Affiliation of the members of the American Federa tion of Labor and the four big railroad brotherhoods for effecting the general betterment of labor was urged today before the federation convention here by the brotherhood heads and Presi dent Samuel A. Gompers. Delegates who crowded the hall cheered all the speakers enthusiastically. "We must hang together or we will hang sepa rately." W. G. Lee, spokesman for the brothehoods and head of the railway trainmen, declared. "It is a great comfort to know, President Gompers said, "that the time is not far distant when the great brotherhoods will be a part of the American Federation of Labor." Lee explained that the laws of the brotherhoods now prevent an official affiliation with the federation until after their convention is held, but he insisted that between now and that time the organization? could co-operate with the same purpose as if they were officially affiliated. He also made it plain that the brotherhoods were not bringing their eight-hour day troubles to the federation for support. Will I'ight for Eight-Hour I .aw. "I am about anarchist enough, how ever," he said, "to say that we are going to work for the eight-hour day for all classes. If we can't get it peaceably, we will fight for it." Lee said that some sort of affilia tion should be effected to fight any proposed arbitration legislation which might be unfair to labor. President Wilson plans such legislation, he said, und it should be carefully watched. He declared that the congress had no right to pass any law compelling a man to work, provided he was not in yrtson. if he did not want to, and he did not think It would do so. Prolonged cheering followed praise of President Wilson by Mr. Lee. "It took more courage for him to write across the front pages of the newspapers of this country that he was for an S-hour working day than it would have taken for him to have written that this country was at war with Mexico." he said. our principal object now is to help the president and the men in both branches of congress to make good their promises to us. I believe they will do it." Mr. Lee declarer! failure of the brotherhoods and the federation to af filiation hefore now has not been wholly the fault of either side. Near Affiliation Today. "We are nearer affiliation today than we ever have been before," he said. "We shall go the limit to obtain bet ter conditions, particularly for the men on the railroads that the com pany will not permit to organize, we will not strike nor go out to help them, but we will use our best efforts to obtain better conditions for them." Mr. Lee paid his respects to the "Wall street crowd," and declared that now an election had been without the assistance of New York. Indiana or Illinois, labor should not fail to re tain its power thus gained. Mr. Lee also reviewed the conferences which led to the enactment of the Adamson 8-hour law last September and charg ed the railroad heads with playing un fairly with the president at that time. The brotherhoods, he declared, had no desire that the Adamson bill be enact i, k, 'L 7. 1.1 beenme a law. they were trying to live up to it. Immediately after the close of Gom pers speech the brotherhood heads left the hall. COLD WAVE FAILED The Temperature Mas Seven Degrees Above Normal This Morning.

Policemen on Cross-Examina- tion Help Defense. EXHIBIT PIECE OF SKULL Witness Claims Curtains of Room Were Drawn. Divorcee in Overalls and lush ing Trip Enter Case. St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 21. Police of ficers continued to testify in the crim inal court here today in the state's case against Prosecutor Oscar D. Mc Daniel who is on trial on the charge of having murdered his wife, Mrs. Harriet Moss McDaniel. Little testi mony not previously adduced, was pre sented during the morning session and defense attorneys expressed them selves as being jubilant over the lack of evidence so far produced against the accused man. Testimony given by John Frank, motorcycle policeman, attacking Mc Daniel's version of the crime, was largely broken down by the cross examination of Judge C. F. Strop, chief defense counsel. Continuing his questioning, Judge Strop brought out other testimony considered favorable for the defense. "Did not you say Oscar McDaniel deplored the fact that his wife's as sailant had not taken his (McDaniel's) life?" Judge Strop asked. "Yes, sir." "Did not you testify at the coroner's inquiry McDaniel practically col lapsed Lawyer Was Grief-Stricken. "Yes, sir, he was grief -stricken." Frank declared. The large crowds that previously have attended sessions of the trial were missing today. When court con vened many seats were vacant. They filled only slowly. James A. Clouser, former chief of police and who was the last witness yesterday, continued his testimony to day. He was cross-examined by Judge C. F. Strop, chief defense coun sel. "Did the thought ever enter your mind that McDaniel was trying to get rid of evidence?" he was asked. "No," the former chief answered. Mr. Clouser was being questioned concerning permission he had given for servants In the McDaniel home to (Continued on Page Two.) DEUTSGHLAND OFF German Under-Sea Freighter Leaves for Bremen. Departure Follows Disastrous Attempt Last Week. New London, Conn., Nov. 21. The German undersea freighter Deutsch land made her second start for her home port of Bremen at 2:35 this afternoon, escorted by two tugs which 'were to accompany her to the three miie limit at the end of the sound. To the accompaniment of cheers from the crew of her "mo'her ship" Willehad, the Deutschland slowly swung out into the harbcr shortly after 2:30. The great steel net, which guarded her stern had been swung aside and the sea-green monster of the deep slipped out of her berth under her own power. Tujcs Convoy to Sea. At 2:15 the tugs F. A. Beckwith and Alert reported at the submersible's pier to escort her out to the three mils Imit. It was reported along me water ifront at that time that the Deutsch- land would sail within a half hour. Captain Koenig and all members of the submarine's crew were aboard when the two tugs came churning up to the dock where the Deutschland was tied up alongside the liner Wille had. It was understood that all repairs made necessary by the collision with the tug T. A. Scott Jr., in which five men perished, had been made and with the last libel lifted, there was nothing to prevent the giant submers ible again starting on her homeward dash. No Secrecy About Departure. There was no secrecy Incident to the Deutschland's departure. Early in the day rumors were flying that the submersible might sail at any time. At 2:10 two tugs reported at the pier ready to escort her to sea and crowds were then soon lining the shore. At 2:40 the Deutschland passed Fort Trumbull and was headed for the sound. The submersible will pass the Race rocks, where she collided with the tug T. A. Scott, jr., last Monday, about 4:30 this afternoon, judging from the speed she was making as she cleared the harbor. Five men perished when the tug sank in this accident, and it is assumed Captain Koenig decided not to attempt to pass thru these danger ous waters again at night. The submersible will be able to clear the race well before dark. BANKERS AT JUNCTION Group Four Holds Convention With 250 in Attendance. Junction City, Kan., Xov. 21. C. W.

Two hundred and fifty bank ers are attending. Brotherhood Chiefs Retract Threat of Week Ago. SANTA FE CASE UP FIRST Await Decision of Kansas City Court as Criterion. Question of Wrages Minimized Now to Come Up Later. Washington, Nov. 21. A general railroad strike January 1 may not fol low as the result of the present situa tion, growing out of the Adamson law dispute. This interpretation was placed to day on remarks of Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers that the question of such a strike "will be answered later." The ele ment of doubt regarding his remarks arises from the fact that last week in New York, brotherhood chiefs flat- footedly said there would be a strike if they did not get a real eight-hour day. Before A. F. of Ii. In Baltimore. Now it is believed the br herhoods will be content to await a test of con stitutionality of the Adamson eight hour measure. The brotherhood's, however, are shrouding their move ments in an even deeper secrecy than that which marked their program when they threatened strike last sum mer. Today the brotherhood chiefs are in Baltimore to speak before the Ameri can Federation of Labor convention -a move that portends co-operation be tween them and the railway depart ment of the federation to force an eight-hour day in all branches of rail road service. At the same time the department of justice and the brotherhoods legal department are ready for the opening of the Adamson tests Thursday when the' Union Pacific and Santa Fe start' their suits at Kansas City. The course taken by the court in these cases will be vital and upon itu action will prob ably rest the final decision on the brotherhoods as to whether there shall be a strike. Would Eliminate State Control. The Newlands committee investiga tion of the general subjects of rela tions between railroads and the public will continue with the railroads put ting forth proposals for alleviation of what they regard as an irksome con dition. They will fight particularly for elimination of control by state railroad commissions. The question of wages has been minimized to date but when brother hood leaders return they probably will ask a hearing and precipitate sharp discussion on that point. THE LAST WORD Women Always Have It, So Here Is Final Version. Snffragist Says Hughes Didn't Back Up His Promise. Albany, Nov. 21. In her annual ad dress delivered today to the forty eighth annual convention of the New York State Woman Suffrage party, Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, the chairman, urged all suffragists to work like professionals and not like amateurs for the adoption of the suf frage amendment in 1917. Referring to the recent presidential campaign Mrs. Whitehouse said: "The wise and experienced political leaders of both parties played for the support of the women voters. Afr. Hughes' statement on suffrage in his speech of acceptance and his declara tion on the following day promised real support for our cause, which his subsequent silence did not bear out. Cites Montana as Illustration. "Both political parties blamed the women for not succeeding where they, themselves, had failed. There could never have been so plain an evidence of the folly and absurdity of women working for parties which as yet deny them political freedom." Mrs. Whitehouse cited the election to congress of Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana, as an example that wom en will "stand together." "When she was nominated,' Mrs. Whitehouse said, "Montana was a Democratic state. Montana remained a Democratic state and gave President Wilson a majority of 27,000 but it elected the Republican Jeanette Ran kin. She was the only Republican in the state who was elected. Women must have stood together for her." QUIT STUDIESAT YALE TO WORK IN CANADA LOG CAMP Chicago, Xov. 21.

Renew Claim That He Was Adopted From Orphanage. Kansas City. Nov. 21. Further re hearsal of testimony covering the last six years was expected today at the resumption in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., of the pult brought' by Benjamin Dorrance, representing the legal heirs, contesting the decision of a special commissioner in St. Louis last April, in awarding the estate of Charles Dorrance, a wealthy resident of Chariton county, Missouri, to Charles Francis Dorrance. The es state is valued at nearly half a million dollars. Attorneys for Benjamin Dorrance dispute the parentage of Charles Fran cis Dorrance, who is claimed to be a son of John Dorrance, to whom the estate was left by Charles Doprance, the head of the family, on his death. The plaintiffs alleged the present holder of the estate was adopted from an orphanage institution in St. Louis by John Dorrance and his wife. Testimony of a Catholic sister, in charge of the hospital at St. Louis where Mrs. Dorrance claims the pres ent holder of the estate was born, was expected today. This testimony was ruled out by the special commissioner when the case was heard before him. OPEN FIGHT HERE Kansas To Be First Battle ground of Adamson Law. C. B. Q. and Kansas City Ter minal File Suit Today. Kansas will be the first battle ground of the nation-wide industrial war, resulting from the enactment of the Adamson law. Mort Albaugh, clerk of the United States district court in Topeka, announced today that first application for injunctions against the Adamson law brought by railroads thruout the United States would be heard in the United States district court at Kansas City, Kan., Thursday morning. Two more appli cations were filed in his office today by the C. B. Q. railroad and the Kansas City Terminal, making a total of five applications filed in a week. Fred Robertson, United States dis trict attorney, stated over the long distance telephone today that applica tions of the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, C. B. Q. and Kansas City South ern would be heard Thursday morn ing. He understands that the gov ernment will rush two attorneys to Kansas City from Washington, who will aid in the fight of capital vs. la bor. These men are G. Carroll Todd and D. Marvin Underwood. The applications are for tempo rary injunctions aeainst the law." said Mr. Robertson. "Whether the attor neys win decide to present the case for final submission, rests with the railroad attorneys." In short, the railroads declare the Adamson act unconstitutional. Wheth er the hearing of the Kansas City Ter minal will come up Thursday is not known. Mr. Robertson had not been officially informed of the filing of its application today. Football Champs' Toffs Burn. Tulsa, Okla., Nov. 21.

Two Millions in Profits Now Going to Waste. That Kansas should be the Queen Bee state of the Union in the honey Industry is the decision of the four teenth annual convention of the Kan sas State Beekeepers asociation, now in session in the. Chamber of Com merce rooms.

Dean of the Kan sas State Agricultural college at Man hattan. In addition, vegetable, fruit and alfalfa growers are losing hun dreds of thousands of dollars each year In not getting the maximum re turn of crops, which the installation of a few colonies of bees would save. More than fifty of the biggest bee men of the state are discussing the possibilities' of the growth of their business in Kansas. In the discussion, following committee reports last night. It was shown that 190,000 colonies of bees, representing an investment of nearly $1,000,4)00, make nearly three quarters of a million dollar worth of honey annually in Kansas.

I GRIME OF INDUSTRIAL UNREST Unprecedented Conditions De mand Efficiency Xow. Permit Exporters to Organize Without Trust Fear. Washington. Nov. 21. A call to American business to meet unprece dented trade conditions after the war, is to be the keynote of President Wil son's message to congress Tuesday, December 5. The president is com pleting the message today and expects soon to have it in the hands of the printer. The president believes the country's industries can do a maximum amount of work only when there is a minimum of industrial unrest. His message is expected to emphasize this in an ap peal to employer and employe for more co-operation, more confidence of each in the other and less tendency to class feeling. In thia connection, the president had formulated plans for rendering prac tically impossible strikes of all kinds. He will urge completion of a program similar to that proposed in his last message to handle such situations as the recent threatened strike of the railroad brotherhoods. I Believing the railroad problem as Important a domestic issue as con j fronts the country, the president will j urge congress to give the most careful j consideration to possible legislation which will aid the transportation sys tems to expand and to improve, to meet the additional stress under which they will be placed at the close of the war. Abroad also the foundations must be laid for the coming trade upheaval, the president believes. He will urge congress to act immediately upon a measure along the lines of the Webb bill which would have permitted American exporters to organize with out fear of anti-trust law action. O tler Recommendations, -In addition to these the -president's message will urge action upon differ ent measures recommended in his message of a year ago and which are still on the list of the administration's "unfinished business." They are ex pected to include: Conservation laws, legislation for rendering fuller political justice to the people of Porto Rico, a corrupt prac tices act, federal aid and stimulation to industrial and vocational education like that given in the field of agricul tural industry and possibly laws giv ing federal agents more effective weapons to use in dealing with con spirators aeainst the neutra.litv of the government, The president also probablv will urge continuation of "preparedness for peace" by continuance of a progres sive program of national defense in cluding material additions to the navy. In his recent pleas for the union of nations to prevent future wars, the president has pointed out that if America is to play her part in enforc- ing tnis peace, sne must nave tne ne cessary means.

Her nose was shiny. ft She was hustled into a waiting auto mobile at the army aviation field, whisked away to the home of Maj. tt'illiam Hartmann, of the army sig nal corps and the travel dust washed fcff her rosy ce. Then, this daring tnald of the air, who had out-Carl-itrommed Victor Carlstrom in her flight from Chicago to New York, fclnrldiv asked of Mrs. Hartmann: i, "May I borrow some of your face powder?'' Having powdered' her nose she talked to a reporter of her flight. Sit ting in an automobile and rosy-cheek-d fl-om contact with the frigid air 'of he upper regions, swathed in sheep Skin and oiled garments, she graph ically described her thrilling voyage. "I'm awfully well pleased that I've been able to beat the American rec ord." Miss Law began. "But I could have done better.

Speaking of her flight from Bing Jiamton to Governor's Island, Miss Law feaid it was about as risky an under taking as she had ever faced. "It was so foggy." she declared, "it was almost impossible for me to see where I was going. There were times when 1 skimmed over the New York hills only one hundred feet up.

London, Nov. 21. Notwithstanding protests from America., Holland and the Vatican, Germany is still deport ing Belgian wor'.:men. Moreover she is now registering, presumably for fu ture aeponauon an citizens of Swit zerland and the Duchy of Luxem burg who are residing in Belgium. A statement from the London of fice of the Belgian departr ent of jus tice made these assertions today: "The deportations of Belgian sub jects continue without respite the statement asserted. "The 'ourjcil of aldermen of Brussels were arrested because they refused to communicate lists of unemployed to the German authorities. Deportations are proceed ing in the province of Hainault and in Wells and Flanders. Subjects of the Duchy of Luxemburg and also of Switzerland residing in Belgium are compelled to register. A group of Luxeniburgers have already been de ported." PLENTY FOR BEES (Continued From Page One.) by A. V. Small of St. Joseph, and M. C. Berry of Hayneville, Ala. Were it not for the bee the profits of the truck gardens, fruit orchards and alfalfa and clover fields would vanish like magic. The bee as an agent of pollination is an indispensable citizen of Kansas. Greater co-operation among the beemen of the state was urged this morning by Geo. W. Williams, Red key, Ind. The plan to organize an association somewhat similar to those of California fruit growers, urged in the speech, secured the favorable at tention of the me-iting. As a result of the discussion on "Securing State Aid for Foul Brood Inspection," a re quest for such inspection will be de manded of the legislature next year. Thousands of dollars are lost to the bee raisers of Kansas owing to the lack of inspection and the growth of disease, it was asserted. It is the small beekeeper who has no commercial ambitions regarding his stand that is at fault in this respect. Other Profits. The consumption of honev is re sponsible for only a share of the apiary owner's profits, it was shown during the discussions ox this morn ing and last evening. Milady's desire for a creamy complexion, which can be secured only by face creams of which honey is an ingredient, fills the pockets of Kansas bee men. Also the substitution of honey for sugar by the wholesale bakeries is furnishing an increasing market. The annual banquet will be heid this noon at the Chamber of Com merce followed by a review of inspec tion work in Kansas apiaries by Prof. Geor A. Dean of Manhattan and Prof. S. J. Hunter of Kansas univer sity. At the evening meeting the problem of marketing the crop will be dis cussed by J. P. Brumfield of Galena, Kan., and there will be a report of the 1916 crop. Election of officers will follow and the legislative commit tee to urge state inspection will be appointed. COLD WAVE FAILED (Continued From Page t)ne.) night, rising temperature Wednesday."

Thatcher went to the basement, where the lockers were kept, pretended to lose half a dollar under the lockers and got Casmar to stoop over to look for it and whacked the .watchman on the head with a blackjack. Blackjack Broke. "Unfortunately for the robber, the blackjack was not of a good quality and broke, the lead weight falling out on the floor and -m-uking it useless. And so he had no weapon with which to dispose of the only man left be. tween him and the $130,000 that was in the still open vault. Casmar was not knocked unconscious by the first blow and started after Thatcher and so he ran thru the front door and escaped. "When, investigation was made to find out why so many persons had recommended him so highly, it was found that he had rented for a week a room at each address given and had himself sent in the replies to the bank's intjpiries about the recom mendations." When in this city, it was reported that the young Thatcher lived at 1253 North Fifteenth street. Less than a week later, on July 25, he procured employment in the Federal Trust com pany in Boston, but remained there only two weeks. On August 16 he got the position as messenger in the Na tional Shawm ut bank under the name of Edward Thereck, again using the same written recommendation scheme and replying to the inquiries made by the bank regarding his personal char acter.

It was July 19 of this year the day of the attempted robbery at the Tenth National bank here when the Pin kertons again heard of the young man, whom they had been unable to find trace of in the meantime. Thatcher worked for a time as mes senger at the office of a broker in this city and was the means of having an innocent man suspected of wrongdo ing and traced about the country for nearly a month, according to Coogan, W. Brown Mahoney, local detec tives. Thatcher was given some bonds to deliver by his firm. Later a young woman called at another broker's of fice in South Broad street and offered bonds that had been entrusted to Thatcher for delivery for sale. She was quizzed closely and said that she was acting for a salesman employed by a local firm. Detectives were immediately put on the case and the salesman watched, but it later developed that he knew nothing of the bonds or the woman. She was finally trailed to New York, where she met Thatcher after the at tempted robbery at the Tenth Na tional bank.

Sweet admitted having been hunting in a pasture near the scene of the killing and admitted he saw th b young woman as she started home. He denied that he was in any manner im plicated in the assault and murder. S. M. Brewster, attorney general, assisted in the prosecution of Sweet. Owing to, intense feeling in Grant county, a change of venue was grant ed and Sweet was tried in Syracuse, Hamilton county. PROSECUTION IN (Continued from Page One. clean the room in which the crime had been committed. Clouser was followed by John Frank, motorcycle officer, who. was at the McDaniel home the night of the murder. One point,, considered dam aging to the defense was Frank's dec laration that the shades in the death room were drawn. This is at variance with a defense version that the blinds were up and that E. B. Gard. a neigh bor saw a woman in the room an hour after the state claims the murder was committed. Refute Gard's Story. Frank's testimony tended further to refute Gard's story by the declara tion that Gard told the officer over the telephone, about 1 o'clock the morning of July 15, that he had just returned home. This was about for' ty-five minutes after the police had heen nulled hv McDaniel. Gard is said to be one of the chief witnesses of Judge Strop questioned Frar.k fully in an effort to brine out that Frank had been mistaken on other testimony anH mlffht i nn this. a small niece of the skull of the murdered woman was exhibited by Rart tw T.oekwood. special prosecutor, Tvhon Samuel Townsend was placed on the stand. He was a city detective at the time of the murder but now is em ployed by a private agency. He vis ited the McDaniel home shortly after I picked up the piece from the floor near Mrs. McDaniel's bed.' the witness declared. He gave testimony corroborating previous witnesses that no marks were found on the Dasemeni window sill thru which the defense maintains the murderer entered- the hmi A screen said to have been from the window was produced. Dust on Window SHI. The window was very dusty,' Townsend said. "The dust was not riistnrhed The state, thru Townsend, sought in develon facts unfavorable to Mc Daniel concerning the revolver duel in which the prosecuting attorney has spoke of being engaged before having enterad the house and found his wife had been attacked. The windshield from McDaniel's motor car. its glass broken by a bullet hole, was intro duced. Judge Strop attacked Town send's motives in testifying against McDaniel and his methods of obtain ing evidence. "You tried to make McDaniel's ne gro washwoman say he and his wife were unhappy?" he was asked. "No, sir, I tried to find out if she knew such was the case." "Did she?" "No," he answered. The washwoman was asked by an other detective, Townsend said, if she had heard Mrs. McDaniel say her husband had beaten her. The answer was no, Townsend said. Other state's detectives expected to be witnesses were attacked thru the cross-examination. Laughter in the court room was admonished by Judge Ryan. Divorced Woman Kamed. The state yesterday barely more than opened the evidence which its attor npvs sav will be produced against the accused man. With a subpoena list of more than one hundred, less than a dozen witnesses thus far have been placed on the stand and indications today were that at least a week might elapse before the prosecution has completed its case. Chief interest today developed around the admissibility of certaii evidence the prosecution declares it hopes to produce to show what rela tions existed between the accused man and his wife before she was clubbed to death in her bedroom the night of July 14. This testimony was said to be the story of Miss Aileen Moss, sis ter of the slain woman. Defense at torneys declared it would r.ot be com petent and probably would be re jected. The case, as developed late yester day, brought into the trial for he first time the name of Mrs. Dagmar Krucker, divorced wife of a St. Joseph business man and friend of Mrs. Mc Daniel. Testimony was adduced showing that she had been present, with her husband, at a fishing club near here, at which were Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel about a week before the murder. She was said to have worn overalls. Guard Witnesses' Stories. State's attorneys thus far have guarded jealously lists showing the order in which the various witnesses will be called. The defense, it is known, has had little indication of the line of testimnoy to be given by those whom the state will place, on the stand, and for this reason, it was said, the prosecution desired to keep silent con cerning its witnesses until they actual ly had been called. Most of yesterday was devoted to the questioning of police officers who worked on the crime and as several have not yet been on the stand, it was supposed such testimony would contin ue today.

Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. That the oil supply of the United States, so tar from being in danger of exhaustion in the next 20 or 30 years, is sufficient for the next 300 years, and that consumption of the oil is to decrease rather than increase, is a statement made in publicity matter sent out by the Southern Pacific com pany recently. "A few years ago it was the general cry that the supply of oil in the United States would give out in a few years, and now the cry in California is that the oil will soon be exhausted," says the company. "Since these dire prophecies, new oil lields have been opened in Alaska and other parts of the United States that will supply the country for the next three or four hundred years. "At the same time development of waterpower and generation of electric current are cutting down the con sumption of coal and oil and whole railroad systems are going under hy dro electric Dower. "With construction of hard surface highways less crude road oil will be used. When crude oil goes above a certain price it will not be used for fuel, and the demand will be checked from that source. "It is not so many years ago that gasoline was a drug on the market, and it went to waste. With constant development of hydro-electric energy (that will never cease in its supply) less oil products will be burned. "The cry that the oil supply will play out in twenty or thirty years is being used to tie up the remaining un developed oil fields in the west in the hands of conservationists thru the fed eral courts. "In spite of federal prosecutions and shutting down many prospectors and operators, the output of the California oil wells has increased from 250,000 barrels a day in January, 193 5, to 260,000 barrels a day in September, 1916. "Secretary Lane shows in Senate Document 310 that according to the United States geological survey the percentage of exhaustion in all oil wells is twenty-six and the estimate of the oil still in the ground of the known fields in California is Si, 345 mil lion barrels, or at present rate of pro duction good for 300 years. "The best engineering authorities, instead of an oil famine, predict that owing to the rapid development of electric energy from world's water powers, oil and gas fuel products are bound to be cheaper, rather than dearer. "Secretary Daniels, at the hearing before the senate in February, 1916, showed that oil consumption by the navy increased from 137,000 barrels in 1911 to 600,000 barrels in 1916. Estimated consumption with en larged navy by adding nine battleships and seventeen destroyers, was put at 1,760,000 barrels, and in time of war at 5,000,000 barrels. "The government already has un disputed title to Naval Reserve No. i in California, which at the same hear ing was shown by officials of the United States geological survey to hold 100,000,000 barrels, a supply adequate for fifty years for the national navy."

KeUcy Asks Divorce and Alimony From Husband. Knocking the "L," out of Kelley matrimonial ventures in Topeko seems to be the favorite indoor sport of the female side of the House of Kelleys these days. Today, it is Grace Kelley, who asks of her husband, Charles W. Kelley, an office employe of the Santa Fe at $100 a month, separate mainte nance and division of property. A mother-in-law is one of the thorns in Mrs. Kelley's seven-year rratrimon ial adventure, she says. Always her home was occupied by Kelley's moth er, says Mrs. Kelley in her petition, and this "impaired plaintiff's use and enjoyment of a home." Then, too, she claims, Kelley cursed and abused her and made things so unpleasant that she has maintained her residence at the home of her parents, at 1115 Throop street. The Kelleys lived at 1311 Van Buren street and owned furniture there valu ed at $500. Also Kelley owns prop erty at 475 Van Buren street, Mrs. Kelley declares, and she asks for an equitable division of same. Since the trouble started Mrs. Kelley has been working in a department store. They were married in Dallas, Tex., in Au gust, 1909. SAME OLD PETITION Americans With Property In Mexico Appeal to President Wilson. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 21.

Goyernment Jfot Ayerse to Financial Assistance. Propose Monster Loan to Great Britain Without Security. Washington, Nov. 21. It was) ad mitted at the White House that the purpose of the secret conference ob tained by H. P. Davison, of J. P. Mor gan Co., with President Wilson last baturday, concerned another huge loan to England and her allies. Mr. Davison, it is said, desired to learn if this government; would ap prove such a loan without security. He is understood to have repeated the assertion he made In Chicago two weeks ago that unless the allies were ven sufficient money to continue the war successfully the financial equili brium of the world would not be maintained. President Wilson has made no state ment concerning the conference, but individuals who have daily access to the White House, say he will not op pose the plan. State and treasury de partment officials are already studying the situation. Mr. Davison is understood to have told President Wilson that his recent investigations in Europe convinced mm it was not only necessary but safe to give the allies all the additional money they need without even a scrap of paper as security. CANADIANS CHARGE! Wrest 3,500 Yard Trench by Heroic Dash Against Teutons. i v London, Nov. 21. Successful advance on a front of 3,500 yards was an nounced in a Canadian official state ment today. "On Saturday morning," the report asserted, "our guns started a barrage fire against the trenches opposite the Canadian positions. Our troops leaped from the parapet. The German guns began a counter barrage fire, which was comparatively weak. Our forces had fewer casualties than could be expected. "We advanced on a front of 3,500 yards to a depth of from 200 to a thousand yards. Our whole objective was quickly consolidated and held ex cept for a short stretch near Pys wood, where a knoll proved to be a machine gun nest. Our troops fell back and established themselves be hind the crest. Even Went 500 Yards Beyond. "There the Germans occupied a trench. Our artillery cut them off. "We exceeded our objective by 500 yards, capturing a section of the grand court trench, but we withdrew because it was in too dangerous a salient. "Our losses thruout were compara tively light. We took seventeen offi cers and 452 other unwounded pris oners and 150 wounded men." MERCIER STAYS HOME Belgian Primate Will Not Attend Con History at Rome. Rome, Nov. 21.

McCarthy, who declared he gave Ben nett $100 as part of $2,500 which, he says, Bennett agreed to accept to in fluence a juror. Bennett declares the charge a "frame up."

Bo little has ever come of govern mental probes of one sort or another. j pn large as well as small matters, that riot so many people are likely to be sanguine that much will result from the big industrial investigation which has been begun by the joint congres atonal committee on interstate com- merce. It's a long road without a turn, tho, and this investigation may succeed in laying its fingers on some bf the sore spots in the industrial and economic world, in the relations and differences between capital and labor. There appear to be many such sore spots in this country today, and they present some of the more serious f problems confronting the body politic. It is doubtful if they can be cured by ;some legislative panacea, but some really' wise legislation along the lines needed ought to help some. And .everybody, skeptical tho many may be, .Is probably hoping-that the congres sional investigation will point the way to it. According to the extremists in that direction. President Wilson's re-elec--tion "was due primarily to the fight ing pacifist sentiment" In the United (States. In other words, everybody seems to be explaining what happenea bn November 7 to his own fancy ana :purposes. Now for a retort courteous that will "have a kick and a punch in It. The American Union Against Militarism characterizes a certain distinguished citizen as "the Bernhardt of Oyster sUay." Inasmuch as over-eating is the cause of much sickness, the possibili ties are that the present high cost of .jiving in this country will be a vigor ous agent in the promotion of the 'health of the general public. Think of the suspense that those most Interested and the neople of the country as a whole would have been in had the determination of the presi dential election hinged on the result "of the vote in Minnesota. Turkey day will probably be con spicuous this year for the absence ol the birds from which it tnVes its name from many of the family tables that they have regularly adorned in times past. Fractically all varieties of the goose bone weather prophets seem to have agreed that an exceedingly mild win- ter is in store for the country gener ally. And the gas consumers in these parts are certainly hoping so. But no kind of consumers ever seem to have much luck. Rumania waited long enough be tfiure getting into the war to be thor- oly prepared for the plunge, it would seem. But one of the military experts :atates that her failure to make much of a showing has been due to a lack of artillery and to inferior leadership 'that is utterly without strategic and tactical theories. However, it wasn't possible, of course, for Rumania to 'brush up on the latter during the two i years the war progressed before she filtered it. Years of training are nec- 'dssary to develop adequate military .leadership. i -T-. l'UOGRKSSIVK RI S8IA. Germany's strangle-hold on Russia's 'commerce will be broken only by Al- Med victory, writes I.eo Posvolsky in The New Republic. He predicts great economic expansion for Russia after tho War. "Progressive Russia is put ting every ounce of its ..trength into ;the struggle, for upon its outcome de pends the future history of Russia for a long time to come. But besides the throwing off of the German economic yoke, Russia will be confronted by '.problems of a constructive character. Vo matter how rapidly she develops her productive forces, for the growth of which she will need foreign capi tal, she will still, for some time to come, remain a larse buyer in the world's market of manufactured goods a well as a large exporter perhaps even larger than before the war of raw materials. One of the many fac tors that made Germany's strangle hold upon Russian industry and com merce possible was Bussia's lack of a convenient and Ice-free port. Russia's commerce necessarily had t- so thru the German ports, and Incidentally be come responsible, to a large extent, for the phenomenally rapid and prof itable growth of the German merchant marine. As a result of this war, Rus sia must have an ice-free port. The two years of the war have matured Russia politically as well as econom ically, and an unmistakable sign of this maturity is the Russian people's realization of the part played by the bureaucracy and its German friends in hampering- Russia's progress. Rus sia has entered upon a period of growth and development, and any part of her national organism that fails to grow together with the whole is doomed by the inexorable law of prog ress to speedy elimination." BETTER RURAL TEACHERS. Short school terms that are made even shorter by a poor attendance, which is often tolerated and encour aged by unwise parents, are not the only handicap of the rural school chil dren, according to the federal bureau of education, which is now vigorously leading the way towards the better ment of the rural school conditions thruout the country, so that the boys and girls in the rural sections will have educational advantages that com pare more favorably with those of the city children. In many Instances the rural teachers fall far short of reach ing the mark they should. Indeed, J. L. McBrien, the school extension agent of the federal bureau of education. In a bulletin that the latter has issued pn this important subject, declares that better qualified teachers are a sore need of the rural schools. At least one-third of the rural teachers of the country at large, he points out, have no professional train ing. The average scholarship in this class of untrained teachers is little more than an eighth-grade education. There are 212,000 one-teacher rural schools in the United States. It is conservative, therefore, to say that there are 70,000 rural teachers in this country with only an elementary train ing and no professional training. There is one state in the Union that has over 4,000 teachers, with only a seventh-grade education and no profes sional training, in charge of its rural schools this year. There are several states that count their rural teachers in this class by the hundreds. Another third of the rural teachers of the United States have only a lim ited amount of professional training and on an average their scholarship is not ab,ove the tenth grade, that Is, a two-year high school education be yond the eighth grade. There are at least 70,000 teachers in this class. A majority of the remaining one- third of the rural teachers of the country have on the average only a four-year high school education which includes from one to two years' at tendance at a state normal school of the professional work given In the Ju nior and senior years in teacher-train- ng high schools, or several summer terms at summer schools for teachers. These are the conditions that face us in the qualifications of our rural teachers. The problem is how to im prove these conditions. And the fed eral bureau of education is undertak ing an important project in its an nounced purpose to issue a series of bulletins in an effort to show the country how to solve' this big problem in American education. Tha fact that we have over 160,000 rural school teachers without adequate preparation for their work is enough to arouse the public mind on this question to such a degree that within the next decade we shall nave a suf ficient number of teachers with an adequate training for every rural school in the United States. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. War finance and war inflation continue to be the important factor in the security markets," writes Henry Clews, the New York banker, in his current weekly financial review. Great Britain, France and Russia are each standing at the door of our vaults asking for funds to help carry on the war. Great Britain has just complet ed a $300,000,000 collateral loan, and another big loan probably on a credit basis is not many months distant. France recently negotiated a $50,000, 000 credit in this market, and both these nations are said to be consider ing the early feasibility of selling ex chequer and treasury bills, which American bankers would undoubtedly be willing to handle. The Russian go-ernment will also issue next week about $26,000,000 of Its new $50,000,- 000 loan. .These operations are not loans in the ordinary sense of tho term, and are small operations com pared with the huge war bills of these nations, being chiefly utilized to pay for the immense quantities of muni tions ordered in this country. The lat est British transaction is another col lateral loan which will probably tie up large blocks of foreign-owned American securities for a considerable period, thus lessening foreign liquida tion. The next British loan promises to be a strictly credit operation. These foreign demands for loans bid fair to continue, since there is no sign of an early termination of the war, and both sides are displaying more and more resolution and preparing fof an even more desperate conflict with the open ing of spring. War contracts, for which this country is the chief out side supply, must continue; and pay- ment will have to be made in bor rowed money. If we want the con tracts and we do we will be obliged to accept loans; and the effect of these continued demands upon oir capital market must be taken into serious consideration when forecasting our financial future. Home requirements for capital, it should be notedare in creasing prodigiously; our industrial plants and railroads needing large sums for imperative improvements and ex pansion. A great deal of new capital is already being furnished out of cur rent large profits, although in many instances these cannot be depended upon for meeting such demands, es pecially in case of railroads and other corporations which are not profiting abnormally from the war. are vast amounts of capital seeking invest ment, but the combined requirements of domestic and foreign origin are far beyond all precedent and must soon tend to reduce our supply. Inevit ably capital will ask and obtain bet ter terms, and interest rates must con sequently rise in due course of time. Such a movement will naturally be slow and its workings cannot be al ways discernible, but the trend in that direction is unmistakable and unavoid able. One result of these conditions is the weaker undertone of foreign bonds owing also to continued enor mous offerings." The man who insists he's a humorist usually isn't one. It does not take a long time for most people to collect their thoughts. Another genius is the man who can sell things which are not worth buy ing. Some people have an idea they should be commended merely because they ve never been in jail. Most of the people who worry over the "extravagance" incident to the possession of automobiles don't own any. Woman is rarely a mechanical gen ius, says the Parsons Sun, but she can accomplish many difficult stunts with a hairpin. The Lawrence Journal-World thinks that tho judges in a baby show should also be present when the hero medals are passed around. The man who complains of the high price of groceries, says Herbert Hick man in the Florence Bulletin, is usual ly the last to pay his grocery bill. There is no substitute for truth, in sists the Pratt Union, and an honest man must be guilty of it before he can make proof and clear his title. For our part, says the Day Dreamer of the Leavenworth Post, we think it is all right for a lady's shoes to match the outside of her purse if they also match the inside. A man has plenty of friends while he is getting into debt up to his ears, points out the Marquette Tribune, but he has a mighty lonesome time wading out to the snore again. Related by the Elk County Citizen: "Carl," said the teacher, "can you tell me what an Inebriate is?" "Yea, ma'am," replied Carl. "It is an ani mal that does not have a backbone." The campaign is over, says the Be loit Gazette, but we should like to have some Democrat explain without looking in the dictionary Just what President Wilson meant when he spoke of the "renaissance of patriotic responsibility." It has been demonstrated, observes the Osage City Public Opinion, that a president can be elected in this coun try without the east. It also creates the impression that some day a man from the west might be elected president, a little matter that has always been very doubtful in the past. A junk man went to the home of a certain Osawatomle family the other day, tells the Osawatomle Graphic. He asked the man of the house who answered his rap at the door, if he had any old rags to sell. The man replied that he didn't know as his wife had been away for a month. To which the junk man replied: "Well, I'll take all the old bottles you got." Observations by Oley Weaver in the Sedgwick Pantagraph: Worry is a good friend of the undertaker. The fast man makes the poorest speed. Don't judge a man's bravery in the daytime. Speak ing of shade trees, most family trees are more or less shady. It is wonder anyone remains sick when there are so many sure cures adver tised. Telegrams are not such important things. Many men live without ever receiving one Be hold the difference! For consolation the widow has her weeds; the widower hia weed. GLOBE S!SIEIT From the Atchison Globe. A scar always looks mysterious. The lease on lire is a mere scrap of paper. It is a fine thing to talk religion if you also live religion. When a man needs an excuse, he Is apt to need it quickly, and try an old one. To a natural loafer, anyone who wants him to do a good day's work is a tyrant. It is surprising how many ignorant people get along as well as clever peo ple do. Most people are sufficiently familiar with Shakespeare to misquote mm oc casionally. A boy may overcome the handicap of naturally curly hair, but it will cause him many painful moments. It is a fine thing to have confidence in human nature, and you shouldn't risk it by going on another man's note. When one musician gets to describ ing the work of another, you also get a touch of real art in the matter of hammer swinging. Ab Abklns said he lost a good deal of his enthusiasm when he had to quit talking about what he was going to do. and go to worn. While it may be impossible to fool all the people all the time, enough are easy to enable a clairvoyant to make living and other luxuries. JAI1AW1E1R JOTS OH SFBR OF TEE MOMENT BV ROY K. MOCLTOM.

So it doesn't make much difference what we tell you to do for it. Try pour ing the best grade of maple syrup thru the holes in an old boot. This, at least, has never been tried. Sneezing in Very Young The dispo sition to sneeze immoderately should be overcome in small children. They only do it to annoy because they know it teases. It indicates a wilful nature. Try steeping the infant's head in hot vinegar. This softens the nasal car tilage and makes only the mildest, one-syllable sneezes possible. Warts How many have you? Warts up to the number of of six may be re moved by covering them with a sauce pan and letting them set over night in a cool place. This doesn't work often tho and it's hard to do. What do you want to get rid of them for anyway? Freckles It is hard to cure freckles in a temperate climate. The natives of torrid climates, especially Africa, are seen never to have freckles and they probably wouldn't be bothering us for recipes if they did. Where did you catch your freckles?

There are certain qualities in men and women, manifestations of which sends queer, fine thrills thru one. One is physical courage; anotner is the moral courage of one a convic tions; and another (and to me per haps the greatest of all) is that spien did squareness that honors superior ity even in a rival. When two great tennis players shake hands after the tournament that has left one of them defeated and the one who has lost looks the other in the eye, and says, "The best man won," I can feel a thrill so noignant that it is actually physical. One can even get tnis tnriu Dy reading of the great men who have held this high humility. Take, for instance, the case of Tur- genev, tne tussian writer. lurgenev was famous all over the world when Tolstoi was practically unknown. Yet Turgenev himself considered Tolstoi his superior, and tried to make others realize it by sending Tolstoi's works to men of letters everywhere. When he lay dying he wrote to Tolstoi: write to tell you how happy I am to have been your contemporary." And yet even then he himself was still regarded as the greatest Russian writer! I wonder if I have told you my fa vorite story of Thackeray. A young writer justified himself in some Idio matic expression that had been criti cised by saying that Scott also used it. Whereupon Thackeray (who to me, at least, is Infinitely greater than Scott) replied, "It does not behoove either of us to compare ourselves with that great and good man." Nor was Scott, himself, deficient in this fine humility. Far from it. He was a humble admirer of Jane Aus ten's works and said that he could do "the big bow-wow strain himself," but could never produce such delicate and wonderfully accurate pictures as she. Edwin Booth once said that a Christian was one who rejoiced in the superiority of a rival; and Professor Phelps, to whom I am indebted for the. quotation, comments, Ir this be true, how few are they who will enter into the Kingdom of God."

Her hair was golden and her large, inquiring eyes were brown. They flashed with great hope and the wonderful dreams of youth. She ar rived In New York with the conviction that an amazing- adventure was wait ing for her each time she turned a corner. She lived alone for one week in the goal city of the United States, and, of course, it happened. On the first day of her second week's stay in the old-fashioned boarding-house, she descended the dark, musty-smelling halls, with the dim gas Jets burning to the dining-room for luncheon. The long, gloomy stairs and halls and the linoleum-covered dining-room were the most depressing things Claire had ever met with. It took all her courage to get down from the fourth floor to the basement. Claire was not only dewy, fresh and rosv. she had cultivated an air oi dash and she was wistful, but of this latter quality she was utterly uncon scious. When she entered tne ainmg- room she found a stranger at her ta ble. New York is over filled with pretty girls, the subways are crowded to the doors with them. Fifth avenue reeks beauty; but Gilbert Brown sat up when he looked at Claire. By the time Claire had finished her soup he was looking at her with a- kind of tenderness and a little awe. Claire looked him over completely without, apparently, taking her eyes from the cream pitcher in front of her. He was too big, she decided, one shrank from men so broad and with such square chins. She liked gentle. slender men with receding cmns. There was something .so delicate about her, she seemed a little beyond j Gilbert Brown, but he started to taiK. anyway. To Claire's dismay, he per-, sisted in talking. However, the ex-1 nression of his eyes when he looKea at her illuminated the drabness of the gloomy dining room, so Claire dim pled and flashed her white teeth in his direction. Instead or giving tne sparkling replies he--:had hoped .foe. But the reverence she awoke in tne breast of Gilbert made up in part for her fragile mentality. Lunch finished, they went up tne stairs to a still gloomier room, known as the library. After another nair hour's acquaintance he felt free to in quire. Haven t you any one to look after you She answered with a lilting laugn, No one's ever taken care of me. I only-have Aunt Annie, who was glad I came to New York." Well, you don't want to stay here. he told her. "You're too young to stay here alone, you're too pretty. Claire elevated her eyebrows. "But I love it!" Taking him into her confidence she leaned tensely toward him. "I shall go on the stage, or be a model, she said, "but if I fail in that," she looked earnestly into his eyes, "I'll be a pri vate secretary to a Wall street finan cier. You see, I must do some kind of work, and soon, because I'm very, very poor. Go back home, child," he- warned her; "you won't stand being banged about here." She gave the man a long, specula tive glance. "I haven't any home to go to," she laughed lightly, dismiss ing the subject forever. A thought flashed into her golden head that here was a chance for adventure. She wanted to dance and dine in the res taurants and her week in New York proved that she probably never would, unless she went alone. She astonished the man by telling him this. All her girlish desires for experience beamed trustfully from her brown eyes as she talked. Breathlessly she waited for what he would say. and his advice as to how to gain admission to the de lights of the city. "I'll take you to a show." he of fered eagerly. Claire's pink cheeks grew a warmer pink. She hesitated, then sent him a dimpled smile. She really had not meant just that. "First we'll have dinner with a cabaret, then a show after," he urged. Still Claire hesitated. This big, broad-shouldered man did not at all fit into Claire's scheme of things. Be sides it seemed like dizzily plunging into all the pleasures In one leap. The opportunity so suddenly presented took her breath away. His eyes were burning into hers In an uncomfortable way. The temptation to seek adven ture was too strong to deny. He be gan to look like a knight of old thru her little-girl eyes, come to her res cue,, and she promised him she would go. Upstairs in the tiniest hall bedroom ever built into a boarding house, toe fore a long, gilt edged mirror, a relic of the day when the house was In its glory, Claire dressed for the evening. aglow with the wonder of the adven ture on which she was starting. When she met Brown her eager brown eyes looked directly into his. Her tight grasp on his arm gave him the feeling of being a protector In a deeper sense than ever before. She carried her head high, animated with the joy of living. She Intoxicated Brown. The cheap dazzle of Broadway wearied him. but Claire laughed up at him in childish excitement. Her dainty self eauirht and reflected the soirit of taiety that swayed the crowd. He felt sick to see how quickly she became nart of the sordidness of her surroundings. "Do you like this sort of thing," he questioned wonderingly. "I can't thank you enough for tak ing me," she chirped; "it's all more beautiful than I ever dreamed, much more wonderful! She started 'or home willingly when ne suggrsieu ii. i "You must not come again," he cau-1 EVENING J tioned her, "other men will ask you." I "But I want to come again," she 1 protested. Secretly Brown made up his mind that in the morning he would look up the first train to her home town, and see that she took it, if he had to take her to the station himself. Aloud he said, "You're the nicest little girl I ever saw!" Claire placed her soft palm over his mouth. You've told me every minut that I'm pretty." He caught her hand and held It. He knew he should drop it, but she looked at him with bright, happy eyes and smiled. Brown's heart always ruled his head and at the touch of her soft little arm against his, he drew her dose to him. He covered her face with kisses. I want you with me always, sweet one," he whispered in a trembling voice, "I don't want to let you go." She put her arms him and kissed him. Releasing her, he drew his breath in sharply. "I shouldn't have talked to you at all. You re too good for men like me. Tomorrow he con tinued. Smiling sweetly into, his face, Claire interrupted. "Tomorrow we'll go ad venturing again." Her soft little hands touched his cheeks. "I know all the happiness in the world must be in New York." Brown clenched her hands in his strong grip. "I don't want to let you go out of my life, but "I shan't. We'll be perfectly happy together," Claire laughed and cuddled closer to htm. Then she whispered, "This is my first proposal!" It was several minutes before Gil bert Brown could speak. In his heart, which was big, he was glad for the in nocence of her. "Little treasure," he murmured, "I'll be a good husband to you." "Tell me, dear," she asked, "did you love me the very minute you looked at me so hard at lunch today?" He shook his head silently and held her close to his heart.

To clean mirrors, try a small piece of wash leather, dampened with methylated spirits, and polish after ward with a coft cloth. To clean a stiff doormat, place it in a bath of soapy water, scrub well with a hard scrubbing brush, rinse well in cold water and stand on its side to dry.- To clarify butter, heat the butter in an enameled sauce, pan, remove the scum as it rises and pour the clear liquid carefully from the sedi ment in the bottom of the pan. Milk which has been burned should be poured at once into a jug and placed jn a k basing of cold water. Leave it until cool, when all trace of the burnt taste and smell will have disappeared.

Dish for Hearty Eaters Since pota toes are so high, try this recipe a dish for hearty appetites and just the thing for outdoor workers.

When water comes to a boil. drain beans thru colander, return them to sauce pan and cover with boil ing water. Take five pounds of ham (shoulder of ham is much cheaper and just as good for this dish), put it in with beans, add pint of canned toma toes pressed thru a sieve, one small green chili or pepper (seeded and cut in small pieces) and one small onion chopped fine.

"No, I don't," replied Billy, and he rubbed his eyes as tho he could hard ly keep awake long enough to sav that much, "I've got to eat some more." Toppy stared. "Eat some more? You greedy fellow!

Billy Raccoon only shook his head in a sleepy, tired fashion. "You don't seem to understand, Toppy." he said. "I'm not eating because I'm greedy. I eat because I have to.

A fair price is paid for it, and the economical housewife should turn it into money. Many burn their waste paper be cause buyers demand that it be baled. The baling process is simple. A home-made baling press may be easily constructed. Obtain a good-sized storebox, and make a slot a few inches wide length wise on the bottom. Lay in the box three or four stout pieces of twine, lengthwise of bottom and parallel to each other a few inches apart, leaving ends extend over the ends of the box long enough to tie over bale after box is filled with paper. Having done this, provide a lining for the box. This may be an old pioco of cloth, carpet or tough wrapping paper, which fit to sides of box over strings, leaving long ends extend over ends of box, as with strings. Each day deposit waste paper in the box as it accumulates, pounding it down to make it compact. When the box is full, draw the endn of the lining over the top and fasten the strings secure ly. The slot in the bottom of the box will enable you to force the bale out. Newspapers and magazines need not be baled, just tied into bundles. me Tales thoughtfully. "I hadn't thought of that.

TRUST TO WILSON Trainmen Satisfied With Their Case in His Hands. Kansas Battleground for Big 8-Hour Law Fight. Washington, D. C Nov. 21. Rep resentative W. C. Adamson. father of the eight-hour law, after a conference with President Wilson, has announced that congress would be asked to in crease the interstate commerce com mission from seven to nine members. The purpose would be, he said, to bring wage disputes within the scope of the commission. The chiefs of the four big brother hoods. Warren S. Stone, W. G. Lea, L. E. Shephard and W. 8. Carter wen leaving the White House as Mr. Adamson arrived. The leaders told President Wilson they came to offer congratulations on his re-election and personally to assure him they felt safe with their case in his hands. Call Waa Brief. The railroad men were with the president less than ten minutes. When they left. Stone, chief of the lo comotive engineers, was asked if the vote taken by the unions in August declaring a strike would stand in the event the eight-hour law is declared unconstitutional. "We will answer that later," he re plied. The union leaders appeared to have been greatly pleased by the reception accorded them by the president, not withstanding their unwillingness to talk. According to Representative Ada n son, a feature of the proposed legis lation would be an Instruction to tie commission to construe the commerce act to mean that the rate faxing body will also have the power to fix wages. An effort will be made to enact the entire program suggested by Presi dent Wilson to congress last August. R. R. Strike Suits. Standing on the steps of the White House, Mr. Adamson. who is chair man of the interstate and foreign committee of the house, characterized the legal steps taken to test the con stitutionality of the eight-hour law as "strike suits. His statement was accepted as representing the attitude of the administration concerning the efforts of the railroads to combat the law. "The railroad executives are angry because they did not get an increase in freight ratei"," Mr. Adamson de clared. "President Wilfon never made any such promise, but the high priced lawyers are now endeavoring to make it appear that he did. "My only regret is that we can not fix the wages of the railroad president and the lawyers who get big salaries for such work." There was a humorous twinkle in Mr. Adamson's eyes as he made the last statement It is not denied in ad ministration circles, however, that the fight that railroads are making has prejudiced the case against them. Begin Battle in Kansas. The department of justice has taken swift and decisive action to defend the eight-hour law. Kansas 'was selected as the battleground for the first skir mish in the courts. Two assistants of the attorney general's office have started west to meet the attack on the law started by the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific railroads. The cases are set for hearing on Thursday of this week and it is the government's purpose to insist upon an immediate argument on the consti tutionality of the measure.

Dean's Republican Claim Disput ed at Co-operative Club. "The time is pa3t when the Repub licans can claim the Lord and all the elements," declared L. M. Penwell at the Co-operative club luncheon n Elks hall today noon, in a witty reply to J. S. Dean, who spoke from the Republican standpoint at the luncheon a week ago. "We're going pretty fast," he said, referring to the great inventions of recent years of important economic importance and just now reaching their most advanced stage. He laid it all to the last Democratic adminis tration, adding that "people, as well as times, are changing." Frank Burrow, J. C. Emahizer and J.- C.

"Blue Tuesday," the bane of mem bership campaigns, yielded 209 new members for the fifteen teams in the Chamber of Commerce, making the total membership gain today 474, of which 309 are new acquisitions to the organization. K. L, Piatt, president of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, gave the enthusiasm speech at the noon meeting and much "pep" was in evi dence. The membership feat of the day was the capture of Mayor J. E. House, who has immunized himself previously by the plea that he had no commercial interests. House's excuse furnished Piatt with text. "If a mayor of St. Joe said such a thing," shouted the St. Joe president, "we would have taken him down to the river and ducked him until he got some sense." "The man who will not stand be hind the town's eentral organization," further declared Piatt, "is a leech on the body politic." The remainder of his speech was given to the citation of the work of the St. Joe Chamber of Commerce, which in the last four years has nearly succeeded in awak ening the Missouri town. Special em phasis was laid by Piatt upon the im portance of having a finance commit tee to help float the stock of new en terprises. E. H.

New York, Nov. 21 Chairman Will cox of the Republican national com mittee today declared no telegram conceding the election of President Wilson or congratulating him has been prepared, so far as he knows. Commenting on reports published in New York that Charles E. Hughes had really prepared a telegram of con gratulation, Willcox said: "I know of no such statement hav ing been prepared. 1 saw the gover nor last night and the situation is just where it has been. There is" no change. We have not said anything about the official count because the official count is not yet completed and we certainly would not have anything to say about anything else. I do not know what the result of the official count will be any more than you do and it would be foolish of me to say anything about it." TOPEKA GIRL IN IT Louise Mann In "War's Women" Coxy Theater. at North Topeka people who attend the lnce feature, "War's "Women," at the Cozy will recognize Louise Mann, a former North Topeka girl, in "the Abbess. She carries a difficult role and handles it with strength and pa- tnos. "War's Women" is up to its ad vance notices. Keenan as "the terri ble Turk," communicates to the audi ence cruelty and bestiality of the breed with harrowing power. Enid Markey, who hitheito has been seen as an ingenue, fulfills her pathetic role to the utmost. The production is lavishly staged and as far as expense goes is unquestionably a real "fea ture." And for dramatic power it is also a feature. The dream of the colonel, rattier or ;ma jviarkey in tne picture, which is the main part of the film, is almost too excruciating. ut it we are to believe reports it does not ex aggergate, and if it unquestionably drives home the theme of the drama with trip-hammer force. It is a clever dramatic device and lifts the picture irom the plane or mere sensationalism The "War's Women" has tremend ous punch and those who insist that the film-drama is a sedative should stay away. But those who love thrills and lavish settings should attend en masse. D. H. RECALL VON FALKENHAYN Humor Commander in Rumania Is to Bo Succeeded by Mackcnscn.

Special Train Over Road Clean Up Mexicans. to DR. RASTER GIVES STATEMENT Strict Watch Against Spread of Disease Here. Disinfect and Clean Out Bunk Cars Soon. All Jesus Lopez, a Mexican laborer, liv ing at 206 Hancock street, has been found to be infected with typhus fever, a disease which has hitherto been known as "Jail fever," and is due to conditions of filth and personal un cleanliness of the patient. Typhus is transmitted from one pa tient to another thru the bfte of the body louse, and a campaign of clean ing up and disinfection among the Mexicans in East Topeka, was imme diately instituted by the boards .of health of the city and state. Lopez and the members of the fam ily with which he has been living, were quarantined at once, and the house where they had been living was fumigated. Following the discovery of the dis ease an examination of all school chil dren was made, and a number were instructed to go home and rid them selves of vermin. The early symptoms of typhus are similar to those of typhoid tever, tho the two diseases are in no way related or similar. The typhus fever lasts two or three weeks and is accompanied by eruptions of the skin, resembling measles. About 40 per cent or tn3 persons attacked by the disease, die. Lopez has been living in TopeKa six months. His mother left Mexico more recently, and has been ill, and it is be lieved that she had the disease. A Santa Fe train equipped with ap paratus for instituting of cleanliness and preventing the disease, is being fitted out now in Iowa, and will start on a tour of the Santa Fe system soon. Doctor Raster's Statement. Dr. J. P. Raster, superintendent of the Santa Fe hospital in Topeka, made the following statement to a reporter for the State Journal this morning: "Typhus fever is a disease which is communicated from one person to an other only by the bite of vermin. There is no other way of communicat ing the disease. If there are no ver min there can be no typhus fever. .A person may be infested with vermin and still not have typhus fever. It is only the vermin which have been feed ing on the patient who has typhus fever that can carry the disease. "Fortunately the vermin will not communicate the disease to one anoth er. Hence, if a patient has typhus fever and the vermin are destroyed the patient can not communicate the disease to the attendants. This shows how easily the disease may be con trolled, and how surely. The impor tant thing in this connection is the destruction of body vermin. This is surely and quickly done by bathing in coal oil and soap suds, equal parts. It is of course necessary to destroy the vermin that may be in the clothing. This is accomplished by boiling clothing that is not Inlnreri by boiling. Other clothing may be cleansed by wetting it with gasoline, and hanging the clothing outside, al lowing the gasoline to evaporate. Great care must be exercised in using gasoline, and in order to be safe, cloth ing to be cleansed with gasoline should always be taken outside the house be fore gasoline is applied and not re turned to the house until thoroly dry and all trace of the gasoline is gone. The Only Way. "Typhus fever cannot be communi cated thru the agency of the air. It is only produced by the bite of vermin which have previously fed on the body of a patient having typhus fe- "Typhus and typhoid fever are two distinct diseases produced by entirely different causes, and are In no wav related. "The United States government is doing all that it can to prevent the importation of typhus fever into this country, resorting to the best known means of preventing it. Unfortunate ly, conditions in Mexico are not favor able and many Mexicans are trying to get out of that country. In order to do so they, being ignorant, are not heartily in favor of all the measures instituted for the purpose of prevent ing tne entrance of the disease. Many of them resort to crossing tne river outside or tne port of entrv. even in face of the fact that the bor der Is patrolled by United States sol diers. xne banta -e railroad is more than willing to do everything reason able for the prevention of the spread of this disease. A moment's thought will show how great an undertaking mis is. -rne Santa Fe is now fitting up a number of cars at Port Madison. lowa, to be used in helping he state. ooara or neaitn to do what disinfect ing and cleaning is thought necessary and best. One car will be fitted to be used for the purpose of bathing the patients; another for the purpose of sterilizing the clothing of the pa tients; another will be fitted with the necessary apparatus and chemicals for the disinfection. Another car will be furnished for the comfort of the crew that will have charge of this work. Train to Start Soon. "This project will be under the di rect supervisioin of Dr. M. F. Boyd, of the lowa state board of health. It will be some time before the Santa Fe can have the train fitted as desired but the work is now going on and the train will probably be started today or tomorrow. "In Topeka, strict watch is being kept for any possible sickness among the Mexicans, that might be even sus pected of being this disease. All the houses in which any member of the family has been konwn to visit the house in which the typhus' fever pa tient was found, have been fumigated and washed with the coal oil solution. The work in Topeka is being done un der the direct supervision of the city and state boards of health. "A campaign for the extermination of the vermin will be undertaken, and is in progress today, taking first all places to which any suspicions of pos sible infection might attach." "I wish I conld be certain that Alger non retOly loves me." "Why?" "Then I could be sure he wonld remain hitched while I look for a better catch." Louis ville Courier-JouruaL THEY SAID, GO ON, JOHN The Wheels of a Freight Dinned It Into McCrow's Kara. "Go on, John." These words uttered by friends of John McCrow six months ago when he was facing: a grand larceny charge caused him to jump his bond. They caused him to ride the brake beams to New York City and the wheels seemed to say the same thing; as he rode the bumpers. They drove him to Santiago, Cuba, on a freight steam er, and ceased there. Then John McCrow began coming back towards Topeka. Booze, which caused him his initial trouble, finally caused him to arrive safely in charge of Sheriff Kiene today. John got drunk at Aurora, 111., and his identity became known. Bondsmen holding the sack in Topeka arranged a trip to Aurora, for the sheriff and he arrived with his prisoner today. "The wheels seems to sing 'go on John' all the way to New York," Mc Crow told the sheriff. McCrow work ed on construction gangs in Topeka. POLICE DOUBT IT Hypodermic Needle Belief Has Not Been Confirmed. Negro Attempted Assault on Mrs. Iva Sharp. That a hypodermic needle was jab bed into the hip of Mrs. Iva Sharp, 1023 Madison street, by a negro who attempted to assault her Monday at midnight, on Tenth street between Madison and Monroe streets, is doubt ed by the police. But even with this sensational phase placed in the dis card, the Topeka police are working on the case. At noon today Chief Parsons announced that a negro had been arrested but that no Incriminat ing evidence against him had been unearthed. Mrs. Sharp, a widow and mother of a small son, was confined to her bed today at the home of her mother, Mrs. Carrie McQuilkin, 1023 Madison street. She is unable to lie on her right side where either a pin, a knife or a hypodermic needle punctured her hip as she struggled with her black assailant, on a dark porch. Er. L. V. Sams stated this morning that he was unable to determine whether her con dition was a direct result of the strug gle or was caused by the fluid from the hypodermic, if a hypodermic was used. He doesn't expect to be able to determine for a few days. Whether her condition is serious Is not known at this time. Negro Followed Her. Mrs. Sharp was employed at the National hotel as a maid and was working on a night shift. She left the hotel at 11:30 o'clock and walked up Kansas avenue to Tenth avenue. and turned east on the north side of the street. She had not gone far un til she saw a man following her. In an attempt to rid herself of -him she crossed Tenth avenue to the south side but he continued to follow. Between Monroe and Madison streets she became panic stricken and ran onto a porch of a house adjoining the alley. She feared to cross the al ley lest the negro catch up with her and drag her into the dark recesses. The man followed her onto the porch, placed his arm around her and as his black face peered at her, in vited her to go with htm. She screamed and struggled. He bit her on the neck until blood flowed and at the same time she felt what she be lieved to be the pierce of a hypoder mic needle in her side. Neighbors Frightened Assailant. Mrs. Sharp's screams aroused neighbor, who stuck his head out of a window and shouted. The negro ran. Mrs. Sharp was so frightened she could not go home alone and two men living in neighboring houses escorted her: Mrs. Sharp had been in ill health and recently underwent a surgical op eration from which she had recovered rapidly and was beginning to be in bet ter health than she had enjoyed for years, her mother stated this morn ing. She was divorced from her hus band about a year ago and intended to quit working at the hotel in a week and begin working in an office.

METHODISTS TO DONATE MORE Presbyterians Second Two Quakers Are Coming. One Episcopalian and Catholic in List. One Letters from 98 of the 165 members of the 1917 legislature, show that 62 of the number claim some church membership or affiliation. Should the ratio continue, the next Kansas house and senate will show a ratio of nearly two to one church going men. The showing is probably far above the average for legislative or deliberative bodies. Just 36 of the 98 reports are from men not affiliated with any church. Several of these reports, however, in dicate that the members occasionally attend some church. Not all of the remaining 62 members are affiliated with a church by membership. number of them mention that they at tend church or feel a leaning toward some church organization. W. A. S. Bird, re-elected as a member from Shawnee county, probably expresses a popular sentiment among non-church going members. Answering the auerv as to his church relationship. Bird replies: A Irienaiy reeling to ward all. Church Poll. As is frequently the case in a church poll, the Methodists lead. But they have a narrow margin to work on. The Presbyterians are right on their heels and may hold the lead when returns are completed. The Methodists claim 23 of the 62 church-going memDers or 35 per cent of the total. The Pres byterians are second with eighteen legislative members. Baptists and Christians are in a close race for tnird place. From reports received by the State Journal, ten members claim re lationship with or leaning toward the Baptist church, while nine ravor me Christian church. The Congregational church is fiftn In the race with five members. Two legislators are Lutherans, one Episco palian, one Swedish Mission, two Quakers and one Catholic. PLAYMATE HANGED But Despite Evidence Grand Jury Vindicates Dead Boy's Companions. Shelby ville. 111., Nov. 21. Three young boys, Gilbert Rhodes, Lutie Lowery and Johnny Hinton, the oiaest 14 vears old. today were vindicated of the charge of having murdered their playmate, Willie Smith, 10 years old, and then hanged his body irom a raft er in a deserted barn. 1 tThe Shelby county grand jury re- f uSl .to return a true bill against the three lads. The murder and the arrest of the boys forms the strangest and most pit iful mystery In the history of crime annals of this country. Early last summer the four boys left their homes here for a jaunt into the woods. The three boys released today returned at evening without lit tle Willie Smith, the youngest of the party. 1 II HI Anao dou; in nam. They could give no clear account of his disappearance. Ten days later, the nude body of little Willie was found stretching from the rafter of a de serted barn. His throat had been cut before he was hanged. His three companions were ordered held by the coroner's jury. In the pockets of one of 'the boys was found a tobacco pouch carried by young Smith and at the home of another was found a bloody pair of overalls. De spite the evidence against them, the three lads have clung to their story that they knew nothing of the death of their little companion. This fact is believed to have influenced the grand Jury. Little Willie's mother, poor and widowed, has never recovered from the shock of her son's death. INCREASEJ5 MILLION K. C. Banks Make jSensational Jump in Deposits in 10 Weeks.

NO APPEAL BOARD Attorney General 'Recommends Change in Censor Law. Let State Superintendent Take the Responsibility. In his biennial report sent to Gov ernor Capper today, S. M. Brewster, attorney general, urges repeal of the provision, in the motion picture cen sorship law, providing for the present appeal board. Brewster, with Gov ernor Capper and J. T. Botkin, secre tary of state, are members of the ap peal board. The work of the board Brewster would now pass to the state superintendent of public instruction or members of a board appointed by him. Or, Brewster declares, he is perfectly willing that the legislature abolish the appeal board. Extension of the inquisition powers of the attorney general and county at torneys is also urged by Brewster. The 1915 legislature sought to grant this power. But some one slipped a joker into the bill and it is effective only in places where it is not needed. Brewster also urges the governor to lay before the legislature the neces sity, of care in writing revenue pro ducing measures. He calls the atten tion of the state to the recent loss of the oil inspection fees when the su preme court declared the law uncon stitutional and a revenue producing measure rather than an inspection act. "As the law is now constituted, the appeal board has no jurisdiction over any moving picture films which have been approved by the censors," says Brewster. "No person interested has any right to appeal from the decision of the censors approving a picture." It is probable that several of the suggestions contained in the Brewster report will find a place in Governor Capper's message to the 1917 legisla ture. Brewster urges that the rate making power of the public utilities corrtmission be made clear and em phatic. He urges that the legislature safeguard the writing of revenue and inspection measures. The report cov ers much of the more important work of the department during Brewster's administration, yet will eat up less white paper at the state printing plant than any report from the attorney general's office in recent years.

The Social Service club, which Is an organization of thirty young ma trons and girls for purposes of char ity and social betterment work, gave a tea Monday afternoon, and a white elephant sale, at the home of Mrs. Robert Garver. one of the members, and her mother, Mrs. George W. Park hurst, a patroness of the society. The guests were received bv Miss Grace Koontz, who directed them to the third floor of the house, where the billiard room was made into a shop and market. Around the walls were arranged counters, on which were of fered for sale satin slippers, breakfast caps, crochet work, baby caps and stockings, and on the market tables were canned fruits and vegetables, milk and cream, and candy. On the billiard table were packages for the "grab" sale. They were numbered, and at a side table corresponding numbers were sold for 25 cents each. The entertainment consisted ln discov ering what the purchase should turn out to be when it was unwrapped. The chances were strong that the childless matron would draw a pair of baby slippers and the woman who boards would get a cook book, and the bookworm would draw a fern dish. The articles offered for sale are those brought by members of the club from their ntock of past gifs or purchases which have been found to be of little or no use to the owner, because they are misfits or the wrong color or not according to her taste for some reason. They are taken to sales ln the hope that they may just suit somebody else. The acquisition of things one doesn't want is the keystone to the white ele phant sale. The club sold out their articles very well, and a silver offering was brought also for the tea. The serving was done in tne dining room, where the table was decorated with roses. Mrs. S. S. Estey and Mrs. Parkhurst poured tea. and some of the younger girls of the organization assisted them in serving. Each of the thirty members was ex pected to Invite ten guests, extending the invitation to three hundred peo ple. The money realized at the par.y is to be used to employ a teacher at the Redden mission school, which is the largest undertaking of the club. The guests all left with bundles un der their arms, which will be used, not necessarily- to adorn themselves or their houses, but never mind, some unsuspecting friends will receive those same bundles r!ong about the twenty-fifth of rrext month. And when the donor wraps up her pack ages she had better breathe the pray er of the Kansas City paragrapher, "Forgive us our Christ mases as we forgive those who Christmas against us. Wealthy church members of Chica go were today seriously weighing the pleas of William Jennings Bryan there that they exclude wine from their tables. "Such action will take from liquor men the argument that the saloon .s the poor man's club and that the rich have no right to enjoy wines at their clubs and tables while they deprive the poor man of his enjoyment," Bry an said. He acknowledged his change of mind on the question of prohibition, saying that he once voted for high license and against state prohibition. "But I changed because .1 found liquor interests would not adjust themselves to any community unless they controlled -t," he said. "I am now in favor of the dry fight ln town, county, state or nation and I am ready to Join with other nations in wiping the liquor traffic from the face of the earth." Bryan announced today he would return later for a ten day campaign to aid Chicago in its anti-saloon fight which ia to culminate in 1918.

AT THE THEATERS Th Only Girt" Ton In hi. The book of "Tbe Only Girl," Victor Herbert! musical comedy, coming to the Grand tonight, demands not only that the actress who plays the leading role shall be a singer and a comedienne, but that she be a pianist as well. Grace Keuuicotc. who assumes the leading role, was there fore selected for her ability at the key board aa well as for her other talents. The story of the musical comedy deals with the aptitude of the heroine fur musi cal composition, and during the action of the piece she plays several soups she has composed. Their merit attracts the At tention of a young librettist, a woman hater, by the way, who Is on the lookont for some novel musical ideas to use in a comic opera he is working ou. I Respite his prejudice against the sex. he forms a partnership with tbe young musician and, as may be imagined, she later proves to be "the only girl" for him. At the Majestic. The p!ay "Lazy Bill" the production that will be seen at the Majestic Friday and Saturday night and Saturday matinee Is Mr. W. B. Patton's latest success and comes to us very highly recommended by some flattering press notices taken from the papers of the Jnrger cities where he bas been playing. Mr. Patton is an ex ceptionally clever actor In bis own ieculiar way, the show public seem to always en Jor his work and thev are sure Of some thing good as he has the reputation of I bringing a splendid play and an excellent company every time be comes to town. At tbe Iris. The engagement of the Fox film featur ing Dustin Farnum in "A Son of Erin" will close at the Iris tonight. This popular player has filled the Iris each time be has appeared here. This per formance is no exception to the rule judged by the attendance yesterday. At the Orpheum.

GREAT NOVELTY BILL Best Show of Season at Vaudeville House This Week. The stage of the Novelty supports the best bill of vaudeville that has been seen there this year A reviewer might stand up before all the world and say: "There was some bill." The lariat dancers start without much promise, yet have the audience com pletely roped before the act has prog ressed far. Grace Terry's lariat danc ing in "chaps" almost rivalled the later act of the Hawaiian princess for applause. Ethel and Mae Barker on piano and violin provide real enter tainment. The violinist extorts fine tone from her fiddle and is besides good to look upon. Act four should have been billed as Prince and Mrs. Kalama or excuse our ignorance of conventional titles of royalty. Prince and Princess Kalama. Their act is without doubt the strongest on the Novelty board this season. Kalama has a beautiful voice, as round and full as a harvest moon and his rendition of Hawllan music, (originated ln the haunts of Bast Forty-second street. New York) on the guitar titillates the rag-time sense in a marvelous fashion. The Princess Kalama is beautiful, on stage and off. She has a fine voice and the Hula-Hlua, warranted genuine, removes the sting of the cancellation of the appearance of Maude Allan. Monday afternoon, on the third en core, the little heir-apparent of the Kalama family, not 2 years old, was brought back to the view of the audience, for a second. Then he was whisked back to his nurse. The audi ence clapped for his return. The comedy of the Kilkenny Four in "Bringing Up Father" is excellent. The makeup of "Father" in the sketch in no way violates the Jiggs por traits in the daily cartoon, in the State Journal. Following the conclu sion of the season "Father" will take the part of "Jiggs" in the movies of "Bringing Up Father," of which the scenario is now being prepared by McManus. The Stewart Sisters put ou a pleasant enough dancing act for a wind-up. They dance with an evident enjoyment that communicates itself to the audience. The Novelty should have packed houses for the remainder of the stay of the bill. D. H. SCOTTISH RITE REUNION Eighty Petitioners Began Work In Topeka.

That Topeka will be given an opportunity'to become affiliated with the Western association of professional baseball clubs next Sunday when the magnates of the association meet in Oklahoma City to formulate plans for next season is assured by a letter re ceived by the sporting editor of the State Journal from E. M. Duncan, president of the Oklahoma City baseball club. Topekans who are interested in the proposed plan to transfer the capital of Kansas from the Western league are urged to get together and send a representative to the Oklahoma City meeting. According to the statement of Mr. Duncan, the "Big Four" of the West ern association are determined to cut loose from their -weaker sisters, are anxious to raise the classification of their league and to take in both To peka and Wichita, forming a class B league with a salary limit of $1,800 a month. The letter from Mr. Duncan is as follows: Ilia Letter. Oklahoma City, Nov. 20, 1916. Sportim; Editor State Journal, Topeka, Kau. Dear Sir: Not knowinR who would lie the proper person for me to ad dress there but knowing that you are in u iKisltion to bear my message, 1 am writing you coneerniiuj Topeka representation at a meeting of the Western association here next Sunday. Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Muskogee and 1'ort imitli are determined on reorganization of the Western associ ation whereby it can lie advanced to classification. This would mean the ellniinatif.il of the three Texas mem bers, and the incorporation of Joplin, Springfield, Wichita ami Topeka. Htich a circuit with a S1.800 salary limit not only would give the fans a good brand of baseball, but would be a moneymaker. My Information is that Topeka and Wichita territories are available. Also that the majority of the fans at both places would not lie averse to getting into such a league. Frankly. I be lieve they would lie better satisfied than to remain wnere nicy ore. Will vou not see that Topeka lias a representative at our meeting, Novem ber a, here? Very truly yours, E. M. D1XCAV. r President Okla. City H. B. Club. Many Favor Plan. Since the close of the 1'jlS season there has been much talk of Topeka and Wichita becoming members of the Western association, and there seems to be a desire on the part of many local fans to get into a league where the Topeka club will not have such a hard time making ends meet and where there will be more of a chance to have a club always in the race than there is in the Western leaaue. The fact that John Savase, present owner of the Topeka franchise, was not at the New Orleans meeting and that he has stated definitely that he has "had enough" leads to the belief that any one interested in putting a "Western association franchise in To peka will find little opposition and will be insured the support of many local fans. At the close of last season Savage stated definitely that he would not have a club here next season, but since then he has done nothing in the way of finding another berth for his fran chise and the only drawback in the proposed affiliation with the Western association is the possibility that the SOLDIER PITCHES HIMSELF INTO JOB ON THE BORDER Soldier York of the Seventh Unit ed States infantry, who pitched a game at El Paso against Joe Gard-' ner's Texas league. aU-stars and gave them such a bad beating, has been signed by the Vancouver club of the Northwestern league for next year. Bob Brown's brother, Jim Brown, was in El J"aso and saw York work. He allowed but two hits in eleven innings and struck out fourteen men in his game against the Texas leaguers.

Such a course as this, however, would only serve to turn Topekans a grain st the league and it is not thought that the supreme court of baseball would stand for it, if at tempted. On account of the short time intervening- before the Oklahoma City meeting1, it is feared that it may be impossible to send a representative to confer with the association magnates, but now that the ico has been broken and a definite proposition has been made, it is practically assured that lo cal promoters will try to put thru a deal. RESTA KINGSPEEDER Famous Driver Assured American Cliamplonshtp Title This Year. Los Angtles, Cal., Nov. 21. Dario Resta, automobile racing driver, be came the sole claimant today of the American Automobile association's title of "champion driver of America," when Johnny Aitken. his rival, an nounced that he would not race at Ascot speedway on Thanksgiving day. Aitken said tonight he was leaving at once for the east with Wilcox, his teammate. He said that the prize money offered in the Ascot event was not sufficient to be attractive. Resta has 4,100 points for the cham pionship title. With Aitken out. there is no one remaining who can defeat him by winning the 700 points allowed the Ascot winner. This is the final contest of the year in which points will be allowed. PREPAREDNESS THEIR MOTTO. Army and "avy Teams Working Hard for Dig ISnttle Saturday. New York, Nov. 21. Preparing for the annual conflict at the Polo Grounds. Army and Navy football coachesiiave taken their charges into the secrecy of locked and barred foot ball fields where today opens the most strenuous practice of the season for Saturday's battle. The old armor has been taken down and dusted, the army mule has been stuffed on oats and the navy goat has had his horns sharp ened. At Annapolis they refuse to believe that the Army is going to repeat this year. Tales of Oliphant and Vidal, flanked by stories of Gerhardt and McEwan do not hold the slightest fear for the Navy. They declare no one ever saw the dope live up to the ad vance notices when the Army and Navy football teams meet. Gloom hangs heavy over Washburn football circles and the overconfi dence that sent the Ichabods down to defeat before the Fairmount Wheat shockers has given way to an evil just as deadly, the members of the team now feeling that they are greatly handicapped by the loss of their cap tain and quarterback and that they are doomed to feed upon defeat dur ing the remainder of the season, unless the'unlooked for happens. The game with the College of Em poria was looked upon as merely a practice encounter for the big Aggie battle up until last Friday night, but since then it has assumed monstrous proportions and is dreaded because it is felt that the Presbyterians will make It all the harder to put up real opposition to the ruthless Wildcats. The C. of E. team has a good back field and has material that looks like it should have had a better season than the records show. Therefore, Thursday's game will be no cinch, and if -Coach-Sanders gets his. men to going they may cop the long end of the score. f Washburn's Chances Slim. -The Only hope Tor Washburn lies in the ability of Coach" Kennedv to de velop unknown stars from some of his green men and for the players to show a fighting spirit and a unity of attack that they .have not shown since the beginning of the season. The quar terback situation could be a lot worse than it is, and it is the opinion of those who know him best that Champeny will run the team well despite his lack of experience. However, the line and the backfield, never strong, are woefully weak now and unless they are strengthened by the men exerting themselves to their utmost efforts it will not take much football on the part of the Aggies to win by a decisive score. The Aggie game is the one in which the coach and -the whole college ex pected to make a showing that would wipe out unpleasant memories 1 of earlier defeats, and it looks as tho every effort will be made this week to get the team at its best for the Manhattan clash, letting the C. of E. game go the easiest way and trusting largely to luck to defeat the Presby terians. Stewart May Play. Captain Stewart very likely will be able to play by Thanksgiving, but his injury will slow him up and will un doubtedly make it necessary for him to play in the line instead of in the backfield. There was only a light scrimmage Monday night, the entire practice period being devoted to signal drill and to working out soreness. There probably will be no heavy scrimmage before the meeting with the Empo rians, altho it is planned to have Champeny run the men thru the'r for mations as much as possible to et his hand in and to accustom the team to his methods. Reports from Manhattan te t1 Coach Clevenger is not taking the Thanksgiving game as lightly as might be expected and is conceding the Ich abods a better chance of "making a showing" than they themselves claim. He is said to he afraid his men wi'.l let up in their efforts and that they may become disastrously overconfi dent. PTjAX THIRD MAJOR IFAGITE? Ban Johnson Would Disrupt the Big Minor Organizations. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 21. Garry Herrmann frowned today. Ban John son's approval of the third major league idea caused the frown. John son's plan would make a circuit of the minor league clubs at Baltimore, To ronto, Buffalo, Louisville, Toledo, Mil waukee, Newark and Indianapolis. No provision is made for other clubs in the American Association and Interna tional league. "There is no necessity for such a major league at this time," Herrmann commented. That honor is nbt dead among the youth of Kansas even among 'those; who are frowned upon by the straight' laced is. demonstrtttea y .the action of '"Tex" Kouhs, on tne left of the, picture above, and .Captain McKibben, on the right, two of the Topeka high school football stars who quit Coach Elmer Bearg's team because they could not conscientiously sign a pledge to quit smoking.

Willard. endeavors regardless' of what you may think of a gridironist who will give up his favorite sport rather than abstain from the smoking, the spirit that prompted these two lads to quit their team is to be commended. "We felt that if we signed the pledge we would be unable to live up to it," they said, "so rather than break, our words we have decided to turn in our suits." Both were stars one the leader of his team and the other one of the best high school quarterbacks in the state but now they are just merely high school students who smoke. Noodles and Nuggets C-.

DRUGS AND TOILET GOODS The Modern Drag Store CUT-RATE 500 West 10th. Telephone 450. Free Delivery A Lincoln paper announces that the Comhuskers. humiliated by their defeat at the ha mis of K. U., will not even make a claim for the M. V. conference champion ship this season. If the Nebraska ns do not bnrk up on this. It will mean that the winner of the K. U. Tiger game Thursday week and the Kansas Aggies will each put In a claim, each boasting that it has suffered only one de feat and one tie game. However, aside from the edge Nebraska hns thprp in little done that indimtpn tn which team the big honor should go. Here are the records of the contenders to date: Amen defeated K. U. 13 to O. Nebraska defeated Ames S to 0. K. U. beat Nebrak 7 to 3. Ames played Missouri a tie. The Asrffies played K. V. a tie. The Aggies defeated Missouri 7 to 6. Nebraska defeated the Aggies 14 to 0. While the Missouri Valley teams are scrapping over the first muddle they have had in years. It might be remarked that for the first time in as many years, there Is no question about the awarding of the Kansas conference honor which will go to It!l Hargiss's Emporia State Teachers without a protest. Next to the Emporia Normals it now apl pears that Southwestern will take second place without question in the Kansas final ranking. The Moundbuilders hare already won four out of six of their conference games and expect to defeat Bethany and Ottawa with ease. They have defeated Friends, Baker and Fairmount and nae lost only to the Emporia Normals and Pittsburg. Dr. Weede's Cooper college team, despite early defeats, has made a rather remark--able showing, having wou its last five games by jrood margins. The Barrel makers have been defeated only by Souths western and Washburn, and they have made 75 points to 52 by all their op ponents. Cooper, however, is scheduled to meet the heavy Friends team Thursday nnd to close the season with the Hays Normal team, and she may look for a haril fight in both engagements. The Quakers are ex pecting an easy victory and the Hays lads will fight for the place in the sun that victory will give them. The Hays Normal team, by the way. has a record that it need not be ashamed of b a vi n g defea ted Ka n s s Wee ley a n. t of E., Bethany and St. Marys in a row. How ever, the Hays team hns not yet played enough games to be eligible to conference honors. Next Saturday Yale and Harvard will stage their so called classic battle and the winner will be lauded to the sky thruotit the length and breadth of the land, and the fact that Little Brown defeated both will be largely forgotten. Such is the fame that conies to Goliath and passes up. David in the gridiron world. The football schedule book announces that the Army and Navy will be pitted against each other at New York next Sat urday. However, to be specific, it should state that Oliphant and Vidal will be pit ted against the Nary. The state champions of Bill Kauris liable to be called the "White Caps" if they don't watch out. Some one at the Emporia Normal school conceived the idea of iiaiuting the headgear of all the players white, and the experiment has proved a revelation, so much so that there la a possibility that all teams soon may wear head harness of a distinctive color. The white headgear not only helps the Kmporia players in their forward passing and other playing but thev enable the spectators to distingish them from their opponents more thaa anything else possi bly could. A RIFLE CLUB SHOOT Cra.Zi Teams Will Compete on Local Range Thanksgiving Day. Two expert rifle teams the Kraee and the Jorgoenson six members of which participated in the national matches at Jacksonville, Fla., will shoot against each other in a free-for-all match Thanksgiving morning at 9 o'clock on the outdoor range of the Topeka Rifle club, situated on the grounds of the Boys' Industrial school. Those wishing to see some crack shooting at both close and long ranges with army guns are invited to be present. Admission is free. The teams will line up as follows: Krage J. M. Bicknell, S. B. Will cuts, Wm. Pettit, F. L. Howe. Jorgoenson Capt. J. Springstead, Erwin Keller, H. C. Ericsson. Gust Pyetzki. The ranges are as follows: 300 yards rapid fire A target, 20 shots. 500 yards slow fire B target, 20 shots. 600 yards slow fire B target, 20 shots. CLASSIFY AMATEURS Those Who Kngage In Sport Solely for Pleasure Not Professionals. New York, Nov. 21. The definition of an amateur as "a sportsman who engages in sport solely for the pleasure and physical, mental or social benefit he derives therefrom and to whom sport is nothing more than an avoca tion" was adopted at the annual meet ing; of the Amateur Athletic union, in session here. No announcement had been made at midnight regarding; the selection of officers and it was asserted no changes would be made. Delegations from eleven associations and allied bodies were in attendance when the meeting began and the re port of the record committee, which was announced was accepted and adopted. The report of Secretary Treasurer Rubien, which was favor ably passed on, showed the last year was profitable to the extent of $1,721 over all expenses, the best source of revenue being the national boxing championship held in Boston. UNFAIR JO PITT. Easterners Try to Put War ner's Team in Western Class. Old Fogies Do Not Lite to Give It Recognition. ADDITIONAL SPORT WILL BE FOUND ON OTHER PAGES BY FIUXK G. MEXRR New York, Nov. 21. And now that the University of Pittsburg threatens to duplicate its unbeaten record of 1915, some totally unfair rpjrt writ ers and football "experts" are trying to classify it among the western col leges. That's a little subterfucre to rre- vent them from awarding the eastern cnampionship to some college othir th..n Yale, Harvard or Princeton. There is a certain clique of narrow minaea folks who spoof the doings of every eleven other than the "Bia Three" and who t egrudge even a few words of praise, for any college other tnan yale. Harvard or Princeton. But the trick won't work this year. Pittsburg, geographically, is an east ern city; the college belongs kowhere except in the .last. All its gridiron foes are easterners. And so. if Pitt should keep its record unsullied until the end of the season, it must be ac corded the undisputed championship. unless some other major eleven also goes thru the year without suffering a setback. The Panthers have come forward with such an amazing rush In the football world during the past thre seasons that they are the collegiate sensations. Nothing like their mete oric rise has ever been seen before. And because of this, some biased crit ics look upon them as "fluke" per formers. What Pitt Has Done. Is it a fluke to do what Pitt ha done? It has gone thru two seasons without suffering defeat. In the last three years- it Mas been beaten but once. And in that time -it has played Cornell, Pennsylvania (twice), Syra cuse, Navy (twice), Carlisle, Wash ington and Jefferson (three times), Perm State (twice), Georgetown, Westminster (th.3e times), Allegheny, Carnegie Tech. Why hasn't -t played Yale, Har vard or Princeton? For the simple reason, gentle peruser, that none of them will give Pitt a game. Pitt wants to play each and every one of them has begged for the chance. But it has been denied. They play "safe" in Yale and Harvard and Princeton. They won't schedule games with teams that lock too good. And Pitt so 3ay all those who have seen the eleven in action this year has the most powerful eleven in America. Anent All-Americans. And as It is In ranking the elevens, so it has been in the past in naming members for the mythical ail-American elevens. Some folks are so med iaeval in their thoughts that they still believe star players can come from only Yale, Harvard or Princeton. Rarely does that crowd concede that a whirlwind player on another east ern eleven, or on a western team, is aa good or better than the Yale, Har vard or Princeton performers. Their slogan has been: "If he doesn't belong to Yale or Harvard or Princeton he isn't any good. And if he belongs to Yale or Harvard or Princeton, he's all right" After seeing Yale, Harvard and Princeton in action so far this year, it is our humble opinion that not one of those elevens has a backfield man whose all year doings entitle him to a place on the first or second all American elevens. But you'll find a few there when you look over the "fair" selections of that coterie of "experts." The Real Stars. Pollard, of Brown; Hastings, of Pittsburg; Gerrish, of Dartmouth: Hubbtll. of Colgate: D. Oliphant, of Army; McLaren, of Pittsbu.g: Thiel scher. of Dartmouth; Shwerick, of Cornell; Hillhouse, of Brown each and every one is a better all-around backfield man than we have seen operating this season for any of the "Big Three." But watch where they'll land when the clique of fogies begin dealing out their all-eastern and ail-American halfbacks and quarterbacks. Murphy Kim; of Drivers. Chicago. 111., Nev. 21. Thomaa W. Murphy of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. again leads the money winning drivers of the grand circuit. Murphy won $83. 557 on the circuit last season, which was J9.684 more than was w-on by Walter R. Cox of Dover. N. H-, his nearest competitor. Since 1909, when the Poughkeepsie reinsman first head ed the list of big money winning driv ers, he has won J632.S44.75. Rivers Still Has "Some Punch." New Orleans, La.. Nov. 21. Joe Thomas is in the hospital today suf fering concussion of the brain because Joe Rivers planted his famous right swing from the hip on his jaw in the third round of their scheduled 20 round bout here. Rivers was arrested pending developments. The blow landed Thomas on the mat with his feet in the air. TURKEYS FOR ALL Public Inyited to Participate in Gun Club Shoot. Appetite All That Is Necessary to Enter Events. An appetite for turkey is the only thing required to enter in the big "live bird" shoot that will be staged by the Topeka Gun club at its grounds in Highland Park next Tuesday. The wide, wide world is invited to parti cipate, a membership in the club not being required, and even if you do not have a gun you will be furnished with one if you want to join one of the many squads that will compete for the fat gobblers. Invitations have been sent out to shooters thruout the state and every one in Topeka is invited to attend. The officials of the club will divide the shooters into classes according to their past records so that the amateurs and beginners will not have to compete with the professionals and crack shots and this insures every participant a chance to win a turkey. Three Classes of Shooters. "The best shooters will be designated as class A shooters, the mediocre men as class B atwi th begtnners and no vices as class C. Eaeto squad will con sist, of .five men and the man who makes the highest score, or breaks the greatest number of bluerocks in- his squad will be presented with a tur key. Twenty-tlve birds have already been engaged and others will be proeured if they are needed. Even ammunition will be provided on the, grounds by the club, so that those who desire can go out free, handed and have no trouble carrying their prizes home. At the regular weekly shoot of the club this afternoon most of the mem bers planned to get their hands in and their eyes set for next week's big event, and it is expected that the more ambitious will go out for other prac tices before the end of the week. PRACTICE ON DIAMOND The Crimson Eleven Will Leave for New Haven Thursday. Cambridge, Mass.. Nov. 21. The Harvard football management an nounced today that Crimson squad will leave Thursday morning for New Haven for the game with Yale next Saturday. Immediately after their arrival at New Haven the players will go to the Yale bowl, where they will spend the rest of the afternoon in ac quainting themselves with the local conditions. They will practice on the baseball diamond during their stay there. The last home practice today and tomorrow probably will determine the final make-up of the eleven which will be started against Yale. Several positions still are uncertain. PIN TOURNEY RESULTS.

A book let telling all about the drives and re sorts, with carefully prepared logs, will be issued by the club following J meeting in Topeka Thursday night when J. Harry Minor of Kansas City will outline a plan to put Topeka and Shawnee county drives on the map. Minor is coming to Topeka to un fold a plan that has been rgitated by various members of the club for some months. The plan will mean that To peka and Shawnee county will take a. place with the big towns of the coun try in advertising its picturesque drives and good highways. The route book is to be popularized both with local motor car owners and per sons in other counties and states who will find it convenient to drive to To peka or thru Shawnee county. In the book will be a log for a doi.en delightful drives in the coun try. The book will tell the story of just the little evening or Sunday trip which '.lie tired office or shop man nesires. And it will be told in a way that cannot be misunderstood. When th-- man with a car leaves Topeka, he will not depend on passing stran gers to direct him on his way. The route will be laid out before him in the new book. Popular and pictur esque drives for Shawnee county peo ple are to be featuied in the log book. The book will also contain routes to various towns in a radius of seventy five miles of Topeka. Scores of motor car owners do not know the better roads and drives in their home counties. The new book will be for their benefit. Incidental ly the automobile club will take ad vantage of the oportunity to boos it3 membership and edge a little nearer the 1.00(1 mark. .Minor will outline the road map and chart plan in detail. He directed the work in Kansas City and will come lo Topeka this week as the guest of the loca' automobile organization. .Minor will speak Thursday evening in I" Chamber of Commerce.

U is official ly si h led at the ti ea.su ry il e part men t that treasury agents ure watching: all outward hound ships for a refusal on their part to carry goods of firm3 whose nam ps are on the British black list. The first instance forr.cl of Fuch h refusal for any other reason than luck of carjio space, will be reported immediately to President Wilson. The president alone has power to put in effect the reprisals authorized at the last session of congress. At the M;i:e department the opinion was ex pr ssed th;; t The president will order r-'caraiici' papers withheld from the f rst vessel that refuses to carry black -lis'od p-ods.

ILichard Crawford, the' adviser of the British embassy, who has handled all the blacklist cases, also conferred with Secretary Lansing:. It wh'j said at the state department that Great Britain has abandoned her assumed right to force American ships or neutral srjips to unload blacklisted ;.;oods from vessels bound for the Philippine Islands. She also aban doned the assumed right to refuse coal and supplies at ports for vessels car rying blacklisted goods to the Philippines. ACCEPT OR DROP IT No .More Wrangling to Be Tolerated Over Mexican Border Conference. Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 21. A tinul plan of border patrol and with drawal of the American punitive force now in Mexico, backed by President Wilson's approval, was to be presented to the Mexican members of the American-Mexican commission today, with the statement that the administration at Washington expects it to be accept ed without further wrangling: Th? plans are contingent upon several con cessions by General t'arranza, which have not yet been made public. It is understood President Wilson expects to put" into operation plans of his own regarding bandit operation in Mexico unless the suggestions of the American commission are adopted. SEND GOLD TO JAPAN Two Millions Amount of Surplus nt Imports Over Exports. New York, Nov. 21.- Two million dollars in gold coin has been trans ferred to San i Francisco by the local sub-treasury. This brings the total to $4,500,000 in gold to be shipped tr Japan. This movement toward the Orient is another of the many evidences of abnormality in world trade caused by the war. The gold being sent by the Yo'.ohama specie bank represents the surplus of our imports over our exports to Japan. "Before the war this country ob tained silks and other products from Spain, Italy and France," an official of the Yokohama bank explained to day. "We bought some silks in Ja pan, but now we are buying nearly all f it there. As a consequence, tre balance of trade is markedly in th-ir favor and we ship gold to correct the difference in exchange." AT 35 CENTS A POUND Turkeys Vp as festive Day Drawn ear May Extend N. Y. Food Probe. New York, Nov. 21. The Wicks legislative committee which has been investigating milk conditions thruout the state and which resumed its hear ings here today, is expected to extend its inquiry to include poultry, egs, butter and other farm products. The hearing may last two weehys or more. Amonar expedients suggested today to bring, down the cost of living are a direct market between the farmer and retailer the Australian system of state and municipal regulation of food commodities and the use of New York's subway system as a food car rier. Advances in prices of turkeys, but ter and eggs were announced today. In butter and eggs the increase was slight and chiefly felt in the wholesala market. Turkeys, however, showed an advance of 3 cents a pound, bring ing the average retail price cents. BUSINESS CHANCES. FOR SALE Nice up-to-date bakery, cor ner Oth and Lake ats.

There are two Demo cratic lawyers, one of whom was run ning for county attorney. The Re publicans of the county wanted Mr. Washington, sr., to run on his party ticket.

He mentioned that his son, Herschel, who has helped in the law office for several summers, won a case this summer involving $150. I There was no time to have the name of Washington, jr., printed on tne Dal lot. His Republican friends wrote it in and he won in the primary receiv ing sixty votes. Expects a Contest. The county clerk, believing it un constitutional, refused to put his name on the ballot. His friends appealed to the attorney general who ruled that Washington's name should be on the ballot as the duly nominated Republi can candidate. And he won by a ma jority of fifteen votes. "I think it will be contested," said Washington. "I am only 19, going on 20, and the folks think I am too young. I will have to withdraw from school the second semester if no con test is made of the election." Washington, jr., was the speaker of the day at the dedication of the new Wichita county courthouse September 7. In his remarks he told the people of the county that they were not pro viding adequate school facilities for their children. Before this day he and his nomination had not been taken very seriously. But that speech made the folks of the county take notice. Washington refused to leave school this fall to campaign but he did write a personal letter to every voter in th county. And now he is county attor ney. EDITORS MEET AT PRATT. Visit Lamed and Hear Speeches at Hotel View Hatchery. Pratt. Kan., Nov. 21.

Mitchell, John M. Padgett, W: T. Brown and W. R. Kercher. Don Thompson Talked. Don Thompson talked for half an hour and then answered questions fired at him for an hour. He told of the life in the trenches where the French and Germans are within talk ing distance and do talk when officers are not present. He stated that sol diers in first line trenches never leave unless they are wounded or dead or driven' back. There is a feeling existing that the English have not done their share in the -world's war, Thompson declared, altho recently they have apparently taken a more active part. He ex pressed belief that the allies could win if they wished to pay the price. France, Thompson stated, was buying ammunition for 1920 and some con tracts for 1925. He lauded Capt. Phil Billard's flying abilities again. His latest war pictures were turned over to the Press club to be shown in To peka, the proceeds going to the Topeka Provident association. His talk was interesting and fasci nating and held the close attention ot the club. Couldn't "Heckle" McDermott. George McDermott wanted to be "heckled" and It started out that way. But his talk grew so interesting and he knew so much more about his sub ject, gas, that the "hecklers" forgot their parts. His speech was one of the best ever delivered before the Press club. Never will there be sufficient gas, McDermott declared, until the wealthy home owner quits burning gas in his furnace and permits it to go to the outskirts, where the small home own er and renter lives. That condition of affairs will never be reached until the basic principle of gas rate making is changed. He proposed that the big user of gas be charged more for the gas used instead of the small con sumer. "Why shouldn't the rich man who uses thousands of feet of gas and keeps an adequate supply from the poor man be made to pay more rather than less for his gas?" asked McDer mott. Deplores Cheap Polities. McDermott deplored the attempts of politicians to advertise themselves by jumping on the gas company.

At Any Dram Star City Physicians Explain Why They Prescribe Nuxated Iron To Make Beautiful, Healthy Women And Strong, Vigorous Men NOW BEING USED BY OVER FIVE MILLION PEOPLE DAILY Quickly transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid cheeks of weak, anaemic men and women into a per fect glow of health and beauty Often Increases the strength of delicate, nervous, run-down folks 200 per cent In two weeks' time. New York, N. Y. It is conservatively estimated that over five million people daily in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of well known physiciaus in various parts of tbe country have been asked to explain why tbey prescribe it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much bet ter results tban were obtained from the old forms of inorganic iron. Extracts from some of the letters re ceived are given below: Dr. King a New York phy sician and au tfaor says, "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means de ficiency. The skin of anaemic men aud wo men is pale. The flesh flabby, the miw.-lpu 1 H k tone, tbe brain fags and the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, can dies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, de serin in ted corn- meal, no longer is iron to oe lourm. iv finfnir processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery. hy throwing aown me waste-pipe iup water in which our vegetables are cooked is responsible for another grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim -and vigor to a riie age, you must sunnlv the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use suit when yonr rood nas not enougn sail. Dr. Sauer a Boston physi cian who has studied both in this country and in great European Medi cal Institutions says; "As I hare said a hundred times over organic iron is tbe greatest of all strength build ers. If people would only throw away patent medi cines and naus eous c o n o tions and take simple Nuxated Iron. I am con vinced that the Ag. King, MJXjfjj fy iiar '"i"rariiri0 1 1 I VVr K. Sauer. M.

Not long ago a man came to me wbo was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examina tion for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with a blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man be really was notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron nuxated iron bad filled him with re newed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 4G be was careworn and nearly all in now at 50, a miracle of vitality and bis face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue- Without it, no matter how much or what vou eat, your food merely passes through yon without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and aicklv-Iooklng, just like a plant try ing to grow in a soil deficient in. iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make tbe fol lowing test: See bow long you can work or bow far you can w a Ik without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tab lets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much yon have gained.

But don't take tbe old forms of reduced iron, iron ac-Mate. or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. Tbe iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in tbe blood of her children is, alas not that kind of iron. Yon must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it msy prove worse than useless.
