Riley officers reported at the fair. They included Capt. H. R. Rich mond, Lt. Hayden W. Wagner, and Lt. S. Doal. Those who were on the grounds this morning were others than those sim ply on pleasure bent. There were hun dreds of visitors in the display barns at all hours, and the judging of the livestock in all departments interested a large number of persons. There were between three and four hundred per sons on the grandstand while the judg ing of the horse department entries was in progress. The concert by Con way's band was a pleasing feature of the entertainment for the morning. All regular and special trains enter ing Topeka today have been crowded with Big Fair visitors. This is "Farm ers' Day" and there is a great crowd on the grounds. Many of the Shawnee county farmers together with their families drove in to the fair today, bringing their lunches along. A special program was arranged for the farmers today. The first event was the opening of the three-day but ter fat contest and demonstrations in the dairy department. Then came the judging of the collective agricultural exhibits in the agricultural hall. Be ginning at 10:30 o'clock lectures were delivered by several prominent farm experts. The concert on the plaza by Con way's band drew a large crowd at 11 o'clock. The band is strictly a con cert organization, and it has come up to advance notices in every respect. The concert by Marshall's Military band at the corner of Eighth and Kan sas avenues was appreciated by many of the visitors who uttended the fair later in the day. The farmers of Kansas were strong in their praise of the fair today. It is ad judged by all who attended as the (Continued on Pa&e Two.) tiieyuRTtopeka Two Authorities Tell Why This Fair Is Best. One a Stock Expert and Other a Newspaper Man. Ed R. Sillitnan of Colo, Iowa, a di rector and member of the board of the National Shorthorn Breeders' associa tion, and field man for the Daily Liver stock World of Chicago, was an en thusiastic visitor at the fair today. He attended the Hutchinson fair the forepart ot tha week and when asked for a comparison of the two fairs he Baid: "You've got them skinned. The quality of the cattle is better than that of the Hutchinson fair. It surpasses mau in iiumuers. Mr. Silliman is visiting with his! brother-in-law. Dr. A. B. Jeffrey. He is not only a representative of the Shorthorn organization, but he is trav eling in the interests of the Kansas City American Royal. He is an au thority on cattle, having done work In judging. 1 Hutchinson, had all the best of the weather the fore part of this week, but Topeka had the real show is the word from those who have attended both fairs. George W. Marble, owner of the Fort Scott Monitor, who attended the Hutch inson fair the first of the week and who was In Topeka today, stated that Topeka has the Hutchinson fair outclassed fifty to one in the live stock departments. There is no better stock in the country than is on display at. Xopeka. II Governor Hodges believe the Topeka state fair is one of tile greatest of Kansas institutions. Kvery citizen should attend, he says. A day at the races, in the stock barns and exhibit booths teaches a lesson of the greatness of a state that cannot be learned elsewhere, the Kansas governor de clares. "Every man. woman and child could profitably spend a day or a week at the fair," said Governor Hodges. "It is one of the greatest of many great Kansas institutions. It is because the fair is In itself an education that I enjoy attending, that I take my wife and my son and my daughter. It is the' best opportunity that Kansas affords to study the greatness of a state and her people. No man or woman can spend a day at the fair without leaving the grounds a confirmed and enthusiastic booster for Kan- AT RACK TODAY Double Bill on at State Fair Grounds. Grandstand Packed to Overflow Crowds. Five harness and two running races are this afternoon's, speed events at the Kansas state fair. Neither the horsemen nor the patrons of the fair are to lose anything by the unwelcome rains of the past few days, for the fair management Instead of calling off races which were prevented by rains merely postponed them. The latest report from the track was that the grandstand was crowded to its capacity with the largest crowd that ever turned out to a racing pro gram, and before the first race started all the programs had been sold owing to the fact that the crowd was so much larger than the program man had anticipated. Two automobiles with drags were put to work on the track yesterday and were so effective that the track was soon in much better condition than had been ex pected. The most that had been hoped was that the track would be made only fair for running races, but in a short time it was dscovered that harness racing might be held. But the discovery was maae io0 late lor tnat class ol racing yes terdayThe track is in fine condition to- JSsr the rest of the week, beginning day, racing will begin at 1 o'clock and will continue until darkness interferes if the double programs cannot be completed before. r First Heat 3:11 Pace.

BIG DATTLE ISJESUuED Fighting Is in Progress North of the AJsne. Opposing Armies Stretch Along Front of 110 Miles. GHCT GST FIGHT AL0"E Little More Help Can Be Ex pected From Austria. Her Ally Has Been Badly Crippled by Russians. An official French statement issued in Paris at 3 o'clock this afternoon stated the German army v-s fighting a defensive battle along its front from Noyon, a town cn the Oise river 14 miles northeast of Compiegne, to a point north of Verdun. This would indicate a battle front of approximately 110 miles with the ex treme west 65 miles northeast ot Paris. The German general staff an nounced early today that situation on the west front was still favorable. It was added that the allies have not won a victory at any point on the whole battle front and that the Ger mans could look with confidence to the outcome. London, Sept. 16. The second great battle in northern France since the southbound sweep of the German invaders met its check is apparently in progress north of the River Aisne. The opposing lines are arrayed from the Argonne hills through Rethel to Chateau Porcien and near the prac tice camp .of Sissonne, where the pro gram of the French summer maneu- (ConUnued on Page Two. I CHECK T0 ALLIES Berlin Gives the German Ver sion of the War Game. fetirement Was Due to Superi ority of Enemy's Force. Berlin. Sept. J6. The official state ment issued at the war office today emphasizes the fact that the Germans have now succeeded in checking the entire movement of the allies in France. It is stated that the German army is now entrenched in new strong positions and that at a numoer oi points the Germans have succeeded in driving the French-British line back on their support. So far as the entire situation in France is concerned, the reports to the general staff all agree that the new plan of campaign is working out in a very satisfactory manner. It is also evident that the Germans forces which are operating in East Prussia continue to drive the Russians back and it is believed that an inva sion in force of Russian Poland may be about to commence. General Von Hindenburg is striking at the Russian communications on the east bank of the Vistula and if his present move ment is successful, the Russians will be compelled to withdraw large forces from Galicia thus relieving the pres sure on the Austrian armies. On both the eastern and western frontiers, the report says, the German forces are carrying out their general plan of campaign wi:h uninterrupted success. The reason for the withdrawal of a portion of the German left wing is de clared to be the presence of a super ior French force. The operations about Verdun, however, are being pressed, it is stated. The official war office statement denies emphatically the claims of the French' of a sweeping vietory at the battle of the Marne. It is explained that the withdrawal to selected posi tions was made when the aerial corps reported the presence on the German front, of in army overwhelmingly larger and it is emphasized that the plan of the general staff provided at all times for overcoming a very fierce resistance. HONORS TO MARTIN. Adjutant General Given- Officers of National Guards. Adjutant General Charles I. Martin, will return from the annual meeting of the national guards' association in Boston with all manner of military honors for Kansas. The leader of the Kansas military forces has been re-elected president of the adjutant generals' association, has been chosen vice president of the national guards' association, named as a member of the executive committee of the national guards' association and is bringing the national rifle contest to Kansas. Recognition accorded General Mar tin is by far the greatest ever received by the Kansas militia. His election to the various offices was a distinct recog nition of the ability of the popular Kansan and the landing of the na tional rifle contest was an honor pre viously unknown to the Kansas na tional guards. Through General Martin s efforts the national rifle competition will be held at Fort Riley October 5 to 8. Formerly the Kansas rifle men went to Camp Perry to participate in the annual contest. As a result of a new rule, adopted largely as a result of the Kansas man's efforts. Fort Riley is lesignated as one of the points for rifle competition. All ,of the central states will send their expert rifle men to Kansas for the annual contest and the event will be a matter of national interest in military circles. Weather Forecast for Kansas.

FIGHT HAS LASTED TWO DAYS Covers Field as Extensive as That of Marne. The Entire Force of Both Sides Is Engaged. Paris. Sept. 16. The German armies who failed, according to Frearh Judg ment, to piece a road for tbe r--at by way of the frentfKr toward Mets ap parently have decide to fight another great battle for 'supremacy in the teW ritory northeast of Paris. They have taken up a line almost s extensive as that of the battle of the Marne, and for the last two days thereJ has been in progress a desperate strug gle in which the entire German force that made the rapid advance on Paris lies been engaged. The allied troops, strengthened by new arrivals, also are bringing their whole strength into play. Their pur pose is to dislodge the Germans, who in some quarters are believed to be suffering from exhaustion due to their long continued marches and counter marches, coupled with incessant and fierce encounters between their flank and their rear guard, as they retired and the advance guards of the allies. The positions occupied by the Ger mans for the second extended engage ment, especially at the western end of their line, appear to be suited nat urally for the combat which, accord ing to French military critics, will have a far reaching influence. The Germans are stationed on a great pla teau of undulating country inter spersed here und there with wooded heights. IT IS WARM TODAY. Morning Temperature Was 16 Degrees Above Normal.

ACROSS THE SEA Russians Continue to Pursue the Fleeing Austrians According to a Report Sent Out From Petrograd. Petrograd, Sept. 16. The following ntmntnrv of the recent fighting in Galicia from the Russian point of view has been made public through semi official channels: "Russian troops are pursuing the Austrians with energy and the defeat of the enemy continues. Certain Aus trian armv corns have been virtually annihilated. Russian forces have pass ed the River San. Tne .eastern Prus sian advance guard is approaching Przemysl. "The rapidity with which military operations are being conducted has made it impossible to determine ac curately the losses of the enemy, but it may be said tnat tney are Decerning colossal. "According to such information as has come to hand, the Austrians have lost in the neighborhood of 260,000 men in killed and wounded, this in addition to 100,000 prisoners, 400 pieces of ordnance and a number of standards. In all directions the roads are crowded with artillery, transport wagons and arms and ammunition, 'Which have been abandoned in mass during the precipitate retreat of the enemy. "On the River Vistula Russian troops have taken possession of an ac cumulation of material for bridge building, and they destroyed several steamers, one of which was armored. "The desperate efforts ot German troops to save the Austrian army from utter rojit should be recorded. The active par tiintin nf German army corps in the fighting has been revealed at several different places along tne Austrian ironi, as, for instance, at Tourobine. The Rus sians captured 36 pieces ot long range German artillery. In addition to some 5,000 German prisoners at this point. At other places on the front several dosen large German guns, many of which had been prevented by lack of me from- being used in the fighting, fell into their hands." CALLS ITASHAiViE Sir Lionel Carden Criticises Withdrawal From Vera Cruz. Declares a State of Anarchy Prevails in Mexico. New York, Sept. 16. Sir Lionel Carden, one time British minister to Mexico and recently appointed min ister to Brazil, sailing today on the Celtic for Liverpool. Is quoted by the New York City News association as having made the following statement concerning the withdrawal of Ameri can troops from Vera Crtis: "It is a desperate shame that the United States has seen fit to abaadon the decent people of Mexico when they most need help. "I do not know the reason for this but it would seem that President Wil son has been misinformed in some matters and that if another bide of the situation has been brought to his at tention he has not seen fit to listen to anything that contradicts those who have told him that the country has been pacified. "The people who did not get protec tion in Mexico City and elsewhere went to Vera Cruz for protection. What will they do now They have no means of getting away and will be left to the mercies of the lawless element that will immediately overrun the town and country. Vaquis Turned Loose. "When it is said that a state of ab solute anarchy exists In Mexico it is not stating the facts too strongly. There were some 4,000 good policemen in the City of Mexico, but these have been supplanted by an army of 35,- 000 soldiers that fought the federal government and among these are sev eral thousand of wild Yaqui Indians, who two months ago fought with bows and arrows as the only weapons they knew. Imagine these wild men turned loose in the streets of a great city with no law to govern them and with the residents at their mercy. "Neither life, liberty nor property is safe and whenever an officer so de sires he may turn a family out of its home and commander everything. There is no redress for there are no courts, no congress, no laws nothing but anarchy and military despotism with not even a supreme chief to over see that. "Huerta bad some sort of a gov ernment; Carranxa. has none what ever; the only claim he has to great- sss is his physique and that Is not so terrifying eitner. xnere is not even martial law there because there is no organization, xne Zapatistas, wild, roaming bands of brigands, ev ery few days assault the waterworks of Mexico City, which are only $5 minutes' ride from the city, and are all the time trying to get into town. They are driven away by superior forces but again make an assault when they feel inclined. But this Is only an instance." Wheat Vn 5 Grata. Chicago, Sept. 16. Great buying force made itself evident today in tne wheat pit ana rusnea prices up much as 6 cents a bushel. Reported successful maneuvering of the Ger man and Austrian armies appeared to impress speculators with tbe belief that outlook again indicate a struggle of long duration.

The Battle Line Now Extend Eastland West. CAVALRY FOJp CTES German General Staff Reports Situation Is Favorable. Declare the Allies Have Tfol Won a Victory. London, Sept. 16. A Central News dispatch from Rome Quotes a tele gram from Basel, Switzerland, to the Messagero, stating the Germans are reported to have received orders to retire as far as the right bank of thai Rhine, completely evacuating Franc. Belgium and Luxemburg. Paris. Sept. 16. The Matin, die-. cussing the withdrawal of the Ger mans, points out that In order to cover its retreat and avoid the blocking of roads open to it, the German army will have to mark time and fight a second and perhaps- a third battle. These battles will be fought under conditions, according to the Matin, certainly most favorable for the French forces, which, thanks to their reinforcements and the rapidity of movement assured them by the ways, will be able to face all eventu alities without anxiety. The official communication of Mon day, which referred to the preceding day's developments, said that the enemy showed a disposition to resist north of Aisne river. Yesterday's official communication said that the enemy had resisted on the line from Craonne and the forest of L'Atgle. north of Compiegne. As a simple rear guard stand against the allies this would scarcely last 48 hours, so there must be another hi battle In progress since Sunday.

Settled on Homestead In In dianola in Early Days. 1.1 THE BATTLE OF BIG BLUE Jept Diary of His Life Since 11 Years of Age. Uember of John Brown's Army In Kansas Campaign. i Samuel J. Reader, one of the bat known pioneers of Shawnee county and one of the most remarkable characters la the state, died Tuesday night at his toome at 314 Park street. North Topeka. Mr. Reader succumbed to a lingering illness which resulted in general de bility after a period of a number of years of suffering from rheumatism. Mr. Reader had practically a complete diary of his life since he was 11 years old. This diary contains twelve Ji umes. He and his sister, Mrs. M. A. Cainpdoras, came to Kansas in May, 1365, from La Harpe, 111. He was born In Pennsylvania, Jan- vary 25, 1836. His mother died when be was 4 years old. Mr. Reader, upon coming to Shawnee county, settled on a homestead near the old town of In dianola. The farm is on the north Hide of Soldier creek and he retained owner ship of it as long as he lived. While in Illinois, Mr. Reader read re ports of the Lewis and Clarke expedi tion and this caused him to decide to keep a diary of his own life. In making records of various events through life, Mr. Reader Illustrated the more important affairs with pencil or water color paints. In later years he reproduced a number of these pictures In oil and retained a large collection of them as long as he lived.-' Mr. Reader was opposed to slavery, fend upon coming to Kansas he be came a free stater. He Joined the In dianola guards, and was a sergeant. In Price Raid. Mr. Reader served as a member of the Second Kansas militia, under Col. tieorge W. Veale, during the Price raid and participated in the battle of the Big Blue, which was fought Oct. 22, 1864. He was captured by the rebels, and after three days he es caped -.d walked back to his home Jn Shawnee county. He was held be cause he was suspected of being a Federal spy. Mr. Reader illustrated his capture, and later reproduced it in oil. Since then, he photographed the oil paint ing and a number of people of the city have opies of the photograph. Mr. Reader was a member of John Brown's army during a part of the latter's campaign through Kansas. He met John Brown, masquerading as a surveyor, Sunday, Aug. 3, 1856. John Brown was accompanied by his son and they were traveling with an ox team. This meeting occurred near the old Reader farm at Indianola, Mr. Reader's diary contains a de scription and record of the-Battle of the Blue, in which he relates the per formance of the Second' Kansas mili tia. Mr. Reader was married to Eliza beth Smith of La Harpe, III., Dec. 17, 1867. Mrs. Reader died In 1898. He leaves one daughter, Elizabeth, who has been his constant attendant during his long illness. In recent years, since he has been forced to live a retired life, Mr. Reader has spent much time in revising and completing his diary and these twelve volumes now are probably one of the most interesting books of this kind in existence.

The bit tie lir.e th'.s tine if uta iy straight from the east to the we3t In case the German force should re tire again they would have two lines of retreat by Longwy and by Sedan. It remains to be seen whether, un der the adverse conditions the Ger mans have been able to get their ar tillery into position through the mud. The situation would be desperate in case of defeat for the heavy rains continue and under the circumstances the Germans could hardly get their heavy artillery away. It was rumored last night that the Indian cavalry had arrived and would go into action. This is unconfirmed and doubtless no one will know defi nitely about them until they have ac tually participated in an engagement. The German Side. Berlin, Sept. 16. The German gen eral staff announces that the situation on the west front is still "favorable." It declares that the French and English have at no place,' on the wnoie Daiue irom, won a victory ana that the Germans can look with con fidence to the outcome. Other than this no news is obtain able regarding the progress of opera tions. The public has been showing signs of impatience because of the absence of news from the front and this has led headquarters to repart from its practice and issue reassuring state ments in general terms. The fact that the Siberian corps was engaged in the fighting at Lyck, East Prussia, is noted with interest here as indicating the mobilization of this corps must have been accomplished with extraordinary rapidity to enable it to arrive in Europe within six weeks after the Russian mobilization order was issued No detailed account of the sinking of the cruiser Hela has been given out. It was merely stated that 172 of 181 members of the crew were saved by German ships in the vicinity. Among those lost in the previous battle near Helgoland were Admiral Maas, com mander of the second scouting di vision, and Baron "Von Maltsohn, navi gation officer of the cruiser Koeln, who served a long time on the cruiser Bremen while she was on the Ameri can station. He had many friends in the United States. Americans will also be interested to learn that Commander Von Retse mann, formerly naval attache at Washington, commanded the cruiser Strssburg in her engagement with the enemy. Hundreds of British subjects, prin cipally women and girls, gathered at the American embassy yesterday to ar range for their return passage to Eng land which is now permitted to wom en, children and boys under 16. The embassy has arranged for special trains for them for September 21. Views of the Experts. London, Sept. 16. The center of interest in the western theater in the war has shifted from the right wing of the German army under General Von Kluck to the left wii;r where the relief of Troyon by the French is re garded in London as leaving the army of the German crown prince, Fred erick William, apparently in a dan gerous situation. As had been predicted in England tho Frmch have retaken Rheims, but this step is of greater moral than strategical value," for the line to the northeast of this town provides a bet ter defensive position for the German forces than does the front marked by Rhel. is itself. According to advices received here from Berlin the demand for news in Germany, where the people appear to be growing impatient, has been soothed to a certain extent by the re assuring statement from the general staff that the German line is holding out successfully against the offensive movement of the allies. So far as the last 24 hours are concerned this in formation agrees with news received in London with the exception of that regarding the German left wing. This part of the line, judging from dis patches made public in London, ap pears hot only to have withdrawn from investment of Verdun, but by permitting the relief of Troyon, which is twelve miles southeast of Verdun, to have left -itself only -one line of re treat. This is through the Stenay gap, to reach Luxemburg, or by -way of Longuyon and Longwy to reach Thlonville (DledenholT).. If the allies are able to prevent the army of the crown prince from using Met as a base of operations,: it is felt in London that the German left wins would be in as 'Various a situa tion as was its right-List week. To Wi Died Last Night. OUT OTMEXICO Forces of the United States Are Ordered Withdrawn. Movement to Begin as Soon as Transportation Is Arranged. Washington, Sept. 16. On urgent ap peal of General Carransa, evacuation of Vera Cruz has been ordered by Pres ident Wilson. The American soldiers and marines under General Funston, who have held Mexico's principal seaport since it was seized by the fleet April 1, will em bark for -home as soon as transports can go after them. Shortly afterward all of the war fleet, except a few Ugnt draft vessels, will be withdrawn. ""he order for evacuation was lorraal ly announced at the White House after a iong cab.net meeting. It is the con cluding chapter of the second armed conflict be'v.een the United States and Mexico. The reasons for the step wsr et forth !n the following statement from the White House: The trocps'have been ordered with drawn from Vera Cruz. That aclon is tnken in view, of the entire removal of trie circumstances "which were thought to Justfy the occupation. The further presence of the troops is de strict un necessary." The troops at Vera Cruz undsr Otn- eral Funston including 7,200 soldi ?-s and marines are expected to begin their departure in about two weeks. Orders were sent today to transports now- at Newport News and Galveston-4o pro ceed to Vera Cruz to take the forces on board. The marines on duty at Vera Cruz will be sent back to the warships and stations from which they were taken and the troops will be sent to Texas City where the Second division is sta tioned. Formal orders for the withdrawal of the ships in Mexican waters will not be issued for several days.

Open I load to Budapest. London, Sept. 16. The Petrograd cor. respondent of the Exchange Telegram company quotes the military critic Michalowski as saying that Russia's victory during the past week over three Austrian armies ou the line from the Vistula to the Carpathians leaves the road to Budapest, along the northern base of the Carpathians, completely open. The first period of the war on the western frontier, he adds, thus ends. Russia Saved France. 1 'London, Sept. 16. Expert military observers in Petrograd have declared that the Russian investment of Koenigsberg, and General Rennen kampfs foray into East Prussia, were planned with the deliberate in tent of compelling Germany to detach some of her forces from France to the relief of her East Prussian fron tier. In Petrograd, military critics unite in characterizing this maneuver as brilliantly successful, so much so, in fact, that the salvation of the al lied forces in the west undoubtedly was due to Germany's having sent several of her best army corps to East Prussia. With this work e., parently accom plished, it is being predicted in Eng land today that the iussian forces in vesting Koenigsberg. together with General Rtnnenkamffs army, will be withdrawn from the Russian border.

A Good Horse Show. Topeka's first horse show in many years and the most pretentious enter tainment of the kind ever held in Kan sas was a brilliant affair on the occa sion of the opening Tuesday night. Horses of class among the best in the country fancy vehicles, excellent band and vocal music, elaborate electrical effects, and gay decorations, all went to make the show an unquaunea suc cess. While Miss Loula Long of Kansas City; who has exhibited her horses at the big shows of the country, was successful in winning a blue ribbon in three of the four events in which her horses were entered, she had plenty of real competition. Spring Maid, a horse owned by O. JV Mooers of Columbia, Mo, was given first place in competi tion with Miss- Long's horse. Illu mination, hi the--"Single harness event. The judge, B. R. Pemberton of Chi cago, who has been officiating at the great horse shows of the country for 10 years, was enthusiastic over the horses entered. No better horses are seen at any show in the world,' he said. J Twas a Society Event. The entertainment was a society event of no little importance. How ever, many of the women who occu pied boxes did not wear evening gowns because of the muddy condition of the grounds. All the ceremony of the big eastern shows was observed. O. P. Updegraff of Topeka was manager and coun sellor to Judge Pemberton. Dr. C. W. McCampbell of Manhattan was super intendent, v Event No. 1 on the program was open to roadsters in pairs stallions, mares or hidings paired to suit the exhibitor. Conformation, speed, style, quality end manners were par ticularly considered. First was taken by Miss Long's pair. Aspiration and Inspiration, while O. J. Mooers' Helen Idlewood and Mate took second hon ors. Black Satin and Woodrow Wil son, the property of R. L. Davis of Marshall, Mo., were given third place. Shetland' Pony Entry. The second event was for Shetland ponies -7 in harness four-in-hand. Ponies owned by Mrs. R. T. Kreipe of Topeka and Stewart and Welty of Ne vada, Iowa, were the only entries First place was taken by the latter, although Mrs. Kreipe's ponies made a good showing. Miss Long, who participated in the third event in person, was a popular winner. This was a class for ladles harness horses in pairs. Miss Long drove her pair, Revelation and Reali zation. In his place behind .her in the ladies' park phaeton, a groom bal anced himself, as- with the skill of a horsewoman who has had years of experience. Miss Long drove in the arena. Beside her were her Boston terriers. Mrs. O. a. Mooers, who also received much applause from the crowd of more than 3,000 present, was attended by a well built negro groom. This team Chocolate Sol dier and Spring Maid won second place, Miss Long winning first. Ed Moore of Columbia, Mo., took Arut in the five salted saddle horse class with his horse 'Majestic McDonald. Tammany, owned by J. C. Graves of In dependence, Mo., took second. Ben Rex, owned by Ed Moore, was tnira. The borses were required to walk, trot, canter and rack.

Her manners were not quite proper, but her style a-1 gait were adjudged excellent by the officials. The Fortune Hunter and Chocolate Soldier, both owned by Mooers. were given second and third places respectively.' DLUE UON DERBY Thirteenth Annul Kam Classic Fall of Interest. Mile In 1 1 44 on a Comparatively Soft Track. The white nose of Blue, owned by Albaugh Hunsecker of Creston, la.. and with Conner riding, was first under the wire with only a neck's length to spare in the fnwi Derby, the state's annual running classic, at the Kansas State Fair Tuesday afternoon,- Blue ran' the full mile on a soft track in one minute and forty four seconds, which is only three sec onds slower than the fastest- time made in the Derby in the 13 years it has been run, and five seconds faster than the time made by Night Mist, who won in 1912. A sensational burst of speed was made by Frank Fletcher, who in the last quarter came up from fifth po sition and was gaining at every jump when the wire was reached. Appar ently had Fletcher's jockey let loose his speed a second sooner than he did he would have won the race, for at the rate he was gaining on Blue at the finish he would have been ahead In another 50 feet. He finished second Just a neck behind Blue. Freeze took the lead at the start and held it until the drive down the stretch only to be overtaken by both Blue and Fletcher. There were seven starters for the purse of $400. Sultan, winner in 1909 finished fifth. The winners of the Kansas Derby to date are: 1902, Senator Watts, 1:44 3-4; 1903, G. W. Rowden, 1:45 Vt 1904.

After the race. Blue, the winner, was the only horse showing no signs of fatigue. At one point In the circle around which Blue was walked in being "cooled out" a view of the grandstand was afforded. Whenever this point was reached Blue insisted upon stopping and looking at the 2,600 people gathered to watch the races. In the four and one-half furlongs. Puck, owned by John Singleton of CofTeyville, won In 58 seconds with Pretty Dale second, and That's It third. The track record for this dis tance is 6714. Billy Knight was un ruly and after backing into the fence and attempting to unseat his jockey, stood sulking at the post when the word to go was given. There were five started in this event. "Chief Johnson of Oklahoma City, the veteran and popular jockey who has been riding horses twenty-five years, pulled down first money in the five-eighth mile with Little Birdie in 1:04. Mamie Ray was second and Stablia third. DIG BATTLE RESUMED. (Continued From Page One.) vers called for, cavalry training, on a targe scale for this very date. Whether the Germans purpose to fight to a finish at this point or plan merely to cover their retreat to the Me use is not clear, but the German commanders are showing the same skill in retreat and tn keeping their forces intact as the allies showed a fortnight ago. The German rush Into France and the movement back thus far have brought no decisive results and until a pitched battle on a huge scale la fought and won, neither side is in a position to claim that it has obtained more than the opening advantage In the war game. The allies, for the moment, have re trieved their perilous position and have turned the tables on the invaders but the next move is with the Germans whose armies are still in great force and on ground more or less selected by tnemselves. Little Help From Austria. The debacle for it seems nothing less in the Austrian axmy means that Ger many will have more and more to rely mainly upon nerself: hence there will be a greater interdependence of events in the eastern and western fields of operations. What -ew forces Germany can put into the campaign in the western area must henceforth depend in a great measure upon how far she can neglect ine Russian movement on Breslau. the capital of the Prussian province of siiesia, iso miles southeast of Berlin. According to reports today, Emperor wiiuam mmseit nan gone to East Prus sia to take chief command of the Ger man armies occupied by the Russian invaders. He may have gone there but little credit is attached to the assertion that he proposes to take active com mand out of the hands of a fighting general of the Caliber of Von Hinden berg. There is the usual diversity of n Ky regaining tne Austro Seivian operations. The Austrian con. eral staff claims to have driven the bci-ds out oz tne province of Banat and from the eastern district of Slavonia. The Servians, however, have shown a marked capacity for reappearing in the same or better positions after these de feats. They now claim tb barding the Hungarian town of Orsova.

If the men show superiority in the execution of the forward pass, we will undoubtedly use it; but no team can rely exclusively upon the pass unless the men are capable of executing it in a superior manner.' These were the words of Coach Gray, of the Washburn Ichabods, today whea asked whether or not he would foUow the lead of eastern institutions and spe cialize in the Notre Dame air innova tion. Coach Gray is neither pie nor peaches and cream for an interviewer. but his statement as given above dis closes more good, hard, common. Buck eye, football sense than the statement of any mentor who has told what he expects to do on the gridiron world cf sport this season. Eastern coaches from biar institutions have made pilgrimages to Chicago ano Notre Dame for the purpose of learning how the big Catholic eleven defearea Uncle Sam's boys last season by lor ward pass tactics, and how they ae- velonnd aforesaid tactics. These coaches have taken up the xorwara pass and intend to make it the feature of other teams this season. Gray's Rleht Idea. However, it is a safe prediction that the successful' generals of foot ball this year will be the ones wno follow Mr. Gray's plans and endeavor to get thebest results possible out of their material, with any tactics men- men excel in, be they anciently anti aua ted or ultra-modern. Mr. Gray should be as capable oi Judging the merits of the forward pass as any coach in the west. -Hav ing been, a successful basket ball player at Oberlin, he should be able to make an accurate estimate of Just how much basket ball material he has in his eleven. And, after all, the for ward pass is nothing more than an in corporation of the fundamental fea ture of basket ball. Tuesday afternoon Coach Gray saw a part of his men work for the nrst time this season, and seemed fairly well pleased with the prospects. Ow ing to the fact that Tuesday was reg istration day, many of the men did not get out. Also, the big fair is of fering legitimate interference this week, but actual scrimmage work will begin next week, and. the team will be whipped into shape at once for the Nebraska game -at Lincoln oar" Octo ber 3. Average at 165. Among the old warriors who ap peared on the field for practice Tues day afternoon were the Whitcomb brothers, two of Topeka's contribu tions to the team, and two all around good men. Faye Troy, a freshman player from Little River, also report ed and will don his uniform this afternoon. Coach Gray expects his team to average 165 or better this year, and with a full line of old guards to start with, everything is in his favor for a championship season. Some coaches, both in the east and the west, have, on the other hand, de clared that the forward pass is a dan gerous and wholly unreliable tactic, and have stated that they will stick to tne "straight kicking" game this sea son. Among these latter is Mr. Wheat- on, the new Kansas university coach, who has undertaken to bring the K. IT. eleven out of the kinks. The Old Guard men who are certain to be back in the linup are: Captain Trobert, Billings, Villipigue, Bob and Dick Whitcomb, Wolfe and Barrett Rogers, Smith and Forbes will not be back, and Bearg and Bales are still cruising on the River of Doubt Among the new men who are eligible and who will try out for the team are: Stewart, Chapney, Markham and a number of others who have not yet reported. In all, about 40 men are expected to be out before the end of the week. Of course, the big game that Tope- kans are interested in is the one with Kansas university. This game will be played here on November 7, and it is not improbable that the state honors will be decided on that date. The other big games on the Ichabod schedule are those with Nebraska and the Kansas "Aggies" on October 3 and November 25 respectively. Next Saturday week the team will line up against the freshmen for the Wilson; J first score game of the season. Baker university will come here on October 10. and the Blues will play Warrens. burg Normal at Warrensburg, Mo., on October 16. On October 24 the College of Emporia will play in Topeka and on October 31 the Ichabods will Journey to Emporia to meet the Kansas Normal of that place. Forty Men Have Drawn Suits in Coach Lawman's Farmer Camp. Manhattan, Kan.', Sept 16. With over forty men in camp Aggie football stock is commencing to boom. Of the men who have already reported to Coach Lowman, about one-third were members of last year's squad, others were on the scrub last year and the rest are new material. The rest of the varsity squad are expected here before the week is over. Captain Agnew, the clever and speedy halfback, is here. So are Mar ble, Enns, Hartwig, Hauke. Scanlon and Skinner. It was planned to have the squad on the field Tuesday after noon, but the ground was too muddy. "AGGIES" ARB MOBILIZING. OFFgis a navAia.

The State Journal la a member of the Associated press and receives the luu aay telegrap report of that great news or ganization for the' exclusive afternoon puDUcation in Topexa. The newa la received In The State Joup- aal building over wlrea for this aole pur In the matter of broken promises. the weather man in these parts seems to have no rival. That twelve months' famine which is faced by millions of Chinamen, because Of recent floods, is equally as terrible. If ndt more so, than any of the ravages of war. About the only gleam of silver that can be seen in the clouds that have cast their shadows and their water as well on the Topeka fair, is that there won't be any dust to annoy the visitors at the fair grounds. All of the prominent English prize fighters are doing service either in the British army or navy. Citizen Jack Johnson of France is busy with his vaudeville engagements and arrange ments for future glove contests. Peace talk is not popular in Eng land, where the disposition Is not to end. the war until the spirit of militar ism has been wiped off the map of Europe. And if such a thing can be brought about the war may better be continued to that end. According to the treaties that Mr. Bryan has promulgated, the United States is at peace with a billion peo ple. But the European war has dem onstrated pretty conclusively that .treaties and conventions between na tions are not worth the paper on which they are written. Although the pay Is only three dol lars per day, the men who get elected to the Kansas legislature are strong for 'coming back" if possible. No less than half of the members of the last house are candidates for re-election. There's a lot of fun, however, in mak ing laws for the other fellow. Something righteous in the filibuster line Is the one that is' being waged in the senate against the rivers and har- tors appropriation bill. Much of the "pork" in it is so rank and rotten that It's a wonder some of the members of 1 congress who have their noses in the barrel are not overcome with the fumes therefrom. A horse famine is scheduled for this country and Canada as one of the re sults of the European war. Still it won't bear as heavily on the bulk of the people as such a famine would on the citizens of France, where horse flesh is the poor man's meat, and where it is sold as regularly in the butcher shops as pork and beef are here. As in the past, so in the present. The fruits of the activity of the Progressive party are Democratic victories. In the recent state election in Maine, the Re publican rote was increased a full 125 per cent over what it was two years ago in the presidential election. Yet the Progressives polled enough votes to make this gain count for naught and a Democratic success certain. If, as is reported, Kaiser Wllhelm is in a mood to listen to peace proposals. It can only mean that he has reached the conclusion that his plans to over whelm France are not possible of ac complishment. There is little likeli hood that he would give peace a thought as long as there was the lightest chance in that direction. Evidently the slaughter in the great European war has not been as exten sive as unofficial reports have indi cated. According to the dispatches from Berlin, the German casualties, in cluding killed, wounded and missing, Are placed at 25,239. But it is possible that the German authorities are not making public all the information of this sort that is in their possession. Folk who are complaining on the high cost of living here, "because of the war," might get some consolation by taking a squint at the prices of foodstuffs in Hamburg. Eggs are selling there, for instance, at $2.50 a dozen. But it is not the high prices for food themselves that the people here are kicking so much- about. It is the unreasonableness of them that arouses the ire of the multitudes. And well it may. Except for the few food products that are imported in any quantities there is no good reason why the war should have caused any ma terlal advances in the prices of food stuffs in this country. Avarice and greed on the part of the men and speculators who control the markets are the real reasons for them. CARING FOR THE TEACHER. At rural conferences in several states this summer the teacher's boarding place was discussed as one of the most perplexing of rural school problems, according to a bulletin Is sued by the United States bureau of education. Too often the rural teach. er finds it almost impossible to secure (It boarding accommodations. WelL- qualified teachers will not stay in a place where boarding conditions are poor; they will stay only until they have attained the teaching experience required to qualify them for village or city school work. As a rule, commun ities which provide congenial living conditions secure and hold good teach ers, while those not doing so must take the poorer teachers, with the re sult that their schools are inefficient and ineffective and -that the children do not acquire the interest in the school work that they should and might. At this time of the year, there fore,' county superintendents should set the machinery in motion to see that the beet home in their district is obtained for a boarding place for the teacher. In order to do her best work and to make the school the vital fac tor in the community that it should be, the teacher must live in the school district and not Journey back and forth from the neighboring town or city either daily or on Monday morn ing to' return" to the city again on Friday afternoon. In a certain district in one of the states of the middle west the teacher engaged was unable to find a single family that would furnish her with board and room. She resigned and contracted for a school In a neighbor ing district, where she easily secured a good boarding place. The school trustees in the district where she re signed preferred charges against her and asked the county superintendent to revoke her certificate. His decision, however, was in favpr of the teacher and he notified the board that an other teacher would not be sent to their district until the best home was opened to her as a boarding place. In a certain district in one of the northwestern states the teacher writes in regard to her boarding place that she had no privacy. She had her meals at" the same table with the fa ther and mother and eight children In the family, and spent the evening pre. paring herself for her next day's work in the common living room.- She did not object particularly to this, but added that "I do object, however, to sharing at night the common sleeping room with the family of ten."- A county superintendent at a con ference in one of the southern states reported during the past summer that the only place open as a boarding place for one of his teachers was in a home where the husband was living with his second wife and the wife her sec ond husband. In this home were five children from the father's first mar riage, six from the mother's first mar riage, and five from their second mar riage. There were more children .In this home than the teacher had In her school, and while the parents were generally in harmony, there was no general agreement among the three sets of children. The teacher was forced to resort to the schoolhouse for privacy in her studies. A New England teacher reports her experience: She went to the com munity where she was to teach one week before school was to open. She intended to spend one day in arrang ing for a boarding place; she spent the week, however. The community had many good homes, any of which were willing to keep her for one night, but none of which wanted the teacher as a regular boarder. By the end of the week she had become personally acquainted with every family in the community, but had not secured a boarding place. She returned to her home and notified the chairman of the school board that she would re port for duty as soon as word was received from him that a boarding place was arranged for. Word came promptly. The teacher was unusually successful as a teacher, undoubtedly due in part to the fact that she had become personally acquainted with all of her school patrons before school opened. In many instances in all sections of the country there is another condition: A district where some woman of the gossiping type wants to board the teacher for the sake of the Informa tion concerning the children which a Bharp woman of this type Is apt to get from her. No prudent teacher will want to live under such conditions. The question of the rural teacher's boarding place is a serious one and de serves serious consideration. The best home in the district should throw its door wide open and bid the teacher welcome. The beet home is none too good for the teacher whose heart and soul is in her work. In many states now there are county superintendents who make it as much a part of their work to find the teacher a fit boarding place as to find the teacher for the school. Many good patrons will refuse an application for board from the teacher herself, who would consider it a signal honor to be diplomatically so licited by the county superintendent in behalf of the teacher. Either the best homes must be opened as board ing places or cottages must be built at public expense for homes for the teacher. WHEN MIDDLE AGE BEGINS. In the October Woman's Home Com panion .Ralph Waldo Trine writes an article entitled "When Is Youth What After Youth?" The principal point which he brings out is the power of the mind to keep the body young and vigorous. In the following extract from his article he touches on this point and also indicates the divisions between youth, middle age and old age: "That we have it in our power to determine our physical and bodily con ditions te a far greater extent than we do. la an undeniable fact, That: we have if in our power to determine and to dictate the conditions of 'old age' to a marvelous degree is also an un deniable fact If we are sufficiently keen and sufficiently awake to begin early enough. "IfNany arbitrary divisions of the various periods of life were allowable. I should make the enumeration as fol lows: Youth, barring the period of babyhood, to forty-five; middle age. forty-five to sixty approaching age. sixty to seventy-five; old age, seventy, five to ninety-five and a hundred. "That great army of people who 'age' long before their time, that like Wise great army of both men and women who along about middle age. aay from forty-five to sixty, break and, as we say, all of a sudden go to pieces, and maay die. just at the period when they should be In the prime of life. In the full vigor of manhood and woman. hood and of greatest value to them selves, to their families, and to the world, is something that is contrary to nature, and is one of the pitiable conditions of our time. A great knowl edge, a little foresight, a little care in time could prevent this in the great majority of cases, in ninety cases out of every one hundred, without ques tion." Journal Entries Innocence is admirable except when it's affected. Few troubles are as large as they look in the distance. Most of the wisdom worth while Is acquired only through experience. A few well-directed prayers for more domestic peace might net be amiss. The sudden advent of late fall weather i- also another jolt for fath er. The millinery bills will be coming in a month earlier than usual. J ay hawker Jots One puzzle hard to solve, says the Harper Sentinel, is how anybody should ever have named those mild-eyed creatures, Belgian hares. According to the Marquette corre spondent of the McPherson Democrat Opinion, the only competitor the birth rate, has in that community is the num ber 'of bushels of wheat to the acre. Told by the Marquette Tribune: A Dutchman woke up in the night, smelled a skunk and tried to waken his wife. Failing, he said: "Mein Gott, haf I got to schmell It all alone?" Gib Childers has a deep disgust for the manufacturers of patent medicine, says the Howard Courant. "They spoil too much tolerably good booze with their tinkerin' and experimentin' around," says Gib. A report from Marysvllle stated that a turkey gobbler in that vicinity sat on a nest of eggs until they hatched. And the Arkansas City Traveler tenders its sincere thanks to the sender of the dis patch because he refrained from an nouncing that the gobbler laid the eggs A Great Bend little miss who Just couldn't go to sleep the other night asked her mother to tell her a fairy story to put her to sleep, relates the Great Bend Tribune. "We will wait a little while," said the mother, "and your papa will be home. He will tell us both one." "Little Belgium can give the United States pointers in regard to some things all right,' writes Robert Good of the Cawker City Ledger. "For instance, if a qualified voter in Belgium falls to at tend an election and cast a ballot, un less he can present an excuse valid in law, he is arrested and punished on a misdemeanor charge. Something of that sort should be tried here. The in difference of voters at primary and general elections is the most serious menace that popular government has to fear and that Indifference has grown to tremendous, proportions of late years." It doesn't take any seer, thinks the Newton Kansan-Republlcan, to see that dollar wheat is going to boom trade for the automobile dealers. Globe Sight BY TBI ATCHISON GLOBS. No home is so small there isn't room in It for an argument. It isn't as a rule, the trouble yon are looking for that happens. Some patriots are such aa a means of evading regular employment. No matter what a man's salary may be, ma wile reeis sne earns n au. A very common mistake is to confuse your judgment with your prejuaice. Harvesting Old Rye and sowing wild oats are sometimes a simultaneous per formance. A lot of men who aren't married think the czar is about the only despot still on the job. After a larse wheat field is harvested. a husky farmer usually feels able toworry about the corn crop. A good prize fighter follows up his lead. That is also what a business man must do, or take the count. There are comparatively few motorcycle accidents, considerng the amount or hard luck- people wish on those violent vehicles. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia. Record. When everything else fails, some fel lows go to work. To be good company for himself a man must be more or less an egotist. Many a man has capital ideas who hasn't much capital to carry them out. As a ruts a fellow doesn't mind being a dead one when he is dead in love. Silence is golden, so after all perhaps it isn't so bad to suffer in silence. No news is good news, but in spite of the press censor it doesn't make war news. Money talks, so it's no. wonder the millionaire is so often a man of few words. The convict may write a free, run ning hand, but be would rather have a free, running foot. The best way for a woman to manage her husband is let him think he is hav ing his -own way. Some people are so deceitful that they will actually talk about themselves be hind their own necks.

Evening Chat BY RUTH CAMERON. Something to Tell About. "It is ever so nice of you to take me. It was a lovely ride and it will give me something to write home about." So my neighbor's visitor, whom I had the pleasure of entertaining one afternoon, thanked me; and I smiled Inwardly at her naively frank phrasing of a feeling which enters so largely in to most of our pleasures. For though few of us are so frank about it, even to ourselves, the thought that thls is something that we can write or tell others about gives us a large part of our enjoyment of various pleasures. If people were permitted to go to Europe only on the condition that they should not write a single post card or letter during the whole trip, should never mention it afterwards, never say, "When I was in Europe." I think that half of the tourists who now make the grand tour would stay right at home. Not write post cards indeed! It is unthinkable. The souvenir post card has been the most delightful outlet ever Invented for this age-old feeling. When souvenir cards first crept into existence and were comparatively rare. we hunted up the picture of some famous spot which we had seen and sent it to envious friends with the im pressive information, "Saw this today. Wish you were here." Then souvenir cards became more common and we had the still greater pleasure of send ing a picture of our notei to the stay-at-home with our room marked with an X. And when the finished-while- yon-wait picture post cards of one self with some famous spot, Ply mouth Kock or the Blarney stone, for a background, proving beyond controversion that" we had actually "been there," came into being, that was the last refinement. The future may hold something better than this but it is hard to imagine what it may be The thought of telling one's friends about it afterwards will give zest not only to the pleasant but even to the disagreeable experience, providing only it can be made to sound alluring in the telling. Once upon a time a party of tour ists left the beautiful southern seaport at which they were stopping and spent a day travelling inward to see a big cocoa plantation. They chose an un usually hot day and came back, hot, dusky, dishevelled and tired with the utter exhaustion that such a trip breeds. "Did you have a good time?" asked the hotel clerk as they stopped for their keys. They expressed' their dlsgruntle- ment "Never mind." said the hotel clerk. who was something of a human nature student, "never mind; when you go home, and someone serves yon a cup of cocoa you can say. 'I've been where the beans that make this stuff grow and picked them off the trees;' Which was after all Just the reason most of those people had taken that: excursion. s If one were "ever tempted to envy Adam and Eve their Eden one, should recall one terrll4 d raw back. t here was no one to whom they could either write or tell what a good time they were having!

"Do you mind very much if I come in?" Holt sat .up. He had been sound asleep on the couch ever since dinner. It. had been a good dinner, too, fresh caught rainbow trout from the moun tain brook that rambled just below the cabin. The cabin itself, was most untidy. Walt had been gone tour day. His easel still stood before the north window, with a half-finished oil on it ot the Speartooth crag backed up against one of Walt's best amethyr '.Ine -sunsets. Canvases stood against the wall. Paint tubes and water color boxes lay care lessly about. And the dinner dishes lay unwashed on the table. It was no time for callers, and yet the shadow of one lay on the threshold of this sanctum of bachelor hermits, and the shadow was feminine. "I do hope we're not disturbing you?" This time the tone seemed tinged with regret. Oh. not at all, not at all," called Holt, blindly. "Come right in." He stood up, hitching at his belt, and then he smiled. For the girl standing there in the patch of afternoon sunlight was the same girl he had seen in the automobile that morning when he bad gathered in his rainbow trophies from the brook. He had caught the humming of the motor and turned, but not in time to see her face, only her headV ana tne back of It at that, but it had mass of fluffy, tawny hair. He called it tawny himself. Raw gold' it seemed. tawny, like some mountain lionesa Now he saw that her eyes were brown. and he approved the contrast. "We've climbed all the way up from me notei just to see your pictures, Mr. Meredith," she smiled at him frankly, holding out her hand. "I suppose you are bothered terribly with climbers, but i naa to come. I am persis Owen, and I love your wonderful pictures of the mountains, v Holt took the hand and bowed over it. Walt was on his way to Chicago for an exniDition. wait was a bear with women anyhow. Never would he have known how to handle this situation. The gods were in a smiling mood, and oarexaceaiy Holt took advantage of It. He showed all the canvases, and dis coursed on them. He found the weary little old aunt out under the big pine and chatted with her until she beamed on him. He dug out some tea, and Persis helped make it. Lastly he walked down to the hotel with them in the cool of the late afternoon and made several appointments. No, he was not so busy then, he assured them. In fact. ne naa nnisnea nearly all or us paint lngs for the time being.

She'll probably only stay a week, and, by my faith, she is tne sweetest lady mine eyes have looKea on.- He leaned back his head and laughed, drawing deep breaths ot the mountain air. it was t. joke on old Walt, taking tne nomage tor tus daubs. He hoped the joke would not turn around the other way. The eyes of Persis were ruu oz raitn. So. for two weeks he was the hermit artist ot speartooth mountain. Persis and her aunt came often, sometimes In the car, sometimes on foot. And It seemed to Holt that he was watching tne unfolding of a flower. Slender, vivid, full of rare changing moods, she shaped herself into the girl of his dreams, and he "knew he loved her. Then came a day r.hen she brought up her ratner to see him and his painting old Hcbart Owen, who had made his money out of a new kink In breakfast foods. Before his shrewd, twinkllna- eves Holt felt his first qualms. I want to have a talk with you." the old man said later as they strolled up tne trail together. "I'm a blunt men and find the shortest way around is straignt through the middle. You are in love with my girl, aren't your "Yes, sir." Holt's face was a oit white under the tan.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. I From the Chicago Newa It's easy for some men to drink hard. Occasionally a man does a good deed by mistake. Few men smoke for the sole purpose of burning their money. The chronic InvaUd is a blessing to the doctor who needs the money. Gossip is what others say about you: what you say about others is news.

F0R BY THE INQPISriTVE GOBLIN. Goblins, as a rule, do not have namea but this goblin I am going to tell you aoout naa a name, and there was reason for it. also. His brother goblins had named him Yeson. and if you will snell Yeaon backward you will learn 'the reason for this queer name. Goblin Yeson wanted to know about everything he saw and some ne ata not see. One day Yeson wandered away from the other goblins and went f.own by the river, and while he stood on the bank a fish came up to the surface of the water. When hi saw Yeson he began to laugh. "What are you laughing at?" asked Yeson. "You." answered the fish. "My. but you are a funny looking little creat ure." Well, you better take a look In a mirror and see yourself." said Yeson: "you are pretty funny yourself." Be that as It may." reolled the good natured fish, "do tell me where you live? I never before have seen such a small creature." I'll tell you if you will tell me where you live." said Yeson. for he' was becoming curious about this creat ure that could stay so long in the water. I live m the water, and under it most of the time," answered the fish. "I should not care to live all the tln In the water," said Yeson. Oh! yes you would, if you could see our beautiful home." said the fish "Why don't you come to the bottom cf the ocean with me and see for your self?" I should like to very much." an. swered the Inquisitive Yeson. "but I am afraid I might drown." -on, no you wouldn't." answered the fish; "I'll get the dogfish to come up for you: wait hews"- be amid, and dis appeared. Yeson did not know' whether be had better run or stay and see all the won ders the fish had told hbn about, but war sTCBSi "MADE IN AMERICA." A card appears in thev .window of each store operated -by the United Ci gar Stores company, reading: .'EVERY. UNEMPLOYED WORK MAN CAN GO TO WORK XT YOtJ BUY 'MADE IN AMERICA' GOODS." This is worth thinking about. Make the slogan "Made in America" o nonulan that it will voice the uni versal demand, ana ithe result would be absolutely continuous prosperity m this country. And it is worth while to remember also-that the local appli cation of that slogan would be mm ad vantageous to your home community as its general practice would be to the country at large. Buy at home every thing you. can get at heme not for getting your blank books and printed matter of all aorta!! and you would be surprised how many more people would be able to find employment In the old home town, and how much more prosperous it would be. Iola Register. CONVERSATION SCAT RETURN. In th) more spacious times of yore, conversation and letter writing took their places among the arts. .Leisure and thought were devoted to them, as among the more agreeable occupa tions of those times. We like to read the old "table talks," the. carefully written and neatly phrased letters and the conversations of persons of gen teel leisure of the eighteenth and ear lier centuries. Without them our lit erature would be singularly bereft. But In these degenerate days the old art of quiet, leisurely conversa tion has passed away. We are In a rapid-fire era. In which one gentle man is not satisfied to shoot another with a -single pistol bullet or one let ter,' but must mow him and his friends down with a volley of books, or with a rapid-fire arm that squirts bullets as a hose sprays -water. It la a waste of time to talk to one appre ciative Boswell even, a man must ad dress i..-e thousand Boswells in the largest auditorium obtainable. Oth erwise; is not. the best of conversa tion somewhat wasted? The rapid-fire plan is so unpleasant a phase of life that in the nature of things the mental attitude that calm for It must change enough to permit something of the old conversation and the old letter writing of a more lei surely period to find their way back again. Do we not even now feel some of the desire for the familiar friend to whom we may leisurely listen with out the necessity of much or any reply- We are going back to the charm of the old open fire, even where the house is superheated by steam. "The open fire" in letters and conversation' will come back. If It is not already warming the cold hearts of the pub lishers. And so In the very presence of the speeding automobile and the moving picture show, where conversa tion, is clearly Impossible, we are somenow cneered and strengthened. We take heart of grace. Conversa tion will come back! Minneapolis MRS. KAYALKER while he was thinking the fish came back and with him was a much larger one. "Come close to the water." said the first fish, and Yeson walked slowly to the edge of the bank and quick is a flash the dogfish opened his mouth and drew in his breath as though ne was drinking, and In went Yeson, ind all was dark. Then he seemed to plunge a long distance, and then fult a queer sensation, and he was standing on the bottom of the ocean. The dog fish had onetijuf Hl mmiK i.. w.

Today and tomorrow Topekans will have an opportunity of witnessing a remarkable play and a remarkable actress in motion pictures at the Iris. Henrietta Crosman. one of the most distinguished stars of the contem porary stage, makes her first appear ance in motion pictures in the great emotional drama of mother-love and sacrifice. The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch." By an odd coincidence. Miss Crosman began her stage career un der the management of Daniel Froh- j man, under whose guidance she also makes her debut before the motion picture camera. In "The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch" Miss Crosman plays the title role, that of the wronged wife and exile mother, who is forced to let her only child be reared without knowledge of her real mother's exist ence. How the othesi woman is Justly punished, the cruel husband humbled, and mother and child at last united is dramatically unfolded in the unusually artistic development of this powerful photoplay.

These banks are displaying samples of corn, millet, cane, milo maize, feterita, fruit and sweet potatoes as raised in Shawnee county that would be a credit to any state fair. These samples of corn were raised in the bottoms and in the uplands. A comparison gives the in terested people a chance to note the difference in the productiveness ot both kinds of land. They have e ihibits of samples which were raised in an parts of the north part of the county. On the list is feterita by William Lockenour, who lives on a farm one mile north of Menoken, corn by W. D. Pendleton, C. O. Brown. F. G. Lange, E. E- Pal mer and son, Dick Hodgins,- Mark Blackler, Will Hudson of near Meri den, L. Stanley, and a number of others. William Lockenour and T. H. Kas terday of Elmont are the only men who have brought in samples of fete rita. L'hese exhibits are more interesting as the farmers who live within the trade territory of Xorth Topeka will i see similar samples at the various grange fairs and many of them have exhibits at the state fair. Mark Blackler is showing some samples of white and yellow corn raised on upland soil, almost equal to the samples of others which have been raised "on the bottom lands, i Dick Hodgins is showing fine white corn raised at Sli er Lake. Will Hud I son of near Meriden also is showing good samples of white corn raised on the- uplands. Raise Feterita in Shawnee Coanty. William Lockenour and T. H. Eas terday. who live near Elmont. are two Shawnee county farmers who are ex perimenting with feterita, and up to the present time, they are highly 1 pleased with the results. Mr. Locke nour first saw feterita growing two years ago and this season he planted a tract of two acres to experiment and to iaise feed for his chickens He is 'highly pleased with the result as the production has been much more than he expected. The crop was not affect ied by the drouth this year and he 'estimates the -jroduction to be double' i that of Kaffir com. j Ted Easterdy of Elmont also Is ex perimenting. He planted- some on soil this year that he considered low I grade but the results1 Sav been highly satisfactory.
