Sioux City, Iowa. June 19. Dem ocrats of this section were greatly surprised when Richard L. Metcalfe, former right hand man of William J. Bryan, and formerly editor of the Commoner, in a signed editorial in his own paper today read Bryan out of the Democratic rarty and predicted Senator Hitchcock will control the federal patronage in Nebraska. Through influence of Bryan, Met calfe was givon one of the best jobs at the disposal of the administration at a salary of $14,500. When con gress abolished the position Metcalfe returned and ran for governor of Ne braska. Metcalfe and Hitchcock have been bitter political enemies, but appear to have healed up the breach. FREAKS OF BIG STORM IN WHICH DEATH LOSES Many stories of narrow escapes came in as telegraphic communica tion became better in the area af fected. At Goltry. Ok., J. K. John son and Volney Kraft, farmers, led their families into caves at the ap proach or a small tornado and saved their lives, the homes of both families being: demolished. The stone house of Melvin Pipkin was blown over while Pipkin and his wife were within. lioth es caped with bruises. Mrs. Clyde Carwood was carried from "her home into a wheat field a mile away and escaped with slight in juries. B. E. Bowen. a farmer, suffered a fractured skull when a dwelling was blown in upon him. He will live. Sixty-five cars were blown from the 'Frisco tracks In the yards at Fort Scott, Kan. One was a work train in which track laborers were living. Three were injured. The home of J. T. Wood was blown over intact, carrying the occupants with it.. Xo one was hurt.

May Help Topeka The situation mav ease up at To peka somewhat late today because of the break in the Sliver LaKe levee, ac cording to "Sunny" Flora. If the wat er should go over the dikes at Ross ville and St. Marys it would also tend to help some here. Local transfer companies reported this afternoon that some of the more timidly inclined had been moving out of North Topeka today as was the case last week when the Kaw began to rise. Big Rain at Junction City. A telegram from H. E. Montgomery at Junction City received this after noon reads: "Two and one-quarter inches of rain fell here within a half hour this morn ing flooding the streets. Hundreds of people were late to work.

S. City might expect a flood as big as that of 1908. "There is no telliner how high the rivers will get," said Connor. "How ever, there no longer is time for de lay on the part of residents in the East and West bottoms. They are go ing to get high water in two or three days that will flood them out unless they move right away to second stories." K. C. District Menaced. The districts affected by Connor's warning are in sections of the city ad joining the banks of the Kansas and the Missouri rivers, which, because of recent rains, are rising rapidly. Most of the foreign laborers em ployed at the packing houses live in the West bottoms, the district which contains many of the big wholesale houses, and this morning hundreds of clerks were engaged in carrying goods from basements and first floors to higher stories.

Union Pacific Trains Come in Over R. I. Tracks. Union Pacific connection remained unchanged today and all trains are being detoured from Manhr.ttan over the Rock Island. On account of further rains, the work of repairing the trouble at Belvue and other points along the line could not go on last night. The conductor on No. 120, from Manhattan, this morning reports that the Blue river is rising 6 inches an hour. However, it will take a tre mendous rainfall along that stream to keep up that increase much longer. At Grove, the conductor talked with NAVY'S GREATEST BATTLER LAUNCHED TODAY Arizona. the agent, who reports that Soldier creek fell fou& feet since the high mark of Friday.- However two inches of rain is reported since 7 o'clock this morning at Grove and 9:30 a. m. it was still falling. The reports brought to Topeka show heavy rains all along the Kaw valley. So far, no more washouts have been reported. The Rock Island reports heavy rain fall today at Manhattan and Clay Center, with water standing in the streets at both places. The Rock Is land has had no difficulty whatever with washouts. Trains are running behind schedule on account of the soft tracks. Wire communication with the northwest was broken off at 5:30 a. m. The Santa Fe reports no damage whatever, except the soft tracks which necessitates slow movement of traf fic. The Burlington branch, which was out of commission Friday, has been repaired. Rock Island train No. 40 from Col orado, due at Topeka at 7:30 this morning, is being held at Cuba, Kan., on account of flood conditions. Water Standing in Field. With water standing in many of the wheat fields of Kansas, the prospects are slight for an immediate harvest of the grain. Reports from over the state say that growing corn is being damaged by the heavy rains. When asked about any probability of the wheat crop's being seriously damaged by the water, J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Santa Fe railway, replied today: "I am unable to say anything defi nitely about the matter." Both the Rock Island and the Santa Fe report that In the lowlands, many of the fields are regular, lakes. The fields on the hillsides are not endan gered in this respect, but a continuous rain will have a bad effect upon the harvest. The farmers are looking anxious over the prospects, as are the railroad companies. U-29SUNKBYTANK Polite Pirate Victim of His Own Humane Heart. Sent to Bottom Asking British to Show Papers. Berlin, June 19. A British tank steamer flying the Swedish flag ram med and sank the German submarine U-29, whose loss was admitted sev eral weeks ago, the admiralty an nounced today. The XJ-2 9 was commanded by Otto Weddingen, German U-boat hero, who won from the British the title of "the polite pirate," because of the consid eration he displayed to crews of tor pedoed merchantmen. The admiral ty's statement today declared that Weddingen's humane treatment of merchant seamen undoubtedly cost him and his crew their lives. Weddingen ordered the tank steam er to stop and shew its papers, the ad miralty stated. Taking advantage of this delay, the British steamer rammed and sank the submarine. "This is sure proof of the British abuse of neutral flags," said one of the Berlin newspapers. "This illegal atti tude of British trade ships has com pelled German submarine command ers to consider their own safety first and torpedo such vessels without warning "A change of German submarine warfare is impossible without Eng land changing her uncivilized methods." NEV$15,000,000 OCEAN BATTLER TAKESTOWATER Fifty Thousand Persons See Launching of Arizona. Champagne Splashed on Bows of Greatest Leviathan. IS BUILT TOJIVE AND TAKE Famous Oregon Type Dwarfed by Latest Monster. Guns Shoot Thirteen Miles in Almost Perfect Circle. Washington, June 19. Another fif teen million dollar battleship was launched for the American navy to day when the superdreadnaught Arizona slid into the water at the New York navy yard. She is a sister ship to the Pennsylvania, recentlj launched at Newport News, and in size and armament one of the largest and most powerful craft ever built for any navy. Fifty thousand persons gathered at the. New -York navy yard to see the launching of the monster battleship. Despite the efforts of those whf would have the vessel christened with water, a bottle of champagne home grown was smashed against her flare bows as the great hull began its long glide down the ways. Miss Esther Ross of Prescott, Ariz., acted as the sponsor. Built for Punishment. Ships of the line, like the Arizona, are built to give and receive punish ment in sea battles. Their mission has little in common with that of the battle cruisers which have been the largest ships to engage each other during the European war.

Frank would receive a commutation of sentence from death to life imprisonment were freely made on the streets today. It eeems to be the unanimous opinion that the gov ernor will grant clemency. Frank himself wears an air of as surance, and the special turnkeys as signed to his cell say that he constant ly assures visitors that he is confi dent of commutation. Governor Slaton today continued his exhaustive study of the case. He said he probably would not be pre pared to announce his decision on Frank's application for commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment until Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. Governor Slaton said posi tively there would be no respite, but that by Tuesday he will decide either to commute the sentence or to decline to interfere. "The judgment of the court," said the governor, "should cause the pris oner to prepare for death. In the event my decision should be adverse he has had ample time to make preparation." City Officials Under Arrest. Nashville, Tenn., June 19. City Commissioner Lyle Andrews and Comptroller Miles Burns are under arrest here on warrants charging them with removing records from the comptroller's office. Both gave bond and were released. KAISER'S DREAM OF EMPIRE; EARLY PEACE; HIT LATER! Paris, June 19. Extracts from a letter, said to have been sent by the German emperor to a person age connected with the Bavarian court and published in Spain, are reproduced by the Matin. The em peror is quoted as saying: "Our only object is a peace prof itable for the German states. Tills peace may be concluded sooner than thought. If it gave for the time being only an incomplete re suit, it would at least serve as a preparation for the future. it could be signed tomorrow, if I wished. "When my august grandfather placed the empire on its present basis he did not pretend to have realized a completed work. The empire always is susceptible of growth. What can not be achieved today will be achieved later." 4 BERRY DAMAGE SUIT TOREOPEN Famous Case Will Be Tried at Goodland Monday. Grows Out of the Killing of Burchard B. Berry. CHAUNCEY DEWEY DEFENDANT Claim for $10,000 Made by Berry's Heirs. Charge Millionaire Cattle Man With Responsibility. Another episode of the famous legal feud and litigation of the administra tors of the Berry ranch estate against Chauncey Dewey, millionaire ranch man of western Kansas, and eleven of his cowboys, will be enacted in the Goodland district court before Judge W. S. Langmade of the northwestern district court of Kansas when the damage suit for $10,000 for the death of Burchard B. Berry in 1908 will open Monday morning, June 21. The suit is the outgrowth of the killing of D. P. Berry, A. W. and B. B. Berry and the injury of Roy Berry, ranchman of Cheyenn county in -1903, wlrei ,he ranch wars.'of western Kan sas were at their height. Chauncey Dewey, a neighboring rancher, and eleven of. his cowboys, were charged with the murder and arrested. The shooting took place just across the Rawlins county line iu Cheyenne county. Dewey and his men were ac quitted of the charge by a Jury. In 1905 damage suits for the death of D. P. Berry, A. W. Berry and the injury of Roy Berry for $10,000 each were filed by the administrators of the Berry estate. A few years later a damage suit for $10,000 for the death of Burchard B. Berry was filed. It is the latter case which will open Monday In the Goodland district court. Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, and General L. W. Colby of Beatrice, Neb., will represent the Berry administrators. History of the Case. Harriet M. Berry, administratrix for the Berry estate, is named as plaintiff in the suit which will open Monday morning. The Berry killing and the Dewey Berry litigation following is one of the most famous cases of its kind that Kansas has ever known. Shortly after the first damage suits for $10,000 were filed a lawyer appeared in the Good land courts and filed an agreement to settle the suits on the part of Chauncey Dewey. The lawyer claimed to repre sent Dewey. A short time after this the damage suit for the death of Richard Berry was filed. Then, Chauncey Dewey, contending that the lawyer did not have his authority to file the agree ment of settlement, filed petition for injunction against the carrying out of the agreement. The petition for in junction was filed in federal court on grounds that the rederal court had Jurisdiction over state courts. For years the injunction suit lay dormant In the court at Topeka. Last year the Berry administrators came to Topeka and retained Robertson and General Colby to try the case. In an opinion handed down in the case a few weeks ago by Judge John C. Pollock of the Kansas federal court the Berry administrators were favor ed. Judge Pollock held that federal courts should not conflict in jurisdic tion with state courts. Chauncey Dewey now lives in Chi cago. He owns a ranch one of the largest in the state near Junction City. In the last few years he has paid occasional visits to Kansas. Fred Robertson, attorney for the Berrys, will leave for Goodland to morrow. MULRQY PUSHED OUT. Governor Capper Appoints L. A. Cong don Hotel Commissioner. Governor Capper today appointed L. A. Congdon, chief of the state divi sion of foods and drugs, as state hotel commissioner. Mr. Congdon suc ceeds Miles Mulroy, whose office was abolished by the governor recently un til such time as its fees would make it self sustaining. After Muiroy's resignation had been announced he refused to vacate the office on the ground that the governor had no power to abolish arbitrarily an office created by legislative enact ment and said that he should hold the office until the appointment of a suc cessor. Mr. Congdon will retain hid present position and will serve as ho tel commissioner without pay. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Partly cloudy tonight and Sunday; with possible showers in northeast portion. MEXICANS TO RESISTMARINES Maytorena to Use Entire Force at His Command.

Conferences between Carranza and Obregon, his principal commander; dissensions In the Carranza cabinet, and Carrania'i removal of his neadquarters to the isolated safety of the harbor of San Juan Del Uloa, in the harbor of Vera Cruzall reported to Washington to day, brought the Mexican situation into a new focus. Official dispatches to the state de partment say these developments threaten the solidarity of the Car ranza. government. Occupation of Mexico City by General Pablo Gon zales and Carranza troops ha been postjg&ned pending the cabinet re organization. Officials here have no complete In dication as yet as to the meaning of the cabinet crisis, but overnight it was said a new situation had arisen which may have an important effect on the Mexican problem as a whole. Four of Cabinet Resigns. Latest advices were that four of the cabinet of eight had resigned and that Obregon had insisted in a tele gram to Carranza that they be re tained, and that a fifth member, the minister of public instruction, be dis missed. A newspaper article by the latter at tacking his colleagues in the cabinet, led to the break. Raphael Subaran, minister of the interior, Escudero Ver dugo, minister of justice: Luis Ca brera, minister of finance, and Jesus Uerta, minister of foreign affairs, de cided to stand together, and submitted their resignations. It it now reported that In the re organization Carranza planned to re tain Cabrera. If he dismisses the other three it is said he faces a pos sible break with Obregon and other commanders who are sympathetic with them. Wilson to Watch and Wait. President Wilson Intends to wait several weeks for the situation to r;hape itself more clearly before any definite steps are taken In the new policy announced in his recent state ment to the factions. He wants to see a coalition of the various branches of the original constitutionalist move ment and no recognition will be ac corded until a government is set up which gives promise of stability.

STORY NOT TOLD Jfeedham Dashed to Death as He Interviews Warneford. Intrepid Aeroplanist Sailed Sky Expecting Tragedy. London, June 19. News that Henry Beach Needham, the American writer, was killed yesterday in the accident which also resulted in the death of Lieutenant R. A. J. Warneford of the British Royal Naval flight corps, reached London only last night. The American colony received a shock when a belated Paris dispatch made Jt known that Mr. Needham had been killed. The writer apparently was getting Lieutenant Warneford's story of how the latter destroyed the Zep pelin when the fatal accident oc curred. Lieutenant Warneford Is said to have had a presentiment of death. One of his friends who dined with him in a Paris restaurant the night before the fatal accident states that some one gave the lieutenant a bunch of roses and said: "What a reception you'll get when you go back to London and see jour mother!" Lieutenant Warneford shook his head sadly and replied: "I have a feeling that I shall never go back." His friends endeavored in every way to cheer him up, but he remained despondent and melancholy.

New York, June 19. Martin T. Manton, attorney for Charles Becker, has announced he will not appeal to the federal courts in an effort to save his client from the electric chair, but that an appeal for executive clemency will be made to Governor Whitman. Governor Whitman was district at torney of New York and conducted the prosecution of Becker. $15,000,000 BATTLER. CContinrred from Pag One.1 battleships to weight of armor, and against such a ship as the Arizona with her broadest fire from twelve 14 inch guns and protection of more than a foot of the toughest steel that can be made around the vessel s vital parts like a wall, a battle cruiser would be helpless and must depend on her speed and seek safety in flight. There are a few ships in any navy fit to cope with the Arizona, ship to ship. The range of the Arizona's guns is from 12 to 13 miles as they will be set in turrets, or as far as her gun pointers and observers can see in brightest weather. As previous ships carrying the 14 inch guns, the Ari zona's main battery will have a max imum elevation of nearly twenty de grees. It would be possible, it is said, to almost double that elevation and add miles to the range of the guns; but already they can shoot and hit farther than they likely would ever be called upon to do. For Lone Range Fighfing. The Arizona will carry .the three gun turrets which have been devel oped by American naval constructors. her twelve big rifles being housed in four turrets, two forward and two after. In addition she will have a secondary battery of twenty-two 5 inch, long range rifles for defense against destroyers, tjrpedo boats and submarines. The big guns can be fired over either broadside and around the entire circle with the ex ception of an arc of less than thirty degrees directly forward for the after turrets and directly astern for the for- j ward turrets. Four of six secondary battery guns, two on each side, are so placed that they can fire three de grees across the ship's bows, taking the place of bow chasers of the old wooden ship days. Compared to the Arizona the old battleships of theOregon class are al most like toys. The new ship could engage a fleet of three of them at the same time, turning upon each as many guns as it could bring to bear and her guns would be bigger and of longer range. In addition she could steam away from them or overtake them at pleasure, developing 21 knots against their 16 or 17. The remark able thing about the great increase in size and gun power, however, is that each of the smaller ships would i need as many or more men than the Arizona which will carry a comple ment or 815 in her crew. To Tax Panama Canal. The new sea fortress as she took the water today cost more than seven million dollars. That was for hull and machinery alone. The guns and armor will cost as much more and other equipment necessary to fit her for duty will add another million to her total cost. She is longer and wider than any but the newest trans Atlantic liners. If it is desired to put her through the Panama canal the locks and bends in the canal will be taxed almost to the limit to give her passage way. The Arizona !s the fourth battle- I ship to be mailt in a government yard and her place on the ways will be taken at once by the California, a larger and faster, but similarly armed j ship. I A3 illustrating how the navy de partment is expediting the construc tion authorized by congress the Ari zona will hardly be clear of the ways before workmen will begin making them ready for the keel plates of the California, the electrically driven super-dreadnaught which is to ex ceed the Arizona by 1,000 tons. But until the coming of the Cali fornia the Arizona will be the superior of any vessel under the American flag. For of her type she will be the largest and greatest. Keeping com pany with the California in new con struction are the super-dieadnoughts Mississippi and Idaho. These triplets will have premier place until super seded by later constructions. The Arizona went down the ways carrying 13,000 of her full 31,400 tons displacement. The Arizona is to use fuel oil to develop steam, and she will have but one funnel, whereas our other dread noughts have two. The employment of oil as a fuel reduces the usual necessary complement. MT'SHERET CRASH Tornado at Lamar, 31c, Cuts Off the City. Roof Torn From Oyer Phone Man as He Sounds Alarm. Springfield, Mo., June 19. A tor nado struck Lamar, razing buildings and cutting that city off from com munication by telephone, at 11 o'clock today. The storm was going south east through Barton, Ade and Chris tian counties. The manager of the telephone plant at Lamar was talking to the Spring field wire chief when the storm ap proached. He declared the worst storm he had ever seen, was nearing Lamar. "It's here," he shouted. "The roof has been torn off the building and if I don't call any more you may know why." Just then the conversation was in terrupted. No details of the storm have been received. At Billings, telephone poles were blown down. A party left Carthage this after-, noon in automobiles for Lamar to ascertain the damage there. The roads are almost impassable. EMBERMENIL IS SEIZED Germans Take Fortified French Vil lage 20 Miles From Nancy. Berlin, June 19 (via London).

After the French defenses had been destroyed, the Germans returned to their former positions. TODAY'S ODDEST STORY. San Francisco, June 19. "B nat ural" is a sure cure and certain to tone you up, according to Miss Ethel Johnson of San Francisco, who is planning a series of musical cures for her ailing friends. They are to be used on the modern girl, disobedient youngsters or who ever sJipws cause for treatment. She also advocates the cure of spir itual ills by music. She ought to know because she says she has "tried it on her piano." If her "cure" is a success small brother will never again balk when called on to wipe the dishes be cause the new "cure" is one that never' fails where the ill has been diagnosed as plain, common lazi ness. If there is trouble in the house turn on the phonograph. If the servant gives notice and quits just play "How Can I Live With out You?" Have your ailment diag nosed and set to music, says Miss Johnson. KOREA BARS BIBLE Japanese GoTernor Banishes Religion From Schools. No Exception Is Made in Favor of Shintoism. AMERICAN MISSIONARIES HIT Ruler Says Experience in U. S. and France Justifies Him. Order, Effective in Ten Years, Stirs Theologians. Washington, June 19. All religious education will be barred within ten years from schools in Korea, giving "a general education," by an order promulgated by General Terauchi, Japanese territorial governor of Ko rea, the text of which is made public by the Japanese embassy here. The order prohibits the teaching of any religion no exception being made in favor of Shintoism, the Japanese national religion but allows a period of ten years for the schools to confrom to the new conditions. It will seri ously effect a large number of Ameri can and other Christian missionary schools which have been established in Korea, and reports of its provisions already have evoked considerable dis cussion among missionary organiza tions in the United States. General Terauchi prefaces his order with the declaration that the experi ence of the United States and France has demonstrated the wisdom of sep arating education and religion. No definition of the exact meaning of the term "general education," is given in the order, but in Japanese circles here today it was explained that if the missionaries in Korea de sire to continue their religious teach ings separate from the general schools, their activities will not be limited in theological schools, English language schools, or other institutions of a like character. KILLS FATHER AND TWO Drink Crazed Man Commits Triple Murder and Is Himself Slain. Jamestown, N. Y., June 19. Fred Shaver of this city, late Friday shot and killed his father, his stepmother and a policeman and was himself killed by other officers. The weapons used were rifles and Shaver's act is attributed to drink and a quarrel with his father. The latter, Hudson Shav er, 6 7 years old and well-to-do, was married June 7 to Ruth Campbell, 37. Friday afternoon the son went to his father's apartments. After a quar rel, the elder Shaver went out into the hall. His son followed, shooting and killing him. The sound of the shot attracted Of ficer Kendall, who ran up the stairs. Young Shaver shot the policeman through the chest and in the hip, in flicting injuries from which Kendall died an hour later. The murderer then barricaded himself in the apart ment, first killing his stepmother. authorities believe. FIRE KILLS 5 CHILDREN Two Boys and Three Girls, AH Colored Burned In Missouri Home.

LUSITANIA PROBE ENDS No Date Yet Fixed for Delivery of Court's Finding. London, June 19. The sitting in the Lusitania inquiry has been concluded. No date has yet been fixed for the delivery of the finding of the court. KAW RIVER ON THE RISE Continued from Page One.l showed a slight fall standing at 21 feet. The high water mark of last week was 22.6. The situation in North Topeka had not reached a serious stage this morn ing, but the knowledge that a further rise was expected caused nervousness. Soldier creek was bank-full. There were many points in North Topeka lower than the water in both feoldier creek and the Kaw river. This being the case all the water which fell in North Topeka or flowed in had just one outlet the pumping plant at the east end of Fairchild street. "This pump is in operation, but it will not be able to take care of all the water," said A. P. Young, city en gineer. "And besides," he added ner vously, "the pump is not working very well." The pump is connected with the North side sewer system. With the exception of a few short sewers which discharge into the Kaw, all are con nected with the Fairchild street main and when the water in both Soldier creek and the Kaw are high the only drainage outlet is through the pump connected with the sewer. The pump lifts the water over the dike when the natural flow is cut off by high water. Several places in North Topeka are lower than the wafer in the river and the creek and were it not for the dikes would be flooded. A table of elevations prepared by S. D. Flora, local weather observer, enables one by comparing the table with the stage of the river, to deter mine how deep the water would be were it not held back by the dikes: Stages of the river at 9 a. m. 21.3. The elevations of the following points are as follows: Rock Island tracks, at R. L. depot 30.8 Crane atreet crossing 26.2 North end of Melan bridge 31.2 Curtis street crossing 27.0 Union Pacific tracks 26.4 Fire station in North Topeka 23.5 Fairchild street crossing 22.0 Kistler street crossing 21.2 Kioua street crossing 20.6 Say well street crossing. 22.2 Para more street crossing 21.2 Garfield street crossing 20.2 The elevations are from figures furnish ed by the city engineer in 1012 ana refer to the heights of the pavement in the cen ter of the streets In front of the places mentioned. Rise Came on Time. The expected rise in the Kaw river came on schedule lima. The water rose rapidly late Friday and by two o'clock this morning had reached 21.3 feet. The stage was the same at nine o'clock this morning. The stage of the Kaw river at Wa mego this morning was 16.8 feet as compared with 11.2 at seven o'clock Friday morning, and 13.5 at three o'clock in the afternoon. Bank full stage is 18 feet. An early morning rain at Wamego netted 2.10 inches of water. Grove reports a two-inch rain this morning. Rain fell all night at Junction City, it is reported. The stage of the Kaw river at Wa mego should cause no alarm. In 1 908 the stage &i Manhattan was 23.4 feet, and that undoubtedly practically was the stage that prevailed at Wamego at the same time. The heavy rain along the Kaw val ley this morning will tend to aggra vate the situation. The farmers are hard hit because of the heavy rain3 and flood con ditions. A. Santa Fe man reports that there is water standing in the fields a majority of them all the way from Kinsley to Topeka on the main line of the Santa Fe. Thousands of acres of wheat are under water, and there is much corn that must be re planted. It had beep so wet that the farmers have not been able to culti vate what corn has made a fair "stand." The weather, too, has been so cold and wst that the corn is stunted. Kaiu All Up the Valley. The Santa Fe reports an average of one inch of rain between Newton and Emporia, and all the way from one to five inches between Manchester in Dickinson county and Superior, Neb. Lawrence received a rain this morn ing, and the Santa Fe reports the stage of the Kaw at that town at 16.5 feet this morning as against 18.9 last week. Tho river wa3 said to be rising rapidly at ihat point. The Rock Is land reports rain this morning at Clay Center. Considerable driftwood was lodged against the Melan bridge this morning at Topeka. The Kaw river was the, chief topic of conversation on the street cars this morning, and in the course of the day several thousand persons have been down to take a look at the river that a few months ago was mostly sand bars. Four inches of rain is reported to have fallen at Jewell City in Jewell county. An inch fell at Concordia, according to a report, and the rainfall was heavy early today at Manhattan. In fact the rain has been general all along the Kaw valley. Few Are Moving Out. The trash and drift that has been accumulating west of the Melan bridge and which caught under the arches, is being removed today by a small army of workmen. If the drift had been allowed to remain, it might have caused some damage in case of higher water. Soldier creek is more than two feet under the high mark made a week ago. North Topeka residents are taking the creek and river situation with more coolness than at the other "scare" and only a few families are moving out today. No water was standing in the streets except that which fell this morning. The highest was on North Quincy street, where the water was curb. high. The pumping station on East Fair child street was the scene of an ac cident this morning when the big belt broke in the midst of the rainstorm. E. L. Overton immediately took charge and repaired the damage. TODAY'S MARKETREPORT. Chicago, June 19. WHEAT Higher prices for wheat were scored today as a re sult of continued unwelcome rains in the harvest regions to the southwest. Opening prices which ranged from e to lc were followed by some additional gains, and then a reaction all around. Subsequently a rally took place, in fluenced somewhat by reports of crop back wardness in the spring wheat states. Ab sence of all export demands, however, brought about another setback. The close was weak at the same as last night to c down. CORN Corn hardened .owing to unfavor able weather. Assertions that even under the most favorable circumstances only a moderate domestic crop was possible led to a fresh upturn, but the bulge failed to last. The close was weak at c to c net de cline.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUpw a t: SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1915. -3 Up to the Minute From Everywhere. SWEDE WAS WEAK Savages Lost to Wichita Friday Afternoon 7 to 4. Jackson Fnt Out of Game by Umpire Cusick. Wichita, Kan., June 19. Bunched hits on Weidman in the fifth inning was the cause of Topeka losing the second game of the series here by a score of 7 to 4. On the other hand Southern pitched shutout ball for six innings allowing but two scattered hits'. Manager Jackson objected too strenuously to Umpire Cusack's de cisions in the fifth and waa banished from the park. Grover, who replaced Jackson in center, opened the seventh with a two bagger to the centerfield fence. Lat timore walked. Rapps hit into a double play, Hosp to Charles to Pat terson. Cochran was safe on Charles's error and Grover scored. Dashner grounded out to Patterson. Three singles in the eighth failed to score a runner, Tallion being thrown out at the plate. Lattimore was safe in the ninth when Patterson dropped the ball on a throw from Charles. Rapps popped to Charles. Cochran beat out a slow hit to third. Monroe was out Hosp to Patterson. Lattimore scored on a wild pitch. Roche tripled scoring Cochran. Tallion got a hit when the ball took a bad bound past Charles and Roche scored. Trainer fanned. A double by Fox and a single by Patterson scored one for Wichita in the third. Fox led off with a double in the fifth. Tydeman singled. Patterson was hit, filling the bases. Griffith hit to Mayer and Fox was out at the plate. Britton doubled scoring two runs. Hosp singled but waa caught off first. White singled scoring Britton.

Another effect of the European war has reached Kansas. Again, innocent, neutral gunmen of Amer ica must suffer because of the "causeless war." This week Topeka dealers were notified that the price of all shot gun ammunition had been ad vanced 20 per cent on its original wholesale cost and the war de mands were given as the cause. Fullerton Brothers stated that this meant the retail price of shotgun shell in boxes of 25 would have to be advanced practically 10 cents on the box. Members of the local shooting fraternity state that they expect the new prices to affect trap shooting throughout the entire country, and clubs that have announced shoots with shells furnished at the old price will find themselves in the hole unless they have already laid in their supply.

Manager Jackson protested in the fifth after Tydeman had singled fol lowing Fox's double. Hosp was coach ing on third and he walked over and talked to Fox after the runners had reached first and third. Jackson in sisted that Hosp had touched Fox and Fox should be called out. Fox made no attempt to score as there was no chance on Tydeman's hit. Jackson announced that the game would be played under protest. Weidman was in trouble in nearly everv inning. A hit batter put one on in the first. Two hits were made in the second. A double and a single and two walks produced but one run in the third. He whipped up in the fourth and fanned two and caused the third to send an easy fly to left. He was greeted with some real hits in the fifth. Dashner walked two in the fifth and two singles were made in the seventh but no one scored. A double was col lected by Patterson in the eighth but Griffith and Britton went out on line drives to Trainer. Grover. who replaced Jackson in center, made one pretty running catch nearly to the fence and slammed out p. double and a single in his two times up. The Savages have been playing a classy article of baseball in the two games played. Only one error was made and that by Manager Jackson, who dropped a fly in the first game. Paul Brown has accepted terms with Wichita and will arrive Sunday. Ke probably will work in one of the games Sunday and Geist In the other. Floyd Bishop, former K. U. pitcher, who went to the Cleveland Ameri cans, is in Wichita trying out but it is not thought that he will be able to pitch as he injured his arm last vear and hasn't been working out so far this season. Manager Patterson is on the lookout for a hard hitting outfielder. Sioux City, 5; Lincoln. S. Sioux City, Ta., June 19. The locals won the opening game from Lincoln. Le.Ieune's hitting was a feature.

The Savages stage a double header at Wichita Sunday. The City Leaguers stage the same kind of a. bill at W. L. park. Monday the Savages and Wolves will begin a three day fight here. Each game should be a good one. Sanders, the new pitcher, will work in one of them. Pittsburg owes Topeka a lot. but if Sanders will continue to pitch the brand of ball he fed the Wolves Thurs day, we'll call it even and balance off accounts. Bostick, the Topeka player who was spiked while playing the last St. Joe game, will be back in the line up the first of the week. He hopes his string of bad luck has ben counted out. By the way, this, column would like to predict that Bostick will develop into one of the classiest of Savages if things go good for him. Since the season opened he has been handicap ped in one way or another all the time. First, he had a case of malaria that tried to get him down. Then he strain ed a ligament in his shoulder. Then, Vance tried to knock his heart out and on the very next day White walked all over his face. As has been previously announced, Connie Mack thought so much of Bostick that he gave him a chance to fill Home Run Baker's shoes. And Bostick will always believe that he would have done so in a satisfactory manner had it not been for his strain ed ligament. Even when he failed to prove a Baker, Connie thought so much of him that he wanted to send him to Mem phis with strings. But Bostick was afraid the southern climate would bring on his malaria again. Then he decided to come to the Western League. Of course, unless he works hard and has the breaks of luck, he won't strike the rich pay dirt, but Topeka fans might do well to watch him. He has the earmarks of the real thing. It is understood that a. Labor Day bout between Willard and Coffey is an assured thing. Also, it is probable that it will be of the Freddie Welsh 10 round variety, which means that It will not be much of a fight. Critics say that Coffey will have about as much chance licking Willard in 10 rounds as Willard will ever have of being governor of Kansas, which isn t very much, politically speaking. Phil Koerner Released. News was received in Topeka Fri day that Tyler Christian, manager of the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast League, has given Phil Koerner, first baseman bought from Topeka last year, his unconditional release. There are many Topeka fans who would be glad to see Phil back with the re juvenated Savages. Owing to the rainy weather, the opening of the new Shawnee golf course has to be postponed again this week. However, work is being pushed as rapidly as possible and the mem bers hope to be driving balls hither and yon all over the course by this time next week. That Fed Race. In all the excitement and flustery flurry resulting from the big upsets in the American and National leagues this season our old friends the Fed erals have been rather overlooked. It happens, too, that' a neck and neck race is being staged In Jim Gilmore's league that couldn't be improved upon if pennant races were being made to order. Six teams are all within a couple of games of the lead all of the time. A double-barrelled win often hurdles a club from fifth or sixth to the lead and vice versa. It is a race; too, that promises to last all the way down the stretch and the winner may not be de clared until the last game is chalked up. Bill Phillips' Peps at Newark who won the pennant at Indianapolis two years are bidding for the honors again. In-and-out pitching has kept this club from galloping away from the field. Fielder Jones has whipped together a winning club at St. Louis and they are showing signs of giving the Mound City fans a shock by pre senting them with a championship. Joe Tinker's Chifeds look good, too, though weak hitting in streaks has kept them down. Rebel Oakes has had his Pittsburg crew flirting with first place a good part of the time while Firebrand George Stovall has assembled a bunch of misfits that are up around the top, too, without any legal reason for being there. Why Ty! Think of it Ty Cobb is at the bot tom of the American league list of sacrifice hitters! He has only one to his credit for the entire season. Also, Ty has scored only 61. runs to date, which, with three exceptions, is only twice as many as his nearest competi tors in the league. The three excep tions are Collins with 44, Maisel with 37 and Fournier with 33. Also, Tyrus has stolen only 38 bases while Maisel, his nearest competitor, has the enor mous number of 23 to his credit. Ty ought to be ashamed of himself, in deed, he ought huh! TENNIS JNTOPEKA Country Club Players to Meet K. C. Team July 5. News and Aotes From Courts Throughout the City. T ravers Wins Championship. Short Hills. N. J., June 19. For the second time in the history of the Unit ed States Golf association, the nation al open championship was won by an amateur Friday. After a long and ar duous test of 72 holes medal play, Jerome D. Travers of Upper Mont clair, N. J., won the title with a splen did score of 297 strokes. Travers has won four national amateur and five Metropolitan, as well as several other important golf championships, but his heart's desire was gratified when he added the "open" to his long list of victories. Wolgast to Fight Welling. Chicago, 111., June 19. Ad Wolgast of Cadillac, Mich., and Joe Welling, of Chicago, have been matched to box ten rounds in Benton Harbor, Mich., on the afternoon of July 5. They agreed to weigh 133 pounds. Princeton BascbaU Captain. New York, June 19. Jesse Hoyt, of New Tork City, was Friday night elected captain of the Princeton base- I ball team for the 1916 season. (By San.) The tennis team of the Topeka Country club is going to meet the team of the Kansas City Athletic club on the local courts on Monday, July 5, for the Independence Day tournament. The Topeka team will consist of Rob ert Shoemaker, W. B. Collinson, Earl Trobert and Wilbur Cole. Opposing them will be D. Keedy Campbell, A. A. Poteet, C. F. Howard and Oakes Lem ing. Three years ago the Country club put up a cup to be played for by the two associations and by winning 'two tourneys out of three, the K. C. A. C. took home the trophy lust year. The players of that club have now offered a new cup to be played for on the same principle and the July 5 tourna ment will be the first season's battle for It. The Country club players are round ing into shape. Shoemaker and Col linson are the old members of the squad," Trobert and Cole the new ones. All four of them are playing some corking good sets this surnm. and expect to make it merry for the river town "servers" next month. Leonard Beekman, 1914 lawn tennis champion of New York city, will prob ably win the title again this year. The contests are being held this month and Beekma-n is apparently winning with ease. His hardest match was with Harold A. Throckmorton, at present the junior metropolitan title holder. The heavy rains of the past month have put tennis in the background on account of wet courts. The season this year did not begin as early as usual for that reason. It was some what discouraging for the local play ers to have their sets postponed be cause of a downpour. The Y. M. C. A. courts at Tenth and Lane streets are in excellent shape for the. summer matches. There are three rmirta Viprn anH tiT-nV.u lii.- regular players are located there this year man ever Derore. A bill for 85 cents was presented to one young man this week for break ing a garage window some distance from the court where he was playing. In attempting to return a hot serve his muscular development seemed to be good, because the garage was half a block away. Now that the tennis season is open ed, there is a lot of talk of a state wide tournament later in the summer. If it develops into more action and less conversation, the hopes of the crack players may be realized. In the larger Kansas cities, Topeka, Wichita, Hutchinson, Kansas City, Leaven worth, Salina and others, "the woods are full" of players with championship or near-championship form. In ad dition to that, nearly every town In Kansas with more than 1,000 people has one or more courts. A Kansas tennis tournament should not be limited to men. An auxiliary meet should be arranged so that the women players of the state could match their skill against one another. Two years ago, in the state tour nament at Wichita, Topeka carried away many of the honors. Last year there was neither a state nor a city tournament. A tennis meet, as well as a golf championship, is a good thing for those concerned and creates a spirit of pep and rivalry that can not be obtained any other way. The Country club tennis commit tee, the Y. M. C. A. players and ni dividuals in Topeka have given assur ances of their support for a state tournament. It is up to the other cities to get busy. MAKE TIP HELP OUT. Western League Club Owners May Cut President O'Neill's Salary. Sioux City, la., June 19. A move ment is on foot in the Western league to cut President "Tip" O'NeiU's salary oo per cent, -mis is in line with the president's statement that the players of the league accept a cut in order that the club owners of the league could realize a profit on the invest ment and also keep the Western league going during the 1915 season. Hughie Jones, owner of the Lincoln baseball club, is leading the move ment, and it is understood has the hearty co-operation of the majority of the other club owners of the league. It is also understood that "Pa" O'Rourke, owner of the Omaha club, who has been one of O'Neill's right hand men for years, is in favor of the proposed cut and will voice his ap proval with a vote in favor of the mo tion when it is put at the meeting of the Western league magnates, which will be held within the near future. In speaking of the matter Friday night, Hugh Jones said: "I have been waiting for the Western league meet ing, and the first thing that I plan to do is to make a motion asking that the salary of the president of the league be cut in half. "The present salary O'Neal draws is $4,500. I will ask that it be reduced to $2,250." Pitches Xo-Hit Game Friday. Fort Smith, Ark., June 1 9. Pitcher "Pep" Hon.sby, of the Twins, Friday afternoon pitched the first no-run, no hit game of the season while the team behind him gathered four hits and three runs off Daniels delivery, send ing Paris down to defeat, 3 to 0. Hornsby gave but ore pass. INJURY JINX PUTS L SCHANG ON BLINK 'i Wallie Schang. Connie Mack's injury jinx still po-, sues him. Wallie Schang is now oo -Mack's hospital list. A big gash wms cut in Schang's-rigrht knee at Phila delphia a few days ago, when Hob litzel spiked him while trying to score. On the Athletics' hospital list' now are Schang, Mclnnis, S trunk,; Oldring and Joe Bush. Besides this,' Mack hasn't Frank Baker. HURLEY LOSES FINAL. Griffith of Wichita. lXreats Topekan for State GoU Championship. Wichita. Kan., June 19. Playing in brilliant form and with a shade the better of his opponent on drives, T. B. Griffith, of Wichita, defeated Har-, low Hurley, of Topeka, for the Kan-,,' sas state golf championship on the Wichita Country club course Friday afternoon. The score stood six up and four to play at the finish. Grilfith'a victory gives him the third state cham pionship in six years. He defeated H. L. Armstrong, of Topeka, in 1909, and T. B. Frost, of Topeka, in 1910. Hurley held the honors on the first -18 holes played during the morning, with the score standing one up. Grlf- fith set the pace in the afternoon's play and it proved too fast for Hurley. Finals in the remaining flights re sulted as follows: Consolation flight: Dr. A. L. Ster rett, Hutchinson, defeated W. Root. Wichita, 1 up. Also-ran flight: Walter Stippich, Wichita, defeated J. B. Root, Em poria, 2 up. NEW COACH FOR AGGIES.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE jntraNAE SATURDAY EVENING JUNE 19, 1915. BIGGEST1N WORLD Topeka Is Center of Greatest Apple Seedling Business. How European "War Has Af fected Industry. HALF SEED SUPPLY WAS BAD Shortage in Help Caused Care less Handling in France. There TVill Be Enough Seed lings to Meet the Demand. The European war has had ita effect upon the world's greatest apple seedling business with To peka as the center. Carelessness lit handling: apple seed? which are shipped to Topeka In large quantities from I "ranee Is said to have caused one-half the seed to le of inferior quality. Enough seed was .ordered this season, however 1,004) bushels in round numbers to produce suffi cient seedlings to meet the demand. Ninety per cent of the seedlings of the i'ntted States are grown in the Jiuw valley between Wamego and I-awrcnce and approximately half of these are produced In Shaw nee county. 1. Watson of Topeka, who grows apple seedlings exclusively, is the largest producer on earth. .1. II. Skinner Company of Sliorey. and E. K. Taylor 1- 15 'J ay lor Sons), are among the big growers In the Kaw valley. 'Ihe apple seedling industry brinsrs an average of .S 100.000 to the Kaw river valley farmers every twelve months. One -bushel of heed will produce 100.000 to 150. 000 seedlings. The output for the Kaw valley varies, but a fair esti mate made by one dealer is 75.000, 00O annually. The number of seedlings grown on an acre of ground Is 100,000. Seed sown In the spring will pro duce seedling of marketable value by November. The foregoing table gives in a nut shell form some of the interesting facts concerning the greatest apple seedling industry in the world, with Topeka as the center. The Kaw val ley district, extending from "Wamego Watson of Topeka, "Apple Seedling King." to Lawrence, supplies all but a small percentage of the apple seedlings handled in the United States, and nearly one-third ot the output Is grown right here In Shawnee county. Millions of seedlings are shipped each twelve months from the district In question to all parts of the country and shipments have been made to Canada, Alaska and other parts of North America. Xorthern States Buy Seedlings. Six or eight years ago the apple seedling industry was at its height. A wave of interest in orchards swept ovr the country. A few years ago there was an apple 'boom" in Oregon. Washington and Idaho, arid other western states, and it was impossible to supply the demand. Later the main source 'of trade was Virginia, the Carolinas, West Virginia and New York. In flood time the top notch price was reached. As high a price as ten dollars a thousand maintained. Later there was somewhat of a slump in the business. This year there has been a brisk demand in the northern states for seedlings, and N.w York has been a heavy buyer. Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas have come in for a share of the trade. There-is an increased E, It. Taylor of Topeka. a Heavy Pro ducer of Apple SeedUngs. interest in apple growing in Kansas, the scientific methods advocated by the State Agricultural college having revolutionized the industry and given it a new lease of life. As an indirect result of the war in Europe, half of the approximately 1,000 bushels of seed procured from France this season has been of infer ior quality. Much of the seed came from a house in Paris which handles an immtnse quantity of seed. Seed From France. The seed is from small apples used in the production of champagne. The seed is procured at mills where the champagne is made, and if it ia not extracted from the waste material eoon after the juice is pressed out of the apples, the vitality of the seeds will be impaired. Because or a snort age of men. due to the war, it is thought by local dealers that the seed did not have proper attention this sea son. The large Paris firm in ques tion usually employs 700 persons. Four hundred of these have within the last year been called to the front. The seed is packed in charcoal in wine barrels for shipment to this coun try. The charcoal prevents heating, t'pon arrival here the charcoal is blown out by fanning mills and the seed is placed in sacks and soaked from three to five days. Approxi mately a bushel and a peck of seed is planted to an acre. E. R. Taylor states that he has ap proximately 65 acres in apple seed lings this year. J. H. Skinner- has nearly as great an acreage. F. W. Watson has approximately one hun dred acres in seedlings. The humus exhaustion caused by intense cultivation and the fear of disease makes it necessary for the nur serymen to plant in new land every other year. They pay the high rental price of ten dollars an acre. There are nurseries near Wamego, St. Man's, Silver Lake, Ross vi lie, Wil liamstown, Perry, Grantville, Law rence and other towns aside from To peka, the center of the industry. Employ Many Persons. The apple seedling industry gives employment to a small army of sev eral hundred men in Topeka and the Kaw Valley. The growers are busy all the year around, but the rush sea son, is from the middle of October to the middle of January. Shipments are made throughout the winter. The crop receives almost continuouscul tivation during the growing season, the one-horse walking cultivator, with small shovels, being used exclusively. uuring tne latter part of October or early November' the seedlings 'are lifted by hand, bunched, and stored. Many- of the seedlings are used for grafting purposes by nurserymen; others are budded. After grafting, the plants are stored until early spring in cellars constructed for the purpose, when they are set out in rows from four to five feet apart, with about one foot between the trees. As during the first season, they receive almost continuous cultivation with a one horse cultivator. Article by Watson. Mr. Watson, the Topeka "apple seedling king," in an article which appeared recently in The National Nurseryman, and which was previous ly read before the members of the Western Association of Nurserymen, discusses the subject, "American vs. Foreign Grown Apple Seedlings for Budding and Grafting Purposes." "We believe that the American grown No. 1 straight root apple seed lings are better in every way for grafting than the foreign grown seed lings. The American stocks have the proper shape long, even roots graded to a specific standard. Not the short and long uneven grade that the for eigner sends us. "We believe that, all American stocks, properly grown and handled, are superior to foreign stocks." (Editor's Note This is the seven teenth of a series, of articles by F. L. S. published In the State Journal.) DOES NOT REACH THEM Law Regarding Commission Mer chants Doesn't Affect Express Cos. Type of Straight Knot Apple Seedlings Produced by F. W. Watson. Express companies doing business in this state are not affected by the pro visions of the new state law regulat ing the purchase and sale of farm pro ducts. That is the opinion of S. M. Brewster, attorney general, provided the companies do not sell goods on commission -and make no charges for the handling of such products in ex cess of regular transportation charges. When J. C. Mohler, secretary of ths state board of agriculture, recently began an investigation of the produce question, he was informed that certain express companies had been provid ing markets for farm products and charging a commission in addition to regular express charges. Mohler ap pealed to the attorney general for ruling. In his opinion to Mohler, General Brewster holds that the ex press companies are not amenabls under the act unless they perform both the service of a common carrier and commission merchant. Brewster holds, also, that the law applies not alone to regular commission houses, but to grain firms which buy or sell grain on commission. Where thess firms buy and sell direct without charging a commission, the law is held not to apply. Quarantine Is Modified. Modification of the Kansas live stock quarantine against Butler coun ty was announced In a bulletin, issued today by Dr. J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary commissioner. The order revokes all previous quarantine orders relating to that county. Dr. Mercer also announced today that there had not been an outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in Kansas for more than 90 days and that the sit uation in all sections of the state had again become normal. HAPPY NA HOVEL Miss Eva Corning Finds an Example of Contentment In an Old Negro Mammy on the East Side. LEFT ALL ALONE IN THE WORLD Her House Was Soaked by the Recent Flood. Yet She Declines All Offers of Assistance. This I learned was to keep away the "pesky, mischievious, bad little boys" who often are so fond of playing pranks with a lone neighbor. She explained that she would never quarrel with anybody and would not have her own peace disturbed. While the old colored woman was satisfied with her independence, -she believed in preparing for emergences. "No, Misses, I don't need nothin'. hbut please leave me your number. 'cause I might get sick, and I sure would want you to help me." Cheered by the pleasure of relat ing the stories of her life so dear to her, she returned to the little water tented than many others in their rose tented than any others in their rose bowered cottages. PAY UNDER PROTEST Most of the Oil Companies Object to Turning in Fees. Happiness is a mental condition in dependent of environment. If one doubts tnis statement, read what Miss Eva Corning, former policewoman, and at present engaged in welfare work for the Provident Association, has to say. Suppose you were old so old you had outlived all your friends and relatives, and were left all alone In the world and lived en tirely by yourself in the shackiest kind of a shack. Would 'you be happy? This is not an essay, but just an ex ample set by an old colored woman, which Miss Corning describes as fol lows: In every city social workers meet with various phases of human life, and Topeka has her share of humble homes and interesting characters. One most interesting spot in Topeka is a little shack at the corner of Elev enth and Branner streets. Its only oc cupant is an old colored mammy, the only survivor of her family. Grandma Simpson, as she is called, has made her own improvements on the small patch of ground. A high board fence surrounds the little house, which is put together with boards of various sizes and where the boards refused to connect the gaps were filled in with tin boiler covers, so that it is very secure; and though I search ed faithfully for a gate or an entrance, none could I find. Peering over the top of the high board fence, I called to Auntie that she had a visitor. She answered the call from over the board fence and asked "Who is you, and what does you want?" "I want to come in and visit with you," I replied. "No," she explained, "I's not fixed for comp'ny." Then she told how the big rain had flooded the little place and everything was water soaked. Declines Offer of Help. I told her how glad the Provident Association would be to help her by furnishing her with dry bed clothes and things that she might need.

Still the lonely old colored woman was more interested in company than she realized, and began a friendly conversation.

The old mother said she never "knowed what became of him."

TOPEKA N. U. CLUB Northwestern Alumni in Real Live Organization. Intercollegiate Banquet Stunt Made Big Hit. Something out of the ordinary was dished out to those who attended tho intercollegiate banquet recently by the members of the Northwestern uni versity ciub, who put on a burlesque of a college fraternity meeting. The act was distinctly a university stunt, full of life, campus vinegar and col lege pep and was thoroughly enjoyec1. both by the fraternity man and the barbarian. To the fraternity man it gave a chance to see himself as other see him and the non-fraternity mar; got a glimpse of that side of college life which he had missed. The local chapter of the Eata Bita Pie fraternity held a meeting for the purpose of initiating three barbarian strangers, Willie Heartbreaker, Is He Wise and the Right Rev. Poker Heck into the mysteries of the order. The stunt was a success from cur tain to curtain and the smocthness of the piece, together with the clever ness of the lines, has caused many in quiries to be made as to whether the stunt was not imported and written by an expert. Such is not the case as the playlet represents the collabo ration of the different memt-ers of the club. To Pie Faced Moon. The climax of ridiculousness was reached when the initiates took the obligation and swore fealty to their celestial emblem, the pie-faced moon, and at night when the moon begins to wane promised to ascend to the housetops and clad in a black robe and with outstretched arms thus to address their patron orb: "Tbou pie-faced moon Which now art but a crescent I. thee adore Thou magic, fairy moou so evanescent I, thee implore O tbou inconstant moon Who soon wilt nothing be Help me my oath to keep And be all like thee." Th3 impressiveness of the ceremony reached its highest tension when the president, after the initiates had been conducted through a valley of dry bones, uttered these solemn words, "Oh ye dry bones! Hear and beat witness to the mysteries of the order of the Eata Bita Pie and become teachers to these Barbarian Strangers of the misdeeds, of the lives wasted to society and civilization, or the im practicableness of the much degreed man, and his fatuous and ignominious ending." Professor Harshbarger, who pro fesses in mathematics at Washburn, was given the following treatment: "Professor Harshbarger, who smiles only in angles, who walks only in or bits, who talks only in circles, whose head is a conic, whose face is a quad ric surface, whose heart is a pole, whose days are given to a study of vectors and whose dreams are filled with eularian functions, may his days be as the sands of the sea."

OTE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1915. TOPEKA OFFICE WEATHER BUREAU History of Station as Shown by Its Valuable Records. Established by T. B. Jennings June 1, 1887. WORK OF STATION STATEWIDE Observations "Were First Taken in Rice Hall. S. I). (Sunny) Flora Is the Friend of the Reporters. In a single room of the basement of Rice hall -at Washburn college a Uni ted States army signal corps weather office was opened June 1. 1887, by T. B. Jennings, now veteran weather man whc may well boast of having been 4 4 years in the service. The local office was opened by order of the chief of the signal bureau, and the permanency of the office was in question. The following was written in the original record book of the office by Mr. Jennings: "June 1, 1887. A station of the sec ond order was opened here this morn in per I.. R. 31 dated O. C. S. O., May 18, 1887. "Generally clear cool weather. Xo snowfall. Xo aurora. Fair sunset ver.fied." Jennings came to Topeka In the spi-insr of 1887 for the purpose of establishing the state service. Ar rangements were made for between 75 and 100 substations in Kansas. The instruments were distributed among the observers appointed by the. weath er man, and instructions given. After the establishment of the of fice in room Xo. 6 in Rice hall Jen nings was away much of the time. A "civilian" assistant was appointed to make the observations in his absence. Slept In His Office. The room was partitioned, to pro vide sleeping quarters for Jennings during the time he spent in Topeka. These "civilian" assistants changed often. Two of the assistants have since be come missionaries, one is in' charge of the weather office at St. Joseph, one is a well-known Topeka lawyer, and still another conducts. l prosperous publicity agency in the capital citv Phil Eastman. He served in the Co lumbian building. T. B. Jennings. Section Director, and Founder of Ixcal Office of United States Weather Bureau. September 12, 89, the Instruments were moved to rooms No. 22 and "24 on the second floor of Rice hall. The United States weather bureau wasn't born until July 1, 1890. It was created as a result of an act of con gress October 1, 1890. Up to that time the weather was handled by the United States army signal corps. Jennings was listed in the corps as a sergeant. Weather Service Kstablialied. The secretary of war established weather service as a result of the fol lowing joint resolution approved Feb ruary 9, 1870: Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that the secretary of war be, and he hereby is, authorized and required to provide for taking meteor ological observations at the military stations in the interior of the conti nent and at other points in the states and territories of the United States, and for giving notice on the northern lakes and on the eeacoart, by magnetic telegraph and marine signals, of the approach and force of storms. Moved to Columbian Building. When the meteorological work of the signal office was transferred to the department of agriculture ar rangements were made for more com modious quarters for the local weather man. Rooms No. 44 and 46 were pro cured in the Columbian building, then known as the Knox building. The move was made April 9, 1892. It was July 1, 1908, that headquarters were transferred to the fifth floor of the Mulvane building. The work of the Topeka' station has grown steadily, until at present a suite of six rooms is required. And it is one of the most desirable suites in the city. The equipment used is elab orate and up to the minute. There are now three persons on the BRACES THE NEEWES Weak, unstrung nerves a "shaky" feeling, agitation and excitability, resulting from mental stress or suffering caused by lack of phosphates in the nerve cells.

Jen nings, section director; S. D. (Sunny) Flora, whose name is known in every household in Topeka, and C. L. Bush, a valuable assistant who handles a large amount of detail work. Dally Forecast. To the general public the weather bureau probably is best known through the medium of its daily fore casts and weather maps. These forecasts-are based upon simultaneous ob servations of local weather conditions taken daily at 8 a. m. and 8 p. m., seventy-fifth meridian, at approxi mately 200 regular observing stations scattered throughout the United States and the West Indies, and upon similar reports received daily from various points in other parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Each of the weather bureau stations is operated by one or more trained ob servers, and is equipped with mercu rial barometers, thermometers, wind vanes, rain and snow gauges, and anemometers, and many of them with sunshine recorders, barographs, ther mographs, and other devices which make a continuous automatic record of the local weather conditions and changes. The results of the twice- daiiy observations are immediately telegraphed to the central office at Washington, D. C, and other forecast centers where they are charted for study and interpretation by experts trained to forecast the weather condi t.ons; that may be expected to prevail duiing the following 36 to 48 hours. Some Quick Work. Within two hours after the morning observations have been taken the fore casts are telegraphed from the fore cast centers to about 1,600 principal distributing, points, whence thev are further disseminated by telegraph, telephone, wireless telegraphy, and mail. The forecasts reach nearly 90, 000 addresses daily by mail, the greater part being delivered early in ths day and none later, as a rule, than 6 p. m. of the day of issue, and are available to more than 5,500,000 tele phone subscribers within an hour of the time of issue.. Sub-Stations Xumber ISO. The local office of the United States weather bureau. Js the center for all government meteorological work. There are 130 sub-stations where ob servations in respect to temperature and rainfall are recorded every day in" the year. Instruments are fur nished through the Topeka office, and all reports are received here. T4a Instruments Used by Observers at Kansas Sub-Stations. There are 160 rub-stations that dis tribute weather forecasts by mail and telephone ar.d indicate prospective conditions through means of flags. There is scarcely a postoffice in Kan sas that does not get forecasts by mail. Under Ihe direction of the To peka office 125,225 persons get fore casts by telephone. Forecast cards numbering 1,926 are sent out over the state, 1,000 of which are addressed at Topeka. Five hundred rural deliv ery slips giving the forecast are mailed every day. Rural carriers drop these in boxes. Bulletins Sent Out. A daily "corn and wheat region" bulletin covering twenty-three Kansas stations is issued from the local office each day. A weekly weather and crop bulletin is sent out to those who particularly d?sire such a report. A complete monthly report containing information concerning the weather in nearly every county in the state is mailed to government weather bureau offices over the country, and to in dividuals especially interested. The mailing list at thrt local office consists of approximately 1,200 names. The monthly report of the Kansas weather prepared in Topeka is with two exceptions the largest in the United States. The Topeka office like wise, with but few exceptions has the largest number of sub-stations in the country.- Hourly Record Kept. At Topeka an hourly record of this her Observer at Topeka. temperature, precipitation, direction of wind, wind velocity, and amount of sunshine is kept. The latest type of self registering instruments is used. A daily record of the Kaw river stage is made. Copies of the records of temperatures and precipitation at the 130 sub-stations in Kansas are kept. The office files include records of the weather in practically every county in the United States, in the Island posses sions and elsewhere. All kinds of in formation on weather conditions are furnished upon request. S. D. (Sunny) Flora. "Sunny" Flora, the local weather observer, is a friend of the newspa per reporters. He has an unusually well developed sense of news values, and takes real pleasure in figuring out weather "dope" that will make a good newspaper story. C. lu Bush, Assistant at Topeka Of fice United States Weather Bu reau. But Flora does not spend all of his time in publicity work. He is one of the busiest men in Topeka. There are a thousand and one details of the work of the office that he attends to and he puts in many hours preparing exhaustive reports for the govern ment. Flora has been in the service of the United States weather bureau since 1902. He was sent to Washington from Intiiana for instruction. Then he went to the office at Vicksburg, Miss. He has been in Topeka since 1905. Jennings, Section Director. T. B. Jennings, section director, has been in the service since 1871. He had the ranking of sergeant in the United States signal corps from 1871 to 1891. He was stationed at Wash ington, D. C for some years in fore cast work. Later he was In charge of the service at Oswego, New Torn. He opened an office in Springfield, 111., in the early eighties. Next he was put in charge of the station at Chicago. From Chicago he came to Topeka to organize the state service. Jennings can tell many Interesting stories of the experiences in his early life although it is not often that he can be induced to talk of the "early days." As a mere boy he ried to enlist for duty in the Civil war. but he was sent back home by General Grant because of his tender age. He was a strong and well built youth, and was de termined to go to the front. He was eventually allowed to go for a few months as a guard for prisoners. As an Indian scout he later had many exciting experiences. He trav eled from Kansas to Arizona and went as far as the Yukon basin. He helped settle Independence, Kan., arid was a .prominent figure in early Kansas history'- It was later that he entered the United States signal corps. C. Li. Bush, Assistant. C. L. Bush, a valuable assistant at the Topeka office, was assigned to the Topeka office October, 1909. He was sent to the central office at Washing ton, D. C, in 1910, and in January, 1913, was assigned to Wichita. He was returned to Topeka August. 1913. Money to Build, Bay or Repair SEE US Our plan will please you.

The United States government has joined the state of Kansas in its cam paign against roosters, according to in formation received today at the office of the state division of foods and drugs. The bureau of animal indus try urges Kansas poultrymen to sell off their surplus roosters and thus avoid the danger of fertile eggs, which, it asserts, costs the farmers of the United States $15,000,000 annually because of partial hatching during transportation. The bureau points out that the roos ter does not help the hens to lay. but merely fertilizes the germ of the egg and such an egg spoils more quickly than an unfertile one. The five rules laid down in the bul letin are to keep the nests clean, to gather eggs twice daily, to keep the eggs in a cool dry place, to market the product at least wice a week and to sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over.

FRENCH HOLD NORTH OF ARRAS Allies Occupy Positions on Three Sides of Souchez. Italians Shell Gorizia in Ad vance Along Frontier. London, June 19. The forces of Russia are at bay along the Grodek line, in Galicia, to the west of Lem berg. where with her vulnerable flank well protected by the marshes of the Dniester she will defend Lemberg, the capital of Galicia. Neither side, how ever, reports much activity during the last twenty-four hours, the outstand ing claim being one from Petrograd that the Austro-Germans have been hurled back into Austrian territory between the Dniester river and the River Pruth. Frenoli Press Germans Hard. The French, according to the lat est news, are holding the Germans to the north of Arras. They now occupy positions on three sides of Souchez, and they soon may make the German positions on this front untenable, in the view of British observers. Italv is attacking the Austrian fron tier defenses with energy, but the only evidence of an advance is the report of the shelling of the railroad station at Gorizia. which would indicate the Italian batteries have been consider ably advanced. Territory to Bulgaria. Humors, as plentiful as contradic toiv. emanate from the Balkans that the entente allies have offered Bul garia generous territorial terms, which special dispatches from Sofia locla re to be absolutely satisfactory. Nevertheless, it is evident no actual alliance yet has been signed, nor will lie, until Bulgaria's neighbors make the concession she has been consist ently demanding. TUESDAY JACKSON DAY Manager of Topeka's Ball Team to Be Honored by Fans. Topeka baseball fans will be given an opportunity next Tuesday to show Jimmv Jackson, manager of the Sav ages, how much they appreciate his efforts to put Topeka on tire baseball map. At the Commercial club at noon to day a movement was started by A. B. f Dutcher. George Godfrey Moore and J. Will Kelly to make Tuesday Jackson day, and all Topeka will be asked to make it the banner baseball dav of the season. Personal' invitations will be extend ed to as many people as possible, the endless chain telephone scheme will be called into play and cards announc ing the day will probably be struck. All of those who have followed the local baseball situation closely realize that the untiring efforts and personal competency of Jackson have been re sponsible for Topeka having a team in the first division fighting for the league leadership. Therefore, it is felt that the town should show him its appreciation in some way, and those who originated the plan think that nothing would please the plucky little manager more than to see the bleachers and grand stand packed with people on a day designated as "his day." Kverybody is invited and requested to help in overflowing the park Tues day. It is only natural that the Ktrongcr support Topeka gives Jack tson. the harder he will fight to give Topeka a winning team, and for th good of all the whole town is request ed to turn out.

FLOOD LIKE 1908 (Continued from PageOne.1 Missouri river is swiftly spreading out from its tanks. The small farmers in the menaced district today were preparing reluctantly to desert the verdant fields and small homes for higher ground. They will suffer great ly if the Missouri continues to rise. Alost of them own their little patches of ground. Flood Conditions Monday. Weather Observer Connor said he expected flood conditions to prevail in these districts by Monday. Although small creeks in other sec tions of the city are out of banks, the business and principal residence districts of the city will not be ax fected. A new storm area extending all over Kansas and western Missouri prevailed lasL night and early today. The heav iest precipitations were in northeast ern Kansas and amounted to about two inches. Rain was falling today at Kansas City. All rivers in Kansas were reported rising this morning. At Wamego the Kansas river wa up 5.6 feet. The Republican, which last night broke through the dikes at Clay Center, had risen another foot this morning. The aperture caused by the onrushing waters is twenty- five feet wide. Fortunately it was made southwest of the principal part of the city and has not caused as much damage as had been expected. The Missouri river reading at Kan sas City this morning was 2 3.9 feet, .a rise of 1.6 feet overnight. The danger point is 21 feet. A fur ther rise of five or six feet is expected. Five Inch Fall at Kelso. Information received at the weath er bureau showed five inches of rain fell last night and early today at Kel so, Kan. Parkerville and Jewell City got four inches of rain, while Council Grove, Wamego and Concordia measured two inches. The Kaw valley drainage board to day, with the sullen Kansas river boil ing just three feet below the low Kan sas City Southern bridge, which makes breaches in the dikes on both sides of the river five feet below the tops of the dikes, made every preparation to meet the danger when the water rises to that height. Men and wagon loads of sand bags were hurried to the breaches where the bridge enters the dikes, in readiness to plug them up. The drainage board also prepared to remove the 150 feet of piling at the ends of the bridge, to let the flood waters through when that becomes necessary. The bridge is under the control of the drainage boaid, by order of Gov ernor Capper. The Kansas river dikes were con structed after the flood of 1908. The Southern bridge is lower than, the dikes, and at the point where it stands the waters can thus secure an outlet. Delayed reports from the scenes of Thursday night's storm in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma continued to tell of property damage and narrow escapes from small tornadoes.. The death list today is placed at twenty one. Railroad communication still is in terrupted, due to trackage washed out and bridges torn down. All lines en tering here are rushing repair work with large forces of men, but trains are reported from one to three hours late today. Uain Still Falling. Athcison. Kan., June 19. Rain is falling again over northeastern Kan sas this morning, but apparently not heavy enough to add to flood troubles. Most of the small streams, brought up by Thursday's downpour, are receding and the Central Branch was able to bring in its first train from the west for thirty-six hours this morning. The Missouri river rose five inches last night and is still rising slowly. It is within three inches of the highest stage recorded this season. Many Crops Total loss. St. Joseph, Mo., June 19. Flood conditions in nortnwest Missouri are improving today, although continued clouds cause apprehension. The esti mate of the damage to crops and roads by rains and high water this week in creases as remote districts are heard from. Many farmers in the lowlands leport their crops a total loss. Flood Danger Stage. Springfield, Mo., June 19. Al though high water along the tracks of the K. C. C. and S. railroad all day yesterday threatened to wash away the bridges on the Clinton line be tween Springfield and Kansas City, no serious damage was reported early this morning. The Sac river is out of its banks and at Aldrick. Polk county, threatens to reach a danger stage. The river rose twenty inches hourly yesterday. The Frisco has not suffered any loss from flood in this part of the state. Ohio Tornado Injures Four. Find lay. Ohio. June 19. Four em ployees of the Find lay Electric Por celain were seriously injured when part of the roof and walls of a factory building were blown down by a tor nado.

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, of the United States district court, who once assessed a fine of $29,240,000 against the Stan dard Oil company, imposed one of two cents against Henry Johnson ot Bar rington. 111., today. Johnson, with a shotgun, drove a government agent off his premises when the agent was look ing for cases of foot and mouth dis ease. "The fact is, this defendant is a farmer who rents from another man; that at the time of this offense there was a large number of men going about the country doing things to other people's cattle," said Judge Landis. "One of these, armed with a squirt gun and other parapherpalia, came to Johnson and was going to do some thing to his cows. The building of a dairy business is not an overnight job. Johnson armed himself with a shotgun, a gatling gun, a howitzer, or whatever it was, and drove off the intruder. "Now, besides the facts in the case. the court mus consider the manner of criminal it has to deal with. X looked at the hands of this man; they were covered with large knots, ac quired in working sixteen to eighteen hours a day. Ho had worked for twenty-eight years to care for himself and family, and had acquired a herd of twenty cattle. "Still, he resisted a government of ficial charged with a certain duty and this court must uphold the honor and dignity cf the United States govern ment. "It is the duty of this court to im pose such a stinging fine that the de fendant and men like him will never commit the offense again. "It is the judgment and sentence of this court that the defendant be fined two cents, without costs." Those in court listened to the judge's concluding remarks with open mouths. Johnson was not present and a bailif and a newspaper reporter split the fine between them. m MORE THAW DELAY Counsel for Both Sides Agree to Jury Hearing Tuesday. New York. June 19.

Little Interest Shown in Stock Trading1 This Week, Copper and Other .Metals Up, Then Down Again. New York. June IS. The week in the stock market was dull and un eventful, trading at all times keeping within moderate bounds and partak ers largely of a professional character. War stocks were again the most ac tive features as a group, but their course was variable with a majority of net declines. Only one issue. Bald win Locomotive. scored a new high record, touching 64. again since last Saturday of 5 points. Coppers and other metals stocks were strong at the outset, on higher prices in the domestic markets, but these shares with kindred issues fell back later on the heavy break for copper in London. The higher prices for certain finished materials in steel and iron were helpful to United States Steel and the shares of less prominen companies. Prominent milroad stocks were regular, with intermittent selling for Kurtipean interests. Passing of the Chesapeake Ohio dividend had no marked effect, such action having been foreshadowed weeks ago. .Shares of other roads whose affairs are pressing towards financial readjust ment were fairly steady. Kasy money continues to be the foremost factor in the general situa tion, rates for all periods including over the year, falling to lower levels. The demoralization witnessed in the foreign exchange market was in its rotential aspect the most important development of the week. The mon eys of virtually all European coun tries moved to higher discounts, there by establishing a higher premium for the American dollar. Further large sums of British gold came from Can ada, but this inflow offered only par tial relief to the delicate interna tional credit situation.

Paola, June 19.- The text of the sons in his search for the murderer- was made public today in the trial I of Hornbaker for the murder of George AIcElheny, the Louisbnrg post master. Attorneys for the state laid stress on the testimony of several witnesses that Hornbaker feared ar rest, and in his conversations on the murder told his confidants not to re port what he told them. One witness, Edward Starry has appeared to whom, however, these instructions were not given. He testified that after Horn baiter had gossiped to him concern ing Mrs. McKlheny's action, he was told to 'jsc his own judgment about testifying. James McKlheny and Mrs. McEl heny, parents of George McElheny, the Louisburg postmaster, with whose murder Roscoe Hornbaker is charged, were the principal witnesses for the state at the afternoon session of the trial of Hornbaker here Friday. Mother Knew of Illicit Love. Mrs. McElheny testified that she had observed an interest manifested by Hornbaker for her son's wife, but had never remonstrated with them or spoken to her son about it. When asked why she had not, she replied: "I have seen too many hemes broken up by the mother-in-laws. I though they were too intimate, but I believed if anything ever happened the blame would be placed on the mother-in-law, sc I kept out." The dead man's father described the scene at his son's house the night of the murder but without resentment toward the man on trial. The mother was more intense in her testimony and when asked if she felt any bitter ness toward Hornbaker she. said: "I do if he killed my son." The mother testified that she had Pt i f lij vuiscuala mausmes. this toother with the older women foli known Hornbaker and had been his friend since his boyhood. A portion of the testimony of Mrs. Maud McElheny, the widow, appar ently was contradicted by the father i r today. The parents lived directly aii-ut UlC Ul6i:i '"Ui UC AX lut, Elheny said, he arose and went to the door at the sound of the shot but re turned to his chair. Soon his grand son brought him the news of his son's death and he ran across the street, finding Mrs. McElheny at the tele phone.

THE TOPFTTA. DAILY STATE JrtTraTTAE SATURDAY EVENING JTJNTT 19, 1915. IT HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA Fay Tincher, Formerly of To peka, Won First Honors For the Most Artistic Bathing Suit at Venice. LONG LINE OF CONTESTANTS Prize Was Awarded by the Mayor of the Town. Los Angeles Turned Out En .Masse to See the Show. Just picture to yourself the board walk of Venice, Cal., the pretty amusement suburb of Los Angeles. Imagine several hundred pretty Cali fornia girls, all of them attired in artistic and fashionable bathing suits, and the mayor of the town and his aldermanic board perched in a gaily decorated stand, with thousands of ribbons, trying to see which of the bathers has the most becoming suit. That was what happened in the southern California resort a few days ago. It was the most wonderful pa rade in Pacific coast history and Los Angeles turned out thousands to see the interesting spectacle. The line of contestants extended for two full city blocks. Each of the maid ens sat in a little electrolier chair which was well decorated. The line moved along the broad beach board walk before a great throng. In the parade were many of southern Cali fornia's greatest motion picture actresses, together with other beautiful women, including Miss Fay Tincher, a Topeka' girl, now leading woman for the Komic (Mutual) branch of pictures. And as Miss Tincher passed the mayor's stand, she smiled rweetly at him. Edward Gerety, the executive official of Venice, began to get inter ested. He closely inspected her cos tume. She was arrayed in a black and white striped suit. Instead of be ing cased in a petticoat, her figure was distinctively clad in a raiment that was snug fitting. It attracted at tention, even at that gay beach resort. It would be a waste of words to say that it was different from anything ever seen in Topeka. Miss Tincher "sported" a pretty patasol and an attractive hat. Her shoes were marvelous, her silk stock ings a dream, according to all reportu sent out. Mayor Gerety awarded first prize to her and probably justly. It was a high honor for the pretty comedienne to be thus recognized. She obtained plenty of newspaper publicity about the matter and pictures of the extra ordinary bathing suit have been spread broadcast. A MUSICAL TREAT. t'liicaco Sunday Evening t'liurch Choir of lOO Voices. Coming. I Tr-liir" v -l4fW 1 1 Fay Tincher, Her Prize Winning liatliiug Suit, and the Mayor of Venice, Cal. The people of Topeka will have an opportunity to enjoy a musical treat on the evening of July 7th, when the Chicago Sunday Evening club choir, numbering 100 trained voices, includ ing six famous soloists, will be heard in concert at the auditorium. cause of the choir's tour to the Pacific coast, where it will be heard at both the Frisco and San Diego expositions. The tour has already arranged for only five stops between Chicago and Denver, when the local society induced the management to give To pekans at least one opportunity to hear the noted organization. AT THE THEATERS. At the Orplicitm. The Orpheum will close Its 1914 1915 season next week with the pre sentation of Hall Caine's immortal novel, "The Eternal City," for the en tire week.

It was produced In modern Koine, under the direction of Edwin S. Potter and Hugh Ford. The Vatican gardens, the Coliseum, St. Peter's Castle of St. Angelo and other historic places were used as the setting for the picture. Furthermore the Orpheum will close after next week for the summer and will open in the fall under the name of the Electric theater. During the summer it will be enlarged and re modeled. The next season it will be on the same circuit with Electric theaters in Kansas City, St. Joseph. Springfield, Joplin and elsewhere. Pictures and vaudeville will be shown. At the Best. The Best theater has arranged to hold the big African hunt pictures for today's showing. This Pathe feature in five reels is truly a wonderful pro duction. Immense elephants, the big ungainly giraffes, birds, crocodiles all are seen to fall under the marks manship of the big game hunters. One scene shows about twenty hippopot ami disporting themselves in the wa ters of the Xile as the hunters creep up. These massive creatures appar ently can move with the speed of a motorboat, and one of the largest is singled out us a mark for the hunt ers' heavy express rifle. Immense flocks of aigrets. scenes in African native villages, pictures taken with telescopic lenses and many other in teresting things are to be seen in this film. At the Cozy. Today the Cozy ends its full week of Chaplin comedies. The feature to day shows the famous comedian in a very laughable series of adventures. Monday and Tuesday the Cozy will have the fifth chapter of "The Dia mond from the Sky," together with its regular program. This feature is 1 really more of a novel than some of the serials that have been shown, and embraces a well defined plot that sus tains interest from week to week. Lot tie Pickford. who plays the leading J role, adds much to a feature that is unique in story, accurate in setting j and excellent in photography.

But the Church has no monopoly on dullness. There was proportionally a3 many dull writers as preachers, or as many dull paint ers or lawyers. And there is one thing which may be got from almost any preacher a reminder that you owe something to humanity. Service seems to be, more than ever before, the keynote of the Church." These are hot bad words from a Newspaper Man. Think as you please about him but you will find the Preacher ready by message and by deed to help put in- spiration into life a glory into human duty and all the time trying to get Heaven down here upon this Old Earth. Then just know the Preacher and know the Church before you "go after" either. Go to Church and See for Yourself? It is a Good Thing Anyway to Go to Church and Go to Church Tomorrow! J .1 II i

NO WEAK OBSEQUIOUSNESS Agrarian Party Leader Takes riinar at America's 'Big Talk.' Sajs Germany Can and Will Hold Out to the End. Berlin, June 19 (via London). The Morgen Post, commenting on a dispatch from Washington to the Co logne Gazette, setting forth that the question of peace is being discussed, says that Americans know full well that the self-constituted peacemaker never is welcome: consequently he is not likely to force his advice where it is not wanted. V. S. Impossible as Arbiter. Dr. Iganz Jasrow, professor of po litical economy in the University of Berlin, discusses in the Tageblatt the impossibility of accepting the United States as an arbiter so long as Amer icans deliver weapons to the oppon ents of Germany. "Inasmuch as every state can forbid the export of arms," the doctor says, "we wonder how Americans can fail to see that this is prolonging the war, and how they can believe it is possible for them to act as peace-mediators." Sees Victory Jespite Drought, Amsterdam, June 19 (via London). Adolph Von Wangenheim, leader of the Agrarian party in the German reichstag, recently discussed the German-American situation in a long speech reported by the Tages Zeitung. a copy of which has been received here. Opening his address with the discussion of the agricultural outlook in Germany, which he stated was not premising owing to the present drought, M. Von Wangenheim said that this would be surmounted, thanks to Germany's superb organiza on. The paper quotes him as con 'inuing: "We can only express on wish one jrpent demand that no leading statesman, perhaps from apprehension of the future which awaits us econom ically, should be induced to conclude a precipitate peace or show weak ob sequiousness as the result of threats from across the Atlantic. Says Germany Will Stick. "Despite the big talk of the United States, we still stick to what we rec ognize as just. We urgently implore the supreme war lord leading the men of Germany to show no weak obse quiousness. We can and will hold out t6 the end." The """orwarts deprecates the tenor of this speech, saying: "It is a link in the chain of irre sponsible maneuvers aiming to force responsible authorities into a course against which all sensible political re flections must warn. th.em.';., Caldwell Mowers at Forbes.

Discussing the statement made by Hugh Jones, owner of the Lincoln club, who said ho would ask the reduction of Presi dent O'Neill'B salary among the meas ures of economy in the Western league, O'Neill said today he would abide by any action of the league. "They can take half my salary, aa Jones proposes, or all of it," said the president, "and I will run the business of the league just the same. The league is welcome to use my own money as well as my salary aa It haa done be fore. It has at different times used $10,000 of mine, and it is welcome to do it again." No date for further discussion of the retrenchment plans has been set President O'Neill said. He is wait ing now for further reports on the proposition put to ball players re garding a cut in their salaries. All Minors May Cat. It was learned here today that the more radical proponents of economi cal measures among the higher class minor league magnates have proposed a combined movement by the leading circuits to reduce salaries and even to curtail the playing season sharply this year. The movement would require action by the A's as the five larger members of the national association are called the International league, the Ameri can association, the Pacific Coast league, and Western and the South ern. Though a proposed meeting of the presidents of these organizations was discussed it was said at the American session here early this week. President Chivington said today he had heard nothing of it. President Johnson of the American league was quoted not long ago as saying some of the minor leagues would better suspend for the season rather than battle against the unusual weather, reported lack of interest and unfavorable times. Certain magnates,, taking their cue from this statement, have advocated extreme measures, but others, believeing that interest is reviving, and that a return of good weather is due are opposed to radi cal action.

SHELF OF ROCKS MARKS WAY Professor Contends That Ani mals Crossed Dryshod. Fossils Similar in Nature Are Found at Both Ends. ft. Johns, N. F., June 19. The gathering of further evidence to sup Pr the theory that there was once a land bridge stretching across the At lantic from Newfoundland to Great Britain and then to Scandinavia is one of the purposes of a geological expe dition from Princeton university which will visit Newfoundland this summer. Similar parties from Princeton have conducted investigations along the southern bays of the island the last three years, and besides obtaining valuable collections of rocks, minerals and fossils, have made discoveries tending to solve various geological puzzles. Prof. Gilbert Vaningen, who has been here with two of the expeditions, found fossils bearing a marked re semblance to those unearthed in Wales and Sweden. This led him to formulate the theory that in prehis toric times it may have been possible for animals to travel on dry land across what now is the Atlantic ocean. He considers that this idea was sup ported by the fact that an under water shelf of rock upon which many telegraph cables have been laid in re cent years, extends across the Atlantic.

Barney Smith, 45 years old, shot himself at 9:30 o'clock Friday night at his home in Perry, Kan., and died at 8 o'clock this morning. He was a day laborer and is survived by a wife and several children. According to his neighbors, Smith has not been in his right mind for several months. At intervals during the past year he has threatened to shoot himself, they say.. Friday he came to Topeka and bought a 38-cal-ibre revolver. When his wife and one son returned to the home last night, he met them at the gate, brandishing the gun. He apparently cooled down, for the son left. A few minutes later passers-by heard Mrs. Smith pleading with her husband and then the shot was fired. He was in the kitchen at the time. The bullet penetrated his breast, go ing clear through his body. He 'an to the front porch and was picked up there. Smith remained conscious to the last, and at midnight there was a slight hope for his recovery, which was dispelled this morning. It is 3aid that ho threatened to kill his wife when he first met her at the front of tho house last night. Smith had lived in Perry for several years. Those who were intimate with Smith say that they have been looking for something of the sort any time during th-i past two months. THEUIVED too high.

We take our f lewent pen in hand on this ospishus occashion to jab the members of the Bingville Board of Trade into a sents of the aw ful responsibilities whitch revolves upon em if possibil, but we per- soom it aint possibil becuz we have jabbed em with our pen on fre quent occashions in the past and it diddent do no good and we calkilate wont do no good this time, but we shall jab jest the same. The tumble human apathy of our Board of Trade members is simply exchrooshiating disgustin in the extreme. What we desire to ask is how can Bingville ever hope to increase and prosper and take her proud place amungst the big metropolusses of the world unless our B. of T. wakes up and does somethink? What has our B. of T. did, for instants? Anser They aint did nothmk for instance or for the town, neither. Why don't our B. of T. wake up and shake the dust offen their feet and advertise Bingville to the out side world as a desirable place for manufackshuring industries to loc kate? How in Sam Hill will enny buddy ever know there is sitch a place as Bingville unless the mem bers of the Board of Trade adver tise that fackt? Like as not there is folks in this country who newer heerd of Bingville and whoze fault is it Its the B. of T.'s fault, thats whoze fault it is Cy Hoskins is chairman of the Bingville Board of Trade and Gid Smalley and Lem Quigly is the rest of it and they don't none of em seem to care a hoot whether Bing ville goze to the dogs or not and that's where it will go unless some thing is did and did soon. Instid of looking after the best interests of Bingville, Cy Hoskins spends his time down to Hen Weathersby's store either drowsin or playin checkers with Hen. Then take Gid nd Lem Gid is so proud sinst he became a grand-dad owing to the fackt that his darter who married Sam Hillyers boy moren a yr. ago recently persented her hus band with a 11 lb. baby boy. Sinst then Gid is so all rapt up in that child that hes clean forgot that there is enny sitch a thing as a is. of T. in Bingville. We desire to call Gids attenshion to the fackt that his grandson aint the only grandson whitch was ever borned into the world, and the sooner he stops agoin up and down street braggin becuz hes a grand dad and does somethink for his native town the better he'll be thunk of. As for Lem Quigly, tother mem ber of the Board, he ackts like as if he was dead in the shell Lems so blamed numb and dooless that he aint got enuff energy to moove over into the shade when the sun gits around where it will strike him. Unless somethink is did and did soon by the Bingville Board, of Trade to attrackt inanufackshurers to Bingville we hereby give notise that it wont be long until we'll rite another red hotter eddytoriul than thissen that will make the fur fly offen the backs of the members of the Bingville Board of Trade. A WORD TO THE WISE ORT TO BE SIFFISHENT? P. S. The trubble is they ain't wise they're numb! Bud Almost Hung Bud Hinckley, who ain't quite right In his head, had a narrer excape from hangin hisself last Thursday and if Bud had as mutch sents as a goose com monly has he wouldn't git ketched in sitch a skrape agin. Bud tuk down his mother's clothes line from the back yard and snuk out to the barn with it where he thort he would play "Brave Fireman," so Bud he clim upon a beam in the barn and tied the rope around it tite and then started to let hisself down to the barn floor about 20 ft by means of the rope, but when he got about haff way down the rope was all snarld up and Bud he got fast in the snarl whitch ketchd him right around the waist and titened on him and Bud got scalrt and let go and the rope went fast around Bud's mid dle and there he hung twixt hewen and earth, as you mite say, with the rope almost squozing the life outen him Bud hollerd like a good feller and finally his mother heerd him hollering and run out to the barn and when she seen Bud hangin there so high that she could est reach his feet she grabbed him by the feet and tride to pull him down on top of her but the rope held fast and only got titer around Bud un til he hollerd loudern ever. Then Mrs. Hillyer left him hangin and run outen the barn addin her hol lers to Bud's hollers until the nabers on all sides rusht to the rescue, among them Ame Hillyer, our talented loryer leggal lite who said it was agin the law to take down ennybuddy who had went and hung hisself without first in forming the coroner at the co, seat 12 miles away. Mrs. Hillyer said her Bud wassent dead and she give Ame a slap rite in the face that sent him home hold ing his fase in his hands. At last Lem Brown, our expert car penter dragged a box under Bud and stood on the box and cut the rope which hung Bud up and Bud fell with a dull sikkening thud right on top of Lem, and then both of em hit the barn floor a turrible crack. After Bud was rescued the Crowd dis perst peacefully to their various homes and duties while Mrs. Hinckley tuk Bud by the scruff of the neck and marched him into the woodshed, clos ing the door after him. While Bud was with his mother in the woodshed she must of lammed him like everything becuz them as heerd him said they thort he hollerd louder in the woodshed than he did when he was suspended by the rope. Fixt the Cockroaches Eph Higgins our accommodating P. M. has had a good eal of trubble in the past with cockroaches eating the glue offen his two cent stamps. Eph says cockroaches dont seem to have no more respeckt for guvverment property than a cat has and hes been at his wits end to know what to do to keep the cock roaches from eatin the stickum offen the stamps until tother day he thort up a skeme and tried it with good sucksess. Eph he tuk some potato bug pizen powder and mixt it with worter and then he painted the sticky sides of all his stamps with this mixtchure. Next morning the P. O. was all lit terd up with dead cockroaches and Eph says he calkilates plzened stamps is a turrible good way to git rid of sitch pests. When Eph told us about it we called his attenshion to the fackt that what effeckt did he spose. that pizen would have on a person who licked the stamps with their mouth to make em stick on a letter? Eph said he haddent newer thort of that, but in his opinion there wassent enuff pizen on jest one stamp to pizen whoever licked it to deth unless of course they licked enuff stamps to mail a duzzen letters or so and as fur as that is concernd nobuddy ever done that in Bingville. To be on the safe side however Eph posted the following notice in the P. O. Beware! My Two Cent Stamps Has Pizen on Em Whoevver Licks Same Does so at Their Own Risk! Bingville P. 0. Eph Higgins, P. M. Country Correspondence SORROW HOLLOW Ab Wood is at present engaged in re pairing the fences on his farm whitch are in a turrible state of repair. We should think the best way to repair Abs fences would be for him to bild new ones being as the old ones aint worth repairing. Miss Phronicia Hunt of this place Sundayed with her sister Mrs Henry Cook over Hardscrabble way last Sun day. Phronicia would of also Mondayed with her sister but she had to git back home Sunday night afore dark to milk her cow and feed the hens.

Although the fenct was only haff whitewarsht when this happend Jim stopt right there and says that fence kin rot for all of him afore he white washes the rest of it.

12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1915. In the Religious World The Enemies to Fear. The International Sunday School Les- on for June 20 la "A Prayer tor the Tempted. Psalm 141. (BY WILLIAM T. KLLIS. As often. -a dual purpose Is set by the International Lesson committee for the present passage. It is a study of a psalm and a treatment of the temperance question. Close students of the uniform lessons have more than once suspected that the committee is careless in its choice of Scripture for the temperance lesson. Certainly this is so in the present psalm, which has never Derore Deen selected for study by the Sunday schools. The most learned critics con fess themselves baffled by this psalm, one of the most difficult in the psalter. So it is not easy to fathom the mental processes of the committee that could offer to the untrained Sun day school teachers and pupils of the world a Scripture portion which is baffling alike to the ordinary reader and to the expert exegetist. If how ever, the fifth, sixth and seventh Verses of the psalm are omitted, or disregarded, the passage becomes clear and helpful. Here is the Psalm itself: "Jehovah. I have called upon Thee: make haste unto me: OiTe ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee. "Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Tbee: The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 'Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth Keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men that work Iniquity And let me not eat of their dainties. "Let the righteous amlte me, it shall be a kindness; And let lil (u reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head: Let not my head refuse It: For even In their wickedness shall my prayer continue. 'Their Judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. "As when one plowetb and cleaveth the earth. Our bones are scattered at the month of Shoel. ?For mine eyes are unto Thee, O Jehovah the Lord In Thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute. "Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me. And from the sins of the workers of in iquity. 'Let the wicked fall into iheir own nets. Whilst that I withal escape." When a Man Needs Help. What plea did the angels hovering over the sinking Lusitania hear rising from the lips of the doomed? The same cry that is rising hourly from human spirits facing Inevitable death, or sorrow worse than death. It is the note that sounds in profoundest literature. It is the theme of all the immortal psalms, and the openins words of the present one the call unto Jehovah for help. In all ultimate hours, man calls upon God. Nobody escapes this need. The spirit of mortals turns toward the Infinite. In times of distress, as a little child cries for its mother. That is the keynote of this lesson. When down, look up, where God waits to help. The Lord of all the universe is not too high to care for the welfare of a single human spirit. God hears and answers prayer. Whatever emer gency is great enough to vex the spirit of men Is also great enough to claim the attention of God. When a man breaks a leg, or his house burns down, or his business goes to smash, friends rush to his aid. But in the worse troubles of life, when his heart is burdened and an guished, when his manhood is threat ened, when his faith seems blinded, when in desolation of spirit he cries aloud in the silent, lonely hours, then he rarely has a friend to succor him. Indeed, men commonly hide these greater woes beneath smiling coun tenances. The real troubles of life are spirit ual. Write that down large. The state of the human spirit is of vastly more concern than the condition of material prosperity. We best help the world when we help men in the things of their soul. Iron the lines of anguish out of human spirits and you remedy most of the ills of society. All's well "if your heart keeps right." So the psalmist's plea is unto Jehovah for succor in spiritual distress. All over the world. In Christian and non-Christian religions, incense is used as a symbol of prayer. It rises in a cloud like the desires of human hearts. The figure, often employed in the Bible, is a beautiful one, for the fragrance of the burnt incense is rep resented as well pleasing to God. He who prays offers the sweetest incense before the altar of God. Everybody's Particular Peril. A clergyman from the south was visiting the Billy Sunday tabernacle in Philadelphia. Like several thou sand others, he remained in the build ing between the meetings; and while waiting for the evening service to be gin, he noticed that the man along side of him put something into his mouth every ten minutes or so. Clearly it was not tobacco, and at last my friend's curiosity got the better of him, and he said, "Would you mind telling me what you are eating?" Turning a smiling face to him, the other made answer, "Oh, these are peppermint lozenges. You see. I'm a trail hitter. I used to be a hard drink er. And peppermint lozenges help take away the appetite for booze. Why, I know one fellow who ate four teen pounds of peppermint lozenges in two weekB." That man recognized his own pe culiar temptation, and he tried his best to co-operate with God in meet ing it. The writer of his psalm knew that his mouth was his danger point, so he cried, "Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips." There is nothing like being specific in dealing with one's own temptation. A woman once said to Moody, "Mr. Moody, how can I cure myself of the habit of exaggeration?" "Call it ly ing, madam; call it lying," replied the hard-headed evangelist. Let us pray to be saved from sins definitely named. "O God, deliver me from the love of money." Or, "Help me. Lord, to quit my mean and slanderous gos siping." Or, "Lord, enable me to be polite and considerate In my own home." Or, "Almighty God, clean up my foul mind." Or, "Lord Jesus, save me from the sin of unlovingness." May we not at least be as candid and clear In our praying as the psalmist of old? Past Sins a Present Menace. Every past sin is an ally of present 1 temptation. All the knowledge of evil that the former years have left with us as a heritage, rises up to hinder us in our fight for personal righteous ness. The psalmist prayed that his heart might not be inclined to prac tice deeds of wickedness. He would like to escape the clutches ol the past. It would mean more to the world than all the Carnegie and Kockefeller benefactions combined if that one tre mendous truth could only be driven home to youth. The deeds of folly done today manacle us for tomorrow. An appalling number of men are not free to follow the bidding of their best manhood and fight for truth and pa triotism, because they are not free. The devil has a collar and chain on them. Recently I met a shifty-eyed man who once was nationally discussed. He had had a rare and wonderful op portunity to serve the people. Seldom is a patriot given such a chance. But this man suddenly and mysteriously collapsed. He sat silent when he should have stood up and spoken. His hand was held back in the very act of striking a blow for righteousness. The reason was simple: The man's past was not clean. He was not free. Former offences were held up as a menace. He had lost his power to bear witness to the truth. God pity him, for no fellow being can under stand the torment of his soul. Would that the dying words of John B. Gough could resound in the ears of every young person about to make his first serious misstep: "Young man. keep your record clear." There is no asset for a noble life equal to a noble youth. Be clear today if you would conquer tomorrow. In the matter of temperance, it is the man who does not drink at all, and who never has drunk, who has no difficul ty or embarrassment In refusing to drink. Recognizing the Enemy. A mushy maudlin type of literature s prevalent in our day, which recog nizes no evil and assures us that ev erything is lovely, in this world and the next. Strong, sound thinking per sons revolt from this sort of teachings because it does not square with their own knowledge of actual life. The psalms ring true. They admit the presence of enemies and tf wicked men. Their prayer is to Jehovah against these scheming, plotting. vengeful men. The snares of the wicked were real to David and his I fellow psalm writers. And they are real today. Anybody who has ever incurred the hostility of a corrupt political ring, or of the whisky crowd, can recite the closing verses of our lesson psalm with feel ing, and give picturesque details. It is unfair to youth to send it rortn into the world In the blind assump tion that virtue will meet no ene mies, but only friends. To be able to recognize our enemies, and to be prepared to meet and do battle with them, is a prime requirement in the tournament of life. One thing bigger than this. though, was known to the psalmist. He perceived the presence and wiles of Ins enemies but he also saw God. His faith in Jehovah was greater than his fear of foes. That faith has been warranted by history. God is greater than all the cohorts, of sin and Satan. The ultimate victory is with righteousness. The supreme teaching of the lesson is simple trust in God who answers prayers. Woman's Xew Day. Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People's Societies Christian En deavor, Etc. For June 20. "Christ's Call to the Young Women of To day." Luke 10:38-42. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) "New occasions teach new duties." This is often called the woman's era. Certainly the interests and activities and opportunities of women have ex tended beyond anything our grand mothers ever dreamed. For good or for ill, old limitations are gone, never to return. The place of woman in the economic and social system has tremendously changed. This is one of the great facts about the twentieth century. Possibilities that dazzle the imagination are before young women of this our time. But if they accept only their increased liberties. this may be a sad development for womanhood. Women who are great enough to lead their sex into their highest heritage are a need of the hour. As of old, Christ is still calling women to find the fullest possible ex pression of her life in His fellowship and in His service. The world is led by its women; blessed is the world when its women follow Christ. We put our finger on the acuto point of the modern women question when we ask ourselves whether wom anhood, under the new conditions, is more spiritual or more carnal than formerly. If. as some signs indicate, women have become more restless, more pleasure-loving, more extrava gant, more devoted to dress and ex citement and appetite and to tho day's kaleidoscopic fashions, then the change has been bad. If the lower. lesser ideals engross the awakened womanhood of the world, then all hu manity suffers. The bent of woman's mind indicates the course and char acter of civilization's progress: for now, as ever, woman's work has been the determining of ideals. If, on the other hand, as many women contend, the modern awakening of the sex has made for higher idealism, a true con cern for spiritual values, a more in telligent and devoted domesticity and maternity, then all ages and condi tions of men and women have reason to rejoice with great joy. If we may credit those who declare that women are now emerging into a nobler, Christlier sense of human sisterhood and solidarity, and into a solicitude for the higher standards of national and civic and family life, then we can have only words of welcome for the feminist movement. I would not sit In judgment: every woman must an swer for herself whether the modern progress is forward or backward. Cer tainly this test is sure and invariable: Whatever makes women more spirit ual and Christlike in their own lives is of God, and for the good of the race. The call to character echoes in every call to Christ. Every response to the Bummons of the Saviour is an ascent. Woman's oldest and latest work, and forever her highest, is shaping human souls. God has no higher work in all the world for any of His minis ters than this. Up through the farthest lands of light. Glory and power and peace unpriced. His love be with you, to the height of womanhood complete In Christ Mabel Earle. Once it was woman's sole work to stay by the stuff. Her sphere was her home. The opportunities open to men were denied her. Even under these conditions many women came to greatness of character and service. It remains to be seen whether the new order will produce so many true ly great women. Nevertheless, in this day there are many new doors of op portunity for Christian service open to young women, as teachers, nurses, physicians, deaconnesses, social ser vice workers, missionaries. Young Women's Christian Association secre taries, executives, artists and bo forth. Any woman of grit and capability who wants a "career" may have it. But a mission is ever nobler than a career. The best things must always be fought for. A woman'.s spirituality is daily beset by insidious perils. Only by assiduous attention to the inner life, and by a mind alert, like Mary's, to perceive spiritual opportunities, can a woman preserve that "better part" which Jesus praised. More women have been called by Christ to establish Christian homes, and more women have been honored by Him in this high service, than in any other calling. God made woman to be a helpmeet for man: and God's idea of a career for a woman has not yet been improved upon. One of the great and eloquent pic tures of womanhood is that of Jenny Lind, the peerless singer, sitting by the seaside at sunset, with her Bible on her knee. A friend asked her why she had given up her glorious career as a public singer, in the very zenith of her success. The great-souled wom an replied that she found that the life on the stage, the applause and the ex citement, was making her care less for this laying her hand upon the Bible; and for this pointing to the beautiful sunset. Seeing her spirit in peril, she was brave enough to turn her back upon the world's glamour, and to seek the sweet rewards of the spiritual life. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that rea news or ganization, for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received in The Stata Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur MEMF.EH: Associated Picas. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. HOME .ES WHILE A WAT. Subscriber of the State Journal away from home during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each da to any address at the rate of ten rents A week or thirty rents a month (by mail only). Ad dress changed as often as desired While eut of town the State Journal will be to yea like a daily letter from heme. Advance payment Is requested en these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeep leg expenses. Nor does there appear to be much more danger of the fish In Kansas go ing thirsty this summer as they have occasionally in the past. Incidentally, this is also a mighty poor season for the professional rain makers, those funny fellows who send licmM into the skies with small bal loons and practice other witchery. William Waldorf Astor, one of the few expatriated Americans who ap pears to be proud of that fact, con tinues to labor diligently for a Brit ish title. He has just contributed S100.000 to the English Red Cross funds. Topeka has enjoyed an average of a half-inch of rain a day for the past 81 days. And this, it would seem no more than reasonable to urge, is rain a-plenty for a week or so. But there is no way of stopping it if more wants to fall. It would alsoappear that our new policy towards the Mexlcon situation is rather leisurely in its progress to assuming a definite and decisive form. Matters appear to be running along In Mexico in the same old way, and if the leaders of the several military fac tions there are concerned in an effort to get together they are proceeding about this business in an unusual way. It would be interesting to know if the conditions in the Kansas peniten tiary coal mine, the physical condi tions, as it might perhaps be proper to classify them, are any rottener to day than they were two or three years ago. As a matter of fact, and over and above the conditions now prevail ing in it, the operation of this mine as a part of its penal system Is and al ways has been a disgrace to the state. This Lieague-to-Enforce-Peace idea that has been formally launched with ex-President Taft at the helm appears to be working along the right lines, but it can become effective only If .a preponderant majority.or force of the major nations of the world subscribe to it. And the rub will come In get ting their signatures to the compact. But there are huge difficulties in the road of any kind of a world-peace program. Billy Sunday's erstwhile fellow laborer in the evangelical vineyard declares that all of his former chiefs best and most powerful sermons orig inated either with "Gypsy" Smith, Talmage. or "Sam" Jones. And while it is always good policy to discount to some extent the observations of a sore-head, this gent ought to know what he is talking about. Neither are his disclosures likely to surprise many folk; Over in Greece they appear to be about as slow in counting the votes cast at a general election as we are in Kansas. Greece held such an election on June 13, and while the election turned on a possible change in the personnel of Greek officialdom, or a change of government, it practically involved a decision by the people as to whether or not their nation should enter the war. But the result of this election, and on such an important question, is not yet known. ObD-FASHIOXED REMEDIES. Diet, pure food, pure air and less worry constitute the favorite prescrip tion of doctors in this progressive day, says Leslie's. And we are having a revival of the old-fashioned remedies of our mothers and grandmothers who depended upon nature's herbs for most of their medicines. Never be fore has there been such a demand for pennyroyal, peppermint, wintergreen, gold-thread and other simple remedies of the old days and all of these enter into numerous popular medicaments. Now comes the discovery that by a careful refining of crude oil, a taste less, colorless product can be evolved that will act as an internal lubricant for the human system. This was a Russian medical discovery and the oil received the name of "Russian OH." It was obtaining world-wide fame when the war broke out and inter fered with our foreign trade. Ameri can ingenuity met the demands of the emergency and replaced Russian Oil with a product from the laboratories of our own chemists. So with Na ture's herbs and the products of Na ture's distillation. Providence admin isters its healing remedies to suffer ing mankind and leaves less for the doctors to do. When one is in Rome, etc. Many of the German residents of England have joined in a protest against the "barbarous acts of the German gov ernment in the conduct of the war." WHEAT PRICES. So enormous is the wheat crop acre age and the wheat crop prospect in this country for- this year, that it savors of the ridiculous to urge- that the reports of the damage that might be done to crop by the storms of a single night in scattered sections of the country are sufficient reasons for sending the price of wheat up in the wheat exchanges. There are other reasons for such an upward movement of wheat prices, and the speculators probably know what they are. Maybe this gentry has begun to realize that they will be biting off their own noses if they force the price of wheat down to an unreasonably low figure. Most of them have contracts for the deliv ery of large quantities of wheat in September and perhaps sooner, and if the wheat prices are such in the im mediate future as to make the wheat farmers reluctant to place their new grain on the market, the speculators would be forced to stand disastrous losses. And the European belligerents and their newspapers seem, to be treating Mr. Bryan's suggestions for bringing the war to an end with a silence that must be painful to the Nebraskan. OUR PHILIPPINE TRADE. Trade seems to follow the flag, all right. The United States in the fiscal year, 1914, for the first time supplied more than one-half of the imports into the Philippine Islands, namely, 51 per cent, as against 14 per cent in 1904. The imports into those islands in 1914, according to official figures published by the Insular Bureau of the war department and reprinted in the Statistical Abstract of the United States, included 128,572,000 worth of merchandise from the United States and $27,440,000 from other countries, while in the same year those islands sent to this country $22,047,000 worth of merchandise, as against $29,191,000 sent to other countries. Statistics cov ering a later period and including nine months ending with March, 1915, published by the department of com merce through the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, indicate a marked decrease in shipments to the Philippine Islands from the United States and a considerable increase in value of their shipments to this coun try when compared with the same pe riod one year ago. The value of ship ments from the United States to the Philippine Islands in the nine months ending with' March was $16,434,000, as against $21,448,000 in a like perlntl of last year, and shipments from those islands to the United States in the ten months of the current year were valued at $18,984,000, as against $12,238,000 last year. Cotton goods head the list of articles shipped from the United States to the Philippine Islands, their toral for the calendar year 1914 being $6,C82,000, compared with $4,205,000 for iron and steel manufactures; $1,616,000 for mineral oils; $1,227,000 for leather and manu factures thereof; and $1,139,000 for breadstuffs. Next in order of import ance are paper and. manufactures thereof, $715,000; cars and carriages, chiefly automobiles, $66,000; ex plosives, $623,000; meat and dairy products, $621,000; chemicals and drugs, $524,000; soap, $440,000; india rubber manufactures, $429,000; lum ber and other wood, $427,000; electri cal machinery and instruments, $395, 000; fish, $376,000; tobacco manufac tures, $282,000; coffee. $248,000; re fined sugar, $204,000; vegetables, $197,000; coal. $184,000; and fruits, $171,000. Manila hemp, sugar, vege table oils, copra, and manufactures of tobacco are the most important arti cles imported into the United States from the Philippine Inlands. Financing the Great War appears to be the easiest feature of its conduct and maintenance. Great Britain Is about to float another war loan total ing $1,750,000,000. IS THERE OTHER LIFE LIKE OUR We are the product not only of our own personal environment, but also of the environment of all the generations of man that have ever existed, writes Hudson Maxim, in the Touth's Com panion, and he continues: In order, therefore, that any other world should be Inhabited with beings like us, the original nebula from which that other solar system sprang would have had to have the same mass as the original nebula from which our solar system sprang. Moreover, the celestial bodies that cooled would have had to be identical in temperature, mass, and velocity with the bodies that collided to produce the nebula from which our solar system came. That earth would have had to be thrown off at the same time that ours was. Further more, the sun in that solar system would have had to be hit with me teorites of the same number, mass, and velocity as those that have hit our sun; for the mass and impact of all the meteorites that have plunged into our sun since nebula time has very materially influenced the heat that the earth has received. Finally, there would have had to be on that other earth virtually the same distribution of land and water, because the sise and arrangement of continents and islands, rivers and seas on our earth have had an important part in shaping the hu man race. If the letters needed to print the Lord's Prayer were picked out of a font of type, shaken up in a bag, and then dumped helter-skelter upon a printer's "stone," the chance that in falling they would assemble themselves in the Lord's Prayer would be as great as the chance is that there ia nvwhprf within the range of the telescope another world inhabited by heinca lik ourselves. It is not im probable, however, that there are many worlds peopled with beings botn inferior and superior to ourselves, but they must be as differen rom us as the worlds they inhabit are different from ours. Journal Entries Good advice is the kind you give. People are never very interesting when they have to try hard to be that way. The real financier is the individual who can do a lot with a little money. One of the biggest victories a man can win is to establish control over himself. Wn. m-nr crmwn-lin whn Was wholly satisfied with his or her given name Jayhawker Jots Etiouette note. in the Bonner Springs Chieftain: No lady will trim her corns with her husband's razor. Theatrical note, in the Minneapolis Messenger: When a cyclone gives a performance it always brings down the house. As the Hamilton Grit sings or sighs: You may paint, you may powder as much as you will, but the age of the woman will show through it still. He took her ltttle hand in his. prose poems the Lynn County Republican, his love was hot a sizzin. and when she didn't jerk it back, he knew that she was his'n. It is a pretty safe guess, suggests the Beloit Call, that when a fellow ac costs you as "brother," "bo," or "pal," or some other pet name that he is more familiar with asking alms than he is with work. A Toronto small boy turned the ta bles on his daddy in this wise, tells Mrs. Kelley, in the Toronto Republi can. He had been naughty, and his father thought to work upon his sym pathy by telling him that every time a little boy is bad it puts a gray hair in his father's head. Son glanced at the few gray hairs that evidently lay to his credit, and backed off, a grow ing horror in his eyes. "Why, Papa! Grandpa's head is gray all over!" Observations by the Marysville Advocate-Democrat: Women who do fancy work, as a rule don't fancy work. There is not much waist material in the party dresses of to day. The way of the transgressor may be hard but it is never lonesome. Even good intentions are too much cf a burden for some men to carry. The woman who can go to church in a last year's hat is truly religious. The man who is always telling you how much he does for others needs watching. Usually the people who make the most imposing show impose on others in order to make them. Some new slides shown by the Lindsborg News' Vitascope: Smile a little, even if it produces wrinkles. A circus advertisement is to a boy what a fashion plate is to a woman. When trouble comes wise men take to their work; weak ones to the woods. Forgetting favors some times seems to be as chronic an ail ment as remembering wrong is. A woman who plays with fire at twenty is apt to be kept busy putting salve on her wounds at forty. Because a girl is smart in other re spects is no sign that she will show good judgment in the choice of a hus band. There're always breakers ahead when a man who draws an un bleached muslin salary marries a hem stitched woman. Globe Sights BT THE ATCHISON GLOBE. Try to be a booster without being a liar. Society always shocks those who are not in it. Every person believes in one-sided reciprocity. Every man knows what he would do if he were president. A pleasing conversationalist is one who converses very little. What has become of the old fash ioned Joke about folding beds? After one has hurried all day, it is hard to refrain from eating that way. All come people do is planning red hot campaigns that are never made. You probably don't object to sensa tional news as long as it does not in volve you. Don't be too set in your opinions, for you might want to change them some day. After the ax falls it develops that more than half the people were watch ing for it. You must learn to appreciate sev eral varieties of fun if you hope to enjoy life. While you are seeking for the Mean est Man or Woman in the town look into the looking glass and then sit down and think it over. When you return to the old home town for a vacation you naturally ex pect the home paper to say that you have been doing well in a business way. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. J A kiss may be a reward or a pun ishment. And some people are too Intellectual to be intelligent. Dyspepsia is the mother of many a disagreeable disposition. It sometimes happens that the vic tory is not worth the price. An excellent way to flatter a woman is to keep still and listen. A wonder lasts nine days but a woman's curiosity goes on forever. Every time two women go to a mov ie together they call it a theater party. There's more power in a woman's tears than there is in a man's argu ment. Tell your troubles to your friends if you would know how weak their sym pathy really is. If you want to study human nature don't patronize a correspondence school. Watch your neighbors. Most old bachelors are hard to please; they don't even think a girl baby is fit to kiss until she is sweet 16. On the Spur of the Moment BT ROY K. MOCLTON. The Of flceseeker. I am the officeseeker. I flatter and I smirk, I want a soft position; I do not like to work. I've done naught for my country, I never went to war; But it owes me a living. That's what a country's for. It matters not what party Wins out and takes the game; I think that I'm entitled To some job, just the same. I'm always in the forefront. And that's the bet that's best;; Of course there may be others. But I'm the champion pest. Uncle Abner. Miss Amy Pringle says a show ain't any good unless it kin make her cry, and any show that kin squeeze a tear out of an old veteran like Amy, who has been engaged nineteen times, is certainly some show. Many a feller thinks he is in love, but it is only because he has sausage and buckwheat cakes for breakfast and his digestion is poor. There ain't any spot in the road where any old feller who voted for Sam Tilden can't tell you all that is worth knowing about the political situation, whether it is true or not. Doc Hanks of our town guarantees to extract teeth without pain that is, without any pain to himself. Purty soon there will be a different brand of cut plug tobacker fer every fellow that smokes. It may be necessary some day to call a special session of congress to amend the ten commandments and the amendment will probably get a few votes at that. It is gettin' so that bell ringers don't draw very well anywhere exceptin' on th' kerosene circuit and th' time was when bell ringin' was the highest form of theatrical entertainment. There hasn't been a man arrested for speedin' with, a bicycle for twenty years and the police court used to be full of 'em. The main difference between a liv ery stable and a garage is that a fel ler used to be able to stand off a liv ery stable feller once in a while. Next to playin" a bass drum with a minstrel show band, the hardest job I know is tryin' to run a metropoli tan newspaper in a jerkwater town. Men in other professions have perk ed up a bit, but you never see a book agent without a shiny frock coat and a string necktie. Hand It to Him. When the day is dark and gloomy, and affairs are going wrong. And there hasn't been a smile all day and joy's beneath the ban.

An Ode to the Sultan of Turkey. For he is a jolly good fellow. He is a Jolly good fellow. He is a jolly good fellow Which nobdy will admit. Evening Chat BY RUTH CAMERON. A Reconstructed Life. "Or watch tho things you gave your life to broken. And stoop and build 'em up again with worn out tools." Kipling. Some day I'd like to write a book on heroes and heroines I have known. To be sure. Jack Binns of wireless. and Captain Barker of North Pole fame, are the only two heroes in the common sense of the word that I have met, but that isn't the kind I mean. I mean the heroes and heroines of a seven routine days in the week ex istence, the dauntless folks who face life instead of facing death. I wonder which takes the more in trepid spirit to face: a million pin pricks, or one shell from a cannon? No, on second thoughts, I don't wonder And when I write this book, among its characters will be the family who built over their life. To lose an only son, a man in the full prime of young manhood, hon ored, respected and loved by the whole community, is an earthquake of the heart and soul. I know there must be some who read who have undergone such a loss, and I know that no matter how old the wound it will ache at these words. But listen! Suppose you had lost two such sons, suppose they were all the boys you had, and suppose you lost them both in one day by a needless tragedy! Do you think you could go on liv ing after that? Do you think you could deliberate ly leave the old home which suggested sorrow too poignantly and build the new home you had planned with the lost ones, believing that they were watching you and would be glad? Do you think you could learn to smile again, could make yourself to take a genuine interest in the doings of the day, could make yourself a cherished friend of both old and young, and your home a pleasant, peaceful place to which people liked to come to lose their weariness and unrest? Do you think you could be always remember ing to do kind things for everyone? In short, do you think you could reconstruct a beautiful, and in its way. a peacefully happy life on such ruins? And if you did all that, don't you think you would deserve to be enrolled among the heroes whose courage in facing life is full as great as the cour age that faces death? I do. And if I were a man I think I should feel like taking off my hat whenever I passed that home. It is not that thev have forgotten, or tried to forget. Far from it. It is because they always remem ber and love and hope. It is because they have always seen the star shine through their cypress trees that they have had the courage and faith to re construct a life. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Do you believe in permitting chil dren to have pets? R. A. J. Certainly. Just think of the hap piness and pride a child gets out of the ownership of a cat or rabbit. The boy who grows up petlesa Is a pa thetic creature. A man whose father had never let him have a dog asked me if a dog was angry or pleased when he wagged his tall. (Fact!) Don't let a little child have a kitten and maul it. Choose an amiable breed for a dog and let the child feel the responsibility for feeding and car ing for his pet. Of course you take some chances from ill temper or in sanity on the part of the pet, but proper care minimizes them. KOSKMARI FOB REMEMBRANCE. When I would go a-walkiug In springtime on the green As other hearty lade may do With loves to look and lean. There is a hand, a wasted hand That slips our hands between. And when I bend above you And lean to touch yonr lips. Another face is lifted As the white heron dips, When all the sailor lads come home W ho man the lonely ships. And were we two together Too close to breathe or stir. With stars our wakeful candles Upon strewn boughs of fir, I could not lie beside you And not remember her. Willard Wattler, in June Smart Set. The Evening Story The Heart of a Rose. (By Elinor Gale.) Rose Staples stood in her bedroom window looking down at the pair sit ting under the great beech tree. Her aunt, charming in a cool white gown, was pouring tea for Captain Garth. The captain's straw hat was on the grass and the sunshine flick ered on tho silver streaks in his dark hair. Except for the silver hair, one might have taken George Garth to be a very young man, so lithe was his form, so light his step, so youthful his heart. Rose knew him to be just twice her own age that was forty. And Aunt Angela was almost forty and she was so lovely that Rose felt a pang of jealousy as she watched them. Garth was leaning forward in the wicker chair, his' eyes fixed on An gela's fair face. He was talking Rose often wondered what topic it was they found so interesting. They always grew silent when she ap proached and they changed the sub ject to tennis and motoring and the newest books. "I wonder they don't talk to me about dolls," thought Rose rebel liously. She glanced into the mirror and saw that her pink linen frock was vastly becoming in combination with brown eyes and bronze-brown hair and golden tipped lashes. She went out to the tea table and, as she expected, Aunt Angela changed the conversation to the forthcoming society circus at the Country club. Presently the elder woman excused herself and went into the houae. "Take me to see the roses," sug gested Captain Garth. "He is bored with me!" thought Rose, but she swallowed her pique and led the way to the rose garden. When they reached the shade of the pergola the captain turned his hand some blue eyes down upon his com panion. "I would like one rose from the garden," he said in an odd tone. "One rose?" repeated the girl. "You may have a dozen if you wish!" She reached for a cluster of pink ram blers. But his strong brown hand caught hers and held it close to his heart. "You are the rose I want," he said gently. "I?" she faltered, only half under standing. "You. Is is so incredible that I should love you?" he smiled down at her. What evil spirit whispered to Rose that i perhaps Aunt Angela had re fused George Garth and he was offer ing her his damaged heart? Surely, he had not made love to Rose according to youth's romantic dreams. His proposal was so sudden and unexpected.. With a throbbing heart Rose pushed him away from her and cried: "Oh, I'm afraid you've made a mis take!" She ran away to her own room and faced her flushed reflection in the glass. "He has made a mistake," she told herself. "It is Aunt Angela he loves he is only flirting with me. I hate him!" Poor Rose, who could not recognize love when it came knocking at her heart! There were many months when Captain Garth did not appear at Pine Grove. His ship was ordered to Asiatic waters and Rose noticed that Aunt Angela frequently received foreign-looking letters. "I was right!" Rose assured her self, but her unruly heart ached for the love she had denied it. Angela studied the letters closely. Sometimes she smiled over them, and once she hurriedly left the room in tears. It was all a great mystery to Rose, who lived alone in the big house with Angela. There was much company and music and pleasure, but both aunt and niece seemed to be living under a great strain of anxiety. June came around again and An gela took to watching the gates. "She expects him," thought Rose, who knew that he had been ordered home. One night when the rose garden was fragrant with the incense from a thou sand blossoms, the dew was falling and the cool moonlight flooded the open spaces. Rose stepped into the pergola. At the remote end a man, tall and j straight, was standing, and in his j arms was Aunt Angela. "He has come!" thought Rose. i She turned and ran toward the house. Her eyes were blinded by tears and she could scarcely see the way, so that she ran right into the arms of George Garth, who was com ing across the lawn. "Oh!" she cried sharply, "you? I Just saw you there in the pergola with Aunt Angela." "Oh, no!" he chuckled. "You saw my brother Charlie. He and Angela have been sweethearts for years. There was a misunderstanding and Charlie lost himself in the orient; been exploring Tibet, I believe. I promised Angela I'd try to locate him this, time and I did brought him home, in fact. He has suffered as well as Angela. I am glad for them." Rose was still in his arms. "It is a long time to keep you wait ins for me rose." she whispered. "Not when it's the rose of ;fiy neart." he declared gallantly. (Copy right, 1915. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Our Maple Sugar Crop. The maple trees of the nation pro duce 47,000.000 founds of maple sugar annually about half a pound for each person. And the demand for the product, it is estimated, is ten times greater than the supply. De spite this fact, statistics show that less than half of the trees available for the purpose are utilized. This means that a good many farmers throughout the country and Indiana is no ex ception to the rule are neglecting to take advantage of an important source of income. The season for sugar making is at hand, and the farmer might note that it comes at a time when there is little other work to claim his attention. He might take this into consideration, too, as he adds young trees from time to time to his wood lot. Convinced now, as most farmers are, of the value of the wood lot, it ought to be only a short step further to the realization that, by judicious selection of varie ties of trees planted, it can be made to yield a revenue Doth in spring and in autumn. A combination of sugar maples and nut trees would produce the desired result and be worth more in the long run than the plantation set out for the sole purpose of producing fence posts. Science has turned its inquisitorial eye more than once on the sugar tree, but, so far. has failed to solve its mys tery. Investigation has merely record ed certain facts; it has not explained them. It is known, for instance, that the sugar maple is far more particu lar than the uninitiated suspect. For its sap to flow, nights must be cool, clear and still, with the temperature at least 10 degrees below freezing; the days must be warm and sunny, with the temperature rising to 30 degrees above freezing, and, finally, there must be a fall of rain or of snow after four or five successive days of such weather or the sap will cease to flow. But there is hardly more of a mys tery here than there is in the fact that the farmer who has the trees to tap fails to tap them. He needs no dem onstration to prove to him that the weather conditions favorable for the flow of sugar sap are favorable for little work about the farm. And he needs, surely, no reminder that an eager and profitable market awaits the product. Why, then, only half the product available is collected and why half of this natural resource is wasted is perplexing to the ordinary mind. Indianapolis News. QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

BLUET BLACKBIRD All the time that Mr. and Mrs. Reddy Squirrel were finding and mak ing their new home in the park, Bluey Blackbird was exploring and eetting acquainted with the new place. "Dear me!" he exlaimed to himself after he had taken a brief look around, "I'm sorry that I never came here before! Such big trees and such fine soil! There should be very good eating here!" He darted down to the turf and dug himself a fine meal, then he flew over to the little lake for a drink. Just as he was poised for a drink on the edge of the lake lie noticed across the water a queer new sight. A flock of birds ducks, chickens? What could they be? Bluey was about to go over and make their acquaintance when whirr-r-! Quick as a flash, they took wing and all few over in his direction! Oh, dear, but Bluey was frightened! For like many an other bully, Bluey was brave only when there was no danger. He didn't wait for a second look, he didn't even think about a drink; he sprang into the air and flew away, away to the highest tree he could find There he stopped to get his breath and to see what had become of the great birds. They were nowhere to be seen! He looked to the right and to the left, up and down and all around, but not one of those strange birds could he see! "That's queer." he said to himself, "I wonder who they were?" "Who?" asked his cousin. Dusky Blackbird, who happened to stop on the tree just then, "who are you won dering about?" "Those great birds that were down by the lake a minute ago," replied Bluey, "they certainly did give me a start! Very dangerous creatures, are thev not?" he added, for he didn't want Dusky to get the idea that he was timid without good cause. "Dangerous?" asked Dusky in a puzzled voice, "who in the world can von mean? There are no dangerous birds in the park. I don't know what j you are talking about." j Bluey huffed himself up in his usual i style and felt very important. "Think of that," he said to himself in a grati- fied tone, "here this stupid Dusky has lived all his life in this park for all I I know! And he is not observing enough to discover what I, with my bright eyes can see in an hour. Too bad to i be so stupid! I am thankful that I, at least, have some sense! I can re flect credit in the blackbird family if he doesn't!" And he huffed and he puffed and he blew himself up big and I Kansas Comment THE SOIL THEIR SALVATION. Increased colonisation in the United States will be a result of the overflow from Europe when the war closes. Broken fortunes will have to be mended and many will be glad to leave the scenes of present woe. It is likely that the United States and South America will be the object ive of the most stupendous exodus from the Old World in its history. Into this nation's polyglot of races will come every European type with his virtues and his vices. In a few years he will either assimilate or be destroyed. That is the law of a na tion such as this. He must breathe tnis nation's atmosphere or stifle. This increased immigration will be attracted to the unsettled portions of the United States. They will brings their European methods of intense farming. Th-; husbandmen will bring frugality and thrift. Given an oppor tunity, these strangers to our shores will do much in building up the wast places. In this adjustment to a new environment there will be no danger. But for those who choose the cities and the struggle to exist on their meager savings there, there is a dan ger. The country is the place for the new comers. The government should provide a way for them to secure farms. Salina Journal. From Other Pens ALASKAN CHANCES. It is well to sound a note of warning to the overenthusiastic, who, now that work is reported to be plentiful in Alaska, are planning to join the rush to that golden land. The proposed government railroad will give employ ment to large numbers, but probably to but a small fraction of those who will seek labor. Work will not be plentiful, gold does not cover the enrth, nor lie around in every gulch, a many dreamers picture. The man who goes there prepared to suffer se verest hardships, to labor dilipently and faithfully, eaily and late, who car ries with him a determination to play the game on the square with himself and his new country of promise, who abides by that determination through weal and woe, will be well repaid. It takes a strong man to do all those things. To him Alaska beckons, but to the weakling or the quitter, it turns a cold shoulder. Cleveland Press. CHINA'S EXPERIENCE. "We are ashamed and humiliated, but our weakness invited insult." These words, frankly spoken by Presi dent Yuan Shi Kai of China, are re spectfully submitted for the considera tion of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Daniels and other gentlemen who believe that iia- tional honor and territorial integrity need only the protection of a clear conscience and a kindly smile for the world. China knows by experience the folly of unpreparedness. It has put the pacifist policy to a test, and offers to the world the warning of its own sad case. When a man with out a gun has been done to death by rogues, it is doubtless consoling to re call his clear conscience and his kind ly smile, but the recollection does not make him any less a corpse. Pre paredness for defense might preserve the conscience and the smile for longer and more useful functioning. Chicago Post. EXPLORES THE PARK. grand. Dusky watched him curiously. "Who can you mean?" he said again. "I know every bird in the park and I never saw one that was dangerous. You must be dreaming!" "Dreaming!" squacked Bluey in dis gust, "don't you suppose I know dan ger when I see it? I tell you these were great, huge, dangerous animals! That's what they were!" Then, with a sudden rush of courage he added, "you just come back this way with me and I'll show you who they are and then you'll be frightened too!" ("And then if they see him, they can chase "Those are friends of mint those are the tamed wl Id ducks.' him and I can run away to safety." Bluey explained to himself.) Dusky was quite willing to go and investigate, so away the two birds flew. Over the tree tops to the lake they went and there right where he expected to find them, were tho great birds! "There they are!" cried Bluey excitedly. "Just as I told you! And to inins you never saw tnem before dear me. but you are stupid!" "Oh, those." said Dusky calmly, "those are friends of mine those are the tamed 'wild ducks' who live in the park all the time. They wouldn't hurt a creature, they are friendly to us all." Then he turned to Bluey in dis gust and added. "You don't know much about the world I guess." That was too much for Bluey. He glared at Dusky and then flew off to his own garden home.

Its Members "Worshiped in a j Crude Structure. PRESENT CHURCH IS MODERN Congregation Expects To Be Free From Debt by July. Church Has Done Much for the Colored People Here. (This is the thirty-third of a series of artirlea on Topeka churches published in the state Journal. The State Journal will le glad to include every church in the city in the series. Arrangements should be made by ministers relative to the publica tion of the articles.) The Second Baptist church, corner of Third and Quincy streets, which was organized in 1865, is one of the oldest and largest colored churches in the west. It is one of the strongest churches among colored people in Kansas. The church edifice is large and attractive and strictly modern. The church has a membership of 323. The church services were held in a brush arbor on Crane street during Second Baptist the time of organization. Subsequent ly they were held for many years on East First street. The building was destroyed by fire, and as the locality was considered un desirable, decision was made to pur chase lots at the present location. Foundation Laid In 1890. The foundation of the present church was laid in 1896. The Kev. G. U. Olden was pastor at that time. Several years later the Rev. T. J. Carr, an energetic young man. started a movement which resulted in the erec tion of the framework. In 1907 the Rev. G. W. Henry, the present pastor, was called from Mad ison. Ind.. to fill the pastorate. Arrangements for the completion of the building and the paying off of the mortgae were made. In 1910 the church was completed and the membership worshiped in the new auditorium. At .that time there was an indebtedness of J7.000. The Rev. Mr. Henry by his able leadership has made possible the payment of all but SI. 400 of this amount. The member ship is now divided into clubs which are workins, to wipe out tl.is indebt edness by the second Sunday in July. Recently the church has purchased a valuable piece of property on which the parsonage stands. Parsonage Is Modern. The lighting and heating is modern in every way and many improvements have been made. The pastor's study is up to date in every particular. Rev. Mr. Henry has an excellent library. Connected with the parsonage is also a printing establishment where the pastor works at odd hours. First Pastor of Church. The first pastor of the church was the Rev. Thomas Wilson, who preach ed under a shed. The Rev. Mr. Gabe of Lawrence was next in ordr, fol lowed by the Rev. Mr. Conn of Oska- loosa. The Rev. H. R. White was pas tor for three years.

First Office Building of the Great Transcontinental Line WAS ERECTED IN EARLY DAYS The Entire Force Then Includ ed but 15 Men. Of All These, Patrick Walsh Alone Remains at Work. The morgue of a transcontinental railway system is the Santa Fe un claimed freight depot, southeast cor ner of East Fourth and Washington streets. Here, like the unknown dead of a great city is placed the unclaimed and damaged freight of the Santa Fe. And as a morgue is a place of lost identities so is the old depot a build ing of .lost memories. There are but few men living who can tell the stories of pioneer railroading enacted within its walls. Built in the latter part of the sixties, it served for years as the first general office building of the Santa Fe. When it was erected the road operated about 130 miles of track with the main line between Topeka and Xewton. Although few people know that such a building exists, it is perhaps one of the most histte-ical in the railroad world. Strange and startling are many of the feats of railroading it has witnessed for startling indeed was the policy of pioneer railroading in the west when the shining rails were only beginning to creep toward the setting sun. When the building was erected the entire office force of the road did not exceed fifteen men the heads of the departments included. Then it was not at all strange for an official to have the distinction of being com pelled to sweep the floor of his office or empty waste baskets. Had the president of the road not lived in Bos ton and given orders by mail he, too, would have been forced to act as his own office boy. When the building was used as the general offices of the road T. J. Peters was general manager. W. W. Pagan, now retired and living at Olathe, was general superintendent. A. A. Robin son, retired, was chief engineer of the infant road. James Moore, also re tired, was paymaster. Moore was the first paymaster the road ever had and until a year or so ago he held the distinction of being the only one. Patrick Walsh, general baggage agent of the Santa Fe with offices in the Jackson street office, is one of the few men who knew the old depot and is still in active service. Like James Moore, Walsh is the only man who has held one Job since he entered the service. He came to the Santa Fe in the early days as general baggage agent and remains in that capacity. "However," smiled Walsh in com menting upon his unique distinction; "there is a good deal of difference in my job now. It has grown for me. In 1872 we handled 2,500 pieces of baggage. Last year the number was more than 2,110,000." E. Wilder, deceased, was treasurer Past Week as Depicted by Bolmar WEDNESDAY, Stirring encounter between "mad cat" and motorcycle "cop" in eastern part of city. Thls Building Served as the Santa of the road and his brother, A. P. Wilder, was car accountant. O. P. Rice was assistant treasurer, W. F. White, general ticket agent, W. L. Sar gent, general freight agent, and John Sebastian, chief clerk to the passenger agent. More than half of the aforemen tioned men have passed to the be yond. And the old building, weather beaten and deserted save for a few freight truckeis is still standing as a silent monument to the men who raw hided a great railroad through its in fancy. In the sixties and seventies the Santa Fe was a shaky proposition. Little time did these men have for dreams of the future. Often the most optimistic thought the road would strangle during the first years of its existence for want of finance and patronage. However, if there were any dreams of the fu ture among these old-timers they have more than become a reality. The old building still stands much the same as it was in the early days. It is a two-story frame affair. Only one part has been torn away. That was a "half story affair on the rear where a man name Jeffries kept an eating house until the days of Fred Harvey. In the eighties it was aban doned and the general offices were moved to the present site of the Mul vane building. Sixth and Kansas ave nue. Later the offices were moved to their present site on Jackson street. The railroad now utilizes the build ing for an unclaimed freight depot in which to hold freight until it is claimed or until the sale time limit expires. After freight has been in storage the required length of time it is sold. This policy is famous as the only one of its kind among railroads of the country. In it Santa Fe of ficials believe they have solved as far as possible the unclaimed freight problem which is regarded by many roads as a white elephant. Harry C. Pribble, general claim agent, is in charge of the storehouse. Harry St. John handles the work under Mr. Fribble's direction. Almost any time of the year any thing, from a paper of pins to thresh ing machines, can be found at the old depot. For the disposal of the goods sales are made every lew monins. WHEN BOWSER WHISTLES. But He Is I.Jke Many Men It's So With Most of Them. When Mr. Bowser comes home and finds his wife lying down with her head tied up, he is real sorry for her, of 'course just as sorry as any hus band could be.

Nothing for a wife to flop down and upset the whole house,, I suppose? Well, I've been looking for it the last three months, so I'm not much surprised. Mrs. Bow ser, it's a wonder to me that you or any other Woman in the state is out of your coffin." "It's only only a headache, dear." "Yes, only a headache; but what do headaches lead to? If you are not a dead woman by Saturday night you may consider yourself lucky. Didn't I warn you not to sit in a draught not to wear thin shoes not to eat too much in warm weather? Little good it does to talk to a woman." "You can't help ailing occasional ly," she replied as she got up to wet the bandage around her head. "Mrs. Bowser, look at me!" he said as he struck an attitude and held one hand aloft. "When am I ever ailing? When do you hear me complain? Never! And why in it? Because, Mrs. Bowser because I don't cram my stomach with watermelon, buttermilk, ginger ale and all that. Because I don't go around with my feet sopping wet. Because I know enough to come in when it rains. Because I exercise a little common sense in taking care of myself." "Your dinner is ready." "And I'm ready for dinner. A healthy happy person is always ready for his meals. You won't try to get up, I suppose?" "Not now." "Wellv you have only yourself to blame. You may learn in time, but I doubt it. I'd like to find one woman with about two ounces of horse sense in her head before I die, but I don't expect to do it. Well, it can't be helped, I suppose. The Lord made you that way, and it's no use to argue." Mr. Bowser eats his dinner, smokes his cigar and sings and whistles as if the slightest noise didn't go through her aching head like a bullet. It, never occurs to him to fan her, wet the bandage or ask if she can't sip a cup of tea. It does occur to him, however, to say about bed time: "I'm sorry, of course, but then you must have more sense. I'll go up to bed. and you can come when you get ready. If you are going to kick around much, you'd better sleep in the spare room. Now and then the tables are turned. Mr. Bowser comes home to lunch dragging his legs after him and look ing pale and very much scared. 1915. FRIDAY. Miles Mulroy still defies the Re- publican administration and hangs on to his good job. "What's the matter?" asks Mrs. Bowser as soon as he steps Into the house, "Got a sore throat and I feel fever ish. I I think I'm going to be sick!" She doesn't call out that she ex pected It, and declare that no hus band in the world has sense enough to look out for his health. She knows that he was out in a draught in his shirt sleeves, but she doesn't even mention it. On the contrary, she re marks: "Try and eat a little something and then lie down. You'd better gargle your throat and then tie it up." "Do you think it's anything seri ous?" he whispers as he grows paler. "I hope not, but it's wiser to be on the safe side. You are subject to quinsy, you know, and spinal menin gitis begins just this way." "I believe I'm going to die," gasps Mr. B6wser, and he grows so weak that she has to take off his coat and vest and get him on the lounge. Ev erything about the house is ordered to go on tiptoe and even the cat is put out and the clock stopped. After his throat has been tied up. his shoes taken off and a quilt thrown over him, Mr. Bowser plaintively inquires: "Don't you think you'd better send for a doctor?" "Not just yet, dear.

"I've felt for some days as if a great calamity hung over this house hold. Hadn't we belter have two doc tors?" "Just try and go to sleep.

I hope you will always be kind to the cooks. I have tried to be a good husband, and Mrs. Bowser lays her hand on his forehead and the tears come to his eyes and he suddenly becomes a great big booby. She has to hold his hand to get him to sleep, and when he wakes up he wants lea and toast and Jell, and he is as petulant as a sick baby until finally put to bed. He is a new man when he awakes in the morning, and when she asks after his throat he replies: "Throat! Humph! Mrs. Bowser, for about five hours yesterday I was hovering between life and death. Had it been you, you would have died ten times over, but grit pulled me through." "Grit?" "Yes. Grit sand pluck Spartan courage and fortitude. I let none of you know how bad I actually was. but just shut my teeth and determined to live and here is the result of It. Ah, Mrs. Bowser, if you only had a hundredth part of my courage and will-power you'd be a far different woman from what you are now a far different woman." Mrs. Bowser felt that she owed him one for that and she said: "The minute you feel it coming on you should start for home." "Eh, what do you mean?" he asked, as his face grew grave. "The chill." "What chill?" "Mr. Bowser, you were a very sick man last night, and though you say you are all right this morning you may have a relapse." "Do do you think I will?" "One can't say In such cases. How ever, at the first sign of a chill, you 15 SATURDAY. Local golf enthusiasts come horns today from the state tournament at Wichita. &Wm. LOOK ATt! start for home. You had best come in the ambulance." "But I don't believe I shall have a chill." Mr. Bowser stood around for five minutes, and then slowly left the house, and when outside the gate he muttered to himself. "It's the strangest thing in the world that I can never get the better of that woman!" Mrs. Bowser, as the reader well knows, is not a revengeful person. However, she got to feeling that she DIE had let Mr. Bowser off too easy in this instance, and after giving him time to reach the office she tele phoned him. "I just wanted to ask If you got over without a chill." "DidT? Of course I did," he roared back. "I'm so glad." Then she called In a neighbor to ask over the wire: "Aren't you taking terrible chances. Bowser?" "What do you mean?" was asked. "Why, getting up off a dying bed to go to the office! Watch your feet like a hawk. If they begin to get cold you hump for home at once." An hour later she got the wife of j a neighbor to come in and say: on, Mr. Bowser, I've heard of how near you came to your grave. This is Mrs. Forbush, you know." "Urn!"

Here con gregate well known society women from all over the country, augmented :his winter by notables from Europe, "ho have preferred the American Riviera to the uncertainties of present flay fortune at the usual French and Italian winter resorts. All the great gown builders of Paris nd New York are represented in the toilettes that add color and life to the passing show. Some women wear the new creations beautifully, as though to the manner born; while others pro claim their recent accession to the ranks of smart society by the lack of harmony between their personalities ind their clothes. Mrs. John C. King, of New York, 'm always beautifully gowned. One Summer wardrobe plans include at least one garden party frock, which is usually of an ethereal character al most suited for the ballroom, except that the neck is high, the sleeves long jand the characteristic tram is absent. Fashion indorses lovely nets, organ- dies, sheer voiles and the revived cot ton marquisettes for the frock that j one will wear when bidden to a lawn fete or for tea cn the veranda. In color, white and cream are in the lead, but there are exquisitely flowered fab rics, dainty in coloring and which the young girl will choose in place of the all-white gown. The illustration shows a French frock of cream net combined with allover embroidery net. The latter is employed for the tabard panel of the front and bp.ck of the bodice, and this is elongated to give length of line to the figure. At the sides the bodice is slashed, and there are introduced wide loops and floating streamers of a cerulean hue whose intensity approaches that of the proverbial blue of the Italian sky. There is no collar, since fashion has done away with the neck cover ing for youthful frocks. A great deal of ihe charm of the ensemble depends on the sort of hat chosen to crown the garden party frock. The one in the picture is a fine straw with a fluted brim of net. PARIS FASHION HINT! evening this week she wore a hand some frock of white chiffon over cloth-of-silver. the latter giving a shimmering effect to the semi-diaphanous fabric. The skirt was very full and encircled by four tucks of graduated width. The bodice had a square decolletage, and posed from right shoulder to the left side of the waistline there was a spray of small pink roses. There were no sleeves to speak of the beautifully moulded arms of the wearer being a sufficient apol ogy if such were needed for the lack of arm covering. Mrs. John Rutherford, of Tuxedo, who was among recent arrivals, wore on this same evening a gown of green-and-gold brocade made with slight skirt draperies and train; and a bodice of flesh-colored maline combined with the brocade. A notable feature about nearly all of Mrs. Rutherford's toil ettes is the absence of jewels. I Gait and Character. By their walk you shall know them, j Here is a professor who has invented a machine for recording the human gait. "A person can be identified by his manner of walking as easily as by finger prints." says the professor. "Watch the man who drags his feet along the ground as if every step were an effort. If he has any of the world's goods it is because it has been thrust upon him. He is the kind of man that would be in the first lifeboat that put out from a sinking ship. The man with dragging gait is the man without a heart. "The woman who has difficulty in lifting her heels from the ground when she walks is a whiner. She be lieves the best she ever gets is the worst of it, and she will go into the minutest detail about trivialities. The woman with the dragging gait is the woman without spine. "Watch the man who hurries along as if he were anxious to part company with the pavement. His steps are quick and snappy. The man with the snappy step has plenty of pep. When you see a woman planting her feet firmly on the ground and walking with a free swing you may be sure she is wholesome, to be depended upon, capable. She will be your friend, your pal, your sweetheart on rainy days just as much or more than when the sun shines." And a lot of wives whose husbands are given to hitting both sides of the street and the middle coming home j will find the gait machine a handy little household object. Pittsburg j Dispatch. i If 1 In the name of charity a fashion ex hibition was held yesterday afternoon in the ballroom of the Plaza, to which exclusive dressmakers, milliners, fur riers and shoe retailers contributed models that funds might be raised for St. Mary's hospital and Flower hos pital.

After the ceremony Mr. Prout and his bride will leave for a trip to Colo rado where they w-ill remain about ten davs. After their return they will be at home at 2073 Van Buren street, whore Ihey have a bungalow prepared for riccuoancv The Eldridge family is well known in Tuueka. as Mr. EldnUge is a prom nent business man. and the family has a wide cricle of friends. The bride's sister, Mrs. E. G. Young of Urbana. 111., was a bride of last summer, and is now in Topeka to attend the wed ilinir tonieht. Miss Eldridge was a Washburn college girl. Mr. Prout was educated in Xorth western university, where he gradu ated, taking special work in engineer ing. He has a position with the Santa Fe Railway company in the test de partment. The guests at the wedding tonight will be limited to near friends of the bridal couple. Mrs. Edwin Campbell entertained informally at luncheon today for Mrs. J. H. I'.randow and Miss Helen Brandon- of Albany, X. Y. Covers we laid for Mrs1. Brandow, Miss Brandow, Mri A. W. Bronson. Mrs. Silas Por ter f.nd Mrs. Campbell. Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Kistler will en tertain the visitors at dinner tonight, and Mrs. C. W. Kouns will be hostess at an affair for them next week. Mrs. W. H. Rutter gave a luncheon Friday for Miss Kuth Woodford and Miss Laura Haynes, whc are to be brides this summer. The decorations were pink roses and candles. Music for the p?.rty was furnished by Miss Enid Strickler, who srmg, and Mrs. Frank Kalio, who cave some piano numbers. Covers wt re laid for twelve srut'sts. A itudert aong lecilal of unusual interest was given Friday night at the First Congregational church by four young women, Miss Nellie Boon, Miss Kcse Gilbert, Miss Emily Crow and -Miss Olga Genthe, who are pupils of Mrs. P. II. Adams. The. average length of time in which tho singers have been studying with Mrs. Adams is two years, and three f them have never had any other teacher. The clever adaptation of the numbers to the best powers uf the sinners, and the variety in the selec tion of umifs and the beauties of the orchestral parts in the accompani ments, added to the interest that was sustained by a good sized audience through the evening in the work the pupils were able to do. Miss Boon appeared four times on the program, closing the recital with Mascagni's "Ave Maria," from Caval leria Rusticana. The number was given with organ, violin, flute, 'cello and harp accompaniment, and was a selection of special beauty and inter est. An opera, number from La Son nambula "Ah! ncn giunge," was cred itably done, and a group of lighter songs, and the soprano part in a duet, made up Miss Boon's cortril ution to the entertainment. A noticeable fea ture of her singing is her power of execution. Her runs and trilis are clear and even and her staccata sing ing excellent. The flexibility of her voice and daintiresn of many of her notes might-well be tho envy of some of the professional singers that pass this way. Miss Gilberg, who astonished the musical people of Topeka in a recital she nave 'ast winter, was on last night's program for three numbers. Her voice has grown in volume and power. It is rounder and has a greater evenness in the development of its registers than when it was last heard in public i.i Topeka. The per- j --onality and temperamental duality of j this voung girl, yet in her 'teens, I promises to be a factor in her success. Margaret Perry Marjorie Ehlers. Two attractive visitors in Topeka this week are Miss Margaret Perry and Miss Marjorie Ehlers, of Kansas City, who are house guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Myers, at the Manspeaker, and they are being entertained at a number of parties while they are in Topeka. Miss Perry is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Perry, who are fre quent visitors to Mr. and Mrs Myers, of whom they are friends of long standing, and who have met a good many of the society people of To peka who belong to Mr. anfi Mrs. Myers' set. She graduated frcin the Westport high school, of Kansas City, and will enter Miss Barstow's school next fall. Miss Ehlers's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. ihlers, are also close friends of Mr. and Mrs. Myers, whom they visit from time to time. She is a high school graduate and has finished at Miss Barstow's school in Kansas City. The girls will attend the dinner dance at the Country club tonight, and will be guests this afternoon of Miss Anita Weiskirch. They expect to return home the early part of next week. "He Was Despised," a heavy oratorio number, w hich she gave with taste and feeling. She sang also a group of three English songs, "In the Uark in the Dew," "The Leaves and the Wind," and "When Song is Sweet," all numbers that are in line with her best style. She has a voice in which there is a good deal of color and which is strongly sympathetic in quality. Miss Genthe was on the program for two numbers, "Chantez, Riez, Etfdor mez," by Gounod, sung with flute obli gate and a group of English songs, "Daffodils." "I Doubt It," and "Spring's Awakening." Her technique is good, and her voice clear and musical. The piano accompaniments were played by- Miss Violet Crumbine, and her ability as an accompanist is brineing her into public notice. Her work at the piano adds perceptibly but unobstrusively, to the success of the songs she accompanies. The organ ist for the eveninpr was Miss Florence Campbell; Mrs. F. A. Derby played the harp; Miss Gladys Gaw, the violin; Mr. E. A. Popenoe, the 'cello, and Mr. Oscar Darltw, the flute. 4 Hats won't cover a multitude of slm in the hairdressing line any more. You've got to have a good "do" on your hair nowadays because the very smartest chapeaux can easily be seen through. There are two popular forms of the transparent hats the one a simple straight flat brim composed of two layers of maline stretched smoothly over the wire frame the other has the brim composed of a wide floppy ruffle of the ina.line, dou ble thickness, with occasional wires radiating from the crown lo keep the ruffle from going altogether. While transparent crowns of the same maline are still very good, the latest effect is to have a velvet crown in the midst of the gauzy brim. The open face hats are most stunning in all black with a single yellow or pink rose as the only adornment but all white hats or delicate pinks and blues are also most fetching with sheer summer frocks and most summer frocks are all of that, let me tell you. Organdie so thin and exquisite of wears and texture that yueen Juan herself might well be pleased to don Music, of Baltimore, and vocal solos by Miss Jessie Gilchrist, who grad uated from Bethany College this spring, and a reading by Miss Esther Paxton. Mrs. Cary J. Wilson played the piano. Mrs. Greary was assisted by Miss Louise Tauer, Miss Marian Williams, Miss Marian Manspeaker, Miss Anna Barton, Miss Gilchrist and Miss Esther Paxton. About twenty-five or thirty guests were asked to meet Mrs. Bran dow and Miss Brandow, who are visit ing at the home of Mrs. Brandow's brother, Mr. A. W. Bronson. Mrs. Brandow, who is a woman of unusual charm of manner, was gowned in black taffeta of the modish wide black and white stripes. The ma terial was combined with black lace in the bodice, and vertical tucks, con cealing the white stripe in the goods, formed a wide girdle. Miss Bran dow wore an afternoon gown of silk voile, figured with a small conven tional design in old rose. Bands of old rose silk were used in trimming the costume.' The following young people, who took part in the senior play at the high school, were entertained Friday evening by Miss Marian Lerrigo, Miss Marjorie Roby and Miss Bess Cuddy: Miss Lucile Roseen, Miss Florence Fair,' Miss Laura Neiswanger, Miss Esther McArthur, Miss Helen Whita ker. Miss Hazel Thomas, MisJ5tuth Larimer, Miss Dorothy Foster, Miss Christina Ward, Miss Dorothy Crich ton.

Then the conver sation drifted to Hebrews of note of the past and present. In the realm of music we thought of Mendelssohn and Rubenstein, Joachim, Rossini and Meyerbeer; in stagecraft, Sarah Bern hardt; in finance, the Rothschilds; in statesmanship, Disraeli of England, Gambetta of France, count v on Arnim of Germany, Lasker of the Prussian parliament; in oratory, Sas tplRr of Snain: in poetry. Heine: in art, Munkacsy; in philanthropy, Baron Hirseh and Sir Montetiore. After the speech the diplomas were distributed, and then tne nonor ron was read.. Topeka people heard with pride the name of Laurens Ellis w nit- temore read as one who had won a fellowship in Harvard university for scientific study. Mr. Herbert Flint, who is now in Topeka, won a hundred dollar prize for the best essay on Prac tical Christianity. At the close of the graduation ex ercises, the university dinner was giv en in the gymnasium, where there was speaking and singing. The classes of former years had their reunions at that riinher. and they raised their voices, individually and collectively to sing the praises of their particular class and and fine scorn of all other classes. They improvised lines ana tunes as they went along, only to have them interrupted by some other group who wanted their own improvisations heard first. Mr. Scott Hopkins of ToDeka. formerly- on the board of regents at K. C was heard In an ad dress and also Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, once of Kinsley, now more broadly of Kansas, a member of the board of administration, spoke at the dinner. The students from Topeka who re ceived their degrees from K. U. this year were: Mr. Whittemore, Miss Helen Coolidge. Miss Alta Lux, Miss Genevieve Herrick, Mr. Albert C. Ross. Miss Mary Schneder. Mr. Leroy Ar nold. Mr. Winslow Kingman, Mr. A. J. McAlister, and a degree in electrical engineering was conferred on Mr. Harold Bozell of Norman. Oklahoma, who teaches in the Oklahoma univer sity, and whose wife is a former To peka woman, who, before her mar riage, was Miss Isadel Heath. A precocious child, some four and a half years old, is the daughter of a certain state official in Topeka. She was insisting that her mother take her to the movies. Mother refused and explained why. The baby still implored. "We are not going," the mother answered with the utmost firmness, "and that ends the argu ment." Then the infant came back with decision in her tones: "Maybe it ends your side of the argument, but mine hasn't started yet." Notes and Personal Mention.

I o o Wjj Directions for transferring: Lay a piece of impression paper, face down, upon the material. Place the newspaper pattern in position over this and with a hard, sharp pencil, firmly trace each line. If the material is sheer, this may be laid over the pattern, and the design drawn direct on the goods, as it will show through. When handl-ed in this way, impression paper, of course, will not be required. This design in Richelieu work can be used either as a central motif for a lingerie pillow or- for a pin cushion. Use a fine linen. First strengthen design by running a thread through all lines. Then put in all bars; on a foundation of two or three threads, from one side to the other, use a buttonhole stitch or a simple over and over twist stitch. Then buttonhole all flowers, stems, leaves and ouier edge of head, with the purling on the outside edge. Be sure to catch in the foundation loop of each bar as you come to it, or the work may pull out when the linen is cut away from under the bars. Work the features and all lines contained within the buttonholed spaces, in fine outline. Use merceriz-ed cottomNo. 25. Work corner design in eyelets or satin stitch.

Fred George Givens was this morning convicted on an assault charge in the court of Topeka and sentenced by Judge Hugh Fisher to six months in the county jail for hitting Fred Prout when the latter protested at having his buggy smashed by the automobile j in which Givens was riding. Givens appealed his case. On the witness i stand he explained to the court that j Prout was so excited and made such a 'fuss when demanding to know what Givens was going to do about the smashed buggy, that he simply lost patience with him and hit him. John Robins, driver of the car, was not prosecuted, as he had made arrange ment to settle for Prout's damages. The assault took place a week ago when Prout was driving on East Fif teenth street, near the baseball park. Robins's car collided with his buggy, doing damaged estimated at $20, and while Prout was leaning over to look at the automobile tag number, Givens landed on his jaw with his fist.

The two small companies paid in $40 in response to demands made by the attorney gen eral. The jury in the second division of the district court which listened to the evidence in the Hladky will case returned a verdict confirming Joe Hladky, a farmer living near Rossville, in his" title to 80 acres under a deed made to him by his mother who died last January at an advanced age. Joe Hladky was the only one of several children to remain at home. He took care of his mother for many years af ter the others left home and evidence was introduced in his defense showing that a division of the family property made a number of years ago was con ducted on a basis which allowed him full heirship to the 80 acres of home stead.
