Bright humorous repartee as far as the work is concerned, and seriousness when their attention was centered on the real work of the or ganization that is soon to come, were both displayed in healthy proportions. Russians Are Coming. A message was read at noon today announcing the proposed trip of a corps of Russian and Belgian commis sioners, headed by Special Ambassa dor Hakmetff and Baron Mouchour thru the western parts of the United States. The message was sent to C. K. Bascom from L. M. Aljen of Chi cago. Following is the message: "C. E. Bascom, Topeka. Kan.: Rus sian and Belgian commission, headed by Special Ambassador Bakmetff and Baron Mouchour. will tour west only visiting cities extending invitation, which will determine their route.

Taking advantage of the informa nt n the Chamber of Commerce agreed to send an invitation to the commis sion for a visit to Topeka.

The commission will probably reach Topeka within the next week, according to the Chamber of Com merce. Rev. Edmund J. Kulp made the fifth of his rousing talks at the noon session today. Ten dollar million aires, sacrificing shop girls and me dium contributors or moderate cir cumstances were all handled, rough, gently and otherwise. "The man who refuses to contrib ute to the Red Cross deserves compar ison with the devil," the Rev. Mr. Kulp said. "He should be boycotted in business and cast out of society. H should be either purified by the intensity of public contempt or else his nothingness be burnt by the flames into still greater nothingness. H. Trapp carried the idea still i further and made a motion that all names of business houses be publish-! ed with a blank following the names! of those who refused to contribute to the cause. Delay on this was sug gested. "The day of the war Is here," Re,v. Dr. Kulp continued, "and it is not a day to consult one's own personal selfwh interests but those of a nation, of a world and of his brothers sons." He said it is no time to consider self interest. It is not a charity, it is our country's call. Pitching his voice high he ejaculated: "We should have no dealings, no commerce with those who refuse to contribute to the Red Cross.." May 'eel More. With the campaign so far advanced, the Rev. Mr. Kulp this noon prophe sied that after .he $100.000,000( was raised and partially used in se'rving the stricken soldiers, the deepening intensity of feeling on the part of true Americans will put another J100.000.000 back of the original con tribution.

SUFF PICKETING OF WHITE HOUSE ENDED BY COPS But Militant Dames Put Game Finish Fight. Up Finally Pickets and Banners Are Carried to Jail. nfJIJCE m f VAIN Menace Removed After Two Days of Near Rioting. Suffs Argue Constitutional Rights to Bitter End. Washington, June 22. Police to day put an end to all suffrage pick eting of the White House. Following two days near-rioting, Major Pullman issued strict orders against permitting the militants to flaunt their banners or to stand be fore the White House. Shortly after the issuance of the order, three patrolmen and two po licewomen after trying peacefully to dissuade Miss Lucy Burns, a militant leader, and Miss Catherine Morey of Boston from unfurling a big yellow banner before the White House gates, arrested them and took them to head quarters. Cling Desierately to Banners. The women clung desperately to their yellow banner bearing a quota tion from one of President Wilson's speeches on democracy. "You must move on," said the patrolman. "You can't stand here with it'a priVate property," said Miss Burns. "We will keep it. It is private and we have the right to stand here. Our position is logical and constitutional. Yours is illegal and unconstitutional." (irowa Pale and Fights. The second policewoman tried to get Miss Morey. a frail, little girl, to give up the fight. "No, I won't," she said, her face growing pale. "You have no right to do this." The two policewomen took the suf fragists and their banner in charge. Bright and early today militant suf fragists braved the chance of fresh attacks against their banners before the White House. Before the removal order was is sued th3y had the protection of picked policemen with heavy night sticks, who kept big throngs moving along the avenue. The banners, which roused the crowds the past two days had been re placed by less violent ones early to day. Meantime District Attorney Laskey is said to have been informed by men who wanted warrants to arrest the pickets that the stories of trouble be fore the White House would sooner or later reach Germany and could there by garbled into reports of food riots before the president's mansion or in attacks upon him. War "Comfort for the Enemy." The state of affairs, the men said, was distressing to this nation and could easily be distorted into "com fort for the enemy." The big yellow suffrage banners, blazoned before the gates early today bore extracts from President Wilson's speeches concerning democracy but omitted the charge that "Wilson and Envoy Root were deceiving Russia by calling America a democracy when its women could not vote. Alice Paul Bawls 'Km Out. Pullman served formal notice on the women at 9:30 that they could not continue their picketing. Then he strung a line of patrolmen and policewomen from suffrage headquar ters a block away from the White House up to and along the avenue, on which the mansion fronts. "The period of leniency has passed." he stated after issuing this order. The orders against picketing came as a direct result of conference be tween Pullman. Inspector Grant and Miss Alice Paul, slim frail, leader of the "cause." Just what she told the officials was not made- public immediately tho there were suggestions that her re marks "were such as to startle the nation." Suffs To Be Tried Later. The arrested suffragists were re leased shortly after arriving at police headquarters. Before being freed they were warned against further attempts to picket. The women were charged with ob structing traffic and told they would have to apear later to defend the charge. The police told the two women that other charges might be made against 'Continued on Page Two.) C0NTRACPT0 TOPEKAN Swanson Brothers to Build Santa F"e Depot at Valley Falls.

Override Firm Protests of Gov ernor and Mayor. PROTECT 8,000 RECRUITS Many Unhoused While Spacious Homes 'Are l7ntena"od. Immoral Resorts and Bootleg gers Flourish Unrestricted. BY GEORGE MARTIN. Newport, R. I., June 22. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived here today, threat ening to clean up Newport. He took a hurried but searching glance at the town mostly famous for being the summer habitat of the Four Hundred; talked with some navy de partment and other government offi cials and then announced: "Governor Beekman and Mayor Burdick- don't know what they are talking about if they deny Secretary Daniels's charges of immorality here. I have myself seen the evidence gath ered by agents of the department of Justice and it is convincing. The sit uation is directly up to the governor and he will be given every opportun ity to correct it." There is a direct issue between Sec retary of Navy Daniels on the one hand and Governor R. Livingston Beekman and Mayor Clark Burdick on the other. Daniels demanded a clean up of disreputable houses, imperiling the morals of America's choicest lads gathered in the naval reserve, and transmitted to the Newport authori ties scornful criticisms of the lack of adequate housing facilities accorded these 8,000 boys. His personal inves tigator is Roosevelt. Gov. and Mayor in Angry Denial. Governor Beekman and Mayor Bur dick angrily deny all the charges. Housing and moral conditions about the reservists have probably improved since the first influx began in March. VV nile probably no recruit today is without shelter of some sort, soacimis nomes and commodious outbuildings of wealthy Newporters remained com pletely closed boarded up ,at a time during March and April when immv boys from comfortable homes thrnofct tho nation were forced to wallt the streets night and day. iyvof hese hmes remained locked, barred and beared up entire ly unoccupied even today when in previous months they might have af forded habitation for fine, clean boys from good families whose patriotic response .to the call for volunteers concentrated there here. Instead of these unoccupied homes, the recruits were housed i -..r. tents," in hotel corridors, or on the bare boards 6f ihe armory and other ,uuui; UUUUlIlgS. Town Generous to Reoroita. Governor R. Livingston nppkmnn summed up the general view of the elect in Newport today, when he ex plained: 'I would not consider it Riimriinp that the owner of a fine home wouia not wish to turn it over to a lot of raw recruits. "It is true that a large number of wealthy Newporters' summer cot tages remain closed and have "not been offered to the recruits but you must remember that in most instances owners live far away and come here only in summer. "However, the townspeople have been exceedingly generous and many homes have been thrown open to the recruits." Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster, an executive officer of the Newport Red Cross, agreed in part with the gover onr and added that she knew of no widespread suffering in Newport. "But as to the moral conditions of Newport," she said, "despite the vio lent protestations of the governor and the mayor, they are bad." Dozens of Houses of III Fame Newport admittedly has four reg ular houses of prostitution in opera tion. There are many walking boot leggers who make a specialty of sell ing liquor to recruits, some towns people do not hesitate to say that there are dozens of disreputable houses situated among the exclusive cottages of Newport's social elect. And they add that naval guards sta tioned there to keep recruits away sem to "go blind" when naval men walk in. "There are individual cases of vice demanding attention every day," said Mayor Burdick, "but the general situ ation is not bad." On downtown streets, the United Press correspondent learned from townspeople that there were admit tedly several shops in Newport where a recruit might hire civilian clothes, leave his uniform and then sally forth to delve into the town's pleasures. Sale of liquor to men in uniform is, of course, forbidden. REPORT FOR HARVEST! State Free Employment Bureau Sends Out Kansas Notices. With the harvest season in Kan sas less than ten days in the future, c. H. Danner'of the state free em- ployment bureau, is sending out no tices to persons who wrote to the de partment asking for harvest positions, informing them where to report for work. Mr. Danner says there will be no shortage of harvest hands in Kan sas this summer. He has received word from the Oklahoma depart ment of labor that 3,000 harvest hands who have about completed the wheat harvest in that state are ready to move into Kansas Mr. Danner has written to the Oklahoma bureau in forming it to send the men to the following counties in these numbers: Pratt county. 1.600; Stafford county. 200; Kingman county, 600. and Mc Pnerson county, 250. DOCTORS, NURSES FROM U. S. TAKE OVER HOSPITALS Americans at Once in Charge of Thousands of Wounded. Relieve British Staffs for Duty i earer Battle Front. ALL UNDERJi. SJjEQ GROSS Each of Six General Hospitals Capacity of 1,400 to 2,000. Stars and Stripes and Union Jack Flying Side by Side. British Headquarters in France, June 22 (By the Associated Press). Quietly and with very little ceremony, so as to escape practically all but of ficial attention. American doctors, nurses and enlisted men have within the last fortnight taken over six of the British great general field hospi tals, releasing the Britisn stans tor duty near the front. American sur geons have rendered valuable aid also in the forward casualty clearing sta tions during the battle of Messines. This has been the quickest organized aid the United States has given Brit ish arms in France and has been greatly appreciated. The Americans have been much im pressed by the cordiality of their wel come as well as by the thoroness and effectiveness of the British hospital system. So smoothly have the trans fers been made that the Americans have taken up their new work with out even a moment's upset in the routine of the various hospitals. The Stars and Stripes fly with the British union jack from each hospital flag staff, the two ensigns fluttering side by side in the cool breeze that sweeps in from the sea. Nothing Lacking in Operating Rooms. The British select sites with the greatest care and have developed them with a completeness that has cbme from nearly three years' field experi ence. Some of the general hospitals are made up of tented wards accom modating forty to sixty beds each. Others are constructed of a series of huts and other styles are models of field comfort -and convenience. The operating theaters are splendidly built and seem to lack nothing in the way of modern surgical equipment. Originally planned i tor 1.04& beds eaoh the general hospitals have been practically all enlarged to 1,400 beds each and during a crisis can accom modate 2,000 patients.

PLACED AT 42 MILLION BU. State Raises a Record Oats Crop This Year. That Is Shown in Mohler's June Crop Keport Today. YIELD TO BE 70 MILLION BU. Barley Crop Much Larger Than Last Year, Figures Show. More Wheat Abandoned Than Estimated in April. The smallest winter wheat yield In Kansas since 1896 and the largest oats crop in the history of the state are predicted today in the June crop re port issued by J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture. j Mohler predicts a yield of 16,000,000 bushels of barley. The corn report will be issued tomorrow. Correspondents writing to Mohler estimated a probable yield of approxi mately 42,000,000 bushels of winter wheat in Kansas, or an average of 11.8 bushels to the acre on the 3.526,320 acres now reported as left standing. This aggregate of wheat is about 2, 000,000 bushels more than the May forecast, and the average yield, per acre. 1.8 bushels higher, while the I area left standing is less by about 400,000 acres than reported in April. This year's crop is 68 per cent less than the state's output of last year, and is the smallest since 1896. With the official returns from as sessors received from 90 of the state's 105 counties, Mohler discovers that the area sown to wheat last fall was much more than previous estimates by correspondents had indicated, or a to tal. of approximately 9,500,000 acres, by far the largest in the history of Kansas. Growers now say that of the area sown nearly 63 per cent was a total failure, as against 55 per cent reported in April. Abandoned Acreage Larger. Additional abandoned areas, since April, are reported from the western counties, many reporting the wheat as practically a total loss, as it is in a number of the north-central counties. Recent hailstorms destroyed much wheat, in the southwest especially, and hot winds last week in several of the south-central counties caused damage. Insects have been conspicuous because of their absence. There is less evi dence of the Hessian fly this season tAr i. j verai years past.

Big Oats Crop. The prospective yield of oats aggre gates 70,354,709 bushels, exceeding the best prior year, 1888, by 16,000, 000 bushels, and surpassing the crop of 1916 by 41,000,000 bushels. A rec ord area of 2,225,414 acres was sown last spring, much of it occupying abandoned wheat ground.

The roll of registration for the selective draft was completed today when the two lagging states Wyoming and Kentucky wired their complete returns. The grar.d total of names on the "roll of honor" is 9,649,938. The to tals are to be submitted to the census bureau for a close analysis to deter mine why certain western states showed a registration of only about 50 per cent of the estimate, while other states notably Ohio, Michigan, Wis consin and Montana ran far over their estimates. Provost Marshal General Crowder considers the returns practically a 100 per cent registration. With the addi tion of the eligibles already in the army and navy who were not required to register, the total will be brought well over 10,200,000 estimated by the census bureau. Run Down the Slackers. "Piercing publicity" is being used to round up the few remaining evaders of registration. For those caught, a stiff jail sentence is waiting. Provost Marshal General Crowder today directed the registration boards to post a complete alphabetical list of the men registered in each precinct. He urged that the newspapers print the roll of honor of those already reg isterel. Tne general public and the registered men are expected to watch for any conspicuous absences of names and report them to the authorities. Agents of the department of justice will do the rest.

U. S. OFFICIALS ORDER DRYDALE WIPED OFF MAP Department of Justice Will Clean Lp the Town. Liquor Faucet of LeaTenworth .Must Be Shut Off. TOWN DISGRACE TO STATES John Barleycorn Herels Hare Made It Notorious. Selling: Drinks to Soldiers Sealed Doom of Tlace. Washington. June 22. The days of Drydale, the Barbary coast of Kan sas, are numbered. The department of justice today di rected the United States marshals ot Kansas and Missouri to clean up tho town wherein for many years John Barleycorn has been intrenched in de fiance of laws of the two states. Th action by the government is duo to disrespect for orders given saloon keepers against selling liquor to sol diers. Officials of the department of Jus tice have directed federal agents to make the town bone dry. Plans for doing this, it was announced, will be discussed at a conference of federal officials, including the marshals of Kansas and Missouri, and Leaven worth city officials next week. Drydnlo Wet Paradise. Drydale is a little town across the Missouri river from Leavenworth. It is connected with the Kansas town and army post by a toll bridge. Practi cally every one or its business nouses are saloons. Because of its nearness to prohibition territory the saloon keepers have struggled to the last, de fying the Leavenworth officials and government agents in order to perpet uate their existence. The history of Drydale dates btclc to early Kansas prohibition. When th state legislature voted the state dry, a half dozen or more saloonkeep ers established liquor houses there, and it was in this way that the town first existed. Its history has been as stirring as any frontier town. When it was young, lawlessness ran ram pant. Such events simmered down event ually to where Drydale simply served as a liquor faucet for thirsty Leaven -v orth and its adjoining territory, in cluding the army post. Drydale, on a Saturday night, al ways presented a scene that was sel dom equaled anywhere in the United States. Laborers, Mexicans, Italians, business men and army officers min gled together in revelry. Women were also there. Their clothes were gaudy, their laughter shrill. Cosmopolitan Crowd. Japanese and Filipinos also sprin kled the crowds with their presence. They came from the army post where they were servants for the army offi cers. Not in all the west could a more cosmopolitan crowd be found. Uncle Sam, however, in launching his plans for the raising of the giant army for European service changed his way of doing things to the extent that he began to look out for his sol diers morals. Strict orders were giv en the saloonkeepers forbidding them to sell soldiers liquor. The orders were ignored. Soldiers crossed the toll bridge as before and came back stag gering. Then Leavenworth got busy. No tice was served on the town that there might be such a thing as its losing the army post if Drydale was not abol ished. The city ever since has been fighting the town strenuously. Re cently, the National Anti-Saloon league meeting in Topeka sent a peti tion to congress asking the place be wiped out of existence. Drydale Friendless. Wrlth the morals and physical wel fare of American soldiers upon whom a nation is depending for existence at stake, Drydale didn't have a friend. Everyone turned upon it, cursed it and declared it would have to go. Gov ernor Capper condemned its exist ence. And so, in the order issued today by the department of Justice, there is the written epitaph of Drydale, the last frontier Intrenchments of John Barleycorn in his siege along the northeastern border of prohibition Kansas.

"ation Concentrates Hatred Against British Enemy. VAIN SEPARAflfPEACE HOPES Covet Settlement With Russia, France and Italy. Admit It's Conquest of Who'll Be Starved Out First. Copenhagen, June 22. Berlin and all Germany is submarine mad. Men and women with their faces pinched rty lack of adequate food are heroic all and sinsle-mindedly fixed in their belief that the thousand or more un derwater craft which the public is now led to believe Germany has in the war zone will win for the kaiser. No dis comforts incident to achieving that success are too great to be borne. This is the picture of Germany, from the German viewpoint, which the Lnited l'ress is able to present to- day. The information was contained in a letter received here today by a Danish resident with close friends in high official positions in Berlin. De spite all difficulties of food supply, the writer said the German public had complete confidence in the U-boats' mastery of the water. Not Anxious to Fight V. S. 'Every one believes England's de feat is the prime consideration,' the German writer declared, "Germans regard England as the one nation re sponsible for prolongation of the war. The German government, the navy, the army and the people are not anx ious to start open hostilities against America. England is Germany's main enemy and Germany thinks thru the submarines she has found the weapon which will bring England to her knees. "The public expresses regret that English women and children will have to suffer thru lack of food but it re members that the German women and children have been suffering for a lonK time on account of England's starvation blockade of Germany. Food Shortage in Germany. "Of course, there is suffering here thru lack of adequate food. The chil dren are growing thinner. All our face are pinched except those of the food gi afters and there are plenty oi these. It is true that we have only enough it live on. But we are goiri tn go ahead and we are watching daily the work of our submarines. In the meantime we have cheering nev3 of vegetables and cereals that will be plentiful soon. Also our meat ration has been increased and we are told the toll of the submarines will be in creasingly large. "We do not know what will happen in Kussia. fcihe may make a separate peace, in which case Germany would easily be able to lend her plenty of money even billions. Italy would undoubtedly make a separate peace likewise, if Russia took this step -because Italy fears for what the Aus trian troops might do on her borders if they were released from the Rus sian front. With this, it seems prob able that France might also agree to peace on certain favorable conditions, which Germany would be willing to grant. Under such circumstances no body thinks England would be foolish enough to stick in the war alone, or with the United States. If England did. Germany could literally put a steel net of submarines around the British isles and starve them out. It would not take more than a few months, either." ADDS TO VICTORY A. P. Bulletins Can't Be Copied by Hearst Papers. New York, Juno 22. The United States circuit court of appeals has extended the scope of the injunction secured by The Associated Press against Hearst's International News Service &o as to forbid the latter or ganization from using Associated Press news appearing in early editions of newspapers, or newspaper bulletin boards featuring Associated Press dis patches. Judges Rogers and Hough signed the majority opinion of the court. Judge Ward dissented. In the majority opinion, the theory was held that there is property value of distinct character and that the As sociated Press should have the full benefit of this property right, even aft er publication of the news in early newspaper editions or on newspaper bulletin boards. The injunction prev iously granted the Associated Press restraining Hearst's International News Service from utilizing Associated Press new prior to publication, was extended to cover the new ground.

This statement from an active Red Cross worker probably represents the mental attitude of a large number of Americans. To really get the "feel" of France to day imagine New York were Paris. There would be days of crashing bands and flying banners: glittering detach ments of cavalary with hundreds of horsetail streamers floating out from gold helmets; aeroplanes and dirigibles buzzing overhead: transport motors rum bling and Red Cross ambulances speed ing in and out of every street: organs and orchestra in the churches and cathe drals playing stately marches and brill iant fanfares on the fHe days, soldiers com lDj and soldiers going; color musio drama thrills. If New York were Paris there would be signs on some of the white marble mansions, "Hospital Auxiliary 117," or "The Re-education of the Mutilated." or "Hospital for Men Blinded In Battle." The mirrors of some of the brilliant cafes would reflect aproned women sort ing and packing bandages, blankets, shirts, pajamas; typewriters for the bookkeeping on the dining tables; tins of ether, labelled, ready for sending, on the bar.

President Wilson has given his support to Sena tor Pomerene's resolution to empower the government to fix coal prices. After a conference today between the president and the senate a meeting cf the senate interstate commerce committee was called for tomorrow to consider the resolution. It proposes that for war purposes or other emergency, the federal trade commission shall be authorised to fix coal prices and, in event of disagree ment with the operators, the govern ment shall take over and operate coal mines with an arrangment for fixing compensation of the operators at a later day. President Wilson, according to Sen ator Pomerene, is "in full sympathy" with the objects of his resolution, be lieving the coal situation acute anu prices far too high.

HER LOVE FATAL Kills Wife Who Wouldn't Sur render Husband. Then Teacher Fails in Attempt To End Her Own Life. WRITES OF ETERNAL TRIANGLE In Letter Tells Wife-Rival of Her Illicit Lore. "Didn't Intend To Kill Her; I Lost 3Iy Head." Waukesha, Wis., June 22. Miss Grace Lusk, high school teacher, who yesterday shot and killed Mrs. Rob erts, wife of Dr. David Roberts, former state veterinarian, and then tried to kill herself by sending two bullets into her body, probably will recover, physicians said today. Doctor Rob erts, who arrived at the house soon after the shooting, asked Miss Lnsk why she had killed his wife. 'I did not intend to, but Just lost my head when she said i could not have you," she replied. To Dr. R. E. Dairies and Chief of Police McKay Miss Lusk said: "I am sorry for Mrs. Roberts. I hojJte my wounds are fatal. I never thotight I could do it. I loved Doc tor Roberts and want him now and always." Set Conference Over Husband. Mrs. Roberts went to the home of Miss Bianca Mills, where Miss Lusk lived, to keep an appointment with the latter. After Mrs. Roberts reached the Mills residence she called her hus band on the telephone and asked that he come ana Be present at the confer ence between herself and Miss Lusk. When he reached the house fifteen minutes later, he found his wife dead. District Attorney Tullar said that from letters belonging to Miss Lusk ne was led to believe that she intended to commit suicide but not murder. Writes Wife of Her Love. A letter evidently written by Miss J-usk to Mrs. Roberts, while the for mer was making a visit to Chicago recently, was made public. It read: "It has been a desire with me for a long time to tell you frankly about the state of affairs between Doctor Roberts and myself. I have asked him repeatedly to tell you the whole story but you seem to have him ter rorized to a pitiful degree. If I were to blame you for any one thing it would be for that. You must have known for many years that there did not exist between your husband and yourself the honest confidence that is essential in the higher state of mar riage. "You must have known for a long time that your husband's affections had passed from you: that he cared for someone else. That is sufficient annulment of any marriage vow that ever was given.

Pullman granted them time to get counsel and they re turned to suffrage headquarters where Miss Burns declared that the police had violated her rights inasmuch as peaceful picketing was proper and that it had been in efTect since Jan uary 9 without interference. While the women were, under ar rest, other women at their headquar ters prepared a denunciatory Russian banner of canvas which could not be easily torn but Miss Alice Paul indi cated that the picketing would cease for the time being until a test had been made of the present case. Seeks to Embarrass Government. The reason for the police order to day became apparent when Miss Paul detailing her talk to Major Pullman admitted that she had said she wished to "articulate the unrest in this coun try on the suffrage question," and that if this effort to promote unrest em barrassed the president, then the fault was the government's and the women would continue their work. "Did you tell Superintendent Pull man you wanted to embarrass the president?" Miss Paul was asked. "Yes," ane replied, then corrected that sufficiently to explain that if her efforts to express the nation's unrest on suffrage was embarrassing, they would keep on with the embarrass ment.

The Herald says: The advance in coarse grains yesterday was a surprise to. the traders Id general con sidering the heavy load put upon the mar ket Wednesday. Close students of market conditions find It difficult to tell how the stuff disappeared on all breaks but It dropped out of sight. Numerous buyers who thought the traders too bearish on the previous day and took hold on the decline, took profits on yesterday's closing advance. At the close trade was mixed on corn and mostly bearish on oats. On all good breaks of late foreigners have bought corn and oats liberally for export and resulted in rallies. Stiff bids were made by the seaboard yesterday for cash corn. New York bid 25ijc over July for July shipment aud Baltimore bid 178 for the same shipment. Bids of 25c over July were msde for corn delivered at the seaboard by Sept. 20. Traders regarded short selling of Septem ber under snoh conditions as hazardous.

For home improvements or buying a home we have Mcincy to IiOun. Let us help you. Capitol Building Loan Ass'n 534 Kansas Ave. BUILD HOME HERE Knights and Ladies of Security Decide on Topeka Site. M ill Build Handsome Structure at Martin's Hill. TOPEKA G1VES315 ACRES Land Donated to Organization Valued at $50,000. Hard Surface Koad Will Be Built to the Home. Topeka was chosen as the site of the Knights and Ladies home and hospital for the aged and orphans of their organization at a meeting of the home commission of the Knights and a committee of the Chamber of Com merce Thursday night. The Chamber of Commerce, spur red on by offers frcm Cape Girardeau. Mo., and several other towns, offered the organization a 315-acre tract at Martin's Hill, including portions of the Sherman farm, Martin Hill tract and the Walker place. The home will probably be started within the next three months. The Knights and Ladies have prom ised the city and the business men of Topeka to erect four buildings on the site, costing between J500.000 and 81, 000,000 within the next thirty months. The initial expenditure for the build ings will amount to $350,000. The present plans of the organization calls for the erection of four buildings, an administration building, hospital, or phans' home and home for the aged. New Hard Surface Road. From an unofficial understanding between the county and the Knights and Ladies a hard surface road will also be among the improvements that the home will bring to Topeka. Wil liam A. Biby said this morning that altho there was no official agreement between the society and the county, that such a road would in all prob ability be included in the inducements offered the organization. An oiled boulevard to the home was offered by CaVe Girardeau. Mo., which was v 1 1 r. .7, uuacoi iiTui iur iiie iiome. The land donate tn lho TTrticrtito i eludes 315 acres of the choicest land in the state, lying partly on the high crest of Martin's Hill and partly in the low rich river bottom valley land. One hundred and eighty-five acres were given from the Martin Hill tract, 80 acres from the Sherman farm. 10 acres from the Walker place and 25 acres sliced from adjoining farms to complete the requested acreage of 315 acres. The estimated value of the land is $50,000. The tract selected is the one on which an eastern syndicate, in plan ning a model addition to Topeka, spent $80,000. Cedar groves, broad ave nues and sidewalks were included in the improvement made by the eastern concern before their project failed. These improvements will all be used in the planning of the home of the Knights and Ladies. Site an Ideal One. 1 Mr. Biby. national treasurer of the organization, said this morning: "A better place for the home could not be found in the country. The selected site is truly the Garden of Eden finished with the American frills. The Knights and Ladies of Se curity wiiih to express their deepest thanks for the favor that the city of Topeka thru the Chamber of Com merce has bestowed upon the organi zation. In time we will make the business men of Topeka, as well as the residents of the community, more than proud of their service to the Knights and Ladies. We will do everything within our power to show our appreciation of the favor and in time we will make Topeka proud of the home." The benefit to Topeka of having the home in her vicinity cannot be measured in dollars and cents nor in persons. Thousands of persons will be attracted each year to visit the home and Topeka. Merchants will profit and at the same time Topeka will be advertised extensively by the organization. SUFFRAGE OFFICERS Mrs. Charles H. Brooks of Wichita, Named President. DESERVES GOLD MEDALjFOR THIS Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn so it lifts out. J You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops'Of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain. A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the sur rounding tissue or skin. Advertisement-

The last act of the Kansas Eaual Suffrage association before the close of their convention Thursday was to place in office the following women: Mrs. Charles H. Brooks of Wichita, president: Mrs. W.

"HHATEVtl YOU WANT TO KNOW." The Topeka State Journal Information Bureau at Washington furnishes readers, free of charge, accurate and authoritative answers to questions 011 any and all sub jects concerning which information can be had from the unparalleled resources of the various federal government depart ments and the great library- of congress. A cent stamp for return postage must accompany each Inquiry. State clearly the Information wanted, write plainly auu I'l'l'TOPFKA STATE .TOfRNAL, IN FOI'.MATIOX BUREAU. Washington, I. C. President Wilson has issued a call for volunteers. He asks that 70,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45 rally to the colors next week. An op portunity Is here given for the oppo nents of the selective draft to put to shame those who feared for the suc cess of a volunteer system. On the theory often urged that a volunteer army of half a million could be raised over night, the 70,000 vacant places in the army should be filled the first day. Hut setting aside all possibilities anil probabilities. Uncle Sum needs sol diers and needs them now. Delay in yetting them is a serious matter. It is the first direct call to the colors that the president has made. He must not be permitted to call in vain. It must not reach the ears of the kaiser that the head of a nation of 100,000,000 people called for 70,000 volunteer soldiers and could not get them. I'.ally around the flag. Down in Memphis somebody has stulen the police patrol wagon and the "force" is taking a vacation until it is found or replaced. A policeman was found drunk on his beat in a prohibition Tennessee city and the local paper says there was a grand rush of thirsty citizens for Jobs on the force. The natives of Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey now residing in the United States aggre gate approximately 4,662,000, or about 4 per cent of the total population of the country. In view of these fig ures it is not remarkable that our munition factories are blown up. The government is buying woolen socks for its soldiers. This is a short sighted policy. Wool is scarce and Is needed for other purposes. Anybody who has worn both woolen and cot ton socks knows that those made of cotton are much warmer and in every way more comfortable. The United States Steel Corporation has given a great impetus to the en deavor to place the finances of the Ued Cross on a solid basis, by declar ing an extra dividend of 1 per cent, 'hich It calls upon its stockholders to donate to this great war charity. The example is already being fol lowed by other companies, and if the request be heeded, the Red Cross will receive great additions to Its fund. It will be a fine thing when the present campaign for a fund of $100,000,000 is closed if It can be said of it, as of the liberty loan, that it has been enor mously oversubscribed. The Associated Presa cablegram an nouncing that the American sailors of the destroyer flotilla are teaching their British colleagues to play the national game leaves it open to doubt whether 1-ineball or poker is meant. A magazine writer calls attention to the fact that while many women earn good sal.-ries, few accumulate any considerable amount of money. The answer is easy. They don't want to pile up a lot of money for some worth less husband to spend. The United States is about to place an embargo on the shipment of food products to European neutrals. This should have been done long ago. We have been feeding Germany thru ex ports to Switzerland, Holland and the Scandinavian countries. Cutting off of these supplies should have a tendency to hasten the end of the war. Los Angeles newspapers are apolo gizing for the heat by reminding vis itors that it is worse where they came from. For a real summer resort cli mate they should come to Topeka. Our entry into the war established a new need for exercise of economy, but thus far people have done little except talk about it. On the theory that the way to economize is to be gin, the third assistant postmaster general has issued at. order to post masters and postoffice employes, as a measure of economy to encourage the public to use stamps of the high est denominations suited to the amount of postage required on each letter. For example, a 2-cent stamp instead of two 1-cent stamps should be affixed to letters needing 2 cents postage, and a 10-cent stamp instead of five 2-cent stamps to be attached to parcels requiring 10 cents postage. The order states that the wide adop tion of this practice will effect a con siderable saving to the government in the cost of producing, transporting and cancelling stamps. It is also stat ed that the benefit will be especially important to business concerns mail ing large quantities of letters and par cels. THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. What is the national anthem of tlie United SI ates This is a question that seems to be puzzling many people, judging by the number of inquiries on this point coming to the State Jour nal Information Bureau at Washing ton. At times it almost reaches the proportions of a dispute, one side maintaining that "America" is our na tional anthem, the other saying that it is the "Star Spangled Banner." This is a point of some importance to the man who dines in restaurants and cabarets, because he has to know when to stand up when the orchestra is playing patriotic airs. The United States, says the Infor mation Bureau, has never legally adopted a national anthem. The "Star Spangled Banner" is usually so con sidered, however. Where the Army Regulations call for the "national an them" the "Star Spangled Banner" is played, and the same practice obtains in the navy. A bill was introduced in the last congress to make the "Star Spangled Banner" the national an them by law, but it failed to come up for action. In the meantime there are still many people who champion the claims of "America." One should al vays stand when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played, and it is correct to do the same if one wishes on the playing of "America." It is considered probable that the present congress will take some action on this question when more important business has been- attended to. All signs point to the adoption of the 'Star Spangled Banner" as America's official national anthem. The principal cause of allied suc cesses on the western front appears to be that Generals Haig and Petaln force the Germans to fight where and when the allies choose without giving the enemy a chance to initiate any thing. The Germans are kept busy preparing to defend themselves against attack at first one point and then another along the line. Any de sire to break thru the enemy lines is not apparent in the British and French tactics. Their aim appears to be to push back and wear out their opponents. In this there is abundant evidence that they are succeeding. WORK Or THE UEI CIIOSS. Subscribing $100,000,000 to the Red Cross by the people ots the United States, means only about $1 per cap ita of the population. The wealth of the country in cash alone is approx imately forty times that amount. In time of peace the American Red Cross, in no very pretentious way, lends itself to sufferers from :-ucU af flictions as floods and famines. In time of war heretofore it has co-operated with the army ,and navy in the care of the wounded. In this war, however, its activities are to be great ly extended. It is to look after not only the wounded soldiers, but those on leave as they go back to rest from the strain of service at the front, and it proposes to keep an eye on the fam ilies of soldiers. Even after peace. It is said the American Red Cross In tends to take up such new work as the relief of Serbia, and it is to send hospital units to Russia, as well as to France and Belgium. The field for its beneficence is prac tically unlimited, and the funds to be put at its disposal cannot be too large, The work of the society in time of war is summed up by the Memphis Commercial Appeal as follows: The Red Cross is a supplemental hranch of the medical corps of the United States. It is also a relief branch. It is also a social branch of the government. The Red Cross gets hold of a boy who has been shot in the knee, and by careful attention makes It so that the boy's leg does not have to be ampu tated. The Red Cross gets hold of a young man who is wounded and dirty. The quick attention of the Red Cross pre vents gangrene and consequent death. The Red Cross gets hold of a young soldier who has been knocked out by a splinter of a shell. That young man must be very carefully nursed. The Red Cross service probably saves his life. The Red Cross supplements the work of the field physician and han dles that young man with such care that the attention itself is the thing that throws the scale in his favor. The Red Cross provides for the starving in the immediate region of the war, because of the destruction done by war. The Red Cross brings into an order ly system all the agencies for relief and for comfort.that humanity dic tates. The Red Cross cuts down the loss of life from wounds 50 per cent. The Red Cross will send back home to his parents alive and well many a boy who, under the ordinary treat ment, might perish. The regular army medical staff wel comes the Red Cross, and regards It as one of the tremendous assets the United States will have in winning this war. The Red Cross service also prevents epidemics. It looks tut for poisoned water. It stamps out typhus. It will stop smallpox. The Red Cross is the angel forfend ing the victim from the outreachlng hand of death which sweeps over 1 every battlefield. Bedtime Stories I BY HOWARD R. OASIS Uncle Wiggily and the Baby. "Well," said Uncle Wiggily Long ears, the rabbit gentleman, to himself, as he stood in (he middle of the woods and looked around. "I don't seem to be going to have any adventures today at all. I wonder what's the matter?" Something was wrong, that is cer tain. The bunny uncle had been hopping along all the morning, and part of the afternoon, and not a single ad venture had he found. Almost always something happened to him, but this time was different. He had not met Alice from Won derland, nor any of her queer rela tions, and Uncle Wiggily had not seen any of his animal boy or girl friends. so the rabbit gentleman was begin ning to feel a bit lonesome. Then, all of a sudden, before you could count a million (providing you had time and wanted to). Uncle Wig gily saw, fluttering from a tree, what he thought was a flag. "That's queer," he said to himself, only out loud. "I wonder if any of my mosquito enemies have made a camp there under the trees, and are flying the flag before they come to bite me? I'll go closer and see." Uncle Wiggily was very brave, you know, even if he only had his red. white -and blue striped rheumatism crutch instead of the talcum powder popgun that shot bean-bag bullets. So up he went to where he thought he saw the mosquito enemy's flag flut tering, and my goodness me sakes alive and some chocolate cake ginger snaps! It wasn't.the mosquito flag at all, which shows that we -ought never to be afraid until we are sure what a thing is and sometimes not then. "Why, it's a lady's veil!" cried Uncle Wiggily, as he looked at the fluttering thing. And, as he said that someone, who was sitting on an old iog, turned around, and there was the Wonderland Duchess herself the queer, stout lady wh loked like a barrel of flour very rich, you know! "Oh, heilo. Uncle Wiggily!" called the Duchess, who is a sort of princess grown up. "I'm glad to see you. I have a friend of yours here wan me!" "Po you mean Alice?" asked the bunny. "No, this time It's the Baby." answered the Duchess, and then Uncle Wiggily saw that she had a live baby in her arms upside down. I mean the baby was upside down, not the arms of the Duchess, tho per haps it would have been better that way. "Bless me!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "That's no way to hold the child." "Oh, indeed!" said the Duchess, sort of sniffing proud like. "Then if you know so much about holding babies, take this one. I have to go make a rice pudding," and before Uncle Wiggily could stop her she tossed the baby to him as if it were a ball and ran away, crying: "Rice! Rice! Who has the rice pudding?" "Oh, my!" Uncle Wiggily started to say, but that was all he had time for, as he had to catch Baby, which he managed to do right side up. This was a good thing, I think. "You poor little dear!" cried the bunny uncle as he smoothed out the Baby's clothes and looked around for a nursing bottle 90 a rattle box. And as he was doing' this," and while the Baby was frying to close its lips, which it had opened to cry with when it found itself skedaddling thru the air while this was going on, some one gave a loud laugh, and Uncle Wiggily. looking around in surprise, saw Alice from Wonderland. "Well!" said the bunny. "I'm glad to see you, but what is there to laugh at?" "The the baby!" said Alice, sort of choking like, for she was trying to talk and laugh at the same time. "Why should you laugh at a poor baby, whom no one seems to know how to care for?" asked Uncle Wig gily. "Oh! But look what it's turning into!" said Alice, pointing. The bunny uncle looked at what he held in his arm. It was wiggling, twisting and squirming in such a funny way, squee-geeing its dress all up around its face that for a moment Uncle Wiggily could not get a good look, but, when he did, he cried: "My goodness me sakes alive and some bacon gravy! It's a little pig!" And so it was! As he held it the baby had turned into a tiny pig, with a funny nose and half-shut eyes. "Bless my rheumatism crutch!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "What made it do that?" "Because it's that way in the book where I came from," said Alice. "You read and you'll see that the baby which the Duchess gives me to hold turns into a little pig." "But she gave it to ME to hold!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "It's much the same thing," spoke Alice. "As long as it's a pig it doesn't matter." "But dear me hum suz dud!" cried the bunny. "I don't want to be carry ing around a little pig. Of course I like pigs, and I'm very fond of my friends Curley and Squeaky Twisty tail, the little irunters. But this baby pig And, Just as Uncle Wiggily said that, who should come along but a bad old skillery-scalery hump-tailed alligator, walking on his hind legs, with his two front claws stretched out in front of him. "Ah, ha!" cried the bad alligator, who had promised to be good, but who had not kept his word. "Ah, ha! At last I have caught vou. Uncle Wig gily. and Wonderland Alice, too!" He was Just going to grab them when the little Baby Pig, who had been squirming very hard all the while, finally squirmed out of Uncle Wiggily's paws, fell to the ground, and then, running right between the legs of the alligator, as pigs always do run, the squealing chap upset the bad, un pleasant creature, knocking him over in a frontward somersault and also backward peppersault. "Oh. my goodness!" cried the skillery-scalery alligator. "I'm killed!" Which he wasn't at all, but he thought so, and this frightened him so much that he rah away and didn't catch Uncle Wiggily or Alice after all, for which I'm glad. And if the luppy dog doesn't take all the bark off the sassafras tree ano leave none for the pussy cat to polish her claws on-, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the Mock Turtle. (Copyright, 1917, by McClure News paper Syndicate.) dinner'stories In Washington two women hired a broken-down old "night-liner" and paid the Jehu his dollar for their ride with the following coins: A twenty five cent piece, three dimes, five five cent fpieces and twenty coppers. After regarding this miscellany for a moment the driver showed all his teeth in a grin and asked whimsical ly: "Well, now, ladies, how long you all been savin' ap for dis nice little treat today?" Everybody' EVENEN BlOm J The I-Don't-Care Girl. (By Earl Reed Silvers.) Jim Nicholas stood on the porch of the Country club, his eyes following the figures of Margaret Randolph and Dick Willever as they merged into the darkness of what was known as Lov ers' lane. He watched them until they disappeared into the shadows, and then, with a sigh, he turned and made his way to the swinging couch. The porch was deserted. From within the club came the sound of soft music, but even as Jim listened the strains died away, only to be fol lowed by a burst of enthusiastic hand clapping. The music began again, louder, more insistent, and Jim smiled unconsciously as he recognized the tune. The orchestra was playing "Keep Your Eyes on the Girlie You Love." "Well," Jim thought to himself rather bitterly, "that's just what I have been doing, but when the girl you love takes a moonlight walk with another fellow, it's better not to have any eyes." He smiled grimly. Only the day before he had told Margaret that life without her would be hardly with the living. The scene came before him now with startling vividness. They had been sitting on the steps of her house; the moon had risen early, and one stray moonbeam had slipped thru the thick foliage of the spreading oak over the porch and had crowned Mar garet's piquant face with an aura of silver. "Margaret," he had said suddenly, "I I love you." She had looked at him for a mo ment with startled eyes and then the peal of her hearty laughter had sounded discordant with the silence of the evening. "Jim," she had said, "you' don't mean it, surely? Not you?" "Why not me?" he had answered resentfully and ungrammatically. "You knew it was coming, didn't you "I don't know whether I did or not." She seemed to have taken the matter lightly. "But, Jim, why do you love me?" she had questioned. "Because I do," he had answered sullenly. "Don't you care at all?" The moonbeam had disclosed a hint of laughter in tier hazel eyes. "I'm known as the 'I-don't-care girl, she had replied; "and. to tell the truth, Jim, I don't know now whether I care or not." "Is it because of some one else?" he had persisted. The laughter had died from her eyes, and she had faced him seriously. "Perhaps it is," she had answered. "Two years ago, when Dick Willever went to New York to get rich and famous he asked me if I would wait for him, and I told him that I would. It wasn't exactly a promise, but it was half a promise and tomorrow night Dick is coming to the dance at the Country club." "And you think, maybe, that you care for him?" "Maybe I do; but tomorrow I'll know, and then I'll give you your answer Jim had gone home directly after that.- A street -organ -on the corntrr, had played "Last Night Was the End of the World," and Jim hum-ned the tune with a grim realization of the aptitude of the words to his own case. He had somehow managed to live thru a day of mingled doubt and misery, but in the evening when he had called at Margaret's home in his runabout the girl had met him with a smile in her eyes. She had acted as if there was not a care or a trouble in the world. Jim had danced the first waltz with her, and after that Dick Willever had made his appearance and had led her off through the shadows of Lovers' Lane. It seemed to Jim as if they would never return. Dick had chang ed considerably since he had left Glen wood two years before. The frank ness of his eyes had disappeared, and in their stead had come a look of craftiness which was anything but re assuring. His clothes were just a tri fle too gaudy and his voice Just a shade too loud. Jim hoped, with aHl the sincerity of his loyal heart, that Margaret would notice the change. Suddenly he espied them walking slowly up the lane. He noticed, with a sigh of relief, that they were walking farther apart than the occasion de manded, and as they drew nearer the club he noticed, too, that Margaret's head was held a little higher than us ual, and that her eyes were turned away from her companion. Jim arose as they approached the porch and offered his arm to Mar garet. With a brief nod at Dick, she accepted the proffered arm and ac companied her escort Into the club. The orchestra struck up "Auf Wied ersehen," and together they glided around the polished floor. When the dance was concluded, Jim led the way to the swinging seat on the porch. "Well?" he said questioningly. "Well, what?" "You said that you would give me your answer after you had seen Dick again. You've seen him, haven't you?" Just the shadow of a srnile played about her mouth. "Yes, he's rather good-looking, isn't 'he?" she parried. Jim's spirits sank suddenly. "He's very good looking," he an swered honestly. "A blame sight more so than I am." "Well," Margaret remarked non committingly. "There are looks, and then there are looks." Jim glanced at her quizzically, but her face was impassive. T don't think it's quite fair to be putting me off like this," he said. "Surely my question deserves an an swer." For a mtfment the girl was silent; then she turned impulsively toward her companion. "Do you know what Dick and I were talking about during our roman tic walk?" she asked. "Of course not." "We were discussing another girl." "What other girl?" "The one he is going to marry." "What!" Jim's heart broke the worlds record for a long-distance leap. "Yes," Margaret continued calmly. "He told me that Glenwood had grown provincial to him since his experiences in New York, and that this town and the people in it were not quite the kind he is accustomed to. And then he told me that he had met Nellie Graydon, an actress, in New York, and had asked her to marry him." "What about his promise to you "He had forgotten all about it." For a moment Jim was silent; then he ventured a glance at the girl beside him. The old I-don't-care look was in her eyes. "What do you think about it?" he asked. Margaret tossed her head contempt- INTERNATIONAL 1MB AT. SCHOOL LI BY W. T. For June 24 is "The Purpose of John's Gospel." John 21:15-25. The Man Who Saw Thru Things. A few minutes ago I talked with a man of the type of those who see big things in a little way. He is essen tially a pettifogger. It is well that he is not a lawyer, for he would be one of tl e sort who have construed the law into a complexity of snares and sub tleties and technical enactments chief ly useful for defeating essential jus tice. It is a relief to turn from the ir ritations of a small-minded man to the contemplation of one who had sweep and breadth of vision, and whose flashing eye penetrated to the heart of things and discovered what really matters. In literature and her aldry, this man's symbol is the far visioned eagle. For it is of the Apos tle John, the Beloved Disciple, I write, whose message in its entirety is the tl.eme for present study by the mil lions of the Sunday school. Nobody has time nowadays for musty tomes dealing with outworn is sues. This is the hour of the living present. We are all eager for light on our own troubled day. The world's quest is for a trail thru the tangle of t'-ings. Everybody is open-eared to hear the man with the master word, who can tell us something about the ultimate meaning of this cataclysm hich has overtaken mankind. Of books upon the superficialities of the situation we have more than enough. We crave a word of life, that will steady our nerves and guide our feet, and make us to see the end of it all. That is just the sort of book this man John wrote. Millions of men and women, whose hearts have felt the personal touch of the war, are turning daily to this old volume for light and comfort. It helps them more than anything else. For John, the sturdy fisherman who shared with his brother the title, "sons of thun der," saw beyond the day's common round, beyond the severing of families and the abandonment of one's calling, beyond the breaking up of the old or der and the old system of thinking, beyond suffering and shame and death itself, into the Ultimate Reality, where reigns the will of God and the now triumphant Christ, It is not to be forgotten that this biographer whose work we have been studying with such delight and profit was also the Seer of Patmos, the revealer of the eternal mysteries; and the interpreter of the pre-existent Word. A Friend's Perfect Tribute. Learned savants have produced a mountain of commentaries upon this Gospel of John. We do not turn to them today. Simply and naturally, and according to its most obvious meaning, we accept this great book as the perfect tribute of a real man, whose hand God guided, to the Friend whom he had known and loved. Be cause John was closest to Jesus on earth, his biography enables us who live today to get "Close to the very heart of the Christ. This is the supreme commentary upon the Fourth Gospel millions of persons turn first to it to find, in glowing, pulsing reality, the person ality1 of t",e Saviour. With consum- knaate skill, John lets- us into the very secret or the Friend who is the soul s Boon Companion, and who under stands us when all others walk aside from us in misunderstanding or ig norance. Somehow, John introduces us to the ever-living Christ who alone can feel with us and for us. He en ters into the secret of the apartness and loneliness and craving of our hungry hearts. "There Is 8 mystery In human hearts, And tho we be encircled by a host Of those who love us well, and are be loved, To every one of ns, from time to time, There comes a sense of utter loneliness. Our dearest friend is stranger to our Joy, And cannot realize our bitterness. 'There is not one who really understands. Not one to enter Into all I feel;' Such is the cry of each of us Id time, We wander in a solitary way. "No matter what or where our lot may be Each heart, mysterious even to itself, Must live its Inner life in solitude. And would you know the reason why this is? It is because the Lord desires onr love. In every heart He wishes to be first, He therefore keeps the secret key himself. To open all its chambers and to bless. With perfect sympathy and holy peace Kach solitary soul who comes to Him. So when we feel this loneliness it is The voice of Jesus saying. Come to me.' And every time we are not understood.' It Is to call to us to come again; For Christ alone can satisfy the soul. And those who walk with Him from day to day Can never have a solitary way. "And when beneath some heavy cross you faint. And say, 'I cannot bear this load alone. You say the truth. Christ made it pur posely So heavy that you mnst return to Him. 1 The bitter grief which 'no one under stands." Conveys a secret message from the King. Kntrenting you to come to Him again. The Man of Sorrows understands it well. In all points tempted He can feel with you. Vou cannot come too often -er too near. The Son of God la Infinite in grace. His presence satisfies the longing soul. And those who walk with Him from day to day Can never have a solitary way. A Man Who Knew the Facts. Many books a recent meaty little one by Robert E. Speer being one of the best have shown that the Fourth Gospel bears all the marks of an eye witness record. The allusions to time, to places, to local usages, all testify to the intimacy of the writer with the actual scenes he describes. He was not only present wherever any other one of the friends of Jesus was for John belonged to the inner cir cle of three but he also had a spir- uously in the irresistible manner which had first attracted Jim. "Oh," she answered evenly, "I don't care." She tried to glance away, but Jim, suddenly bold, took her cheeks in his hands and faced her about until she looked fairly at him. "Is it because you've stopped caring for Dick and have begun to care just a little for some one else?" he asked. The girl's answer was so low that he could hardly hear it. "No," she whispered.- "It's because I've begun to care lots and lots for some one else." Jim glanced around hastily. The porch was deserted, the moon had lost itself behind an obliging cloud. "Do you know, Margaret," he said, "I think I'll kiss you." The girl moved Just a. fraction of an inch nearer to him. "I don't care if you do," she an swered happily. And the moon lost itself still fur ther in the intricate mazes of a hov ering cloud. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ELOS itual understanding of the deeper sig nificance of the words and deeds of the Master. Altho the most spiritual of the four biographies of Jesus, this gospel never becomes so transcendent that it is incomprehensible. Mysti cal, it is true, yet it never is unreal and unearthly and vague. A very vivid personality is that which John por trays as Jesus; so that one poet, Mary Davis, exclaims of Him: "I am so glad He loved the common things. The drowsy chicks beneath their mother's wings. "Tall lilies nodding at the folks that pass, The handiwork of God among the grass. "The sparrows and their brothers of .he air. Content to look to heaven for food and care. "He loved to stray by wooda and singing rills. Companion of the stars and solemn hills. "His friends He chose from men of low degree. Tillers of land and tollers of the sea. "These things are written on the sacred page, A star to simple folks from age to age. "And as the glowing words of love we scan. We feel His kinship to the heart of man." The "Why" of a Great Book. Men who balk at the deity of Christ are coerced to repudiate the Gospel of John. For it cannot at all be accepted, unless the reader is will ing to receive his presentation of Jesus as the One altogether unique. The sublime Figure who walks thru John's pages is not merely a rare teacher, a noble idealist, a loving and unselfish helper cf His fellowmen, and a supreme aspirant for the life that is divine. He is none of these things if He is not also what else John de clares Him to be; for His own claims are clear, strong," unequivocal and absolute. Jesus would have to be branded as an imposter, on the testi mony of John, if He is not what His biographer asserts, the very Messiah of Jehovah, the Saviour of mankind. To set forth the Saviourhood of Jesus, and His divine mission as the sent Son of God, is the one overmas tering purpose of this latest of the four gospels. The author leave no room fbr doubt or surmise on this point. He himself tells why he wrote the book: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life thru His name." Everything in the volume is but evidence and support of that gen eral proposition. Passionate lover of Jesus that he himself was, John aspired to intro duce his dear Master to k all who should read his book. He sought not only to convince their minds, but also to set their hearts aglow. So he has been, thru the centuries, the best friend and aider of all who would live in the spirit; and experience the very love and life of Christ. Instead of musing here, as one is tempted to do, upon what this book has meant to the saints of nineteen centuries, let us merely recall the all-important truth that our own dazed and heart-bruised day needs above all else, to make ex plicable these world events which are overwhelming us. the message of a Christ who is God; who was from the beginning and is to continue in in creasing sovereignty to the end of time. His will is working out, at sore cost, as nations undertake to protect and perpetuate and increase the prin ciples of Jesus on earth righteous ness, good will, brotherhood and lib erty. As we come into Christ's king dom may we come into close touch with the kingdom's Christ. Fellow ship with Him. and assurance that His will is being done, will sustain one thruout whatever experience the war may bring. "My bark is wafted on the strand By breath divine. And on the helm there rests a hand Other than mine. "One who was known in storms to sail I have on board Above the roaring of the gale I have my Lord. "He holds me when the billows smite; I shall not fail. If sharp, 'tis short; If long, 'tis light He tempers all. "Safe In the land! safe in the land! The end is this. And then with Him go, hand in band Far into bliss." A Weak Spot in Nation's Wall. Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People's Societies -Christian En deavor, etc. for June 24: "Mis sion Work in Our Cities." Ps. 87:1-7. The city is one of the big modern problems. It is so vast, so intricate, so unknowable a thing tha usually only phases of it are considered at a time. Some speakers talk of the city when they only mean partof it that is given over to poverty and vice. Others have in mind only the principal "down town" portions, when they talk of the city; meaning thereby the main thoro fares, the hotels, the big stores, the places of amusement and the railway stations. Still others regard the city in an entirely material sense its buildings, its industries, its wealth. A city is all these and much more. And in any light it is worth studying as the greatest, albeit perhaps the most perilous, product of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Of late years the churches have made a vigorous effort to grapple with what they call the city problem. Church extension and city mission committees, of varying efficiency, are common in all denominations. Preach ing places, which commonly develop into full-fledged churches, follow the growth of population. Rescue mis sions are maintained in the congested sections. The foreign population is given special attention. Nevertheless, city mission work may still be said to be in an experimental stage. Nobody thinks that the remedies equal the needs. There is a vital something still lacking; so that the life of the average city may fairly be said t be less re ligious than the life of the same num ber of persons in the country. The religious forces ,of North America are only now awakening to the importance of one of their great est problems; namely, how to merge the vast alien population into the Christian life of the new world. Frankly, only the most shallow and most perfunctory efforts had been pot forth, until quite recently, toward the solution of this question. Nor has there as yet appeared any adequate, statesmanlike method of dealing with the immigration problem. The new firing line of Christian progress is in the city. There center the problems that are likely to give the twentieth century the greatest concern. The congested and con glomerate character of certain large sections of most modern municipali ties has created an entire new set of social problems. Some of these are so grave as to alarm thoughtful citi zens. Political economists are point ing out that the next generation will have to face difficulties far graver than any that confronted the pioneers who made two great nations on this western continent. So long as the slums are regarded as slums their problems will never be met; but when once they are seen as collections of neoDle. with the same instincts, impulses and deeds as other people, there is hope for helping them. God himself is not interested in "the masses"; He knows all His sheep by name. The divine art of brothering one's fellowmen; that is the only way to win lithe battle of tho alums A common colloquialism of more than ordinary expressiveness describes the defeated in life as "the down and out." These abound in the congested portions of the city. They sprawl on the benches of the public parks, doze in rescue missions, huddle around the radiators in cheap lodging houses, 01 stand at the door of the liquor saloon. Some of their stories are romantic and tragic beyond novelist's telling. I said. "Let ns walk in the field." He said, "No, walk in town." I aaid, "There are flowers there." He said, "No flowers, but a crown. I said, "But the skies are black: There is nothing but noise and din"; And he wept as he sent me bsck "There Is more," he said, "there is sin. I said, "But the air Is thick And fogs are veiling the sun," He anawered, "Yet souls are sick And souls in the dark undone." I said, "I shall miss the light And friends will miss me. they say. He answered, "Choose tonight If 1 am to miss you or they." I pleaded for time to be given. He Baid, "Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in heaven To have followed the ateps of your guide. George Macdouald. BREAK UP TRUST Publishers Demand Federal Board Smash Paper Makers. 1 Frank Walsh Files Graye Charges With Commission. Washington, June 22. Attorney Frank P. Walsh, acting for paper con sumers, today filed charges with the federal trade commission demanding that It immediately exercise "the pow er conferred on it" to break up "an il legal combination arbitrarily fixing prices of news print paper." Walsh declared that if this alleged trust is allowed to continue opera tions, "hundreds of publishers thru 01 the United States will have their businesses destroyed." He predicted elimination of a "free press" altogether, pointing out the manufacturers could control the news papers. Walsh urged the commission to serve complaints on each of the firms named immediately and urged speedy public hearings. At the same time Walsh wrote to the commission, naming the following paper manufacturers as alleged price fixers: E. W. Backus, Minnesota and On tario Power company; George H. Mead, Spanish River Pulp and Paper company; P. T. Dodge, International Paper company; Alexander Smith. Abitibl Paper Power company and George Chahoon, jr., Laurentide company. His letter alleged they "conspired to control the newspaper print indus try; increased prices by restricting competition, circulated false state ments of paper shortage; divided the United States into territorial divisions for systematic exploitation of paper consumers, limited paper production and created a fictitious demand for it, falsely claimed car and coal short ages, violated contracts and fixed prices of $3.25 per hundred pounds and upward for paper, whereas $2.50 per hundred pounds was enough."

Before a great throng in the gal leries and on the floor. Baron Mon cfceur. chief of the Belgian mission to this country, related his story of bit terness and misfortune. "It is only my great, desire' to ex press my gratitude which all Belgium feels toward the American people and their government that permits me to speak today," Mor.cheur said in open ing.

But Belgians still say, like Patrick Henry, 'Give me liberty or give me death.' Will Emerge From Tomb! "The hour will come, materially hastened by the powerful aid of the United States, when Belgium, restored to full and complete independence, will be able to thank in a fitting man ner all those who have aided her to emerge from the darkness of the tomb into the glorious light of a new life." Upon conclusion galleries and senate arose and a great cheer went up. Members of the commission then greeted senators individually before leaving. Vice-President Marshall, in troduc ing the visitors, prophesied "Belgium shall rise. The long night of her weeping shall end." Speaking of the German treaty vio lation, he said: "When a man gambles with truth and honor, the dice of the gods are always loaded." May Tour Midwest. Baron Moncheur is planning a tour of the middle west to express Bel gium's gratitude to the American peo ple for their practical aid in caring for the homeless Belgian refugees.

Special $6.75 HAY HARVEST IS ON Big Crop Raised In the Vicinity of Hcrndon This Tear. Herndon. Kan., June 22. Farmers are In the midst of hay harvest. The crop and yield of alfalfa is large, this having been one of the best years in this locality for the growth of this cereal and oats and barley. There will be considerable wheat harvested. Corn is backward, and the farmers say there is plenty of time yet to grow a big crop. The town people have all grown vegetable gardens. Malone and Wenzel, proprietors of the Herndon Milling company, report the largest business in the history of their milling enterprise. Senator James Malone of the firm is pleased with the firm's business and the pros pects for abundant crops this year. Senator Malone has been successful in farming as well as his milling indus try and in honorably serving the peo ple of his district in the state senate. Herndon people are looking forward when they will be made a freight division on the B. M. railroad. Plenty of good water, big business in receipts and shipments, and the early extension of this B. M. branch to a western connection is sure to bring Herndon a division. The Nonpareil never misses an issue and keeps pushing and boosting for Herndon. The town looks thrifty, and in every issue of the paper the items are full of boost. Editor and Post master Roberts deserves the hearty support the people give him. In building, the two lumber yards are having their hands full supplying building material. Several residences are un.ler way, and other are getting ready to build. It looks good to see nice prospects for crops and a spirit of building activity. One thousand women last year attended the twenty-six economics schools held in Kannns. DRY, SUNNY WEEK Winds Canst? Damage in Western Half of State Is Report. for YOUR PROTECTION POST TOASTIES are wax-sealed to keep them good Dry. sunshiny veather was general in all parts of Kansas for the week ending June 19, according1 to the weekly summary of weather and crop conditions in the state issued by the 'section center of the weather bureau J here Wednesday. Tho the warm j weather was general the first and last days of the week the nights were un seasonably cool, tho very pleasant. AJontmuing, the report says: "Fully nine-tenths of the state re ceived no rain at all or less than a measurable amount and the showers that fell over the remainder of the state were too light to be of conse quence. In the eastern part all crops made a fine growth but dry weather and hot winds caused a great deal of damage in the western half. "It was especially favorable weath er for wheat, oats, barley and rye, except in the western counties. Wheat harvest has beun in the counties along the Oklahoma line, east of the middle of the state, and the crop is beginning to ripen in all the north eastern counties, where harvest is not more than a week or two distant. The Hessian fly has infested fields in the south-cential portion but has not caused much damage. "Oats have headed short as a rule but improved materially this week and are showing signs of ripening in the south-central counties. In the western counties dry weather has damaged oats so seriously that some of it is being used for pasture. "Corn is backward, but its color has improved and it has grown well this week. The dry weather was fa vorable for cultivation, which was badly needed in many places. In the southeastern counties corn has been gone over two or three times and in the northeastern and central counties it has been cultivated at least once. Grain sorghums also are being culti vated but the stands of this crop, as well as of corn, are iinitftfactory in PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS Ask Your Doctor About Vm DRUGS AND TOILET GOODS The Modern Drue Store CUT-RATE 500 West 10th.

"The Birth of a Nation." is being placed in the hanas of the two Shawnee county district Judges toiiny. Since 9 o'clock today John Schenck and E. D. McKeever. attorneys for the Sherman-Elliott Film company, and John Hunt, rep resenting the attorney general, have been arguing over an application filed bv Hunt for an injunction. Judge A. W. Dana and Judge O. H. Whitcomb are both sitting on the case. Tiy letter and telegrams the attor neys for the film company have at tempted to show that the action of the Htnte board of review, in recalling th: film after it had once been ap proved, was due to pressure brought to bear by etate officials. The letters, were intended to show that a matter Of politics was involved in the board's second thought. McKeever a YVUneHH. K. D- McKeever was placed on the maml by Schenck and questioned as to Ids knowledge of the approval given by the board. McKeever stated thatj he was at the projecting room in Kan. j Fas City when the film was exhibited! before the board; that Mrs. J. M. j jHilltr. chairman of the board, told i him the picture was wonderful but that she did not think it wise to have I it exhibited in Kansas at that time.! However, he said, she look the matter under consideration with the other twti members of the board and later informed him at the Baltimore hotel! that it had been approved with cer-j tain eliminations. I The eliminations were made, he said, in the projecting room in his1 presence. The order of the board was complied with in every particular he said, and the hoard receipted for mon ey paid by the film company as a fee. The receipt, which wa. read in court, pave the company permission to ex hibit the film in Kansas with the eliminations noted. Then letters were read, letters writ ten by Charles Sessions, private secre tary to the governor, and by (iovernor Capper. The Sessions letter was written while the approval of the lilm was still a mere "rumor" in To peka and the Utter so states. The letter from (Iovernor Capper ex presses surprise that the picture should have been approved. Then the letter written to Mc Keever by the board withdrawing the ap or ova I was read. It was made to appear that the withdrawal immed iately followed the receipt of letters from (iovernor Capper and Charles (Sessions. So much testimony has been intro duced in the case today that it is probable the court will take the whole matter under advisement. Mean while the picture will not be shown in Kansas. Loth judges have taken con siderable interest in the hearing and have asked numerous questions. Hour Down 50 Cents More. Minneapolis, Minn., June 2U.

Two robbers fought a pistol battle with citizens of Waynesville, county seat of Pulaski county, for half an hour early this morning while a third blew the safe in the bank of Waynesville. Ten charges were necessary before the door of the safe was blown off. The entire gang, keeping up a run ning fire, made for their automobile and escaped. Sheriff Baker and a posse took up the pursuit in an auto mobile and are reported to have over taken the bamdit car and two of the fugitives near Mountain Grove, fifty miles away. They surrendered with out resistance. About $1,000 of the loot reported was recovered. The hills are being searched for the third robber. The gang apparently divided the booty whije on route to Mountain Grove, one of the men jumping out and making for the tim ber with his share. It is understood that none of the citizens were-wounded in the battle at Waynesville. They were forced to withdraw at one time when all ran out of ammunition. The robbers before entering the town cut the telephone wires and communica tion had not been restored at noon. AFTER TAX DODGERS Sheriff Will Seize Property of Those Who Have) Not Paid. Ilecause of the tornado and army registration the sheriff's force has 1 been too busy to tackle the delinquent personal tax matter, but all that is over now and forcible collection will begin at once. The law provides that property upon which the personal tax has not been paid shall be seized by the sheriff and sold for the taxes, and that it is just what Hugh Larimer, sheriff, is going to do. "There are too many people still owing their 1916 personal tax," said Mr. Larimer today, "and we are go ing to collect it. The time for its pay ment is long past and it is up to us to attach the property and sell it for what it will bring." 'Does that mean household goods and other property of that character?' was asked. "That is exactly what it means," taid the sheriff. NOTICE, A.O.U.W. NO. 3 Members of Capitol lodge are re quested to attend the funeral of Bro. Amos Y ood tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.

The elms, always considered the flawless tree for Kansas, is the butt of all the varieties of pests these days. Harlow L. Johnson of Burlington, Col., has written to the State Journal: "I will be 83 July 14 and my wife will be 81 on July 17. We have been married since 1861. Will this war end before I pass over?" Mr. Johnson is a veteran of the Civil war. We will leave the answer to you. Mrs. Florence Ruffner and Miss Philomena Murphy will give a Red Cross social at the church, corner of Fourth and Monroe streets Saturday evening, cake and ice cream wiu oe served at 15 cents a plate and the proceeds will go to the Red Cross fund Mrs. Ruffner said today. Three counter waitresses, at a To peka restaurant are striking for Sun day afternoons off. They walked out Thursday morning and that evening two of them, dressed in their "best bib and tucker," marched into the res taurant, occupied a table, ordered a good dinner and sympathized with the other girls who were working. H. P. Ranate of Kansas City be came ill suddenly at noon and fell on the pavement on Kansas avenue be tween Sixth and Seventh streets. He was carried into the L. C. Rahn shirt factory from where Dr. J. H. O'Con nell was called. The fall resulted in a cut on the back of the Kansas City man's head, necessitating two stitches. Intense rivalry is existing among a number of township trustees in Lin coln county who apparently are hand ling the Red-. Cross subscriptions. Three telegrams in as many hours were received by Governor Capper in forming him that their respective townships had oversubscribed their Red Cross apportionment. A Topeka couple has hit upon a new method of maintaining domestic tranquillity.

There was a total of forty-six gallons of it, comprising fifty-six different brands of whisky, different brands of gin and other Intensive drunk pro ducers. All of it had been confiscat ed by the police department in the last few weeks. Lots of Topeka people have ex pressed the opinion that the federal case against Dr. Eva Harding, Ike Gilberg, et al, will gradually flicker out and that nothing more will be heard of it. A federal official today expressed the opinion that if they are indicted by the grand jury Fred Rob ertson, United States district attorney, will use every resource to convict of the charge of conspircy against the government.

POLICE ARE AFRAID Mayor's Threat Makes Them Give ITp Their Salary Petitions. The individual members of the po lice force had not a word to say to day about the petition in circulation Thursday asking the city to increase their wiges. The announced intention of aiayor J. E. House to "fire on the spot" any officer he found circulating such a petition had the desired effect. If the mayor had gone farther and included all officers who were giving the petition their hearty support he would have had an opportunity to es tablish an entirely new police force. The actual circulation was being done mostly by outsiders who were donat ing their services, believing the po licemen were entitled to more than $75 a month. "The mayor will surely have an op portunity to create a new police force if these prices keep up," said a patrolman today. I don't believe there is a man on the force who is more than getting by and there are some with families who are not mak ing ends meet. Groceries for a fam ily of four or five run about $40 a month right now. House rent for the commonest kind of a house is about $20. That leaves $15 a month for uniforms, clothes for the family, kids' shoes, gas bills, electric bills, doctor bills and a thousand and one other things. It can't be did!"

Taylor, aged cripple. face to face with a penitentiary charge, is at the county detention home. The judge of the juvenile court will have to determine her fu ture, at least for several years. It was stated at the county attorney's of fice today that her brother, Walter Vogel. with whom ehe lived, has de clined to allow her to remain at his home longer. It was Ella Vogel. who. under the influence of her brother and a minis ter, told Robert Gnrver, county attor ney, tne story that led to the arrest of Taylor. She charged the aged one legged man with enticing her to his rooms on East Sixth street with nick els and dimes and other small pres ents and thru a period of several years ureus-ing aown tne barrier of childish modesty and committing criminal of fei ses against her. She told' llPr storv al most nnrl fr compulsion. She implicated another man and two other little girls. The girls told much the same storv. Thurs day she was in probate court in the care of the probation officer. Today she is in the county detention home presumably because erne has no other place to go.

"Home of Famous Butter-Nut Bread' When Chief "Jim" Wilson drives home from the police station at night he drives thru Shady Lane, a street thru trees, weeds and underbursh north of Kenwood. With a powerful searchlight he disturbs couples who have been frequenting that district since spring began. He has routed a lot of them out and the place is not so popular as it once was. Thursday night Wilson drove home that way and the lights of the police car raised another car standing be side the road with all the lights out. Wilson doused his own lights and slipped up quietly, throwing a pocket flashlight on the car number. "We've got 'em now," said the chief, "they can't get away. We've got their car number and all we have to do is to watch the car." Then the search light was brought into play. The police car was run back and forward, the big light sweeping all the weeds and brush. Not a person did the chief see. He was backing the car and lighting up ev erything ahead when some one in the back seat heard a sound to the rear. "Keep quiet," the one in the rear seat said, "there's someone behind us. Switch the light back rtiere and we'll get 'em. Wilson swung the searchlight back ward. It lighted up the stretch of road like daylight! Standing in the full glare was Hugh Larimer, sheriff, trying to get the number of the police car. Larimer was there on the same errand as Wilson. It was the sheriff's number Wilson had taken earlier.

MANY BATTLES DAILY Desperate Thrusts Against French Fall Italy Takes Height. By the Associated Press.) The engagement between the French and the Germans, opened Wednesday by a German attack near Vauxaillon, southeast of Laon, is be ing continued spiritedly by the artil lery, the infantry fighting having tem porarily died down. Paris today reports an extension of the artillery duel eastward from Vauxaillon along a front of ten miles, as far as the vicinity of Braye-En-Laonnis. The infantry battle, after Initial successes for the German crown prince, halted after his troops had lost virtually everything they had gamed. unly one small salient re- mained to the Germans.

After the unsuccessful result of yesterday's attack "by the Germans between Mont Carnlllet and Mont Blond in which the crown prince's forces were not only repulsed but afterward driven from their own positions, they attacked again last night, this time at Teton height. This assault also failed, Paris announces, all the positions remaining in French hands. Along the British front in France and Belgium only raiding operations are reported. The Austro-Italian front continues the scene of active operations but of ficial dispatches are lacking today. General Cadorna apparently is exert ing heavy pressure along a wide sec tor of the Trentino front.

Bristow, former senator from Kan sas and now chairman of the state public utilities commission, will not make a Fourth of July speech at Stockton this year.

In the last week many people at Stockton have filed protests to his speaking and threatened to throw away many tons of vegetables and eggs, it is said, if he appeared.

Declaring ball players of the American league have been drilled to a point where they are now able to drill others, Capt. T. L. Huston, president of the New York American league club, suggested to day that the fans should be given the opportunity to form companies under the direction of the players. "I suggest that each club form a company of 150 fans," wrote this energetic father of the idea which started real soldiering in the Ameri can league. "Make them members of the home guard and let the ball play ers drill them daily, giving annual passes to all those who attend regular ly." Sitting on a camp stool, with an other camp stool forming his writing desk, he wrote his statement, "some where near Detroit," in the camp of the Sixth engineers, a unit he helped to organize for the army. Stimulated Patriotism. "Baseball is recognized as the na tional game," he declared. "Profes sional baseball which is the game in its highest perfection derives its be ing from the civic pride, which is a full brother of patriotism." "I think the American league has stimulated patriotism by its drilling of players. The theory we held that the youths of the land would be inspired is being fulfilled. We found the players liked the drill and were greatly bene fited by it. "In addition to drilling the Yan kees and Browns, we donated a large sum to the use of the first reserve regiment of engineers, which was formed in New York. "The eight clubs of the American league have purchased together $100, 000 in liberty bonds. "These three incidents show the patriotism of baseball. I would like to see the patriotism go farther and help the country train its new army. Home guards are being formed thru out the country. They are composed of mature men from ail walks.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES The film is better than one would expect; the story Is a better one than any authol1 choosing the same general theme has been able to write since Charles Dickens dipped his quill for the last time and wrote finis to his manuscript of "A Tale of Two Cities." The Fox production appearing at the Novelty is a better adaptation of the Knglish author's masterpiece than any other producer has succeeded in giv ing the public. To those who love the old masters and prefer them to modern fiction, "A Tale of Two Cities." is known. The story needs no introduction. Once read, it can never be forgotten. Persons who believe that modern strife is more terrible thun that in medieval times should see this pic ture, dealing with the love of two men for a woman during the French revo lution. Dickens, at the time he fin ished his book dealing with the fate ful epoch, at first considered his work scarcely worth printing. He wrote better than he knew. The Fox film follows the story closely. William Farnum plays the double role and accomplishes it without friction. 2E 1 IMP it The Perfect Cereal Beverage Puritan is a beverage with positive merit better than just non-intoxicating.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 22. 1917 9- $2 Satin Stripe Marquisettes $1.50 yard Marquisettes with satin stripes are proving to be quite popular especially for fancy blouses.

P. Ripley, president, and other officials of the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe railway today issued a formal denial of the report here that a sweeping 13 per cent increase in the wages of the company's employes is under consideration. The story was printed in Thursday's State Journal. The State Journal's information for the story came from what has proven in the past to be an authentic source. Rumors that the Santa Fe would an nounce such an increase here July 1 have been in circulation about the general offices for the last several weeks. Men in semi-official positions gave it credence. In denying that the railroad com pany is contemplating any wage in crease in its salary to employes. Presi dent Ripley stated, however, that the road is expecting to take care of its help in view of the high cost of living which is increasing steadily. President Ripley's denial of the wage increase storv was in the form of a telegram to E. L. Copeland. treasurer. The .telegram follows: "E. L. Copeland: "No grounds for report that we are amniinz for a 15 per cent increase in waees. We may pay a bonus for the- next six months, the same as at present, and if so. notice will be duly given.

Figures compiled by M. A.

But even these thre in spite of the Adamson law. show increases in April revenues. "The net revenues for the four month period were not proportionate ly as great compared to the previous year's gains said Chambers." but 191S was the largest year the rail roads have ever had- A comparison in the net revenues for the same four months of 1915 shows an increase of SIS. 000. 000." The net revenue for the month of April for the six roads, increased $2, 010.237 over the same month last year, each of the half dozen showing an increase notwithstanding the fact that operating expenses have soared.

How freight car owners, and freight car users, by co-operating, can make enough cars for the government is shown in an appeal just issued by C. J. McDonald, assistant to the chair man of the western department of the railroads' war board. The appeal reached here in the form of a bulle tin from the Southern Pacific Rail way company. McDonald points out that the trou ble does not lie in the non-existence of enough cars, but that the maximum use of each car is ifot obtained. Just what freight conservation by co-oper-tuon means is cited as follows: An increase of two tons per loaded car would be equivalent to adding over 200,000 cars to the number avail able for public use.

Most of the newspapers of Germany today print long special dispatches discussing the arrival at Stockholm of the three "American" Socialist representatives Boris Reinstein of Buffalo, Dr. Max Goldfarb of the New York Forward and D. D. Avidovitch. The newspapers carefully refrain from reproducing the information in the Stockholm journals as to the non American nationality of these men. The German newspapers reprint prominently Reinstein's statement that the declaration of war by Pres ident Wilson "was the work of cap italists in the interests of Wail street with which President Wilson ia closely allied, and that it was "ordered be cause Wall street believed Russia might conclude a separate peace with Germany, giving Germany the victory. which had to be prevented at any cost."

Miss Hoffman is a graduate of the Russian School of Ballet Dancing, and for the past two years she has spent a good deal of her time dancing for charity affairs and other public enter tainments.

High Prices Threaten to Under mine Civil, Industrial Life. Washington, June 22. Cdngress is preparing for an attack in force on the ramparts of the coaT trust. The senate Interstate commerce committee today planned hearings for government regulation of sale, trans portation, distribution and if necessary requisition of the country's coal sup ply during the war. The part the rail roads play in distribution of the na tion's coal supply also will thoroly be gone into. The coal probe will com mence next Tuesday. In order to get speedy action it is nossible the bill will be offered as an amendment to the pending food con trol bill. It gives the president or the federal trade commission full powers of control over the coal situation. Prices Exorbitant. "Prices of coal in many parts of the United States have reached an exor bitant level," Senator Pomerene, who introduced the resolution, said today. "In addition to this, a large number of consumers are unable to obtain sup plies of this prime necessity. "Failure to procure coal impairs the health and strength of the people and involves the partial or complete c sation of many industries essential to the supplying of the armed forces with necessary materials ana muni tions of war. "As a result of the high prices, peo- p e of the United States are imposed upon to such an extent as materially to impair their means of sustenance and their financial ability to assist in providing for the national cause. Price Fixing Last Resort. "There is no question but that this bill will do a great good. The presi dent is firmly behind It and already the coal dealers of the country are be ginning to think about its possibilities. In some cases they are getting to gether in an effort to establish a max imum price on coal." As in the case of other explanation empowering the government to take such drastic steps of price fixing, requisition and the like, it is not the purpose to actually use this authority unless absolutely necessary. $250,000, RED CROSS General Motors Company Subscription on Basis of $10 for Kacb Employe.

Ford this morning arrested the first stew who has ap peared on North Kansas avenue for a long time. The inebriated one claimed to hail from Holton, and re joiced in the name of Daugherty. In fact when picked up, Daugherty was rejoicing in about everything that uld afford him any pleasure. His imagination was working overtime. He thought he had come to Topeka in an automobile, but didn't know where to find it. He thought he wasn't drunk, but he was. He thought he looked presentable but he didn't. He thought when he hit the town that it would .be dry aa the prohibition con vention; but he had better luck than many other people. And so Daugh erty landed in the cooler and will ex plain to the judge when he is sober. Walter A. Holland, who raised four companies of infantry for the Roose velt expedition, has tendered the ser vices of these troops to the govern ment. The offer has been made a matter of official record and the ad jutant general at Washington has no tified him that the offer has been placed with the war department sub ject to possible call later. Holland is Union Pacific special officer in North T peka. He says that all those in the Roosevelt expedition are still ready to give their services in any way pos sible. Mrs. Mae Whittaker of 1261 Wyo ming avenue, Kansas City, Kan., has written the State Journal concerning the whereabouts of Clarence or L.. C. Whittaker, whose wife is seriously ill. Whittaker was la3t heard of in North Topeka on February 16. The meanest man has been discov-1 ered, or so the story goes. He may be a farmer or he may not. He has half a dozen children. He Is economi cal to be polite. To feed the family costs money. This is his scheme to beat the high cost of living. In the evening, it is said, this thrifty person gives each of his children a nickel as an inducement to go with out his supper. The children go to bed without supper. When they wake up in the morning the money has mysteriously disappeared, and each of the kids gets a licking for losing his Jitney. The scheme is workable and effective. Social and Personal. The Intermediate league of the Kansas Avenue Methodist church will give an entertainment this evening at the church at 8 o'clock. The May orchestra will play and Miss Gertrude Thompson will give readings. The en tertainment, which Is free, will be pre ceded by a banquet for members of the league.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain thru a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck. arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. Advertisement. "SILVER THREADS" AND GRAY IN HAIR?
