company was organized eight
years ago by Clement and Anton
Smith. They found their capital was
not sufficient to carry on the business.
Then Wernecke. a Grand Rapids mil
lionaire, and his associates paid $25.
000 to Dr. Anton Smith for his Inter
ests. Immediately the company was
reorganized as a Missouri corporation.
Wernecke and his people then put
$75,000 into the business, which is
claimed by some was intended to be
for capital stock.
Wernicke and his friends claimed
later that the property was misrepre
sented to them and claimed that for
this reason the $75,000 they put Into
the plant was In the form of a loan
and that they are creditors to thl
amount.
The Great Smith ear Is a splendid auto
mobile of established reputation, holding
many points cf great merit and advan
tage. The enterprise needs all possible
encouragement and seems to have ben
handicapped mainly by lack of capital
to do the big business in sight.
