Along in October of i6ii, Governor Rradford of the then new colony of j Massachusetts, and the settlers of the', colony, discovered to their intense sur- prc that they were in l"le ger of starving to death during tne coming winter. The first bumper corn crop of the 1'nited States had been laid bv. There was lots of tobacco to be shipped back to Kngland. The! woods were full of berries and bears, I fruits and game. and things looked as tho a large percentage of the se settlers would survive the winter. In fai t, the prospects were so rosy that one of the prominent men of the rolonv wrote to a' friend in England that "If .iave once but kino h. una shcn. 1 make no uuestion but men might live as contented here as in any part of the world.' The usual method of celebrating any such state of affairs was to pro- claim a last day, hut Governor Brad- ford was nothing if not original, w herefore four hunU'is were sent out i to bring in what game they might, j anil a real feast was planned to talic Jdace in November. f uotuuii j.r.a personally conuucieu turkt v sii.iuts: cranht rry sauce and celery: i- yciUs i.n trkv-ys and eggs: food iur, u la tor- and champagne; mut.ni'e., and motor rides, all of them reaMon-iidy typical ot' the Thanksgiv- ing reason of lod.iy, were totally ab- i;tnt from the celebration In 1621. In j fart, they wore far from the mind of thf- governor when he iesued the first Thanks v.ny proclamation. The Custom lias Stood. Hut the custom stood,, as men be came mre and more "content to live in America." P'or many yeaus it was chiefly confined to the New Kngland states. In 1858 only 2b states parti cipated in the holiday thru the pro clamations of their povernors.

Wilson Prefers Last Method. That the president and his cabinet will strongly favor the last sugges tions, senators and representatives say, is a foregone conclusion. The president has discussed the high cost of living frequently with his cabinet advisers and he is taking deep interest in the work of the postoffice, commerce and agriculture depart ments along this line.

IT'S PLAIN HOLDUP Food Barpns "Hold Pistol to Heads" of Consumers. Australian Official Blames Lack of Government Control. DESCRIBES AUSTRALIA METHOD Government Announces Prices Every Monday Morning. Solution Lies in Law Against Selling Storage Products. New York. Nov. 30. Patrick E. Quinn. government commissioner for New South Wales, explained the Aus tralian system of food control and recommends its adoption by the United States. The plea of the Housewives' league and the remedial system outlined by Quinn dovetail with Governor Whit man's move for the regulation of New York's food supply by a state food commission. Both Quinn and Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the House wives' league, praised Governor Whit man's action. "With speculators holding a gun to the heads of the American people, your situation seems to demand dras tic measures," said Quinn, telling why he thought the United States should establish government control of food prices. "The storing of eggs, butter, meat, poultry and like foodstuffs to boost prices is only less criminal than the destruction of food to keep the mar ket up, such as I have seen in San Francisco. Food Destroyed to Keep I'p Prices. "I don't want to appear nosey about the affairs of a country whose guest I am, but when I see high prices in the United States, where there is no regu lation, and compare it with the rea sonable prices and legitimate profits obtaining in my home country of New South Wales, where food prices are controlled by the government, it is a strong temptation to say 'go thou and. do likewise.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1916 WOULD DROP DEAD That's What England Would Do If She Could See Herself. British Ignorance Cause of the War, Says Bernard Shaw. NATION TOO SELF-CENTERED It Knows of No Interests Out side of Its Own. Attitudinizing Habit That Is Foreign to the Empire. As Shaw Sees Knslaml. "What is the first thin,' the Brit ish puhlic would demand if it tooK a sensible attitude? "It would drop down dead, slain by the novelty of the sensation. "If any civilized nation today were to become modest enoueh to pee itself s it really is, it would utter a shriek of horror and run violently down a steep place into the sea." George tfernard Shaw. From London today, thru an ex- j elusive news source, the State Jour nal has received the following in- j terview by Dr. Charles JSareola with George IJernard Shaw. Doctor Sareola is one of the most i distinguished of living Belgian scholars. He is a graduate of the i University of Liege and in 1894 be came head of the French depart- ment of Kdinburgh university. As Helgium consul in Kdinburgh, as editor of the popular weekly Every man and as the author of a number of notable works he hns achieved international fame. A biography of TolHtoi and a study of the Anglo German problem, remarkable for its prophecies, which came true in the present war. are among his most Important works. Recently Doctor Hareola toured the United States and Canada, lecturing in behalf of the Belgian refugee, and as special representative of King Albert. by im. cn.nr.i:s sareola. (Copyright 1916.) The first of a series of character istic statements I obtained from George Bernard Shaw in a recent In terview was In reply to this question: "What do you think of the present attitude of the British public towards the foreigner and his government?" "The British public," said the noted author, "is not really conscious of any other public or any other in terests. To it the universe consists of a great central fact called, accord ing to its size, Peckham, England, or the British empire. "it's atmosphere contains blacks, who ought to be treated well when they behave themselves; Huns, who ought to be exterminated; and allies, who provide us with useful auxiliary troops, and ought to be protected and encouraged within proper limits. Atti tudinizing is a foreign habit, like eat ing squabs and snails. War Due to Ignorance. "If the British public took a sensi ble attitude what do you think would be the first thing it would demand?" I asked of Mr. Shaw. "It would drop down dead," he re torted laconically, "slain by the novel ty of the sensation."

"Yes," said he, "this war is due to our insular ignorance of the terrifying dangerousnesa of the military imagina tion of the situation of Germany, with France on one frontier and Russia on the other. "We should have done either of two things: Guaranteed Germany against an attack from the west in the event of an attack by Russia on the central empire, or declared that if Germany attacked France ehe would have to fight us, too. "If we had done the first, the war would have been confined to the east ern half of Europe. "If we had done the second, there would probably have been no war at all. We did neither and the result has been armageddon. Itritisli Too Indifferent. "We simply did not take any inter osn in the situation of Germany or any other continental power. We were satisfied that as we felt ail right they must feel all right if they were reason able people. And we have not yet re covered from our scandalized surprise at Germany losing her head and mak ing a desperate attempt to break by force the ring that encircled her. 'All that is the result of pure ignor ance of foreign affairs, and, of course, reckless indifference to them." COFFEE MEN HERE Motor Car Advertising Campaign of Java Salesman.

The men will remain here until some time next week. IT'S PLAIN HOLDUP (Continued From Page One.) ter, the housewife knows she will pay 36 cents and no more without ample warning. In the United States the housewife reads a quotation of 41 cents for butter and prays all the way down town next morning that it won't have jumped a nickel a pound over night. "Thanks to our control system, housewives in Sydney and other large cities pay about 25 cents a dozen for the best eggs. Can you imagine that for fresh eggs here? No; but there is no legitimate reason why it should not be. "Your American egg barons would like to hit me with some of their stor age goods for saying it, no doubt, but the reason eggs are not 25 cents here is that the speculators are holding a pistol to the consumers head. Plenty of Food In IT. S. '"At home we provide a reasonable profit for the producer, one for the wholesaler and one for the retailer and yet sell many articles of food at half and less than half that you pay here. "The solution of your storage specu lation problem seems to me simple. Legislation prohibiting the sale of cold storage products altogether is the so lution. "There Is plenty Of food of all kinds in the United States. The speculators have got dealers and consumers by the throat. They have raised the false cry of 'heavy exports on account of the war' and then have boosted prices on that artificial theory. This is a situ ation that could not exist in New South Wales. "In Australia we believe that a gov ernment which cannot control prices for the benefit of the people is not living up to Its obligations as a democ racy. Two-Pound Ivoaf for 7 Cents. "Can you imagine a two-pound loaf of bread selling in the United States for 7 cents? I think not. Yet that is what the Australian state bakeries do. "Take a spool of common thread. In Australia the housewives get 3.000 yards for a nickel. The American housewive gets 1,000. This is all the more remarkable when you consider that all our cotton must be shipped from England or America, as we grow none. "Of course, many of our dealers chafe under the fair price system, just as they would in the United States, out that does not slop the regulation. Here, It seems to me, they are per muted to Decioua me issue.

He was connected with the Santa Fe some years ago. RUSH OF BLOOD Xew Theory for Fatal Fall of Frank M. Brady. Ed Summers, editor of the Norton Tele gram, believes that a sudden rush of blood to Frank M. Brady's head while the assist ant district attorney was standing in his room in the Throop hotel Monday night, caused him to lose his balance and acci dentally plunge to his death from the fourth floor of the hotel. Summers today stated that Brady was subject to sudden rushes of blood to his head. "The natural thing to presume," said Summers, who was a elose friend of the lawyer, "is that he felt himself suddenly overcome and rushed to the window to get air but was too weak to keep his balance and found death where he expected to find relief. We who knew Brady have known for years that he was troubled with a sudden rush of blood to his head." DEATHS AND FUNERALS MRS. PERRY OAHN, age tfl. Renville, died Wednesday at a local hospital.

"Usually the crop is divided about 50-50 between Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays.

The Ichabods, while far from con fident of victory, were determined to put forth their best effort of the sea son and were primed for a hard fight. The possibility of victory was still within their ken when they left town and they were conceding nothing to their highly touted enemy. It was expected that Heller would be used at an end position later on in the game if he did not start and Mc Cosh was reserved for the backfield. Trull also was on the reserve list with a chance of getting in the game. The special train that took the team and rooters to Manhattan will return tonight immediately after the game.

Foot ball In the southwest reached its zen ith today after its annual autumnal ascendancy. And with the blasting of final whistles in countless cheer rocked stadiums, the king of collegi ate sports was relegated to live only in memory of mythical elevens and deeds of individual prowess until an other school year brought forth nw teams and ciean records. Jayhawk and Tiger held chief inter est in their annual clash, which this year is held at Lawrence. A victory today was regarded by Kansas as clinching the Missouri valley title. An other fine battle was the meeting of Notre Dame and Nebraska at Lincoln.

Announce ment of new service on the Anthony Northern railway, with headquarters in this city, was made today. Several Changes will go into effect in a short time, which the officials of the road I believe will greatly improve the facili ties. 1 Three light motor cars are now i nearly completed, and will be put into service, two between Pratt and Kins- ley, and one between Lamed and Kinsley. Each car will make two trips a day, and will perform inter urban service, picking up passengers at cross roads. i The Wells Fargo compauy has taken over the expresp business of the com pany, and is planning to start gaso line motor cars to handle the express business shortly. The addition of the motor cars is a result of the success of one recently installed on the line by Superintendent C. F. Jetts, w-hich has proven a suc cess financially and given quick and efficient passenger service. New roundhouses at Pratt and Lamed are now being constructed.

A severe cold snap in this vicinity would leave Salina in a bad way for a coal supply, local coal dealers say. The car short age which has affected the entire Uni ted States in the past three months has had a very bad effect on the coal sup ply and coal prices. Coal prices have gone out of sight recently with west ern coal twice its normal price and eastern coal three times its average price. The ..cause of the prevailing high prices is the car" shortage and labor trouble at the mines. The railroads which usually go into the winter months with many thousands of tons stored, have practically none this vear j and the same is true of the large coal companies.' This leaves the ultimate consumer a small chance if coal be I badry needed. Reports from the Lin coln branch show that there are fif teen towns between Salina and Hoxie that are without any coal at all. VETERAN" JUDGE TO RETIRE. 5ea r l C. A.

Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 30. Without the vestige of an alibi in sight and coaches and players alike oozing con fidence, the football machines of Mis souri and Kansas were marking time today until the battle call in the form of an official's whistle would call them into the annual clash between the two schools, looked upon as the football classic of the Missouri valley. The teams, on records and individual performances, appear to be as evenly matched as the most ardent sports man could desire. Trainers have de clared the condition of their teams to be excellent. The clash today is the twenty-sixth meeting of the two schools. Lawrence today was thronged with lovers of the gridiron sport and offi cials handling the crowd asserted their belief that attendance records would be broken. And with undergraduates risking their next semester's board on their favorites, it was intimated that allowances of the losers contingent would be sadly bent. INTER-LEAGUE SERIES International and American Associa tion Clubs Muy Play 48 Gaines. New York, Nov. 30. President Ed ward Barrow of the International league, has announced that he will ad vise his club owners to play only a 112-game league season next year and a post-season se.-ies of 4 8 games with the American association. Barrow said he already has talked the situation over with the American association men and they are enthusiastic over such a series. Barrow will recommend to his club owners that they open the season April 16 and close it August 5. In a 4 8-game post-season series, each In ternational league team would play three games in each American asso ciation city, and vice versa. If practicable. Barrow sa;d. the win ner of this post-reason series would play the champion team of the Pacific Coast leaerue for the championship of the National association. Farrow will put his suggestion before his club owners at their annual meeting here December 11.

Santa Claus him elf will be here The very same old, jolly old, rosy old Saint that there are so many good stories about. Wherever could he have been for the long, long year since last Christmas was here Why, you can see for yourself that he ha3 been in his workshop, far and far away, busy and busy, making the new toys for you little girls and boys. And did he see any other little girls and boys while he was so far away? Oh! hundreds and thousands and more than that, but none that he loved so well as you little girls and boys and that is why he i3 back to you. And did he make any toys for the other little girls and boys will they have toys for Christmas?' Oh! surely they will, all over the world but none so many as you. Oh, Santa Claus knows, and the little girls know, and the little boys, too, that there's not another city in the wide, wide world where the Christmas is so line as it is here: and not another store if you go ever so far, where the toys are so good and so many. And Santa Claus asks that you come in and see him and see the toys, and then tel your parents what you want for your Christmas.

"Mayor House's habit of shattering time-honored customs culminated in his refusal to issue a Thanksgiving day proclamation, giving as his justi fication that every man, woman, boy and girl in Topeka knew that today is Thanksgiving day. Perhaps Mayor House is right in this conjecture. The idea suggests v itself that the ma,yor may be influenced by the cost of paper or maybe he is averse to writing something that nobody reads. There is always a .little something to be thankful for. It does not cost any more to listen to a hen cackle than it used to, nor has there been any perceptible change in the market quotations on prairie chickens. Surely the millennium is on the way. A New York police officer advises the, Chicago police force that the Tunction of the police is to serve the public, not to bully it. Consolation for those with empty purges is offered by the dean of Yale's divinity school with the suggestions that being without money makes peo ple cut out expensive wickedness, starts a man looking for a job and has an infallible power for pointing out real friends. And there can be no doubt about the truth of the latter ob servation and that the empty purse generally shows leal friends to be scarcer than hens' teeth. Witnesses before the state utilities commission testified that the country faces a short coal output. It was also shown that the bulk of the supply had been sold to the railroads and steel manufacturers in advance. The con tracts were made at midsummer prices. The inadequate supply which remains is to be sold to the consumer at war prices when the railroads fur nish cars with which to deliver the short supply. Only one more month, Mr. Tax payer, for you to make known to your legislator the needs of your commun ity and yourself that he might incor porate them into his hopper for the 1917 session in Topeka. All the blame should not be thrown on the so-called "food speculator." The public, always hungry for the best, should not be left out of the deal That prices are regulated by s"upply and demand was illustrated in Pitts burg this week, when the citizens re fused to buy turkeys until they reached a figure that was satisfactory, j unere are too many substitutes to per mit of anybody's holding up the public in any one article of food. General Pershing's efforts to find Villa last summer were unavailing, but now that the bandit chief has beei located, there is no apparent reason for not going after him. The present address is said to be Chihuahua. This is the day that Hughes will be thankful that he hasn't the worries of the nation on hand and Wilson will be thankful that he has. Thanksgiving day in Topeka has presented a foretaste of the millen nium. Thru the efforts of the Con fidential Exchange, not one person in Topeka went hungry; the first time such a condition has prevailed locally Ik the, last ten years. Another decidedly interesting fea ture of the recent presidential cam paign and election is that while the votes which re-elected Mr. Wilson were cast in the western section of the country the bulk of the $2,000,000 Democratic campaign fund was con tributed by Democratic patriots in the eastern sections of the country. Nor was there -"oh a large portion of this Democratic campaign fund used in the western states that went for Mr. Wil son and decided the election in his favor. Most of this money was spent irt what were supposed to be "pivotal" states. So" the Democratic campaign fund, large as it was, didn't cut much of a figure in determining the results nf the election Giving Thanks Together. (By Catherine Crammer.) "It's a shame not to share this good dinner with some one," said Lydia, who had loved to cook from the days when she baked mud pies in the sun until the nights when she made fudge in a chafing dish. It was partly be cause of her taste for cooking and partly because of her distaste for boarding house life that she gladly availed herself of a suite in the first one-tenant apartment house erected in her city. Her living room with its tiny fireplace was flanked on one ena by a bathroom and a bed closet, anl on the other by a complete and com pact kitchenette. On Thanksgiving day Lydia flitted from room to room singing gay snatches of song. Her trim little fig ure was lost in the looseness of a long sleeved white apron with which her former landlady had endowed her when she set out on this housekeep ing venture. Her auburn hair was soft about her flushed face and her blue eyes were bright with enthusiasm as she concocted tempting dishes for her Thanksgiving dinner. The plump chicken browning in the tiny oven was small, and the quiver ing mold of cranberry jelly just turn ed out was small, yet there was much more of each than Lydia alone could eat. healthy and hungry as she was. This thought came to her as she was arranging pieces t f toast for aspara gus and with the thought came a hos pitable longing to share her good din ner with some one else, who was healthy and hungry. The girls who were her co-workers in the public li brary either had homes in the city or had gone to their homes outside the city for the Thanksgiving holiday, and besides them she had made few acquaintances in the city, so she could think of no one to invite. She reflected that there must be manv lonely people in that city who would gladly share with her the dainty meal that was now almost ready to serve. Then she thought of the young man who lived alone in the suite across the hall from hers and of whom she had caught occasional glimpses thru his open door as he bent spec tacled eyes low over a drawing board. She found herself wondering, as she had several times before wondered, whether her studious neighbor was an artist. She thought he looked too bus inesslike and practical for that. Lydia smiled and blushed as she re called the episode the evening before when her spilled cranberries had crunched under the good-sized feet of this young man, who had come strid ing from his apartment while she was stooping in the narrow corridor to re place the scattered berries in the pa per bag that had turned turtle when she inserted her latchkey. There had been stammered apologies from both, and altho the young man had helped to recover the berries, he had re-entered his apartment so abruptly that Lydia was puzzled to know whether he was displeased or embar rassed by the incident. Just when Lydia's chicken reached tho right decree of brownness the young man in the suite across the hall completed the inking of the last lines, in the plans he was to enter in the prize competition for a design for a new public building. His deep sigh of satisfied relief at the finished task was followed almost immediately by the thought that he was very hungry. He, too, had a fancy for cooking and had taken the apartment that he might have, in addition to uninter rupted opportunity for study, the privilege of preparing coffee and eggs just to suit his breakfast taste. A cold, drizzling rain made the out doors so uninviting that the young man decided to have a broiled bacon sandwich and coffee and cheese at home instead of going out for a lone dinner in a cafe. He opened the door of the ice-box and shut it with a slam, for he found that he had no cream, and he liked a lot of cream in his cof fee. Now a lonely man or a hungry man will frequently go far from con ventionality. John Parker was both lonely and hungry, his supply of cream was exhausted and the grocery stores were closed for the holidays. Besides, rain was pouring outside and the girl across the hall let tantalizing odors escape her doorway. Suddenly he determined to ask her for cream to go in his coffee. As he went swinging thru his door way he almost collided with Lydia, who stood Just outside blushingly of fering him a tray containing a gener ous share of her good dinner. "Bread cast upon the waters," she said, smilingly, "and the cranberries you cast back into the bag have re turned to you. I just couldn't bear not to share my Thanksgiving dinner with some one," there was a trembling catch in her voice. "And you seemed Be TIme Tales BY CLARA MGKAM JTU1US0N TOPPY ADVISES WITH As soon as Toppy reached his home, he sat himself down to think what he could do for poor penned-up Mr. Turkey. And Just because he didn't happen to think of something, right straight off, that would help Mr. Turkey, he gave up. Wasn't that silly of him? And then he made the same mistake that Mr. Turkey had made. He tried to get somebody to help him do the thing he might have done alone. "What's the use of my sitting here all alone trying to think up some thing?" he asked himself. "I'll get someone to help me think let's see. Foxy Squirrel is a good fellow at plan ning. I'll go ask him what Mr. Tur key had better do." And away he went to find Foxy; ipity, ipity, op; ipity, ipity, op, thru Shadow Wood. "Hello, Foxy," he called when he spied Foxy at the tip, tip, top of a big hickory tree. "Come down! I want to talk to you." Foxy knew from the way Toppy spoke that something interesting was a-foot and he raced down that tree, scrambly, quick, you may be sure. He listened carefully while Toppy told him about poor Mr. Turkey; how the farmer had caught him and shut him up in a tiny yard before killing him, and how Mr. Turkey was sure his friends would get him out. So closely did Foxy listen that he didn't move a muscle only the wiggle of his soft little nose showed how eager he was to hear the whole story and to be in the fun if there was to be any. "And isn't he trying to get himself out?" asked Foxy when Toppy had ended his story by saying that he was afraid the farmyard creatures had for gotten all about Mr. Turkey. "No. he thinks they will," replied The affairs of Thanksgivln Iay are limit ed chiefly to family dinner parties. Among those who are entertnining today are Mr. and Mrs. V. W.

"You are unspeakably kind," said the young man, as he took the tray. "And a wonderful cook besides," in haling the odor of the tempting food. "I was coming over to ask you for some cream on the chance that you'd be neighborly, but I didn't dream of such neighborliness as this." Lydia caught the yearning glance in his eyes as he looked thru her open doorway at the daintily set table, and as she returned to that table there were tears of gratitude in her own j eyes at the thought of having at least j shared some of her thanksgiving with i another. As for the young man across the hall, he did some hard thinking as he ate his lonely dinner. The drift of his thinking was discernible afterward in his muttered remarks as he stood with his hands in his pockets and stared out thru the rain-rippled win dow at the reflection of the lights in the shiny wet street below. "The way to a man's heart may be thru his stomach," he said. "I'm not so sure of that; but the way to cure a taste for lone living is to try it when you have a neighbor as charming as mine. I'm thankful I tried it, but I'm quite convinced of its folly. And now to convince my neighbor!" And subsequently he succeeded in convincing her.

He listened carefnlly while Toppy told him about poor Mr. Turkey. Foxy had his answer ready just that quickly. "I'd advise him to gnaw the rope thru and get away," he said, with a twinkle in his eye that Toppy failed to see. Toppy stared. Why, of course, that was the thing to do! Why hadn't he thought of it himself? But it was too late now. At least he could have the fun of telling Mr. Turkey. So without even waiting to say thank you to Foxy, he started ipity, ipity, op, back to the farmyard to tell Mr. Turkey the good advice. (Copyright Clara Ingram Judson.)

HE'S AjiOOK, TOO Leader of Hungarian Orchestra Carries Kitchen in Suitcase. Sam Shildkret Giyes Tea Party at Room in Hotel. Tea, Hungarian style, with import ed jelly mixed in, preceded by fillets d'anchois a l'huile, accompanied by imported European cheese, and other delicacies, and followed by music, classical and popular, including the flute cadenza from "William Tell," was the lot of a reporter who visited Samuel Schildkret, leader of the Hun garian orchestra which played at the Auditorium Wednesday night, at his hotel room Wednesday afternoon. The tea was made with a tiny porta ble cooking outfit which, with the sup plies, was carried in an ordinary suit case, and some of the music vas made on a flute made especially for "Sam." Early in the visit, "All my friends call me 'Sam,' and I have the best friends in the world," said the musician, and "Sam" he was. An High teen-Course Dinner. "I can cook an eighteen -course din ner here in my room, with my uni form on, and not get the room or the uniform dirty," said Sam, and rather deprecated the fact that the time of day prevented his serving puch a ban quet. He is a foe of restaurants and cafes, and his one extra suit case con tains a marvelously compact and effi cient outfit. An alcohol stove, a few dishes, a thermos bottle and a tiny ice chest, all are brought into play, and meal? are served after the fashion of Hungary on short notice. "Sam" likes good eating, and prefers to concoct his refreshments himself. Wherefore the traveling culinary es tablishment. And he imports eats from across the pond for his own use. with the utmost savoir faire. The stove cooks the Hungarian's favorite dishes, and the ice box and thermos bottle keep the supplies in good shape. Rye bread from Milwaukee, the real stuff, was a part of the feast. An chovies and jelly from France, sau sage from some other European coun try, cheese from Switzerland and from Spain, comprise the fundamentals of a menu at orrce unique and emphatical ly appealing. Then Flute Music. After the tea, Sam played his flute, his piccolo, and his Hungarian flute. on which he makes music which is played in the woods of southeastern Europe by the Hungarian and Ruman ian shepherds, after they have round ea up their flocks for the night. Sam's uniform hung on a chair in the room, decorated with two medals. One was from the members of his orchestra, the other from hz friends in Lake City, Mich., where he has played many, many return engage ments. Medals Galore. "Too, I have medals, one from Kaiser Franz Josef, and from four, five other kings. But they are put away. While the kings kill so many people with their fool wars. I am mad on them, and 1 wear not their medals," he explained. He was at one time a member of the court orchestra of Austria-Hungary. But he is mad on the kings. Whether his music or his cookery is the nearer to Sam's heart is hard to say. He seems to take an equal pride in both, and his cooking outfit is as well cared for as is his beloved flute.

Even the "uppers'" of the school shoes which the Provident association provided some fifty poor children last September are wearing out and an S. O. S. is being sent out for children's shoes of all ages and conditions. Coal stoves are the next need of the association, now that natural gas has disgracefully retired the chief cook ing medium of the c ,,m. ''Practically all of our poor fairvlia had gas stoves of one sort or anotner," Mrs. Calihan. assistant secretary of the association, explains, "but since gas costs 50 cents and there is often not enough to cook with even at that price, coal stoves are getting to be a pressing need of the Topeka poor. And the smaller the stove, the better for the poor families.

A Total of 894 Persons Provid ed With Necessities. CHARITY MATCHES SUFFERING Miss Mabel Adams Endears Herself to Topeka's Needy. She Has ported Untiringlr In Their Interest. For th Erst time in the memory of the oldest charity worker, every poor family In Topeka whose needs were actual and pressing, was taken care of today. The records of the Con fidential Exchange, the medium and director of practically all of the Thanksgiving giving In Topeka show that 89 persons were provided with a real Thanksgiving dinner. Two hun dred and seven families were taught that charity is something beside a word. For once in Topeka charity has matched suffering and on the files of the exchange remain only 11 cases reported, that have not been taken care of. Analysis of these cases show ed that the absence of a Thanksgiving basket would not mean an empty board this noon, and their needs were passed over in favor of those' In more immediate distress. As usual "eleventh hour charity" exceeded all the donations of two weeks ahead. Miss Adams, secretary of the Exchange, assisted by a score of friends has worked night and day this week, with hardly time oft for meals. This morning at the exchange twenty-five baskets remained and by 11 o'clock everything had been dis tributed. Basket From Xortonville. This? morning at 10 o'clock a big automobile waited at the Santa Fe station for the train from Nortonvllle, which bore a huge basket from the Campfire Girls of Nortonville high school. A big clothes basket, filled with chickens, potatoes, apples, fruit ana vegetables, was whisked away to a little home on the East side. Five ex pectant children filled the doorway of the little house and when the machine came in sight they let loose a salvo of cheers. And the mother. Just recover ed from typhoid fever, and tired and worn from the support of her brood, wept unashamedly. The basket helped remove the sorrow of the absence of the father, recently removed to the tuberculosis sanitarium. Miss Adams at the Exchange is a tired but happy young woman. Happy over the unprecedented richness of Topeka'e chanty, and tired over the work of connecting nearly one thou sand persons with Topeka givers. Last year her Thanksgiving dinner was spoiled by the knowledge that on the files of the exchange remained the names of 146 families to whom the holiday would be a mockery. Fewer than one hundred families, composed of some 400 persons, were helped last year. This year more than 200 persons loosened heart strings and purse strings. The donations ranged in cash all the way from the 10 pen nies in the bank of a little 5-year-old philanthropist to a S15 check from one of Topeka's least known and largest givers. And the food donations ranged all the way from the donation by an Oakland widow of a glass of jelly to that of the Elks, who gave 25 baskets and distributed them. Last year one shiftless family re ceived two turkeys, two chickens, a duck and some beef and pork from five different organizations, each of whose gifts, were unknown to the others. The family lived in idleness until Christmas. But one duplication of charity was found this year, and the case was eo worthy that it was allowed to stand. One of the letters received by the exchange reported an extreme need and besought a big basket. A mem ber of a Sunday school was given the case to look up. She arrived at a pleasant little house with lace cur tains in the window. She knocked and was admitted into a well fur nished parlor. Thru the door into the dining room she espied five luscious pies. The mother, describe! as in ex treme need, sat comfortably rocking a baby, while a negro maid put the house to rights. She Wanted Turkey. "Why, you won't go hungry," the indignant Samaritan told her. "Look at those pies." "Well," confessed the would-be re cipient, "We thought we'd like to have a little something extra, maybe tur key." That was the nearest that graft, al ways present when charity is doing business, marred Topeka giving this year. "I want to thank the individuals and organizations, who have made the day one of Thanksgiving for every- i oouy, Miss Adams said todny. "The j Provident association and the Salva tion Army were lavish of advice and i assistance. With everybody fed we believe that modern charity methods are vindicated in Topeka." No mention of the individual giv- j ers is made by the Exchange as the bxonange believes that individual giv ers prefer to remain unknown. Many responses came from out of town. Miss W. W. Wiggin of Otega, and Mr. and Mrs. W. F, Miller of Oneida, were among those whose checks counted in the total cash subscription of $100. The value of the food given was many times that of the money contributions. The organizations which gave are: The Ladies' Aid cf the V. P. church (seven families; the Central Park church C. E. society: the Harbaugh Grocery company: the Volunteer class of the Euclid M. E. crurch: Mr. Smith's class of the Euclid M. E. church: Knights and Ladies of Se curity: Lowman M. E. church Epworth League; Moose lodge, money for ten families: fifth grade of Potwin school; the Alpha Assisi club. colored, six families: City Federation of Colored clubs, three fam'lies; MrS. Rutledge's class of the First Fresbyterian church; North Topeka M. E. church, five fam ilies: Walnut Grove M. E. church: Good Fellows: Bethany kindergarten. Of the 207 families helped, 133 fam ilies composed of 706 individuals were white. Fifty families, of 172 persons, and three Mexican families, totalling sixteen persons, were given help. The first contributions to the Ex change were set aside for families In which there was sickness. Those cared for. the next baskets received went to lonely old people. Next in order of distribution ram! the large families of small children. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS Just Cash.
