The fund will be loan- rl to Kansas farmers who will repay the council if they produce a crop. Members of the council spent the entire day in session in the office of Governor Capper.

Nearly every county in the state is now directly interested in the fight for larger crops in this state, altho few counties have perfect ed a township organization. Seed Merchant Co-oerutes. H. Hayes, a North Topeka seed merchant, will provide a loan of 1,000 bushels of seed to be paid for by pur chasers should a crop be raised. Many of the other members of the council will provide cash subscriptions. Em erson Carey :f Hutchinson, former state senator, headed the subscription list when he produced his personal check for $1,000. Kfforts will not be made at this i titne to extend the subscription cam-; paign beyond the list of men and wo l.ien known to be financially able to support the fight for larger crops.- -It-is probable, however, that the cam paign for subscriptions may later be made statewide. The council will meet in Vipeka fiain May 8. In the meantime an ef fort will be made to perfect an active organization in every county in the state. Busy ill Conference.

Army Bill to Tote in Both Houses This Week. Washington, April 26. The United States may have to raise an army of five million men before the war is over. This was the declaration late today by Senator Meyers, Montana, of the military committee during the iifth day of debate on the adminis tration's conscription bill. Meyers favor ins the draft, said he "believes fully this country will send an army over sea, to fight in the trenches." "I'm glad this is to be not merely a war on paper or with our dollars only. Such a War would be un-American," he said. The army bill is threading its way thru debate in both houses today under constant attack from those who oppose selective con scription and .ardently defended by those who support the ad ministration xlan. First prospect of a vote appeared in the house, where u was agreed that general debate should close with adjournment and leave only the summing up speeches by leaders of each side. Tomorrow. Chairman Dent of the military committee, will close the argument for the volunteer amendment and Representative Kahn, ranking Republican of the committee, will close for the administration selec tive conscription plan. Then the bill will be considered by the house under the five minute rule with prospect of a vote, probably Fri day night or Saturday. An agreement to vote upon and finally dispose of the bill not later than Saturday night was reached in the senate. The senate agreed infor mally that, by unanimous consent, 't no member desire to proceed with the army bill, other business may be brought up without objection. Boosts T. K. Army. This "gentlemen's understanding" was reached in order that both houses may dispose of the administration bill permitting the entente to recruit their citizens in this country, which Attor ney General Gregory today asked Sen ator Overman to expedite. Hisses from the galleries greeted Representative Mason. Republican of 7unov., w"en "e assaiiea "esi- dent ilson for falling to accept im- i mewiHieiy oionei nooseveit s oirer to raise a division for service in France. A few members joined in the demon stration. "The man in the White House has not the courage or political sagacity to permit the colonel to enlist for fear he will profit politically." was Jhe sen tence that drew the hisses. Mason vigorously attacked the universal ser vice plan. ROOT GOES T0RUSSIA Accepts Appointment to Lead Ameri can Commission. Washington, April 26.

GIANT ARMIES OF 3 NATIONS IN DEATH GRIP Germans Desperate in Effort to Push Back Allies. Violent Counter Attacks Re pulsed, Reports Haig. THRUST AGAINST FRENCH VAIN Four Powerful Charges Fail to Loosen French Hold. All Reports From Front Tell of Carnage Among Germans. London. April 26. Complete repulse of a violent massed counter-attack by German forces against new British positions around Gavrelle was an nounced in Field Marshal Haig's of ficial statement today. "Early at night the enemy again endeavored to attack our new posi tions at Gavrelle," he said. "His troops were caught in our artillery barrage and completely repulsed." Keckless in Sacrifice of Life, London, April 26. Telegraphing to day from British headquarters in France Reuter's correspondent says: "The Germans are still hurrying up fresh reserves to press their counter attacks. They are fighting a great de laying battle, altho not now stand ing upon any well prepared system of defenses, and can only hope to check our advance by using great masses of troops whose breasts have taken the place of parapets. "This policy must result in greatly accelerating the process of exhaus tion." Numerous Counter Charges- Paris, April 2 6. Two tremendous German attacks made on a front of more than a mile and a half west of Cerny were smashed unavailingly against French lines and repulsed amid heavy losses to the enemy, to day's French official statement de clared. Powerful German counter-attacks at two other places on the French front were likewise repelled. The war office statement indicated that al! along the French front the Germans were making violent at tempts to ?oose the grip of French troops on their new positions. Som bitter fighting was reported front half a dozen different points. "On the shores of the Oise," the statement said, "a. German patrol was easily repulsed." "North of the Aisne several German attempts to eject our troops from he plateau and the Ladies Highway .were unsuccessful. "Two powerful attacks on a front of two kilometers west of Cerny were smashed on the French lines, the Ger mans losing heavily. One other at tempt at Hurtebise farm also failed. "In the Champagne, in the region of Pompelle. in front of Xavaria and Tahure, several German attacks only resulted in our capture of prisoners." U.S. IN FOOD PROBE Chicago Divulges Method Hoard Produce in Cars, to 3,000 Cars of Potatoes on Side track as Price Soared. Chicago, April 2 6. Special agents of the department of justice are said to have discovered evidence of supply manipulation and price fixing by com bination among potato dealers here and it is said the federal grand j ry will investigate reports of the manipu lation of the market. Figures have been obtained by the federal investi gators showing that 1,181 cars were held out of the consuming market during the first two weeks in March. The wholesale price of potatoes yes terday ranged in the Chicago market from $2.75 to $3.15 a bushel with 31, 000 bushels in storage. A years ago there were in storage 1 9,000 bushels and the price was but 85 cents. In vestigation will also be made, it is said, of the holding of 3,000 carloads of potatoes on side tracks near Chi cago for many weeks during the win ter when prices were soaring on ac count of a reported shortage. It was said then that ihese potatoes were frozen, but investigation is SAid to have disproved this. It is indicated i that the potatoes were held there to I keep them off the market and force the price up- Probe at Nation's Capital. Washington, April 26.

Kansas National Guard units may be sent to Fort Riley during the officers' training camp, according to reports to day in military circles. Battery A of Topeka will probably be the first unit called. If measures now before con gress should be passed within the next few days, all Kansas troops will prob ably be called immediately to mobili zation. No definite statement has come from the office of Charles I. Martin, adjutant general, concerning the mo- I sures wnicn wouiu virtually proviae national guards not previously called to federal service. Kansas Guards men, because of their previous excel- lent showings, would doubtless be among the first troops ordered to 4r'! mobilization camps. Passage of the l., measures now before congress would 57'iJ doubtless mean that the 4.000 guards jjii.7 men would be encamped at Kort Kiley 21! 4 'during the holding of the training 2::.! camp for officers.

Dissatisfac tion over Germany's failure frankly to announce her wair aims is openly ex- j pressed in German editorials reaching here today. "It is deplorable," the Tageblatt de clares, "that all declarations of the German government regarding war aims are unintelligible, artificial, indis tinct and of many meanings. We have remarked this nearly every time the chancellor has spoken on this subject. In all these cases we have proved that such language was more harmful than beneficial to the cause of the German people; that it confirmed or permitted to continue unchecked annexationist aspirations which must afterward be disappointed; that in foreign countries it could not win us the good will of the pacifists, but would be used against us by our war-mad enemies. "It was also a mistake, as it since has- been proved that President Wil son's direct question concerning our war aims was evasively answered by the statement that they would be com municated the moment we should be seated at the green table with the rep resentatives of the entente." Itcad Between the IJnea. Amsterdam. April 26. The Vor- waerts comments sarcastically on the semi-official Norddeutsche Allegemine Zeitung that the German government refused to declare its attitude amid the conflict of opinion regarding Ger many's war aims. The Vorwaerts says that the government does not wish to reject directly the peace formula of the Socialist Democrats, but neverthe less refuses to adopt it because the British and French newspapers are talking nonsense and adherence to the formula might be interpreted as a sign of weakness. The paper adds: "Whoever wishes may read between the lines that the government is pre pared to conclude peace without an nexation and indemnity and would even be glad to get it but does not dare to say so, owing to the threaten ing attitude of the Paris Matin and Journal and also of the Deutsche Tages Zeitung and the Taeglische Rundschau." Another Strike of 24 Hours. "Today's headquarter's statement comes early enough to influence the conscience of the munition workers." says the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. "For the most part, they have re sumed duty again but they will have to repair the consequences of their dereliction from duty and above all things these regrettable occurrences must be prevented from occurring again today or tomorrow "We are informed that attempts are still being made to institute renewed f Kuclid avenue: K.

The reference to a German state ment probably refers to that of April 24, in which the part played by the workers at home in promoting "the successes of the recent battles," al luded to. The statement recounted that the German soldiers on the battle line knew "that every man and woman at home is doing his or her duty and is working unceasingly to support him out there in the turmoil of battle for life or death, for existence or non-existence."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATF JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING. APP" 26. 1917 HUMAN BARRIER HALTS BRITISH ON WEST FRONT v Fourth Day Sees Both Sides Straggling for Decision. Massed Attacks by Germans Meet Terrible Toll. FEAR REVOLUTION MAY 1 Lid May Pop Off Thruout Eu rope on Holiday. Austria and Turkey Sick of Mar, Ready to Revolt. (By th Aiioriated Fim. The fourth day of the terrific strug gle on the British front in France has opened with both sides still striving vainly for a decision. The Germans have resorted to the terribly costly tactics of masaed attacks and have ap parently succeeded in checking the British advance. This partial success has been won. according to spectators of the titanic conflict, at staggering toll of human life. It would seem as if the revolution ary muueiings which were ominously welling thru Europe prior to the in ception of the great battle were drowned bv the thunders of the battle field, but indications are not lacking hat momentous events are about to occur behind the fighting lines. The summary adjournment of the reich utag when its sittings barely had been opened is given added aipnificance by hints in the German press that the ftt-ike agitation in Germany may burst forth with renewed violence on May Day. the great international Socialist holiday. A .mtionwide labor demon stration In Sweden also is planned for that day and may have its counterpart in Spain. .Silence Shrouds Austria. No news of any importance has been received from Austria for several day.i. a fact that has g:en fresh vigor t j the ever recurrent report of intentions r efforts on this part of the dual monarchy to seek n separate peace. No confirmation of the reports is ava il ttbie from any reliable source, but there are more definite tiding of the status of affairs in Turkey. Return ing travelers tell appalling stories of the devastation wrought by disease n.l starvation in tho ottoman empir-. They also repeat the oft-told story t hnt the Turkish people are sick at heart ovpr the war and its entailed misery, but are kept in sub. ction by the iron hand of Knver Bey and his German colleagues. A striking example of the rigidity of the German censorship is afforded by the nnws that no German newspa per is allowed to leave the empire without neing passed by t- govern -ment officials. Wire fences charge 1 with electricity also have been erected along the German-Swiss frontier and c very -possible precaution has been ta ken to prevent the detail?, of what is transpiring within the realms of the entr:"i Towers from reaching the rest of ihe world. Allies ThruM on Saloniki Front. Apart from France there are few developments of importance in the war theater. The British continue to drivo forward in Mesopotamia but there is a curious silence in regar to the Russian armies in that region. An .ittack on a fairly large scale has been made by the allies on the Saloniki front but there is nothing as yc to indicate whether a general offensive is planned in this region. 11 rst Victim or C hild Plague.

Reason. Failure of the police to issue a war rant in the case nearly gained the re lease of Guy Livingston, charged with robbing the Frank EfflngV-r storehouse of flour, sugar and prunes worth $129, at the expense of the department to day. Livingston was arrested thru ac tivities of Officer Pinkston. following the reported robbery of the Efllnger storehouse of nine sacks of sugar worth $10 each. Ijiter it was found by the police that 500 pounds of flour worth tti. 80 a huhdred and 50 pounds of prunes valued at 10 cents a pound had also disappeared. Chief of Po lice Wilson asserts he has a contes sion from Livingston, who is In the city jail. Livingston's attempt for release, which came so near being successful, took place thU morning after the prisoner had hired Ed Rooney, a local attorney, to defend him. Rooney ap peared at the court of Topeka and learned that no warrant was on file, despite the fact his client faced a charge of grand larceny. Rooney went to the po'ice station and de manded to see the Livingston war rant. lxniaiulod Warrant. "We have the warrant all right," bluffed the police official. "Let's see it." demanded Rooney. The police wanted to play horse. "Look here." raid Rooney. "if there isn't a warrant for Livingston filed in 20 minutes. I'll have him out of Jail on habeas corpus." There followed considerable activitv on the part of the police. Inside of the time specfied, they had Frank Kffinger lat the station, ana ine groceryiimn uuu i signed a warrant.

They will ask the gov ernment for rifles and some one to drill them. HOT ON TRAIL (Continued from Tripe One) the first congressionally autnorized and paid for price probe as a result of recent soaring prices thruout the f nation, were reported today. 1 The probe was conducted in the na tion's capital. Some sensational dis i closures were laid before congress in the report, which pay? that similar i conditions undoubtedly hold In other cities of the country. Conditions unearthed here also may I be taken as a criterion of what tha .federal trade commission may find in its nation-wide investigation, j Municipal Wholesale Markets. I The conclusion reached is that j "there is no just ground for such high prices of many products, as are de manded of the consumer at this time." The effport recommends there is "urgent need in this country for or l ganization of comprehensive market ing machinery which will put produc ing and consuming communities in j trading relations with each other smM J make possible sending of perifcfttle 1 products directly from the point of j production to point of use." t Municipal wholesale markets are recommended ECONOMY I CASH MARKETS What the Probers Found. The probers found: That "reports of food shortage were misleading." That prices in many cities were "unusually high." That the poor "have been com pelled to resort to strictest, economy to provide food." That the sale of ordinary cuts of meats appear to have been discon tinued. That consumers are exhibiting more frugality than ever before; the falling off In garbage collections proves this. That shipments of foodstuffs were "abnormally held up and the food supply therefore abnormally de pleted." That the element of speculation in food products has been one of the potent factors in enormous in creases in prices. That shipments of foods to bel ligerent countries have not affected prices of potatoes, eggs and onions, but that prices of these commodi ties soared with prices of other foods. That the food situation here is merely a part of the food situation of the rest of the country. t ost of Delivery. The probers reported that increase! value of farm land, agricultural in struments, costs of distribution and "changed methods of living" undoubt edly has some effect on price in creases. "Suburban life," the report said, "for instance, calls for longer hauls for de- livery. On the other hand, apartment house life calls for frequent small i quantity sales, with corresponding in crease in frequency of deliveries. The delicatessen serves as pantry for the j apartment dweller and the proprietor charges for services rendered." RAISE BLACKLIST England Withdraws Its Effect on U. S. Shipping. Affected 100 U. S. Firms and Drew SharpProtest. London, April 26. The British blacklist of shipping has been with drawn so far as it concerns the Unit ed States. Raising of the blacklist will remove the only real issue that ever threat ened ill-feeling between England and the United States. The original blacklist covered" 85 business firms. Several have since been added. (Jreat Britain announced her black list in July, 1916- It was a formal listing of certain firms all over the world with whom British citizens were forbidden to trade. Nearly a hundred American firms were includ ed in this prescribed catalogue. Created Painful Surprise in U. S. On July 26, Acting Secretary of State Polk registered America's em phatic protest at this discrimination in a note addressed to Sir Edward Gray. The blacklist, this note'said, had been received with "most painful surprise" by the United States and the government was "constrained to regard It as inconsistent with true justice, sincere amity and impartial fairness which should characterize the dealings of friendly governments with one another." In the diplomatic interchange which followed. England refused to relax the blacklist on the American firms men tioned and the matter remained still an issue. In raising the embargo today, Eng land thus gives fresh proof -of com plete unity with her new ally, leav ing it completely to the United States government to make certain that ene my firms do not trade. SOCIETY WOMANTsLAIN Divorced Husband Taken Into Cus tody But I Evidence Lacking. St. Paul, Minn., April 26. Police are puzzled today over the mysterious murder or Mrs. r rank Dunn, 29. young society woman, as she slept early today. Her former husband. from whom sne wag divorced after a bitter court struggle a year ago, was taken to the police station to be ques tioned this morning. He was found asleep at his home two hours after the murder occurred. The murderer broke into the home of Mrs. Dunn's parents, where she has been living. He entered the room in which she and a younger i?ter were sleeping, shot her twice and finally clubbed her to death with his pistol. The sister, Katherine. witnessed the murder, but her screams awoke their parents and a brother too late and the man escaped. Police admitted they were baffled by the crime. Jewelry arrd rings were not touched. Her sister is said to have told the police that the man com manded her to Keep cool I don't want you. I 'jost want to do a little shooting." Later Frank J. Dunn, former hus band of the murdered woman, who had been taken to police headquar ters, was released after questioning. NAME 16 ENGINEERS County Units Organized in Good Roads Program.

LOSS APPALLING Trench Warfare Impossible Under British Artillery. Massed Charges Decimated; Germans Welcome Capture. London. Aoril 20. Germany is now suffering her most appalling losses of the war in the desperate enaeavors or her army staff to stop the British drive by sheer weight of human mass es opposing it North of the Scarpe river today where the British fought ahead al most inch by inch in the face of great masses of men the carnage was great er than that suffered by the enemy since the war started. Front dispatches today carried the idea that the Germans, realizing no trench works could stand against the leveling fire of the British artillery, were seeking to make a wall of living human beings against the advance. Into the closely packed troops oppos ing, the British fire did terrific work. Thousands of mangled bodies are fluns over the battle field along the Scarpe, mostly of Germans. The Brit ish losses have been exceedingly low, considering the ferocity of the fight ing. Morale Undermined. That the terrible mortality of the German troops is undermining their morale is apparent by statements of prisoners. The German troops all of them picked divisions are literally driven into the fighting line now. Those who survive the deadly accur acy of the British artillery fire and the pounding of the British infantry attacks are exceedingly glad to be ta ken prisoner. Today it appeared that the British and the enemy were deadlocked to the north of the Scarpe. The drive toward Douai along this line was be ing opposed with the Germans' every resource- To the south, however, the British pressure could not be resisted and they were slowly moving forward. SHOT DOWN BY GUARD New York, April 26. Sentries guarding the water front under the Brooklyn terminal of the Manhattan bridge which crosses the East river, today shot down a man found loiter ing in the rear of a factory turning out machinery. According to Arthur J. Riley, a private in Company I, of the 47th New York regiment, the man drew a knife and attempted to stab him after refusing to obey a com mand to move on. The man fled. altho wounded, was captured by police men and citizens and taken to Com pany Is headquarters where a knife was found on him. The prisoner was removed to a hospital and i3 expected to die. 1 He said he was John Smith, 35 years old, a Russian laborer. The authorities said there was no suspicion of a war plot.

NEW VAR MISSION France to Send Another Dele gation of War Experts. Tardleu, Head of Delegation, Urges Hard and Quick Blow. BY XV. S. FORREST. Paris, April 2d. To preach the gos pel of an intensive war is the mission on which Andre Tardieu and a group of French specialists in various depart ments of the r are shortly to leave for America as representatives of the French government 1 the allied con ferences. To the United Press today Tardieu outlined what this new mission plans, and emphasized- the imperative neces sity that America and Americans throw their full weight immediately into the struggle if they deslra to give best aid to the allies anr help win th? war in the shortest possible time. Editor, publicist, writer, diplomatist and for two years a fighter at the front. Tardieu Is convinced the way to beat lhe enemy is by the heaviest pos sible 'deluge i steel, tie is an expert in preparations for this sort of warfare. Knows France's Needs. Tardieu said he had practically com pleted a full list of what France need ed from America. On arrival in Washington he will submit to officials this list of France's necessities and will inquire as to America's ability to sup ply them to what extent and in what length of time. He Drooosed to bal ance this information with France's needs and inform his government ex actly what may be expected from America in the shape of ships, food, munitions, money, soldiers and the like. Official announcement was withheld today of the exact number of French war specialists who will accompany Tardieu, but It was stated that they will be drawn from various services. All are experts. They will be prepared and commissioned' to work in tho closest co-operation with American orriciais and with the British and Ital ian missions in Washington with view to distribution of supplies under existing allied agreements. ror tnis purpose Tardieu haa hun vested with full information and with iuii power to act. Ships, Grain, steel First. First of all France needs ships, grain and steel. Tardieu hopes to confer with General Goethals about Amer ica's building program of "submarine evaders'' and to talk with other Amer ican experts in variods lines. He in dicated today he would not hesitate at the proper time to give the press of America an opportunity to SDread to the nation the importance of the united fetates working its hardest now that she is In the war. Commissi jner Tardieu refused"to In dicate today whether he would urge that American troops be sent imme diately to the front but he added:- "Speaking just as a citzen of France, I would emphasize that this nation would give unprecedented welcome to the olive-green of the American uni form and the sooner the better," Tardieu is bound to make a dis tinct impression on America and Americans. He is almost P.ooseveltian in type a man with intense dynamic energy harnessed by complete know ledge of actual war conditions, gained first hand on the battlefields. "Go Easy" Plan Failure. It is to be expected he will do won ders in impressing Americans that Europe is expecting their intensive aid and that any inclination now to "go easy" means a longer war and lives and money uselessly lost. Tardieu is the editor of the fa mous Revue des Deux Alondes. has seen diplomatic service, is a deputy. and has previously visited and writ ten a book about America. Deny Sugar Co.'s Petition. Washington. April 26. The inter state commerce commission today de nied the petition of the American Beet Sugar company and others asking a modification of the commission s de cision that a reduction in rates from 85 to So cents per hundred pounds on sugar from southern California to Tex as points as "not reasonable." TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago. April 26. WHEAT Fresh high record prices for wheat resulted today largely from prostiects of continued sharp competition by exporters and domestic millers. t'reent need of greater supplies of bread stuffs waa implied, especially by dis-, patches from tireat Britain and there was official announcement for Portugal that owing to the exigencies of the food sit uation all import duties on ereala had been removed. Stormy weather involving additional delay and curtailment of spring wheat seeding in the liHkotas. Minnesota and Canada tended further to lift prices. Trading here, however, was relatively light. Opening quotations which ranged from He to SUc higher with May at $2.53V- to $2 54 and July at $2.17 to S2.18. were fol lowed by respective advnnces to S2.55 and $2.21 and then by a moderate reaction. New jumps in values about midday car ried the market up to $2.60 for May and $2.254 for July. Much of the buying on the way up was for commission houses with eastern connection and was said to be to a considerable extent of a specula tive character. Profit taking sales near tbe finish led to violent breaks. Tbe close was weak at 2Vic net decline to 4c ad vance with May at $2.54 to $2.54 and July at $2.16 to $2.1BV4. CORN Scarcity of arrivals gave inde pendent strength to corn. The upturns in wheat continued to exert a decided bullish influence, after opening unchanged to lfec higlier, the market gained sharp before a setback came. Rushes to buy oats were unchecked. The demand appeared to he largely the comparative cheapness of oars in relation to other grain. Unfavorable weather for planting was a bullish factor in subsequent dealings, but late weakness of wheat proved niuch more than an offset. The close was heavy at a decline of lc to 3e net.

Red Sox Look Like They Have Best Staff at Present. BY JACK VKICX'K. New York,, April 26. With at least four clubs figured to stage a hot battle on the home stretch in the American league this year, pitching is sure to be a big factor before the race is over. The work of the hurlers in the early games always counts of course, but later on, when the teams settle down to the steady grind and pitchers are fighting it out for a victory in close ball games, the gentle art of twirling the apple is going to double in importance. The wonderful pitching staff of the Boiston Red Sox, which has been a household word in the American league for several seasons, will be heard from again this year. There is no doubt of it. for in Kuth. Shore, Ieonard and Foster the Bostonese have a hurling corps that can pitch its head off when there is honor and money in sight. Tig" Twirlcrs Weak?

At 60 cents a bushel this would add $3,600,000 to the farmers" wealth. It would cost nothing except a trifle of ef fort to test seed, or cultivate a little more carefully, or watch the wastes more closely. Buy Our THRIFT CERTIFICATES! Minute tre ciajg as the greatest collection of money pitchers in the business, but the crit ics are playing a hunch this year that the same old punch will not be back of that pitching staff Insofar as the ability of the Sox to manufacture runs is concerned. This early in the sea son such a question cannot be an swered. It can only be guessed at. The Detroit Tigers have always stood out as a club with powerful offensive ability, but the pitching of Tiger huriers did not show much im provement over last season in the early series this year, and it appears that Jenniflgs will find the pitching problem just as big as ever when the race gets hot. Bill Donovan's Yankees, a good looking club all around, started off the season at an uncertain pace. At times they have shown a flash and then again they were outpitched and outplayed. Weak against good left hand pitching, the Yankees are still a question mark. White Sox Fllngcrs. The White Sox. figured from the first as hot contenders thruout the season, are banking on their pitchers this year, and from early exhibitions Comiskey's hurlers appear to be point ed for a long and hard campaign. Commy's boys started off with a rush this spring. They swept the Browns and Tigers aside, and wonderful pitching was the answer. The sur prising feature was the punch back of that pitching, which gave the White Sox hurlers a few runs to work on. With Scott, Faber, Russell, Benz, Cicotte. Williams and Wolfgang all I going good. White Sox rooters have a f reason to look ahead to a rattling finish by the South Siders. And if they go thru, don't forget that an old veteran named Kid Gleason will come in for a big share of the credit. Gleason is to the White Sox what Wilbert Robinson was to the Giant pitching staff several years ago a sort of guardian angel and an un matchable coach. The hurling of the Browns' and In dians' staffs, coupled with occasional pitchers' battles in which such stars as Walter Johnson, Joe Bush and Bert Gallia will figure, is certain to keep the importance of crack pitching to the fore until the season ends. SCOREBOARD FLASHES Wednesday's hero: Wally Schang. Just like it was world's series time Wally slapped a ball into the polo grounds right field stands and won a ball game. Grover Cleveland Alexander uses reverse English on his heroism and left for home and quiet in the eighth inning- The Giants eventually won 9 to 8. A vnnth named VitHnff mihHAil fnw I Charley Herzog and did most of the wrecking. Three runs in the tenth gave the Pirates a ten to eight victory over the Cardinals. Brooklyn and Boston were tied jit Ix aVt when L'mnire Quigley decided to call a halt. Thirty-two ball play ers, twelve innings and two hours and t fifty-seven minutes had been used. Ayers and Ruth each forced in a run but the Red Sox worked a vic tory out of their gift. Seven hit3 were luckier than eleven The Cubs got the seven and the Reds the eleven. i Delia Team Wants Games. The Delia, Kan., baseball team is anxious to arrange for games and a request has been made that all teams looking for engagements write the manager at once. Delia will play the Topeka Greys next Sunday. Prescription Perfection Your doctor knows exactly what drugs to order for your pre scription and expects certain re sults from their use.

THE KANSAS RESERVE STATE BANK Capital and Surplus $250,000.00 HOFFMAN EASY WINNER He Defeats Miller In Straight Falls at Soldier Smoker. Lewis Hoffman had little trouble disposing of Kid Miller in their wrest ling match staged by Company K Athletic club of the Missouri guards men Wednesday night, the Topekan throwing his guardsman opponent in straight falls. Hoffman showed his superiority from the go and Miller was unable to cope with him largely be cause of weight and lack of science. In the bout between Kid Pinkey and Kid Otto the Topekan also was given the decision by the majority of spectators. Red Sheehan and Sailor Johnson put on one of the best cards of the evening and were so evenly matched that their bout was called a draw. Food for Fans BT GEO. K. PHAIK. (Copyright.) Aviators. The army and the navy are In direst desperation For lack of men accustomed to The art of aviation. But there are airmen In our midst Too numerous to mention. For every pitcher knows the art Of making an ascension. Looking over the club standings, one is led to suspect that Brooklyn has not recovered from the shock it received when it won that pennant. Harry Frazee threatens to Insure the Red Sox against rainy days. It will be a great consolation to the fans who are soaked in the trenches to know that the club is not losing any money. To date no form of insurance has been evolved that will protect fans who pay big league prices and see bush league games. Colonel Dickinson, who has in vited Jess Willard to join his cav alry regiment, evidently has a grudge against a horse. Evidently Willard is waiting for the kaiser to go out and get a reputation. If Fred Merkle wins a pennant for the Cubs it will not be the first time. Horrors of War. Once the fragrant scent of roses Filled milady's garden fair. And the violets, half hidden In the mosses, nestled there. Now the fragrant scent of onions Wafts and floats upon the air. Bill Shakespeare was a versatile sort of chap, but we'll bet he would have been stumped if he had tried to write an immortal sonnet to a parsnip. Scribes may consider themselves lucky that baseball clubs are not al lowed to carry 100 men on the payroll. Fielder Jones would crowd them all into one box score. Reports from the front indicate that the Athletics are conducting a strate gic retreat to a previously prepared position. We read with a feeling of thanks giving that the heavyweight wres tling championship will be settled be fore summer comes upon us. The sus pense has caused us to lose fully a minute's sleep per month. Highland Park Wins Game.

American News paper Puhllahera' Association, Aodlt Bureau f Circulation. The effort of a lot of politicians, townspeople and college professors to advise the farmers of Kansas has re sulted as might have been expected. y Reports to the Kansas Defense council indicate that the men who produce the wheat, corn, potatoes and alfalfa are pursuing their regular busi ness In the customary way, unmindful of the solicitude or suggestions of their city brothers. The farmer can be trusted to cultivate all the land pos sible as long as prices remain at their present level without being spurred on by an incentive of patriotism. As has been pointed out before in this paper, the only thing that can stop tltm is a lack of help in the pinches. From the reports made to the coun cil, it seems that he has that matter wpll in hand in most parts of the state. The Kansas agriculturists work. They don't hold conventions and spend their time in talk. Boys are giving pig shows in the east. The girls are giving calf shows In all the cities of the country. General Maude is keeping the Turks "Ton the jump but it still is a long, long way to Constantinople. These are busy times for Hlnden bu rg. Just as he was about ready to smash the Italians, the British and French demanded his attention. Now General Cordona's army is taking the offensive. Hindenburg should have been twins. A division of opinion as to whether or not to fight Germany has resulted in the Arsentinos fighting among themselves. A Dutch ship carrying diamonds valued at $2,000,000 has run the Ger man blockade. This news is certain to prove annoying to the kaiser. The federal trade commission has -auseovered that the Standard Oil com r. pany is responsible for the high price of gasoline. Everybody else has known it for years but it took an ex pensive Investigation for the govern .Hient to ascertain a fact of otherwise common knowledge. Now that the se cret is out what will the commission do about it? What will anybody do about it; Shall the Standard be fined another $29,000,000? -A close study of volunteering reveals not merely its disadvantages, but still more emphatically its delusions. The absence of a conscription law, says the New Republic, merely lets loose a crowd of other compelling forces, which lash with scorpions where the law uses but rods. Scorpions, that is, for the sensitive, while the toughened go scot free. The first call for volun teers in a great national emergency brings out the adventurous and de voted who really want to fight. They amount to about one per cent of the population. Many of them ought not to go. Generous of themselves, they sacrifice families and positions where many of them would be more useful than at the front. They contain j mong them a large proportion of the spiritual and intellectual cream of the nation. The choicest are plunged into those holocausts which lack of experi ence provides at the beginning of each war. The primary duty in this country today, says the Chicago Herald, is for every state, municipality, corporation and individual to go about business calmly, diligently and with the opti mism which the situation fully justi fies. If there are roads and other pub lic works to be built, why go ahead and 'build them, just as would be done in normal times. If a man has a certain standard of life there is certainly no reason for any heroic effort to live in a fashion fundamentally different. Rea sonable economy, of course, there should be always should be. But "that's all the situation calls for. .As another evidence that Kansas is In favor of compulsory service might be cited the poll tax law passed by the legislature last winter. After the war perhaps we shatl see "an organization of the Grand Army of the World, to be followed by en campments and reunions. Everybody knows that one purpose """of our five billion dollar bond issue .lis to enable us to loan three billions to our Allies, but everybody does not Jknow the particular reason why we i ;are doing It instead of letting them t borrow as they have in the past. This reason was explained by Senator -Pmoot of Utah during the debate on the bond bill. He said that the Allies -could raise the money by selling bonds :as they have in the past,, but that the ijraie of interest, commissions, etc., would be excessive. Said ha, "There Is no Question that if England 'should undertake today to place a bond issue at the rate of interest of 3 M per cent, she would not get more than 87 to 90 cents on the dollar for the bonds. Her credit is not so good as that of the United States, and now our country Is undertaking to loan to England our credit, which is worth 100 cents on the dollar, at a rate of 3 per cent; and England, or whatever country borrows the money, will get the ad vantage of the credit of the United States." SAX FRAXCISCO'S EXPERIMENT. San Francisco has been operating a municipal street railway system three years and seems to like it. Up to July of last year it had set aside a depreciation fund of $722,000, and had retired $101,000 of bonds. It is estimated that In eight years San Francisco's municipal railway will be fre from debt. Judging by the showlna already made. And all this will be from surplus earnings, without a dollar from taxes. The policy which permits the public to carry on its own business in service of general necessity is growing In fa vor slowly but surely. It is not neces sary to go away from home to find an illustration of its advantages. We have it in the waterworks. Glasgow, Scotland, has set the pace for the cities of the world In matters of this kind. Twenty-two years ago, for about $18,000,000, Glasgow ac quired her street railways, and their net earnings have amounted to more than that sum, after large deductions for depreciation and repairs. Her whole tramway system is free of debt, and has a surplus of $580,000. with a net revenue of $2,263,000 in the last fiscal year. She has applied the same principle to water, gas, electricity, laundries and housing of the poor. Not only have her public utilities been well and ca pably operated but they also have given her people the best possible ser vice at the lowest charges consistent therewith. A number of prominent editors and authors of New York have united to send out a call with the purpose of helping to mobilize opinion in regard to the war. They are urging upon the public as a basis for a program. "Mobilizing America," a little book by Arthur Bullard. which has already been sent to every member of congress by the conference committee of na tional preparedness. THK FOOD CRISIS. The world harvests of 1918 were generally bad. Our home production of wheat was below the average; in Canada the crop was short; Argentina, one of the world's largest exporters. has been compelled to put an embargo on foodstuffs; the Australian crop, which has been relied on for relief, was heaily damaged in January; Rus sian wheat is still tied up behind the Dardanelles, and India hardly raised enough for her own consumption. Nobody without divine knowledge, says the Los Angeles Times, could have foreseen the failure of the 1916 harvests. But any one with horse sense knew that world conditions were such that only superhuman agricultu ral efforts could suffice to fill the bodily wants of mankind. And it is not a far-fetched prediction to say that unless 1917 does well enough to com pensate for the dearth of 191 and if the war continues another twelve month the world In "1918 will reach a stage of destitution closely resem bling universal famine. The best way to bring down the price of a commodity is to produce more of it. The only way to get more out of the soil Is to put more Into it. Prospects won't brighten suddenly by divine intervention. American soil products must come to the rescue. If necessary, under government supervi sion. We don't want politicians to debate the advantages or disadvantages of such a move. This is an occasion of unprecedented crisis. We want prac tical agriculturists to get our whole terrain working at once to the maxi mum possible output. We don't want suggestions, but action. To win the war and what Is of greater impor tance to be in a position to alleviate world suffering when the war is end ed, we need a farmer army as urgent ly as a fighting army. Otherwise we may have, if not at home, certainly abroad, to meet eventually the most grisly of all human foes, the specter of starvation. In addition, to safeguard the world against so terrible a possibility, we must annihilate the destructive power of the German submarine. The thou sands upon thousands of tons of good food that have been wasted in the depths of the ocean have added cruelly to the deficit In our already shortened world rations. Farmers are not en couraged to raise better crops, to sac rifice them in the celebration of a U- boat orgy. The program of wanton and indis criminate destruction of the world's produce not merely inflicts losses on the foes of Germany and wastes the toil and efforts of neutral nations; as sure as there is a providence that re gards the fall of a sparrow, the whole sale devastation will be visited in the future on the German people them selves. Possibly too late in the day the whole world will have to fight the-4 common foes of plague, pestilence and duties, then, at present con front the United States, that we may avert a general famine: to produce a surplus of foodstuffs, and to rid the oceans as speedily as possible of the Prussian water rats that, are preying on the world's larder. Next to the taking of innocent life, this cruel waste of the chief necessi- ties for sustaining that life Is the grav est Indictment that in after years hu manity will bring against the German government. Unless the waste Is speedily stopped and the supplies sys tematically replenished, a graver cri sis is ahead of us than the thinking individual is able to contemplate with light-hearted optimism. Off SBTO OF TIE MOMENT BY BOX at. MOCLTON. The Worst Yet. Tho we view with frowning feature every young and callow creature Who will step along the avenue in spata. While so lien If it Is our feeling that we often hit the ceiling When we meet whoever wear brown derby hats Still von might as well be knowing we could pardon the foregoing. We'd forgive 'em tho they shock our simple taste. But In greatest rage we're swearing at the voutha who now are wearing These new trench-coats tightly belted round the waist! He who cultivates a passion for the very latest fashion. Very often is offensive to the eye. When we see a lad affecting foppish fancies we're suspecting That he'll languish in the bug-honse by and by Just the same and none the less he thinks lie's reallv very dressy And we re sorry that we spoke of him In haste. Still we're glad to wish a curse on that absurd and youthful person With the trench-coat tightly belted round the wait! Tho one shivers as he passes every pair of liurn-rimmed glasses, Tho we writhe to see a wrist-watch on a male, Tho we reckon as demented him whose handkerchief ia scented Or who loves a lovely polish on his nail; Very queer are these. However, we would scruple to assever That they're either lost to reason or disgraced. But how grieved and how unhappy are the parents of the ebapnle With the trench-coat tightly belted round the waist! Happy Thought. Among other ups and downs in life are the high times today and the low spirits tomorrow. Yeah? "Had I the chance you'd know I am At acting unsurpassed!" says Greef; You'll notice this about a Ham, He Burely likes to beef! Be a Reformer. One good way to spend your time is in reforming other people. If you can spend a few hours after work each day in reforming you will soon be able to find fault with anything. All a Reformer needs is,the ability to see the objections to everything. Tell other people what they ought to do. Go up to someone and ask him his opinion in regard to something and then tell him he's wrong, dead wrong. Prove it to him. Say, If you don't agree with me you're narrow-minded and ignorant Sooner or later you will find it necessary to tell him how ignorant he is. If he pokes you on the nose, perhaps you will find an inter est in reforming of your nose. Today's Sneer. The men who succeed in deceiving their wives are as many as those who never try to. The Period. How patient 1b the Period, And oh. how nicely bred, Bei-iniae it never interrupts Till everything is said. The Question Mark. The Question Mark and is it not A little bit nbsurd? For tho It asks an awful lot. It never says a word. From the Atchison Globe- A man who does things is worth a hundred who talks things. Sometimes the majority rules, and sometimes it only thinks it does. What has become of the old-fashioned family which used to eat cheap food Sometimes the bride is congratulat ed when sympathy should be express ed. A man doesn't have to marry for money in order for his wife to think she owns him. This is act to be a great season for the girls who so easily fall in love with a uniform. Women who are battling for equal rights should remember that very few men receive alimony. When he first sells a bunch of junk, the small boy thinks he has found an easy road to sudden wealth. Sometimes it seems there ia more artistic temperament than there is art in this complicated cosmos. While women are taking the place of men in many lines of endeavor, no woman has a vocabulary suitable for driving mules. There is no place like home during tne nouse cleaning Beason. and man can find other causes for gratitude if he looks around. Probably you complain of the in gratitude of humanity, but are you as grateful as you should be when the occasion demands it? A woman never gets so tired of her husband, and some them become painiuily weary, that she wants hin to neglect her for other women. 25 YEARS IGO IN TOPEKA From iht columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL April 28, 1882.

GLOIBE Bedtime Stories BY BOWABD B. GAMS

Uncle Wiggily and Nannie's Mowers. "Oh, dear!" exclaimed Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the nice muskrat lady housekeeper of Uncle Wiggily Long ears, the rabbit gentleman, as she sat all "wrapped up In a rocking chair. "Ah-ham! A-ker-choo! A-ker-snitzlo!"- 'My, goodness me, sakes alive and some mustard plasters!" cried the bunny uncle, who was just getting; ready to hop out of his hollow stump bungalow. "You are catching cold, Nurse Jane." "Catching cold!" sneezed and cough ed the lady muskrat. "I think the cold has caught me, and it didn't have to run very fast to do it, either. Oh, dear, I don't believe I'll be able to do much housework today, Wiggy, unless I have some medicine!" "I'll go right away and get you some from the five-and-six-cent store," said the bunny rabbit. "I'll get you some sneezing, coughing and cold medicine." "That will be very a-ker-choo kind of ker-snitzlo of you!" said Nurse Jane. Uncle Wiggily hurried out to the chicken coop, where his automobila had been sleeping during the night, and, turning the whizzicum-whazzi-cum to make it go, in he hopped to ride off to the medicine store. Now everything would have been all right, except for what happened. Uncle Wiggily was riding along, thinking how sorry he was about Nurse Jane, and how kind she was to him and all that, when, all of a sudden, his auto mobile ran into a mud puddle on the road left there by the last April show er, and then Well, you know how it is If, when you are running fast and you sudden ly step into a slippery mud puddle. It was that way with Uncle Wiggily's automobile. The bologna sausage tires SDun around like Sammie Little- tail's top when It's in a hurry, and then the machine, with the rabbit gentleman in it, tried to turn a som ersault. It didn't Quite do it. but it stood up on its hind wheels, like a horse when it's playing tag, and then it ran back ward and. splashed the muddy water all over. Finally it scooted across the mud puddle sideways and stopped. Uncle Wiggily sat still for a min ute, but nothing else happened. He was not hurt, except for being shaken up, and the auto -was not hurt, except for being all muddy, but that would wash off. So I guess I'll go on to Grandfa ther Goosey Gander's house and play a game ofbean bag, said the bunny uncle to himself. And then he stopped short, a funny look came over his face. under his pink nose and he said: 'Ha, hum! That doesn t sound just right. Now did I start out to go play checkers with Grandpa Goosey?" He tried to think, but the more he thought the more mixed up he be came. "That doesn't seem Just right," he said. "I believe I started out to buy new turnip steering wheel for my automobile and yet that doesn't seem right either." L nele Wiggily thought a little long er and then he said: Oh. now I remember! I wa go ing to see how much there was left of Beckie Stubtail's mud pie after we put some on the nose of Susie Littletail, my rabbit niece, where the bee stung her. Of course!" And yet the more Uncle Wieeilv thought of that the less sure he was of being right. "It s very queer! he said. "But I seem to have forgotten what I started out to get. Let me try to think." So he thought as hard as he could. but the more he thought the more he forget. The truth was that spinning around so fast in his automobile in the mud puddle had made him forget all about what he wanted to do. "Could It be that I was going to go out sailing in my airship, and that it turned into an automobile Instead?" he asked himself. But. do what he did, he could not remember All of a sudden Uncle Wieeilv saw Nannie Wagtail, the little goat srirl. coming along thru the woods. Nan nie had a nttle basket on her hoof and she wore a sun bonnet on her head. "Oh, Nannie!" cried Uncle CTIo-o-lH- "Do you know what it Is I have for. gotten 'W hy no. Uncle Wlggilv. I'm sorry to say I do not," answered Nan nie. "What s the matter?" Then Uncle AVigeilv told starting; out In his automobile, and how it went crooked and sideways in the slippery mud puddle and made his head so dizzy that he forgot every thing he had ever remembored. uid you start out to sr tn on. body's dinner Dartv?" asked after she had mentioned a number of i. uiij;;i, none oi wnich Uncle Wiggily thought was right. .No: It wasn't a nnrtv" Ga;j v.A bunny. Then I'll tell von what r, Nannie. "Yon come and heln m' iLr a bouquet. It is almost May, and tho April showers have brought out some cny nowers. Help me to fill my basket." So Uncle Wierrilv did waiting h the woods with the little goat girl, gathering the pretty posies. Soon Nannie's basket was full and she held it to Uncle Wiggily's r,in nose, saying: take a good, long smell, and see how sweet they are." The bunny gentleman smelleri nnrt snuiea ana men, all or a sudden one fuzzy flower tickled his nose and ho sneezed "A-ker-choo-ker-snitzio!" Ha! Now I remember! Now I re member! he cried. "The flowers maae me sneeze. When you sneeze you are catching cold. Nurse Jane has a cold and I was to get her some medi cine ior it! i remember now!" and away ne nurriea !n his automobile to the five-and-six-cent store and bought the medicine, which soon cured the musKrat lady. So you see Nannie's bouauet made the bunny gentleman remember what he forgot, and if tho flour barrel does n't blossom like a rose and turn into a strawuerry shortcake I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily's home run.

L EVENING STQOT Peg's W hite Wings. (By Silver Turner.) When the captain answered, "Aye, aye, sir," to the last orders aloft, Peg gie was left alone with the sail shop on her hands. It stood down'on South Water street, over a ship chandler's, a good, airy, sunlit loft, filled with the captain's belongings and all the imple ments and paraphernalia of his trade. He had lived there for eighteen years, ever since his retirement from the West Indies trad?, ever since Peggie had been a baby. And she loved the old loft. It had been her shelter and playground for years. She Knew everything it con tained, and all of the captain's cus tomers. So it was quite natural, after the captain's death, for her to keep his name outside, and his trade within. There was old Ben to act as first mate, so to speak, and Mrs. Mac- Gowan to look after the sewing of the sails. Peggie was in charge of cus tomers and accounts. Her favorite place was on the cap tain's old stool over by the front win dows at his tall wooden desk, where she could watch the shipping along: the river front. There was the great sweeping outline of the big bridge in the distance, and Brooklyn's shore line opposite. Below was the busy market street, one side of it water front, and the old barges anchored there, where you could get sea food in abundance. At night when the lights came out like varicolored stars Peggie used to think it was the loveliest spot in all New York. Mrs. MacGowan had kept the house for the captain for years in the snug iittle flat over the sail shop, so nat urally, after he bad gone away, she stayed on, looking after Peggie. And with Ben and his three assistants they remained a contented household until the coming of the Roving Lou. One morning after Ben had opened the old-fashioned wooden shutters outside the windows, and Mrs. Mac Gowan had started the whirr of her sewing machine briskly, Peggie, from her point of vantage on the stoos looked out and beheld a strange craft anchored in the slip where usually the sober looking James B. Gale lay a lumber boat from Providence. This one was a three-master, with high deck lines, and her prow sticking inquisitively up in the air. She-was ocean-going, too, and weather beaten, and she needed sails badly, Peggie's business glance discovered at once. Her general tone was gray, with touches of red and black on the cabin and deck trimmings, and over her rails there leaned one lone sailor, with a pipe in his mouth, and a red stockinet cap on the back of his head. "looks like a Portugee, don t he said Ben. "She must have slipped in there by night. Never heard her name before. Looks like shed seen some weather." Peggie could not have told why. but the stranger had a fascination for her. She had grown to know the names of nearly all th customary callers along that water front, and this bird of pas sage puzzled her. There was evidently no cargo to unload, and no signs of ac tivity about her. She had just drifted in to look around, probably. And then the door opened, and the master of the Roving Lou came into the shop. He was tall and young, and no Por tuguese, not with that rough blonde hair, and the keen blue eves that took in everything, and lingered longest on Feggie, even while he spoke to old Ben. I want some sails for her." he nodded vaguely toward the Roving Lou out of the window. "How long will it take to get them?' Ben got out his pencil, and figured in his leisurely way, while the strange captain looked boldly and fixedly at the slender figure on the high stool. x et ne mignt nave been pardoned, for Peggie that morning was a sight to gladden any one's cea-wearied eyes. She wore a pink chambray apron over her dark bluo dress, and a band of black velvet around her neck. And her reddish brown hair was piled up high on her small head, perhaps to give her dignity, or to counteract the effect of her dimples and freckles. He came often in the next few days. Ben liked him and so did Mrs. Mac Gowan. He would sit up on one of the long wooden tables and tell stor ies of the cruises tof the Roving Lou that delighted them. She had sailed the seven seas, now with one cargo, now with another, as it suited her master. She had carried d earls from Ceylon io tho Netherlands the while she was thought to bear tea. She had journeyed with ginseng from Frisco out to Hong Kong, and had roamed back to pick up kola nuts and hemp from Manila. And all the time he talked Peggie would listen, looking out of the window at the Roving Lou. and thinking how everlastingly tire some it was watching just that little patch of shipping and river front all one's life. Perhaps he talked too much around the little back rooms behind the chan dler shops and the eating places. Ben said so. Anyway, there came a night when Peggie was wakened by shots, and when she looked out of her win dow she saw that they came from the little dark slip where the Roving Lou lay at anchor. Ben was already down the narrow stairs and on the street, pulling into a coat. There were no police around. It was the habit and custom of that sec tion to attend to its own private af fairs without the aid of the police as much as possible. But out of the night there came one long yell and a dull splash as something went overboard from the Roving Lou. Peggie laid her head on the windowsill and Mrs. Mac Gowan, big and motherly in her white nightgown, fondled her wisely. "That was never his cry she said. "Don't you fret, dearie. He's a fine lad, and Ben'll look out for him for you." But Ben .stayed over in the slip long, until the first amber light showed in the east and the street lamps went out. When he did come, the strange captain was with him, and he was hatless, with a bandage around his head. Peggie went down to meet them, pale and eager-eyed, and Ben slipped up to the kitchen to brew some coffee, he said, leaving the two together down in the dimly lighted sail room. "I thought it was river pirates." he told her. "Two of them got me in my berth, and when I shot they hit me with a blackjack. The Portuguese woke up, and we found two more in the cabin. It's all right now. They didn't believe I was after new sails." He grinnetKhappily. "Two went over board, and two got away with the marks of the Portuguese on them." "What did they think you had there?" asked Pegt?ie, anxiously. "Rifles and shells, filibustering for the Gulf. I don't deal in contraband, I told them nothing more risky than pearls." He drew out a little leather sack from his inner pocket and opened it flat on his palm. Inside lay three unset pearls, tender and beautiful as the dawn that was breaking. "I've carried those lor three years," he said. "They've waited for the bride. Like them. Peggie?' Peggie nodded, drawing back from him. There came the whiff of fresh coffee from upstairs. "I knew as soon as I looked at you, why J-'d had to put in here for sails. And I've wanted you, Peg, but there's the Lou and the sea, and I've thought and weighed long, wondering could I give them up for a shore life. But the pearls are yours for the say so." Then Peggie spoke, simply and brave ly as the captain would have had her, when her life's happiness faced her. "Captain "My name's Jack!" he prompted. "Ben knows all about the business here, and and Mrs. MacGowan keeps house for us. I'd love to go to sea. You don't know what it is to have it all in you, the love of it, I mean, and the longing, and sending out sails and j sails to go everywhere like wings, and you just sit on your stool winning. Maybe that's why you w-ere sent in for sails because T was wishing so." And she liked him more than ever because his first kiss was on her hair, on the little curls that lay close to her forehead, as her arm stole around his neck, and Ben called down the stairs that the coffee was ready.

Truly I do not mean to be rude or unappreciative or unsympathetic. That explanation is meant for a certain class among my readers, the people who write me anonymous let ters, expecting an answer in the col umn, and do not- receive it. These letters are of various types. One Is the letter which asks me to write on some subject dear to the reader's heart but not of general in terest. For instance, one woman wants rne to give advice in regard to how ten ants and landlords should treat each other's children, "whether you think it best to mix with them if you have none of your own. I will look for your answer In my paper." Now suppose that among the rest of my readers five per cent live near their landlords, and one In ten of these has had trouble on the children question. That means that such an article would find a response in the lives of one-half of one per cent of my readers. Surely I ought to do better than that. Again, I am asked to give advice in situations, where advice Is useless. For instance, what to do to put things right between a girl friend who is gen erally regarded as engaged to a young man who has recently started going about also with another young lady. The girl knows about her rival. "If you knew how I feel," urges the letter friend, "you would do what I ask out of sheer sympathy." Bless your heaft, so I would, but it doesn't seem to me to be a situation where advice would do the slightest' good. Again there is the letter friend who asks me to write on some subject T have already written on. or that has ben done to death by ether people. Will I write on what would happen if everyone told the truth, or will I have the article on "Calm" repeated Gladly, but alas, there are the nine hundred and ninety-five to consider as well as the five who might be inter ested. And lastly there are the people who write me wonderful little notes of ap preciation and then wonder "if you will ever receive this and how 1 shall know." You' won't know individually, but collectively please know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart and that I hope someone else will be as good to you as you have been to me. They Were Prcparexl. I saw a mob, one day long ago. in tent on lynching a man. They gather ed in front of his house and ripped the air to shreds with threats and blasphemy. The man they were looking for came out on a little bal cony, carrying a Winchester. He leaned over the railing and spoke softly in a clear, level tone. "Did anybody in particular wish to see me tonight?". f The muzzle of the Winchester seem ed to grin sardonically at the mob. as he spoke, and the mob melted away. Two days later the real criminal con fessed, clearing this man. Ask him about preparedness. I saw a bully on a car mistake quiet good-breeding for cowardice. He answered a well-chosen rebuke with contumely end swung for an eye. The gentleman sidestepped and countered on the Jaw. Then the bully left the car, ably assisted all the way. Did the lady whom the bully had annoyed decry preparedness? Hardly. I recall that Little Crow, the war lord of the Sioux nation, shied away from our settlement in Minnesota when the settlers under my father's leadership had built Mockade and established a patroL While men. wom en and children were killed brutally all about us, our stockade received no attack. Scouts were seen more than once inspecting the stoCKade from a distance and two were shot, but a bit of preparedness discouraged the mur- i dering band A friend undertook to "gentle" a i bronco school in our forest. Four big boys of from 17 to 19 years had led the school in whipping and driving away four teachers. The lirst day of the new term, my friend invited the four boys to test skill and strength on the playground at noon, he to meet the four in rough and tumble wrestle, catch as catch can. When the four quit, exhausted, with the teacher still on his feet and smiling, he made a casual remark to the effect that he felt sure there would never- beany trouble of a, physical nature in that school. He walked to the school house door with his arms over the shoulders of the two who had given him the most to do and that school led all others in the county in deportment that winter. He was prepared. Would it have been better for him not take that course of instruction in wrestling and get his whipping like his predecessors? Are we afraid to be strong? Or what is the matter with us? E. E. HARR1M A X. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Breads.

THREE BRANDS SEIZED IN RAID Bevo, earo and Darin a Are To Be Investigated. County Attorney Asked to 3Iake an Analysis. From the great lakes of the north, whipped by the chill breath of the Arctic; from New Kngland's granite hills, and from Mexico's farflung gulf to the poppy and palm gardens of Cal ifornia, may the echo of Kansas pur ity, louder still, resound. It may. Whether or not the gold of the Sun flower fades to whiteness of driven snow depends, of course, upon nature, but the former depends upon the out come of an investigation started toda by the Topeka police heads. Bevio, Nearo and Darma. three "ladies" of a character similar to those t hat have heretofore been noticed in Kansas and have, to various extent, re ceived attention from clubs with ex clusive feminine memberships, and the attorney generals, including the pres ent one, are responsible. The Topeka police ran across the triumvirate this morning in a before breakfast raid. They were 1 ressed, 'tis true, but dressed they were in flashy garments labels bright and red in short, in the clothes as bright as those worn by relatives banished forever from the state by thf bone dry law. Chief Wil son took them to the police station. He doesn't know, he says, whether or not they are "decent" enough to live in Kansas unmolested, but he intends to find out. If they are liable to ham per progress of Kansas morals in any way.

It all happened this way: following the capture late Wednes day atternoon of john Heitman and un auto truck load of liquor, the police early this morning raiued the places of Heitman, Kate Heitman and Airs.

Therein were found three di.ferent brands of alleged no n-in toxica ting lUors the police are responsible tor the words, a I bed non-intoxicating liquors and tney were namely, iievo, Nearo and Darma. A policeman, while sleuthing; thru the place ran onto an empty wine bottle a quart one. Mrs. Mtiggs, the police say, said that the occupants had become frightened and had consumed the former contents alter the arrest of John Heitman. Chief Wilson sized up Bevo, Nearo and larrna. Quoth he: ''We shall see whether or not you are Innocent." Wilson told a reporter today that he expected to take the three before Kobcrt (iarver. county attorney, and ask him to make an analysis. Wilson wants to know definitely whether or not the three are intoxicating. An analysis made of one of these brands of drinks, sold at most soda fountains, n-f mliers of the county attorney's force said today, disclosed the tact that it contained some alcohol, but, not enough to be intoxicating. No Ileiwtrt Made. Iate this afternoon no official statement had been issued from the count y attorney's office. Police activities in regards to Bevo, Nearo and Darma, however, were very much unlike those in the court house in regard to John Heitman and his motor car load of intoxicants Wed nesday.

Those who desire a delicious, satisfying drink that is free from the harmful effects of coffee should use Postum confiscated within forty-eight hours, that ie may appear and claim his property. The court sets the time of appearance and the court this morn ing set John Heitman's time for April 28. If Heitman claims all that was con fiscated in connection with his ar rest, here is what he will demand: One six-cylinder Empire motor car, worth about $1,400. Two quarts of gin. Three quarts of whisky. Four hundred and eighty half pints of whisky. One quart of brandy. The present "retail" price of intox icants brings the value of the entire lot up to more than $2,000.

April 26 Coal men esti mate that the wage increase granted to 175,000 miners in the anthracite fields will raise the retail price of hard coal an average of 60 cents a ton. The agreement signed last night by representatives of the operators and the I'nited Mine Workers of American adds approximately $30,000,000 a year to the miners' warres and is the largest increase awarded in the history of the anthracite industry. The advance averages 20 per cent, virtually the same us that recently -eceived by the 225,000 workers in the bituminous fields. The agreement remains in ef fect until April 1. 1918.

That announce ment was made today by Le Roy Pow ell, chairman of the Rotary club com mittee that has, for the last three days been mobilizing high school boys and the older boys in grade schools for work on farms.- The mobilization was practically completed today. In filling out cards distributed by the Rotary club thru school principals Tuesday, 100 boys said their parents would allow them to go to the farm immediately. Two hundred and sixty five said they would go immediately after the end of the school term the latter part of May, and others, it was announced, are making arrangements to go later on with the first two "calls."

The Rotarians have arranged to de liver the boys to the farmers. This was made possible thru Rotarians vol unteering the use of their motor cars to take the students to the farm.

British Headquarters in France, April 26, via London. There has been a comparative lull on the front east of Arras in the last twenty-four hours, the German counter attacks in the ef fort to retake the positions captured by the British in Monday's push hav ing worn themselves out. After each attacking wave had been thrown back, the British crept forward still farther. Heavily overcast skies are giving the German airmen a brief res pite from British aerial attacks, aid ing them to reorganize their badly damaged squadrons for, in four days, the British have accounted for nearly 100 enemy machines. The British aviators were praying for more clear weather as their worry ing tactics had provoked the Germans into heavy fighting, but clouds gath ered yesterday and today also the skies were overcast. In consequence the airplane hunt was restricted. Owing to the heavy inrc Ms made by British airmen the German kite balloons are extremely timid these days,, altho the Germans depend mostly on them for artillery observation. They seldom at tempt overhead observation with air planes. The only air craft seen on this side of the line are fast fighting scouts which attempt raids and scurry home aain in the clouds. One German bal loon set adrift yesterday landed with in the British lines. Eight Futile Counter Attacks. Stories of the German counter at tacks there have been eight separate attempts to capture Gavrelle since Monday evening tell of almost in credible tactics used by the Germans in sending forward troops in mass formation, giving the British artillery the greatest opportunity for open tar get shooting it has had in the last two years. Several thousand Igray clad Germans were advancing late Tuesday when the British curtain of fire shut down in front of them. Still other British guns fired straight thru the curtain on the advancing men. Xot a man passed beyond that curtain, and when its obscuring smoke lifted, there was not a moving German in sight. Nothing was to be seen but ploughed ground littered with sprawling dead. One British resiment has a partic ular grievance against the Germans. The night before an attack, a stray German shell landed directly on the regiment rum cart, destroying 68 gal lons. Some of the men had been sleeping and fighting in the open for three days and were deprived of their "tots" which usually are distributed just before dawn these bitter cold mornings. There were several ammu nition dumps nearby which might have been hit by the shell, but. as luck would have ft, the rum cart was the mark.

FOR KAWVALLEY Peanuts, Alfalfa and Hogs Ideal Combination. Peanuts Can Be Raised on the Sandy Land. BY-COfi. K. V. MITtHEIiL. The peanut crop of ,the southern states has increased in value from 1908 to 1916, about $28,000,000 and in 1916 the crop was conservatively estimated at $56,000, 000; Texas increased her acreage more than one thousand mer cent from 1915 to 1916. As to its food value, the peanut" is richer than wheat, cheaper, to raise, and greater financial return is offered the boy, girl or farmer who adds this legume crop to his others. The oil is a substitute for lard, an-1 can be prepared for use in the same mills, that gives us cotton seed oil. As the writer slated in a previous story, the peanut gathers the highest priced fertilizer on the market today nitrogen out of the air, and stores it up for use, and becomes a part of the menu for other crops; thus leav- j ing the land in a higher state of fer- j tility. i The import of peanut oil is now cut off bv the war. It is largely used in the manufacture of butterine and other substances of like character. Just at this time, when activity is paramount in food productiveness, methods of effectual organization among our school children should be promoted and mobilized. In every j crisis of our country's history the farmer has saved the nation. He will save it now, and without him the em battled armies of Europe could do but little. i The peanut, which is universally used, can be raised on acres and acres of the sandy lands, much of which is considered useless, in and around To peka on the Kaw river. Let us do the duty that lies nearest and get pea nut busy now. The cotton fields of the south are now being brought back into a higher state of productiveness by the raising of the guber-pea. The writer produced in 1893, on soil similar to that along the Kaw, over flowed lands, a crop of peanuts that would have averaged 125 bushels per acre. This crop is no more difficult to care for than a corn crop. Twenty-six to 28 pounds 'of unroast ed peanuts will plant an acre, which can be procured at our seed stores for 11 or 12 cents per pound. One hundred and twenty-five bush els per acre is an average crou, and as 22 pounds is a peanut bushel, you have 2,750 pounds, per acre, worth $110.00. The peanut hay is nearer a proper food ration than alfalfa, red clover or any other grames, its nutritive ratio being 1 to 7.2. The food rations for live stock is as near 1 to 6 as is possible to get it. Another crop you can market. Farmers who have" this kind of lands on their farm, can get it back in to a high state of cultivation and fer tility by using the peanut as a crop and hogging it with their spring pigs, then butcher, or put the finished pork er on the market. Oh! how delicious that peanut ham will be, after being properly cured. Peanuts, alfalfa and hogs for Kan sas along the Kaw. They make the greatest combina tion.

FIRST NEW ROADS Cross State Highways To Be Built Before Others. Commissioners Discuss Plans at Meeting Today. Cross state highways are to receive preference in consideration of perma nent highway projects, according to a statement today by members of the state highway commission. Represen tatives of various highways are before the commission today to discuss meth ods of procedure. Under the new or der, it is probable that nearly 3.000 miles of cross state roads will be placed in the selective list. Efforts will be centered this summer in a campaign for permanent build ing along at least a portion of the big highways. Short length projects along portions of the various trails and roads will be considered in the campaign to stimulate a general road building proj ect. Representatives of the old and new Santa Fe trails, the Meridian road, the Golden Belt, Rock Island, White Way. and other roads have appeared before the state commission to dis cuss building plans and the distribu tion of federal aid. Under the plans adopted by the commission, it is probable that the commission will recognize short length road projects along all of the big cross state highways. Efforts will be made to centralize the initial building along the various trails, with plans for lat erals to be built later. Demands will not be made for county length units. but consideration will be given town ship and road district units in an ef fort to promote in every county a deft nite sentiment for permanent and hard suriace roads. The cross state high ways to receive immediate considera tion will call for construction of 3.000 miles of permanent roads. The move is the initial step in a five years' road Duuaing campaign. PLENTY OF SEEpTcORr Good Supply of Kaffir, Cane and Mu lct in Kansas. Reports received by J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agri culture an secretary of the defense council, indicate a fair supply of corn. Kaffir, cane and millet seed. Reports from over the state show 137,752 bushels of corn available for spring planting. It is quite probable that Kansas far mers may be compelled to send to dealers in other states for a seed sup ply adequate to meet all demands. Members of the state defense coun cil have sought to procure detailed information as to the seed supply in this state. Except corn, kaffir and cane, the seeed crop is short. In fact the kaffir and cane seed supply is not regaraea as adequate for all de mands. Here is the seed supply of the state as reported to Secretary Mohler: Al raira, d.ubj bushels; barley, 6.225 uuxni-iM, pmto oeans, 600 bushels cane, 14,15 bushels; corn, 137,752 letema, 4,425 bushels: kaf fir, 27.370 bushels: millet. 8.0BS hiih. els; milo, 460 bushels; sudan grass, WHEAT NEAR $3 MARK Car Sells on Topeka Board of Trade for S2.93 Today.

Asphaltic Concrete and Resur facing Jobs Awarded. The bid of $1-39 a square yard for building this summer's allotment of asphaltic concrete pavement in To peka, made by the Security paving company of Kansas City, was accept ed by the city commission this after noon. The engineer's estimate on the work was $1.51 a square yard. The total cost of asphalt pavement to be built in the city this summer, under the Security company's bid. will be $107. 737. 86. The-city engineer's es timate was $112,532.07. The Kaw Paving company was awarded the contract for resurfacing Topeka avenue. Their bid totaled $37,146.32 for the worn. The engi neer's estimate was $39,379.81. Fol lowing the awarding of the new as phalt paving contract to the Security company, a representative of the Kaw Paving company was on his feet say ing it wonlu hav oeen cheaper for the city to have let both contracts to the Topeka concern as the latter has oifered to cut 2 cents a square yard from all the work if awarded both contracts. The city engineer differed with the representative, and after the contracts were awarded the two went into the engineer's office to settle the dispute. The city commission opened bids for sixty-four blocks of new brick and asphaltic concrete paving and as phaltic concrete resurfacing on To peka avenue this morning. The work is to be done this summer. Itemized, the summer's program includes 81, 000 square yards of asphaltic concrete resurfacing on Topeka avenue; 11,. Sou square yards of new asphaltic -concrete pavim? and 49,000 square yards of new brick paving. Only two firms bid on the brick paving. Because the commission con sidered their prices unreasonably high er than' the city engineer's estimate their bids were thrown out. New bids will be advertised for. The city engineer's estimate for brick paving was $2.S8 a square yard for class A brick paving, $2.18 a square yard for class B paving, $1.98 for class C. and 46 cents for grading. The two firms that-submitted bids were Ritch ie Bros., of Kansas City and Zeigler Bros-, of Junction City. They both bid $2.50 a square yard for class A paving. Ritchie Bros., bid $2.30 on class B paving and Zeigler Bros.. $2.22. One Topeka Firm Bids. The Kaw Paving company was the only Topeka firm entering bids for any kind of work. This firm bid on the Topeka avenue resurfacing and the asphaltic paving. They quoted 90 cents a square yard for the resurfac ing, which was 8 cents less than the engineer's estimate. It asked $1.62 for the asphaltic concrete paving, 1 cent more than the city estimate of $1.61. The bid for grading was 40 cents, or 6 cents less than the city estimate. The Topeka company, provided it is given the contract for both the resurfacing and the new paving, offers to cut 2 cents a square yard off all the work. The Security Paving company of Kansas City and the A. Jaicks Paving company of Kansas Citv also hirf "the asphaltic work. The commission spent considerable time on the bids. Following the lengthy consideration the members re cessed until 2 o'clock this afternoon and instructed the city engineer, in the meantime, to go over the bids, fig ure them out. and report them back' at the afternoon meeting, when final action was scheduled to be taken.

7.1 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1917 9 I. r A delightful spring tea to which -i sood manyv of the Rirls and young matrons of society were asked, was fciven Wednesday afternoon by Miss l-.enre Mvnroe. Miss Day Monroe and Miss Cynthia Monroe. In the front hall, in a nook in the stairway, was a nuge banket of purple lilacs. Jonquils adorned tl e library, and In the receiving room and the liv ing room were bouquets of pink and white roses. Fringes ot flowers and ferns adorned the mantle places. The rooms of the three hostesses upstairs were open to the guests. In one of the looms was a tall, plain vase, of preen ware, filled with roses. The furniture wan of a pattern in use a century and a half ago, and made of solid walnut. In the room is an old bookcase, an interesting piece of furniture with a history. tin the walls are some an cient prints and photogravures: and cid fashioned print curtains are at the windows. Another of the rooms is done in pink, with ruffled white cur tains, and the flowers used in dec orating were pink roses in a tall, silver vase and boxes of pink hyacinths. In the receiving room downstairs was :t large vase of long-stemmed snap dragons. In the dining room an elec tric fountain in the center of the table, was surmounted by pink and whito roses, and the crystal pond below the fountain was edged with pink sweet peas. The party, of course, was a formal tea. but about the social affairs at the Monroe home there is never any air of formality and stiffness. The an nouncement of the engagement of Miss Monroe and Mr. Clif Stratton had just been made, so that the affair was practically an announcement party. Mrs. Lee Monroe, the mother of the hostesses, stood at the head of the re ceiving line to welcome the guests. She wore a gown of gold cloth and gold beaded net. Miss Monroe was gowned in deep blue satin, with sleeves, collar and vest of white Georgette crepe, embroidered In blue threads. She carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas and roses, with Ions knotted streamers of tulle. Miss Day Monroe wore pink taffeta, made on straight lines, with an overdress in .jleasant blouse effect, loosolv belted, and adorned with big, puff pockets. Miss Cynlhia Monroe was dressed :n a gown of whit! :eorgette. with the collar and sleeves edged with bands of American Heauty trimming. Mrs. Walter Wcidlins sat at the table in the (lining rorm and poured tea. She was gowned in white silk and Georgette with an embroidered ori.ament in blue at the front of the bodice. Mis. .lames Mclntire, of Wakefield, formerly Miss Helen Ing ham, of Topeka, was one of the as sisllng friends. Sh. wore her bridal dress (if whit. -satin and Georgette. Miss F.c.-i trice Shakeshaft. who helped in the (lining room, is one of the at tractive young gills of Miss Cynthia Monroe's set. She wore a frock of white, with a wide girdle of pink satin. Miss Dorothy Nichols wore a charming fioik of green crepe and ta (in. There were many attractive suits worn at the party. Miss Hazel Kis tcen wole a suit of dark blue with a pin stripe of white. Her hat was a drooping black straw. Mrs. James 8. Hayes was in a brown cloth suit, and Mrs. Grover Dunn of Westmoreland, wore a dull blue taffeta suit with cuffs and collar of striped blue and gold taffeta. The opening day of the exhibit of paintings by Mrs. Kobert Coppedge was Wednesday afternoon, when a party of society women received call ers to view the pictures hung in- the gallery of the Topeka Art guild. The twenty pictures of the exhibit are all new ones, having been painted within the past nine months, and nearly all of them while Mrs. Cop pedge was in the east during the sum mer and fall and a part of the late winter. In addition she has two or three large canvases of her recent -work hanging in eastern exhibits. One of the small pictures took a prize in the Kansas City exhibit. The Millrace of Garret Ford attracted a great deal of attention in the exhibit. It shows the picture of an old sailing boat, such ns the N'ew Kngland fishers Fom tablespoonfiils of Ifirembles with a little stif&r and milk make a Ibis feed for a little man.

Major Kenderdlne arrived yesterday from Hiawatha. Mrs. ;eorge P Ashton Is seriously ill. still use. In the background is the town with a haze hanging above it, and in the foreground is the boat and the bay. The snow scenes, of which there are a number of large canvases, were the subject of a great deal of comment. Mrs. Coppedge is handling her snows in a rather new fashion, accepted by eastern painters. One of these pic tures is "Winter on Darby Creek,' and another of the large pictures is "Win ter Quiet." "The Cove" is one of the attractive pictures of the exhibit, and "Lifting Fog" is one of especial meritt according to the critics. "A Glouces ter Fish Market" is a picture by Mrs. Coppedge that was reproduced in the famous art magazine. The Interna tional Studio. Nearly all of the pic tures are sea scenes, or at least harbor or river scenes, and they have a pecu liar attraction for the inland dweller. The exhibit will continue at the Art Guild rooms for two weeks. The women of Topeka who are in terested in art, are extremely anxious that the new auditorium, for which there is so much agitation among business people, shall be provided with' a gallery, properly lighted, for the exhibition of pictures, as an encour agement to local artists, as well as a matter of cultural advantage to the people of the city in general. Topeka at present has no proper place for hanging a large exhibition of paint ings. Mrs- B. M. Davies will give a musi-cale-tea at her home, Sixth and Har rison streets, Friday afternoon of this week at three o'clock. No invitations are issued, and a general invitation is given to her friends and all inter ested in the cause for which the affair is given.

The last program meeting of the Ladies' Music club for this season was given Wednesday afternoon at the Elks hall, and a general invitation to friends of the club was made. The program, made up of piano and voice numbers, was furnished by Mrs. Leslie Guild and Miss Ethel Coover. Mrs. Arza Clark played Miss Coover's ac companiments. Mrs. Guild, formerly Miss Hazel Wing, came to Topeka a few years ago as a teacher of piano in Washburn college. She was immediately wel comed into musical and social circles in this city, and has been a favorite here ever since. She received a part of her musical education at Oberlin col lege, and, later she graduated in piano from the New England Conser vatory of Music, Boston, Mass. She graduated under the master, Karl Stasny, who was a pupil of Liszt and a close friend of Moskowski. Mrs. Guild played a group of three Liszt compositions yesterday, with special skill. Miss Coover is one of three talented sisters of a Topeka family. One of her sisters -s a teacher of expression in Topeka. and another one teaches in New York. Miss Ethel Coover is a voice teacher in Topeka. She is a graduate of Bethany college, Linds borg, both in piano and voice. She has also studied at the Homer insti tute in Kansas City and with Mrs. Han nah Butler of Chicago. She was the soloist for the Lindsborg annual per formance of the Messiah one year, and she taught voice in the college at Lindsborg for six years. i Mrs. Guild wore a gown of blue satin and tulle, with long, float sleeves of tulle.

Op. 5. .Cbevillard Mrs. 4iuilu y Mrs. Lee Monroe made an address this morning before one of the his tory classes of the high school on the non-sentimental side of the Engusl: suffrage movement. The class is studying English history under Miss Ethel Aldrich, and it was the desire of the teacher that the students get a correct idea of the feminist move- ment in England. Mrs. Monroe has studied the subject very carefully and spent a season in England,, partly for the purpose of learning more of the true attitude of English women their fight for the ballot. She told the class that the women of Great Britain were not putting their tight on a sentimental basis at all, but were asking for the right of suffrage as a business and a personal asset. "They aro not talking," she said, "about the sacrament of the ballot, that we hear so much of in this country. But they are putting it up to their nation as a moans of assistance to working wo men and as an economic and business measure. The newspapers have i sisted upon putting it upon a basis of sentiment, but that is not the fault of English women, who know that they need the ballot and who know what it will do for them as a class! The Good Government club has be gun a campaign for household econ omy. They shot the first gun in that campaign at their last meeting when they advocated certain measures for the conservation of food. To further advertise their program for economy they will have a bread sale soon, and in connection with it, they will sell table breadboards and will illustrate their plan for saving bread by cutting it at the table as it is needed, con trary to the American custom of cut ting up a loaf of bread, putting it upon the table, and then being oblig- ed, many times, either to throw away the dry scraps or devise a more or less unsatisfactory way of "working it over" into edible form. The bread boards which they will present for sale in connection with their bread sale, will have to be made to order, and as the consignment is somewhat delayed, the sale is put off for short time. The sale of the bread is to raise money for an enterprise that the club has undertaken, to assist in some anti tuberculosis work. The bread will be home made, and given to the cause by members of the club, who are ac complished cooks. The members of the local chapter of the Pi Phi sorority will celebrate founders' day Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. W. L. Gardner. The party will bo a cookie shine from five to eight o clock. The sorority is sup porting a settlement school in Gatlin berg, Tenn., and a report on the school will be made. The members of the local chapter are: Mrs. Gardner Mrs. T. F. Doran Mrs. Alfred Frost Mrs. Silas Porter Mrs. Chester Wood- Mrs. Arthur Mills ward Mrs. K. A. Campbell Miss Lulu McCabe Mrs. Mark Troxell Miss Lois Lindsay Miss Leila Mercer Miss Marjorie Whit- Miss Jane Kingan ney Miss Margaret Fuller Miss Anna Nelson has issued invita tions to the annual musicale given by her students at the Y. W. C. A. Satur day evening, April 28, at 8 o'clock. Music isn't all one hears at a con cert. A group of women were discuss ing a program at a recent musicale, and one seemed especially interested in the titles of the compositions. "See here." she said, "this word Op, that seems to be on all the progji ns now what does that mean?" "That." said her wise anion, "Op is short for opera." "But see here," said the other one, "this is marked Opera No. 2. Are. then.all operas numbered, and is that the way you know them?" "Sure." said Mrs. Knowit, "they are all numbered so that the musicians will know, which one to play." X- The Topeka chapter of the D. A. R. will m'eet Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Claude Neil. 617 Taylor street, at 2:30 o'clock. Work on the quilt-which is being made for the ben efit of the French orphan fund will be the occupation of the members for the afternoon, and they are asked to bring sets of sewing materials. THERE'S A WOMAN" IX OI K TOWN Who thinks she has a line on the in tentions of fkw eertain eligible bachelor of Topeka. "I believe," she said, "that he is not going to marry the girl every one thought he intended to take, but I tell you it was a narrow escape. We all thought the grass widow had him sure." Nobody seems to talk much of any thing these days but Red Cross mem bership. It was the principal subject of discussion at the party yesterday. barring the topic of the most recently announced engagement, and one of the young matrons who is actively en gaged in the campaign for tne one thousand members of the Red Cross society in this town, is working like a Trojan to round up six girls every day to serve in the stores, where regis tration books are kept. One morn ing she called thirty gtrls on the tele phone to arrange for that service. It is really remarkable w-hat hard work society women will do for a cause that enlists their interest. It proves them efficient and willing workers; for in spite of their pretty clothes and their luxurious homes and their love ot tne butterfly life, they can get down to business and grub away at what is aty too often a thankless task. But this paragraph started out to say that those who wish to Join the Red Cross can tell those at the regis tration tables in the stores that they want to become members, and those girls have receipt blanks right at hand and can write out -a receipt for the payment of $1, which is the amount of the membership fee. Uniting with the society does not obligate a member to give any time or work to the cause, unless she wishes to do so. Also any one w-ho has agreed to join and has not yet paid the membership dues, may pay the dollar at Pelletier's, Crosby Brothers', or Warren M. Cros by's, where the the girls are stationed with books. The Red Cross work is for every one who will join. There are jio cliques or sets, either in the member ship or the management, but it is open to all who have an interest in its aims. The Girls' High School club of the Y. W. C. A. will meet Friday after noon at 4 o'clock at the home of Miss Gladys Pratt, 833 North Jackson street. The officers are Miss Isabel Whitcomb, president: Miss Neva Shoe maker, vice president: Miss Marian Ross, secretary; Miss Ruth L-errigo, treasurer. There are 180 members of the club. Miss Frances Perry is chair man of the student committee, and Miss Clare Armstrong is secretary of the girls' work. The annual track meet of the gym nasium classes will be held at 7:30 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. Two or three contestants from each class will enter the contests. Some aesthetic dances will be given, and each class will assist with the stunt program. Miss Kate Williams is director. The cast of the play, "Spring," giv en by the Girls' club, had a picnic party Wednesday Slight at Gage park. Mrs. Howard Van Dorp entertained the H. H. Birthday club Wednesday at a 1 o'clock luncheon and cards. Mrs. H. P. Tillmans and Mrs. L. G. Ham mond won prizes. Those present were Mrs. Will Hopkins.

The outstanding feature of- the second phase of the Arras battle is that the British defi nitely established an artillery and ae rial superiority and thus have been able to maintain a successful offen sive, said Alaj. Gen. F. M- Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office in his weekly talk to the Associated Press today. General Maurice declared the Ger mans had drawn on their strategic reserve and brought up great new forces in an attempt to stem the on slaught, but that the British machine was working without a hitch.. The German losses had been terrific .nd thousands of dead Germans,, he said, were lying in front of the British lines. In the 18 days of the Arras battle. General Maurice continued, the British casualties had been something les3 than half what they were in the corresponding period of the Somme offensive while the numbers of pris oners and guns captured by the Brit ish forces were much greater than in the same period on the Somme. j 1 1 North Side News 1 Many persons are predicting that the truck gardeners who make it. a business every year of selling their I product on the streets from wagons, will have a hard time this spring and summer in finding a market for their wares. The reason lies in the fact that fam ilies that have any backyard space are planting their own gardens. The num ber of persons raising vegetables for their own. use far exceeds the num ber for any previous year. War times and the expectation of war prices to gether with the warnings of state and national authorities -have stimulated "domestic agriculture" on a scale hitherto unknown. The large Production resulting promises to make common garden products very cheap this year in' spite of war times and speculators.

Kept Trying to Recapture Knoll Until Forces AViped Out. Hritish Front in France. April 26 via. London. The town of Monehy Le Pretax, which lies about five miles east of Arras, will stand out in history as one of the bloodiest spots of the world war. The lighting north, east and south of this little Artois village, perched upon a high knoll, has ex ceeded in intensity any of the individ ual struggles of the Homme. Kfforts of the Oermans to retake the village apparently have subsided on account of the sheer exhaustion of their avail able forces. The British advance eastward of Monehy continues slowly but surely. The ground around Monehy as far as can be seen is covered with the dead, the Germans at times, having employ ed their old tactics of attacking in ma.ss formation. Worse Than Soinme or Verdun. Letters taken in the last two days from German prisoners, written in front of Monehy say they regard the situation as worse than it was on the Somme, while the casualties are mounting up as at Verdun. In one the opinion is expressed that what has made the fighting difficult has been the fact that the opposing forces have not occupied fixed lines, but are scat tered in half built trenches on this part of the front. During one German counter attack Monday a force of 700 Germans took one bit of trench from a British out post. The Germans continued to press forward, not noticing that they were passing an isolated trench sec tion on their right. When they were well beyond it several hundred Brit ish soldiers poured out of this trench section and the Germans, trapped be tween two lines, were absolutely wip ed out. It was a general melee in which the cries of the men engaged hand to hand could be heard plainly. The number of prisoners this week amounts to more than 3.000. There is absolutely no index of the casualties inflicted on the enemy. The fighting is too thick for the most part to per mit individual surrenders. 4,000 Mowed Down. Finding Monehy too difficult the Germans next directed a counter at tack on Oavrelle. where the last de fensive line before the Drocourt switch position had been pierced. Four thousand men were seen form ing for an attack at a distance of 4.000 yards. British field guns mass ed in a great number were trained on the Germans dui ineir lire was held until the advancing enemy Was about 2.000 yards away. Then a per fect hurricane of fire was opened and shrapnel shells played about the ad vancing column like fireflies in a summer thicket. The on-coming waves trembled for a time and then broke, completely routed. Their path was strewn with dead and wounded. 40 Planes Down in a Day. Again today the siesk. where forty enemy planes were brought down yes terday, were battlefields for scores of fiehts. Literally hundreds of ma chines twisted and turned and clucked and jumped in battle or in scouting. Mastery of the air has been obtained by the British in this section and it is seldom that a German plane is encoun tered except far over the enemy's ter ritory. Encounters yesterday, before Mon ehy. were so breathlessly dramatic that armies on the both sides then battling in one of the fiercest encounters of the war literally stopped a moment to watch the duel. Three miles up, looking for all the world like a couple of tumbler pig eons, were the adversaries. They had approached near each other by suc cessive dashes from behind creamy, puffy clouds. One of the birds was easily recog nizable later as a star of the German air forces. The aviator's machine was especial ly marked, showing fie had been re warded for previous victories. Oppos ing him those on the British lines knew was one of their own "stars" a boyish officer. Flyers Felpn Falling. The two machines came close to gether, swirling and turning exactly like tumbler pigeons. For twenty minutes the two looped and charged and circled, diving, headlong one min ute, sweeping almost straight upward the next always one after the other in hot chase. Presently one bird the German Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive, soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa ter and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hatr and scalp thoroly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex cessive oil. The hair dries quicklv and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last every one in the family for months. Advertisement.

Apparently he was struck. But suddenly, after half a mile drop, tumbler pigeon-like, he spread out and swooped upward dart ing at the other. But the English flyer dropped too. He tumbled head first into space, his machine dropping like a streak 'of white. And after a breathless instant, he, too, slid safely into the horizontal again and swooped upward in chase. Time and again the two fighters re peated these falls "playing dead." They came nearer the ground, neither having the advantage. Finally, so close the markings on th3 German ma chine could be seen, the two parted back to their respective lines. GAGE0N 'VOLUNTEERS' System Would Favor Kaiser, Well Known Topekan Assert. To Editor State Journal: It is a question -whether ignorance of the facts or stubbornness in follow ing a wrong" course once taken impels the editor of the morning paper to re peat the false statement that 'the vol unteer system has enabled the United States to win every war in which she has fought.' This country has been engaged in only two great general wars involving all our resources; the war of the revo lution, waged to establish the union and the so-called Civil war, waged to maintain the union. Both of them were made successful by aid of mili tary conscription. In the spring of 1863 volunteer enlistments had practically ceased. President Lincoln urged upon the country the necessity of a draft and congress readily assented. Under this law General Frye, who had charge of its enforcement, ,ut one million one hundred thousand soldiers into the union ranks. Had it not been for this law our cause would have lost out and the union would have been disrupted. At the time of the passage of this law there still existed a strong union senti ment in the north but the question arore: "Why should a few of us enlist suffer all the risks of war at nominal pay, while the great majority remain safely at home making money and reaping the rewards of our work? We are ail-equally interested in a common cause which is of vital moment and each should share alike in the risk. There is only one means by which this can be brought about and that is by draft. Then the shirkers and copper heads will be forced to take an even chance with us." This argument is as conclusive when applied to the present situation as it was then. Lincoln in his appeal said: "Those who desire the rebellion to succeed are opposed to the draft" and it may be said with equal certainty that those who desire the kaiser to succeed are today opposed to the draft. Why? Because it is certain to bring results favorable to the allies. The South made its gallant strug gle in the Civil war because universal military conscription prevailed among the whites: and Kngland, with some of her provinces, is making her pres ent great effort by aid of a social con scription, more effective than any law. If there is a general sentiment in favor of the volunteer system as against selective military conscription, then why do not the six hundred thousand volunteers who are being called to fill up the ranks of the national guards and the regular army flock to the standard? NORRIS I. GAGE. INTENDED TO RETREAT Keep Fighting Iine Moveable andt In tact, Germany's Plan. Amsterdam. April 26. The entente's heaviest attacks have failed; German yielding at certain points has been in line with a definite plan of keeping the fighting line moving. This is the critical explanation of western front conditions made today by the critic. Major Moraht, in the Berlin Tages Zeitung. Dispatches from Berlin quotes his elaborate ex planation in part as follows: "The Germans aim even at the cost of abandoning their dead and some material, to even portions of their positions and to maintain their own strength while destroying the enemy and preventing his breaking thru. Hence there is the necessity that we keep the fighting line moveable yielding at some points furnishes op portunities for destructie counter-attacks. This aim has so far been fully attained. The first and greate.it en tente attacks have failed. Further attempts will be made, but our confi dence is undiminished." CHINA BOY SAVVY GOD? Surprises Attorney With Invitation to Ilia Lecture on Divinity of Christ. Denver, Colo., April 26. The life cf a county attorney in Denver is a hard, hard road to travel, anyway. But the crowning ignominy has been heaped on Con K. O'Byrne who is Irish, as his name implies. O'Byrne suspected that a Chinese witness, being sworn in police court did not realize the meaning of the oath he was taking. Sell Lung, known as the "mayor" of Denver's Chinatown, was the witness. Bu O'Byrne didn't know this. "China-boy savvy God?" he queried as Lung took the oath. "Mr. Attorney, if you mea.n do I un derstand the entity of our Creator, I will ismply reply that on next Sunday night I shall address a body of my fel low countrymen tipon the subject of the divinity of Christ, and shall be pleased if you will attend." replied the Chinaman in perfect English.

PEOPLE EAT ALFALFA Scientists Now Able to Make' Palat able Floor Out of It. Lawrence, Kan., April 26. Alfalfa flour, a latent food source that has been impractical because of alfalfa flour's strong weedy' flavor and green color, is giving way to science in ex periments in the department of home economics of the University of Kan sas. These experiments have elimi nated both objections and "alfalfa" bread and biscuits of fine flavor and quality and high food value have been made in the department. The bread has none of the "weedy" taste of previous flours and the green color is entirely absent. This was ac complished by dissolving out of the flour the chlorophyll or coloring mat ter, said Prof. Klizabeth Sprague, head of the department, who directed the experiments. Chemical analysis showed that the bleached alfalfa flour lost none of its food properties by the process. The very restricted food variety the poor have these days means that their food lacks necessary mineral or ash constituents. Miss Sprague said. These constituents are lost to some extent by milling wheat flour. Alfalfa flour has them and puts them into the bread. When the same quantity of alfalfa flour was added to whole wheat flour the mineral content was increased about 30 per cent and the protein con tent about 110 per cent, making a much more nutritious bread in each case. Mixed with corn meal, alfalfa flour increased the protein content even more, about 35 per cent, and the ash content about 50 per cent. In any case the ffjod value of the bread was much higher, said Miss Sprague. BIG TEMPLAR MEETING Field Meet Was the Day's Feature in Ijuvrcnce Affair. Lawrence, Kan., April 26.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. With the British Armies in the Field, April 26. The smashing effect of British artillery and its demoraliz ing influence cn the Germans continue to be the theme of deserters and pris oners confessions, soldiers' diaries and reports of officers. "'From 11 a. m. until 5:30 p. m- the trench lay under a heavy and very effective fire which continued with out a stop," wrote a company com mander at the Thirty-first infantry regiment of the Eighteenth division in his report which was captured with the writer. "Nothing is left of the trenches and the dugouts are so much damaged that they cannot be used. The location of our dugouts must be ac curately known as shell after shell bursts right on top of them, or quite close by. Also between 10 and 11 p. m. the enemy's artillery of both me dium and heavy caliber shelled the trench with unprecedented violence. Enemy Airmen Superior. "Enemy airmen hovered over our positions the whole day and came down very low. They directed the fire thruout. Our own artillery seem ed to have fired very little. German airmen appeared jnly towards evening but the enemy's airmen would not let themselves be disturbed in their work Nothing is left of the trench. "The enemy appears to be using a new type of gun and shell. A red flame is visible but we cannot hear the report of the gun. The shell bursts "with an explosion resembling that of a mine and the destruction area of the burst is large. I consider it my duty to draw the attention of the bat talion staff to the fact that, in the event of a bombardment of equal in tensity tomorrow, no dugout will be left to provide shelter."

Hecould not know that through it all he would remain as simple, as democratic, as he was that day as a boy on the Mississippi. MARK TWAIN He made us laugh, to that we had no time to see that his style was sub lime, that he was biblical in simplicity, that he was to America another Lincoln in spirit. To us, to every one in the United States, he was just Mark Twain well-beloved, one of ourselves, one to laugh with, one to go to for cheer one to go to for sane, pointed views. Now he is gone, the trenchant pen is still. But his joyous spirit is still with us. Mark Twain's smile will live forever. His laughter is eternal. H Wu a Great Man; So His Work are Great The road ahead of that boy on the river bank was a hard one.
