Buenos Aires, Sept. 25. By a vote i of 53 to 18 the Argentina chamber of j deputies today voted to support a j break in relations with Germany. The vote was on a motion "to pro- I ceed to break relations" with tier- many. The chambers vote completes Argentina's legislative approval of severance of relations with Berlin. The senate last week voted 23 to 1 in favor of such a stop.

The action of the lower house comes as a slnms rebuke to Germany, falling as it d'M's in the midst of a national calamity in 'he form of a railroad Htrik? on practically every line in Ar gentina. Instead of ('.faying a war at titude towards Germany, the strike only tended to foster the anti-German l ser-Umont in congress, for with it crmes the indisputable 'evidence that! the strike is being promoted by Ger many and the trail leads right up to the imperial diplomatic corps. The vote of the lower house practi cally concludes a declaration of war on Germany. It follows an over whelming vote taken by the upper house a week ago. Immediate action by the lower, house then was delayed by giving Germany a chance to make amends for Luxburg's conspiracy; Ar gentina demanded that the kaiser re nounce his conduct. Germany is re ported to have answered in a manner tending to heal the breach, but that she is far from succeeding in doing so is apparent by the vote taken to day. lias Army of 200.000. .-i-uentina has already started the mobilization of her arrny and navy. She has 200,000 men ready to take the field and the sentiment here is strong that she take an active part in the war against Germany. WEARING GOALllOW K. and I., of S.

The state did not ask the death penalty when State's Attorney Hess began his ar gument before the jury that will try Lyn George J. Kelly, itinerant- min ister, of the Villisca axe murders. The state's representative said he would leave the fate of the man who Is charged with killing eight persons five years ago, in the hands of the Jurors without asking that he be killed. Hess dwelt considerably on the fact that the state is satisfied that Kelly Is a paranoiac of the worst type. He said his various actions and words in dicated he was of unsound mind. He then asked the jurors to remember lieir families miht be endangered by i a:t of this type at any time.

BIG CROWD AT THE DEPOT Wives, Mothers, Sweethearts, Fathers There. Bouyant Spirit Marked Final Farewells to Boys. Topeka's farewell to Radio company A of the Kansas signal battalion, the headquarters and supply companies and the band of the Third Kansas in fantry today was said mostly amid laughter and cheers. Scarcely a tear was noticed among1 the more than 1,000 relatives and personal frlnnds on the station' platform as the trains bearing the 200 or more men puffed with rapidly increasing speed out of sight. The units left for Camp Doni phan, Fort Sill, Okla., with, goodbyes and farewells said in a more buoyant spirit than has yet been accorded a military unit here. The radio company, commanded by Captain Elmer CI. Stahl, was the first unit to leave ttoday. It is doubtful if a cleaner and handsomer bunch of men can be found in ail the National Guard. They marched from the audi torium to the station amid claoping of hands from the sidewalks. They whipped around onto the station r-lat-form and while standing "at ease" bid wives, mothers, brothers, sweethearts and fathers farewell. The I .a st Goodbye. A cry of "all on" sounded from the throats of officers and noncoms. There was a last handshake, a last huj? for the feminine friends and rela tives who will keep the home fires burning and the men clambered aboard. A brief interval between the time the men boarded their cars and the time the train started was taken up with jibes and good noatured "kidding" hurled back and forth be tween the Radios and those on the platform. Then the train began to move. Until the train was out of sight at least smiles illumniated the faces of most of those on the platform. There may have been a few tears that laughter couldn't choke back, but it was plain that the "home folks" had agreed to send the men away with light hearts. The headquarters and supply com panies and the band left an hour or so after the Radios. They had ex pected to leave first but failure of the Missouri Pacific to deliver several cars of troops on time to be coupled with those bearing the Topekans de layed matters. Christmas Dinner In Berlin. The infantry detachments were fully as boisterous as were the others. A non-com in the headquarters -company found a piece of chalk and wrote on the unit's car: "Christmas dinner in Berlin Here he paused and seemed to be going thru some mental calculation. He added: "In 1918." He came near being lynched. A score pair of hands reached for the chalk and instantly the eight in the date disappeared and a seven was sub stituted for it. A youngster of Company B, Third WITH RAIN In perfect marching order after months of efficient instruction and training the Third Infantry band of Topeka played a lively air as it swayed down Kansas avenue today. The band which has been encamped at Ripley park went to the station where a train was awaiting to take them to tort Sill preliminary to their assignment to France. This band has been giving public concerts to admiring Topekans for many weeks. Bert Swtnk Ha rley A. Ferrin Claud H. Tucker Corporal n. Cecil H- Belsmr Alpha E. Sutton Victor E. Carlson Kenneth L.

Railroad bridges were tt have been dynamited, telegraph and telephone wires de molished, trees and wire entangle ments were to have- been placed on the highways to stop the travel of auto mobiles, government officers to be killed and wells poisoned, according to testimony in the federal court Mon day by government witnesses. Rube Munson, a. prominent leader, had been very active in organizing the Working Class union in Oklahoma, He had led the members to toelieve that there were a great number of similar organizations in the United States and that thru the I. W. W. they had con nections with German agents. Several witnesses testified along the same lines stating that Munson had advised them that it was "unconstitutional" to take men to foreign lands for service. One witness said that July 27 was the date set for the revolution to begin. Oth ers told of the purchase of dynamite, rifles, etc. The government, it was believed, will put its most important witnesses on the stand today. Infantry, Oskaloosa. which spent last night in Topeka and entrained with the Topeka units today, was an inter ested onlooker to the performance. He scratched his head, ducked Into his company's cars and reappeared a minute later dragging two tall, khaki clad men. Hang Kaiser Bill. He pointed to the legend on the headquarters car. "Tell 'em about It," he ordered. The duo began to sing: "Oh, we'll hang Kaiser Bill to a sour apple tree. "As we go inarching on. "Oh, what a heluva time we'll have. "When we hang Kaiser Bill from a sour apple tree." A crowd collected and applauded wildly. They yelled for more. The duo consented with "Goodbye Broad way, Hello France." The Third Infantry band, in the next car. refused to permit all the honors to go to some one else and two or three members hastily found the appropriate instruments to make up an Egyptian orchestra of the type so often heard at carnivals and shows. There was a roar of approval from the entire train as the squeaky, squeamish notes of the flute, supple mented with the tom-tom of a drum floated thru the air. Evidently there were a number who would have adopted the air for a battle tune, judging from the clamorous approval, had not na officer come along and put a stop to the musicians' efforts.

A mighty audience, but a wonderfully attentive one, heard Colonel Roosevelt speak at Electric park last night. In the amphitheater were probably twenty five thousand people- At least twenty thousand more filled the remainder of the park to overflowing. J it was a gatnenng tnai iar out rivaled the great throngs which have packed-Convention hall within recent years when a president or a former president has come to Kansas City. The most remarkable feature of the night was the manner in which the immense' audience listened td Colonel Roosevelt's message. At first there had been much con fusion, hoarse cries from men and boys in the rear of the crowd, and loud voiced demands for those stand ing in the aisles to sit down. This was when Mayor George H. Edwards attempted to- introduce the colonel. Fully fifteen minutes the mayor waited for quiet. It did not come, and he went ahead with his brief word of introduction. Roosevelt Quiets Crowd. Then Colonel Roosevelt stepped to the edge of the platform and lifted high his arms. Almost in an instant a great quiet rested over the thou sands. For more than an hour he spoke. And always the crowd listened closely, breaking into applause now and then, but for the most part con tent to hear the plea of red-blooded Americanism and real national pre paredness from the lips of the man who is "going to do all in his power to back up the men who are going, to fight," to quote what Colonel Roose velt said last night. A salute of eleven giant bombs and apicture of Colonel Roosevelt in fire works announced his entrance to the park. Here to Appeal to West. The first applause after that which welcomed Mr. Roosevelt rippled over the great out-of-doors auditorium when he said in beginning his speech: "I am here because this is the heart of the country.

HAND OF GERMANY APPARENT Strikers Cut Cables to Also Wires to Chile. Cities WitAout Milk and Food; Prices Are Soaring. Buenos Aires, Sept. 25. Sent via London.) Argentina was paralyzed today in a general strike which tied up all railroads, w?ut off -telegraphic communication and threatens famine in scores of cities. It was learned on high authority that Germans are paying many strik ers expenses to prevent them return ing to work. One hundred and twenty thousand men are already out. The government was strenuously at tempting to settle the strikes today while agitators, equ. lly earnest, en deavored to prolong the Buenos Aires local street railway strike. Soldiers Operate Plants. Buenos Aires is already without milk. Electric light plants are oper ated only by sailors and soldiers. Food prices soared to unheard of heights today. The government advised all hotels to barricade their windows with shutters and to secure provisions enough for a fortnight, officially ad mitting that continuation of the strike for even a few days will mean a food shortage. During the night strikers cut the Central and South American Cable company's land wire because they were within the railroad's right of way. All direct communication with New York was therefore severed. Argentina National telegraph lines to Chile were also cut, destroying all South American trans-continental communication except via cable to London, New York and down the Pacific. The Pacific cable wires to Chile were likewise dead today. This despatch is filed by the only means of communication with the out side world now left to the capital. German Money Back of It. There is a sinister connection be tween the strike and German agents strenuous efforts to keep Argentina out of the war. The railroad strike itself came at exactly the moment when the chamber of deputies was ready to announce its approval of any drastic step against Germany which the government should deem desir able. German money, it was stated on highest authority, has been found in financial backing, acquired mys teriously by certain of the striking elements. The effect of the complete paralysis of industrial, transportation and social activities by the tieup is to delay the government's action on the German situation. Possibly German agents fomenting the strike believe the dangerous in ternal situation, with labor aroused, might force Argentina to give its at tention exclusively to home affairs and to forego entrance Into the war.

Means, charged with the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, consented this after noon to-having Means bound over to the district court. When counsel for the defense an nounced at the opening of the sec ond day's preliminary hearing that it would offer no evidence but would rest its case on arguments for dismis sal, it became apparent that Means' story of the traged;- would not be re told at this time. Two of the defen dants' eight lawyers. Irank Osborne and L. T. Hartzell, had addressed Mag istrate Pitts when court recessed. So licitor Hayden Clement spoke also this morning in answer to Mr. Os borne's arguments. Means to Recover Papers. Mr. Osborne declared that the state had brought no direct evidence to show that Means was connected with the death of Mrs. King and said that its case rested upon the statements of the two experts. Dr. Wm. H. Burmeis ter of Chicago and Dr. Otto Schultr.e of New York, that it would have been a physical impossibility for Mrs. Kins; to have shot herself in the back of the head.

Reports from a Kentish town say that about eight bombs were dropped in last night's air raid according to a telegram from an Essex coast town. The first intim ation of the raid came about 7:30 o'clock when anti-air craft gung open ed fire and the droning of the airplane motors could be heard. The bombing over this town continued for about two hours at intervals but so far as could be learned only three bombs were dropped and apparently there was no great property damage. Reports from Yorkshire indicate that the Zeppelins which appeared early this morning off the Lincoln shire and Yorkshire coasts dropped bombs and aerial torpedoes.

Employes, Waiters at Xigrht To Get Espionage Data. KEPT BIG" RETIME SERVANTS Believe Ambassador Made Big Cleanup on Stock Market. Talks With Reporters Kept Germany Well Advertised. Washington, Sept. 25. Beautiful society women were German Am baa- sador Bernstorff's unconscious aids in gathering "inside information about American affairs." This fact will be developed if any congressional inquiry of his propa ganda operations and his congression al slusH fund are undertaken. Mora over, it would be revealed that em ployes of the German embassy in the day time were waiter spies at the night for the count. Chats With Smiul IxNidcrs. Bernstorff, tall, handsome and gracious, was a social lion here and in New York in the davs before the war and before his nefarious labors had uuvuuic ugiii, l wan itr uiii vjiu nuin occurrence 'for social leaders to call him on the phone afternoons and chat at length .with him. Bernstorff never made any secret of these calls. Aside from his opportunities for gathering "diplomatic gossip" here, he was an almost constant visitor to New York'. Iuring his visits to New York he held many mysterious conferences, and it is assumed that Bernstorff met men who were aiding in his anti American propaganda. Incidentally his New York trips re called today the fact that numerous reports at the time of the so-called "leak" investigation linked Bern storff's name with stock deals. It is believed quite generally here that, be tween information he could gather as to the moves of both his own anri the -American government, Bernstorff was in a position to make heavy cleanups from the market. Servants Really Spies. Bernstorff had a retinue of servants in the big embassy building who were in reality spies. At night they hud employment at big social affairs, where the count himself frequently wan a guest. Then when the war made him persona non grata, Bern storff could still get a considerable stock:' of information from these waiters. The United States secret service was aware of this phase of Bernstorff's work and kepttclose tab on it. The state department was worried for some time over one form of Bern storff propaganda his talks to news paper men. In as broad a way as poK sible, officials warned newspaper men who. "covered" the embassy that they were being duped often times by the smooth tongued Teuton. The officials also did ail they could directly, to pre vent Bernstorff from talking and at one time a situation of extreme deli cacy arose over his persistence in talking German "press agent matter." There were rumors for a time that his recall would be asked as a result. Secretary of State Lansing indi cated today that perhaps he would have a new series of disclosures of Germany's shameless work soon. WANT THEM FIRED Demand Expulsion of Scandal tfonging Congressmen.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1917 MILLIONS AWAIT GOV'T SOLUTION OF COAL PRICES Expect Garfield To SaTe Them From Chilly Homes. But Reports Gathered Today Indicate Much Confusion. SHORTAGE CARS, COAL, LABOR Kansas City Dealers Say They Are Well Supplied Now. Retailers Getting $1 ta.$2 a Ton More Than Year Ago. New York, Sept. 25. Millions of Americans are depending on Coal Controller Garfield to save them from suffering in chilly homes this winter. Reports gathered by the United Press today from all parts of the country revealed widespread con fusion in the coal situation, with deal ers predicting a shortage, prices covering a wide range, and consumers delaying their winter buying until the government has had time to act. Dealers, in many instances, de clared the entire coal situation grow ing rapidly worse, due to a bigger de mand, a shortage of labor and rail road congestion.. St. Louis offered an example of this year's higher, prices anthracite $2 over last year, and bituminous up 1, with the supply fast diminishing. Prices Very Irregular. In New York dealers said retail prices were very irregular. There ap pears to be an atmosphere of suspense and waiting to see what, the govern ment will do. One big dealer as serted he was flooded with appeals for coal from all parts of the East, and that he was unable to supply them. 'If Washington does not give some relief 1 don't know what will happen," he said. "There is a shortage of coal cars, a shortage of labor and a greatly Increased demand everywhere on ac count of war requirements. Our dis tribution facilities are very limited." On the Pacific coast, soft coal Is retailing at $14.50 a ton and dealers, while they have a sufficient stock for the present, say they expect a winter shortage unless new sources of supply are opened. K. C. Report Optimistic. Kansas City reported bright condi tions with retailers getting all the coal they need. Semi-anthracite ranges from $7.50 to $8 a ton and soft coal from $5.50 to $6.50. Washington dealers say consumers are waiting for Controller Garfield's prices and are holding off on orders as long as possible. -,tespite this, the vrsible supply Is low. Anthracite ranges from $8.70 to $8.90 when purchased from the big. sest companies, but some independent dealers are asking $10 and bitumin ous $7.50 to $7.90. Prices have risen twice in Phila delphia within a month, some being $2.25 higher than a year ago. Dealers complain that the railroads are not making deliveries. Richmond, Va., has anthracite at $9.30 and soft at $7.50. Boston dealers are getting $l.u0 to $8.50 and say prices are a matter of day to day conditions. Consumers Holding Back. In Columbus, Ohio, consumers are holding hack awaiting government prices. The rates range from $6.50 to $6.75. Indianapolis prices are un. changed, but Chairman E. I. Lewis of the public service commission warned consumers of short supplies, predicting cold homes. Hard coal is $9.60 in Chicago and soft $5.35, the latter hav ing dropped $1.50 when the govern ment fixed mine prices. St. Paul dealers asserted a severe winter would cause serious conditions in Minnesota and eastern North Dakota as the sup P'y 's nearly 3.000.000 tons short. SCORES CITIES i (Continued from ITtem Onet other parties were combined and com pletely in agreement on a resolution favoring an immediate break in rela tions with Germany. They constltut ed an overwhelming majority in the .cnamoer. The government Is still withholding all information as to the course it will pursue. Today, however and despite the paralysis of the strikes It was apparently assured that Presi dent Irlgoyen would announce a din lomatic rupture, If not a declaration of war. One unconfirmed report was that in tne event or a declaration of war, jtrsenuna wouia send troops to Europe, provided the allies furnished snipping ana artillery. Street Car Men Join. Employes of the Buenos Aires elec tric light plant in addition to those already out, held a meeting today to discuss whether they would Join the strike. Part of the local street railway em ployes are already out, and others are debating whether they shall Join. PUSH GERMANS BACK Russians Rout Teutons In Counti-r on Riga Front. Petrograd, Sept. 25.

Strictly prime cattle are not affected by the outpouring of middle and low grade cattle today, and the quotation of $17 or a little better still applies to top notch finished steers. Kansas grass steers range from $9.50 to $13 In most cases. Oklahomas $7.50 to $11.50, Texas $10 to $11.90. North west Nebraska $10 to $12, Colorado $U to $11.25, Idaho and Oregon to 11.50, odd head recently 12.50. Utah $9 to $10.50. The entire range country is bosy shipping, hence the extraordinary large supply of fered today. Butcher grades sell at $ft to $10, Teal eslves up to $13.25. STOCKERS AND FEEDERS. Shipments out last week were 24,000 head, rather light in view of the run of 81,000 cattle, prices firm at the start, but 25c to 40c lower at the finish, stock steers $H.75 to $10.50. feeders $8.75 to $11.50. choice fleshy feeders up to $15. There is a good demand today, tho prices are 10c to 25c lower. HOGS. The top paid today, $18.95, was not the limit of the market, choice hogs being worth $19.00. medium weights $18.90. lights, $18.80. Receipts at all points are very light, but extra strong competition centers at Kansas City, keeping prices here a little above competing points, aud higher thsn Chicago, much of the time. A feature here is tbe big trade in Immune stock hogs, snd tbe keen demand for pigs on the yards from owners of immunizing plants, such pigs selling out of first hands at $10.50 to $17.25. Good corn weather strengthens the demand for immune ahoats. except from some dry parts of Texas, few pigs are being offered for sale. SHEEP AND LAMBS. The market is off a dollar per cwt since the middle of last week on lambs, not as much on bredlng ewes. Some good feeding lambs sold st $17.50 this morning, snd some Arixonas were nnsold at noon, held st $17.25. ewe lsmbs $17.50. Choice west era fat lambs are worth aronnd $17.50. plain natives today $10.90. A string of Montana breeding ewes, good mouths, sold this morning at $16, feeding ewes -worth $10.50 to $12.00. J. A.

The Herald says There is a mixed feeling in tbe corn trade. Some close observers of emu; condition re gard it as impossible for the entire crop to mature this year without dnmage hI- 1 mo weamer rany remain iRvoranie mr this theory say that the market sbtwa inherent strength as was demonstrated yesterday and are Inclined to buy on breaks. Others can see nothing In the speculative situation but lower prices and sell whenever there are signs of weak ness. The absorption of corn toward the last yesterday was attributed to covering by some of the largest shorts which en abled those who were long snd had offers bought to get out a surprising quantity of corn without the trade knowing how much business was actually done. There is a two sided market in oats. Some of the closest observers say that the effect of tbe large crop as bearish argu ments has mainly been lost and they pre dict better prices as long as the war lasts. The strength in tbe cash market toward tbe last happened to scare in a lot of shorts. There were deliveries of 1i0.0ii bushels on September eon tracts after the close which went to bouses that have been tbe largest buyers presumably on seaboard orders. New York.

Look for the special "Remnant Day" price cards in every section and department cn every floor. Business Men Pledge Support to All Activities It a truly a dawn of a new era for the Topeka Chamber of Commerce, according to the spirit and pledges made at the first "get-together" meet ing of more than 250 members of the organization held Monday night. Kvery single person of the club pave his pledee to serve as a pusher and to get out of the "be pushed" branch of the club that had grown so large uurlng the last two years. In answer to the plea for co-operation made by Charles L.' Mitchell, newly-elected president, more than 200 members agreed to spend no less than one hour each week in work for the city thru the Chamber of Com merce. It was a pledge that meant everything to the new officers, Charles L. Mitchell, president; George P. Mc Kntire, first vice president; and C B. Merriam, second vice president, they all declared. It proved to them that their offices would not be a burden but a pleasure, and that work thru the Chamber of Commerce would be more concentrated and more effective than evf r before. William A. Uiny, full of originality and ninger. national treasurer for the Knilils and Ladies of Security, was m of fh- main speakers at the get triz f hr Bupr entertainment. He la iii i-etfr? the 275 guests the utails ti:e proposed Knights and Ladies home and hospital for which the Cl;imber of Commerce has promised to provide a site on Martin's hill. It was a picture of happy and prosper ous Topeka that he pictured to the guests in his talk. "The proposition is second only to the Santa Fe offices in money and in th1 number of persons that would be attracted to the city," he declared. "It will bring more people to the city each year than any single institution,'' Mr lliby stated. As an advertising project. Mr. Itiby pointed out. the location of the home and hospital as a national institution of the organization, would cause more advertising letters to be sent from the city than any five business institutions m w in the city, in the last sixty-five 1h y. according to Mr. Biby. the Knif.his and Ladies of Security have sent lti0,0oo letters into twenty-eight different states. Thiff he declares is more thssn any sinsle business of To peka can truthfully say. Million Hollar Plant. The home and hospital will mark the expenditure of $1.000. Outi in less than nine years. Even the civic im pinvenv nt. Mr. Biby said, would be worth thne or four times he amount to be given by Topeka men and wom en fvr the purchase of the site. In fid-Iition to the money invested in the hit Ming, there will be nearly half that r mount spent in Topeka in less than fie years by visitors that the home and hospital would attract to the city. A picture of utter contentment and happiness was pictured to the guests Ht the supper Monday night. The home will consist of four main build ings, an orphan home, an old folks horn", hospital building and an ad ministration building. It will be lo cated between Kixth and Tenth street, west of Wanamaker. on the very crest of Martin's hill and just east and south of the Kaw river. It will be bordered on the west by a virgin for- st of 40 acres and will be completely turrounded by hard surfaced boule vards, according to plans of the Knights and Indies of Security. On either side of the main entrance to the grounds will be fields of flowers lotted in tracts as large as 150 yards wioe nnd nearly a quarter of a mile Ion. It was truly a picture of "happy va:i? that William Biby painted. Tie whole meeting pointed to the IZi irhts and Ladies of Security home mi' hospital as the largest project for the city that has been brought before the public since the Santa Fe shops vere secured. 'Frank 1 MacL-ennan. f the State Journal, pointed out that the building of the home would be an investment on the part of contribu tor to the $33,000 promised for lan.l I for the home. They would receive nearly 1.700 per cent on theirxinitial investment. If business men of the city can be shown this point. Mr. Mic Lenran J-clared. the $33,000 cam paign would soon be ended. Payments on the pledges made for the home, E. H. Crosby stated, would be made in three payments, 30 days, Fix months and a year. 'The banks, according to Mr. Crosby, would rake up the pledges and the site proposition would be ended and the home would be under way within a year. Other business matters broughr be fore the pep imbued guests were es tablishing of a cafeteria lunch in con nection with the cafe now operated at noon at the Chamber of Commerce, setting aside one day a month as bar gain day in the city and on that day entertaining the out-of-town people at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. A scheme for giving social dances once a month for the membeiyj, their wives and friends was also taken un der consideration. Speakers of the evening's program were Marco .Morrow, O. A. Guflei, D. V. Mulvane, Arthur J. Carruth, jr., J. M. Kirkpatrick, Henry Auerbach, J. R. Burrow and Frank P. Mac Lennan. Gordon's orchestra contributed much to the evening's program with several numbers of popular music during the cafeteria supper. It was music with their meals to the guests and as enjoyable as a program could be. Music, maybe, and cheers for the pep of the organization sounded the keynote of the program. Following practically every talk cheers from the miniature "thundering thousand" ex pressed the appreciation of the guests for the program. As the closing part of the entertain, merit, drill team of Capital council No. 1, Knights and Ladies of Security, went thru the drills of cross, double cross and "K," "L" and "S" forma tions for the guests. The drills were the same as those that won for the team the state championship in the recent contest at Emporia anJ several prizes at national drill programs. i The offer of th fiathrmit companies in IVmmy VHi)in to give garden lits to their I tinilnye wni six-eptetl by more thn ii.uoo 1 persons The fcui.jmiiK' provided Pct'dS J cad ai-iemific lustrm-rlons alto.

He is a bright and able man and one capable of doing much good for his country. It is his action in turning his talents in the direction of opposing every measure for the winning of the war that is objectionable to the. vast majority of the people. It matters not now whether the war be right or wrong: whether we should have gone In or stayed out. we are in it and to use the words of William J. Bryan, a pacifist of the pacifists, we must fight ft thru. This is no time to stop and argue. The president, the congress and the country have placed the mark of their approval on the War and those holding contrary views should bow to the will of the majority. S China is showing the proper spirit. Phe is ready and willing Jo put from 25.000 to 300,000 armed men on the fighting front' in Europe if somebody will furnish the money. France wants the men but hasn't the cash. Of course everybody is gazing in the di rection of Uncle Sam. Japan is in a position to furnish an army or the money which China needs but the Nipponese are not unduly exerting themselves in any effort to win the war. There even seems to be some (Iilestlon whether she will permit the Celestials to help. A veteran rmy pf Chinese returning from European battlefields would not be viewed with entire serenity by the island govern ment. When the peace conference sets about arranging for the future tran quallity of the world it will do well to keep an eye on Japan. i Just when Argentine pefflence is at jhe) breaking point a German subma rine has sunk another Argentine ship. An individual who would act as Ger many does would be sent to the hos pital for the insane. It is now said that Expert Coffin, who is In charge of airplane manu facture for the United States, esti mates the life of the new Liberty motor at 300 hours. According to this authority, the enormous power devel oped by the new motorwill tend to pound a machine to pieces, thus rend Vring Its period of usefulness com paratively short. It Is predicted that 20.000 of the new type of flying ma chines will be turned out within a year. In which case the short life of the flier will be to a certain extent offset. Mr. Coffin also estimates that four men with training will be re quired to keep a single air craft in service a year. Contracts have al ready been let for six, eight and ten cylinder motors. Some of the soft coal operators in West Virginia have asserted that they cannot pay the wages demanded and pell coal at the price fixed by the gov ernment, and that unless concessions re made to them they will close down hei mines for the period of the war. Millers In Minneapolis and Chicago fcive warning that the refusal of farm ers in the northwest to sell wheat at the price fixed by the government will force them to close down. Millers and bakers in Chicago predict a bread famine there unless the farmers speed ily ship their wheat to market in greater volume. An Increase in the price of bread is already being-threatened. It would be the climax of irony ays the Rochester Democrat, if the government's attempt to alleviate the fcread situation were to result in Thread's costing more, rather than less. The growers of citrus fruits in Cali fornia have carried co-operation to a high point of efficiency. In addition to shipping their product thru the agency of an exchange they have their own mutual insurance compact. They pperate a supply company which last Vear purchased for its members pack ing house and orchard supplies worth 15,459.574. A large tract of timber land with saw mills and lumbering equipment from which box wood is made is owned and operated by the growers. In order to dispose of the unmerchantable lemons a by-products plant has been constructed which last year converted pear cent of the lower grades into citric acid and other by products. The interests of the grow ers' are guarded by a traffic depart ment and a legal department and oth er staffs of experts. PEACE IX THE A IK. In his Financial Review issued-last week a'nd covering the money situa tion in its relation to the war Henry Clews says: "Peace is in the air. Austria under its new ruler wants peace. Political developments In Hungary this week show a corresponding feeling in that division of the dual kingdom. Bul garia, too, it is reported in responsible quarters, is desirous of beginning peace negotiations. The German peo ple earnestly desire peace. But the German military machine still stands out apparently as determined as ever obviously hoping Urr some develop ment that will permit it as victor to bring the war to a close. This is a situation that cannot endure much longer. Thus it behooves our country to bring fotth at the earliest possible moment every ounce of our fighting strength, not alone in men, but in all other forms of our great national wealth." The new war revenue bill he de clares .will soon be pn the statute books. Income taxation will be very heavy. But neither this nor the excesc profits tax will be as confiscatory as .some of the more radical members of congress have desired. We all must do our share In what will undoubtedly always stand out prominently among the greatest crises of the world. The staggering figures that are being granted in the form of appropriations, and the bond issues and the forms of taxation to provide for these appro priations, all are merely a measure of the determination of the administra tion to bring to bear at once the very utmost of our fighting efficiency, in order that the conflict may be brought as promptly as possible to a victorious close. It is no time for half measures. We have already surprised the enemy by sending to France a considerable army of clean-cut intelligent men who are eager and able to fight for democ racy. We must continue sending well equipped men imtll we have an army that will by its strength, intelligence and determination convince the enemy or the futility of continuing Its losing struggle. Preparation and more prep aration cannot fail in this way to prove the most effective means for conserving the lives of our young men. Financial sacrifices must be patrioti cally borne. The war must be won and all must do their bit. It is reported that one Kansas far mer will refuse to sow wheat because the price fixed by the government Is too low. He will plant alfalfa Instead. When it is considered that alfalfa is selling at $25 a ton his plan may not be a bad one. But whether the far mers plant wheat or alfalfa the auto mobile trade is not likely to suffer. WOMEN ORGAXISTS. The women organists of America have won their place with distinction and are holding it with ever increas ing success. In the other branches of the art of music they have shown unusual nat ural talent and ability, but none more so than in organ playing and the di rection of church music. A theory long prevailed that women had not the strength to master the dif ficulties of the organ nor were they able to conduct choirs and choral or ganizations. It may have been just this which has given the incentive for work and perseverance, qualities in which they excel, says Dr. W. C Carl, organist of the First Presbyterian church. New York City, for we have at the present time, women who are not only a credit to the profession which they repre sent, but many who are holding im portant positions with enviable suc cess, beveral of the prominent churches in New York City now en gage women to preside at their organs and to conduct their choirs. One of the most influential Fifth Avenue congregations has chosen a woman organist, who engages and di rects the large professional chorus choir and soloists, presenting an ora torio every Sunday during the season, and frequently with the assistance of an orchestra. It must not be supposed that their activities are confined to New York City, for at the present time many Im portant posts thruout the country are held by them. Women understand or ganization, patience and perseverance, qualities most essential for the organ ist, and this they have cultivated to a nigh degree. In the study of the in strument, if a subject is not mastered in a given time, with them it is pur sued persistently until accomplished. Women are almost invariably good students, and are cultivating a desire for the theoretical side of the art, as well as the study of legitimate organ music. Inthe concert field they have won a brilliant success, and are interpreting the works of the great masters with skill and intelligence. One kind of legislation that iiever experiences much delay In its passage thru congress is an appropriation bill. That body will vote away money with out hesitation but when it comes to arranging for collecting it, all sorts of delays are encountered DEPARTMENT STORE SCHOOL TUB TOPKKA TA r E JOI'KN a L INFORMATION Bl'BEAC By Frrrterir J. Haskln. Director. Washington. D. C. Was h i n st t o n D.1 C SeD t. 25 De- partment-store education has nowftomres often return their purchases emerged from the experimental stage. t has proved its value. A -few years ago, a store that sent its saleswomen to school was unique; today, the cus tom ia general. Even small stores that cannot afford schools maintain night classes in salesmanship, while the larg- establishments have even added foreiyn languages to their school cur ricula. Salesmanship has "become a prolession. While such education is purely a business measure, for the good of the firms offering it. it has accomplished a reat deal tor the individual. It has given a large number of persons op portunity for euucation. For this rea son the United States bureau of edu cation, anxious to. encqurage the move ment, has made a stu.K- of the Boston school of salesmanship which they consider an excellent model for other stores -desirous of introducing courses n salesmanship. The Boston school was the first of its kind in existence and encountered all of the prejudices always aroused by an innovation. In 1S05, the wo men's educational and industrial un ion of Boston started an investigation of the problems of saleswomen. On .the executive committee of the union was a Mrs. Lucinda Wyman Prince, a 1 nolait cr-i-o rluata anil u annia 1 ntnpLr. er. who became so ipterested in the re- j suits of the investigation that she de- cided to espouse the saleswoman's cause. At that time she was the leader of a I club of fifty working girls who met at the union two evenings a month. Among them were many girls who worked in department stores. Already the majority of them, past thirty, were derelicts They hated their work, they grumbled at their small wages, and they lived small, starved and discon tented lives. Mrs. 'FVince realized iliat they were probably not worth any more to their 'employers than the small wages they were paid, and yec. many of them had bright and recep tive minds. If only they might go to school. thought Mrs. Prince, and thereupon laid plans to start one. The women s union contributed the room, the neces sary equipment and the services of a few other members, and the Boston School of Salesmanship began. But there were no pupils. The local mer chants remained unconvinced. They certainly would not let their employes off fur two or three hours a day to go to school, they told Mrs. Prince, and denied that education had anything to do with salesmanship. One merchant reminded Mrs. Prince that she had never sold goods herself, and therefore knew nothing about it. At which lady undertook to show him. She volunteered as a saleswoman during a bargain sale, and sold so much goods that the merchant cheer fully threw up his hands by way of surrender when she showed him her sales slips. He agreed to let a few of his salesgirls go to her school. Other Boston merchants soon followed his example. At first the girls were paid only half salary while they were go ing to school, but as the value of the education began io demonstrate Itself in increased sales, they were put on full -salary. At the beginning of the course, each pupil is asked to fill out an application blank which contains various tiues tlons designed to give an idea of her habits and tastes and to furnish need ed statistics. In dealing with a class of this kind individual work is essen tial. Some girls, for instance, are more artistic than others. "Where one might become an expert saleswoman in an art goods department, she might fail miserably in selling kitchen uten sils because she was not interested in them, and vice versa. The idea is to discover the girl's best talent and develop itT If the school finds, as sometimes it does, that the girl has no talent whatever for selling goods it tries to direct her abilities into other lines of woj-k which she can do. The subjects taught in the course, are given in the report as follows: Salesmanship To teach the tech nique of selling and to develop a pro- icDaiuimi aiLuuae towara tne work. Textiles To give information about the stock and to develop an apprecia tion of its qualities. General Merchandise The same Hygiene and Physical Education To promote good health and develop an attractive personality. Arithmetic To develop accuracy Store System To give familiarity with the rules and forms of the store English To develop forcefui speech. Color and Design To train color sec standards of good tste and to develop a tense of beauty. The first lesson deals entirely with the topography of the store. A map of the store, showing its relation to the nearby streets, its entrances, exits, elevators, stairways, fire-escapes and the general distribution of merchan dise by departments and floors. This is because the first and most Import ant duty of the saleswoman is to di rect customers. Next the girls are instructed in the care of stock. Department stores may lose thousands of dollars thru the carelessnes of their employes in this respect a fact which usually does not trouble the untrained salesgirl.. But, when it ia understood that damaged, shopworn, old merchandise leads to the inevitable mark-down sale; that a department which must resort ire- quently to such sales to secure money and room for new stock is not in a prosperous condition: that a depart ment wnicn is not yielding a good pro fit can not increase waves; the simple but necessary work of stock-keeping becomes invested with new interest. The study of salesmanship itself is divided into four parts: First, lessons on the technique of selling; second, informal discussions of pupils' daily experience; third, store system, and fourth, demonstration sales. The trained saleswoman, for instance, soon lecrns to droo lier weary method of approaching a customer and inquiring if she is "waited on." She Is there to sell themgoods and not to "wait on them." She is a professional. There fore she inquires instead, "Can I show you some new materials that have just come in or "Have you seen the new waists that were Advertised in this morning's paper?" Perhaps only the trained saleswo man understands how annoying it ls to be followed arounc a counter by a silent but watchful saleswoman who manages to Imply by her mantrer that she is there to guard rather than to sell the goods. For the trained sales woman Fometimes -assumes the role of customer at the school. There are demonstration sales In which one girll arranges the merchandise, another sells it. another buys it. still another acts as floorwalker. She also learns I to drop her effusive endearments when talking up her. goods to a cos i tomer. for "honev" and "dearie" in t the Eoston school of salesmanship are J j strictly taboo. j There is nothing tnat win mane i customer dron a garment quicker I than the excessive admiration of some i D. iMOTrl Mm-oover j a v.

When she tried it on it clashed with her coloring. Before she went, I sold her a gray coat, which was very becoming. It took some per suasion on my part to get her iway from the old reme coat." If the school of salesmanship taught nothing valuable besides its course on hygiene, the merchants would be get ting their money's worth. Selling goods, under any circumstances, is a business requiring inexhaustible patience and consideration qualities which are largely dependent upon good health. In Boston the school of salesmanship found that the average salesgirl went without breakfast, ate at luncheon usually consisting of -a cup of coffee, doughnuts and a piece at pie, and wore clothes in imitation of ladies who rode in limousines and could therefore afford to leave their throats and ankles exposed. Further more, altho compelled to stand eight hours a day, they were very fond of high-heeled frivolous shoes. The school sought to change these things tactfully, of course. They did not lind fault with the things the girls at-5 or wore. The teachers simply gave lec tures on various matters affecting the health, in which they emphasized the proper things to eat and wear, ano ap peared to take it for granted that the girls already knew. And the girls, eager to show that they were not mis taken, followed the advice of tho lec tures. The report for the bureau of eduJ cation was prepared by Helen Rich Norton, associato director of the Bos ton school of salesmanship, and con stitutes one of the most authoritative contributions that have ever oeen made on the subject of department store education. It is interesting to the salesgirl who. wants to' get ahead in her profession; to the business man who is anxious to increase his profits; and to the customer who may get an interosting view of herself as others see her.

"For these positions the soldiers will, be chosen who are most correct in the performance of duty and in mili tary bearing, neatest in person and clothing, and whose arms and accou terments are in the best condition." It is decidedly a compliment to any soldier to be designated tq. serve as an orderly. An orderly usually accompanies the officer wherever he goes, assists or serve him in accordance with direc tions, caryfes messages for him, and the like. Exterior guard duty consists of keep ing watch at a distance from the main body of troops. When a camp is within possible striking distance from the enemy, it is necessary to place small parties of men at points where they may observe an approaching en- emy. give tne alarm, ana n possioie check or stop his advance. These par- ties are known as outposts. When a large body oi troops Is on the march, advance, rear, and flank guards keep watch on the surrounding country. In general, their duties are similar to those of outposts. GLOBE MISTS (From the Atchison Globe. Most of us talk fire prevention after the lire.

"Why, I don't remember that I ever saw Mrs. Robinson when she didn't have a little American flag pinned somewhere on her person, and just to hear her discourse about MY COUN TRY was nothing short of a saored privilege. I never listened to her as she talked with shining eyes and rapt voice about the glory of being an American citizen and the blessings of being able to live in this land of lib erty, without getting choky in the throat and feeling like getting up and waving Ihe Stars and Stripes. Oh, she was the Mrs. George Cohan, all right. "So, of course, when the president called for soldiers to defend the coun try against Germany, I naturally thought that Mrs. Robinson would be the first woman to set an inspiring ex ample by offering up her son to fight for freedom and his native land. But nothing of the kind happened. Mrs. Robinson loved her country and gloried in its freedom, and she was perfectly willing to offer up everyj other woman s son on tne altar oi ner country, but not her own. She was wild with fear until the draft was drawn, and her Sam escaped con scription. 'It wojild kill me,' she said, 'to think of my darling boy being"in those dreadful trenches and perhaps getting maimed or killed. Besides he has gotten a splendid situation now that so many men in his office have gone to the war, and I don't want him to give it up.' 'You have property,' I said to her, 'you have beautiful, tenderly-reared young daughters. How would you like to see everything you possess in ruins as the Belgians haye seen their prop erty? How would you like your daughters to be treated as the mothers in France have, seen their girls treated?' 'I didn't raise my son to be a sol dier.' she repeated, 'and I am doing my bit. I roll bandages at the Red Cross every day.' Yes.' I said, 'you roll bandages for some other woman's son whom you expect to defend you and yours.' "A little farther down the street I met Ann Stebbins, who was simply drolling with Joy because the examin ers had declared her son to be exempt because he had a weak heart, incipient Bright s disease pd bad lungs. "I should think anybody tha.t badly off would be as safe in a first line trench as anywhere else and that it would have been a comfort to his mother to have thought he died de fending his country instead of merely helping out the undertaker, but she didn't see it that way. She would rather know he had seven deadly dis eases than that he was exposed to a bullet. "That night little Mamie Jones came to see me.

I thought pretty badly of Bob. but I liked Mamie and so I congratulated her and asked after her husband. 'He's in a training camp. He has enlisted.' she saTd with a queer little smile. 'I am surprised.' I exclaimed. "Po ls he,' replied Mamie grimly. 'You know Bob and I had been en gaged for a long time.' she went on, 'one of those long drawn out engage ments that never end at the church. Bob kept putting off, getting married, and putting it off until war was de clared and the draft ordered, and he learned that married men would be exempt. Then nothing would do but we must be married immediately. 'I understood why he was sud denly in such a hurry. He thought that marriage wouldn't be as bad as the trenches. But I love Bob, and there's a lot in him There's the mak ing of a man in him, and this war and I are to do the job. So I married him and as we left the preacher's I Bifid: 'Come on, there's a recruiting sta tion in the next block. Enlist and make a good day's work of it" 'I have got a dependent wife,' he chortled.

They have found that in washing the heir it is never wise to use ji make shift but is always advisable to use a preparation made for shampooing only. Many of our friends say they tiet the best results from a simple home-made canthrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about three cents a shampoo by getting some can throx from your druggist, and dis solving a tdaspoonful irt'a cup of hot watci. This makes enough shampoo j liquid to apply 11 the hair instead of juMt the top of the liead, as with most preparations.

The new Third Kan sas infantry regiment is to be merged with the strong and old established Fourth Missouri and presented as a single regiment to "conform with war strength policies in vogue in France. Subserve Weak I'nits. It is the merger of the Kansas and Missouri regiments that aroused of ficials of two states. In the shake up there is the certainty of many changes in-the ranks of commissioned and non-commissioned men. Weak units will be subserved and In many instances placed under new com mands. Appeals in Washington availed not at Mill. Governor Capper sent a tele gram protesting against the change. Governor Gardner planned to leave at once for the national capital to talk it over. But official Washington re fused to wait to talk It over. Speaker Clark appealed to President Wilson. He went to the war department and conferred with Secretary Baker. Ac cording to cllspatcnes loaay ne was advised that the consolidation plan was necessary to make organizations in this country conform to the plan adopted for warfare in France. Not only is it quite probable that the Kansas and Missouri troops will be merged, but further changes are in contemplation. Should the final shakeup show a shortage of men in any of the organization, these units will be filled by men under the select ive draft- In that -manner men with former military training who are now in the training camps at Fort Riley will be sent to Fort Doniphan for service in the national guard organ izations now under federal command. Drafted men from Kansas and Mis souri will be used in filling the gaps, however. GOV'T OWNS PAPER Pro-ennan Organ Off Presses Be- longing to Mexico. Mexico City, Sept. 25.

New jobs, more inspectors, increased salaries ar.d fatter expanse accounts did not produce the state administra tion's promised "efficiency and econ omy" in the state oil inspector's of fice. InNfact, the records show that in August ten inspectors working on $125 salaries -inspected 9,227 barrels less oil and gasoline than did 'six in spectors working .or $100 a month in the same month a year ago under the Frank Cumiskey administration. In the months of July and August this year the "business methods" as applied to. the oil inspection depart ment cost $4,297.94 for salaries and incidentals. The same period last year cost $1,683.30. In July and August, 1916, the six inspectors approved 3 9.64 barrels of oil and gasoline, while ten inspectors working in the same period this year managed to in spect 388,205- barrels. To inspect those additional 7,551 barrels cost $2,614.64, or 34 cents for each addi tional barrel of oil! The state's in spection fee is 3 cents a barrej. In other words it cost the state eleven times the inspection free for each bar rel added by the inspectors during those two months of maximum pro duction. Only Six IiaHt Year. Six inspectors were used last year by Frank Cumiskey, a Hodges ap pointee, who retired from the job as state oil inspector April 1, this year. He was succeeded by Senator. Ben S. Paulen of Fredonia, a Republican and a supporter of the Capper poli cies in two sessions of the state legis lature. A change in the oil inspection de partment provided places for several men who wanted jobs and had made showings of fidelity. F. O. Stone, twice state representative from Lyon county, was placed on the pay roll as a deputy. So was Clarence WT Mil ler, chief clerk of the 1917 house of representatives. Away From Civil Service. An adroit play lifted the oil in spection department from civil ser vice rules. So with the bars down the state administration was able to for get civil service speeches and pro vide places for a few of the worthy and trusted. Where six men former ly aiiacnea tneir names to the pay roll, ten inspectors now enroll at the cashier's desk when pay day comes. Inspector Paulen himself comes to Topeka each month from his home in reaonia and signs the pay roll. When the bars were let down for the free-for-all appointment of in spectors by the state inspectors on approval of the governor arrange ments were also made for more pay. in iaci, witn tne Knowledge of ao me uciwimiem, several things were "arranged" during the legislative session. One' of the ar rangements was the little item of an increase in the salary schedule. Where inspectors formerly received $100 a month for an average indi vidual inspection of -31,621 barrels of oil a month. Inspectors now receive $125 a month for an average indi vidual inspection of 19,410 barrels of oil. By the application of "business methods" in the oil department, ex penses have increased more than 150 per cent a month without an apparent increase in the efficiency of the de partment. Records show a miscel laneous expense of $727.53 for the de partment in August this year neiirly half of the total operating expense for one month of the Cumiskey ad ministration. Nor does the $727.53 pay a nickel of the salaries of the state inspector, ten deputies and a stenographer and office clerk. Their salaries are $1,568.33 a month. SWEET POTATO SEED pigging Time Is the Time to Select Best Tubers. Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 25. Select disease free seed sweet potatoes at digging time and avoid severe loss next season thru stem rot. black rot, ring rot, and soft rot diseases, is the advic of La. K. Melchers, assistant profesaor of botany in the Kansas State Agricultural college. tem rot is lound in 75 per cent of the sweet potato fields of Kansas, and because of this fact the industry has taken a slump in the last few years, peints out Professor Melchers. The repeated use of the same soil in the hotbed year after year spreads these diseases in the field. Soil once infested spreads these diseases every season, even tho perfectly healthy seed is planted. Healthy seed should be selected at seeding time and stored under proper ronditions, thereby insujping the best possible seed for next seass plant ing. Select, large number of healthy appearing hills or vines. and split open the crowns of the runners and exam ine for stem rot. If the crown is in ternally free of disease select the seed from euch hills, for this will -insure clean seed for next year.

Friday afternoon marked the close of the tree fair and Farmers' institute meeting at this place. When this free fair pro position was first mentioned a great many people remarked that this place was not a city like Topeka and that it would be impossible to carry out a free fair as proposed by the promoters. It is conservatively estimated that 1,500 people passed thru the free gate during the two days taken up to carry out the free program given. The big- feature of the first day was the speech by C. O. Drafyton. national president of the Farmers' Equity union, and the placing and judging of the exhibits in the various depart ments. The agricultural exhibits was the finest and beat ever thrown open to the public in Sherman county. Many of the home people even remarked that they had no idea that the county had such products as were shown. Some men questioned whether the products shown were all grown in Sherman county. On Friday a big community dinner was given in honor of the old settlers, it is estimated that at least 500 people pa:took of this dinner. Ross M. Sherwood, of the State Agricultural college and Hays B. White, of the state tax commission? addressed the people during the after noon, and three minute talks were also given by a number of our old set tlers. A number of swift motorcycle races were put on by the local motor cycle boys- Music was furnished by the Goodland Municipal band. 10,000 votetFstrike Great Ijakes Seamen Claim Train ing Is Not Sufficient. Chicago, Sept. 25. The Lake Sea men's union, numbering 10,000 mem bers, has voted to strike, it was an nounced today. The two weeks' mail vote closed at midnight. The ballots will not be officially counted before Thursday, but Victor Olander, secretary of the union, declared the vote was prac tically unanimous in favor of the strike, Olander and other union officials are expected to make one more effort to effect an agreement with the-Lake Carriers" association- before the strike becomes effective October 1. "Our demand is the extension of the 'Atlantic agreement' to the Great' Lakes, "In the manner recommended by the Washington conference August 1, which was approved by the gov ernment," said Olander. "We believe the Great Lakes should be used in training men for merchant ships which ply in the war zone. This was the purpose of the Washington conference. Under existing conditions young men on the Great Lakes are not given the opportunity to become able seamen. As a result thousands quit the boats annually in disgust." If the men walk out, freight traffic on the Great Lakes would be prac tically paralyzed. Owners of pas senger steamers have expressed their willingness for conciliation. About four thousand, seamen, four thousand firemen and two thousand cooks are affected by the vote. LOSES MANY STUDENTS Columbia Vnivcrsity Enrollment Cut Down 25 Icr Cent by War.

Kansas City, Mo.. Sept. 25. The -new federal grain standardization act. which is being protested by many grain growers, will materially raise the quality of the grain grown and marketed In the United States, ac cording to DeForest Piazzek. vice pres ident of the federal grain corporation and agent for the federal food admin istration. "The act is one which has been contemplated anf advocated by the federal department of agriculture for many years," Mr. Piazzek declared, "and I am certain that when grain growers become more familiar with its provisions they will see its intent and its benefits. System or Dockage. "Wheat under the 'act is divided into five grades instead of four as was prevalent before the act became effective. This is an advantage. The main objection is to the dockage, which when properly used, is benefi cial to the farmer and to the elevator operator and mill owner. "The system of the dockage oper ates in this manner, taking for in stance wheat. When the farmer brings his wheat to the elevator the operator ef. the elevator takes just an even pound of wheat, weighing it,to make a scientific calculation. This pound of wheat is then sifted and the dirt, sand. weed Beeds and other foreign articles are eliminated. It is again weighed and the dockage a pound on the wheat sold is based upon the weight ot tne wheat after it has been sifted. Elevators Guess at Dockage. "Many of the elevators at the pres ent time are not equipped to make a scientific grading of the wheat on this basis so-tney are using a large margin of ckage to protect themselves and it is this fact which has caused dis satisfaction among the wheat growers. However, the elevator operators will soon be able to do the sifting ana grading scientifically and I believe the growers will then see the advantage of the act. "The act gives an incentive to the farmer to grow the higher grades of wheat and to separate the pure grain from all foreign elements with it which will be an advantage to himself and an advantage to everyone con cerned. It is not just that he should receive as much money for wheat that is filled with weed seeds, dirt and sand, as for wheat cleaned from all impurities, which is the real grain." WANT SUBCOMMITTEE Urge Housq to Inquire Into "Cause" Denounce Inuly Pickets. Washington, Sept.. 25. Shall a, spe cial houte committee on woman suf frage be created? This question was before the house today for determination in the form of a report presented by the rules rrrittte recommending the creation of such a committee with prospect of favorable action, xne- senate nas a similar committee. Support of the committee's recom mendation is urged in a letter received today by house members from Mrs. Maud Wood Park, congressional chair man of the National American Wo man Suffrage association. "We be lieve that fair minded men, whatever their views on the general question of woman suffrage," wrote Mrs. Park, "will agree that a principle of r.uch f undeniable national importance should be considered by a committee which has time for a thoro investigation of the subject." The letter concludes with the stsrte mcnt that the association of which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt is presi dent, "has no connection with the small group of women, in a different organization who have adopted the tactics of 'picketing" the White House" and adds that the association has re peatedly declared its disapproval of such tactics. DANCE BIG SUCCESS 1 Topeka Medical Ietaetunent Raises $500 for "Rainy Day" Fund.

Every man, woman and child In the United States is to be given the opportunity to be come a contributor to the war funds of the nation by the provisions of the bond and certificate bill now before the president. The measure provides for the issuance by the federal treas- ury of war savings certificates. Sec- i retary McAdoo has announced that they will be sold in as small denom inations as $5. These certificates will also be used to encourage war time thrift among the subscribers. PfSns are under way by which stamps of small denominations may be purchased and carried in books is sued for that purpose and accumulat ed until a sufficient amount has been saved to purchase a war savings cer tificate of $5. which will bear interest at the rate of four per cent per an num, payable at maturity. Redeem Certificates. The government will also redeem these war certificates at any time be fore maturity upon request of the holder, allowing interest at a less rate than four per cent. Secretary McAdoo has appointed a war savings committee to direct the campaign for the .encouragement of thrift and economy by means of these war savings certificates. Frank A. Vanderlip of New York has been named chairman of the committee, which also includes Mrs. Geo. Bass of the Women's Liberty Loan committee. Frederick A. Delano, of the Federal Reserve board, Henry Ford of Detroit, Kugene Myer, jr., of New York, and Charles L. Paine, secretary-treasurer of the Boot and Shoe Workers Inter national Union. McAdoo's 'Statement. Secretary McAdoo made this state-. ment: It is vitally necessary that the American people should practice sav ing on a large scale during the prog ress of the war. In no other way can. the-government be financed and with out adequate financing our soldiers and sailors can not be supplied with guns, ammunition, clothing and food, nor can the war be carried to a swift and victorious conclusion. This will give every man, woman and child, in America, no matter how small his means, the opportunity to do some thing to help the government." BACK TO BUGGY RIDES! Health Hint by Carriage Makers Business Booming Despite Autos. Chicago. Sept. 25. The old fash ioned buggy ride as a health conserv- er, was advocated today by George W. Houston of Cincinnati, assistant secretary of the Carriage Builders' Na tional association, the oldest business organization in America. A three-day convention of the association opened here today. "Automobiles are enjoying a boom but manufacturers of buggies and car riages are doing more business now than for many seasons," Houston said. "Ambulance bodies, gun carriages and other war equipment are being made in carriage manufacturing plants." Houston also said there has been a 40 per cent increase in the price of horse drawn vehicles within the past year. Increased price of steel and higher wages caused the advance, he said.

MULE IS A SLACKER He Refuses to Do His Bit in New York Subway. New York, Sept. 25 A sawed-off, undersized- runt of a mule, whose name should have been "Slacker," de clined to be drafted for subway con struction work al the Times Square. For an hour with flying heels and bared, snapping teeth he kept thou sands screaming with laughter. The draft board did not laugh. It was composed of a small negro, a traffic cop and a burly laborer. The laborer was kicked nearly thru a kiosk across the street when he bravely essayed to push "Slacker" into the box to which he was to be lowered into the subway. "Slacker's" hind legs were finally lassoed and tied and he was blind folded. Then, still protesting, he was lifted bodily and dumped into the box. "Yah, lemmouta 'ere," screamed a voice rich with color. "Dis 'ere mule am ah eatin' off mah haid." "Slacker's" mouth was full of wool and the negro boy was green with fright when they finally separated. The crowd cheered and encouraged "Slacker" to do his bit as he was lowered to the trench. Now "Slacker" is somewhere in the subway, and further news is censored. EXPERTS CROSS WIRES. Star Witnesses Diametrically Diss frrce in Kansas Poison Trial. Salina, Kan., Sept. 25.

I THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBFR 25, 1917 NOT AFIT MAN? G. K. Hart man Unfrocked by Church Conference. United Brethren Charge Him With Immoral Conduct. HE CONFESSED TO CHARGES That Is Statement Made by His Family Today. Will ot Be Allowed To Re main in Church. G. K. Hartman, former pastor of the First United Brethren church, at Twelfth and Quincy street, was offi cially uncloaked-from hia position in the ministry of the church, in one of the last actions taken by the state conference which met in Tupeka last week. The fall of the former minister, it was stated this morninp, was due to the fact that he was no longer a min ister of the gospel and was not mor ally fitted for a position as clergyman in the church. "It is a stain on the church," one of .the members stated this morning, to think that Mr. Hartman was al lowed to be pastor of a respectable Christian organization. He is no min ister of the gospel." The offense. with which Hart man was charged by the conference, was of a highly immoral character. It was alleged that his "actions" were perpetrated upon soldiers who have been encamped in the city, dating even before the encampment of the ammunition train at the fair grounds. Violation of Vows. "His acts were in violation of the vows that he took as an ordained min ister years ago," one of the members of the conference stated. Mr. Hartman left the city early this morning, according to his family. He admitted his guilt to the church con ference, his family declared, rather than to Ftand trial before the confer ence assembled. Huff ma n Wouldn't Talk. G. M. Huffman, secretary of the church, and himwelf an ordained min ister, refused to make any further statements against the man. The charges were sufficient to cause his expulsion from the ministry of the church and further details of his acts would not be disclosed, Mr. Huffman said. 11 BILLION BILL A LAW Prrcldent Signs Measure Authorizing Xew IJlx-rty Ijoan.

HOME Many Rumors Afloat About Lit tle Foundling Baby, Miss Kate King Says It Will Soon Be Adopted. The lost baby case as explained in the State Journai of Monday is excit ing no end Jl comment. No one seems to blame the county officials for refusing to prosecute the sister and while many would enjoy seeing the man in the case get all that is coming to him they realize that to do so would necessitate the bringing to light of all the bitter details of the escapade. Some declare it is a story and that's all. Apparently from the attitude of county officials those persons will go to their graves with that belief in their minds. Absolutely no further details of the affair will be divulged unless unexpected developments' oc cur. The skeptical today were inclin ed to think the baby belongs to weal thy and influential Topeka people. Baby Poorly Dressed. The only tangible reason advanced for this belief was a fact reported to the effect that the baby when found was dressed in beautiful clothes. That lone bit of evidence of the failure of the story to hold water was cast to the winds today. The baby was very poorly dressed," said Mits Kate King, probation offi cer. "We have hud to hunt up cloth ing for it." Miss King announced that tempo rarily the baby has been placed in a home in Topeka. In a short time it will be formally adopted by the society represented by Miss, King and a per manent home sought for it. Mean time, further attempts of the curious to brins names of those involved and to satisfy their curiosity will meet with rebuffs from county officials. "Why probe into it merely for the sake of furnishing an afternoon of conversation when it will do absolutely no good and do the mother and sister no end of harm," said a county offi cial today.

Official announce ment was made today that German aviators last night dropped bombs on the heart of London and on Dover, South End, Chatham and Sheerness and also on Dunkirk, Northern France. All the machines returned undamaged, the statement says. Many Windows Shattered. London, Sept. 25. Viewed by day light this morning the damage result ing from the visit of the German raiders to London last night appear ed to be surprisingly slight. The num ber of bombs dropped Sn the London district was small and the practical results were- almost negligible. The chief damage visible was brok en glass. In" one spot where a heavy bomb landed squarely in the middle of the street, a hole four feet deep was torn. The spot was fenced off and men were at work repairing the pavement. The concussion of this bomb broke glass over several acres, including windows in neighboring ho tels in which are many Americans, Canadians and Australians. Only three persons were killed by this explosion. All of them were standing in a door way watching the explosion of shrapnel over head. In this district about half a dozen per sons were wounded, mostly by break ing glass. Wagon loads of glass were SweDt un and carried awnv .nrlv in the morning. Two or three other bombs which fell in London caused even less dam age. INDIANS JOIN ARMY Cliorokces Enlist Vnder Draft at Camp Jackson, S. C. Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C, Sept. 25.

Berlin, Sept- 25.- Thf central gov erning committee of National Liberal party in general session yesterday adopted a resolution outlining th at titude of the party in regard to cur rent foreign and domestic issues in the new platform which was adopted unanimously. The reichstag s peace i t resolution of June 19 is roundly scored I las inimiral tn ricrtnn ti v'a future iLf- velopment. The resolution continues: 1 "Germany's future security cannot Lrest on international treaties alone It must be founded on German might and strength. "Without ample war in demnities Germany would not be pro tected against future menace and our political and economic development would be retarded for decades. "The military situation gives us the surety that Germany's borders are receiving ample protection and That our economic future as a result is fully safeguarded." Opiiogcs Vote JU'form. The resolution opposes the introduc tion of a parliamentary system but calls for confidential and intimate co operation between the guvtrnment and the reichstag. It also opposes the broaching of the Alsace-Lorraine problem, either now or at the time of the peace negotiations. The familiar criticism of President Wilson is con tained in the resolution. In addressing the committee Dr. Gvstav Stresemann outlined the par ty's national platform which swings this faction far to the right among the reichstag parties on the strength of the principles enunciated by Doctor Stresemann and subsequently incor porated in the resolution. Doctor Stresemann Ftated that in the present excellent military and political situa tion Germany was prepared to begin peace negotiations. The submarine, he asserted, was the deciding weapon. England Fears V-boat. England was now compelled, he said, to carry on the war rith. a stop watch in hand. Her rank as a mari time nation had been shattered and if she decided to go on, the U-boat would force her to make peace. The speaker deplored the fact that Ad miral von Tirpitz, former marine min ister, had nt been permitted to car ry out his plan. The opinion was expressed by Dr. Stresemann that the reichstag peace resolution had materially harmed Germany's prestige abroad, lie also rebuked the talk now heard in re gard to Belgium, arguing that even if Germany really had reached a decis ion such conclusions should not be permitted to become public at this time.

Such touches as these from Colonel Roosevelt were what the crowds seemed to like the best: "I would havfe fought at the drop of the hat after the sinking of the Liusitaniflt.' And again: "A nation which won't fight to protectN its unarmed men, women and children is not worth call ing a nation." "Germany," said Colonel Roosevelt, "thinks we are very rich, very boast ful and that we won't fight. Ger many uses the pacifist and the pro German, but feels even a deeper con tempt for them than the contempt we oup:ht to feel for the, pacifist and his brethren." "If we do not show we have the power to overcome our foes, you can guarantee absolutely it will be neces sary to show the power of self defense here at home," he told his hearers. Way to Win Is to "Hit." "The only way to overcome any an tagonist is by 'hitting. "We are fighting for America, for the United States, but we are also fighting for the rest of mankind, for the right of every liberty loving na tion which does not wrong its neigh bors." When Colonel Roosevelt discussed the nation's lack of preparedness he drew a comparison, with China. "China is yery populous and very helpless," he said. "It has gone on the theory some foolish people have advised we adopt. China is not only a curse to herself; but a danger spot to mankind" at large. If "we 'follow her path, our fate will be China's." Perhaps the heartiest applause of the night greeted Colonel Roosevelt when" he declared that the man "not loyal to this country ought to be sent out of this country." "The citizen who does not stand with us is a traitor," continued Mr. Roosevelt. After praising Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who sat near him, to whom he declared belonged all the credit for the officers training camps because he had given the Plattsburg camp his unqualified approval, despite opposi tion from the war department at tha time. Colonel Roosevelt said: La Follette; Worst Enemy. "Now that I have spoken to you of Americans who stand for and are rep resentative of America, I now wish for a minute to speak to you of an Ameri can who represents the worst of American characteristics--Senator La Follette.

He is doing everything inj his power to enthrone autocracy under) the German flag thruout the world by' the attitude he is now taking toward the war. He is showing himself the wdrst enemy that democracy has now alive. "As was well said just the other day i by Charles Edward Russell, the So cialist, who left the Socialist party when that party became a part of the German machine in this country, 'the utterances of Senator La Follette will, be circulated in Russia everywhere by the tools of Germany to make the ig norant Russians believe that America doesn't mean what she says and that we don't intend to fight in this war.'

Bitter Against America. Colonel -Roosevelt aid in part:" "For no nation does Germany feel and express such bitter and con temptuous hostility as for the United States. There is no nation on the face of the globe which they would be more delighted to ruin and plunder. Under such circumstances the public men and newspapers engaged in de fending Germany or assailing England andV-our other allies or in protesting against the wand demanding an inconclusive peace are guilty of noraI treason to this country, and while the German-American papers have achiev ed an evil prominence in this matter, the professional anti-EngliBh Irish pa pers are as bad and the purely sensa tional demagogic and unpatriotic sec tion of the native American press is the worst of all. "Germany embodies the principles of successful militaristic autocracy. Much has been said about our being against the German government )ut not against the- German people.

Advertiser: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blood Smith, who have been guests at the Gay Teague hotel for several days, return ed Monday evening to their home in Topeka, Kan. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their daughter, Miss Eva Smith, have been attending the annual con vention of the Am rican Bar associa tion at Saratoga, X. V. Mr. Smith is a distinguished lawyer and is chair man of the executive body of the American Bar association. On Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at St. John's Episcopal church. Miss Eva Smith was married to Capt. A. C. Bart ell, headquarters. Sixty-second field artillery brigade. The bride's sister. Mrs. John A. Bobenson, of Fort Riley, Kan., was the only attenelant. The bride wore a lovely costume of white embroid ered lingerie and lace, and a becoming hat of white Georgette crepe. She carried a bouquet of pink Killarney ropos.

Cobbs. rt-ctor of the church, in the presence of the bride's parents and several friends of the young couple. Brig Gen. W. R. Smith was also present at"the ceremony. Owing to military uuties. it was im possible for Captain Bartell to go to Topeka at the present time, so it was decided to have the wedding take place in Montgomery. Mrs. Bartell is a charming girl and both she and Cap tain Bartell will be delightful addi tions to Montgomery society. They are at home for the present at the Gay-Teague hotel. Women of Topeka- as well as women of other places, are continu ally asking if it is necessary to knit for soldiers, or if it is just a fad or a hysterical effort to be doing KujTe thinir to work off excitement about the war. One constantly hears the ques tion: "Is it necessary to knit?" or "Doesn't the government furnish the soldiers with all the clothing they need t An article in an eastern piper answers these questions for the women. The editorial is as follows: "Why aren't more American women knitting?" is the frantic query of ivfaj. Grayson M. P. Murphy, head of the American Red Cross in France. More American women ARE knitting, more than they have knitted for a century in America. Women are knitting everywhere and at every time. But most of them are knitting bright col ored sweaters for themselves, for Christmas gifts to their women friends. It isn't one woman in ten who takes khaki or gray yarn out of the gay bag that swings from her arm. This will be the worst winter that northern France has known. The supply of wood and other fuel which was available last winter has been materially decreased by the summer's warfare. And now there are not only the French and English armies- and the thousands of refugees to be kept warm, but the American expedition ary force. Keeping warm in France this winter for the fighting armies will be a matter of clothing more than of fuel. If there is not enough warm clothing death will reap a greater harvest this winter than war. This isn't sentiment. It is cold fact. Whenever a woman knits a gay colored sweater when she might be knitting for the desperate need over seas she is by her criminal negligence exposing some one to illness and pos sible death. Every ball of fancv varn is one ball of yarn taken tro'm the possible supply of khaki or gray. It is practically impossible to buy khaki yarn today, and the reason is that women have taken to fancy knitting with a fury with which almost no other fad has ever swept the country. There should be a yarn commis sion. The extravagant use of brightly colored yarn should be made impos sible. And women should be made to realize that knitting for themselves is as unpatriotic as a prodigal feast in war time. Topeka club women are boosting the campaign to provide funds for books and magazines for soldiers in the national army. That Topeka will contribute her share of the million dollar national library fund for the soldiers, was made evident by the statements and the spirit of the wom en who attended a meeting in Me morial hall. Thru local organizations Topeka will endeavor to raise 12,500 for the library fund. The plan of organiza tion and work was outlined by James L. King, state librarian. He defined the plan for the national campaign to provide a million dollar fund. Each community, he said, would be asked to raise a fund equal to 5 cents for each man, woman and child. To peka's share is approximately $2,500 and confidence was expressed that the iwey would be raised. Numerous .substantial subscriptions are already assured. Work will be in charge of local clubs, lodges, churches and civic or ganizations in the state. A general committee to direct the campaign in Topeka is composed of the following women: Mrs. M. C. Hammatt. Mrs. Bennett R. Wheeler, Mrs. Hiram Price Dillon, Mrs. James L. King, Mrs. M. A. Low, Mrs. David W. Mulvane, Mrs. L. C. Schnacke, Mrs. George W. Parkhurst, I Mrs. J. ts. walker, Mrs. J. B.

An urgent appeal has orphans of war and of peace (been sent out by Manager Baldemar should- be given into the charge of I women with the talent of motherhood, instead of to a coldly impersonal in stitution. She also thinks that depen dent mothers will serve the state bet ter if thev stick to the business of mothering, than if they start making munitions. "If the war continues for any length of time the problem of the orphan and the problem of the dependent mother will be tremendously acute in every state in the union," she declared. 4,A stupid way of dealing with these problems would be to send orphans to institutions where they will suffer for lack of mothering, and send mothers to the munitions factories, where they will suffer for want of a chance to mother. "All social problems will be com plicated by such an arrangement. Juvenile delinquency, especially, will be greatly increased, if dependent mothers are sent into industry away from their own children." In confirmation of Dr. OeVilbiss's prophecy I recalled that, since the beginning of the war. the children's court of one of the largest American cities has reported a startling increase ln youthful misdemeanors. "Nation-wide mothers pensions need to be provided immediately," she continued, "and on an ample basis. There should -be no more thought of skimping dependent mothers than of putting soldiers on half rations. "But even mothers' pensions will not answer the case of the orphan, or of the mother who is ill. or of her who desires to do some constructive work besides that of bringing up her owii children.

For this business the plant already is established every where. It is the state orphan asy lum, which by a few simple changes in spirit and management, can be converted into a receiving home for dependent mothers and dependent children." "An orphan asylum in this day is an anachronism," she replied. "States have provided for their orphan chil dren nice shiny white beds all in a row, clean blue aprons all alike, three meals a day to which the orphans must march in and out all because they are. orphans, "No normal baby cares much whether his face is clean or whether his clothes are clean and mended. He is all rigl so long as he isn't hungry or sick and has a mother to love him. And why shouldn't he have a mother as well as three meals and a shiny bed at night? "What I should like to see accom plished as soon as possible," Doctor DeVilbiss admitted frankly, "is the conversion of the state orphan aeylum from a more or less permanent insti- tution for children into a receiving home and temporary hospital for or phans and for dependent mothers and their children. "Thus orphans would be brought at once under the care of women who have the talent of motherhood.

Emphasis has been placed on women helpers with rela tives or friends at the front, as no salary, profit, percentage or remun eration of any kind is to be paid any member of the executive board, and the work must be done from a spirit of love and patriotism. The money realized will go toward the purchase of comfort kits, pipes, tobacco, toilet articles, games, and other things requested by the Sam mies to make life at the front a bit more homelike.

The Topeka Home Guards are, to be supplied with rifles in the very near future, according to the state ment of Capt. Arthur Hargis today. Hargis will make an important an nouncement with regard to this mat ter at the company drill this evening, and urgently requests every member to be on hand at 7:30 p. m. He further announced that a num ber of rifles will be taken along on next Sunday morning's hike, and that there will be target practice at a cer tain place on the bank of the Kansas river. The company will drill this evenitur to the music of fife and drum. Now that all other soldier units have left Topeka, the home guards will be the sole reliance of the civil authori ties, as an aid to maintaining order and protecting property, and the very real and important usefulness of the organization is liable to become clear ly apparent at any time. The larger the size of the company the greater will be its effectiveness, and the lighter will be the burden of work re quired from each individual member. It is therefore the patriotic duty of every male citizen not already in the service of his country In some capacity to join the home guards. ARE NOT A SUCCESS Safety Zone Signs Far From Satis factory. Mayor House Says. The brilliant red safety zone signs are not as good as they are painted, according to Mayor J. E. House, and steps will be taken -to make them all they ax supposed be, i The safety signs are neither a bril liant scheme nor are they markers of safety spots for hurrying pedestrians. But it will all change, according to city officials- The plans now under consideration at the city building are to use these safety zone markers dur ing the rush hours of the day be tween 7:30 o'clock in the morning and 7:30 in the evening. In the summer the signs will probably be removed from the streets at 7:30 o'clock and in the winter months, as early as 6:30 o'clock, according to the plans now under discussion. This would make the signs serve the purpose for which the Topeka railway was permitted to place them along Kansas avenue, and at the seme time would protect the standards from abuse by night hawks. The signs were placed on the streets as a result of a verbal agree-, ment between mayor and representa tives of the railway company. The city was to lay off the zones and the railway company was to erect safety zone standards. The results is not the fault of the city, but, according to the mayor, steps will be taken to remove the signs before dark.

Negotiations' already have been opened between the Giants and .the Phillies with a view to switching the final Philadelphia contest to a dou ble header. The Giants schedule car ries them thru the very last day of the season. If they get any rest at all it will be thru changing some game. Sox PiU'hers Prepare. Clarence Rowland already has be gun to tune up his pitchers for the big fray. Reb Russell worked only four innings against Boston before giving way to Claude Williams. Rowland has in Danforth and Wil liams two capable workmen, able however, to travel only a short dis tance most of the time. He has made a success of pulling each of these men after a ball game was about half over and this may be his scheme for the world's series.

Two of the greatest second basemen who have ever wor major league uniforms may vie. with each other in the coming world's series. Eddie Collins, easily the best key stone sacker in the American league since the days of Nap Lajoie, and Charley Herzog, the peppery second sacker of the Giants, are the players-. in question. In a short series of seven games the Hivork of each individual player counts heavily, and for t. is reason the play ing of Collins, as t-gainst that of Her zog. will be interesting, if Herzog is able to get in the series. Both are great fielders und smart base-runners. Both are dangerous hitters, too, and when it co. os to cov ering the bag and tagging runners these two guardianB of the middle sack are there in a dozen different ways. Collins Has Edge. If it came down to .a choice be tween the two there is little doubt that Collins would have the call, foi Collins is generally acknowledged to be a better ball player than his rival on the Giants. But Herzog is the kind of a ball player who does things, ami in a seven-game series he may out shine Collins if the chance comes to him. Collins and Herzog are the cap tains of their respective clubs. They have been honored with the title oi captain because they are smart ball players, who can be depended upon tt make the right play ninety-five times out of a hundred, and because theif quick brains help them to help their team-mates in calling out a play on some other part of the field in a pinch. Without Collins and Herzog in thb line-ups, the White Sox and Giants would be like machines with missing parts. They wouldn't work smoothly and they would be unable to put up the consistent defense around the base lines that has been a great factor ir. the playing of both teams this year An injury to either player, therefore, would be a big handicap to the team, which would have to suffer. Herzog Under Handicap. Late in August the Giants faced tht. loss of Herzog. The scrappy second baseman fainted away after sliding tc the plate in a game in Brooklyn. Ht had injured his spine early in the sea son and in making the slide he hun himself once again. Then and there Herzog got orders from McGraw to make no more slides during the reg ular season and after a short layoff he is expected to come back and begin playing his usual game, though he will play more carefully. Because ot his injury Herzog is not as sure ot himself as he used to be, and he will play under this handicap. But the world's series will be, a bat tle to the finish, and with these two speed merchants putting everything they have into every game the base ball public may expect to see some great work around second base.

TICKET DEMANDS BIG 1,200 Requests for Pasteboards Re ceived by White Sox Sunday. Chicago, 111.. Sept 26. Secretary Harry Grablner. of the Chicago Amer ican DaseDau club, who is In charge of handling the thousands of requests for tickets for the world's series, de clared today that even Sunday with no regular delivery of mail showed no cessation in the rush for reservations. Almost 1,200 special delivery letters were received from persons wishing tickets for all games. Complete arrangements for ticket sales have not been made. President Comiskey has made no ruling rela tive to the number of tickets which may be purchased by an individual, but he is said to be working on a plan that will eliminate the possibil ity of speculators securing a corner on the seats.' Persons making request for more than one set of tickets must supply the name of the persons for whom the additional seats are want ed. Work now is in progress on the several thousand seats which Presi dent Comiskey is adding to his park. Most of these are permanent and will bring the regular seating capacity of the South side park to 32,000. For the world's series there will be room for 33,000 persons. New boxes of con crete are being installed from the stand to the field, eliminating the present abrupt drop.

It's like this: Last winter the legis lature passed a bill keeping an indef inite closed season on the shooting of quail in this state. Because of some error, a bill, purported to be the one i passed by the legislature, was sent to j Governor Capper for his signature, i The bill to Capper provided that there i be an open season on the birds rrom December 1 to 15. It was signed and published in the session laws. Someone questioned the bill as pub lished. Today S. M. Brewster, attorney gen eral, ruled that the bill as published and signed by the governor was not the one signed by the legislature and was therefore invalid. Nimrods can not shoot quail from December 1 to 15. But: Brewster's ruling today throws the whole situation, problem or whatever it' may be designated, back upon the law passed by the leg islature in 1913 which provided that the season on quail be closed for .five years. This five-year season expires March 1. next year and after that quail may be slaughtered for an in definite period under all existing stat utes. The 1919 legislature, however, may end the butchery. FARMER 'BEST TR I END' Bankers Urged to Boost Him t pnd Eliminate Middleman. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 25. When banker and farmer unite against the middleman the country's problem will be near solution, C. L. Pack, presi dent of the National Emergency Food Garden association, told the Ameri can Bankers' association, in conven tion today. "The farmer is the best friend the country has," said Pack. "If he is prosperous you bankers and all the rest of us are prosperous. The thing for you to do is to get together and smash the cornerstone of high prices. Aid the farmer over the rough spots so that he can produce more food stuffs than ever before-" Three million emergency gardens by "city farmers" have produced J350, 000.000 worth of "f. o. b. kitchen door," said Pack. "WTe must produce food as near the points of greatest consumption as possible, rout the middleman and cold storage men and thus relieve the railroads."
