WOMEN'S SPECIAL THERE Train of Campaigners Host esses at Dinner for Teddy. Appeals to American-Mexicans to Break Old Ties. Denver, Col.. Oct. 24. This was booked as the busiest of all the busy days Colonel Roosevelt has had since he started on his 6,300 mile jaunt thru the southwest and middle west in ..he Interests of Republican Candidate Hughes. He arrived here shortly after 10 o'clock, got a "strenuous" welcome, was paraded thru the main streets to the Brown Palace hotel, attended a luncheon, had un automobile tour among the nearby hills and spoke at a women's meeting this afternoon at the auditorium. This evening he is to lead another parade; attei d a din ner tendered him by the Hughes Wo men's Special and address another au dience at the auditorium. Roosevelt today for the first time expressed himself regarding the inci dent at Chicago when a woman's dem onstration during the president's visit there was broken up. He took this incident as one of the subjects in his speech this afternoon. The speech was extemporaneous. The colonel be lieves his meeting today with the members of the women's Hughes cam paigners particularly propitious for defending the women against the "silk fctockirig" charges. Extra Stop at I. as Vegas. Roosevelt had an extra speech vi rung from him yesterday by the lo cai committee at Las Vegas, N. M.. when the population is 30 per c?nt American. He pleaded for straight Americanism regardless of antece dents and said if war with Mexico does coine and he is permitted to raise a brigade, the first people he will ap peal to will be the American-Mexicans of New Mexico. The Albuquerque stop yesterday cost the colonel 5 cents more than he had anticipated. Two busy movie men who had hired cowboys and cow girls, and had bought flags for the school children to add a touch of color to the parade, asked the colonel to pose with an Indian woman who makes her living by letting, tourists take her picture. They had promised her a. quarter. She thought she was to get the money from Roosevelt and when the movie men began grinding without any money having been given her, she yelled at the colonel, "Twenty-five cents or no picture." Roosevelt pulled a nickel, all the change he had, from his pocket and give it to her. She pocketed the nickel but refused to go on unless she got the union wage. The picture was taken as the colonel was handing her the coin. BIGGEST CAMPAIGN STUNT. Monster Celebration Planned When Colonel Roosevelt lilts Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 24. Colonel Roose velt's appearance in Chicago Thursday will be one of the most stirring and most spectacular events of the national campaign, if plans are carried to a finish. Plans are being prepared to make his reception equally as enthusi astic as was the greeting accorded President Wilson last Thursday. Red fire, brass bands and noise will rule the day. Two meetings will be held, at which the Oyster Bay man will speak, one attended by women, and the other at the stock yards amphithe ater. President Wilson spoke to simi lar meetings in both halls. An escort of cowboys will conduct the colonel from his hotel to the stock yards pavilion. The Republican leaders expect the colonel to go far toward persuading the recalcitrant Progressives to get into line for Mr. Hughes and they hope, too, that he will be able to stem the tide of women voters toward Mr. Wilson. Denials were forthcoming at the Republican western headquarters that the prospective speech of the colonel in Chicago is being subjected to a blue pencil, or that the stipulation has been made that he shall not refer to the Germans in the manner that he did in his "skin 'em alive" speech at Battle Creek. Making claims that Hughes will sweep Ohio, Indiana and Illinois by from 100.000 to 200,000, the Republi can managers started on the last lap of the contest with the hope of rolling hack the Wilson wave sweeping over the western country.

F. btrop. senior counsel for the accused prosecutor, declared he intended to call Mr. McDaniel, his, father and his mother to the stand. Defense attor neys previously had refused to state what witnesses would be called when their side of the case was presented. Judge C. F. Strop, chief counsel for Mr. McDaniel. said today that as yet no witnesses had been summoned by his side and that none probably would be nntil the state had com pleted its case. "All our witnesses can be obtained quickly," he said. "Much of our de fense will consist of course, of cross examination of the state's witnesses." 125 Witnesses for State. Subpoenas have been issued by the state for 125 witnesses. Among them are Mrs. Sarah Moss and Miss Ailene Moss, mother and sister of the slain woman.

German Army Controls All of Dobrudja Railroad. RIOTS IN RUMANIA CAPITAL; Invaders Jtow Will Devote Ef fort to Northern Drive. Rumanians Hopeful Allies Will Come to Rescue Nation. On both the north and southeastern Rumanian fronts the Teutonic allies are rapidly flattening out the Ruman ian lines and forcing them back. In Dobrudja, Field Marshal von Mackensen inflicted a severe defea4 upon the Russo-Rumanian left flank, driving it to the Tara Murat district, some sixteen miles northwest of Son stanza, the Black sea port he cap lured day before yesterday. In the center the field marshal has forced his way into Medjirie, while along the Danube he has drawn appreciably nearer the Tchernavoda bridgehead by capturing the Danube town of Rashova, nine miles southwest of Tchernavoda. He has- taken 6,700 prisoners, two cannon and fifty-two machine guns. Driving home the attack on the north General von Falkenhayn reports as a result the capture of Predeal, ten miles south of Kronstadt, on the Ru manian side of the border, and the collapse of the strong resistance the Rumanians have been offering at the southern end of Rothenthurm pass, on the frontier south of Hermannstadt. On the northwestern Rumanian front the Russo-Rumanian forces ap parently are hold their own. Bucharest reports them on the offensive in the Oituz valley, where several hundred prisoners and ten machine guns were captured from General von Falken hayn's troops. Holds Kntire Railway. Virtually the entire Constanza Tchernovoda railway line in Dobrudja is now in the hands of Field Marshal von Mackensen's victorious forces, it appears from a Russian official state ment today, admitting the evacuation of Medjidie by the Russians and Ru manians.

The i Somme front situation was little f 1 changed overnight. I London reports that the British have fully consolidated the ground gained by them yesterday in the neighborhood of Gueudecourt and Les Boeufs, where the capture of 1,000 vards of German trenches was report ed. There was no infantry action along the French lines in the Somme region, the most important happening being the development of a spirited artillery duel south of the river in the area between Biaches and Ablaincourt. Short on Artillery, Mackensen's easy victory at Con stanza was due partly to the Russo Rumanian'g lack of artillery, it is un derstood here. When Falkenhayn be gan sweeping the Rumanians out of Transvlvania, the Rumanians hastily shifted guns from Dobrudja to the Transylvania passes to check the in vasion of their western borders. The Russians brought reinforcements in men into Dobrudja but were unable to bring adequate artillery equipment and the enemy batteries were unable to offer effective opposition to the Teutonic advance. One report from Sofia today said that Constanza was won with hardly any fighting, the Rumanians evacuat ing shortly after German detachments cut the railroad to the west. Cavalry forces entered the city in the afternoon and found it deserted by the enemy. The decisive victory over the Ru manians is expected to have a great effect upon Greece, stifling the allies attempts to win Greece's armed sup port. To Assail Bucharest From Xortli. Paris. Oct. 24. 5:25 a. m. The capture of Constanza by the Teutonic allies altho not unexpected, neverthe less has put a damper on the enthusi asm aroused by the continued advance of the entente allies on the front in Picardy. French commentators do not unduly exaggerate the importance of the achievement of Field Marshal von Mackensen, whose action up to the present time, is considered here as a defensive one in shortening his front so as to hold it better if with fewer men. They point out that the only way that he could do this, is ad vance, since if he fell back, his frunt would on the contrary, be lengthened insofar as he succeeued. These ob servers Pay also that ft he manages to tie up the Russo-Rumanian forces in Dobrudja by holding a narrow front slightly south of the railroad, he will not be slow to employ his troops thus released tot act in airect correlation with the Austro-German army oper ating in Transylvan.a, which they as sert is the essential front from whicn alone Bucharest can be attacked with any chance of decisive success. I-ong before that it is believed here Rumania with the help of the all.es will be in a position to turn the tabies upon its enemies. French critic as sort this belief seemingly is justified by the gallant defense the Rumanians are maintaining in the passes of the Carpathians. Letters to "Dear Rev. Father Under Congress Frank.

Hughes, speaking ia Queensboro tonight, may have some thing to say about the hyphen charges. The candidate himself was silent early today, but those close to him suggest ed he may reply to the Democratic claims. The Democratic national committee continues its hyphen drive against hiia today.

Orr of Atchison, still a very lively politician, Vho was a candidate for delegate at large to a national convention. Orr rave some of his supporters passes to the city in which the convention was held but withheld the return tickets until he had learned they "had voted ritfht." One of the best talks of the evening was made by Judge W. R. Smith of -the Santa Fe. He lauded the newspa per men and consequently drew the greatest applause. "The Newspaper 'Reporter" was the subject of a paper read by Judge Smith. Came Into Their Own. v "I shall say something of newspa per reporters," said Judge Smith, "for the reason that they rarely say any thing for themselves. Of all profes sional men who contribute to the in formation and gayety of nations, there re none whose labors are more im personal. "The reporter may write for his pa per a better tcrnion than the preacher an preach, or a better play than the actor adopts for the display of his jrenius, yet his product goes out dis associated from Its creator, and ap pears anonymously, with no intima tion of the identity of the author. "The editor of a newspaper of any considerable circulation is generally ye known. It Is usual for his name to appear somewhere on its pages. The 'reporter gets no publicity, and I have Hot heard that he demands or expects it. vhile he makes newspapers, en Tiche proprietors, and exploits two-Jby-four politicians until they become Statesmen in public estimation, he re nains 'a youth to fortune and to Tame unknown. G. Wood, "Accurate Reporter." J. G. Wood, who had been referred Jto by an earlier speaker as the "most accurate reporter Topeka had ever known," told of numerous early-day newspaper incidents. He served as rity editor and telegraph editor of the old Commonwealth and later as tele graph editor of the Capital. He told the "inside" about what is admitted to have been the greatest "'scoop" in cident to Topeka newspaper history. "Election day in 1872 was about the worst day I ever saw in Topeka," tciid Mr. Wood. "There was a terrific the wires went down one after an-! other. Along in the afternoon every wire had gone and my employer came to me with a long face. 'Woody. he rsaid, 'what are we going to do about the election returns tonight? I re plied that I didn't know but that I would suggest that he go over to the Kansas Pacific station and make ar rangements with the operator to get the Rocky Mountain press service ever the wires from the west. "That he did. He paid the opera tor 10 for his night's work. Kansas fcvenue was a mortar bed. There was -no paving then. Our office was in a building just north of the present fed eral building.

PERFECT A3 A PIANO i TOPEKA FACTORY BRANCH STOKE I "I Kimball ppSj 4 Palmer Duo, singers of quality, at the Kansas Pacific station and back with parts of the report. 1 My paper came out next morning i with election returns from every state in the Union. Grant had been re elected. "The opposition morning paper came out with this announcement: 'Due to the fact that Topeka is cut off from the east by the storm the Record is unable to give its readers the election returns. 'I claim that was the greatest scoop of all time." That was Just one of a chain of In teresting early-day incidents told by Mr. Wood, a former newspaper man, who began work in Topeka In Decem ber, 1869. C. S. Gleed on "Shots." "When They Used to Shoot Re porters" was the subject assigned to C. S. Gleed, who was a reporter on Law rence papers so soon after the Civil war that nearly every one still carried guns. His first newspaper work was done in 18&6 and consisted of runninu errands, but he soon blossomed into a real reporter and before he turned his attention to more profitable things had "covered" some of the big Bt'ories of the early days. "In the early seventies when I was doing newspaper work in Lawrence," he said, "the opportunities for getting shot were excellent and the opportuni ties for setting half shot were almost equally good. There was a brewery, two distilleries, three wholesale liquor houses, sixty-five saloons with 4,000 people in Lawrence. Things happened frequently." Mr. Gleed admitted he escaped shooting, altho he ran several narrow. chances. He intimated that tne snoot ing of newspaper men was not due so much to the freedom with which guns were handled as to the freedom with which newspaper men handled their pens and pencils. "One summer while I wag working on a Lawrence paper," he said, "A Colorado desperado came to Douglas county. He stayed out in the country but frequently borrowed a big black horse and with a gun in each hand rode up and down the main street, upsetting grocery displays and shoot ing holes in the atmosphere "I wrote a column and a half about that fellow. I intended that it should be the meanest thing ever written about any one. He was known as a bad mar. and when I came back to the office the next day the folks told me to hide out and stay away until the Colorado desperado lert town. I didn't know enough to do that and stayed ar?"nd the. offic d.av: About the middle of the afternoon word came to the office that my des perado and another man were having a big fight at the Eldridge house. At that time the present Eldridge house dining room was a palatial saloon. It ran from the street back to the alley and was a beuatiful place. I walked in and there stood my hero with a gun in each hand and blood running down hia face. His eyes were filled with it. His opponent had hit him Just over the eye with a rock and the desperado was looking for him. "Just as I stepped in someone whis pered something to the desperado and he looked my way. He came toward me, a gun in each hand. 'Are you the fellow that wrote that piece about me?' he demanded in a loud voice. 'Yes, sir," I whispered back. 'Humph,' he said in disgust, you're too little to whip.' "And I escaped shooting again." Mr. Gleed told of half a dozen in teresting early day episodes of which Lawrence and Topeka. newspapers made much. He was on the real firing line for eight or ten years and de clared the only real "fun" he ever had waa during that period. He was careful to differentiate among the words "fun," "Joy," "pleasure," "hap piness" and "contentment." Commemorates John MacDonald. D. O. McCray read a paper com memorating the late John MacDonald, the first member of the club to die Fcllowing Mr. McCray's paper, Walter Johnson made a motion, which was passed, that a copy of Dr. Stephen S.

Jesse Leach, a former Topeka news paper man, now owner and editor of the Bartlesville (Okla.) Enterprise, gave an interesting reminiscence of the time when he was horsewhipped by a woman, the same as William Al len White was. "It was then I discovered that when Bill White described the affair by say ing that as the woman struck the ed itor laughed, he was Just a plain liar," said Leach. Jay House Last Speaker. Jay E.

AT THE THEATERS At the Orpheum. Probably one of the principal criti- I cifcins of the entertainment at the Or- I pheum last night was that there was too much of it. 'The Law Decides" did not disap- point the Topeka patrons .of the silent drama, it was different from anything shown before.

THAW ISF0R WILSON Harry K. Thaw Makes His Debut as Ioliticat Slump Speaker in Brooklyn. New York. Oct. 24. Harry K. Thaw lias jumped into the limelight again. The occasion differed from the other times in which he has at tracted public attention. Thousands crowded around him Monday night, and shook him by the hand, in true presidential style, after he had deliv ered an address. For Harry K. Thaw is on the "stump." He made his bow as a cam paign orator at an open air meeting in Brooklyn. Thaw was dressed in a big over coat and wore a fuzzy cap pulled well down. Beginning his speech, he stood up in his car, and announced: "I am Harry K. Thaw. I am with Wilson, Seabury and Hiscox; I am against Judge Albert S. Jenks because he gave mc three unjust decisions and kept me in jail unlawfully for seven years. I want to keep him off the bench for twice that period." that each community can select what subjects most suited to its particular needs shall be taught in its high school." Colville also took a shot at the present method of censoring pictures. "The censor board has probably come to stay," he said, "but it should be di vorced from the bureau of public in struction. It should be furthermore regulated by a larger group of cen sors. I distrust a system that gives so much power to a man like Foster who announces pompously that 'he has lived in Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City and all over Kansas and he knows what is good for Kansas people to Colville is a pioneer in Kansas edu cation, having been engaged in school work In the state tor more than thirty years. He was elected county superin tendent of Sedgwick county for four successive, terms on the Democratic ticket, altho Sedgwick is normally Re publican by several thousand. LITTLE BILLIE BURKE Stork Brings Girl Baby to the Home or Noted Actress. New York, Oct. 24. A tiny edition of Billie Burke, the famous actress, has been ushered into the world at the Hotel Ansonia. Today reporters were informed that mother and daughter were progressing favorably. Miss Burke is the wife of Florenz Zeigfeld, Jr., the noted theatrical man ager. When the little stranger took up its abode in this city Mr. Zeigfeld was busy superintending the rehears als of his new all-star show, "The Century Girl," at the Century theater. It was some time before he could be found and the news imparted to him. He immediately rushed over to his apartment in the Hotel Ansonia, where he was quickly overwhelmed with a shower of congratulations from all over the country. BETTER RURAL SCHOOL ,1. V. Colville, Out for State Supcrin tendency, on New Platform. Announcing a platform of better and more practical rural schools so there will be no need of such a slogan as "Back to the Farm" because the boys and girls will never leave the farm, J. V. Colville, Democrat candi date for state superintendent of pub lic instruction, hit Topeka last night on his campaign rounds. Colville, a Wichita man, is going after Ross's scalp with a vengeance, having thoroly covered Kansas in his campaign tour. While enthusiastic for bettering city schools, his principal point is the improvement of rural high schools. "I'nder present conditions the ma jority of rural high schools are noth ing more than college preparatory schools." Colville says. "And yet less than 10 per cent of the students will ever be able to go to college. It is useless to cry 'back to the farm' for those that have already left the rural districts, but it is entirely possible to make the rural high school so valuable and encouraging that the back to the land slogan will be unnecessary. The rural high school must render more practical service. The curriculum should include domestic science, agri culture, bookkeeping, farm economics ind other subjects of practical value, furthermore, it should be possible for tudents unahle to spend the whole -chool year away from the farm to J.;e short courses in helpful subjects. The system of education should have sufficient flexibility of arrangement so IT r.,3 0 fSEIIIj ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

Now that the eleventh hour of the presidential contest has arrived that most undesirable of citizens or things. Air- Campaign Canard has put in an appearance, as usual. But th,e vapor ing of this evil genius of politics are tin transparent to attract milch at tention. Jf there were any merit to the charges that are hurled against candidates during the closing days of u campaign they would be given pub licity during Uh earlier stages. "But we who are living." declares Kaiser Wilhelm's oratorical effort, "will fiht further until nobody will vcr dare again to assail the honor and liberty of the German people." Evidently, or at least in the mind of the German emperor, it was an assault on the honor and the liberty of the German people that was responsible for the great European war. Altho there is the possibility that European titles will not count for murh alter the great war, the .Ameri can heiresses go on annexing them with the reckless abandon for which they are no famous. The richest gir'. in Massachusetts is about to exchange her hand and pot of gold for one of them, and an Italian one, at that. Htill, this is strictly her business, so why should any one else worry rb( ut it." Evidently no task is too hopeless for the Y. M. C. A. to undertake. Its branch in New York City is to estab lish a course thru which it will en deavor to "civilize" office boys. Xor is it likely that many farmers will fail to understand despite the ef forts of divers politicians to demon strate to the contrary that the high prices tl.oy have been getting for their products are due to the demand for the m that has been created by the war in Europe. In a ten months' period before the war began, we ex ported $132,000,000 worth of bread Htuffs and oats, but in a correspond ing ton months with the war in full swing we exported the same commod ities to the value of $366,000,000. According to the latest statistics on the subject thejiumber of families in Japun engaged in agriculture is 5, 448,292, of which, 1,728.692 families cultivate their own land, 1,507,520 families are tenant farmers, and 2, J02.080 families are working partly on their own land and partly as ten ant farmers. The land-owning farm ers are 32 per cent of the total. The percentage is small as compared with 8 in this country and 58 in the Neth erlands, but is large as compared with 13 per cent in Kngland. St. Louis appears to be rapidly ap proaching metropolitan proportions. During a recent period of fifty hours there were six murders in the big city on the eastern border of Missouri that are attributed to gang feuds. Mr. Benson, the Socialist candidate for the presidency, is probably merely Voicing what many other people are beginning to think when he says that unions a halt of some sort Is called on the exportation of foodstuffs, a most serious situation will soon develop in this country. Mr. lienson styles it as a disaster. As he points out if the high cost of living continues to get higher it will become so high by next spring that many people here will be hard put to it to obtain the things '.hey need to eat. Dr. T. Iyenaga, the head of Japan's publicity bureau, rather pertinently u4Uiis wiiy a ioi ot russ is being made in this country in regard to maintaining the "open door" in China. -What has America been doing?" he asks. "Her trade with China has not seen much progress while Japan's has increased by leaps and bounds. While you are driving American ships out of the Pacific by legislation, while you arV withdrawing government support to bankers i-nd thus losing opportun ities to invest your abundant capital is there much to make a fuss about T" THE RIHAL SCHOOL TERM. In a recent issue of the Progressive Farmer, which wag also designated as the Education Special, Clarence Poe, its editor, presented one of the most fearless, logical and eloquent pleas ever made for a longer school term for the rural children of the South. And as his appeal for this essential educational reform is also of vital in terest to the entire country, it ha3 been issued by the United States bu reau of education as one of its bulle tins in the nation-wide campaign that it is waging for better rural schools. "We must give the boys and girls of the rural South longer school terms," declares Mr. Poe "and we must do this no matter what it costs in time, effort or money. Not only is it true that in no other sectio i of the United States are the people doing so little for their boys and girls as wa are doing not only is it true that probably no country in Christendom except Russia is doing so little for its boys and girls as we in the South are doing, but the shameful fact is that when the writer was in Japan, he found even that so-called heathen country aroused to the importance of education and giving its country boys and girls twice as long a term as we are giving ours and with teompulsory attendance. "Simply to stir us up and shame us into action, we are reprinting the table prepared by the Russell Sage Founda tion, showing the number of days schooling received by the average child in each state in 1910. We of the South have made gratifying progress since then, to be sure, but yet all too little. Your boys and girls, kind read er, your boys and girls here in North Carolina who were getting only fifty one days average in 1910, South Caro lina's with fifty days, Virginia's with fifty-eight, and Georgia's with sixty two these boys and girls of ours must face the competition of boys and girls from Massachusetts who were getting 131 days average, from Ohio who were getting 113, from Illinois who were getting 108, and from Wash ington who were getting 107, and so on down the line. Are you willing simply in order to save a few pennies to send your boys and girls out intG life less well equipped than their com petitors? "Nor can we lay the flattering unc tion to our souls that in proportion to our means we of the South are doing as well as people of the other states are doing. We are not." And the competition, pointed out by Mr. Poe, that the rural school children of the South have to meet because of the longer school term that is en joyed by the country boys and girl in some of the eastern, and northern states, is no more severe, and no more of a handicap, perhaps not such a heavy one, as is the competition which is thrust on the rural school children in every state, Kansas included, be cause of the much longer school term of which the boys and girls of the cities have the advantage. In every state there Is a wide dis parity between the length of the city and the rural school terms, and so in every state there is a crying need that the rural school terms be lengthened, in order that the boys and girls of the country can have at least as good educational facilities and opportun ities in this important respect as have the girls and boys of the cities. OUR WAR PROSPERITY. "The upward surge in values gain ed renewed force," writes Henry Clews, the New York banker in his weekly financial review under date of October 21. "They applied to com modities and securities alike, not only In the United States, but in the world over. All neutral countries are enjoying exceptional prosperity, and in this respect :he United States far outdistances every one of them. The war, of course, is th supreme Influ ence, all other factors being of minor importance compared with this one. Even our election, full as it is of im portant potentialities, is completely overshadowed by the cataclysm across the sea. This war is almost entirely responsible for the scarcity of both commodities and labor. Short crops are a. factor that cannot be over looked; nevertheless the old and sup posedly obsolete law of supply and de mand is working ceaselessly with an energy never before experienced, be cause of the struggle now devastating Europe. This week wheat and corn touched new high points, with indica tions that still higher figures may pos sibly be reached. All foot products are rising, and the same is true of clothing, while our mineral industries iron, 'steel, copper, petroleum, etc. are rushed at a pace far exceeding the most daring expectations of a year ago. Bradstreet's commodity index number was 12.0399 October 1, an ad vance of 22 per cent since the war be gan. Industries dependent upon ag ricultural and mineral products are reaping directly or indirectly large profits as a- result of war inflation, but their prosperity is small compared with what has been reached by a few of the big industries, notably those en gaged in the fabrication of steel. 'The question forced upon our minds is how long can such high ten sion prosperity last; and have we in the United States reached the crest of the wave? I think not; because the end of the war, on which all this fe verish rush depends, is not yet in sight. Apparently there will be no peace for many months at least. Signs of serious exhaustion on either side are still wanting; reason has lost its sway, and mad passion rules all belligerents. Until the power of one side or the other is broken it would seem that peace will be impossible. The Allies are already negotiating for another big loan on this side; steel for munitions is, being ordered deliv erable into the third quarter of 1917, and ships, guns and munitions are be ing turned out with greater intensity than at any time during the war. Such efforts do not portend peace. They rather suggest further sacrifices, fur ther destruction and more and more waste; altho it may be that change of mind or breakdown of strength will develop when least expected. In an event, the immediate outlook for peace is remote and this conviction i'. the prime source of present market strength. America cannot avoid look ing on in sorrow at the harrowing spectacle, but our people and our gov ernment are alike incapable of inter fering or affecting the issue in any way. All neutrals are benefiting from the needs of the belligerents; the United States, owing to its industrial capacity, naturally profiting far more than any other. When the war is over,, this county will find itself in a vastly strengthened position. It will be financially independent of Europe; and out of the vast profits made from the war, it will doubtless be enabled to assist many of the suffering na tions of Europe to recover their im paired positions by depending largely upon this country for the capital and material needed for reconstruction. The world has never seen such an example of the folly of war, or th-' wisdom of peace, as will appear when peace arrives." A bluff often does very well unti! it is called. Altogether too many people are ready to quit before they are beaten. The real hero is the fellow who doesn't wear the medal his heroism has won. H: Memory is usually dependable in respect to -the things that should be forgotten. Life's burdens are seldom any heav ier than those who have to carry them make them. n JATHIAWKER JOTS L This is a good time, advises the Hutchinson News, to drag roads and get them in the best possible condition for fall and winter wear. Things appear to be a little dull in Frankfort, Marshall county. Listen to this from the editor of the Frankfort Index: If there is anything new under the sun we d like some one to start it in this town. A first class dog fight would be better than a continuation of nothing. A Chase county man saw his first football game when he went to Cot tonwood Falls the other day, reports the Coffeyville Journal, and it sug gests that up till that time he had probably harbored the delusion that football was a game wherein the play ers kicked the ball. Noting the report of a child born in Atchison which has two hands in front and one behind, the Concordia Kansan says: That ehild when U grows up will find that extra fist be hind mighty convenient, if he becomes a politician if some people's notion of a thrifty politician is correct. Observations by the Norton Tele gram: Lots of us are making haste without having any idea as to where we are going. Time may fly faster than we want it to, but most of us have to keep up with it. The high cost of prunes Is making life more pleasant for the boarding house inhabitants. If some would get up in the morning with as good grace as they stay up until morning it would help some. Life is like a card game in one respect and that is that there are always plenty to tell you how you ought to play your hand. GLOBE SnSMTS From the Atchison Globe. Happiness and unhappineeg always register. A true sportsman is one .who en joys eing uncomfortable. Every candidate gets plenty of en couragement until election. A woman's idea of close economy is to have her husband quit smoking. Most of the hurrying is done in an effort to catch up, rather than to get ahead. If you had a hero medal a lot of people would mistake it for a lodge emblem. The pessimist may not have much fun, but he avoids quite a number of disa ppointments. A man who one. had money, and lost it, proba.bly feels his poverty worse than anyone else. Tt depends upon who perpetrates it whether the rough stuff is anarchy or only a college prank. It probably is possible for a man to love his country without thinking much of his government. It is so often said of a drunkard that he is a brilliant man when sober, which is often a dang lie. A little man can always derive some satisfaction by thinking of Vhat a bearcat Napoleon was in his time. If a man's corn hurts him, it is hard for him to believe a toothache might be more painful, it being the present trouble which seems the most real. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News'. Hinges of true friendship never grow rusty. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst and take what comes. Executive ability is the power to get another to do your work. Some clubs cause scolding wives and some scolding wives cause clubs. The judgment of Solomon was great, but he never tried to umpire a base ball game. Many a man tells a woman she's the only one he ever loved merely from force of habit. The first thing a man does after making a fool of himself is to try to explain how it happened. tVhen there is more than one way of doing a thing the average man in variably does it the wrong way. ss spurn of TIE MOMENT T EOT K.

When Mr. Binks moved into the new house he knew as much about running a hot air furnace as a stuffed angora cat knows about the fourth dimension. His experience with hot air had been entirely of a political and social nature. The man who had been livi- g in the house said that he had always burned gas coke and left explicit directions. But Mr. Binks could never remember whether to leave the draft up and the check down or when to leave them both up and both down. Mrs. Binks had her own ideas upon the subject and when Mr. Binks would pull the chains one way, Mrs. Binks would go and reverse them. She claimed that woman's well known in tuition guided her, but she always re versed the chains no matter which way they happened to be. Between Mrs. Binks and Mr. Binks, it was in tuition against absolute ignorance and intuition was a 12 to 1 shot. "What makes your house so cold?" asked the first neighbor who called "What do you burn?" "Gas coke," replied Mr. Binks. "All wrong, my boy," said the neigh bor. "Try Solvay. I burn Solvay and 1 can drive you out of my house on the coldest day." "I told you so," said Mrs. Binks when the neighbor had departed. "We must try Solvay.". And they did. "It seems chilly here to me," said the second neighbor who called. "What are you burning?" "I am burning Solvay coke," said Mr. Binks with all of the dignity and finality of an expert. "You're foolish," said the neighbor. "I am burning soft coal and it delivers the goods. Try soft coal and you'll never regret it." "I told you so," said Mrs. Binks when the neighbor had gone. "We must try soft coal." And they did. "It seems funny you can't heat this place," remarked a third neighbor who called. "Now, I don't have a bit of trouble heating my house and it is a much larger house than this. I burn hard coal. What do you burn?" "Burn soft coal," replied Mr. Binka, wearily. "You're a chump," said the neigh bor, "try anthracite." "I told you so," said Mrs. Binks when she had closed the door upon the caller. "We must try hard coal." And they did. The man who had lived in the house before the Binkses moved in came to call and said he had never seen the house so cold. "You should have stuck to gas coke," he said rather disgustedly. "How do you operate the chains?" "We put the right one up and the left one down in the daytime, and the left one up tnd the right one down in the night," said Mr. Binks. "No. we don't," said Mrs. Binks. "Henry thinks we do, but I always change them after ne goes to Ded ana then I come down and change them three or four times' during the night and even that doesn't do any good for the fire is always out in the morn ing." "I would advise you to move into -a steam heated hotel, said the man. "I told you so," said Mrs. Binks when the man had departed. "We must move into a steam heated hotel.' And they did. SHOE TALKS BY BOTH CAMERON. j Screens. This is to be a word about screens. Not the kmd of screens you put in windows, but the kind you put be tween you and yourself so that you cannot see yourself too clearly. When I am having difficulty in ex pressing myselr in writing, I find my self leaving my desk, ostensibly to sharpen my pencil, actually to get away from the painful effort of con centration. The idea that I must sharpen my pencil is what I mean by a screen. I put it up between me and my actual motive so that I won't have to admit I am trying to shirk. The child who feels ill at quarter of nine in the morning and recovers at half-past nine, when it is too late for him to be sent to school, shows how early in life we begin to use screens. Of course that might be deliberate shamming, but far more often a child deceives himself. I know, because I can vaguely remember even now the mental processes of one little girl who hated school so much that the ap proach of 9 o'clock helped to give her a sick feeling at her stomach. My brother used to call it my "ginger cookie sickness," becailse before the .forenoon was over I had recovered sufficiently to eat a dozen ginger cookies. The Pharisee who stood in the market place and prayed and disfig ured himself that men might know he was fasting, is a classic example of the use of screens. "We all, wise and foolish, use them, more or less, in one way or another, from the beginning to the end. The difference between the man who thinks and the man who doesn't is that the man who thinks knows he uses screens and tries to push them j away, and the man who doesn't think never evrii utJr-ws iu A man told me the other day that he didn't consider a certain woman he had just met at all prettj-, altho she has that reputation. The next day he said: "Last night she looked really pretty to me, and I am glad. You see, she evidently didn't like to dance with me and I was afraid that made me think her plain. I'm glad to find I'm not so small." There is a man who is thoughtful enough to suspect himself of using screens. And by the same token there is a man who is likely to go, far.

(By Mabel S. Merrill.) "Because he is a total failure and a blot on the fair name of a hard-working family, I give and bequeath my great-nephew, Nicholas Wye, nothing but the shop in the orchard and the contents of the same." Nicholas Wye, better known as uia Nick, tho he was neither old nor ma licious, sat on the orchard wall and looked thoughtfully at the little weather-blackened building which was his sole share in the goodly estates be longing to the Wye homestead on the hili. Then he looked down at the newspaper in his hand with its black headline. The editor of the Bowen ville Herald had thought old man Wye's will such a humorous docu ment that he had made a front-page story about Old Nick and his legacy. Nick crumpled the paper and tried to cram it into his pocket as a light step came down the road. He kner it was Floris Hanson coming home from her labors at the little old school house down the lane. Somehow Nick always happened to pe around some where when Floris came along, altho he seldom ventured to speak to her. The village teacher was a person so much looked up to in Bowenville that Nick's cousin, Abel Wye, heir to the homestead on the hill, had made a bid for her favor with a view to securing a suitable mistress for his fine old house. To Nick's surprise, Floris stopped today and spoke to him. Phe had a cooy of the Herald in her hand and her eves were sparkling indignantly. "It's a shame. Mr. Wye," she de clared. "That editor ought to be prosecuted and so had your uncle-oh, no, I forgot he is dead. Well, any way, I we all know you're not a bint and .1 total failure." "Well, you see that was Uncle Zeb's way o' looking at it, explained imck good naturedly. "All the Wyes had worked like time and saved every cent till I came along. Used up all the family ginger so there didn't seem to be any left for me. I've had to hunt and fish and loaf enough to make up for all they missed." When Floris had gone on her way, he got off the wall and gravely in spected the shop, the only piece of property he had ever owned. It was a rough, solid little building, its two rooms well lighted by big windows, for Uncle Zeb had used it for a paint shop. It was empty save for a heap of rubbish in one corner. "Now, if he'd left me a little some thing to begin the world on how'd he know but rd reform?" mused Nich olas, pulling over the heap. "Hello, what's this?" It was a substantial keg of white paint, with a smaller one of green resting atop of it. Old Nick was a humorist in his way and his eyes be gan to twinkle as he examined this find. "Maybe Uncle Zeb did better by me than he thought," chuckled the new owner of the property. "I might sell this, bii't on the whole I believe I'll make some use of it myself. Used to like to paint and, anyway, it'll be a Job to work at while She's going by." The capitalized pronoun stood for the mistress in his thoughts. The next afternoon when Floris passed she stared in amazement. In this shady orchard corner, the little building, painted clean white with a small stripe of dark green for a finish, looked like the fairy house she had sometimes seen in her dreams when her boarding place in the village was worse than usual. Nick was inside painting the woodwork. With a wom an's interest in beauty and cleanliness, Floris stepped along to the door and looked in. "Oh, Mr. Nicholas," she exclaimed, "you're making it just lovely! Don't have a rtiing, will you, but the clean white and green "That's my idea, certainly," averred Nick gravely. "What color would you have the floors?" "Green, too," decided Floris eagerly. "Only not so dark; you'll know how to tone it down. Why, you are an art ist, and you've never let us find it out!" It was not long before the fairy house in the orchard attracted the at tention of there beside the school mistress. The village thought that a spasm of industry had seized Old Nick at last, but he was only earning money by odd jobs in order to beautify that small building under the apple trees. ne Dunt a little piazza and a tiny jiaiiit snop out Dy tne wall in which to keep his pails and brushes and other utter, tor it was plain now that the old shop was a shop no longer. Thru the clean front window curious pas sersby could see a papered wall blos soming with half-opened rosebuds in a mist of green leaves. A local in The Herald announced with newborn po liteness that Mr. Nicholas Wye was making extensive repairs .on his cot tage. Every afternoon Nick was waiting to ask the advice of the school mistress abo jt this or that. One day he took her fito his confidence about his plans for the future for it developed that Old Nick had plans for the future at last. Whatever they were. Floris en tered into them with such enthusiasm that the very next morning the aston ished town spied a green and white board hanging outside the little new shop over by the wall. It bore the leg end: NICHOLAS WYE, SIGN PAINT ING and Other Fine Work, and in the shop the artist had specimens of his skill to show to inquirers. The result was a rush of custom which promised to last, for the town was convulsed by a boom period and there was no other painter as yet. Moreover, other towns in like condition were within easy reach. "Made seven dollars tod.iv." Old Nick informed Floris one afternoon when she looked in at the "cottage" on her way home. "There'll be work enough, and I've always been looking for some job that wasn't too steady to let me go fishing more or less." "I'll go with you." vowed Floris with a long breath. "Only think, Nick, of sun and air and freedom after five years of that stuffy school house. I've been a grypey in exile all this time, that's what I've been! I like l.berty and a trout brook as well as you do. Aid housekeeping in two rooms isn't going to hinder much." "Then you ain't repented yet?" asked Nicholas. "I laid awake half the night wondering U I'd dreamed it that you faid yes when I asked you if you'd marry Old Nick. I expected you'd get thinking how the neighbors would look at it." "I don't care how anybody looks at it, averred the little teacher serenely,, "except ourselves. And of course I said yes. Do you supose I was going to let any other woman glide around on those lovely green floors?" (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) DINNER STORIES Two colored troopers in Chihuahua called upon the chapjain. "Look here, Mr. Chaplain, we wants you for to settle an argu ment," said one of them. "Dls here man says lots of saints were colored folks. Would you please tell me how many of dem 'postles were niggers?' "None of them was a darky," said the chaplain. "Well, sir, that settles it. Dis man wanted me to believe that St. Peter was a nigger, rd I just told him: 'No, sah, St. Peter was no iligger, 'cause I heard you say about St. Peter and c"at rooster crowin' twice. If St. Peter was a nigger I jest know 3at rooster would never have a second time; no-, sah. M A certain popular young man has a small daughter of four summers. Re cently he escorted her to one of the numerous county fairs hereabouts. She became thirsty, and he conduct ed her to the building in which tho women of a church were serving din ners and selling 30ft drinks. He bought the child a bottle of pop, mean while chatting .with tho group of church women who were admiring the little girl. When the pop bottle was handed to the tiny mips she sipped at it doubt fully, then tri?d it again, whereupon her early suspicion seemed to have been confirmed for she piped out, in a childish treble: "Say, papa, this doesn't taste like the beer we have at home." With a face that vainly endeavor ed to appear mournful, and eyes that strove to prcduce a respectable flow of tears, Patrick Murphy O'Do lan entered a draper's shop. "I want ye to tell me," he began, "phwat the custom is for th' wearin' iv mournin the depth of it, I mane?" "Well," replied the assistant, "of course it varies. If it's a near rela tive a band of black on the sleeve or hat, and for a more distant friend a black tie is enough." For some moments Patrick Mur phy O'Dolan considered. "Give me a shoe lace," l.e said, at last. "It's me wife's mother." Smith got married. The evening of his first payday he gave his bride J14 of the $15 salary and kept only a dol lar for himself. But the second payday Smith gave his wife $1 and kept $14 himself. "Why, John," she cried, in injured tones, "how on earth do you think I can manage for a whole week on a paltry dollar?" "Darned if I know," he answered. "I had a rotten time myself last week. Its your turn now." r THE ELOPEMENT By BRINK ERHOFF. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A Few "Oon'ts."

Father Beaver was not very pleased. You remember he had tried that magic circle business once before and had been disappointed, and it was not much wonder he didn't care to try again. Father Beaver didn't care to get fooled the same way twice any more than you or I do! But there was a funny look In Policeman Billy's eye when he made the suggestion: there was no doubt about that! And Father Beaver thought that Policeman Billy might. Just might. Know what he was talking about. "Very well," said he, "let's go try." "There's no 'let's' about it." replied Policeman Billy, "you havcto go by yourself. The magic circle won't work- if more than one goes." "All, rijht. then." laughed Father Beaver. "I'll go myself. But you'll see that it won't work. Policeman Billy. And when it don't work, don't you dare laush at mo. don't you dare!" Father Beaver nhok his head solemn ly at Policeman Billy and Graytail. You see he didn't -like to be laughed at any more than the next fllow! They promised that they wouldn't and Father Beaver set off in the di rection of the magic circle. And as he slipped along from shadow to shadow, he thought about that look on Policeman Billy's face; that look thit eeemed to promise that this n agic wi-h would corne true. 'He asked me if 1 could possibly gret tat raft off the dam." thought P'athei Beaver, "and of course I can't. No what dots he mean by that?"' A'ld Just at that minute. Father Beav er remembered what Redhead had said the magic circle would not grant ORfNirePrWPP teaspoons' baking powder, two eggs beaten light. Add one-half cup sug ar, beat light again, then add two teaspoons melted butter, one cup of sweet milk Pour meal and flour into milk and egg and beat light.

Add this mixture to one and one-hatf cups flour in which has been sifted two tablespoons baking powder. Lastly add two ""?11 beaten eggs and bake in hot buttered muffin pans. Two Kinds of Cake. If two kinds of cake are desired at the same time the following recipe can be modified so as to make two entirely different cakes out of the same mixture. Mix all the ingredi ents together except the chocolate and nuts. Take half of this mixture and bake In small layer pans, to be frosted with chocolate or maple frosting. Add half the stated amount of nuts and chccolate to the remaining mixture and bake in a sheet, to be frosted With white frosting. Here are the ingredients: Two cups granulated sugar, one-half cup butter, four eggs, one cup milk, two and one-half cups flour, four teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon vanilla, two squares chocolate, one cup broken wa'nuts.

As an example in bread materials flour ha3 gone up 100rr, sugar 100rc, shortening 100, wrappers 2005 and so on through the entire list. In order not to increase our prices nor cut down the size of the loaves in order that we may give you just as much bread for your money as heretofore we are putting out thi3 new big loaf, which will solve the problem, at least for the present. "THE BIGGER THE LOAF THE BETTER THE BREAD" It is a recognized fact that the larger the loaf the better the flavor and texture of the bread. The big loaf will not dry out so quickly and will retain its freshness longer. i You Get Better Bread in the Jumbo Loaves Try the New 15c Butter-Nut It's on Sale at Your Grocer's.

That man has no right to strike me, as hard as I work. I wash and scrub and take care of his child. I give him the money I earn Then he gets drunk and beats me." Mrs. Burns, with a boudoir cap on her head, struggled thru the rain, lead ing a little child, to seek the protec tion cf the police. 'I want him arrested," she said, again crying. "Oh, think of it. I want my husband arrested for beat ing me." "What's his name?" asked a ser geant. "Harve Burns. He lives at 508 East Fourth street. He's drunk and he beat me until I had to run to a neighbor's house for protection." "Harve Burns is in jail," said the sergeant'. 'We just brought him in." "Oh, I'm glad of it," said the wife. "Now I can take my little girl home In safety. He beat another woman, too." Other Husband Along. "Yes, we know all about that," said the sergeant. "That's the reason he'a in jail. The other woman came in with her husband about half an hour ago and swore out a warrant for him." Apparently Burns went on a ram page this forenoon. When he was brought into the station he was walk ing so straight he leaned backward. Ht was stepping high and trying to hide a badly bruised face. Mrs. J. Sutherlin was the other woman he is alleged to have beaten. She and her" husband called first at the county attorney's office, then went to the city attorney who issued a war rant for Burns. 'I didn't know the man at all," said Mrs. Sutherlin. "He was beating his wife and came outside. He started- after me and ran me clear up on my own porch. Then he struck me over the head and knocked me down. 1 am bruised frightfully." Mrs. Burns verified all that the other woman had charged against Burns. Thru it all the little daughter of Burns hung to Mrs. Burns's knee and amused herself with safety pins. IRON WORK COMPLETE All the Sliungatiuiig;a Bridge Lacks Is tlie Paving. vr. Inclement weather, acording to the cit. officials, is the only thing stand ing in the way of the speedy comple tion of the East Sixth avenue bridge over Shunganunga creek, thereby end ing a lengthy period of isolation for the East side.

Maybe at some time in their lives members of the appeal board had just such an experience hiked a big pot on three cold aces and then discovered that the opposing player was standing pat. Whether members did or not, they forg'ave the woman who stole a fourth ace from her shoe to beat a pat hand and passed that now famous movie, ''The Kiss," right over the head pf the Rev. Festus Foster, chairman of the state censor board. It was a sight to make the blood of a lover of the great American game run cold. There sat a pretty woman losing one pot after another. Finally luck seemed to join her again and the dealer presented her with three aces. L?p went the pot and the dark haired villain stayed. The pretty girl called for two cards and didn't help her hand a bit. The villain stood pat. Ruin faced the girl. She dropped a card to the floor, reached for it but instead pulled a fourth ace from a low shoe. "Can't blame her a single speck," said some one who probably had been in a similar predicament. The board evidently had the same opinion. The Rev. Festus Foster per mitted the gambling scene all right but objected to a scene showing cheat ing at cards. More difficulty Is being encountered by the appeal board in deciding whether "The Common Law" shall be shown in Kansas. A decision hadn't been reached late this afternoon.

Oct. 24. "The Wilson Adamsoo wage increase bill will do more than any one thing to defeat I'rexi.lent Wilson's ambition to suc ceed himself." Republican Chairman W:llcnx declared today in a Matement mailed to Washington newspaper cor e pondents. "Mr. Wilson may have succeeded in palminn off a Kold brick on the presi dents of the railway brotherhoods, but he can't deceive the men they repre sent, once they pet a chance to exam ine the hill for themselves." He declared the Adamson act makes cv. ry r.iilway employe subject not or.lv to injunction, but to a fine of $1"0 11 fl.'i'iO or one year's impris onment, or both, for interfering with interstate traffic. This fact had been pointed to him by William J. Pinker ton, member of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and candidate against W O. Lee for president of that organization at the last election. The announcement of President Lov ett of the I'nion Pacific and President T.'nderwond of the Krie of their sup port of Wilson should make railroad mt n su.picu.us, Willcox said.

Cost of railroad material and sup plies has advanced. 60 to nearly 800 per cent, according to commodity, it was asserted by W. E. Hodges, vice president of the Santa Fe railroad, headquarters Chicago, in Topeka today. Mr. Hodges came into Topeka this morning and spent the day visiting his department here and with various of ficials of the road. Sitting in his private car on the Santa Fe tracks, near the station he outlined the "cost of material" situa tion, which has been a bugaboo tor American railroads since the begin ning of the war. However, Mr. Hodges does not believe the high cost of material would prevent construc tion. "If the Santa Fe needed to build any lines it would probably build them," he said. Mr. Hodges visited the storehouse department this afternoon and was scheduled to leave at 5 o'clock this afternoon. It was said he will prob ably return to Toueka for the stock holders' meeting Thursday when a special trainload of other Chicago of ficials will be here.

That the "Cath olic' party in the Protestant Episco pal conference still has considerable vitality was the prediction today fol lowing a resolution introduced in the house of deputies last night to incor porate the phrase, "The Holy Catholic church" on the title page of the an cient church liturgy. The proposition was referred -to the joint commission on common prayer and probably will be acted on late today. It was thought the "Catholic fac tion would not ask any changes fol lowing the lack of interest in a propo sition earlier in the conference ses sion, to change the name of the church to the "Catholic Church of America. Didn't Change Commandments. It was also learned today that no change in the ten commandments would be made at this conference. Last week it was Yumored the house of bishops, the upper house of the church, favored the shortening of the commandments. Today it definitely said the joint commission on revising and enriching the liturgy of th church would not present the matter at the present conference. Whether the commission would continue its work and report to the next Detroit conference in ly 19 could not be learned. VALUES HERNAME Woman Wants $10,000 From Man Who Slandered Her, Is Claim. Clara F. Cannon conducts a rooming home at 226-228 Kansas avenue, up stairs. George Christopher operates the Topeka Fruit and Produce com pany downstairs. Today Clara F. Can non brought an $11,000 damage suit in the district court against George Christopher charging him with ruin' ing her business and slandering her good name. The plaintiff says in her petition that Christopher persisted in calling upon her roomers and offering them money, fruit and beer, until finally, one of them, Mrs. Irene Ready, a mar ried woman, left the place in order to avoid Christopher and his approaches. She declares also that Christopher told Mrs. Ready that Mrs. Clara Can ndn was entertaining Mexicans in her rooming house and that it was be cause of such "slanderous statements' and her desire to avoid Christopher that Mrs. Ready left the rooming house. It is the contention of Clara Cannon that Christopher's statements con cerning, her have .cost her 1,000 in loss of business at the rooming house and at a restaurant which she also operates. That accounts for J1.000 of the total. She adds that the "libelous and scandalous statements" made re garding her by Christopher have ruined her good name and she places a valuation of $10,000 upon that. Clara Cannon says she challenges Christopher or any other person to question her good name. STRIKE VOTE IN OKLA. Submit QnesUon at Special Convention Affects 9,000 Men. McAlester, Okla., Oct. 24. The question of whether or not the coal miners of Oklahoma shall go on a strike will be submitted to a soeciai convention of the miners here tomor- iow. the special convention was called as tne result or failure to reach a agreement with the Oklahoma Coal Operators' association at a conference nere two weeks ago. Negotiations were broken off at the conrerence when the conference failed to reach an agreement upon disputed points in sections 4 and 6 of the tro- posed biennial working contract. These yectiens deal with the employment and discharge of men and the collection of fines for violations of contracts ai promulgated at the Kansas City con ference recently of operators and miners from Oklahoma, Arkansas, ivansas and Missouri. It is estimated that between 9,000 and 10,000 miners are affected, ap proximately 98 per cent of the coal companies of Oklahoma being affili ated with the Oklahoma Coal Opera tors' association. If local delegates de cide to strike, indorsement by the United Mine Workers of America is necessary before the miners can for mally call a strike. TOPEKAGIRLS "EASY" Endless Chain Petticoat Scheme Pa tronized Here. More than one pretty Topeka maid en was disappointed last week by hav ing a letter returned to her by the pofftoffice department in which she had enclosed 10 cents in silver and the names of five of her friends. When these letters were sent. the writers had visions of receiving a spring medel 1916 petticoat worth $4.75 for 10 cents in pilvcr and a small amount of work. The work consisted simply in writing a form letter to one's friends about the wonderful line of garments put out by the National Mail Order and Brokerage Exchange, 520 Globe street, Minneapolis, Minn. It was just another of those "end less chain" schemes instigated by per sons who use woman's vanit; as their material upon which to work. Fed eral agents are searching foi officials of the company who are wanted for using the mails to defraud. But in the meantime a lot of To peka girls are wondering why they were so "easy." But the thing was so alluring, a silk petticoat for 10 cents, just think of it. SCENT A JURY PLOT j Willingness of Men to Serve Arouses 1 Humor It's Packed for McDaniel. St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 24.

I favor a more practical course for our rural htfcb schools. Ninety per cent of the high school students never attend college. Tbey should have a liberal course adapted to their needs. When this Is done they will become more interested In home work and they will be content to remain on the farm. The cry "Back to the farm" will nver bring them back. We must do some thing to keep them on the farm. Parent-Teachers associatlona and Community Welfare Clubs will do much to solve the farm and school problems Hundreds of boys and girls would be ?lad to attend high school three or our months In the year, but we bare nothing to offer them; but we do pro Tide for the 10 per cent who wtah to attend college. I am not fighting the college and university. They re lndispenslble, they do a grand and noble work. Why not help the ninety per cent Connty Unit. A bill favoring County Unit was be fore our legislature two years ago, and will be up again. The general plan Is to abolish all school boards and elect or appoint three who will bare absolute control of all the schools In the county. All the people will have to do Is to fiay the bill. Are the people asking or thin? Who Is it that is taking so much interest in you? Have you re ceived any circulars explaining this proposed law? I am opposed to any form of this law. Advertisement.

OTTAVANO CINCH Kennedy Says Baptists Fight Hard on Home Grounds. formal Piyotal Point Around Which All Dope Revokes. Kveryboly at "Washburn except Poc tor Kennedy is expecting an easy vic tory when the Ichabods go against the vitawa Baptists next r naay. "I am not so sure about this cinch stuff," Kennedy says. "I have played Ottawa before at Ottawa and I want to tell you those Baptists always put up a hard fight on their own grounds. I hope to win and telleve our boys ought to do so. but I am taking noth ing for granted." With practically no unpleasant physical reminders of the hard game against Baker, all of Captain Stew art's men were out for practice Mon day night and the evening's work end ed with a lively scrimmage. (anic on Kritlay. Unless something unforeseen breaks into the arrangements, practically the same lineup will be used against Ot tawa as was used in the Baker con test. There has been some misunder standing about the date of the Ottawa game, it appearing on the Washburn schedule for Saturday and on the Ot tawa card for Friday. But it was an nounced definitely today that the game will be played on Friday, the date specified in the contract. While he was pleased with the tri umph over Coach Schlademan's men, Doctor Kennedy is not entirely satis fied with the way his team is round4 ing into shape, and he is anxious to get the formations to running off mora smoothly, to see an improvement in me aeiense against, aenai auacKs. Worst Weakness. This latter was one of the most glaring weaknesses of the Ichabod squad last Saturday and time after time the Bakerites were able to com plete passes for long -ains. They even got away with their air tactics ao well that they became bold enough to attempt a double delayed forward pass, something that is rarely seen in the Kansas conference. Of the whole Ichabod line, the end positions held down by Calihan and Trull have probably made more prog ress since the Cooper game than any ether part of the machine. However, 1t was very apparent last Saturday that Captain Stewart has been able to over come the handicap the responsibility of leadership put him under in the earlier games and he was again the "Terrific Tiny Sam." getting thru the line and smearing 'em ripht and left when Baker had the ball and plow Injar thru for good gains when the Ichabods were on the offense. Normal Looms Strong. Kvery lick of practice this week in the Washburn camp will have a double purpose behind it, and in addition to making preparations for the Ottawa game the coach and men have already begun to prime themselves for the meeting with the Emporia Normal team Friday week at Emporia. In many ways the game against Hariss" teachers is the most impor tant one on the whole Ichabod sched ule. Victory means that Washburn will be able to make a claim for the state title, while defeat will not only put Kennedy's proteges out of the run ning in thisJine but also will indicate pretty conclusively that they will be A DOLLAR If you have it it looks small BUT if you do not have it it looks wonderfully larere.

The Normal team, by the way, seems to be the pivotal point around which all Sunflower gridiron dope is revolv ing this season. Having tied the Quak ers, the Emporians assumed one of the two most important places in the conference sun early in the season, and since their meeting with the Aggies last Saturday all dope on the "Wildcat K. IT. clash is based on the compara tive scores of these teams and of the Normals. Comparisons Close. Early in the season K. IT. defeated the Normals 13 to 0 in the curtain raiser for both elevens. Thirteen to three was the best the Aggies could do against the Normals last week, and the only thing that keeps the Teachers from proving the exact com bination to the dope values is the fact that many believe the Clevenger men played a conservative game last week. Taking everything into considera tion, one of three conclusions must be reached in the Manhattan-Lawrence situation Either the Normals have improved greatly since their game with K. U.; the Aggies did not play up to their best Saturday or the Aggies were far above their usual form when they held the Nebraskans to a skimpy two touchdowns. Judging from the hard fight they put up against "Washburn last week, it seems conservative to predict that the Baker players will give Friends university a real engagement Friday at Baldwin. The Methodists are well organized, they have plenty of snap and fight, and stinging under the stig ma of defeat they surely will try to redeem themselves with home town fans and supporters looking on. COACH A SOLDIER, TOO Line Mentor at Northwestern Has to Return to the Border. Evanston, 111., Oct. 24. Elmer Mc Devitt, line coach at Northwestern university, is on his way today to re join the Minnesota National Guard at the border. Captain McDevitt obtained leave of absence a short time ago that he might help coach Murphy at North western. He hopes to be allowed to return before the football season is ended. HOPPE TO MEET SUTTON IN BALK LINE CUE MATCH The first clash of the professional balk line billiard players this season will take place in St. Louis on October I 30 and 31, and November 1, with the principals, William F. Hoppe, holder of the world's championship in every balk line style of play, and George Sutton, the veteran contender from Chicago, meeting. Friends of Sutton who have seen him practice recently in Chicago hope, even believe, he may be able to wrest the title from the al most invincible Hoppe. His practice has shown a number of high runs combined with greater steadiness than the one-time champion has displayed for some time. On the basis of past performances, however, as well as the fact that youth and stamina are on the side of Hoppe, there is with the general billiard public only a fleeting idea that the Chicago player will be able to make more than a creditable I record.

It may not be able to tear the Aggie machine into shoestrings Saturday, but by the time of the Missouri game, look out!" The dope on the Wildcat-Jnyhawker meeting gives neither camp much to build hopes upon. Judging from the Kinporln Normal showing against the two teams it would seem that K. U. has the edge. Also, the university has the advantage of being at home. But there are many who believe the Wildcats did not extend them selves last Saturday and that they have their sleeves full for this week's clash. The longest run of the present gridiron seanon was made last Saturday when Conn, of the Oregon Aggies, picked up a fir-uble behind his own goal line aud raced the full length of the field for a touch down. However, it takes more than deeds of valor like this to humble the mighty Cornhuskcrs. "Red" Willets. captain of the Washburn freshmen, denies that he has ambitions to become a Vtrmm Castle. He also refuses to admit that he has ever attempted to do any pirating in the realms of Dan Cupid. It may not Interest yon very much, but it has been announced on good authority that Fred Fulton will engage Andre An derson in fistic encounter in Eau Claire, Win.. Friday night. The scrap will prob ably be about what the name of the place indicates. The 5.000-mile trip made by the TJntrer slty of Nebraska last week to Portland to play the Oregon Aggies is not to stand as the longest trip made by a football team Hits season.

"Bill" O'Hara, once star leftfielder of the Toronto International league team and a former scout for the New Tork National league club, has been recom mended for the military cross in rec ognition of his bravery and skill In hurling bombs for the British army on the Somme battle front, according to advices received here. Baseball men here say it was a common occurrence for O'Hara to head off a too daring baserunner at the plate by a long, quick throw from the outfield. According to word from Toronto, the practice he had in base ball has stood him in good stead while heading a bombing squad. JOSH DEVORE IN "BONEHEAD" ROLE FOR STALLINGS Many humorous stories are told about George Stallings and his "bone heads." The best one was when George was managing the Yanks, when they played on the old hilltop grounds. Ray Demmltt was then with the team, and a Yank was on third, with two out. Ray turned to the big chief for advice, and asked: "Shall I try to bring him in with a long fly, Mr. Stallings?" "You better fly into the clubhouse," said the irate George, "or I'll massacre you." Then there is the more recent story about an incident during the Braves' pen nant drive in 1914. "Xow, if Gowdy gets on, 'Bonehead' will bat for the pitcher," said George. Gowdy got on and every Boston reserve ran out and grabbed a stick. However, Stallings had -particular reference that day to Josh Devorc.

INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS BY CHARLES E. BIUCKLEY. Drop Kicking. I have never been able to under stand why more attention is not paid 1 to the development of drop kickers j among the colleges. As I said before, j drop kicking is not as Important as j punting, but it is a great assistance to a team to have a man who can kick the ball over any time he wishes to. At Harvard, great attention is paid to this phase of the game, and every year there are five or six good men who are proficient in this phase of the i game. Most of the other colleges, however, seem content to have only one or two men who are good drop kickers. Place kicking from actual scrim mage does not seem to be much in vogue in recent years. The reason for j this is that drop kicks are made quick- er, the ball having only to pass be- i tween two persons, while in place kicking three men have a share in handling it. Of course, many trick plays can be pulled of. from place kick formations. Dartmouth used to have some good forward passes from this formation; one especially, in 1912, I when "Moose" Enslehorn apparently went back for a place kick and then j a long forward pass would be thrown. Writh the continued specialization in the punting game, much more time will be spent in practicing catching punts. In my opinion. not enough time is now spent at this by most of the big colleges. A man should he able to catch a football as well as an outfielder should be able to .catch i baseball, and if we are to have a con tinual line of kickers like Mahan. Le Gore, etc., then we must have men in the backfield who can catch the ball. (Copyright, Wheeler Syndicate.) O'Dowd Knocks Out Barrlcn. Denver, Col., Oct. 24.

OCTOBER 24. 1916 i jSj foo at goodness) --J-S IT IS ALL TALK Not a Chance to Abolish World Series Jfext Year. Club Owners Are Too Fond of the Precious Duckats. BY FRANK G. MEXKE. New York, Oct. 24. Don,'t get 'em wrong, gentle reader; the baseballing folks aren't going to abolish our lit tle world series. Oh. yes, much con versation has been exuded concerning the possibility of its beint- done, and one of our best little baseball lead ers has come right out and de nounced the present "gouge-the- pub lic" arrangement. But that's all that's going to be done about it, or we miss our guess by sixteen kilon.eters. Did you ever know of any base ball folks doing anything meaning a financial sacrifice for them? Righto! They never have. And "you can't teach old dogs new tricks," y'no. Those magnates have fallen into the habit of extracting every possible ko peck from the jeans of fai.dom and such habits are of the unshakable variety. It is one of the safest bets in this wide, wide world of ours that the blue ribbon event of baseball won't be abolished, nor will It be permitted to lapse for two or three years. Any such attempt would bring about a howl from the magnates that would silence an artillery duel along the Somme and Verdun front. Yes, Ban Johnson has been discoursing along the "discontinue" lines, but Ban oc casionally takes to making threats that never are fulfilled. And this is one of them. Magnates Would Fight. The demand for the elimination of the world series hasn't come from fandom. And it's fandom that pays the freight. AH that the fans want is a reduction in prices for seats for those games. That may be accom plished. But the killing off of the series nix! Ban Is a powerful per son in baseball, but if he attempted to put the world series on the blink he would find himself alone and beat en. The owners of the competing teams in the last five world series events have split somethir.g close to $900,000. It's a cinch that no club owners would sanction any move des tined to null his individual chance to win a pennant and get a bit of that easy money in the years to come. Furthermore, the operating ex penses of the national commission have been met with the money it has received annually from world series clashes. This year its share was $33, 559. If no world series were staged who would have to contribute to the support of .the commission? Righto! the magnates themselves. And wouldn't they relish doing that, after the commission, almost since its in auguration, has been self-supporting, due to the world series income? If the world series were abolished it would be a terrific wallop to the finan cial side of baseball. Undoubtedly, 75 per cent of the club owners would place their holdings on the marVet. with the proviso that "no fair offer will be refused." Prospective buyers would be as scarce as soda water foun tains in a desert. The magnates aren't in the game merely for pleasure and health. They are involved for the pur pose and they don't deny it. Without a world series to top off the year half the clubs operating today would go close to bankruptcy. Interest Increased. Baseball has made giant strides in a financial way in the last thirteen years. Hundreds of thousands Jam their way into the parks now where the count was thousands in the other days. A crowd of 10.000 was regarded as "immense" in the bygone era. Now no one gets in any way excited over crowds of 25,000, 30,000, 35,000 and even 40,000. Just a mere pennant fight, without any post-season battle wouldn't bring out such crowds. A world series stim ulates interest all season long. The folks come now to see the teams that are in the fight; to get a look at the prospective champions and get "a line" for themselves on Just what each team in the rival leagues could do against each other In the world series battles. The fact that the big series follows the regular season keeps inter est in the rare, at fever het until th i- An Investment, be It a product or service, must be founded upon some thins; which Is Indispen sable to a wide fie d of us ers or purchasers at all times and nnder all con ditions.

BRINGING UP FATHER (Copyright. 1918. In ternattonal t -w Service. Pallas. Texas, Oct. 24. An aged, white haired, Kentucky mountaineer strode into polite headquarters last ni.ht and asked to see "Jimmy." "Jimmy." he explained was James Walton, the youthful bandit who con fessed he was one of the three men who held up the Burroughs Adding Machine company's pay truck in De troit, August 4, shot one of the guards and escaped with $30,000. "He's my boy," said the old man. "I've been living in Dallas for a year and didn't know where Jimmy and his brother were. I saw Jimmy's picture in the paper this afternoon and I said: 'Yes, that's my boy.' Thought maybe I could do something for him." Youn? Walton didn't know his fath er was in Dallas when he came here with his wife three weeks ago. The father, who is employed in a cement factory was within 20 minutes ride of the place where his son was cap lured by detectives Saturday night. "I lived in the hills in Kentucky and worked hard for a good many years. said the elder Walton. "Then I got tired of working for 50 cents a day and went to St. Louis.

For the last five or six weeks from twenty five to thirty-five men have been in Randolph for the purpose of leasing land tor drilling operations. It is clainjed that 25,000 acres have al ready been taken in Riley, Potta watomie and Washington counties. Homer Boles, proprietor of the hotel here, says this army of oil people has crowded his place daily and has left him about $500 a week to pay ex penses. Three different oil corpora tions have their representatives in Randolph at this time, A new company has been formed of Randolph men and a charter has been applied for. The officers are: President, Henning Bergsten: vice president, J. J. Wiesendanger, and secretary-treasurer, Wm. Secrest. A board of directors includes the president, vice president and J. F. Copeland, W. H. Secrest, August To buren, L. W. Johnsmeyer and T. F. Newman. J. J. Wiesendanger was chosen field manager. Protect Ivand Owners. The firm is known as the Randolph Oil company, and claims to be for the purpose of leasing land in order to protect landowners from falling into the hands of foreign companies and being bound for five years or more at nominal prices. The value of the company to the land owners, they claim, will be de termined by the way the owners themselves take advantage of the op portunities offered by the home com pany. It is also said that better con tracts, which bring to those having lands to lease many hundreds of dol lars, will be a result of the organiza tion of the Randolph company.
