Autos, Too Frequent Dances, Luxuries Are Prohibited. WRITES LETTeTtO PARENTS Puts Hazing and Alcohol in the Same Class. Poor Boy Makes Better Record Than Affluent One. Palo Alto, Cal., Sept. 23. Wealth is a handicap to the college student and the poor boy has the advantage, according to Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Iceland Stanford univer sity, in a statement today. As a consequence of this belief Dr. Wilbur decreed that beginning this year autos may not be owned by stu dents; that too frequent dances, the purchase of expensive flowers for co eds and similar luxuries will be ban ned. Dr. Wilbur is so convinced he is right about this that he has sent a circular letter to students' parents saying students with too much money are not desired at the school, if they are inclined to spend their time in the pursuit of pleasure. Advises Parents. The letter urges parents to refrain from too liberal allowances and warns them that as the number of en trants this year is limited, those stu dents who fail to show they are doing honest work will not be permitted to remain. Stanford does not particularly seek poor boys and discourage the en trance of the wealthy, Dr. Wilbur ex plains, but experience has shown that the poor boy has, on the whole made a better record, both as a student and afterwards. His appeal. Dr. Wilbur says, is an endeavor to save the wealthy lad from his own particuar dangers. "it takes time to run an automobile and it often leads to life off the cam- p-e, to extravagance and much fool ishness," says the letter, adding: "There is plenty to do in the way of variety right at the university, with its swimming pools, athletic fields, gym nasiums, beautiful walks and the like. There is no need to go to San Fran cisco more than once or twice a semester and this trip can be con veniently and cheaply made by train. There is no need to supply money for orchids, for dance parties or for taxi hire. Better Stay at Home. "Tha student who cannot be content to lead the clean, simple, industrious life expected on the Stanford campus should go elsewhere. If you do not feel our idea of student self-government is right and if you do not feel that it expresses the right attitude to ward alcohol, hazing, self-control, pay ment of debts and things of that sort, it would be better to keep your son or daughter at home, or send thc-m else where. It. will save them the trouble that is almost sure to come stmetimo i in a four-year course and will give I the university m:re time to iovoir,r. those who have the disposition to con form."

COMPANIES ARE PREPARED 'Will Protect Indiyiduals' Right to Work Shonts. Police Department Prepares for 3Iaintaining Quiet. New York, Sept. 23. New Tork awaited with apprehension today the next turn in the labor war which threatens on next Wednesday, when the order for general "suspension of work" becomes effective to make the largest city of the world a city of dead industries. Developments of the last twenty four hours have injected much bit terness into the labor situation de veloping from the strike of surface, subway and elevated carmen. The general strike order, as in tepreted by union leaders today, is merely notice to the employers that union men will not ride to work on cars run by non-union men and guard ed by the police; but, they assert, its effect will be a complete tieup or in dustry in the gTeater city, thru re fusal to work of nearly 800,000 union members. Slionts Is Determined. President Shonts of the Interboro, storm center in the labor fight, an nounced today that the policy of the company to deal with individual em ployes and not with unions or union leaders had not been altered. "We are fully prepared for any emergency," he said. "Our policy will not be changed. The only ques tion at issue is whether the individual is to be protected in his constitutional right to work under conditions satis factory to himself individually." Many unions will have to vote au thorization for a strike, leaders ad mitted today, as not all the leaders were delegated power to order a Continued on I'aee Two.i telLFoRttack Teacher Relates How Man As saulted Then Shot Her. With Revolver Compelled Her Stay in Woods All Sight. Deer River, Minn.. Sept. 23. At day light today no trace had been found of the hunted assailant of Olga Dahl, 19-year-old school mistress of district No. 1, Itasca county. The girl, re gaining consciousness last night has spoken: the man's description is pic tured in the minds of some 300 armed pursuers. It is said Miss Dahl will live. A cold night with heavy frost made n:iserable the man fleeing thru the Minnesota muskeg from the wrath of a community. There is scarcely an unguarded dry spot in the great swamps upon which he can stand. Starvation will eventually drive him forth, it is believed. That he has not escaped the district in which he committed the crime is be lieved by all in the chase. Woodsmen are carrying packs well filled with food and it is believed that one of these hardy fellows eventually will fall upon the trail and run him down. Irt Her Tied to Tree. Miss Dahl, heavy bandages hiding her disfigured face, where the assail ant twice shot her, told, pathetically her story. She told how the man came to the schoolhouse after .the children had left. He talked to her then came a long wait in her story. Final ly she said the man drew a revolver and demanded that she follow him in to the woods. He made a camp fire out there and slept beside her that night. Wednesday. "Next mo'-ning," she sobbed, "he built another fire. He turned to me. When I refrained consciousness I was tied to a tree. He looked at me and without saying a word began to shoot me. I feU the bullets hit my face. I fainted, I guess, I do not remember." Note Book a Clue. Authorities headed by Sheriff Chas. Gunderson all of yesterday scoured the vicinity. At the spot where the man's camp had been made they found a razor, a notebook and an en velope. Sheriff Gunderson said the envelope bore the address, "Mr. Daw son. Bena. Minn." Authorities admit the notebook con tains clues by which they hope to lo cate the assailant. GREEKS MAKEDEMAND If Allies Accept Greece Will Declare War on Bulgars. Athens, Sept- 23. The Greek gov ernment is said on the bast authority to have telegraphed definite proposals to the entente capitals, which if ac cepted will mean Greece's, entry into the war. If the uncertainty of the re lations between Greece and the en tente continues, it is regarded as not improbable that Greece may declare war on Bulgaria on her own account. Semi-official efforts of the cabinet to ascertain from the entente minis ters here a statement as to the desires of the allied governments have been fruitless. The ministers were given to understand that as many l-s three members of the Ureek cabinet were ready to resign if the entente wished. The sole reply was that instructions had not been received.

The women members of the blackmail gang, a number of whom have recently been discovered in Chicago, are accused of having operated chiefly at fashionable beaches through the past summer. Their method has teen to intrigue wealthy male victims into compromising situations and to have a camera at hand to record the affair. Confronted with the photograph the wealthy victim seldom refused to pay any sum demanded on threat of ex posure. Mrs. Helen Evers, who is now enjoying her liberty under $25,000 bail, is alleged to be the leading beauty of the organization. She denies the charges and asserts her innocence. OFF IN LIFEBOATS Ship on Rocks of Maine Coast With 260 Aboard. Passengers Sared Coast Cut ters Rush to Rescue. VESSEL LIES HIGH AND DRY Guard Light Absent, Runs Off Course in Fog. Bay State' Struck Shoal Only 300 Feet From Shore. Portland, Maine, Sept. 23. The Eastern Steamship Corporation's steamer Bay State, bound from Boston for Portland, went ashore on Haly comb Rock just off the tip of Cap.! Elizabeth during a ravy fog early today. The 200 passengers woie taken off in lifeboats and dories. The steamer lies high and dry in a dan gerous position. The coast guard cutter Ossipee and the tug Portland, notified by wire less, hastened to the assistano of the Bay State, but, as the stenirer was pounding heavily it was thought ad visable to have the passengers re moved by the crew of the Cape Eliza beth coast guard station. Socn after daylight the steamer commenced blowing out her boilers and it ap peared probable that her bottom had been punctured. It was feared she could not be saved. Light Ship Off Duty. The Bay State was sighted ap proaching the rocks by one of the coast guard crew at 3:30 o'clock. It was believed the absence of the Cape Elizabeth light ship which was re moved from her station for repairs three days ago may have caused the steamer to run off her course. As the boat struck only 300 feet from shore and there was little srind, the coast guard crew had no difficulty in getting out to her and the passengers were removed safely. The sixty mem bers of the crew remained aboard. The Bay State left Boston last night on her regular trip to Portland in command of Captain Strout. The 1 steamer has been in this service many years. She registers 1,565 tons net and is 281 feet in length, 4-foot beam. 15 feet depth. Her home por. is Bos ton. BOMBS IN LABOR FIGHT Blow Vp Home of Man Recently Shot at tiara p;e Damaged. Chicago, Sept. 23. Two mysterious dynamite explosions, both attributed to labor affairs, partially wrecked two builidngs early today. Windows for blocks were shattered. The first blast occurred at an apart ment building occupied by Edward A. Shields, said by the police to be identified with an Electrical Workers union. Two months ago, according- to the police an attempt wag made to shoot Shields. The second explosion, which damaged the building of the Atlas Garage comxiany, is believed by the police to have been caused by a bomb hurled from a passing elevated train. Union employes of the garage recently went on a strike demanding a closed shop. Fire followed both explosions. RELEASE MRSTlVERS Prosecutor Decides He Has no Case Against Beauty. Chicago, Sept. 23. Mrs. Helen Evers was released this morning by State"s Attorney Hoyne, whose office had taken her into custody last night. The cause of the seizure of Mrs. Evers remains a mystery. She is out on $25,000 bond in connection with the federal kidnaping and blackmail ing case, but Hoyne denied he wanted her in connection with that case or any other. EAGLE MASCOT ADDS LAURELS IN CHINA COCK FIGHT Peking, China, Sept. 23. After trimming the feathers and otherwise disguising their mascot eagle, the United States marines attached to the American legation here recently suc ceeded in matching .their bird of free dom to fight a previously undefeated cock which was the pride of the Chi nese sporting element. Upon being placed in the pit,' the eagle went to sleep. The cock, full of pepper, bravely handed his adver sary two blows. This was too much for the marine mascot; he awoke from bis dream of the snowrcapped Sierras and deliberately pulled the chicken's head off. Our sea-soldiers anticipate no fur ther challenge. FORTIFYJUAREZ Carranza Garrison Heavily Re inforced to Meet Villa. Bandit Chief Threatens to Drive Be Factos Into Rio Grande. Juarez, Mexico, Sept. 23 Cvia El Paso). The Carranzista garrison here is being heavily reinforced to day. Three trainloads of cavalry from Chihuahua City and points south detrained and went into camp this morning. These additions te the forces already here are believed to have been prompted by the threat of Pancho Villa that he "would drive the Car ranzistas now at Juarez into the Rio Grande." Rumors of an impending attack swept over Juarez last night, follow ing the discovery that a bridge six miles south of here on the Mexican Central railway was blown up Thurs day by a small party of bandits. Ac cording to arrivals from the south. Villa forces are now encamped only twenty-two miles outside of Chihua hua City where they have been since they left the city after their attack Saturday.

WITH BABY, ASKS WARRANT Rose Mix Told Her Tale County, Attorney Today. to Frank Lund Registered ..Under Own Name, It Is Charged. Cuddling to her breast a sturdy, coo ing baby. Rose Mix, seventeen years of age, sobbed out a story to the county attorney today which resulted in the immediate issuance of a warrant for Frank Lund, of Alma, charging him with a statutory offense. While the fatherless baby tugged at its mother's dress, while it caught at masculine fingers poked at it by court house men, the mother gave the coun ty attorney the necessary facts for a prosecution. She told of two trips to Topeka with Lund and of nights spent in a local hotel, registered as man and wife. The complaint against Lund cites two counts. It alleges that he brought Rose Mix to Topeka in November, 1915, and again in June, 1916. The peculiar thing the officers say they have discovered about the case is that Lund registered by his own name and gave his correct address. However, he added "and wife" to the registration and that is the basis of the suit in Shawnee county. The Mix girl says Lund is in Topeka or Shaw nee county. The warrant has been turned over to the sheriff but Lund has not "yet been located. There is another case pending against Lund in Wabaunsee county, according to the information given tr the county attorney. He is charged with being the father of the little baby with its mother at the court house to day, said the county attorney. He is out on bond given in the Wabaunsee county district court.

I.iecause of the fact that Onstott and Pa? he, the other survivals in the first 1 flight, were not conceded a chance to j win out in the final round, the match between Bonebrake and Hurley was j the feature of the tournament and was Hurley won largely thru luck and his superior putting.

It was on the second round that Hurley began to show his class, altho little "Boney" played him a fast game and carried the match to the eighth hole before giving up. On the first hole Hurley got in a trap, but noiea out on a long putt. ,On the second hole both were on .the green in two and the hole was halved. Long accurate drives put both close to the green on the third in one, but neither was able to putt accurately and this hole was halved in four.

On the fourth hole Hurley was half stymied again, but he went in the cup after hitting Bonebrake's ball and took the hole. On tne llltn --tioney drove into a bush on the branch and Hurlev won again. The sixth and seventh were halved and the best the lad could hope for was to win the eighth and ninth and force the match to extra holes. But this he was unable to do.

Argue Right Environment Will Reform Him. RECEIVE THOUSAND APPEALS Little Willie Always Was a Bad Youngster. At Age of 7, Tried to Put Sis ter in Hot Oven. New Orleans, La., Sept, 23. Littl Willie Zimmer, 12, who shot hi mother to death here July 14, will not be tried for murder. Altho he made no positive statement. Chandler C. Luzenberg, district attorney, intimated today the boy would neither be sent to the gallows nor imprisoned for life. The plea of thousands of youngsters and club women in nearly every state n the Union has had its effect, and Willie will be given a chance to begin life all over again. Willie killed his mother because sh tried to beat him with a broomstick. Willie's parents are separated. On the day of the killing he had been with his father. The father thrashed him for some trivial offense, so Willie went to his mother's home for com fort. But Mrs. Zimmer was in no comforting mood. He offended her and when she raised a stick to striktr him he fired a bullet into her breast. She tried to run, but a second bullet lodged in her abdomen. She con tinued to run and, when she reached an alleyway fell, crying, "Willie has Kineu me. Sister Would "Cut His Head Off." Nearly every page of the history of Willie's aire is a thriller. Neighbors say he has been a bad boy from the first step. Five years ago he at tempted to place a younger sister In a bake oven and roast her. When the boy was arrested for his mother's murder this little girl begged the officers for a knife. "Please give me a knife," she pleaded. "I'll cut his head off and avenge my mother." These same neighbors said Willie's favorite pastime was dissecting cats and many a neighborhood feline met its fate at the hands of the little Zim mer boy. He was a leader in any mischievous undertaking the younger element undertook Since his arrest Willie has been In different. Until today he had never expressed sorrow for his deed. At Last He's Sorry. "I'm sorry I killed my mother," h said today, "but she tried to beat me, and that's why I killed her." Local club women contend the boy hadn't had the proper care lr his early days, which deprived him of an even break in his battle of life. With proper environments they hope to make a man of the little fellow. Pres ent plans call for a five or six-year course in some institution other than penal.

Today was a comparatively easy schedule only seven speeches during the entire day. and to a man who like Hughes has been addressing Audiences almost everv fifteen minutes as he did yesterday and the day before, this was eo kv. Nowhere in his campaign has a candidate been greeted by such crowds as have cheered his progress thru Indiana. No city which he has visited since he became a candidate has turned out with such welcome as did South Br-nd last night. Tired out from the exertions of the day. his vocal chords merely frayed strings, the warmth of this greeting led him to disobey his physician's warning and to speak just a few words to the fif teen thousand people massed out of doors waiting for him. I 'luck, Hughes' Hest Tonic. Today Doctor Alexander, his throat specialist, thought his patient would improve. But he wasn't so sure last night that the governor would be able to sneak again for a week. However he hadn't counted on the nominee's indefatigable determination and his pluck. The governor himself attributes his remarkable recuperative powers to careful living, with as much rest snatched in between speeches as pos sible. He didn't get much rest yes terday but he napped most of the time between his seven scheduled speeches today. Mrs. Hughes ordered him into his stateroom and personal ly made sure that some of the thou sand odd local committeemen who were always on the special train did not bother him with trivalities. Here at La Porte the nominee rer Iterated his charge of extravagance against the Democratic administra tion, citing figures of appropriations jy the last Democratic congress. He coined a few aphorisms also. "This is a country of sound public opinion ami when a man in a great position with public easily addressed and di rected, takes a firm stand on known principles in accordance with the Spirit of our institutions, he will have the whole American people back of Jilm," he said.

PERFECT AS A PLAYER ayer 823 Kansas Ave. F. P. Whltmore, lc. THE TOPEKA DAILY "IN FAIR HANDS" Effort of Kansas Natural Slake Gas Useful. to Place Supply on Firm Basis With Better Bates. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 23. When Victor A. Hays, president of the Kan sas Natural Gas company filed an ap plication last Wednesday, in the Mont gomery county district court at Inde pendence, Kan., for the discharge of the receiver of that public service cor poration and its restoration to ita own ers a move was made leading to im mediate establishment of natural gas service upon a stable and permanent foundation. Following the discharge of the re ceiver, should this desideratum be the outcome of the application, the Kan sas Natural Gas company will be able to operate as a factor of publie useful ness, upon the firm base of enjoyment of a "compensatory price' for its product something which, according to twenty disinterested jurists, scatter ed over many states, it has long been denied. The Kansas Natural Gas company has been nearly "litigated to death" and by the placing of the organization upon a sound financial basis, the pay ment of its obligations and the dis charge of the receiver, the occasion for a continuation of litigation will cease. If this condition is brought about, that public service corporation will confine its activity to the single purpose for which it was intended -iiac is, to rurmsn Its patrons with natural gas at the lowest price, pos sible to its resources. Must Have Money. When the stockholders of the Kan- naiurai uas company recently IC. r"uurs. ra.., it was proposed that a new stock issue, sufficient to discharge the indebtedness of $3,250, 000 and leave approximately $1,750, 000 for extensions and improvements, be negotiated. Contingent nni n..n securing a compensatory rate for gas and upon the carrying out of the tieuiLors agreement, by which the debts of the company were to be paid, the stockholders determined, among themselves, upon underwriting the new flotation of stock. Without the new rate, which is a slight advance in cost to the consumers, no money would have been available for the Im provements which are absolutely nec essary. In fact, without the new rate, the Kansas Natural Gas company eould not have continued business. Its very existence was at stake. It is the consensus of opinion among fair-minded patrons of the natural gar service that there is little objection to a slight Increase in the rate, if millions of new capital are to be expended for the extension of largo carrying-mains to the prolific gas producing fields. When the Kansas Natural Gas company was organized, it owned nearly 200,000 acres of gas producing lands, at a distance of 125 miles from Kansas City, while the field, to secure the output of which Kansas city ana the state of Kansas are dependent for their gas supply, is iii miles distant from this point. Service vs. Destruction. The new rate will tend to discourage the use of natural gas in furnaces and for industrial purposes, and will thus conserve for the longest possible time, the use of the product for a great mul tiplicity of domestic consumers. By way of contrasting the present constructive trend in the affairs of the Kansas Natural Gas company with the destructive course which for a long time threatened the organization, the situation today is interesting, because the most economical, most sanitary, and most enduring fuel known has been saved for public use. Had the service furnished by the Kansas Natural Gas company been abandoned, by reason of an inequitable rate for its commodity, its properties would have been confiscated, its pipe lines wrecked and its plants disman tled more than $1, 000,000 engaged in useful activity reduced to scrap heaps, briefly! But there would have been under such a set of circumstances, another sufferer the public! Hundreds of thousands of families would have lost their investments in gas stoves and gas-burning equipment, thus reducing a sum, amounting to many more mil lions, belonging to the people, to the value of junk; and besides they would have been compelled to pay the in creased cost of other kinds of fuel. 3 GAS SUlfSFILED Kansas in an effort to Make' Kansas Natural "Be Good." In an effort to make the Kansas Natural Gas company be "good" the state has filed three suits against the company. A suit in the federal court by S. M. Brewster, attorney general, seeks the sale of the gas property. Two mandamus suits in the supreme court seek the filing of contracts and schedules and enforcement of an al leged contract of eight years ago. The suit to sell the gas property has long been contemplated bv S. M. Brewster, attorney general. Plans for the filing of the suit were made public several days ago. The suit is before the United States district court. two suits by the utilities commis sion ask for writs of mandamua. In one suit the commission asks an order compelling the gas company to file its -contracts and schedule of rates for boiler gas for In dustrial purposes. A mandamus suit asks an order compelling enforcement of a contract between the Kansas Nat ural and the Olathe Gas company made in 1908. The contract is alleged to provide an 18 cent rate to the dis tributing company, which in turn is selling gas to the consumer for 25 cents a thousand cubic feet NORTH WOODS IN FLAMES 400 Square Miles of limber in Peace Itiver District on lire.

GRAIN TREND UP Various Influences Give Market Prices a Boost. Dry Weather Threatens Argen tine Wheat Crop. Chicago, Sept. 23. Need of rain In Argentina has made Itself acutely felt as a bullish influence in the wheat market during the last week. Largely in consequence, the grain showed gains of S cents to 3 cents net. Attention of wheat traders, which a week ago had centered to a consider able degree on the question as to whether Rumania would not bring about a speedy opening of the Dar danelles was gradually turned away from that subject as the military situation in the Balkans became more and more complex and as the opinion grew prevalent that even if the straits at Constantinople were cleared such a result would be attained too late to allow any heavy shipments from Rus sia this season. Interest suddenly developed in the Argentina crop outlook when a likeli hood of active competition from Ar gentina took concrete form in an nouncements that cargoes from that country had been purchased at New York and that other cargoes were of fered cheap, with vessel rate3 on the down grade. Reports from Argentina, however, acted as a handicap on the wheat bears untll,pn Thursday, it seemed that rains had fallen just in the nick of time. Rain Insufficient. Advices yesterday, nevertheless, changed the outlook completely. The truth appeared to be that altho some copious rains had fallen in Argentina, they were confined to the south and west provinces, whereas tho serious lack of moisture was in the north. Aggressive buying on the part of lead ing speculators here followed and for eigners seemed also to have become more anxious about supplies, as yes terday's exports transactions aggre gated a notably liberal amount, 1,600, 000 bushels. Frost damage reports hardened the status of corn to a mod erate extent and also tended to lift oats. Provisions this morning were almost precisely at the same level as a week ago. WRITE LIFE OF VAIL Former Kansas Writer, A. B. Paine, Here After Material. Alfred Bigelow Paine, editor and autnor, is in Topeka visiting friends. Twenty-five years ago he was a cub reporter on Fort Scott and Eldorado newspapers. Much has happened Bince their. He has written "The Mystery of Kvellne Delmore," "Gobo links." "The Dumpies." "The Arkan sas Bear," "The Bread Line," "The Commuters." "The Lucky Piece, "The Sailor of Fortune," "Mark Twain," and other books and stories. But even success-crowned authors sometimes have toothaches. And even moneyed writers feel the call of "the story." That's why Mr. Paine is in Topeka. He hopes a local dentist will be able to relieve the pain in a swell ing cheek and he's in search of facts on which to build a biography of Thomas Newton Vail, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company. He came to see, in particu lar, Charles S. Gleed, an intimate as sociate of Mr. Vail. Mr. Paine is not. possibly, in as reminiscent a moed as though he'd lost his toothache, but he does recall working with William Allen White on a Kansas City paper, soon after leav ing Eldorado. The two writers pub lished together a little book, "Rhymes by Two Friends." Mr. Paine doesn t keep track of the number of books he writes, and he can't decide which he likes best. He declares, however, that he enjoyed writing "Mark Twain" more than any of the others. He spent four years gathering material for his story of the numonst. during mat time residing at the Clemens house. He wouldn't take a good deal now for that long period of close association with the late popular author. He leaves soon for Kansas City, and later for Omaha, where Mr. Vail played baseball against "Pop" Anson years ago. Vail won a belt as the best pitcher in the state of Iowa. $5 FOR EACHRECRUIT Bonus to Postmasters Compulsory Kevtoe Is Foreseen. Washington, Sept. 23. The first re wards of $5 for regular army recruits secured by postmasters under the new national defense act, the war depart-' mcnt announced today, have been paid to Postmasters William J. O'Don ley, Ctica. Okla., and Joseph M. Sit man, Greensburg, La. War department officials frankly described the new recruiting system as "the last gasp of volunteer enlist ments." They pointed out that in giv ing a $3 premium to postmasters for each recruit the government made a supreme effort to obtain its soldiers without resorting to compulsory train ing. They predicted should the plan fail and a sufficient number of re cruits to fill the enlarged regular army not be obtained it will become necessary to adopt universal training or some system of nnanniilsorv service.

WHOLE TOUR IN MOTOR CAR Three Congressional Districts Well Covered. Political Event of Year for G. O. P. State Ticket. Governor Capper will start Monday, October 2, on the most strenuous cross country campaign trip in the history of the state. The itinerary for the first two weeks of the governor's trip was' announced today by Charles Ses sions, chairman of the Republican state committee. It calls for a 2,000 mile drive thru thirty-four counties in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh congres sional districts and more than forty speeches. The governor will make the trip In an automobile. He will visit three and four counties every day on the trip and will make from three to six speeches a day. Ten speaking days are included in the trip. Following the drive thru the three districts pre sided over by Democratic congress men. Governor Capper will later make a second campaign tour. His second trip will carry him into portions of the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts. All of the districts which he will enter are presided over by Dem ocratic congressmen. In County Seat Towns. On his early October trip Governor Capper will speak principally in coun ty seat towns. Special short meetings will be arranged for towns along the route. The regular schedule, how ever, will not be disturbed. Dates as arranged by Chairman Sessions call for the most strenuous work, with ha?d, fast drives between towns. To make the campaign trip Governor Capper abandoned his summer vaca tion. County chairmen in all counties to be visited have been advised of meet ing dates. They will arrange, for big meetings and in many of the counties the governor's visit will be the feature political evi.nt of the campaign. Lo cal speakers will be given places on the program that things may be kept Bell-ans Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it 25c at all druggists. Quality First ONLY 14 DEALER GREAT CHALMERS CARS PER ARE LEFT IN THE $56,000,000 "RUN" I am but one of 1600 Chalmers Dealers. There are ordy 20,000 of the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers left. So if I had to take my chance on an even allotment among the 1600, I'd probably get only 14 more of them. The run on this car has been mastodoaic I'm lucky to have one left, because the Chalmers Company set out to build only 822,000,000 worth last fall. These were ail built and delivered before the first day of summer came. Then we got the Chalmers executives to add 10,000. These were pretty well cleared up before the first day of September. Now we have just got them to build 20,000 more making 48,000 of the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers all told just 856,000,000 worth of one modeL So yon see it has been like a regular "run on m bank. Only instead of a bank it has been a car. And a truly magnificent car, too. I attribute the "run' to the wonderful quality in the car. I find men and women are buying better and better cars every day. Just go down among your acquaintances and note how many of them are driving better cars than they used to. Probably 75 per cent of my sales have been to people who hare owned lower priced cars. There's a peculiar and interesting kind of a pride in owning a regular car. A man said to me the other day: "1 bought a 'price' car a year ago. It was a nt- year car. It looked fine and drove well for a while. I got 10.000 miles out of her. but she couldn't stand the racket. I'm all done Irving to buy price tags. I used to say Td never pay more than a certain sum for a pair of shoes. "1 ventured 92 beyond the price one day and, thoroughly to my surprise. I got such a better fit, so much more comfort, so much more in looks, and so much more in wear, that I just figured I'd been a blame fool all these years. "It's the same way with cars. You get Inst about what you pay for in a cheap car. It s like advice. I'm paying S300 more for this Chalmers than I paid for my old car. But I can see right away I'm really getting 8500 more in car and quality. Besides I'm driving a regulai .loroughbred." There are lots of men like my friend. People don't sbop around much in buying meat for the home. A rib roast is a rib roast. If one butcher has rib roast at 2 cents a pound less than the other, it's safe to venture that it's 2 cents a pound inferior meat. Quality and the quality scale of life that is what the American people are seeking today as never before, in my casual observation. And a great help is a quality car like the 3400 r. p. nr. Chalmers. Forget that the price is only 8109O Detroit. The price is not determined by the President of the. Company, nor by tbe Chief Engineer. The price is determined by cost ac countants. That accounts for the odd figure 8 1090. The sum of 81.000,000 has been added to Chal mers factory equipment since the birth of tbe 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers' about a year ago. Added why? Just to make each car a little better than the one thai went out the factory door ahead of it. p. S To remind you the Chalmers Company is building 20.000 more of them. This model will be continued without change in design into next aeaaon. W. H. IMES CO., Distributors 918-920 Kansas Ave. Phone 3071. Topeka, Kan. moving in event of a delay. The gov ernor and his party will stop only long enough for a thirty or forty-minute speech. With plenty of campaign ora tors available," the meetings will in many towns be in progress after the governor has spoken and has readied the next county seat. Never in the historv nf the state has a political campaign trip been ar ranged on such an extensive scale as the Capper trip. Both in the number of speeches and territory covered, the trip will break all former records. And Kansas has in former years seen some right active campaign work. 1eave Here October 2. Governor Capper and his party will leave Topeka late Monday afternoon, October 2. The first speech will be in Lincoln, Lincoln county. Tuesday morning. That first week includes a swing west thru the southern section of the Sixth district, south into the second and third tier counties of the Seventh district and east to the edge of the Eighth district. Concluding the first week with a night speech in Kingman, the gov ernor will drive to Hutchinson, where he will catch a train to Topeka. He will spend Sunday a-d a portion of Monday in Topeka. During his stay in Topeka, his car will be driven to Abilene, where the governor will be met Monday evening. Tuesday, Oc tober 10, the week will begin with a second invasion of the Sixth district, this time into the extreme northern counties. Fifteen of the twenty-two counties of the Sixth district will Le visited on the two weeks' trip.

The exploit of AUBT.ro-.riungarian aeronauts who with two seaplanes rescued twenty-nine men, the officers and crew of the French submarine, Foucault. is de scribed by the Tageblatt. urriciai announcement was made at Vienna yesterday of the sinking- of the foucauit Dy an Austrian seaplane in the southern Adriatic. The Tageblatt says the rescuing of the crew was di rected by First Lieutenant Konyovic who, on two previous occasions had saved comrades who had fallen into the sea. The sea was rough at the time and there was also danper that the Aus trian aeronauts would be captured by hostile warships as well as that the aeroplane, overloaded by taking1 on board so many men, might collapse. Nevertheless the Austrian aviators told the men from the French sub marine to swim to the seaplanes and take hold of them. The commander and second officer of the submarine were allowed to climb into the pilots seats. The aviators signaled for help and half an hour later a torpedo boac arrived and took on board the men from the submarine. ti MYSTERY SHIP COMING Bremen Is Kxpected at Xew London Only Three Days Late. New London, Conn., Sept. 23. The German submarine that is expected here is the Bremen, about which there has been so much rrystery. Instead of her being in the hands of the Brit ish, as has been reported, or at the bottom of the Atlantic, she is on her way here with a larger cargo than the Deutschlana orougm irom Dremcr- haven to Baltimore. Thts Bremen was due here on Tues day, according to a reckoning of time in which she might have made the nnmaare from Heligoland under favor able weather conditions and by tak ing the shortest course. 'inus sne might be considered three days over due, but it is supposed that her com mander is taking a circuitous route to avoid steamship lanes. A constant watch is being kept tor ner. GOTCH DIDNT SHOW UP Manager of Circus Arrested in Port land for False Advertising. Portland, Ore., Sept. 23. Because Frank Gotch, world's champion wrest ler, was advertised on billboards and in press agent matter to appear in Portland with the Sells-Floto circus here, when, as a matter of fact, he has not been with the show since he broke his leg a couple of months ago. a war rant has been issued charging the management of the circus with vio lating the state law against false ad vertising. A constable served a John Doe war rant on the management and cash bail of $250, or $500 bonds willbe re quired. The management was roundly hissed when Gotch failed to appear with Jess1 Willard. whose performance was withheld until the concert, follow ing the regular exhibition.

Alleging that "ecclesiastical politicians are making the prohibition dogma a test of orthodoxy," Rev. Newton E. Clem enson today tendered his resignation to the Presbyterian synod of Cali fornia. The resignation is the outcome of a furore raised two years ago when the pastor lectured in behalf of the grape protective association in the state-wide prohibition fight. He de clares that altho a district presbytery sustained his action at that time, the synod falsified this ratification in its records. In a long review Clemenson declares himself "frankly out of sym pathy with an ecclesiastic spirit which can not see their way to accept the political dogma." He claims the right "to support the political party of my choice without interference from the church or criti cism from brother ministers." start new Temple Omaha Masons Will Jjolj Cornerstone to $500,000 Edifice October 4.

Cosden Oil Gas COSDEN CO., in the six-month period, ending June 30 last, earned $2,000,000 net, or approximately 35 per cent on the present outstanding capitalization of $5,752,865. In other words, the showing in the six-month period was at a rate of approximately 75 per cent on the stock which is the only form of security of the company now is sued, all of their preferred stock and bonds having been converted into common stock. In a letter to the stockholders which accompanied the dividend check for the second quarter of the current year, President J. S. Cosden said: "During the quarter which ended June 30, 1916, the net profits amounted to about $900,000. For the first six months of the year the net profits amounted to but about $2,000,000, due to the fact that the lubricating plant was not in operation. "The earnings for the second quarter of the year were less than expected. The lubricating plant should have been in full operation by May, but owing to delays in the delivery of special machinery and steel, completion was impossible before the fifteenth of this month. It is now running and should add at least $100,000 per month to our net earnings. From now on," he said, "our profits should greatly increase by reason of the low price of crude oil, additional still capacity and the lubricating plant. "We are confident that the net earnings of our company for the six months ending December 31, 1916, will be greater than for the six months that ended June 30. In addition to our lubricating plant we have added four teen miles to our Cushing pipe line, have purchased about 600 additional tank cars, erected many large storage tanks for crude and refined products, built a new acid plant, erected and are still erecting many new stills and oth erwise added to and improved our refinery in such a manner that today, although our company is not three years old, it is.one of the largest independent oil refining companies in the United States, with a refinery at West Tulsa, Ok., most modern in every detail.

Tomorrow sometime about the hour of sunset the Western Heague baseball season of 1916 will become a part of the dead past. -When the fans file out of Savage park at the close of the double Cbill with Sioux City and the players head for the clubhouse for their final shower it will all be over and there will be no more wild Cheering in the valley that lies between the Shunganunga and the foothills of Highland Park during the long bleak, dreary month3 -ahead. While the season has not been a Satisfactory one from the standpoint of he management that demands at east an even break financially; while jt has not been satisfactory to .the .fans who demand victory and a place at the top; yet, at the same time, a man with a yardstick would have a hard time estimating the pleasure ;and diversion it has given to the peo ple of Topeka or estimating the civic Jalue Topeka as a city has derived ince the season opened, thru her her place in the most ancient and most widely known of minor leagues. Attendance Here. J When asked today for a statement is to the summer's attendance, John .Savage, owner of the club, said that -the attendance at home had been more than 10,000 short of the l'Jlu mttendance and that his club has Tjlayed to 7,000 less on the road than was played to the season before. The exact season's attendance here will not be known until after tomorrow's Itotals are added. It has been a disastrous year for practically every club In the league except Omaha and Lincoln, and To peka, St. Joe, Denver and Sioux City ave all been heavy losers. Wichita, altho she quit cold on the last lap of the schedule, is said to have been one of t he smallest losers of the entire circuit. What of Future? As to what will ba done to put the league back on its feet and make it a elf supporting business proposition, no one knows. But certainly condi tions cannot remain as they now are, and it Is preposterous to Imagine that teams as expensive as Class A teams are can be maintained when they have to play to crowds of seventy, eighty and a hundred people as they "have been doing here for the last sev eral weeks. Thursday there were less than seventy-five paid admissions at the game a.nd Friday there were only eighty, And with crowds like these the local club undoubtedly has lost consider able money. Not deducting the cash f-eceived for players sold, it is under stood that something like $7,000 has teen lost on the gate here and gate receipts are the only guaranteed in come any club has year in and year fcut, and, therefore, form the basis tipon which the club owners have to "figure. So far as the pennant race Is con cerned, it has not been a pennant race tor several weeks, Omaha having cinched the flag more than a month go. And, so far as the positions of the other clubs are concerned, there can be no changes between now and the end and the final curtain tomor row night will find Lincoln second, fcio'ux City third, Del Moines fourth, Denver fifth, Topeka sixth, St. Joe Seventh and Colorado Springs eighth, lust as they are In the table today. inere Is notning to be gained or lost in the games this afternoon and tomorrow, but judging from the per formances of the last two days and peaking strictly from a local stand point, the real fans who want "just one more glimpse" before the end ught to get their money's worth if 4 he contests are anything like the last with the Omaha champions Thursday nd the opener with the Indians Fri day afternoon. j Friday's Game. Friday's game .'rj a real exhibition, nd had it r.H been for the one dis Jrou8 inning that each side had. the two teams might have been battling "at for the winning score. Kach team fide just one earned run. but in the unearned Increment of the totals the Indians excelled and the final count yas 3 to 2 in their favor. The Savages counted the first run f the frame In the opening frame, Lathrop getting on when Merze made wide tos trying to head him off ai first and scoring on Devore's single after two were out. The Sioux tribe tied the count in tJ- first of the fourth on Lejeune'a Wo Minute rrsr"ci.uG and Connelly's single, and they stepped to the front in the sixth when errors by Engle and Allen, along with a single by Connelly, a walk and a double steal gave them two counters. Lathrop again hung up one for his team In the last of the sixth when he tripled and was driven home by De Fate, but Manager Gaspar who was in the box for the visitors tightened up and with good support behind him kept the Engle men from making a further advance.

Brooklyn Is Still Two and a Half Games in Front. Chicago, 111., Sept. 23. Boston today still maintains its lead of two and one half games over Chicago with Detroit one-half a game behind Chicago in the contest for the American league championship. All three leaders won their games Friday and there was no change in the relative standing. In the National league Brooklyn is entrenched in first place, two and one half games in front of Philadelphia and five and a half games ahead of Boston. Brooklyn and Philadelphia each have thirteen games to play and Boston has seventeen. Braves Out. A sudden reversal of form, sustained while Matty's B.eds were visiting Bean Town, has placed the Braves so far down in the list that nothing short of an epidemic of infantile paralysis or broken legs in the Dodger and Phil adelphia teams will put the Braves in the lead. The Stallings bunch now is five and a half games behind the pace-setting Dodgers ani three games behind Phil adelphia a margin which it is im possible to overcome in the remaining sixteen ga.-ies the Braves can play. Gradually the Red Sox are pound ing their way to the American league pennant. They did not, gain on Chi cago and Detroit in their game Friday for the two runners-up also won. But they brought their schedule one game nearer completion and if they win seven more games of their remaining ten, it wiU be impossible for Chicago to overtake them. Giants Cli mbii The Braves, besides being forced to watch Cincinnati knock the props from under their pennant hopes, now are seriously threatened by the Giants, who won their seventeenth straight game and are bidding strong for third place. The Giants now stand three games and one point behind the Braves and have sixteen games to play. If they can keep up their great work thev will pass the Braves, for they still have a series with the Braves. The Braves also must meet Philadelphia, their last series of the season. The Dodgers hold a two and a hajf game lead over the Phillies since their parting wallop at the Cardinals yes terday and they began today against the Cubs, a team which isn't expected to make it overly interesting for the leaders. Philadelphia is billed with the Reds and in view of the way the Reds attacked the Braves, it must be conceded they are du to at least make it interesting for the second place team. FOOD FOR FANS (BY GEORGE E. P II A IK.) ICouyrtcht.1 Coming. It edges closer day by day. That saying old, but always new. Eftsoons the sporting page will say "Stagg- fears Purdue." Not having studied the schedule this season we don't know whether the Ma roons will play Purdue, but Stagg will fear them, just as a matter of habit. A great many Americans who read novels, short stories, esaavs. etc., cannot get hep to the "Ltd.'" stuff. For the benefit of those, them and tbeir's we shall elucidate "Freddie Welsh Co Cham pion Lightweight of the World, Ltd." A lot of militiamen on the Mexican bor der are clamoring to get back to college In time to play football, showing that they are game guys and gluttons fur punish ment. All Men Are Kldn. "How do you figure It out, George?" he says to me as I sat down to perpetrate my daily toil. "Figure what out?" says I, opening the papers and beginning to peruse the news therein. "The dope on the American league." "Lay offa me, willya?" says I! I'm here to work, not to figure out puzzles. Let puzzles puzzle them as wants to be puz zled, but I aiu't going to let no puzzles puzzle me." l'ronerly rebuked he departed. leaving me alone with my arduous labors. Then I happened to glance at a puzzleon the foolish page and labored an hour and a half before I made It out. AT LAST, A GOLF COURSE HAS A REAL 19TH HOLE Chicago, Sept. 23. A real nine teenth hole has been laid out on the golf course of the Calumet Country club here by Arthur Fa vargue, the club professional. The hole is to be played at the end of the In-round to decide who pays for the refreshments. The hole, which is a mashie pitch lies be tween the eighteenth green and the club house buffet.

The final list of cancellations by major league teams of the drafts made from the minors at the national commission a week ago has been announced. The list Includes the following: Cleveland, who had first chance on Rawlings, of Toledo, after the New York Americans had canceled, did likewise, and the choice reverts to the Boston Nationals. Cleveland canceled on Miller, of Omaha. After the Chicago Americans and "Washington Americans had canceled on Mulligan, of Kansas City, the Phil adelphia Americans, third choice, also canceled. Chicago Americans canceled on Klrkham, of St. Joseph. Chicago Nationals canceled on Flannigan, of Muscatine. SPIT BALL BOMBS NOW Baseball "Pitchers Would Be in De mand If U. S. Went to War. Washington. Sept. 23. With Walter Johnson, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Babe Ruth and others bf their ilk in the first line trenches, the United States ought to whip any nation on earth, if an invention by a United States army officer works out and is adopted here. The latest death dealer has been named the spit ball bomb. It is the shape and size of a big league base ball. It Is propelled exactly as a base ball is propelled. Unlike hand gren ades being used in Europe, it will not explode by contact. On its surface is a small hooklike hump. This hump is supposed to catch on an attachment worn on the thrower's hand. As the eyit ball bomb leaves the hand this hook is pulled out, starting the deadly works inside which explode several seconds later. An expert bomb thrower could work havoc in an enemy trench, the bomb containing high explosives. ST. FRISCO AND MABEL TRASK WONDERFUL GOERS Mabel Trask and St. Frisco In their Grand Circuit duels this year have trotted the fastest five and six-heat races on record, which fact attests their stamina, while their records of 2:03 for the stallion and 2:03 for the mare, made in the regular course of racing and not to see how fast they could go, are evidence of their extreme speed. Either trotter unquestion ably could step a half-mile in less than a minute if asked to go that distance only, and each probably is up to a quarter in 28 seconds.

The fiercest scrimmage of them all took place on Washburn field Friday afternoon. For nearly an hour fresh men and varsity tangled in a way highly satisfactory to the onlookers. The one hour's signal practice held previous to the scrimmage had gotten the plays well in hand and everything went off with a snap. The team is already developing a "drive" that the 1915 team lacked. Stewart and Perry were alternated at the fullback. Slow in starting, once he gets under way Stewart tears thru the field like a Chamberlain. Perry is too good a fullback possibility to waete however, and the chances are that when the season starts Stewart will be back in the line. Wilson, the 185-pound tacKle, is getting ir.to shape and the improvement in his offensive and defensive work Friday afternoon was marked. JACK BARRY MAY GET IN HIS SIXTH WORLD'S SERIES If Jack Bai-ry js able to get back in j the game by October, and the Boston i club wins the American league pen nant, the Worcester citizen win enter his sixth world's series. Barry play ed in world's series with the Ath letics against the Cubs in 1910, againpt the Giants in 1911 and 1813, and against the Braves in 1914. Last season it was due largely to the splen did fielding of Barry that the Phillies only took one game from the Bed Sox in the annual baseball classic Should Barry get into the world's, series this vMr he will establish two records that is. he will have played in four successive world's series, those of 1913, i 1914. 1915 and 1916, and he will be i the first player to share in six aerie. FOOTBALL TODAY Eastern Elevens Flay First Contests This Afternoon. Harvard-Colby Game Only One of General Interest. New York, Sept. 23. The football season of 1916 opens In the east to day with the usual lack of games be tween the stronger elevens. Interest centers 5n the Harvard-Colby contest at Cambridge which is expected to give some indication of the quality of the Crimson men. Last year the Maine collegians managed to score one touchdown on Harvard. Second in importance is the Dartmouth-New Hampshire game at Han over. Other college games include: Pennsylvania state vs. Susquehanna at State college. Holycross vs. Connecticut agricul tural at Worcester. Washington and Jefferson vs. Bethany at Washington, Pa.

There Is no narticulur rpnn whv you should be interested in the doings of UUU9, A plavr in the Country club turnament was neara reciting to himself: "Pretty bad on slices On pulls I am the worst. I'd like to drive m straight And practice Safety First." Among the interested spectators at the big goliuf meet have been several of the Savage baseball players. Eddie Monroe displayed a deep interest in the game and was particularly struck with the apparent signs of superstition displayed by the players. Eddie was forthwith informed that the a vera ge gol f er is just as s ti persi t ioua a s the average ball player. One of the most common of the superstitions associated with the links game is that of putting when there is a ball already In the cup. Hundreds of golfers will no more think of doing this than they would of playing in their pajamas. Manager Clyde Rngte. It was learned. Is one of the greatest of golf enthusiasts, and he spends a great part of his time in winter playing on the Boston courses. Arthur Bonebrake played around with him on t he Cou n t ry clu b course, and "Boney" asserts that Engle la some real golfer. He says the Savage leader has the form of a professional, and he must be good, as he played Boney" a stiff game despite the fact that he has hardly bad a club In bis hand this summer. "Yes. I am a great lover of golf." Engle said when asked a boot It. "1 have played a great deal, and some day I may enter the game In a regular way." Knowing that Engle possesses the aver age superstition of a ball player, he was asked about bis golf. "Its funny," he said. "I am awfully superstitious about baseball, but I never think of It when playing golf." There is no doubt but that Joe Agler baa leen one of the most valunb le mpn ou the Torcka W. L. team this season. Agler has played many positions since the season opened, and he has played them all well the best he could and has given no Indication that be did not have his heart in his work just as uimb as he would have had in faster company where he really belongs. Few of the players who will participate In the closing ctremonles tomorrow were here at the opening. Agler. Monroe. Good win and Hall are the nly ones who hiive been with us constantly. Sanders and IHisbner were here ot the beginning, but they have been elsewhere during most of the summer. ADDITIONAL SPORT WILL BE FOUND ON OTHER PAGES 7 Chicago, 111., Sept. 23.

The styles for the new season prom ise to be something of a modifica tion of the present fashions, but quite lacking in the startling new elements that have characterized changing modes for the past few years. The skirts will be somewhat longer, none of them to be more than seven Inches ,m ,floor- It is said that the gins, this last season, have been con tending that the skircs were not too short at all, but that the carpenters were building the floors a little too low. Well, the carpenters are not go ing to do that this winter. Owl-eyed and decorative buttons will be used extensively, even on shoes. A white wool suit decorated in buttons and black trimming, is being worn by a Topeka woman. The cuffs and col lar are of black, and the buttons used as trimming are black. A new tail ored suit I saw at one of the theatres was of black cloth, with short, fitted and belted jacket, buttoned up close with a standing collar, and the only trimming was of cut steel buttons Bustle ffects r the new material, witchtex, are stung to be worn, at least by the more advanced exponents of fashion. Skirts will hang closer, with less flare and sombre colors are going to be in favor. Veils, especially of lace design, will be very much worn. But the sleeves they are the fly v.,. mi. j ne long discarded horrors of twenty years ago, the leg-of-mutton sleeves, threaten us. The menace oi tnose unioraettahin mon strosities looms on our horizon How ever, the tragedy of their acceptance by designers, may be averted by the congress that staved off the railroad strike and the official who keeps us out of war, and prevents all such dis asters.

The two men fell into conversation.

"Let s hear who they are before we start making any dates," the Topeka man answered.

Jonathan Divvers while repairing fence along the main road tother day got too warm and tuk off his swetter and laid it acrost the fence and when he went home in the evg he forgot to take it with him and when he went back for it next morning it was gone.

Cy Hoskins one of our welthiest cit tizens dropd into the Bugle offis tother day for the purpose of subscribing for the Bugle for a yr having us send it to his brother John who lives away out in Iowy being as Cy thort the Bugle would be jest like a letter from home to John and would save him (Cy) from having to write John let ters. "Well Cy had the munny in his hand all ready to pass over into our egger grasp when he happend to think what' was the use of going to this ex try expense when he couid jest as well mail John his own Bugle after he gits thru readin it and thus save $2 per annum? So we diddent git the subscription after all. Cy Hoskins thinks more of $2 than most men does of their wifes. Miss Milly Underwood et dinner with Miss Tabitha Underwood last Sunday whitch event would seem to indykate that Milly Tabitha has made up the differences betwixt em whitch they have been on the outs about for quite a spell and have hurried the hatchet as we might say.

The Dea con says a boil on the huming neck is no laffing matter and he wishes to goodness somebuddy else would har bor it and spell him in his agony for a while. Mrs. Lem Brown sent our wife a punkin pie whitch we helpd to partake of with great gusto. Of course its tur rible hard even for a expert to judge of the quality of a punkin pie from only three fourths of one. Most everybuddy hereabouts has had their cider made and is now simply biding their time impashiently until nachure has took her course and renderd it hard for huming consump shion. Its quite a ordeel for some of our most respeckted cittizens to haft to endure to wait until their cider be comes hard. Mrs. Samantha Deevers who has been on the sicklist for lo these menny yrs set up for a leetle while last wk hut when somebuddy stijjested to Samantha that she was getting a good eal better she got mad and went right back to bed agin.

Moore our beloved paster is a going to deliver a sermon on "The Evils of Intemper ents." Bill thankd Mrs. Quigly for the invite but he said he diddent calkilate he would be present being as he con templated making a trip to the co seat Satterday as ushual and diddent ex peckt to be able or in condition to go to church Sunday morning. There upon Mrs. Quigly departed in deep dis gust. Snide Petersby says he has lost several hens lately with collary. Snide says he calkilates some theef collaryed em by the necks offen their roosts while he slept whitch is the kind of collary he means. There is a joke conceal d in the above for them who has enuff sents of humer to appre shiate it. These is pracktikally all the "Per sonals Lokals Intermingeld'' whitch we can think of at this time so we will bring them to a abrupt close. Argyment There was a bitter argyment ip the Bingville P. O. tother day betwixt Deacon Bradbury Deacon Butter j worth both of who is stanch pillers j of the Bingville church who has also alius been lifelong friends. The two Deacons got to quotin i scripter bye and bye the story about the whale swallering Jonah come up. I Deacon Bradbury said in his opinyun I it was a marvellus performants for a whale to swaller Jonah but he diddent j have no doubt in his mind that the whale done it jest as the scripter states. Then Deacon Butterworth spoke up and said he diddent never believe that the whale swallerd Jonah being as it i diddent sound reasonable to him to 'think that Jonah could exist inside of a whale and ever live to tell the tale and he calkilated that whoever had printed the scripters to that eff-ckt had made a misprint. Then' Deacon Bradbury flew up and told Deacon Butterworth that if he had the audacitty to not believe the scripters then he wassent fit to be a member of the Bingville church ort to resign. Deacon Butterworth got mad right there and told Deacon1- Bradbury that he calkilated he was as fit to be a member of the Bingville church as he was being as he had never loaded his butter skales to make his butter weigh more or sold old eggs to Hen Weathersby as everbuddy knowd Dea con Bradbury had did. Then Deacon Bradbury jerkd off his coat and handed it to Lem Quigly to hold and invited Deacon Butterworth to step out into the middle of the road a few minnits and he would ex press his rightus indignashion with his fists. Deacon Butterworth declined the invitashion on the grounds that Deacon Bradbury was beneeth his notis and Eph Higgins our accommodating p. M. spoke up and told em .both to kindly git out of the P. O. being as they was attrackting a crowd of undesirable cit tizens obstructing the government traffick. Then the two Deacons dis persd to their various homes both very bitter aginst each other and we per soom they will be enemies for life. This is a nise christchian way for two Deacons of the Bingville church to ackt aint it? Wave yOu Notiserf that as owner prop of Bingvilles only general store dealing in every think that you can think of in the way of drygoods, groceries, noshions et cet teries too numerous to mentchion, I aint had a advertise ment in the Bugle for several wks. Whether youve notised it or not its true. The reason I aint been ad vertisin lately is becuz I come to the conclooshion that It was munny wasted to advertise in the Bugle. So fur as I could see I sold jest as mutch mdse after I stopd advertisin as I did before and so I made up my mind What u?as the use But things has turned out different than I calkilated they would when I made a resolooshion I wouldnt adver tise. In other words for the past sev eral wks the Edditor Prop of the Bugle has been buying groceries mdse, etc at my store on tick and now I have a bill aginst him to the extent of $18. whitch I newer expeckt to git. Ive dund him and dund him time and agin but you can't git hlud outen a turnip nor funds outen the pocket of a person who aint got no funds. The editor of the Bugle told me last wk that while he was purty hard up financhially wouldnt I take out a por shion of the $18 whitch he owes me in advg? Being as I calkilated I wouldnt never git it a tall if I diddent git it that way I desided to put in this ad explain the sitooashion so everybuddy will understand my attytood. In other words haff loaf is bettern no bread a tall. This advt then is to inform you that. I am still doing bizness at the same old stand. Hdqrs for everythink in the mdse line. New goods arriving every few munths or offener. No trouble to show goods perviding you come to buy instid of paw over things and then go away without spendin a ct.

THE TOPFKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1916 nm A 1 tii ne to San BE SELrCRITICAL Person or Group Must Recog nize Inward .Factors. of environment. Work for its own sake is the tnsng to be aimed at. Work of any sort, so long as it be honest (and we are only considering such) makes a man or a group self? respecting, and of recognized worth. Although his present environment and opportunities preclude the possi bility of the colored American, as a group, becoming; wealthy, they do not preclude him being economical and saving. That he recognize this is evidenced by the fact that he has accumulated considerable wealth. Of this we shall speak in another article. We wish to snake the point now that the ability to save must become more general. Self-criticism will make plain needs and methods. Then it remains to work toward supplying the needs, and to pursue the methods. Kot only in ternally, but externally the colored American must heroically endeavor to bring about results. Propagandas of any sort must be organized and in telligent. Che?.p agitation and violence are n t only unethical but abortive. In pursuing intelligent and organ ized propaganda, the colored Ameri can must give of his time and money not a little. He must make any sac rifice to further his cause or any phase of it. Self-help and self-development must be pushed generally and vigorously. Individual examples of success in any sphere ot life mean nothing, or at most very little, with regard to a people's status. Examples of success must be general enough to influence the tendency of the group or the people. It is most desirable, then, that the principles of self-development and self-help be conceived as absolutely necessary propaganda. The home, children, character, edu cation, industry, economy and saving, are things, for the condition of his group with regard to which, the col ored American in the last analysis is largely accountable. He must develop along these lines and toward the ful fillment of big ideals and historic standards. He must be satisfied with nothing less than has been attained unto by the most progressive peoples. His ideals of the things above men tioned must be those which have been aimed at and realized by the highest state of civilization. He may not soon succeed, but he will enventually do so, if he more generally realizes that only thru great struggle and supreme sacrifice have been accomplished things of last ing worth and eternal value.

Work Be quiring Little Training. Organized Effort and Self Sac- rifice Are Only Means. 10 ET REV. GEO G. WALKER. There are certain things for which persons and groups are responsible re gardless of outward environment. It Is of course true that a person' or a group's anility to produce in character and ambition such an attitude as will make for progress is somewhat influ enced by outward pressure, yet, in the last analysis, progress is only possible when the things which are in our own hands are well conceived, and when we put forth effort to make them come to pass. There Is no easiest way in the line of progress. Advance ment is made In opposition to hostile limitations. Persons or groups or peo ples who have accomplished things worth while have done so by overcom ing obstacles, by sweat and effort, by toil and pain, by triumphing over ig norance, superstition, caste and all the other things which hinder men in the struggle for enlightenment. n order to make any headway, a person or group must become self critical. Have existing opportunities been advantageously used? Has the Knowledge already possessed been ap plied as adequately as possible? Is the situation as clearly conceived as is reasonable to expect? Does the result of this conceiving intelligently actu ate conduct and method? These and similar questions must be asked and answered in a critical spirit. Such criticism must be uncompromising, candid and constructive. Such criti cism will not always consist in find ing fault, it will consider the progress Jnade, the needs and obligations, the things done and undone, and all from the standpoint of circumstances, re sponsibility and opposition. V Needs Same Things as Others. The colored American must realize ever more and more clearly, just what every other group, which hopes to make real advancement, must realize; fnd that is that the factors of enlight enment must enter into his life to the same extent, degree and appreciation as they have entered into the life of progressive people. The colored American needs just what every one eise needs. He needs them in the same kinds, degrees and proportions. ?ot only so; but he needs to put forth, ever more and more, the same or sim ilar efforts as have been put forth by people who have done things of last ing value. Results follow efforts, and re no greater than the efforts make possible. And another thing: respon sibility is not dispelled because it is not made effective. In self-criticism, one must be care ful that responsiUlity be not misplac ed. There are things of value in hu man progress for which a group must accept responsibility. Environment cannot dominate hope, ambition, char acter, knowledge and whatever else may originate in the hearts and minds of people. Of course these things may be less or more adequately conceived as the group, considered as such, has been influenced internally by external conditions. But even then, it is never true that the group is unable to work out, to a certain extent, its salvation along the lines just mentioned. As the group endeavors to work out its sal vation along these lines, it becomes ever more able to successfully accom plish the things attempted. In the last analysis, and at the end of any proc ess, the mind and heart are masters of themselves. Prejudice Still Rampant. Once again:' the colored American must be ever mindful of the fact that he can, to an extent not always ap preciated, help mould environment 11a affecting himself as well as affecting the general community. We know of course that the specter of prejudice is a-enerally stalking about; but its vis ibility may be reduced by the efforts of the colored American. No group ver rose without self-effort. Self development is the force of progress. Hen who wish to change their condi tion scarcely wait for it to change by the labor of unpropitious outward ness. Later on we shall speak of aome of the things the colored Amer ican has done. What he has accom-' plished in fifty years is truly marvel ous. But he must not rest content with what has been achieved. There is no rest in development. A continual ainving is tne method of making good. The eternal value in Droeress progress itself. Achievement, at is any time, is but the entelechy of the spirit of enligtenment. We can make of our homes what we wish to make of them. A home dee?- not consist of a fine and well appointed house, but in a spirit of earnest endeavor to make it the ori gin and foundation of training in the highest ideals of character and self control. Parents who know this can not be excused for not making it the supreme object of their lives. Thirty years hence, the group will be Just what those who are now children shall become. All groups and peoples Understand this. Not only is it the absolute duty of parents to see to it that the children lire rigorously trained in high charac ter and self-control, but they must alo see to it that, at any sacrifice, tire children are sent to school and kept there as long as possible. Next to character and self-control, knowl edge is the greatest thing in the world Never mind about the oppor tunity for the children using their ed ucation when they shall have grown up. Education is a value in itself. lisciplined minds and hearts and hands are of supreme worth by them selves considered. Mostly Common Labor. Industry is one of the fundamental factors in any group's self-development. Of course, in this field, the colored American is largely confined to certain kinds of work which do net call for much training. But never theless, a trained mar is better than on untrained one in any situation. Work is one of the great life-forces. Laziness must never characterize any individual or group. If laziness does j characterize an individual or group, that group or individual is doomed. A person or a group may be indus trious, may work and save, regardless PRE7ENT PRAPER INQVTRIAL CaNDITIGNJ PROVE THAT NGW 17 THE TIME.

A short time before high school opened they were given leave of ab sence that they could take a few days vacation before starting their studies. They have re-entered high school.

Hold Mother's Body Until It Could Be RemoYed. MANY WAYS OF BURIAL NOW Some Countries Bodies Left for the Birds. Are B. Whiting Explains Sys tems of Early Says. "Have you a grave for rent?" This question startled A, B. "Whit ing, president of Mt Hope cemetery, as it came to him over the 'phone. The voice was in broken English, indicating a foreigner. In his early days in Kansas Mr. Whiting had known of the peculiar ities of burial by early settlers and nearby Indian tribes, but a proposal to rent a grave was something new to him. The voice was that of a woman, a Mrs. de Boissiere. She had come to Topeka with her husband to live, and her mother, Mrs. Helen Da Costa Dot tin, had come to visit them. While here she became ill and died. All were from the island of Barbadoes. Mrs. de Boissiere wished to rent a grave for her mother's body until such time as she could take it back to her native country. She was willing to pay rent, but was much surprised when told that there was no such custom in this country as renting graves. It is a quite common one in South American countries. It Was Interred. Mr. Whiting explained that he could sell a lot in Mt. Hope at a cheap price, but if the woman did not wish to make a permanent burial, he would accom modate her by permitting temporary burial. The offer was accepted with gratitude and the body was duly in terred in a respectable but isolated rave In Mt. Hope. In Spain and certain parts tt France where land is scarce, graves may be rented for definite periods, and if the pay is not forthcoming at the end of the time specified, the graves may be opened. The corpses elected therefrom and thrown into public lime pits and destroyed. In certain parts of India large cir cular buildings are erected, with the tops sloping downward at an angle to center. Bodies are placed on this sloping space and left for birds of prey. When nothing remains save the bones, they slide down the incline into a pit m the center. The incident just related provoked Mr. Whiting to interesting remi niscences of early burial problems in Kansas. "When I first came to the plains, he said, "the pioneers had to bury as best they could. A shallow grave was dug beside the trail, the body shroud ed in a blanket, coffined in prairie grass, and a pile of stones was heaped upon tne mound to save it from the digging of wild animals. A rude cross told the passerby that there some wanderer reached his journey's end. Coffins were made of wagon boxes. bark of trees and sometimes only a Dianket was available. A spot on some hillside, a nook near a stream, a high blurr top, a garden corner, any place, was used. Sometimes a rude en closure would be placed around the grave; sometimes it would be left ex posed, thru necessity. In Branches of Trees. "There was a tribe of Otoe Indians up in Nebraska whose reservation was along the Blue river. Their burial custom was to bury their dead ud among the branches of trees, and wrapping them in blankets, leave them to the mercy of birds of prey and the elements. "The Nomadic tribes, having no trees in which to bury, would wrap the bodies of their dead in blankets, put them on little platforms of sticks held up by four corner poles bound together with thongs, and leave them on the plains to the mercy of the wind and storms, hungering wolves and other wild animals." It was because of the primitive methods of burial he found on the plains in those days that Mr. .Whit ing became interested in burial grounds and cemeteries and caused him to establish Mt Hope cemetery, with its perpetual care plan, which guarantees to every burial lot and grave in the cemetery perpetual care.

S rTSSR- BOWSER has done and she was again surprised the other evening when he laid down on the family lounge, after he had smoked his cigar, and stretched out in a comfortable position. He said at tie dinner table that he guessed he would go to the Gay Old Boys' club that evening, but l e hadn't even got ready to change bis clothes. Mrs. Bowser, who was reading, looked up from her book and was puzzled. She asked no questions, however, and, in the course of ten minutes, she saw that Mr. Bowser was in the land of nod. She determined to as he wanted to. By and by, there came a ring at the as she feared it might, and she went door. It was a rough looking man who hat as be said: "I'd like to see Mr. Bowser." "But you will have to call again," He's a nice old chap to be asleep wait! Last winter he hired me to shovel the snow off the sidewalk, and when I got through he hadn't any change and told me to come later. I got a job In Chicago, and I've been there ever since. I'm here now, and I want that 2 shil lings he owes me, and I want it pretty quick!" Mrs. Bowser stepped out Into the vestibule, and she talked to that man. She tal' ed very low and very emphatic When she got through he didn't lose any time getting down the front steps. When he had departed she went back to IT WAS MR. BOWSER'S MOTHER-IN-LAW. the sitting room, expecting; to find Mr. Bowser awake, but he still slept on. There was a smile on his face. His mouth was puckered up as If he was tast ing; something; mighty good in his dreams. Soon another ring brought Mrs. Bowser to the door, to find a dapper little man, with a bis bundle on his shoulder. He was about to crowd Into the hall -when his way was barred, and Mrs. Bowser asked: "What Is your business here?" "I came by appointment to see Mr. Bowser," was the reply. "What is your business with Mr. Bowser 7" was asked. "Why, I am in the misfit clothing business, and he was at my store three or four days ago, and he asked me to bring three or four suits around here that he might try them on. Here am I, madam, with four suits that are the greatest bargains on earth, and you tell me that Mr. Bowser cannot see me! Should I meet him in the street tomorrow I will give him my opinion of him!" Out Into the vestibule again, and Mrs. Bowser's words were soft and low, but they had the edge of a knife in them. There was no misfit, and the clothes man fled. And still Mr. Bowser slept but the smile had faded from his face, and there was an anxious look about It as if he was going over Niagara falls In a row boat and as Mrs. Bowser stood looking down at him he moaned and stirred uneasily. The next ring at the bell brought Mrs. Bowser face to face with a man who presented a paper and said he hoped it would be convenient to pay the bill at once. Mrs. Bowser looked at the paper and saw that it was a bill of S for shoeing a horse. She handed it back, with the remark: "You have made a mistake, sir. We have no horse and haven't had for twenty-five years. How came you to get things so mixed up?" "Well. I was telling Bowser three months ago about a man who owed me St for shoeing his horse. Mr. Bowser knows the man. and he said he was sur prised that he didn't pay the debt. He said that if the man didn't pay It with in a few weeks to call here and get the money. I didn't think your husband was a liar, but I call here for my money, and where is he?" "You must think Mr. Bowser Is a fool!" retorted Mrs. Bowser, as she pushed him out into the street. There is no need to describe the persons who rang the bell three or four times more. Mr. Bowser was not aroused. By and by, without any warning at all, the front door opened and closed very softly and a woman came advancing down the halL Mrs. Bowser rose up, and they were soon In each other's arms. It was Mr. Bowser's mother-in-law. and shp had that same old satchel and a umbrella. ft "Is Mr. Bowser sick?" she whisperlngly asked as she looked around and I him on the lounge. "He Is not sick, but sleeping." "Then we must keep very quiet, and she drew a chair up to the lounge and gazed steadily into Mr. Bowser's face for five minutes. At the end of that time she bent over and gently kissed him on the nose. Like a park of electricity bursting into life, Mr. Bowser opened his eyes, sat up and shouted almost at the top of his voice: "By thunder! I dreamed that a darned old hyena had begun to eat me up!" And Mr. Bowser's nap was finished. Copyright, ISIS, MeClura Newspaper Byndlcata the situation by placing Charles E. Hughes in the presidential chair and giving the Republicans full control of the government. The Democratic ma jority in the last United States senate was sixteen. It was reduced to four teen thru results in Maine. With thirty-four senators to elect. Senator Curtis declares the Republicans will control the senate by tr.-o to four votes. "One of the big factors in deciding the election will be Democratic ex travagances," said Senator Curtis. "The economy cry so prominent in the Democratic platform of 1912 is miss ing this year. The year that platform was written the Republicans spent less than 700 million dollars. The last congress appropriated $1, 623. 000. 000 nearly a billion dollars more than the last Republican congress. Out standing obligations bring the con gressional expense above two billion dollars. The largest amount ever ap propriated by a Republican congress was in 1865 when $1,295,000,000 was spent. "The tariff will be the big issue in deciding the election, but there can be no doubt about the election of Mr. Hughes and control of congress by the Republicans," he said.

FCTJL LEASKD nBE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the ociated Press and receives the fnll day teletrraph report of that great newa or ganization, for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received in The State Journal Building over wires for tbia sole purpose. MEMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Reports that Germany will send out a peace dove before very long, pos sibly by the middle of October, have a reasonable ring to them. There is a limit to everything, and there nat urally must be a limit not only to German endurance but also to Ger many's resources. In all probability, those limits have not been reached as yet. But. perhaps, it is not going beyond the mark to suggest that they are in sight and in plain view of the German leaders. However, the an nouncement that Germany is really in a peace mood is followed by em phatic declarations from the camps of the entente allies that any peace of fers from Germany which might be made thru a third party will be promptly rejected. And the allies may well be pardoned for such a stand, inasmuch as they have apparently reached the stage of the great war game where they are adequately pre pared to do better than merely hold their own against the central powers. T'resur.-.ably if somebody had esti mated the attendance the biggest day of the Topeka free fair at 97,000 p-rsons instead of only 77,000, the estimates of the attendance at the big gest day of the Hutchinson pay-as-you-enter fair would have been placed at 100,000 instead of only 80,000. August fire losses in Kansas were the heaviest that have been reported in several months. In other words, Kansans are not swatting the condi tions bred by pure carelessness that are responsible for a large percentage of the fires. It is as easy to rid a premises of the conditions that are likely to cause fires as it is to rid them of the conditions that make it easy for flies to breed on them. In many sections and localities in Kansas, great progress has been made in the last few years in getting rid of the flies. Aren't similar efforts worth while to cut down the fire loss? Losses from fires are dead losses, even tho a man who suffers a fire loss is wholly or partially reimbursed for it by a fire insurance company. None of the men in the trenches of Europe are compelled to drink enough of the wine that is red to make them "see things." Germany is sending forth a new style aeroplane that is de scribed as looking exactly like a flying whale. In fact, they are calling them war whales. Probably it will take more than threats from Mayor Mitchel to call out the state militia to put a quietus on the rioting that is incident to the New Tork City street car strike. And on the face of it, it appears to be rather peculiar or remarkable that there should be much more serious rioting and disturbances, as always seems to be the case, in connection wth a street car strike in one of the larger cities than happens with any other variety of strike. But the fact3 of such a situation usually are that much of this rioting is done by those who are not even directly concerned in any way with the street car strike. Such a strike seems to be the signal for the rougher and more lawless of the elements in a big city to play true to their natural form, and to stage such disturbances as may please their fancies under the guise of showing s'ympathy for the strikers. Indeed, it is usually the rule in all labor trou bles that reach the strike stage, that most of the disturbances which follow in their wake are the work of "sym pathizers" for the strikers, and self constituted ones, too. SOME LKMOX PICKERS, MAYBE. Arnold Bennett, the famous English novelist, has an article in the October Woman's Home Companion in which he talks about how men feel when they are engaged or married. They realize they have married human be ings instead of divine goddesses. Ben nett says: "The process- of reasoning is not scientific, and inevitably it must bring disillusion, which means com plications. The disillusion is precip itated by the universal instinct to over- estimate that which one desires and to underestimate that which one ha got. See the young husband as he watches his newly-acqui ed wife enter a friend's drawing room. His anxiety, which he often inadequately conceals, is touching. Aforetime the entrance of that same young woman into a drawing room never caused him the slightest apprehension. On the con trary, it filled him with delight and thanksgiving. Then, her imperfec tions, if she had any, somehow consti tuted a perfection. If she was taci turn, her silences were beautifully ex pressive. If she gabbled, the stream of her chatetr was delicious. If she was awkward, a secret grace was in her awkwardness. But now that he has got her, the vain fellow is Intense ly aTraid lest she may fail to prove to the world the excellence of his taste." Possibly one of the most attractive features of being the presidential can didate of the Republican party is that the latter pays all of the former's campaign expenses. Otherwise, only a very rich man could afford this honor, and a very rich man would be unavailable for it inasmuch as he would have not the slightest chance of getting a sufficient number of votes to run even a close second; the people, you know are so suspicious of riches unless an opportunity comes their way to annex them for themselves. INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS. Having awakened to a realization that vocational training is one of the prime necessities of an industrial na tion. Indiana is taking time by the forelock and has begun a state-wide vocational survey to determine how she may most effectively train the youth to do their part in increasing the productive power of their state and nation. With the passage by congress of what is known as the Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Bill already thru the senate appropriations amounting to more than $7,000,000 will be available to those states which are ready to comply with the stipula tions of the act. This legislation, among other things, will provide money toward the pay ment of the salaries of teachers of vocational work and toward the ex pense of the training of teachers of vocational subjects. The Indiana survey, which is under the direction of the state board of education, is seeking to ascertain to what extent the worker can get on in his job; to what extent the indus tries may give special training which they do not now provide; and to what extent the schools can be a factor in providing that training. It is also being planned that the findings and conclusions of this survey will serve as the. basis for the discus sions at the annual convention of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education which will be held at Indianapolis in February, next, thus bringing to focus on the In diana problem the widest possible co operative judgment and advice in de termining just what forms of voca tional education will be best suited to that state's needs, and to the needs of other states as well as many of the industrial problems that Indiana faces which are common to those of several of her E'ster states. Charles A. Greathouse, Indiana's state superintendent of public instruc tion, who is said to be largely respon sible for bringing about this survey, has this to say of its prospective re sults: "Out of the findings of this survey and the recommendations which will come, Indiana expects to develop a program of vocational edu cation which it will take several years to work out completely but which will put Indiana in the forefront of the American states in the development of a comprehensive program of indus trial education.- In an age of keen competition in which only the fittest can survive, it behooves America to do its utmost to give its children an equal chance in life with their com petitors in the other great industrial countries of the world." When the Germans, some weeks ago, were making successful inroads on the defences around Verdun, the an nouncements were frequent from Paris that the French positions which the Germans captured were of little consequence and practically no stra tegic significance. But ever since these places were lost to the Germans the soldiers of France have been fighting valiantly and almost inces santly to regain them, and whenever they happen to wrest one of their old positions from the Germans,' as they did recently in the Thiaumont sector, the French war office labels the success as one of commanding proportions. And if these positions have no military importance, it must be no more than the moral force and effect that goes with their retaking that makes the costly efforts to get them back so worth while. VACATIONS FOR COUNTRY FOLK. Vacation hints seem always to be made for the special benefit of the city dweller, writes Kathleen Hills in Leslie's. Yet those living in rural communities are as much in need of a change in climate and scenery once or twice a year as are the masses from our congested centers of population. While there are joys in abundance in the country awaiting the city dweller at all seasons, the cities during the fall and winter offer most diversion to those who live the year round "far from the madding crowd." The ruralite is realizing more and more each year that his growth and development, and his standing in his community for that matter, are de pendent upon his ability to keep In touch with the greater activities of life. Besides the enjoyment derived from sightseeing, a fall or winter vaca tion in any of our large cities, such as New Yory, Boston, Chicago, Minneap olis, St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco, can be made to yield a good percentage on the investment in an educational way. Similar advan tages are to be found in all sections of the country at prices within the scope of a meagre purse. In New Tork post graduate courses in many lines can be had free by taking m the lectures of the Board of Education. The theatres are open and the opera and musical season are at their height during the winter. The larger stores, always mag nets to the visitors, are more attrac tive than ever in ths cooler months. The railroads in many rural com munities offer reduced-rate or excur sion trips to the nearest large cities, and at such time3 a3 the holiday sea son and at Easter the steamship lines alonjr the Atlantic and Pacific coasts advertise inexpensive tours attractive for those in rural communities as well as in the cities. One who has worked in the open field all summer plough ing, planting and cultivating needs a rest before beginning with the winter's work; a woman in the country who has been canning fruit and vegetables all summer besides doing the usual housework or keeping boarders, or just helping to keep the farm going, de serves an outing and an opportunity to ahep at the bargain counters In the city. Let the boys take care of the farm and get in some of the wood and let daughter Jane be given an oppor tunity to develop her muscles in the kitchen, while mother and father run away to the city for a vacation. They will find the farm more attractive after seeing "how the other half lives.' Nor would it be at all surprising if these British "land battleships," the armored and gun-mounted caterpillar motor cars :.bout which so much is being heard these days, should prove to be another big flash in the European war pan. Nothing much has been heard of late about Germany's famous 42-centimeter howitzers that attracted so much attention during the earlier stages of the war. Indeed, there are some military experts who insist that Germany was never possessed of such a gun, or that If she has one of that size it cannot even come close to doing the execution or the damage that has been placed to its credit.

Careless automobile driving is not confined to Topeka by any means. The Lawrence Gazette notes that To peka had six serious automobile ac cidents in thirty hours, and then the Gazette adds: It is the mercy of God, and not the care of drivers, that pre vents an accident every hour in Law rence. On a recent morning, a Manhattan minister surveyed a transfer wagon loaded to the limit with trunks, wend ing its way toward the rooming house district, tells the Manhattan Nation alist. Behind the wagon was a small motor truck, also loaded with trunks. Three automobiles passed, each one with one or more new students ami their trunks and suitcases on board At both railroad stations trunks were piled on the platforms to the eaves of the depots. "Styles change In trunks the same as in anything else, remarked the minister. "When I first came to this town every student came in with one of the old fashioned zinc-bound affairs, round at the top and with numerous up-standing ribs. The only way those things could oe stacked up was on their sides. The hand baggage of that day was the canvas-covered 'telescope.' A few years before that, everybody carried a shiny oilcloth 'valise.' Now every students that comes in has a steamer trunk, or a wardrobe trunk, or some other new-fangled contraptions, with an interior mechanism like an auto mobile. And they have the finest, up-to-date suitcases and traveling lars, all fitted out with the latest traveling accessories. Times do change." DINNER' STORIES "The best thing about this trip," said the retired merchant as he lay back luxuriously in the comfortable chair on the porch of a $12-a-day hotel, "Is that it is not costing me a cent!" "How's that? asked an envious spectator. "It's all coming out of my heirs," said the man smiling happily. "When that bad boy threw stones at you why didn't you come and tell me instead of throwing back at him? said the good little boy's pious mother. "Tell you?" said the good little boy. "Why. you couldn't hit a barn door." ON SPUR OF TIE MOMENT T ROT M. MOUITOS. The Hickeyville Clarion.

A printer named Jenks, wanting to lay off, was compelled to persuade a man who was not a printer to take his place at the case, explain ing to him that he could be taken sud denly sick and get away from the of fice before the fraud was discovered. Shortly after the fake substitute lined up before the case with its curi ous little boxes full of loose type, he was seized with fake pains. "What's the matter with you? asked the foreman, coming to his side. I don t know," said the fake printer. "I'm terribly sick. I can't work. You can see that. I'll have to close up for the night." And he reached up and turned the upper case down over the lower one. Vp to Date. Constable But didn't you hear the chicken thieves? Farmer Why, yes. I heard 'em.

SIIPE BY RUTH C AMR RON. Unpared Apples. "Do look at those poor children!" said my companion. On a vacant lot, surrounded by the dismal-looking tenements of the suburban slums, a dozen children were playing. Across the street was a big bakery and two idle delivery wagons were standing in the vacant lot. About them the children were playing, daring each other to bold jumps, some between the shafts acting as horses, others on the seat driving. They shouted and laughed and romped and never whimper was there except when an older sister boxed her young brother's ears. It was one of the most unlovely spots I ever saw, no trees-, no flowers, of course, and only a few tufts of brown grass from which the life and ambition had been nearly trampled out. The wagons were their only playthings. And yet those children were having a grand, good time. How could they under such heart rending conditions? Well, partly because youth can be happy under almost any handicap, partly becaue they had one precious possession which the pampered chil dren of your friends and mine often lack namely, a reasonable liberty of action. They didn't have anyone to amuse them, but likewise they didn't have anyone to constantly interfere with them. They didn't have nice clothes and they didn't have to keep them clean. I am thinking of the children of a neighbor of mine. Their day is arranged per schedule. Just as they get into some very im portant play the nursemaid calls them. "Just a minute," they say. "No, you've got to have your bath right now," or "your nap" or "your lunch or "your drive," whatever it is the schedule calls for. Isn't it enough to make anyone cross to con stantly be obliged to do what other people want you to the minute they want it? And the things they mustn't do be cause they aren't healthful! They mustn't hold pennies in their bands because of germs; they can nev er buy cheap candy;' if they eat an apple it must be pared and cut Into sections '-by the nursemaid. I think that Is just typical of their existence that inspected, pared, cut up apple. Of course I am sorry for the chil dren in their hideous vacant lot. But I'm sorry too for the" children who never are allowed anr of the un pared apples of childhood. (Copy right by George Matthew Adams.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

This morning: I wakened as happy and carefree as a puppy on a farm; tonight I feel like the fellow in myth ology who had to keep the world balanced on his shoulders. And what has made this wonderful difference in my outlook on existence since I opened my eyes at Curtis' polite "Your bath is ready, sir!" and the present moment? A girl, of course! And such a girl! When I think of the way her hair curled over the tops of her ears and her eyes teasing one moment and then half closed to see how you'd take it tho next it drives me mad. Here is what happened: I came yesterday on a visit to Aunt Persis. I came for various reasons. First because mater and pater wished it. You see. Aunt Pers has the ram ily fortune, and so of course all the branches out to the sixteenth cousin are nice to her. .So as I finished college last week dad said: "You must make your Aunt Persis a visit and let her see what a decent fellow you are. She may have some plan up her sleev for you, son, and so humor her as far as you, can. If .-he says 'girl' don't shy like an unbroken colt till you see ow things turn out." So I packed up and arrived last night. Well, as I said. I wakened heart whole and care free and enjoyed a good breakfast until Auntie said: "Addison, do you remember the little Lambie girl you used to play with next door? The one you got cross at one day for laughing when your pony threw vou into the mud ana wnom you chased with a handful of burrs and stuck them all through her curls?" The memory brought a guilty flush. "Yes. I remember. Aunt Pers." She nodded. "W'ell, Grace is a great favorite of mine now, Addison, and I've taken a notion I'd like to see you two married. She'd make you a wonderful wife. She's been educated to the- last notch, but she's Just as sweet and natural as that morning out there. I love you two young peo ple better than anything in the w-orld and I'm getting old," significantly. Then she went to a desk and brought out a box. "I've had another fancy lately, too. I've had my jeweler de sign a ring that any girl would be proud cf, I should think. Do you like it?" She held out the box. I'd never seen anything so superb or unique as that ring. The platinum frosted with tiny diamonds held a large square cut diamond and sapphire in the center. "Wonderful!" I cried, with mixed feelings. "You might put it in your pocket," suggested the old lady. "And now. Addison, don't you-think you'd better apologize for the burrs! Things were moving a bit fast, but I remembered what dad said, so I shoved the box into my jacket pocket and patted her shoulder, reassuringly. "I'll look over the landscape, Aunt Pers, if you wish, but I'll not promise to jump any hurdles just yet!" "You haven't seen Grace yet," was all she would say. Well, so far everything was lovely, and no harm done. There certainly was no risk in mo toring over to call on old friends, so I took my roadster and went over at 10. And after that I proceeded to make such a general all-around jackass of myself that I'm sitting up writing to night instead of going to bed, for how on the earth am I going to tell Aunt Pers about the ring and everything? Oh, heavens, what a mess! Well, I was going along the road that leads to the Maples and just be fore I came to the big gate a little car jumped around a curve and I hit it. A girl flew out into some bushes as my car caught hers and carried it along a bit. I finally got the engine stopped Md ran back as fast as I could, but the girl wasn't hurt a bit. and there she stood, tousled, with a smudge across one cheek, but laugh ing and looking too sweet for any thing. I'll bet my heart hammered harder than hers. Such eyes, and, as I said before, the way her hair curled sottly over her ears! "Aren't you hurt'"' I called. "Do I look it?" So, you certainly don't, but" are you sure you're not? Have you felt an an your Dones "Every one, tibia, fibula, femur, radius, ulna, humerus, clavic, scap ula she numerated rapidly. "Stop," I cried. "You sound like a class in anatomy. Won't you come out in the open and walk around to make sure, and help me to ascertain the exact amount of damage to your car. I'm responsible, you know." "It was my fault," she protested. "No, mine!" "I beg of you" Then something familiar struck me. "Is your name Grace?" "Yes." "I thought so. Don't you remem ber me? I am Addison "ennings. I was just going over to pay my re spects." She was silent a minute, then "Addison Jennings! No, I don't be lieve I do." I was piqued that she should for get. "Oh, don't you? I was just on my way to ask you to marry me. See, I've brought the ring t nd alL I'm Miss Persis Grant's nephew." She took the box, puzzled. "Is it a joke?" "Certainly not." "Miss Persis told you to do it, no doubt." "Asked me to, to- be exact. And I'm being dutiful." Her manner maddened me. I was S Y0 SE,"Hr5 5 GETTING- x 1 f f. SO BIG- Am HUSKY.

"I suppose she'll leave all her money to you if you do as she wishes "That's likely what will happen." All the time she was so distracting iy beautiful I wanted to kiss her. 1 knew I was a fool, but I played it out. She slipped the ring on her finger with an odd look. "Do you know I think I will take you up, Mr. Jen nings." Things were going differently from the way I had expected. I'd never dreamed she'd do what she did. I stood awkwardly in the road. Somehow I couldn't move. "Won't you take me home?" she asked. I took her up to tne big; house and she asked me to wait while she re paired the damage to htr toilet. In a few minutes, a girl came down not my girl, another, tall, statuesque and dignified. She came in and held out her hand. "How do you do. Addison?" she re marked pleasantly. "It's years since I've seen you. The last time I believe you stuck burrs in my hair." The room was whirling. "Are you I began. "I thought you were will you please tell me who the girl is I ran into just now and nearly killed." "Grace Tilden, my companion!" "Ye gods!" It's 2 o'clock and I'm afraid to go to bed. I can't wake up and face Aunt Persis. And yet down in my heart I'm dis tractingly happy. A week later. I have re-read my confession and the joke's on me. I fell asleep in my chair that night and the telephone bell on my table woke me at eight in the morning. Aunt Persis was talking to a girl. I knew the voice and listened! I had to with so much at stake. The girl was my fiancee the one who had the ring. "Miss Persis." she said, "it will do him good to let him think he's engag ed himself to Grace Tilden. We plan ned it in a hurry to change places while he was waiting for me downstairs. He's terriblv blunt and honest, but adorable. Miss Persis. I think I've loved him since he chased me with the burrs.

All the same the English are con stantly improving their defensive means to beat off the more and more son frequent attacks. In Hyde park, Lon- i American protest against don, for example, and in all the larger cities toward the east, one is likely to run upon an inclosed bit of ground closely guarded, over the top of the high fence surrounding this small fort one may see the long hungry-looking muzzle of an anti-air craft gun always lifted to the sky and usually to the east or southeast. It is also amusing to read the news papers after each raid. The English gunners don"t seem able to hit the raiders. The editor sitting in. his sanc tum thinka the gunners must always be asleep, or suffering from astisrma- hides the landscape so they really don't do the damage they should. And now that they have protection, the English admit that early in the war, when England had little more than a popgun for protection against aircraft, the Zepps could easily have blown England to pieces if they had dared to swoop down closer. Many Slackers in Kngland. I think you would notice, too, if you were here, the difference in war spirit in England as compared with France. First of all, there are still many slack ers in England in spite of the con scription now in force. The first thing I saw in Liverpool was a iine of men being headed down the street by a eer geant. "They're bloomin conscripts," said a policeman, in answer to my query. "You'd be there, too," he quickly added, "if you weren't 'too proud to fight, you bloomin Yank.' Unquestionably, there is still a great deal of exemption from military" duty, tho men formerly exempted are con stantly being re-examined and sent out to fight. This fact is plainly evident from the London papers, which give space every day to the proceedings of courts where appear men desiring exemption for business reasons, because they have brothers in trie army, because they are the only support of a large family, or because they have once been examined and rejected. Now adays a man who looks eligible for service may be snapped up on the street by a recruiting officer and if he cannot show papers proving that he is not eligible he goes at once to the examining board and usually therefrom to the training camp. But there aie two classes, at least, which enjoy full protection from this sort cf thing priests or energy, and turfmen th latter because, war or no war, the king must have his horse racing. I notice, too. a spirit of unfriendli ness toward Americans. This was not so in France. The French like Amer icans individually, but not Mr. "W'il- The English are more blunt.

The theaters are running as usual to good crowds, slightly higher in price owing to the war tax added to the price of tickets. The streets at night are, as those of Paris, all but unlighted.

And of course I enjoy the English papers, particularly the Daily Mail, the Times and John Bull, which have built up fabulous circulations thru daring attacks at the right time. The Times is, I think, the most brutally frank paper in the world. Every day it prints the casualty lists three thousand to six thousand names, baring the wounds of the na tion with stoical heroism. But that is English, as all the stories from the front indicate. Whatever may be said of the English Tommy and his offi cers, courage is not wanting. Indeed, I have come to look upon courage as the cheapest commodity in the world. Naturally the English papers are full DeVilbiss of the child hygiene depart I ment, were invited.

Peace and harmony prevailed among Kansas club women nearly three according to surface indica tions. Now trouble has started again. All of the old factional disputes are engendered in the ntw women's battle and today the telephone wires are red hot with the exchange of opinions and side lights on the controversy. The latest raw among the club wom en had its setting In Wednesday's meeting of the Kansas Council of Women.

But when I stroll the Avenue And Buenos Aires widely view I pans untrainmelea on my way Nor any male has aught to say. Perhaps you're thinking, with a smile. This laay isn i jusi iurir bijic. Buenos Aires, Sept. 23. Buenos Aires is a much maligned city as to its masculine manners. Harrowing tales are told from which you gather that the leading citizens and scions of first families have nothing more pressing to do than accost lone females along the avenues with a playful pinch, now and then by way of diversion. The stories really had me worried but I am not by nature a George Ade timid sparrow. Neither could I visionize my Buenos Aires visit as being passed in the pri vacy of my boudoir. The first day here I took the plunge and started out thrillfully at one end of the Florida. I arrived at the other a terribly sur prised II won't deny disappointed) and unpincbed person. Since then I have sallied forth daily- unattended and have yet to experience any untoward unpleasantness. To be sure you occasionally catch a muttered remark but as long as it is in Span ish it needn't feaze you. It's also true thatf requently the men not only stare a bit unduly but even stop, turn and watch you out of sight. Surely a North American woman used to any big city in the United States is immune to a lit tle thing like that. Women Encourage Remarks. In plain words Buenos Aires isn't any worse in the "masher" line than cw iorK, Boston, san r ranscico or New Orleans. It's not one-half as of fensive in that respect or rather dis respect as Kome, Madrid or even Pans. Really the Argentine maids and matrons rather encourage the stares and remarks of the male contingent than otherwise. As they pass by in their elaborate frocks and fri'.ls they feel slighted and discouraged unless they leave a wake of admiring glances and ecstatic gasps of "hermosa" or "simpatica." You can't blame the poor things for being grateful for a lit tle masculine attention on the streets Thtt's about the only time the men ever notice them. Buenos Aires is in deed a man s town and wives and daughters are used mostly to adorn the home. Almost all the smart breakfasts, banquets and functions at the Plaza, the Jockey club or the Paris hotel are stag affairs while staz nation is the usual lot of the women save for the wild excitement of goin to the opera or to cJiurch. There are semi-weekly dances at the Plaza now, the dansants and musicals but these are attended mostly by the American and English fair sex while tne true Argentine lady bides at nome witn tne exception of a few young girls who come well chaperoned.

Into productive pastures. or if they will now grow enough grass to make this economical they can be used for the production of timber. On the other hand, it frequently happens that woodlots which yield nothing but a little firewood for home consumption are permitted to occupy valuable land. In deciding whether such lots should be cleared and tilled, the cost of-clear-ing. the increased value of the cleared land., the interest on the investment, the salable value of the timber prod ucts, and the added expense for fire wood which will follow the disap pearance of the timber must all be taken into account. With unwooded areas, the advisability of bringing them under the plow may be de termined by comparing the probable cost with the market price of good arable land in the neighborhood. Obviously, the higher the price of land rises the more incentive there is for the farmer to avoid waste in the utilization of it. It is significant, how ever, that the investigations of the de partment of agriculture have shown that, irrespective of the price, ten ants put a greater part of their land to productive use than owners. To anyone who is buying or teasing land. then, the important question is not "How much am I paying an acre for this tract?" but "How much am I paying for the acres that are going to work for me?"

"It takes a barrel of chloroform to put a mule to sleep." said Miss Corker, "so I rope them down, inject cocaine locally, and operate." Miss Corker is a pretty little girl. with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She wanted to do "something differ ent" from other girls, she said, and so she took up the profession followed bv her paternal ancestors. Miss Corker secured her knowledge in the school of practical experience, She knows her business better than many college graduates in this field of medicine. Very much in love with her work, she has acted In the capacity of helper for her father for so long that there is nothing m the line of animal ailments that she is afraid to tackle. The young lady expects to open an animal hospital in Atlanta as soon as her father is able to dispense with her services. She is very confident that she can make a success of it. If a war comes, the two principal belligerents probably will be Argen tina and Chile. Not a country in South America lacks a boundary dispute with some other country. Each is a little Alsace Lorraine. England Stopped One Scrap. Chile and Argentina had a nasty dis pute of the kind in 1898. It reached the point of mutual mobilization. Kngland interfered and arbitrated. Argentina got a large area of land in southern Patagonia which Chile claimed should have gone to the lat ter. This has rankled ever since. Chile is very poor. If she could take by force of arms, that land, she misrht get another portion as in demnity. ?t would give her all of South America along her eastern boundary as far south as the latitude of the Chubuk river, which is about 1.0UO miles north of Cape Horn, ami thence to the southward, the whole s continent, from the Pacific to the At- j lantic. 1 This would transform Chile into a j moderately rich nation, for southern Patagonia is a fine cattle'country and there are stories of rich petroleum deposits there. Bolivia Wants a I'ort. This would mean war with Argen tina. Here is were Peru would get into the situation. In 1S7, as a result of a war. Chile annexed the two southern Peruvian provinces. Peru has been longing ever since for a chance to get them back. Bolivia is an inland country with an ambition for a window on the Pacific. The two provinces Chile took from Peru are bounded on the west by the Pacific and on the east by Bolivia. On i their coast are the ports of Tacna and i Anca. These would constitute a i double window" if Bolivia could get them. i Chile probably would turn them i over to the Bolivians to defend from i Peru. Peru would be too strong for Bo- i livia. but Ecuador and Colombia would help give Peru a trouncing to keep the latter from trying to enforce claims on parts of the Putumayo rub- ber -country, concerning which Sir Roger Casement made a report a few years ago.

Every acre of non-producing till able land should be put to work or sold, says a new publication of the United States department of agricul ture. Farmers Bulletin Xo. 745. Many farmers would make more money if their, business were larger, but the size of a farm, from a finan cial standpoint, is measured not by the number of acres embraced in it. but by the number that are producing crops, pasturing animals economically, or supporting a growth of marketable forest products. Non-prod uctfve acres are loafer acres, and the money tied up in them is dead capital. Some areas are, of course, hopeless, and in that case they should be left out of the reckoning altogether. Be fore this is done, however, it will pay to look into the possibilities of profit able reclamation. Many nntillable fields, for example, may be turned London, Sept. 23. The Hungarian diet has rejected the motion of Counts Andrassy and Apponyi, the leaders of the opposition, for the convocation of the delegates, according to a Buda pest dispatch to Reuters by way of Amsterdam. The demand for the convocation of these bodies, which consider affairs which Austria and Hungary have in common, was the climax of the vigor ous war which has been waged against the administration of Premier Tisza by Counts Andrassy and Apponyi for several weeke. The storm which Premier Tisza is now reported to have weathered reach ed its height on the entrance of Ru- mania into the ranks of the allies.

Good photography, exceptional acting, and many of the little personal stunts are all intermingled in an impressive mo tion drama. A Keystone comedy ends the bill. The Orpheum management presents "God's Country and the Woman," be ginning Monday of next week. Conspicuous among the features shown at the Orpheum iff this one, a drama which played at the Willis Wood to capacity houses for a period of two weeks. Three well known players are seen in this production, William Duncan, George Holt and Nell Shipman, sup ported by an all star cast in every sense of the word. Owing to the fact that "God's Coun try and the Woman" is an eight part play, the Keystone will be omitted. Special musical program has been ar ranged for the big drama and an en larged orchestra under the direction of I. Feltenstein will participate in the extra bill. Martha at Sliuoort, Kansas City.

September 24, Wednesday and Satur day matinees. In these days of wild claims the sub stantial success of Martha comes like a cool breeze in a desert. With a cast of stars such as Sheehan, Carmen, De Sellem, Geis and Fein, with the famous Boston English Opera company chorus of forty selected voices, with the com pany a own symphony orchestra under the direction of Max Fichandler, with a wonderful scenic production built and designed by that master artist, Thomas Moses, with each and every costume created personally by Europe's foremost designer of gowns, Mme. MacGregor-Hull, it is little won der that critics have united in pro claiming the company and production worthy of Martha, and that is saying a great deal as Martha is aptly termed the queen of comic opera. Take a dash of the Merry Widow, mix with the Chocolate Soldier and the Spring Maid and add the romance of the Love Tales of Hoffman and you will have some idea of melodious Martha. "The Last Rose of Summer," "Like a Dream," "The Spinning Wheel Quartet." "The Good Night Quartet." "The Drinking Song.' and ensembles too numerous to mention are all in this one fountain of melody. The scene is laid in England, during the Queen Anne period. The country fair scene is one of beauty and color and the romantic Richmond hunting forest, as well as the reception room of Lady Hariett with all the court at tendants in wonderful gowns and court wigs, and even the farm house of Lionel and Plunket are works of art. Mail orders are already pouring in from dozens of nearby cities and all I -r St A It'1 i Marguerite Snow in the Metro-Wonder Play. "Notorious Gallagher," at Cozy Monday and Tuesday.

Inasmuch as the annual "Style Show" opens in Kansas City, September 25, thousands will take ad vantage of seeing the fashions dis played by the merchants, and the magnificent production of Martha, at the same time. At Uie Orpheum, K. C, Week Sept. 24. Three features of headline aliber will be offered on the Orpheum bill of September 24' by Clark and Hamil ton, England's musical comedy stars, George Howell in "The Red Fox Trot," and Ralph Dunbar's Maryland Singers. "A Wayward Conceit which is the title of the offering ot Ciark and Hamilton, is just a line of clever dialogue, introducing several original ideas, songs and dances. Mr. Clark combines mental and physical agility and a certain irresistible whimsicality which have given him unique distinction as a performer. Miss Hamilton is pretty and dainty, and their combined efforts afford a rarely pleasant few minutes' enter tainment. T tell the story of "The Red Fox Trot," as presented by George Howell and his clever supporting company, would not be fair to the author and to the public; however, it is an unusual ly clever satire on the modern dance craze, written by Agnes Scott, the author of "Drifting," "The Wall Be tween," and other well known vaude ville sketches. Mr. Howell, who is an actor of distinction, is seen to good advantage in the leading role. Ralph Dunbar, who has achieved unique success in introducing com panies of musical acts, Is presenting his latest offering, the Maryland Singers, a quartette of vocalists and n banjoist, in songs of the Southland T e girls are fair to look pon and Sc. tlie y ifflfi'-rtlTMttTVI-iil each one is the possessor of a beauti ful voice, while the etaging is un usually effective and up to the par of Mr. Dunbar's other presentations. Johnny Cantwell and Keta Walker offer sixteen minutes of enjoyable entertainment under the unique title of "Get the Fly Stuff," a clever offer ing interspersed with gongs and dancing. Other acts on the bill arc: Jim and Betty Morgan, song writ ers of popular melodies, in an offer ing of their latest compositions. Mile. Vera Sabina Co., premier danseuse, in a terpsichorean offering, "Fantasies of the Dance." Martinetti Sylvester, one of the funniest acts in vaudeville, in a pan tomimic and comedy athletic offering, and the Orpheum Travel Weekly, which will depict see nes in and around the towns and cities of Tunis in northern Africa. 'GOD'S COUNTRY' HERE Big Supcrfeature Coming to the Or pheum Next Week. "God's Country and the Woman," the big eight-part play with William Duncan, George Holt and Nell Ship man as the leading characters, will be seen the first half of next week, at the Orpheum theater. Comment made by press and dra matic critics places this production at the top of feature films. The party of distinguished players engaged in making this picture faced many hardships, including being snowbound and facing starvation for a period of two weeks, being rescued in a thrilling manner by a team of Alaskan sledge dogs, and undergoing many unpleasant stunts in the actual filming of the picture.
