The use of the term "Sammies" to describe our troops is almost unknown in France, according to dispatches received from the United States marines In the over sea expedition of the "first to fight." llow the term came into use is ex plained in this wise: When the "first to fight" contingent steamed into port the people on the wharf shouted "Vivent les amis!" pronounced "Veev lays ahmee!" What this means is "long live the (our) mends," but "les amis" may sound a good deal like "les Sammies," and the newspaper men so interpreted it. Immediately the folks "back home" began calling our troops "Sammies," but the French have yet to acquire the habit. TOPEKA DAY IS SET Tuesday of Fair Week All Business Closes.

TOPEKAN NEAR DEATH LEFT ON DESERTED ROAD II. D. Hamilton, Another To pekan, Charged With Crime. Alleged That He Struck C. B. Vogt With Iron Bar. VICTIM FOUND NEAR EMPORIA Tells Officers Hamilton Robbed Him of $130 and Auto. Prisoner Followed Thru Four Counties for Two Days. C. B. Vogt of Topeka, brother of Jake Vogt of the Cremorie restaur ant, lies in an Emporia hospital with a fractured skull and Henry D. Ham ilton of Oakland, of "white slave" and divorce court fame, is under arrest at Parsons charged with assaulting Vogt, leaving him in the road to die end robbing him of $130 and a Max well automobile. The alleged attack occurred on a lonely road five miles this side of Em poria. Thursday afternoon. Hamil ton, after evading the officers of four counties for two days, was arrested Friday evening at Pardons. Hugh Larimer, sheriff, who had been work ing with the other officers received a message telling of the arrest. Vogt and Hamilton were acquain tances and had known each other for three months, according to Jake Vogt. Hamilton has been in the real estate business recently and Vogt has been driving an automobile for hire. Hamilton employed him to drive him to points in Morris and Lyon counties and they left Topeka Thursday morn ing. Vogt was found unconscious upon a slightly used road out of Emporia twelve hours after the two men should have passed that point. He was taken to a hospital in Emporia and gradual ly gained consciousness. Until that time Lyon county officials had no knowledge of his assailant. Vogt has a fractured skull and may die but the sheriff of Lyon county stated to day that his chances of recovery are fair. Tried to Kill Him, They Say. It is charged by the sheriff of Lyon county,-after his talk with Vogt, that Hamilton attempted to kill him. Ac cording to his telephone message to Sheriff Larimer, the two men were ridine along the road whjn Hamilton said he believed he would be more comfortable -riiing in the rear seat. He moved back and it is charged that from that vantage point he struck Vogt on the head with an iron bar. It is charged that Hamilton then unloaded Vogt from -the automobile, went thru his pockets and removed $130 and drove away in the automo bile, leaving Vogt to die, Vogt lay there for twelve hours and was taken in to Emporia late Thursday night. He was thought to be dying when picked up. Persons in Topeka knew that Ham- ilton had left Topeka with Vogt and as soon as Vogt was found descrip tions of Hamilton were sent out by Sheriff Larimer with instructions to arrest. Since that time Hamilton has been in Topeka, in Kansas City and in Parsons. In Topeka and Kansas City his presence was made known just after he had left, Larimer learned Thursday that Hamilton had gone to i Parsons and Informed the officers there. They had no trouble in locat- ing him. Hamilton has a brother at Parsons, j. a. .Hamilton, wno lives two miles in the country. His two children, a boy and a girl, 15 and 13 years of age, are a lso at Parsons. He also has a brother, William Hamilton, at Grid ley, and that section has been watched. Had Fine Home In Oakland. Hamilton, a retired farmer and said to be wealthy, has had a remarkable set of experiences for a man of his years since he located in Topeka. He has been in court frequently. He moved to Oakland from Beloit several years ago and built a fine home for f himself and children. j His first trouble was with the po- lice when he was arrested in connec- tion with a raid upon an alleged joint near the Santa Fe shops. That was mere boy's play compared with later troubles. He attended a revival meet- ing held in a tent in Oakland a little over a year ago and struck up an ac-' iquaintance with Mrs. Stella Azlein, a. j young married woman with two or j t three children and a husband who traveled. Out of that acquaintance grew a 1 scandal that rocked all of Oakland and made Hamilton defendant in a white slflVO naMfV hmil fVl t onii T-wnaor.,, iby the county attorney. Mrs. Azlein went on the stand and testified to i tnp after trip the aged wooer had made to her house in the still hours of night when her husband was out of town.

Topeka now has what is probably the best opportunity ever presented to it to secure a modern, fireproof, first-class hotel worthy of the city and equal to the best hotel that can be constructed and operated, rivaled only in size by any other hotel in the coun try. The North American Hotel company proposes to build a ten-story hotel on the three lots at the northeast cor ner of Ninth street and Kansas ave nue, directly opposite the old site of the famous Copeland and facing toward the state house; to spend thereon not less than half a million dollars and to have the hotel built and in operation by the time of the meeting of the next session of the Kansas legislature; that is, by Janu ary, 1919. The North American Hotel com pany owns and operates the new Blackstone hotel at Omaha, a mod ern hotel in every respect as to con struction, convenience, equipment and management. It also owns and operates a beauti ful new hotel at Hardington, Neb., and is constructing hotels at Grand Island, Kearney, Scotts Bluffs, Norfolk, Neb., and Sioux City, la. These hotels are all to be of steel and reinforced con crete, modern in every respect, -varying only in size to suit the require ments of the city. The North American oHtel com pany goes into no city unless there is a crying demand for such a hotel as they build, and unless the prospect is one of profit and satisfaction to them selves and the community. At Grand Island and Kearney the ho tels are under construction and up as far as the third and fourth stories; at Norfolk the site has been secured but actual construction not yet begun; at Sioux City the ground. 150 feet square, has been purchased: at Topeka an agreement has been made to purchase the site and construction will begin on demolishing the old buildings and putting in the foundation before win ter if Topeka, within the next thirty days, takes its allotment of the in vestment. The greater part of the funds will be supplied by the North American company, which will construct the hotel, if there are no lower bids than the price for which it can erect the building. The company will equip and furnish the hotel and manage it. It has its own financial department, architects, draftsmen, superintendents and hotel managers. ..The architect is F. W. FitKpatriek, who has been the architect of several of the greatest hotels in this country, including the recently opened magnif icent Hotel Davenport at Spokane. Wash. The general hotel manager, who now manages the Blackstone at Oma ha and will have general charge of all the hotels of the company, is Mr. John F. fcetton, an experienced hotel man, widely known to the traveling public and recently the successful manager of the big new hotel Fonti r.elle at Omaha from which position he resigned August 1 to go with the North American people. The North American Hotel company is backed by the Bankers' Realty In vestment company of Omaha, a weli established institution, with assets July 1 cf $2,329,000. The president of this company and the head of the North American Hotel company is Peter Klvad. a man of recognized financial and business ability and experience. His organization includes about thirty five people specially selected for their ability in the respective departments. The company asks Topeka people 1 to subscribe $200,000 in the general preferred stock of the company, which j is guaranteed to pay 6 per cent inter- i est from the time the stock is pur- chased. The surplus of the company. its resources and going institutions enable it to pay 6 per cent interest to the investors from the time the money is put in and without waiting for the construction and operation of the ho- i tel at Topeka. The proposition has been thoroly in vestigated by shrewd business men who re(fard the stock as an investment aside from the value of the hotel to jne cjty itself. It is the sanguine belief of those interested in Topeka that two things will put on added growth to this city and make it one of greater import ance: those two things are just such a hoel as lne one pr0p0Sed, and good concrete, or other hard-surfaced roads leading out from Topeka in all direc- The North American company does 1 not ash from the local subscriber any money until it has taken over and completed the purchase of the site. then one-fifth of the subscription is asked for: the remainder is Daid in installments as the construction goes on.

Two of thee gentlemen are here now and will remain until defi nite results are secured. These two men are Mr. Arthur W. Gross and Mr. Wru. Johnson. They are receiving hearty and sub stantial responses, which means that Topeka's long-hoped-for mouern hotel may shortly be a reality, in actual construction and operation. FRESH PLOT! SWEDEN ACTED AS KAISER'S SPY PROVEN BY U. S. Another Sinister German In trigue Against a Neutral. Swede Envoys Send 3Iessages To Sink Argentina Sbips. "SINK AND LEAVE NO TRACE" Forwarded to Stockholm as Sweden Official Reports. Probably Means IT. S. Will Cut Relations With Sweden. PLAIN NEUTRALITY VIOLATION Argentina Freshly Aroused May Now Enter War. In Keeping With Zimmermann Plot Against Americas. Washington, Sept. 8. Thi -ubtle workings of a plot in which Sweden violated neutrality and carried sinis ter messages between Count iiuxburg. Argentina German charge d'affaires and Berlin- were revealed by the state department today. Luxburg insolently advised his home office that it not heed Argen tina's demands in the U-boat situa tion. He counselled that Germary refuse Argentina's pleas and if necessary call in Spanish mediation. Most -daring of all his recommenda tions was that Germany comp.-l Ar gentina ships to turn back or to sink them without leaving any traces Sweden Forwarded Messages. The Swedish legation at Buenos Aires forwarded his messages to the Stockholm foreign office as their own official messages. This was a distinct violation of neu. trality, which is likely to result !n a break of relations between Sweden and United States while Argentina is expected to plunge into the war. now that she sees Germany's schemes against her bared. Luxburg sarcastically referred to the acting Argentina minister of for eign affairs as "a notorious an and Angophile." The communications bore on Ar gentina's protest in the Monte Pro tegido case and- subsequent develop ments. Luxburg's first message dated May 19 noted "a great change In publio feeling" in Argentina, as the result of the settlement of the Monte case. In this note Luxburg counselled that I two small Argentine steamers n earing Bordeaux then should be spareo lr possible or else be "spurlos versenkt" sunk without a trace. Advised Refusal of Demand. Luxburg had access to news of the secret sessions of the Argentine sen ate for on July 3rd he cabled in his code that the acting minister had de clared Argentina would demand that Berlin promise to sink no more Ar gentine ships. The penalty was to be a breach, but J Luxburg suggested refusal and. If necessary. Spanish mediation. On July 9th, following up his sin ister moves, Luxburg advised that there be no show of concessions on Germany's part and that she postpona her reply until she had heard further from him. At that time he saw a change of ministers coming and counselled his government either to turn back the Argentine ships "or sink them with out leaving any traces, or letting them thru." Luxburg significantly suggested that "they are all quite small." Iiike Zimmerman Plot. The state department refused far ther comment on the subject than to announce it had turned the messages to the Swedish and Argentine envoys here.

Officially, Order Is Only for Duration of War. SAVE 40 MILLION BO. GRAIN Can Complete Distillation of Spirits in Fermentation. Shuts Down 600 Plants Em v ploying 8,000 Workmen. Washington, Sept. 8. America's distilleries, ordered closed to save (train, were turning out their last spirits today. At 11 o'clock tonight all fermentation must cease by order of Herbert Hoover, Distillation of the spirits fermented V W ...v....... j iued until completed. No unneces Bury delays will be permitted.. The government expects every distillery not duly authorized to continue work for srovernment purposes, to complete the distillation on hand by next Tues- Kcntucky Hardest Hit. From one end of the country to the othr men are affected by the drastic order. Over six hundred dis tilleries and eisht thousand rr.en will b out of business. There are 20H resristered distilleries In Kentucky: '165 in California; 68 in Pennsylvania; 44 in Ohio; 28 in Maryland and Mis souri and 20 in New York tie states hardest hit. Altho whisky making In the United States ends legally at 1 1 o'clock to nisht. whisky drinking does not end. i There- were 232,404,870 gallons of it i stored in warehouses at the last re port, not to mention supplies in sa loons, wholesale lia.uor stores and with licensed liquor dealers. This supply will last several years. Never Will Come Back? While the food control law under which John Barleycorn Is knocked out, ,s effective only for the duritlon of the war, prohibitionists declare whisky making never will be known again in this country. They are con fident that with the experience gained ,from the present war experience, na- tion-wido prohibition will soon be 'adopted by federal constitutional amendment. John made a hard fight In congress before the knockout blow was admin istered in Section 15 of the food con trol law. Herbert Hoover counted John out in order to save about 40. (100,000 bushels of foodstuffs to fight the war. What will happen to whisky distil leries is problematical. Some have jdready announced they will go out of business. Others plan to continue making alcohol for industrial pur poses. Many may enter other lines even making malted milk. i The law prohibits the making of iriistilled spirits for beverage purposes. traiKht alcohol and denatured alco IhoJ may continue to be manufactured. IThere are about 70 plants equipped for making alcohol In this country. "Only about 600, however, actually .have been making whisky. Can Stop Beer Making, Too. Hoover's order stops all processes in the production of whisky at 11 p. m. 'The use of foods, fruits and food ma terials or feeds may not even be ini tiated unless the entire process may J)B fully completed prior to 11 p. m.," Tils order stated. He did not give John Barleycorn a single moment's grace. While thirty days from date of approval of the law August 10 would be tomorrow, Sunday, Hoover fixed the hour of rJohn's demise at 11 p. m. tonight be cause the Internal revenue laws pre vent the operation of distilleries be tween 11 Saturday night and the fol lowing Monday morning. Two other "dry" provisions In the Tood bill have not yet been acted upon by Hoover. One gives the president ;th right to comrnandear any or all .distilled spirits If necessary for redis tillation and use in munitions making or other military purposes. The other jempowers the president to limit, regu- or promoil me use or foodstuffs to mane Deer: I 1 MONTH SUPPLY ON HAND. 'Wholesale Dealers Will Quit When i lst Barrel Is Sold. Chicago, Sept 8. The provision of the new food law which compels the cessation of manufacture of whisky at 11 o'clock tonight will put many wholesale liquor dealers out of bus iness. That was the opinion expressed to day by several of the dealers them elves. "Today there are possibly 200,000, 000 gallons of whisky in the country itnu me iiuiuiui consumption Is 150 .000,000 gallons annually." said Ferf Wick Diehl, general manager of the xirm oi urommes Ulrich. 1 "I do not look to see this consump iun uiH.iena.uy aecreased.

Interviewer Informs Him as to Program of Allies. v New York, Sept. 8. Pope Benedict is so distrustful of Russia that this feeling "amounts to an obsession." according to an interview with the holy, father, printed today by the New York Times. The quotations were printed by the London Daily News from its diplomatic correspond ent and purported to cover a talk with the pope some ,time in August. The dispatch attributed to the pope remarks: "What do the entente really want? What Is their program? No one knows and they never show any de sire to formulate it concretely." The correspondent detailed how he explained the allies demands for dis armament and annihilation of Prus sian militarism, a new Poland, division of Austro-Hungary by racial units and evacuation and indemnity of Bel gium. Shot Many Belgian Priests. At this last named Item, the article described the pope as lifting up his hands in astonishment and declaring "what a program." The concluding part of the interview was as follows, according to the correspondent: "The pope 'Russia has never been tender to Catholic interests. .Look at the way they treated Catholic priests in the diocese of Lemberg and then the case of Archbishop Szaptyckl. It vas scandalous.' "The correspondent The Germans shot many priests in Belgium.' "The pope Certainly, certainly. War produces horrors everywhere.' WHY H. C. OF MEAT Extravagant Delivery Systems and Unpaid Bills, Says Armour. Chieag o, Sept. 8. J. Ogden Armour, multi-millionaire packer, says that meat prices will be reduced only when the buying public permits the retailer to dispense with frequent and costlv deliveries and when '.no con sumers pay their bills promptly." "Meat price increases are not aue to big profits, so far as the meat pur veyors are concerned,-" declared Ar mour in an article in coiners weemy of September 16. "It is a fact that the fresh meat from the steer or hog or sheep is sold by the packers to the retailer at a figure which often fails to pay for the animal on the hoof. "T'ie profits which enable the pack ers to handle meat at less than cost are due to the utilization of those por tions of the animal which until recent years were wasted or destroyed. Too Many Retailers. "When the buying public permits the retailer to dispense with frequent and costly deliveries, when consum ers pay their bills promptly so the merchant can meet his obligations be fore having to pay interest, when the quick moving advertised and stand ardized foods crowd the slow moving stuff off the shelves, and when the number of stores is limited to a point which will permit of a big business being done by each then, and not tili then will the retailer be able to pass meat and other foods along to the con sumer at a price which will not seem high when compared with the whole sale price." PACKERSSOtVE IT! Unite la "Officially Sanctioned" Trust to Settle Meat Crux. Chicago, Sept. 8. Packing interests of the entire country have united in a voluntary and officially sanctioned combination to solve the meat prob lems made acute by the war, according to an announcement following a meet ing of the packers here. The details of the plan are not divulged but will be laid before Herbert C. Hoover, fed eral food controller at Washington next Wednesday. A committee was named of which Thomas E. Wilson Is chairman; other members are Edward A. Cudahy, L. F. Swift, Arthur Meeker, EdwardMorris, John Nash, Cleveland; George Talia ferro, Detroit; Or. A. Hormel, Austin, Minn.; Jacob Dold. Buffalo; James Agar, Chicago and Gustav Bischof, St. Louis. TO DEFEND HOSPITALS Germans' Disregard for Red Cross Arouses Reprisal Talk in England. London, Sept. 8. England talked reprisals again today. Indignation over the certainty that German air men were deliberately attacking hos pitals was brought to a focus by the news of the bombing of the American units on the French coast. In official circles it was pointed out that British fliers were nightly bomb ing German ammunition dumps, rail way stations and strategic points in flicting real military damage on the enemy to offset his barbarous ven geance on unprotected buildings be stowed to works of mercy. The campaign of bombing Red Cross units Is expected to result in special precautionary and defense measures hereafter. CHICAGOJAS A KICK Protests Price of Wheat Discriminates Against Lake "City. Chicago, Sept. 8. Formal protest was sent to Washington today against an alleged discrimination against Chicago in the price fixing of wheat by the government.

GRANT FIVeIaYS" OF GRACE Stern Military Discipline Falls on Those Who Fail. Nine Men From Shawnee County Included in List. Notices have been mailed from the state adjutant general's office to 168 men to report in five days -to his office. This list includes drafted men who have not reported to local examining boards. Failure to reply to these notices at the end of five days throws the men into a class with deserters. Their photographs will be obtained, printed and posted the same as deserters and rewards offered for their arrests. The only men excused for failure to report will be those already in mil itary service. The men must either report in the adjutant general's office by letter, tel egram or In person. Nine from Shaw nee county are included in thi list. They are: Christopher H. Lutz, Richland. Thomas Jefferson Higgins,- Route 1, Topeka. William H. Dean, Richland.

Altho the district board's report shows that nine men called in Shaw nee county have not reported and will receive notices, the county draft board asserts that all except three of them are already in service, hence could not report. The only three men called in Shaw nee who are affected by the action of the district board are: Christopher Lute, Richland. William H. Dean, Richland. Thomas Jefferson Higgin, Route 1, Topeka. These three men were called by the county board, failed to report and no explanation of their failure to do so has been received by the board.

BARE FRESH PLOT (Contlnned from rage Om) man charge at Buenos Aires via the Stockholm foreign office to Berlin, the state department learned today. The state department made the fol lowing announcement: "The department of state has se cured certain telegrams from Count Luxburg, German charge d'affaires at Buenos Aires, to the foreign office at Berlin, which I regret to say, were dis patched from Buenos Aires by the Swedish legation as their own official messages addressed to the Stockholm foreign office. "The following are Tngliph transla tions of the German text: 'May 19, 1917. Number 32. This government has now released German smd Austrian ships in which hitherto a guard had been placed. In conse quence of the settlement of the Monte (Protegido) case, there has been a great change in public feeling. Gov ernment will in future only clear Ar gentina ships as Tar as Las Palmas.

I learn from a reliable source that the acting minister of foreign affairs, ho is a notorious ass and Anglophile, declared in a secret session of the senate that Argentina would demand from Berlin a promise not to sink more Argentina shins.

The state department has communi cated -the message to the Swedish and Argentina missions here.

Soldiers Fight Flames. Colonel Jannicky is in command of these troops. Heroism of the New Yorkers in braving the flames and the danger of further explosions while helping the frightened and injured workers to safety won them great commendation.

Those in congress who have been active in pressing an investigation of the "muni tions scandal" were even more deter mined to drive thru an inquiry.

On tts face the figures were taken as bearish but many who took a broad view of the supply and demand sit uation were Inclined to consider the report bullish. Many traders who have been short on corn covered yesterday and took the long side while, those who have been bull ish and had corn bought at materiallv lower prices were only trading In and est in an effort to advance prices" without In creasing their lines.

The trade is mixed over the oat situation. The majority expect that the October report of the government will show, much larger than the September. It Is claimed by some that prices are relatively too low as compared with corn. Othera argue that there are more oats than can possibly be used by the domestic and foreign trade and the supply and demand situation too, Is to make prices regardless of values of other irrnlns.

Bonebrake made the first nine holes in two above par. His driving was probably the best that has been seen in Topeka for several years. On the first hole he was on the green in three strokes and holed in five. Armstrong took four to get on and two more to sink his putt. Bonebrake was on the green in one on the second hole and made a par 4. He got a par on the next hole and it was not until the fourth hole that Armstrong began to show fight. He halved the fourth and fifth. After losing the sixth, Armstrong rallied again and took the first hole on the next, making a par 4, while Bonebrake was forced to five. The H. L.

The score of the first nine holes: Bonebrake 5-3-4-6-3-5-5-3-4 Total 38 Armstrong 7-4-5-6-3-6-4-4-5 Total 44 Second Hound. On the second round both started off with fresh vim and divided hon ors at the first flag. On the eleventh hole Armstrong took his aecond rally and held the advantage until the thir teenth when "Boney" again settled into his stride and made the longest hole of the course in a par five. The fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth all went to the youngster and then Arm strong rallied sufficiently to halve the seventeenth and eighteenth. At the end of the second round Bonebrake was 6 up with 18 holes to play. The medal score of the second round: Bonebrake 5-4-5-5-3-4-4-3-4 Total 37. Armstrong 5-3-4-6-4-5-5-3-4 Total 38. The Third Round. At Armstrong's suggestion the play was continued without delaying for lunch and most of the gailery contin ued to follow thru to the end. Again both got away with honors even at the nineteenth hole. Armstrong com ing back and making a par after hav ing over pitched the green. On the twentieth hole lost a stroke when he drove out of bounds, but he came back with a pretty drive on the twenty-first and won the last honor he got during the remainder of the match. The twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third and twenty-fourth all went to Bonebrake, the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth were halved and then it was all over at the home flag. Bonebrake's driving was the big se cret of his success. On every occa sion except one he shot the ball thru the air yards farther than his oppo nent. His putting was more accurate than it had been in the preliminaries but he did not display the iron class he has been known to have. Only once did he get into difficulty thru driving. That was on the last hole. His ball landed on the cinder path In front of the club house and this has been out of bounds under club rules, but, with all local rules abolished he had to play his lie. In order to get on the green it was necessary for him to loft over a tree at short range and he did this nicely. Armstrong missed an easy putt after having gotten on the green in two strokes and the lad holed out for the honor that comes to few at his age. The medal score of the last round was as follows: Bonebrake 5-4-5-4-3-4-5-3-3 Total 37 Armstrong 5-5-4-5-4-6-5-3-4 Total 42 Frank Origgs won the champion ship consolation trophy this afternoon from T.

Maybelle Bridges Wounds Man for Depositing Strange Coin. Those who would avoid serious trou ble should keep away from Mavbelle Brideges's electric piano. Twice with in a month have admirers of the in strument been seriously disabled and barely escaped with their lives after clashes with the temperamental May belle. Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock a dusky gentleman whose name of Wis dom is belied by his icts, was a guest at the Union hotel, a well known hos telry at the corner of Railroad and Jackson streets. Maybelle Bridges re cently purchased the doubtful good will of the place, and conducts it. In what-manner is not known, an argument arose regarding a nickel which Wisdom, alias Jimmy Deason, had put in the slot of the piano. May belle produced a revolver and took a pot at Jimmy, missed him at the first and second shots, but winged him in the shoulder at the third trial. Officers Bachelor and Kennedy ap peared on the scene followed by the patrol wagon. Maybelle was placed in the city prison. Wisdom may lose the use of his arm as a result of the shot. About a month ago Maybelle Bridges and another colored woman had an argument over this same piano. The Bridges woman hit her companion over the head with a bot tle, inflicting a serious wound. This assault, like the one Friday evening, began with the question of whether the companion had t" opned a nickel in the slot of the instrument. Certain Shawnee county wheat raisers express dissatisfaction over the recent government regulation fix ing the minimum for wheat at $2.20 at Chicago for No. 1 wheat. Prac tically speaking, the farmers say, there is no such thing as No. 1 wheat; that is, there is no such thing as perfect wheat. Most of It grades as No. 2, which sells at several cents less than No 1. At Kansas City the No. 2 grade sells for S3. 12. At Topeka It sells for about $2.0-5. Thus the $2.20 a bushel rate means much less than that for the Kansas farmer. Two months ago the same wheat was selling for $2.85. Yet conditions as far as wheat is concern ed are no more favorable than before the drop in price. Social and Personal. W. H.

Winter Touring Car or Roadster, (All prices f. o. b. Detroit.) W. H. IMES CO. 918 and 920 Kansas Avenue HAD A BIG WEEK State Golfers Have Enjoyed Very Successful Tourney. Well Balanced Matches Have Made Playing Interesting. When the championship nnatch be tween H. L. Armstrong and Arthur Bonebrake ended this afternoon with a new head wearing the crown Har low Hurley has sported for the last year, the record book for the tenth annual tournament of the Kansas State Golf association was to be closed and put in the archives of the Country club- But many believe it should, be put In the exhibition cases because never in the history of To peka golf has there been a more suc cessful, or a more enjoyable tourna ment. This was the sentiment of both the .winners and the losers and of all who participated in it in any way. Altho the attendance has not been as good as was expected, due to the fact that many of the state's best players have entered the army and others have been kept at home by the military absence of business partners of employes, nevertheless, a fair rep resentation of the best talent in Kan sas has fought over -the course during the- four days of play and a number of high class matches and highly in teresting matches as well have been staged. Well Balanced Matches. Scores in the qualifying round were unusually high and some of the play ers were so unfortunate as to qualify higher than their class, but this has more than been offset by the well bal anced matches that have featured every day's play and there has not been a morning or a matinee per formance without some feature num ber for the bugs to talk about. Repeatedly the dope has been upset when least expected and the disap pointment caused by the failure of some of the favorites to come up to expectation has been more than offset by the big surprises. The elimination of all out-of-town players from the championship race was, of course, highly gratifying to the local players even to those who wanted to show the guests as much hospitality as pos sible and local interest in the final ti tle round today whetted rivalry be tween the Shawnee and Country clubs to a fine edge. The closest and hardest fought match up to today in the champion ship match was that between J. Eber hardt, of Salina, and Ilif Felix, of Topeka. Felix, flashing the only dis play of his best form in this match, forced Eberhardt to 23 holes before being defeated. The next fovst match of the early rounds was that between George Gano and C- C. Carl, both of Hutchinson, which went 21 lioles. Semi -Finals Good. Friday's play in the semi-finals did not come up to either of these bat tles, but some excellent golf was put on display by the four men who were fighting for a chance to contend for the title. Armstrong and Oliver gave each other a close hard race all the way to the last putt, Armstrong win ning 1 up. He took the rst hole with a par 5 while Oliver was forced to take a six and this jump was the margin by which the Topekan won. car. $1,000; Sedan or Coupe. $1,25 GOOD PLAYERS OUT v jr I. W. FeUx, on the left, and Frank Orif-srs, on the rlsht, two of Toneka's liest coif players who were favorites in the race for the title at the state tour nament but who were unable to gel in their best strides. Felix was eliminated irom tne championship fhsht after he had forced one of the Eberhardc brothers to 23 holes in the second round and Griggs was put out of the run ning by T. B. Frost in the first round. At the turn he remained 1 up and it won only by halving the last three holes that he finished ahead. Both men made the eighteenth hole in par. The Bonebrake-Cooper n.atch started off in a spectacular manner. "Boney" took the second and ninth on the first round and Coopev the third. All the rest were halved, but on the second round Bonebrake breezed into an easy lead by copping the first three holes and had no trouble holding it. Catlin and Mohler had the hottest argument in the secondary flights Fri day when they tangled on the third round, playing 19 holes before- Mohler finally triumphed. The results of Fri day's play follows: Friday's Results.

Football prospects are beginning to brighten at the Kansas State Agricul tural college arid with Ooach Cleven ger back on -the Job, active prepara tions are being made for the opening of practice. The most encouraging news that has been brought to the Aggie camp since war was declared was the rejfort that "Stiff' Randels, the greatest end in the state and cap tain of the team, may be back m school. He is expected to be in Man hattan next week. Indications now are that Clevenger will have more good material back than any other school in the Missouri alley conference and the Aggie fol lowers are beginning to look forward to a certain championship. In addi tion to Randels, other stars of the 1916 machine who are expected to re turn to school are: Johnnie Clark and Sullivan, quarterbacks; Lo Ptacek, half; "Pete" Ptacek, tackle; Harwood, fullback; Whedon. tacklo; and Slat tery, end. Other promising looking men are: Gates, a 200-pound line man; Fletcher, a 180-p'ounder; Hinds, quarter; Quinlan, end and half; Dick erson, end; Yoeman, half; Gillespie, full; and a large number of new men. Outlook Very Bright. Certainly this array of talent looks promising and it is more than Kan sas University is able to boast as Coach Olcott, of the Jayhawkers, stated here this week that he Is not looking for more than three of his letter men to enroll at the opening of school. Coach Clevenger announces Jie has had a very pleasant and profitable va cation and appears to be back on the Job with even more pep and enthusi asm than he displayed last season, when he gave the Kansas Farmers the best team they have had in years. The Aggies are booked to play eight games this year, beginning the season with Baker university at Manhattan, September 29, and closing with Wash burn college, in Topeka, November 29., The complete schedule is as fol lows: The Schedule.

AT THE 19TH KANSAS HOLE State Golf Tournament There ts np denying the assertion that Arthur Bonebrake is one of the most popular golfers Topeka ever produced. When he plays everybody "legs" for him and there is always a good gallery following tho match. Prominent lawyers, doctors and other business men, caddies, employes of the club house, street car men, all pull for him to win, and, altho some of the older members of the Country club were inclined to favor Arm strong in today's match, "Boney" was by far the choice of the multitude. The reason for "Boney's" popularity is apparent when you know him. Altho he is far above the average player, he makes no pretenses. If there is one speck of ego about hin he conceals it masterfully. He is a young gentleman on the course and off; he plays the game with the In herited instinct of a bltieblooded sportsman and he is the kind of lad that no opponent or spectator could find fault with. His readiness to con cede and to overlook and to ignore the little things others would use to advertise theic temperament makes the going smooth for him on many occasions. Altho the Eberhardt brothers, of Salina, did not live up to predictions, they impressed every one who watch ed them as being mighty good golf ers and all of them had the pleasure of leading some of their opponents merry chases. Jim Watson, the Kansas City pro fessional who has been sending the players away all week, was unable to remain over tod.y for the finals. He returned to Kansas Cltj Friday night. Hussey of Wichita was one of the surprises of the director's night. After defeating Geo. Godfrey Moore he pro ceeded to trim Modell in the semi final round, but finally lost to L. E. Tirrill. a youngster who has played very little golf this summer. Jakes Mohler is the only player In the tournament who has shown a de cided leaning to the nineteenth hole. In the second round of the president's flight Mohler downed E. A. Camp bell at the nineteenth and he did the same thing to Arch Catlin on the third round. Gordon Whyte of 'Newton staged a real comeback in the final round of the Waterloo. After being three down in his match with I. Barnum he ral lied and won out three up and two to play. The best golf displayed by the "also rans" Friday was the match between Griggs and Griffith in the third round of the championship consolation. Both men shot much better than they did in the big flight and they were nip and tuck to the seventeenth hole, when Griggs stepped ahead. George Gano, of Hutchinson, says Topeka is to be congratulated on her caddy service. He says he has never played In a tournament where tn boys were more attentive or more courteous. The caddies, by the way. are a patriotic bunch of youngsters. Thruout the week they have been tbs best patrons of the Red Cross benefit refreshment booth respite the fact that the good looking young ladles ia charge have caused many players to drink Imitation beer like hard drink, ing topers. Doctor Lyman had a hard tims winning the president's consolation trophy from G. Pratt, but when forced to make the last hole In a three te win. he stretched himself to the oc casion and did it nicely. There has not been a squabble or bobble during tho whole tournament and so far as is known only one player has attempted to blame his caddy for his poor golt Most every golfer who loses, like most every baseball player, has a good alibi to offer, but not single man has kicked about the holes being under size or has tuggested that his opponent might have loaded nis club.

Of the 223 applicants before the- board jluring the last week, 75 won exemp tions. Temporary exemptions were irranted in eleven other cases and 137 jpen were selected for service. Ex emptions have been granted to 267 of the 1.001 men whose appeals have fceen considered since the boa; d bean holding sessions in Topeka four weeks ago. Exemptions allowed during the last week totaled more than 40 per cent of the allowances during the previous ttoree weeks. When the board re ceded last Saturday it showed but 192 exemptions against 542 selective soldiers. To date the district hoard tin provided I'ncle Sam with 734 sol diers. 55 of whom were given exten ins of time in which to report for service. Fnm'lv Heails Fare Well. Manv of the claims approved during the last week have been for heads of families. In fact the men with dependents have fared better at the hands of the board than have the n:en from the rural districts who preferred patriotic exhibitions with a plow rather than with a musket. Records of the week have been Certified to the adjutant general's of fice. Thru the local boards, men with appeals will be advised concerning final action on their cases. The first forty per cent of the selective men will' be reported In time to order them Into government service September 19. Local Board Taken Hand. During the last few days the dis trict board has received a number of statements from exemption board members in various counties. These statements indicate clearly that the desperate conditions painted by cer tain politicians and men zealous for class exemptions, are mere idle dreams. Such conditions do not ex ist, according to reports which show that farming conditions are not suf fering heavier losses thru the selec tive service provision than are other classes of industry. Labor conditions will not be dis turbed at all by this call." declared Simon Coats of Wilson county. "We do not think the different plants or that agriculture will be hurt in the least by this call." Call for Retired Farmers. "There are a great many middle oced retired farmers In the cities and towns of this county who could help on the farms if necessary." said W. 8. Kauffman of Nemaha county. 'They would do so If needed." L. B. Burt of Wabaunsee county wrote: "As far as we know the labor ques tion In this county has taken care of Itself. Of course. In all farm commu nities there Is more or less shortage af labor In the summer months and there are more laborers in the win tor than there Is employment for." "Wo haven't any conditions here in resnrd to agriculture but that can be handled without doing injustice to anyone," wrote J. W. Hartman of bourbon county. "There are plenty of men hre to do all the work," wrote Sheriff Walter A, Woods of Greenwood county, "but they demand big wages and some of them don't work much." Getting Its Bearings. "Conditions here are not su"h as would warrant any wholesale exemp tions," wrote W. B. Sharpless of At chison county. Based on the reports from tho var ious counties, the appeal board is get ting its bearings concerning actual Conditions.

Scene of the Bombardment of American Hospitals in France. Sept. 8. Four Americans were killed when German airmen deliberately bombed American hospitals on the French coast. The men killed were: First L.ieut. William T. Fitzsimmons, Kansas City, adjutant to the colonel commanding the Harvard hospital. Private Leslie G. Woods of Streator, 111. Rudolph Rubino, Jr., of New York. Oscar Letugo of Boston. In addition to those .killed three first lieutenants were wounded as well as six privates and one nurse. A visit to the scene of this ruthless attack by the Germans brought con viption that the bombardment of the hospitals was deliberate. Enemy airplanes flew over the hos pitals more than once during day light hours. The hospitals were clear ly distinguishable and in addition the landmarks are such that they could be easily mapped by an aviator. In addition to the bombs which were dropped on the hospitals served by the Harvard and St. Louis units, one large bomb was apparently aimed at the Chicago hospital. This bomb struck just across the road from the hospital, but failed to explode. The above United Press dispatch carries the first American casualty list of the war. 4 The officers who were slaughtered by German f rightfulness, in the raid on the American hospitals by enemy airmen, are the first to be killed on land since the United States entered the war. There have been casualties at sea owing to the submarine warfare and two or three accidental deaths among the men who went abroad with Gen eral Pershing, but the workers of mercy among the hospital units are the first to die in service, as the re sult of an enemy attack.

Police Court Reaps Big Finan cial Harvest in August. Little of the spectacular has been heard from police headquarters since Frank S. Harbaugh was appointed chief of the department by Mayor J. E. House. No "red fire" has been burned; no window displays censor ed. The report of police fines during the month of August which arrived at the city hall today showed, however, that the new chief has not been idle. The report disclosed the fact that the de partment is making one of the most extensive drives against law violators in the history of the city, despite the fact that to all outward appearances things are quiet. Fine 144 Offenders. During the last month, the report shows, 144 persons, the largest num ber for such a period in years, were fined during the last thirty-one days. The total fines reported totalled $975.80, and of this amount all were inflicted during August with the ex ception of $23.70, listed as back fines collected. The amount collected, so far as could be learned at he city hall today, is the largest that has ever been reported for one month's collec tion of fines since the commission form of government was inaugurated. In July fines collected amounted to only $417.85, less than half the amount for August. The August figures, it is shown, were not boosted by any individual fines that were ex ceptionally large; none was higher than the average and the record num ber of persons fined was responsible for. the increase.

Industrial Council Sow Plans To Bay Canned Goods. Cut Throat of Business in Own Home Town. Canned goods at wholesale prices! That is the next plan for economy the Topeka Industrial council will soon undertake. Plans have been ad vanced by a national canning factory to supply the 5,000 union men and their families as well as non-union men who wish to purchase canned fruits and vegetables for the winter. The plan was brought to the coun cil by the canning factory. A sample supply o the goods was received this morning at Labor hall, 418 Kansas avenue, and was put on display for the union men and their families. The goods may be ordered from the council Monday and Tuesday of next week for October delivery. The goods, ordered thru the council, will us shipped to a local grocer and dis tributed by him to the purchasers. For his services the merchant will receive a commission of a certain per cent. The consumer will get the canned goods at wholesale, quoted on the price list of the wholesaler. The sav ing according to the leaders of the movement will amount to more than 50 cents on the dollar. The display at the Labor hall will be open to all Topeka persons, union or non-union, and orders will be ac cepted for October delivery 11 dur'ng the display, Monday and Tuesday. There should be a limit to the steps taken by the good union men of To peka in their campaign for economy, j In certain commodities where it is ad mitted thaX unreasonable prices are charged the Industrial Council is do ing right in suggesting and exercising direct buying. In the present pian to buy canned good: from some canning factory it must be remembered that a big part of Topeka's prosperity is built up thru wholesale groceries and well equipped retail stores whose prices are standard. The activity of the trades that go toward the employ ment of union men depends absolute ly and entirely upon the city's busi ness and her growth. The union men should be careful in their attempts at taking too many profits from legiti mate dealers. They are diggme at the roots of their own "cherry trees."

If you were to eradicate if from our banking structure, the public mind would automatically become filled with suspicion and distrust for banks and banking, and the old shoe and the tin can would again serve the people as a depository for their money. Advertising has taken the "dig" out of bank dignity by being instrumental in bringing about a closer relationship between the banker and his patron by raising up "Efficient Service" to take the place of service that was inadequate. Time was when an "advertising bank" was looked upon with suspicion and sometimes with distrust. But with other changes of conditions came the modern day bank with nerve enough to withstand the criticism and at the same time project a message to its customers worth while. This bank believes in taking the public into its confidence believes in getting close to its folks believes in making of itself a real, genuine public service station.

AROUSES "JUNKER" PRESS "Democratic Rule Would Be Ruin of Germany," Is Reply. Demand for Franchise Reform Urged Upon Reichstag. Berne, Switzerland, Sept. 8. Declar ing that President Wilson in his re ply to .the pope has demanded nothing- more than has been .iemnnded by the people of Germany themselves, the Vorwaerts, in its September 3 is sue, replies to the pan-Germacic press, which has been railing: at the original reception given the Wilson note by the Vorwaerts. "The situation at the moment is this," said the Vorwaerts. "An en emy power before beginning negotia tions with us demands of Germany that which the German people them selves demand. It is natural that adversaries of German liberties chould try to complicate matters. It is also natural that peaceful men carefully study the American note and protest against efforts to twist its meaning. -Wilson Demand Acceptable. "In reality the Wilson note con tains nothing that is unacceptable to us. It imposes but one condition, that is an extremely acceptable one. The people of Germany are willing to fur nish the guarantees that President Wilson asks for. If we are obliged to fight against four-fifths of the uni verse, it is not the fault of .he Ger man people. As America cannot con quer us and as we have but little chance to enter Washington, this car nage is senseless and absurd. When it is proposed to end it by reforms which the German people Iiave de manded for years, the proposition de serves to be welcomed. The ranting of the conservative press will change nothing." The Wilson note, according to the Frankfurter Volksstimme (Socialist) leaves in doubt the question of wheth er America will support or oppose the entente annexation plans. Meanwhile the paper holds that it is incumbent upon the reichstag to take a stand for democratic reforms that will force President Wilson to speak out clearly and unreservedly on the question of annexations. Junker Press Indignant. The original article in the Vor- j waerts commenting favorably upon into paroxysms of indignation. The Kreuz Zeitung says: "The efforts of the Socialists to or ganize German democracy in the midst of the war tends to weaken the resistance of the empire. Those mak ing this move are walking hand in hand with one of Germany's most re lentless enemies." The Deutsche Zeitung declared: 'Democratic rule would be the ruin of Germany. Tt is the only means by which our enemies can bring about an ending of the war happy for them." It demands that the authorities con cern themselves with the articles in the Vorwaerts and that it prevent a people in arms being delivered up to the enemy by traitors who are active in Its own ranks. Urges Pope Continue Effort. In the September S issue, Germanla, after rejecting the suggestion of con verting Germany into a democracy, suggests that ths pope continue his diplomatic work, inasmuch as Presi dent Wilson has-not shut the door on such efforts, but has merely delayed consideration until the allies have had time to attempt another military offensive.

Storage Batteries for Any Purpose. IN THEJHED CROSS Over 600 Officers and Employes Re quired for Service. Washington. D. C, Sept. 8. Henry P- Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, authorizes the follow ing: It is the plan of the War Council of the Red Cross to publish monthly a statement concerning its finance and administration, and every detail which may be found to be of interest to the public will be made known. The fol lowing facts concerning salaries paid by the Red Cross may prove of inter est to the public. One year ago, on a peace basis, with only about 200 Chapters and a little over 200,000 members, with annual funds of only a few hundred thousand dollars, the Red Cross employed at its headquarters in Washin gton 7 5 paid officers and employes, of whom 29 re ceived salaries of from $2,000 to $7,500. At the present time, with the Red Cross on a war footing, with 2,600 Chapters to administer, 3.621.011 members and a war fund ol $100,000 000 pledged. Red Cross National headquarters employs 624 paid offi cers and employes, of whom 46 are paid salaries of $2,000 a year or more. In other words, since war was de clared, 559 paid officers and employes have been added to Red Cross head quarters' staff, and of that number 17 receive salaries of from $2,000 to $6,000 a year. The highest salary added since war was declared is $6,000. The highest paid official in the national organization received $7,500, and he was on the staff on a peace basis. Of those receiving less than $2,000 a year, 49 now receive salaries of over a hundred dollars a month. There are 38 clerks being paid one hundred dol lars, while clerks and messengers re ceiving less than $100, number 491. In addition to paid officers and em ployes in national headquarters, the number of full-time volunteers now contributing their services to the Red Cross is 77. Practically all the im portant administrative positions creat ed since war was declared are filled by volunteers. During the last month, altho the number of Red Cross members has increased from 2,547,412 to 3,621,011, and the administrative work at na tional headquarters has increased sub stantially, the number of paid em ployes has decreased from 707 to 624. This is partly to be accounted for by the decentralization of the work among thirteen territorial divisions under a new plan of organization adopted by the war council. r RED CROSS NOTES SHIP EVERY TWO DAYS Three Companies Sign Contract for Output of 5,000 Ton Vessels. New Tork, Sept. 8. Three ship building companies with headquarters in New Tork have signed contracts to construct standardized steel vessels of approximately 5,000 tons each at the government owned yards to be estab lished at Chester, Pa., Newark, N. J. and Hog Island, Pa., according to an announcement made today which stat ed that when top speed had been ob tained it was expected that a boat will be launched every two days. Try This for Fat Reduction Take Seven Deep Breaths Twice Daily and Follow Other Simple Rules If your weight is increasing, or if you are already too stout, you will be interested tn learning that there is a method of fat reduction, said by many to be very wonderful and yet not re quiring severe rules of starvation diet or strenuous exercises. One of the essential features of this easier, saner, safer plan is deep breathing in the outdoor air. This helps supply the needed oxygen to the blood for purifying the blood and improving circulation and assimila tion. Another part of the treatment is the taking of a small dose of oil of korein after each meal and before retiring at night; also in following the simple directions that come with the bo:t It is a pleasant, simple system of fat reduction purposed to improve the figure, add to vivacity and general ef ficiency and to prolong life.

If you wish to reduce ten to sixty pounds, if you want buoyant health in place of un sightly and unhealthy fat, if you want to surprise friends with your im proved appearance, looking younger and more attractive, try this treat ment. It reduces weight often where all other remedies fail. Adv. The Red Cross opened for the win ter's work last Tuesday at Crosby Brothers store. In response to the ap peal for knitters to make articles be fore cold weather, a large number of workers for that special service have been appearing daily. This has been very gratifying to those in charge, tvnd still more can be used- In addition, those in charge wish to call attention to the fact that a great many workers are also needed for making hospital supplies. Hospital linens and cloth ing must be made in abundance. This is, after all, the chief work for the winter and a big supply must be turn ed out every day. The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Topeka chapter of the American Red Cross was held Thurs dab afternoon at Memorial hall.:

A check for $16.35 has been receiv ed for Red Cross work from the St. Elizabeth club, a sewing organization of "Topeka women. Before the ammunition train de parted from Topeka, it received from the Topeka Red Cross thru Mrs. A. M. Fuller, chairman of supplies for fight ing men, 100 wash basins, 30 buckets. 200 bars of soap and a supply of magazines. Miss Marguerite Koontz, secretary of the Topeka Red Cross, presented to I the members of the ammunition train before their departure, a victrola and fifty-two records. This was a personal gift. The Topeka" Red Cross will have a large tent at the free fair next week. A display of the wTork being done will be made, information given and mem berships taken. In addition trained Red Cross nurses will be on duty to care for persons who become ill or j suffer accidents. There are now nine auxiliaries to the Topeka chapter in Shawnee coun ty. They are located at Waveland, Rossville, Perry, Silver Lake, Auburn, Six Mile, Valencia, the Masons, and the Colored Women. Twenty pounds of wool was distri buted to more than forty knitters who applied for this kind of service on the opening day of the work rooms last Tuesday. RESIGN "EN MASSE" Officers, Directors and Members ol Navy Ijeagne Chapter Quit. Los Angeles, Sept. 8. Officers, di rectors and members of the Los An geles chapter of the Navy league have all resigned from that organization, according to a statement made today by Mrs. George J. Dennis, president. The directors made their resignation in the form of a unanimous resolution reciting: "As the president of the Navy league and his aides, have improperly at tacked the administration of our country in time of war, and that their declaration, August 15, 1917, and these subsequent thereto are un patriotic and by their own admission not based on facts but on the contrary were untrue and unfounded; "Be it resolved, that we hereby re sign from said chapter of the Navy league." AUTO INTO OPEN DRAW Army Recruit and Sweetheart Drown ed During "Farewell Party.' Chicago, Sept. 8. A farewell party to Victor Metzick, who was to- have entered the national army today, ended in the Chicago river at the Wells street bridge shortly after mid night. Metzick drove his automobile into the open draw. He and his sweet heart. Miss Violet Dirks, a stenog rapher, were drowned. Their bodies have not "been recovered. George Mason, a cabaret entertainer, who was with them, was thrown clear of the car and was rescued. According to Mason and a number of witnesses, the bridge guard was ab sent and there were no warning sig nals. Patrolman Coughlin said he had just extended the chain across the street but that the automobile ran over it.

of Everything Storage Co. IBootli 1 1 Mer. Co. GREATEST FAIR fforitlnued from 1'agg One! fair grounds so far as exhibits and amusements go. Everything will be full and running over. The amusement 'program 4s more complete and more varied than ever fcef ore. With good weather there cannot be a dull minute from the time the big Free fair opens its gates Monday morning until the last light is out the following Satur day night. Today, only" a few hours before the fair opens, superintendents of the dif ferent departments say every particle of available space has been contracted for. W. J. Cody, superintendent of the swine and sheep departments, has been frantic for a week trying to ar range for enough overflow space to take care of the unexpected entries that came in at the last minute. Sell No More Space. The middle of this week Secretary Phil Eastman telegraphed his men to sell no more space in the machinery field; that any further encroachment upon other departments would throw everything out of kilter. The superintendent of the poultry department has been complaining for three weeks about iaek of space and begging that the people with exhibits of Belgian hares and pets of different kind be removed from the poultry building. w The same sort of story comes from every department manager. Never be fore In the history of the big fair has it been so easy to get exhibits. Two years of open gates and free admis sion have converted exhibitors the country over to the belief originally held only by the promoters of the Kansas Free Fair that the free fair idea- brings- the people. Cattlemen, horsemen, poultrymen, manufacturers of farm machinery and every other class of exhibitors have teen convert ed and they turn automatically to the Kansas Free Fair year after year. Fastest Horses in West. The race hrse men have learned it too. The race program this year is full and in the list are the names of a score of the fastest horses in the west. The entries came easily. Horsemen do not hesitate when they know purses will be paid promptly and when a race meet is goinr to be big enough to be worth while. But the people who are most thoro ly convinced of the success of the free fair idea are the concessionaires. Ex hibits mean nothing to fiem but crowds do. The men who are at the fair with things to sell must have crowds. Two years have convinced them, and the man who sold the con cessions this year had a picnic as com pared to his predecessors. The secre tary's office has been besieged by men who wanted to buy and pay for the right to sell things on the fair grounds. The space is gone. In the matter of entertainment pa trons of the, fair will have no fault to find. Besides the horse races, always one of the chief attractions of a fair, there will be a constant procession of amusements every day and night. Midway Attraction. The midway, covering several acres, will be the chief permanent attraction. Around a common center all of the Con T. Kennedy shows will be group ed. Tent after tent will go up be tween nowjnnd Monday morning and in each will be an entertainment worth while. Besides the shows there will be mechanical amusements such as "The Whip," the "Carousal," the "Ferris Wheel" and half a dozen oth ers. There will be dancing girls, per forming animals, wizards, dwarfs and "Other features common and uncom mon to side shows. A short distance away will be the motordrome where men and girls will ride motorcycles inside an inclined circle at breakneck speeds. The horse races will finish Friday but Saturday there will be some spec tacular stunts in front of the grand stand to take their place. Champion to Defend Title. Fred Horey, champion dirt track automobile racer, will defend his title. He will meet any and all comers on the Topeka track. Ha has won every race in which he has competed the last two years and half a dozen drivers are trying to take his honors away from him. There will be several entries before the race is run; He has a rec ord as a speed demon. His managers promise for him that he will supply as many thrills as if is possible for an auto racer to deliver. That Girl Aviator. The same day Horey races, Satur day, Katherine Stinson, the girl aviator-, will deliver another consignment of thrills. She is the champion avia trix of the world. Bhe is the girl who- calmly turns her biplane upside down and makes it fly .on its. back. She loops the loop. She makes 1,000 foot drops like an eagle. She shows the spiral, a sort of a corkscrew drop. She does all the things with an air plane that the army aviators are do ing on the French front. Before Saturday's thrills are over Miss Stinson ,and Horey will race Miss Stinson hovering over Horey in her biplane, attempting to sail around the track at a greater spoed than his automobile is capable of delivering. Fireworks Display. Every night during the fair there will be a brilliant display of fire works. The fair management has en gaged one of the best companies for the entire week. The prog-am ranges from the beautiful to ne sublime. The beautiful features, such as rose gardens, and summer starms have been seen by Kansans, but they have not seen such spectacles a the "Siege of Verdun," and "Battle of the Skies," or the "Bombardment of th-i Darda nelles." The program for the week indicates the finest pyrotechnic dis play ever shown in Kansas. "Four bands have been engaged for the week. There will be music at all times and each evening there will be a patriotic concert in front of the grandstand, The instrumental feat ures will be furnished by a band of fifty pieces. Forty voices will furnish the vocal numbers. Other Features. This review of th week's program merely hits the high places. It does not tell of the People's pavilion, the big tent .where eminent men and wom en, will discuss all of the vital ques tions agitating the people of the United States; it does not teU of the s Kill Two Birds with One Stone While attending the Fair, $10.00 by attending our I S SUIT SALE These suits were bought some time ago while the price weg low; if we purchased them now they would cost you from $20 to $25 there are both medium and heavy weights, in worsteds, cassimeres and blue serges.

The Kansas Free fair, a miniature world that is soon to be thrown open to Kansans, will not forget the army and navy. Military displays will play as much a part of the exhibitions as Kan as wheat and eastern aviators. The navy display, according to word received this morning, will, include Gatling guns, a genuine navy torpedo and a complete naval defense mine. The torpedo that will be displayed is a duplicate of those used at the present time to combat the German boats. It is about fourteen feet long and will be one of the most interesting displays of the fair. The army display will include shells, cartridges, guns, miniature camps and real soldiers. The displays of both military branches will be housed in tents near the exhibits of the Red Cross societies. Recruiting officers of the city will be In charge of the two tents and displays.

B. Inquirers should be careful to ob serve two points: Encloae a 2-cent Btamp and address tbelr letters to Washington, as above, and not to Topeka, otherwise da lay and needless expense are Incurred. The man who stops while we are In war to ask what we are fighting for, aye The Searchlight, should be taken quietly out back of the barn, where the whole matter could be succinctly explained to him with a shingle. Persons who regard the price of flour as being too high should be thankful that they do not live In Car tagena, Colombia, where It retails for $16 a hundred. And Colombia Is not engaged in war. The popular demonstrations attend ant upon the departure of the drafted men for the training camps are insig nificant' when compared with what will take place "when Johnny comes marching home." It is reported that China is about to Bend an army division to the Russian front. The Chinese have no great rep utation as fighters but they could not do worse than the Russians have been doing recently. The other commanders of the ally armi apparently are content to sit around and let General Cadorna do It. .The fact that the usua,! activities of the German crown prince on the fight ir.g front- have, not been in evidence for a few ..days past', may be explained by Vhe recent announcement that there is a new baby at home. When a sheriffs 'posse gets into a fight with a desperado the fight keeps up until the culprit is captured, dis armed, and confined. That is what is going to happen to the kaiser. Mayor Thompson has sued the Chi cago Herald for $250,000. Consider ing the high price' of paper it is doubtful that the Herald has so much money. There is no just criticism of the man who has conscientious scruples against war. If he will keep still about them. It is his effort to convert oth- era to his view that is objectionable. A man has a right to be opposed to war, but while his country is engaged In the fight he should keep his sen timents to himself. Pacifists never were known to stop A war after It got a good start but there are a few In this country who Apparently are continuing their ef forts In that direction. What they axe really trying to do is to get Uncle Cam whipped. The fact that Germany has moved nearly all the manufacturing machln ry out of Belgium seems to Indicate that she has no expectation of main talnlng her occupation of the country. The kaiser Is regarded as the Jonah of modern times by the civilized na tions of the world and they are de termined to throw him overboard. May there be no whale around when the casting Into the sea takes place. Alexander Graham Bell says we are on the eve of a discovery which will make alcohol much cheaper than the world has ever known. But what's the use when prohibition is sweeping tie country? In any plan for insurance of sol diers, if the government shall event ually adopt an insurance plan, there should be no .respecting of persons. The limits of Insurance should be with in the reach of the poor man and the rich should be able to get no more. In the eyes of the nation, one man Is as gjood and as valuable! as another. He is as dear to his family and his life is worth as much to himself. The equal lfy of true democracy should be ob served In all our war legislation. The man who objects to doing mili tary service because he is opposed to war and is afraid he may kill some- S body, more than likely is also afraid that somebody will kill him. An ap 'propriate waji to treat such a man, who objects to doing anything for his country in time of need, says the At- lanta Constitution, would be for the country to refuse hereafter to do any- thing: for him! Suppose the govern ment and the state were to single out such men. mark them and their houses and their households, and ex empt them entirely from the protec tion and the beneficence of the flag. How long before they would be utter ing the wail of Hale's "Man Without Country!" How long before they would be willing nay, eager to fight! CHINA AND THE WAR. There are wise men In China, and they -have been taking a long look Into the future. Many people passed up with a smile the announcement that China had declared war upon Ger many. On the surface. It Is an insig nificant Incident with no material bearing upon the prosecution or ter mination of the war. China will con fiscate a few million dollars of Ger man property but will probably not otherwise take any part In the con flict. Tet her entrance Into the war may have utmost significance. Japan has been trying to exert a larger influence In Chinese affairs, and has coveted Chinese trade, terri tory and concessions. She has wanted 'free hand" In China and wants the approval of the United States to such a policy. So long as Japan was an ally of the United States, and China was a neutral, there was some basis for Ja panese hope that this could be accom pllshed and that when the making of peace should be undertaken, Japan's desires would be respected with little regard for the interests of China. Under such circumstances, it might be difficult for the United States to op pose the demands of Japan. But with China a participant in the war and the occupant of a chair at the table where the peace terms will be agreed upon, the situation will be different. So far as the prosecution of the war is concerned. It Is not likely that Ger- many will feel the weight of China's antagonism. But all the world will note the difference when the time comes to make the terms of a world peace. Herbert C Hoover, food dictator, announces that he can do nothing about the price of meat. He predicts that It will remain high for a long time or until production passes the demands for consumption. Exporta tion of pork, he says, is responsible for the rising hog market. He makes It plain that he does not believe in ex tensive price fixing and will avoid it wherever possible. His position should prove reassuring to those who have been worried by the fear that the gov. ernment intended to upset all the laws of supply and demand. BUSINESS IS SOUND. That the increasing hesitation in business, with rather more than sea sonal shrinkage in its volume, and the readjustments in commodity prices have not been accompanied by appre ciable augmentation of the commer cial mortality is made clear by the lat est Insolvency statistics. Notwith standing the uncertainties in trade and industry, and the consequent slowing down of activity, August fail ures are little changed from those of July and in numbem are fewer than in any August of the war period, with the smallest liabilities for the month. excepting 1915, since 1912. There were 1,149 defaults, not in eluding suspensions of banks, report- ted to R. G. Dun Co.. and the ag- gregate indebtedness ox these was $18,085,207, against 1,137 .for $17, 240,424 In July and 1.394 In August, 1916, when the amount was 820,128, 709. Two years ago, the returns showed 1,395 reverses for 817,733,552, while In August, 1914, the number was 1,272 and the sum of money in volved, owing to several Insolvencies of unusual magnitude, exceeded $43, 000,000. It has been in the industrial field that the doubts about prices have bad the greatest Influence In restraining new business, and the intense heat of late July and early August caused ma terial curtailment of operations at many establishments. The labor short age, which has become intensified as men have been withdrawn from pro ductive enterprise, has also tended to limit outputs and shipments, and the delays In deliveries thru transporta tion congestion have held up settle ment of some accounts. Tet It is significant of the sound po sition of manufacturing that failures in this class last month. 313. were practically th same as In July and smaller In number than In the four Immediately preceding years, the re duction In comparison with August, 1916, being 22. The exhibit as to liabilities is also favorale, for while there appears an increase of about $1,800,000 over July, the amount, $7,690,699, is lighter than in August of all years back to 1912, and compares with $10,884,301 in 1916. Among traders, 748 defaults occurred last month- involving 85, 484.806. This is a better showing than in July, when 770 were reported for $6, 636,659, and it is also the best of the war period,, both in respect to num ber and liabilities. The latter, in fact, are the smallest since 1911 and the number is less than in the four pre vious years, the figures comparing with 99f reverses for $6,557,808 in August, 1916. Among agents, brokers and othei concerns not properly included in either of the two leading classes, the mortality Increased materially, the number, 88, being the largest on rec ord for the month and the indebted ness, $4,909,703, greater than in all other years, excepting 1914 and 1896. In August, 1916, there were 62 simi lar failures for $2,686,600. THE FOUR-MINUTE MEN THE TOPEKA STATE JOTJR"XAX. INFORMATION BUREAU By Frederic s. Raskin, Director. Washington, r. c. Washington, D. C. Sept. 8. A new war organization, known as the Four- Minute Speakers, has recently been formed under the auspices of the gov ernment for the purpose of arousing patriotism thruout the country., The 'our-Mlnute Men, llKe tne min ute Men of '76, are patriots organized to meet an emergency, but they are disciples of Patrick Henry rather than Ethan Allen. Their task is to arouse interest in the war by making speeches about It speeches strictly limited, confined and restricted to four minutes. Maybe you consider that a simple task? Well. It seems that it isn't. The organization has had the greatest difficulty in procuring men who could make a speech In four minutes. Many men who are splendid speakers, li they have plenty of time in which to tell stories and get up steam, cannot make good on a four-minute speech at all. And yet the four-minute fea ture is absolutely essential to the suc cess of the organization. For the Four-Minute Men speak In moving picture theaters. At the end of the big feature, an American flag is thrown on the screen to attract the attention of the audience. Im mediately follows a large-lettered an nouncement that Mr. So-and-So will speak for four minutes on a subject of national importance. He speaks under the authortiy of the commit tee on public Information) Washing ton, 13. C." This saves time in in troductions, which the organization dislikes for the reason that the in troducer is always tempted to make a speech himself that Is apt to string Itself out and tire the audience. And the audience must not be tired. That is the basic principle of the four- minute idea. four Minutes to the Second. So strict are the four-minute men regarding this principle that a visit ing committee, appointed by the or ganization, visits the moving picture theaters and times the speakers. If a man allows his speech to run one second over four minutes he is se verely called down by the visiting committee. And, if on a seconi oe casion, he repeats the offense, he Is asked for his resignation. The visit ing committee is not lenient la this matter. It is made up of deposed speaKers. As a further check upon the time In which a four-minute man sneak- the organization has enlisted- the aid of tne moving picture theater managers. too. If at the end of four minutes a man goes on speaking thev are re quested to stop him either by ringing a bell, blowing a horn or, as one member said, shooting him If neces sary. The four-minute idea is the most up-to-date adapts ttion of that ancient principle to the effect that people will listen to anything Just so long as you don't tire them. Men In public life have long practiced self-denial in the matter of words in order to "put over" their propaganda more effectively Politicians that is, successful pcli- ucians always mane snort speeches: ministers are continually diminishing the size of their sermons, and some lawyers nave recognized the value of few words. In confining their speeches to that four-minute period between the change of films in the moving picture shows, the 1our-m!n ute men have not only succeeded in holding the complete attention of their audiences thev have actnaUv made those audiences applaud for en cores. Will Be Excellent Speeches. This, of course, means that the f our-Minute Men are really most ex cellent speakers. They come from all walks of life. The organization will accept anybody from a policeman to a cabinet officer, just as long as he can make a good speech. Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Lane are both Four-Minute Men, altho in view of their present heavy duties they will doubtless be infrequent speakers. In Washington the chairman of the local committee of Four-Minute Men is Ira N. Ben nett, a lawyer, and the other forty or more speaKers wno make up the rest of the committee are mechanics and professional men, government clerks and enlisted men, the twr- cabinet of fleers already mentioned, the assist ant secretary of the treasury, Byron S. Newton, and the treasurer of the United States, John Burko The speeches of the Four-Minute Men are confined exclusively to the war. Each moving picture- theater on the list gets two speakers a week. The first night the subject is the "Need of Food Conservation:" the second night it is "Why We Are Fighting" and the next week another speaker gives four-minute talk on "What our enemy really is the German government rather than the Gei man -people." In this way all the facts about the war are presented to the moving picture audiences by different speakers who keep the interest, of the people by ceasing to talk just as they are about to lose it. The subjects of the speeches are given out each week by the national headquarters at Washington, which mails the data, as well as a sample speech, to every Four-Minute Man thruout the country. He can either use the sample speech or invent one of his own from the information given, with the assistance of tne outline mapped out for him. Her.? is the out line of the speech entitled: "What Our Enomy Really Is." I. We must understand that the German system of government is the opposite of democracy. II. We must realize that a Ger man victory would mean the downfall of democracy thruout the world. III. We must' appreciate the mil itary strength of Germany and make our preparations accordingly. IV. We must unmask pro-German arguments that pretend to be Amer ican sentiment and which deceive many well-intentioned Americana V. We must develop American sentiment in harmony with America's purposes." A Big Verbal Campaign. -From this outline the Four-Minute man makes his speech, which is us ually from five hundred to seven hun dred words long. It usually starts something like this: "Ladies and Gen tlemen: The time has come when the American people should know in this war who their real enemy is and what we are up against in a struggle which will determine the whole future of this country. By the courtesy of the management of this theater I am going to talk with you a few moments on that subject." The last sentence of this paragraph by the way, needs a few words of ex planation. The moving picture thea ters are co-operating with the Four Minute men in every way possible. They offer their theaters and their audiences to the Four-Minute men free of charge, simply to show that they are patriotic citizens anxious to fur ther the cause of the war as far as they are able. Very few movie men have refused the courtesy, altho per haps those few are to be excused on the grounds that they have suffered from the effects of former generosity. When the liberty loan was being floated, moving picture men offered their theaters to government cam paigners who had not been imbued with the four-minute idea. They made long speeches to the people in their seal for Inspiring subscriptions, and as a result the people yawned, fidgeted and finally made their escape. never to return. It was the Red Cross campaigners wjio first discovered the efficacy of being brief, one oi tnem had heard -the story concerning tne late Samuel Clemens, who upon going to church was so pleased with the minister's sermon that he put a five dollar bill in the collection plate. The sermon went on, and Mr. Clemens be gan to regret his hasty act. It was still going on when the collection plates passed him the second time, at which Mr. Clemens is said to nave reached out and taken his five dollar bill back. At any rate, the Red Cross cam paigners found that "they could Inspire more enthusiasm in four minutes than they could In twenty-four and from that time on the four-minute speech was here to stay. The Four-Minute Men already have been very success ful, according to all reports. They have aroused interest where formerly there was indifference ad why not? Advertising will accomplish wonders, and the Four-Minute Men are the big gest verbal advertising campaign that has ever been launched In America.

One dull, gray week In spring the waterdcops poured down from the sky so fast and so continually that people began to forget there ever had been any Sunshine and they quite forgot the eclor of smily blue sky. During one .morning late in this damp, gray week, two blackbirds sat on the branch of the big pine tree and tried to think of something to say. (You can fancy yourself, how hard it would be to find anything to talk about if you had been living and eat lns and sitting and sleeping In the rain for five days!) The first three days, they were very gv about the rain; they called it showers and planned what they would do when the sun shone. But by the fourth day that got very tiresome, and they spent most of the day standing and wishing for sunshine. By the fifth day they were too dis gusted for that they just stood. Finally, one of the pair roused him self to declare, "I had planned to take a bath this morning. "A bath!" exclaimed the other with a disgusted squawk. "A bath! Can't you possibly think of anything more agreeable than a bath this wet day?" Now, the first blackbird had not thought seriously about his bath, he had merely remarked a passing thought. But as soon as his play mate objected, he immediately discov ered that a bath was the one thing in life that He really wanted! "Yes, a bath!" he declared. "I had intended to take one surely today." "Well, help yourself," squawked his companion, "there is surely enough water about." "But I don't mean a rain bath," said the blackbird, "I mean a really, truly nice bath in a puddle." And he began to look around. There were so many puddles he had plenty to choose from, big puddles, little pud dles, muddy puddles and grassy ones. He hopped out on to the edge of the bcanch; he jumped down to the ground and carefully inspected every one he saw. "Better come down and have some fun," he called to his friend, "this is lots livelier than plain standing." But the sulky blackbird only ruf fled out his feathers a little more and gave an ugly big squawk and the water dripped from his bill and his tail. Finally just as the energetic black bird was having a hard time to de cide between two puddles, the sulky blackbird spied a beautiful crystal clear puddle in the fresh green grass directly below the tree. It was a regular invitation bathing pool. "A bath!" exclaimed the other with a disgusted squawk. Instantly his crossness was gone, he gave a happy cry and darted down into the water. The other blackbird left his two puddles and came flying to the fun. They splashed and splattered and had the gayest time all in the pelt ing rain. "Do you know," said one, as fin ally they flew back to the tree re freshed and invigorated "I believe we could always have fun In the rain if we would only hunt around and find it!" DINNER STORIES "Darling," said she, "do you love me as much as ever?" "Yes, dearie," said he, with his nose buried in his newspaper. That ought to have satisfied her, but Bhe had to ask: "Why?" "Oh, I dunno. Habit, I s'pose "Gracious!" exclaimed a fat wo man, rushing up to the floor walker ust after losing sight of her husband. "I am looking for a small man with one eye." "Well, madam." suggested the floor walker,, "if he is a very small man, perhaps you'd better use both eyes." I. Dorothy Dix Says BY DOKOTHT DIX Wsrid's Highest raid Waaaaa Writs Too Much Family. If I were giving advice to any un born baby, I should say: "For heaven sake, use a little dis cretion, and don't be either the oldest child of a family, or the youngest one of it. If you are the oldest your poor, silly young parents will almost kill you trying out on you all of their mental, and moral, -and physical the ories about how a child should be raised, while if you are the youngest child of the family you will be bossed and chicken peeked by your- older (brothers and sisters until you will wlsn you were aeaa.- eo nave u. iuw sense, and be of one of the in-between children. That's the safe, nd com fortable place in the family circle. Of course, I don't expect any baby to take my advico because babies are the harOest headed people on earth and the ones most determined to have their own way as witness how, often they persist in being girl babies when everybody has Just begged and prayed them to be boy babies, and it would be the greatest possible accommoda tion to dozens of people if they would be boy babies but whether they heed my words of warning or not, I'm handing them a good tip. all i he same. Especially to those who .".re going to be of the feminine persuasion, for if there is any poor, harried, haras sed, put-upon creature in this world it is the little sister in a big family. I've Just got a real heart-to-heart letter from one of them. She says that she's got four old maid sisters, and ever so many brothers with wives, and that each individual in the whole family thinks that he or she nas a perfect right to dictate to her about everything on earth that she does or thinks of doing. This girl says that she is twenty two, but the family persists in con sidering her a mere Infant in arms who lacks the judgment and intel ligence to make any decision for her self, and In particular they hold that she is so young and tender and un sophisticated that she can't be trusted to look out for herself in good Ameri can girl fashion, but has to be chap eroned in an inch of her life. Worse still, the girl complains that her family is blocking her way to the altar. "I don't want to be an old maid like my sisters," she wails, "but how am I ever to get married If they scare every man away from the house by sitting around looking sour and slum whenever one comes to see me? There's a young man now that I like very much, and who likes me. He suits me, but because he doesn't hap pen to appeal to their tastes they have succeeded In making my mother believe that I don't know my own mind, and that I would be throwing myself away cn a man who has his own way to make in the world, and that they know so much better what is good for me than I -know myself that my mother has forbidden me to have anything more to do with this young man. "Won't you- please write an article telling older sisters to keep their hands off of younger sisters' affairs, and let them live their lives in their own way?'' I certainly will, poor little youngest sister in a big family. I have seen your tragedy happen over and over again, for it is said, but true, that more hearts are broken and more lives are wrecked by out- friends than our enemies, and mistaken love and kind ness can do us rrtore harm in a min ute than malignant enmity can devise in a we.ek. It is the pity of goodness that it so often puts its stupid fcot in things and ruins where it tries to help. Big sister is actuated by only the purest of motives when she Interferes with everything little sister wants to do. Martha adores Mary and would risk her life to guard her, and all that her well meant efforts amount to is Just shutting poor Mary off from her opportunities in the world. There are women who never marry because they are celibates at heart. They stay single because they prefer their liberty to any man. Domesticity and children have (no attractions for them, and they find in spinsterhood the condition of life that most appeals to them. These are bachelor women in con tradistinction to old maids. The old maid is' the woman who wanted to marry, and for some reason or other has not married. To her, husband and home and children are the only words that spell happiness, and, lacking these, she is miserable no matter what else she has. Her world is bounded by a wedding ring, and if she never gets this all the balance is cinders, ashes and dust.. This type of woman has no impos sible ideal of a husband. She doesn't ask very much of a man except that he snail be a man, and when she does not get married and live happily ever afterwards, she almost always can lay the blame at the door of her meddling family. Sometimes she has had a mother whose fierce maternal jealousy has not been able to brook the thought of her daughter loving some man better than she does her mother and leaving her mother to go away with him. Such a mother will make every young man who comes to the house so unwelcome that he will not repeat his visit. She will hover around her daughter so closely that no young man has a chance to get acquainted with the girl, much less to become -entimental, and if, in spite of too much mother, the girl does get engaged, mother never rests until she breaks the engagement off. Of course, she will tell you that she wants her girls to marry, but she wants them to watt until they are old enough and the right man comes along, but she considers anything un der 60 too young for-matrimony, and the right man would have to be a combination of perfections that un fortunately does not exist in this wicked world. So. unless the girl has the nerve to elope with some man she has met on the sly. mother's hand shuts the door to matrimony to her and forces her out into the bleak wastes of spinster hood. Generally, however, it is the older sisters who ruin little sister's chances of matrimony, and they do this even altho they are married themselves and desire to see her well married. But, it is the unfortunate habit of many families to constitute themselves into an anvil chorus and sit. ready with their hammers to fall on every beau little sister has and knock him into the shape of a figure of fun. The young man may be a worthy and estimable young man, but there are none of us in whom a lot of con scientious investigators after flaws cannot find defects, and when the or dinary youth- has run the -gauntlet of family criticism, he hasn't a shred of character left to him. Sister Annie has discovered that he is knock kneed. Sister Susie that he combs his hair the wrong way. Sis tec Ella that his clothes don't fit. Sis ter Hannah smells smoke on him. Sis ter Julia fears he does not take a ser ious view of life, and so it goes until the poor girl's little dream of ro mance is burnt up in the hot fire of criticism, j And while she is waiting for the impossible man to come along who would meet all of her sisters' require ments, youth goes and old maidenhood comes and her chance to live the life she wanted has gone by. That's the reason that Hands Off ought to be a family motto. Espe cially in love affairs. It's too much family that is responsible for too many old maids. (Copyright, 1917. by the Wheeler Syndicate. Inc. EUSIMESS OF UVEHS BT MRS. KTA IECKABD With Eleanor Too Weak to Be Up, the Family Must Get Their Own Meals. This headache confirms me in my fear that you are all worn out and must have a good rest," announced Douglas as he came into the darken ed room where his wife had spent the greater part of the day. "I shall be all right after I have a good night's rest," answered Eleanor, reaching up to kiss her hus band. "I can get up and gel the din ner on the table. Jack has been at tending to it since Mrs. Black came over and got things going. He is a fine little housekeeper." "You will lie right hero and tell me what to do," said Douglas In a tone of finality. Eleanor saw that he would be happier if she male no effort to get up and so settled back with a little sigh of relief. It was good not to have to move when just begining to be comfortable. "Have you tried the potatoes?" she asked. "Jack put them in to bake, and the kettle must be boiling; for the tea by this time. If you fry some bacon and eggs I think you can manage nicely, as there is plenty of bread and Jam." "We will get along all ri?ht WHat can I get for you?" asked Douglas. "I want nothing: but a cud of tea. thank you. dear." Eleanor smiled Tiravely, as Douglas turned to leave tne room. She could hear the baby tottering around and the banging of doors as the inexperienced cooks struggled with the new situation. Finally Jack appeared at the bed room door and asked. "How do you cook the eggs, mother; we have the bacon fried." "Break them In a saucer to be sure they are all right, then empty them Into the bacon fat." Jack disappear ed and more doors banged and more feet scurried over the floor. Soon Douglas's voice called from the foot of the stairs: "Eleanor, Is an egg spoiled if the yolk is broken?"

Put It in a cup and I will use it to cook with. Crack another one and be carefuf not to break the next yolk," called Eleanor with effcrt. "What did you say?" Break another," came the answer m an exhausted tone. Douglas went away and Eleanor closed her 'eye i and listened. Suddenly ft sharp scream brought her to her feet i She was so dizzy with the sudden rising that she fairly staggered to the stairs.

"Don't come down, dear. She is not badly burned. Tell me what to -put cn it," begged Douglas. Margaret came screaming Into the hall at this juncture. "Get the'sweet oil and lime water from the pantry shelf." Eleanor was hurrying down the stairs as fast as her trembling limbs would let her. "Din't cry, dear. Come with mother to the kitchen and we will fix it so: it will not smart any more." "Is this the bottle?" asked Doug las as his wife came into the kitchen. "No, that isn't listerine. Isn't it marked on the label? It is a brown bottle." "This must be it, then." Douglas held up a large brown bottle. "No, it is a small square one- let me iget It." "You are not fit to climb- up here sick as you are. I surely can find it." Douglas was so unnerved by the cry ing child that he got hold of every bottle but the right one. "There, that is the one," Eleanor said when she was at the limit of her endurance. "Give it to me and wc will soon have the burn quiet." She applied the oil to the smarting hand and cheek and sank down on a chair half fainting. "There, dear, everything Is all right now. Let me help you up to bed." Douglas put his arm around her waist and led her from the room. (To be continued.) On SPUR the MOMENT BT MORRIS MILLKB. Wsea a Band Goes By.

Sleepy desolation settled more thick ly on the courthouse square at placid Euclid Corners as the mercury steadily rose In the tube and the county seat sizzled under the fierce summer heat. Even the few horses, hitched outside the general store while their masters dawdled on the steps with old -Zeb Marks, were too lazy to brush aside the flies that swarmed about their sweaty flanks. In the old courthouse across the sauare the countv clerk and his single assistant, perched upon their high wooden stools, scrawling at the docket, bemoaned the fate that kept them there while the summer recess afford ed some of their more fortunate breth ren a chance to get away to cooler climes. But off in one corner of the old gray building, in a small chamber, rather imperfectly cooled by a large electric fan, lounged one individual who seemed to care not whether the rest of the world was sizzling. For be hind a desk, heaped high with law books, stenographer's copies, blue prints and papers of every sort and description, his feet encased in large, roomy gaiters, and resting-on the desk before him, a huge silk' kerchief wrap ped about his seamy neck and an old green eyeshade perched atop his broad, humorous nose, old Judge Bates sat drowsily staring at the printed page before him. his thoughts afar off. And into nis musings, as n it were a dream, there stole the Bounds of the rustle of a woman's dress, and sudden ly he turned his head toward the half opened door, and brought his feet abruptly to the floor. For a young, deliciously cool little apparition in a thin blue frock, revealing a wnite, rounded throat and a slender, graceful figure from the top of her glorious golden head to the tip of her tiny slippers, advanced toward him, a trou bled look in her big blue eyes. "Well, bless my soul!" exclaimed the judge, kindly, rising and extending his horny brown paw and grasping her slim white hand cordially; "litte Ruth Marston. What brings you in town to. dav "I came for advice," faltered the eirl. nervously. "Well, this is the place." said the other, smilingly. "Here sit down. And he graciously brushed the dust from an old arm-chair and beckoned the orphaned daugher of his old law partner to be seated. "What is the trouble?" She regarded him a moment in doubt, then plunged ahead. "I er- if er." she stammered. and he leaned forward and patted her hand reassuringly. "GO ahead," he urged, in a kindly tone. "Don't be afraid, Ruth. You're Just like my own daughter. Is it er a love affair?" She started and looked into his keen eyes before replying. "Y yes," she admitted, blushing furiously. "I I wanted to know if I could that is, can a young man go back on you whenever he wants to?" The old judge whistled. "So," he exclaimed. "Is that it? Who's the feller? Is he all right, Ruth?" "I I don't know as I ought to tell you," she continued, "but I thought maybe I could sue him for breach of promise." "What!" almost yelled the judge. "A daughter of Sam Marston suing a man for breach ef promise? Never. My dear girl, Where's ydur pride? The idea!" She dropped her eyes and blushed more furiously than ever. "Well, I thought she started, then bursting into tears, she cried, thru clenched hands, "but, Judge, I love him so! And I do want him. He's so fine, so noble. And maybe it's my fault. He" The judge, who was gazing at her sympathetically, felt a wave of pater., nal interest suge thru him, as he reached forward again and patted her arm. "Come, come," he soothed her. "Brace up and tell me all about it. Breach of promise suits never bring 'em back. Maybe there's another way. Tell me, who's the man? And what's the trouble?" "It's John Rummers," she answered. uruKeniy, ana tne judge jumped again. "Not that young feller that's prac ticing law over th' way?" demanded the judge. Incredulously, and as she nodded dumbly, he added, "What! Well! See ihere, he s a nice boy. Tell me the rest." "Well," she continued, "he was go ing with me until papa died. Then he started to grow cold. He stopped coming to the house, except once in a while, and then he didn't come at all. And and now he's soing with the girl next to us. They nosed here from the city six months ago. and he's boarding at her house. They're al ways together. What can I do?" The judge bit an end off his plug of tobacco and settled back in his chair to think. Young John Summers! Why, he was one of the brightest and finest young men that practiced before him. Upright, honorable, always courteous to the court and consider ate to 1.1s clients what few he had! There was something back of it. But what? For a few moments he shut his eyes, and it seemed to her that he had drowsed off again. The old clock ticked away the minutes and she was getting impatient a bit an gry for it seemed as if her father's friend had deserted her In her hour of extremity, when his eyes opened, and he brought his fist down on the desk heavily, jolting a few papers to the floor. "See here," he told her, "you leave this to me. I'll tend to it." "But, judge," she demurred, gently, "I I have no right to trouble you about that. You- "Never mind!" he interrupted, run ning his hand contentedly over his broad, bald pate. "Jes" leave it to me. Us old fellers don't have much fun these days. Nothin' new to in terest us. This here business will give me something new to think about. Now, you Jes' run along, and come back here let's see a week from to day. That's it a week from today." And he settled back again in his chair and seemed to be drowsing. She started to speak, then checked her self, and looking at him, half doubt fully, half lovingly, ehe tiptoed from the room and closed the door. A clean-limbed young man, with a girl at his side, emerged from the Burns cottage, laughing merrily. They swung down the village street in step he carrying a suitcase, and she a large box On the opposite side, from be lling the wide trunk of an oak, there stepped a gray-haired but vigorous old gentleman, and, staring after them, he shook his fist at their backs menacingly. "Well, John Summers," grated Judge Bates between his teeth, for it was he who had been watching the house opposite for nearly en hour. "8o you're Jiltin' Ruth, eh T' He started to mutter something else, when a sudden resolution seizedhim and he swung across to the watched cottage and rang the bell. "Judge Bates!" exclaimea airs. Burns in surprise, as she opened tha door. "What brings you nerei v "I want to see young Summers," h answered, jumping at an excuse. "Why, you Just missed him, answered the woman: "he and Kath arine Just left. She's going back to th city for six weeks. He's taking her o the station. You see. Kit's going to marry John's brother. He works up in the city. Wanted her to come up and help pick out the furniture." Judge Bates stood and gasped. 6h stared at him in amazement, and ha caught her star a and brought himself back to earth with a bump. "Can I er would you," he stam mered, confusedly, "show me hU room J I er I'd like to see how tho young man is fixed." "Why no!" answered the surprise Mrs. Burns, taken aback at the un usual request. "This way, judge." Judge Bates prowled about John Summers' room, and several times paused and took various photos in his hand, then set them down without comment. Five minutes later he left the house, but a humorous twinkle had set in the corner of his keen old eyea and there was a grim set to his lips, as he ambled back toward the court house. It was early morning, three days later, as Judge Bates sat across his desk from John Summers. For sev eral seconds he had stared at the young man silently, then he broke into speech. You re a funny mixture, bum mers," he was saying. "You're a whopping big fool, and a durn fine man. I kinda reckoned you was a bit proud. But th' fool part of it is stoppin' speakin' to a girl Jrs" 'cause she's got money an' you haven't. Hang it, boy, haven't you got gumption enough to be lookin" forward? D'ye expect t' be poor all your, life? Y' got th' counselshlp fer th' Plow works over f Grandin. An' yu're th" lawyer for the two Smith old maids. You're gettin' on. What's the matter with you?" "But I haven't as much as Ruth has, judse," stubbornly persisted the young lawyer. "And I don't want her for her money." "Stop!" thundered the Judge, bring ing his fist down upon the desk. "Stop before I before this court loses its temper. Now, see here, you proud young fool, God bless you. I'm trus tee for Ruth's money and her two brothers and sister, besides. Now I'm getting too old for that Job. It's about time it went to a younger man. The law allows 7 per cent commission on the estate. That, with what you're got now, will be as much as Ruth's got. D ye see?" "Yes, but John started to pro test, but again the Judge exploded. "No buts," he snapped; "you're ap pointed trustee for the Marston estate to take Effect at once. It's it's sn order of this court. And what's more ye'll find Ruth over there in the next room. You've had your fill at looking 'roun' your room at her pic ture. Now, go get a go d look!" And a second later a resounding smack from the next room acquainted Judge Bates with the fact that the order of court had been obeyed. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syn dicate.) TIE SOLPHIEKS (Issued by the- War Department and mil rights to reprint rwerred.) Ill Officers of higher ranks are knowa as commissioned, since they hold their rank by virtue of a commission issued to them under authority of the president of the United States. Lowest In rank among the commis sioned officers is the second lieuten ant. Above him comes the first lieu tenant and above him the captain. These are the three "company offi cers." 1 The captain is ordinarily the com manding officer of a company, while the lieutenants might be described as assistant captains. In the absence of or disability of the captain, however, the first lieutenant takes his place and has full command, and in the absencs or disability of both the second lieu tenant takes the command. Next above the captain is the ma jor, whose proper command is a bat talion. A step higher is the lieutenant colonel and above him the colonel, the commanding officer of a regiment. The lieutenant colonel ordinarily assists the colonel and in his absence takes the command. In case both the lieu tenant colonel and the colonel are dis abled or absent, the senior major takes the command. Above the colonel Is the brigadier general, whose proper command is a brigade. Above the brigadier general is the major general, the highest rank at present held by any officer of the American army. One general, however, serves as chief of staff of the army. As such he supervises all troops and depart ments of the military service. He In turn reports to the secretary of war. The secretary of war In his turn acta under the general direction of the president of the United States, who la the commander in chief. The chain of authority reaches in an unbroken line all the way from the president to the newest recruit.

Topeka artists and art lovers are looking forward with much interest to the first annual exhibition of the Kan sas Federation of Art, to be held on the second floor of the state house rotunda from Monday, September 10 to Saturday. September IB, inclusive. It was stated that this exhibition was to be part of the Free State fair, but that was an error, as the state fair art exhibit will be held as usual at the fair grounds. The Kansas Fed eration of Art decided that the best time to hold its first exhibition in To peka, would be while the city was filled with visitors to the f ir, and the state house was chosen because of its central location, and also because the rotunda is a very good place in which to show pictures. William A. a Griffith, of Lawrence, president of the federation, and Geo. M. Stone, its secretary, sent circulars to artists in all parts of Kansas, re questing them to contribute some of their biest work to a collection to be sent about the state to towns in which chapters of the federation have been formed. llceelye Quick Response. This request met with a. ready re sponse, and many works, some of them of great merit and beauty, have arrived at Sullivan's art store, on West Kighth avenue, which was designated as a receiving place for pictures. It will come as a surprise to many people to see what a considerable number of talented artists this state possesses. Among those who have contributed especially noteworthy pictures are eHrgor Sandzen of Lindsborg, Geo. M. Stone, Fern I. Ooppedge. and Clarisse Laurent of Topeka; Wm. A. Griffith of Lawrence: John K. Jen kins, N. L. Davidson and C. A. Seward of Wichita, and Kev. Carl W.

AH work sent with right of re jection by a judging committee ap pi''nted to pass on the merits of all contributions, so the exhibition will represent the best Kansas has to offer in the line of original work. Saturday evening the Topeka Art Guild, which is the local chapter of the federation, will give a reception and private view to members of the guild and their invited friends. In addition to this exhibition of Kansas artists, the Kansas Federation of Art contemplates securinT exhibits from other states, also lecturers on art. These wil he sent in turn to the various towns having local chap ters. Those places in which local chapters havi been formed ar? To peka, Emporia, Manhattan, Pitts burg and McPherson.

To guarantee ample fuel for army and navy needs and for the legitimate requirements of motor car users, the national automobile organizations have begun their "Save Gasoline" campaign among garages, dealers and owners. Co-operating In the movement are the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Society of Automotive En gineers, Motor and Accessory Manu facturers and the American Automo bile association, with its membership of clubs and individual owners. In his announcement. Van H. Man ning, director of the bureau oNmines, says it i estimated the United States army will need 350,000,000 gallons of gasoline for airplanes, trucks, trac- i tors, etc. He says: "Automobile owners need not lay up cars, but should use them either for trade or pleasure purposes thoughtfully and judiciously. If this advice is followed, there will be no undue scarcity, for the United states possesses an abundant supply for ordinary purposes." r'uel for War. It is not a question of saving money spent for gasoline or of saving gaso line to prevent an increase in price, but of conserving the fuel itself so there will be ample for war needs. The situation in this country is not like that of England, because England is entirely dependent upon imports for her gasoline supply, whereas the United States is a large producing country and exports great quantities of oil and gasoline. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, the United States exported 25,703,130- gallons of gasoline and naphtha, as compared with 1:94,7.9,800 gallons in the previous 1 fiscal year. Her exports of crude, il luminating, lubricating and fuel oils, residuum and other mineral oils In- creased from 2,148,668,174 gallons in the twelve months ended June 30, 1916. to 2,323.735,304 gallons during the last fiscal year. Of the 2 Vt billion gallons of gaso line refined in this country last year, about one-half were used in the 3 H million motor vehicles in use. Even if only a 10 per cent saving is ef fected by automobilists, this will amount to more than 125 million gal lons in the next twelve months. Such a saving is easy to accomplish, ac cording to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, without entail ing hardship on anyone and with act ual benefit to car users aside from the saving in fuel and the cost there of. By more careful adjustment of carbureters, cleaning of cylinders, tightening of piston rings, etc., the cars will run better, develop more power and generally give more satis faction. Ask All to Aid. All manufacturers in the country, about 27,0 00 dealers, 24,000 garages and 13,000 repair shops are asked to help in the movement' to save gaso line. It is preparing a placard to be hung on the walls of service stations, garages and supply stations urging users to economize in the consumption of gasoline, in the following ways: Do not use gasoline for washing or cleaning use kerosene to cut the grease. Do not spill gasoline or let drip when filling it is dangerous and wasteful. Do not expose gasoline to air it evaporates rapidly and is dangerous. N Do not allow engine to run when car is standing. Cars are fitted with self-starters and it is good for the battery to be used frequently. Have carbureters adjusted to use leanest mixture possible a lean mix ture avoids carbon deposit. See that piston rings fit tight and cylinders hold compression well. Leak age of compression causes loss. Stop all gasoline leakage. Form the habit of shutting off gasoline at the tank or feed pipe. See that all bearings run freely and are well lubricated friction consumes power and wastes gas. Protect the radiator In cold weather a cold engine is hard to start and is short in power. Keep tires fully Inflated soft tires consume power. Do .not drive at excessive speed. Power consumption increases at a faster rate tftan speed. Every car has a definite speed at which it operates with maximum fuel economy. Change gears rather than climb hills with wide open throttle it saves car and gas. Do not use cars needlessly or aim lessly. By exercise of forethought a number of errands can be combined so that one trip to town oj elsewhere will do as well as two. Reduce the amount of riding for mere pleasure by shortenirg such trips or cutting down their frequency. The government is not contemplat ing any drastic action to compel car users to give up riding for pleasure or recreation and if there is a general and concerted effort to save gasoline, it is believed there will be ample to meet all reasonable requirements. When a man has nothing to lose he de lights in making other people take chances.

Mobilization Now of More Than 27,000 Troops There. KANSANS ARE ENJOYING IT Big Change in Temperature a Pleasure to Jayhawkers. Wildest Hill- Conn try Suits Fancies of Idealists. Fort Sill, Okla., Sept. Camp Doniphan has awakened from a long sleep, rubbed its eyes, yawned and af ter an extended pause slowly come to the realization that its "dreams of a decade or more have become a re ality. With the mobilization of 27,000 Kansas and Missouri troops hrre in less thar. three weeks, the camp has shaken off its lethargy, bestirred itself and taken on the appearance of a. min ing town, which, dormant for many years, has sprung into sudden life be- I cause of some "lucky strike" in the "district." In a cup of the hills lies Camp Doniphan, surrounded by a reserva tion comprising 115,000 acres. To the west and north the hills roll steadily upward until they approach a region of almost mountainous character. Here, indeed, is terrain to suit the wildest fancies of the person who has longed for the "hill country." The rough hills are covered with stubby spruce trees and scrub oaks while here and there are delightful little valleys in which spring-fed streams sparkle and gurgle. Northwest of the camp. In a basin in the rock, as a swimming pool which proves ideal to the soldier after a hard day at training. A little stream, fed from a spring, replenishes the water supply in the basin. No mountain resort can boast of a better bathing pool or of water more clear and sparkling. Drill Grounds Ideal- The camp site and drill grounds are level and covered with closely cropped grass, for Camp Doniphan is in typical "short grass country." The drill grounds slope gently toward the west, the crest of the rise being the site of the headquarters of General Wright, post commander, and Colonel Van Cleave, his chief of staff. To the north is "officers' row," a line of tents where many of the principal officers of the camp are located. At the base of the hill which leads to General Wright's headquarters, is the head quarters of Brigadier General Martin. In a line extending east and west across the camp site are the mess halls and officers' quarters, while to the southwest additional mess halls are in the process of construction. The in fantry units will be stationed in the line of the main buildings, together wiih many of the artillery units, while soldiers in other branches probably will be assigned to the mess halls more distant from the center of the camp. I To the Kansas soldier, the climate will be a problem. Accustomed to hot J days and nights, he will have to un dergo a process of acclimating.

Like the Camp Chosen for Them. Kansas troops destined to Fort Sill, Okla., for intensive training before starting to France are not going to a lonely or desolate place at all. In fact, according to a letter received todav by the State Journal reportorial staff from Abe Gordon, a member of the First Missouri ambulance corps and formerly a reporter for the State Journal, the beauty of the camp would move one to poetry, providing, of course, one does not get "Jazzed" on the woodpile as did the writer. The letter from Gordon, In part. follows: "I Intended last night to grind out a little rhapsody on the beautiful stretch of country Into which we have been dropped. But this morning I was Jazzed on the wood pile and I've lost all my sense of art and beauty and my intense love for the rollick ing hills that suddenly drop 300, 400, maybe 600 feet to the scrawny streams on the flats below. And 'nary a bit of incline breaks the drop. Abe Ijooks on Beauty. "Yesterday I lay in the shade of a tree on the side of one of these hilli the side opposite the abrupt break. On the plain below I saw the line of mess halls horseshoe shaped be hind which many camps will soon be laid. There s something infectious in the beauty of the country here. And as I lolled under the tree, I realized fully all the beauty of the place stretching away on all sides some times breaking Into hills that rear up nearly a thousand feet and then trickle away into narrow valleys be tween other hills. And as I saw all this I expected to grind out a little bit of descriptive 'litachoor.' "But that was yesterday, when my heart was in the highland and my soul was in tne skies. Poetry Leaves Rim.

Thelma Brown and Dorothy Romig. Mrs C H. Brooks, of Wichita, who is president of the Kansas Equal Suf frage association, has sent out a letter concerning the hope of the association that national equal suffrage may soon be won in America. Her letter Is as follows: The leaders of the National Ameri can Woman's Suffrage association feel that national woman suffrage should come quickly, and thereby release the money and effort which the large body of the most forceful women in the country feels must be devoted to the cause until suffrage is won. We are asking the leading news papers to help us undo the harm that the small band of hysterical women calling Itself the Woman's party) has done to a just cause. We believe that with the help of the newspapers, and the women all over the country bring ing a united appeal to congress in December, it will pass the amendment. The National American Woman Suffrage association, composed of at least 98 per cent of the organized suf fragists of the United States, is offi cially on record as disapproving abso lutely the picketing tactics of the Wo man's party. It now urges press and public to disregard the tactics im ported from England by a small mi nority and to give consideration to a cause whose timeliness, despite a world war, has been admitted by the great nations of the world. The National American Woman Suf frage association has a membership of over two million women; its work has always been constructive, law-abiding and non-partisan; every grant of suf frage to the women of this -country has been the result of its labors, and its efforts to secure a federal amend ment has never flagged. Even tho congress is now absorbed with war measures, so are the parliaments of Great Britain. Canada, France and Russia, and they have found time to act. A public welfore tent will be main tained at the Kansas Free fair during the entire week by the Good Govern ment club. Every convenience possible for the visitors will be at thler dis posal free of charge, and a registration book will be kept open all of the time. The public welfare committee, of mmmm Academic.

She Is 14 years of age and has finished her first half year in the high school. The nature study work that she has been taking is particu larly Interesting to her, as she is an out-door sort of a girl. The paper she wrote, answering a set of ques tions prepared for the contest, was well written, and the answers brief but accurate and comprehensive.. The Judges in the contest were Mrs. J. F. Jarrell, Mrs. E. F. Stanley and Mr. P. S. Hasty. Herbert Abmeyer, 13 years of age, 1407 Lane 7 won second prize! and those who re ceived honorable mention were: Ger trude MacAulay of Berryton; Helen Hand, Leah Ulamperl, Ruth Early, Millicent Dillon and Hazel Marie Weeks. Following are some of the ques tions, and it would be rather inter eating to know how many grownup people, who went to school when na ture study was not much thought of, could answer them: How does the toad dispose of his skin, after shedding It? From what does the spider spin her web? What holds the prey in this web once it is caught? Of what is the "Milky Way" made? How do flowers get their color? Tell one way by which Newton proved that sunlight is made up of seven different colors. How close to tiie earth is the near est fixed star? Victorine 'Williams, who won a cash prize in a nature study contest How long does it take the light from a star to reach the earth? Which carries the brighter light, the male or female fire-fly? Where does the common fire-fly carry his light and why is it so placed? Describe the tree-toad's tongue? Tell how the mud-turtle builds her nest and cares for her eggs. With what does the Mason spider line her house? How does the porcupine fish pro tect nimself from his enemies? Describe the tongue of the hum ming bird? How does the bee help with the growth of the flowers? Why do the stars appear brighter on a winter's night? In acknowledgment of the efforts of the military sisterhood in adding to tne comiorts or camp life for the sol diers and visiting the hospital patients from the camps, the headquarters of the organization has received many letters from officers of the various military units, expressing their grati- tuae. Capt. Arthur Mills, has written to the president of the organization, Mrs. C. I. Martin, as follows: "You and your wonderful organization have done so much for the soldiers now in their several training camps in Kansas, the boys of the Headquarters' comDanv. First Kansas field artillery, insist that their company commander tell the sisterhood hov much their efforts to "lane nits ojuiei9 more comioiiaoie are appreciated. At their request, I express to you and to the loyal wo-1 men associated with you, the appre- ciation these brave boys feel for the many thoughtful kindnesses extended, I and we all hope to see you on your i return and thank you in person." Maj. Albert H. Herman, of the See- ond ammunition train, writes as fol lows: "The officers and men of the 117th ammunition train extend a vote of thanks to the military sisterhood for furnishing towels, wash pahs, soap and other articles so kindly given. The spirit shown by your organization in furnishing articles that are really needed and of value to the health of the men, is one that is appreciated very much far more than can be told in a short letter. The men are now in first class shape and are eager to reach France and to do their best for the greatest country in the world the United States." Lynn M. Thompson, first lieutenant, 117th ammunition train, mess officer, has forwarded the following resolu tions: "Wishing to express our thanks to the military sisterhood for their in terest in our behalf in furnishing pies for our mess, be it resolved by the members of the 117th ammunition train, 42nd division, at the Masonic Temple and Chamber of Commerce messes, that a rising vote of thanks be extended to the military sisterhood. Capt. Ira E. Durant, M. C. First Kansas infantry, writes as follows: "I wish to thank the military sisterhood for the very kind and valuable as sistance rendered me in caring for the sick of the 117th ammunition train." Frank L. Travis of the ammunition train, in behalf of his command, wrote to thank the society for the interest they had taken in the soldiers and also to thank the officers and nurses of St. Francis hospital for their as sistance in caring for the sick. The reasons why husbands leave their wives were enumerated by Judge Stelk of the court of domestic rela tions in an address in Chicago before two hundred and fifty women at a meeting in the Evangelical Geth semane church, Monticello and Belle plaine avenues, as follows: 1. Becnnse they marry young and have not bad the proper home training. 2. Too much motber-ln-law and father-in-law. 3. Because they want to sport around af ter marriage and do such filings as going to dances nearly every day ia the week and keeping late nonrs. 4. Because they marry without sufficient money for furniture and unexpected home expenses. 5. Becanse girls have no home training work in shops or department stores, refuse to do housework and are extravagant in amnsemeot and dress. f 6. Because girls are permitted to remain out late and become lax in their morals due to failure of the parents to provide chap erons. 7. Because women spend most of their time in shopping and card parties. 8. Henpecked, argument as to who is f boss of the house, refnsal to Bhow how salary has been expended. 9. Bestowing more attention on the chil dren than hnsband, want of pleaBant greet- ings and affinity. 10. Husbands discarded when children grow up and refuse to obey, mother siding with the children.

More American women are knit ting more wool and paying more for it than ever before, investigation in Washington has revealed. Wives, mothers and sweethearts of national guardsmen and of the first 687,000 drafted boys are turning wool into sweaters, mufflers, socks and wrist lets by the tonf Twenty-three hun dred Red Cross chapters thruout the j country have hundreds of thousands of women and girls knitting furiously on 1,500,000 sets of wool comfort kits for the boys in France and Amer ica. That's nine million pieces of woolen clothing, divided into one sweater, one muffler, one pair of ni.oucko auu ijhii i guiid i o i titi Vi iri TVta T ai4 I 'n.L-u Viae these ready for delivery by October 1. The Red Cross is buying wool in enor mous quantities and gets it for sixty cents a skein. Civilian knitters are paying the regular retail price of seventy-two cents a skein. Before the war a skein of knitting wool sold for from 35 to BO cents. There is also much knitting for the boys of the navy. The wife of a Washington naval captain now at sea with Ad miral Sims, collected $2,000 among her friends for a wool comfort kit for each of his two hundred men. The Red Cross estimates that it takes from two days to a week for one of the myriad knitters 'to knit a sweater and a week to two weeks or longer to complete a set. The Day Nursery club will omit its meeting of next week on account of the fair, The marriage of Miss Florence June MawKins ana Mr. Artnur L. Keeper oi Great Bend, Kan., will, be solemnized this evening at 8:30 o'clock at the home of the bride s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hawkins, Elmwood ave nue. The Rev. H. S. Nelson, of the Pot win Presbyterian church, will read the service. The only guests will be rela tives and a few close friends. Miss Hawkins is a graduate of the Topeka high school and has attended the State Agricultural college at Manhattan for the past 'three years. Mr. Seeber is a son of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Seeber, of Great Bend. He was also a student in the Agricultural col lege. Mr. and Mrs. Seeber will leave im mediately after the wedding for their home in Barton county, where Mr. Seeber will undertake the manage ment of his father's ranch, Miss Elizabeth N. Barr, who is now living in Junction City, is making a collection of poems by Kansas writers. She intends this collection to contain all poetry written by Kansas writers entitled to rank in the same class with Richard Raelf's "Indirection": Mar garet Perkins's "Love Letters of a Norman Princess," or Carruth's "Each in His Own Tongue." The aim and viewpoint of this collectian is to be a little different from that of any other collection of Kansas poetry. Usually it has been the aim of the 'compiler to gather together poems that are distinctly Kansan, containing all grades of verse from poetry to doggerel. The aim in this work is to gather the material which is distinc tively poetry, regardless of theme. As evidence of neutrality Miss Barr agrees not to include any of her own poetry in the collection. The purpose of this volume Is to set a standard for Kansas poetry toward which growing writers may strive and by which readers may compare and discriminate. The book will not con tain Eugene Ware's "Washerwoman's Song," but it will reprint his "Violet Star." It will not include Mrs. Aller ton's "Walls of Corn." but it may con tain "A Dirge" by the same author. The aim is to make this a book which a Kansan of discriminating literary taste would not be ashamed to hand to Keats or Shelley. v A good many of the society people have taken boxes at the fair for the various performances that will be pre sented in front of the grand stand. A few of the boxes still remain, and those who want good seats can obtain them as long as they last, from Mr. Charles Mitchell. As Mr. Mitchell says, "If the society people want to sit easy all next week, they'll have to hurry and see me about it." w War service registration cards are placed in the big stores down town, and any woman desiring to register may do so. Mrs. Theodore Hammatt is in charge of the down town regis tration.

Someday a collection of stories on incidents of the day the women reg istered will be prepared, and one of the stories in it will be this account of an incident that happened in one of the rural precincts: It was to be supposed that there would be some hitches over the part cf the question aire on the service cards which asked for the age of the signer. Now we all know that women just naturally hate to tell a fib, and the only time they ever paint the cheek of truth is when they are asked for figures on their birth date. Well, the story goes that one of the women up in the country came to the question "What is your age?" on her registration card! She studied -over it a good while, and then wrote down 36. She went home and soon her conscience began to get in its deadly work. She had lied about her age, and she couldn't settle down to her work until she had made it right. She called up the registra tion office and explained it this way: "After the question about my age I wrote 36. That was wrong. Tou see I was a little confused and wrote down my bust measure." Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Putnam gave a. dinner party for Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Lerrigo. Dr. Lerrigo who is cap tain of the Washburn ambulance corps, will leave Tuesday for Arkan sas, and will probably be sent to France soon. Covers were placed for twelve at the dinner.

'Forget not" "Limeade" 'Your Best Liquid Friend" ft I OUR FASHION LETTER

WEAR 'EM HIGHER Skirts Also Are To Be Much Narrower This Fall. Fashion Decrees Women Shall Look Like "Pencils." CURVES ABE TO BE A GRIME Hosiery Again To Become the Common Pocketbook. High Collars and Fluffy Furs Are Proper Again. Alas, it's very, Tery sad My news for fat folks is so bail Like pencils they must be by Foil Or they'll not make their mark nt all. Neew ork, Sept. 8. Have you a little bulge in your bodice? Are you just a bit lumpy as to lines? If so you'd better bant busily or you can not hope to cut a fashionable figure this autumn and winter time. It's the straight and narrow for yours and a curve is a crime. If you want to be sure of a perfect ly correct model just take a lead pen cil and copy its fine points. fckirts are to be narrower and Bhorter, too, in spite of the mad effort to pull them down a bit. Even the pockets that have flaunted their fascinations and had us on the hip for so long a time are to be sacrificed on the altar of straight lines and incidentally the scarcity of material. Shorn of our pockets we will no doubt have to go back to the ancient custom of carrying our bank rolls, family jewels and powder puffs in our hosiery. Alas! I fear me some such cached treasures will break the symmetry of the outline. There are a few of us, however, who need have no worry over the spoiling of our con tour by such a means. Wear High Collars. Collars are to be high and closely buttoned up around our chin or china Sleeves will be tight and long even to the knuckle line.' It is quite time fashion was knuckling to something and it might as well be sleeves. One comfort about these long arm cover ings is that if we have anything up our sleeves it will be so much easier to get at practically at our finger tips as 'twere. The new black charmeuse one piece frock for fall is quite the model gown of the moment and the mode shows all the new pencil points of short narrow skirt, long tight sleeve, high close collar and straight lined bodice. Tou can't help taking a shine to its shiny lengths and if you top it with one of the little close fitting hats of taupe felt or velvet your resem blance to a nice new lead pencil with an eraser on the end will make every body rubber. We will have to be furbearlng apain as well as forbearing this year. Just to prove that little squirrels had much better stick to their pedal extremi ties when it comes to a means of lo comotion instead of trying to flv is evidenced by the lavish use of flying squirrels fur on many of the smartest fur coats, winter suits and cloth coats. Leaning to Oriental. Quantities of gray squirrel as band ings and collars and cuffs, however, show that he who runs doesn't always get away with it either. Since, next to black, grey is to be the favorite color scheme for the sombre arrev days of a wartime fall and winter it is plausible that the grey furs should be to the fore and the rear and all around for that matter. Chinchilla is of course rare and very exnensive and therefore much to be desired but for an understudy the Australian oppos sum or nutria does beautifully and will be much in evidence either in all overcoats, mostly for motor or coun try wear, or in combination with other furs. Hudson seal and the nutria makes a new and decidedly smart combination while the Hudson seal coats collared and cuffed in flying squirrel are very ricn. The use of two furs together as also the use of two materials or a fur and a material wilt be one of the features of the Autumn .nodes. There is a striking Chinese tendency again and the exquisite and -gorgeous Chinese embroideries will embellish and enliven many an otherwise neu tral tinted frock of drab, black or platinum rey. Chinese ekirts with the panels front and back will be cop ied for their straight line tendencies. The round Chinese neck line will be seen on many of th Cooll. blouse ef fects and the hoof cuff thit is a feat ure of the Mandarin robes will now fall over our fair hands. When you sift the origin of this hoof shaped cuff down to tha tradition that every one approaching the august i-resence of tne emperor naa to do so on the level of a beast and that the Mandarins crawled in on all fours had the cuffs of their ceremonial robes haped like a hoof in order to maki the beast abasement more completi I am in clined to be a bit mullah aSout adopt ing this Chinese cuff. When It comes to hoofing it, let's kick. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. O. R. Joss and wife to R. F. Moore and others, n 32-13-16 $12000 r. i,. .lunuam inn wue CO a. ttoya, pt. awl4 30-11-16 D. T.
