Three of Third Quota Failed To Show at Train. TEARS SHED BY RELATIVES tv v t n liiiirpvspil Men Before They Entrained. Trainloads From Other Places Fass Thru Today. Tears were shed at the Union Pa cific depot this noon when twenty eiKht Shawnee county drafted men left fur Camp Kiinston, the third quota sent from this county. Yet, they were not as profuse as at the leave taking of forty-eight drafted men about a week :iro when the sob bing of mothers, wives and sweet hearts brought lumps to throats of men who didn't know a single one of the forty-eight by sight. Maybe, the loved ones determined to steel themselves against displaying their emotion. Or, maybe. America's heart is getting used to the good-byes flung by tens of thousands of Ameri can mothers, wives and sweethearts to their boys in the last few weeks. The Shawnee county quota of twenty-eight wa,s merely a drop in a bucket compared to thousands of drafted men who passed thru Topeka on the Union Pacific today on their way to Fort Riley. Union Pacific of ficials stated that ten special trains for drafted men are scheduled to pass thru Topeka before sunset tonight. -Bulls" From Leavenworth Here. Two trainloads bearing men from Kansas City. Leavenworth and St. Jo seph and other points passed thru while the Topeka men and their friends and relatives were waiting at the depot. Jack Glynn, former fat. Joseph detective, now chief of police at Leavenworth, and Sheriff H Courtney of Leavenworth, who were in Topeka. were at the depot to wave a friendly goodbye to the Leaven worth lads. As on previous occasions the sides of the cars were plastered with appro- priate if inelegant expressions: "We're the fighting bulls from K. C.'s First Ward," read one. "Who the says we ain't?" was the chullenge appearing below it. The third quota of Shawnee county m-n r.allv number thirty-one. How tver at roll rail on the depot platform just bff. re the trliin left three failed to report Tney are: Axel William Shoberg. State Hospital. St. Peter, Minn.; Wilhelm O. 15. Schmidt, It. R. 1, T-jpeka; Clarence Lee Comstock, K. L. -1, Topeiv'i. Members of the ex empt! .11 boaid believe all three of the men faiinl to make connections and will repcrt for duty. At-hln Talks to Men. The twenlv-eight men reported at the court house at 10 o'clock. There W. K. Atchison, former county attor ney, addressed them. Mr. Atchison put the men in an optimistic mood, iilso their mothers, fathers, etc., who were present. He told of the wonder ful education the trip to France would be for them. Then he quoted statis tics showing that casualties were small in comparison to the large number of men fighting in the French trenches. The men marched out of the court house, lined up in pairs and marched to the l'nion Pacific depot. There was no band, no uniforms, nothing to indicate to those on the street that these men, too, were answering their country's call, some taken from wives and children, to do so. A few stopped and watched the small handful marching down the center of Kansas avenue. At the depot the men were obliged to wait nearly two hours. Surrounded by friends and relatives they walked up ana down tne depot piatiorm. laughed at the antics of the St. Joseph, Leavenworth and Kansas City men, whose train stopped long enough for the men to go to the depot and get box lunches prepared for them by the l'nion Pacific. Finally the train pulled in. A few women cried. Several fathers held their babies in their arms for a few minutes. Kverybody, who had any busintss doing, did some kissing others wanted to do likewise- Girl Writes on far. Miss Hazel Keek, who had a friend among the drafted men. went to the depot armed with chalk. She wrote the following on the side of the car bearing the Topeka men: "Goodbye Topeka. Hello Funston. then France and then home." "I wish it was home now." said a woman standing at the side of the car. William Frederick Kobs. steward at the Hoys" Industrial school, was one of the quota. He was present when the forty-eight men left. One of the forty-eight missed the train and Kobs and another man drew straws to see who would fill his place. Finally, the train whistled out of town. Cheers were heard on all sides. The men waved their hands until the train pulled out of sight to the west. Several stood with babies in their arms until the last minute. Several women Bobbed as the train pulled out of town. SWEDE CABINET UPSET Kinjr C.;;sliiv Immediately Orders Formation of C oalition Ministry. Stockholm, Oct. 3.

BIG ROAD SHOWS LOYALTY Additional Subscription Will Be Made for Employes. Topeka's Pledges Are Boosted to $1,754,000. Formal announcement that the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway will, in the next week, purchase $5,- i 000,000 of the second liberty loan was j made this afternoon by E. I Cope- f land, treasurer for the rosd. The pur- chase will duplicate the subscription of $",000.000 to the first loan. Of the total subscription to the sec- j ond bond issue, $1,500,000 will be purchased by the Topeka treasurer's, office. The remainder will be taken over by treasurers' offices on other parts of the system. The $5,000,000 subscription will be: made by the road proper.

To use an illustration, an empiuye may uuj o hnn,i and nav for it at the rate i an of S.i a monin. ne company win huv the bond, hold it until payments are completed and then deliver it to the employe. Mr. Copeland said today that circu lars announcing to employes the plan in detail are now on the press. They will be distributed with the next pay checks or sooner. "There will be no connection be tween the $5,000,000 the company subscribes and the amount taken by employes," Mr. Copeland said. "The amount the employes subscribe to will be in addition to the $5,000,000." Good Record on First Issue. Employes of the road subscribed to about $350,000 of the first issue thru the Topeka treasurer's office. Em ployes on other parts of the system s-ubscribed enough to bring the total fiyure up to approximately $700,000. Allotment of $1,500,000 of the $5, 000.000 subscription boosts the amount Topeka has subscribed to the second loan to $l,7r4.000. The purchase also hikes the amount of bonds soon to be held by the Santa Fe proper to $10, 000,000, .an amount larger than that held by any other railroad, eastern or western. 3RD TRAIN CAMPS w Series for Officers From January 5 to April 5.

MORE THAN EIGHTY KILLED Thousands of Buildings De stroyed; Palace Damaged. All Business at Standstill; Kails and Wires Taralyzed. Tokio, Oct. 3. The most destructive typhoon and flood in twenty years to day destroyed thousands of buildings, rendered 40,000 homeless, paralyzed railroads and shipping and did $3,000,000 damage in the city of Tokio alone. At least eighty are dead. The storm broke Monday. It struck first in the 'icinity of Tokio bay and over the eastern Pacific. The whole shore line was inundated. A small tidal wave accompanied the wind and rain. At Yokohama har bor cargo boats were swept under by this wave of water. A complete estimate of the damage estimate is at least 80 dead in Tokio alone. Newspapers predict this fig ure will be doubled. Wires Down Reports Few. The telegraph system is utterly de moralized and reports of loss of life r pire are lacking. The faumida river is still rising and it was predicted to- day that twenty thousand additional homes will be flooded in the Tokio The hurricane stripped roofs off buildings, whipped ships from their moorings and beat the downpour of rain into a veritable flood of water in the streets. The imperial palace buildings suffered considerably. So did many other beautiful structures in the city. Train service is complete ly at a standstill. The stock exchange was closed all day today. RATE LAW NULL t riilla Off KihfwliilA Tnl c. c Become Effective Oct. 15 Action of Congress Automati cally Cancels Blanket Order. Washington, Oct. 3. Operation of the interstate commerce commis sion's decision in the celebrated in termountain rate cases which was to have become effective October 15, has' been postponed indefinitely to permit the commission to consider certain proposals for increased rates which cannot become effective with out its approval. By a blanket order last June, which was expected to close up the long contested case, the railroads were au thorized to increase some rates, re duce a few others, and permit the re mainder to stand. Congress, in the meanwhile, how ever, amended the rate law so tnat j no increase may become effective for I a term of years without the specific approval of the commission. To meet this change in the law the commis i sion has been obliged to suspend its j decision authorizing increases which was to have become effective October 15, and now will have to consider j each increase on its merits. Thus a final closing of the case probably will be long postponed. The whole itermountain territory I west of a line drawn north and south I- W W.s Assessed for Defense Fund Dynamiters xt,. t.i.

B. Heinemann. chair- man of the'executive commlH.tf tn"J J Wisconsin .KepuDJican states central t committee, to the president of the United States and to Senator Pome rene, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections.

"Wisconsin is loyally behind the government in this war and will do her full share and we ask that AVis consin be spared further humiliation in having La Follette misrepresent the state. "Please see that this appeal reaches the proper committee and my com mittee, if called upon, shall undertake to supply what evidence that is nec essary that Senator La Follette's ut terances have had poisonous influ ence."

Buenos Aires, Oct. 3. President Irigoyen stood pat today on neutrality in the war, his denial of sentiments attributed to him by the national juvenile committee, and postponement of martial law decrees in the general strike. The Argentine rural society, a com bination of commercial, industrial and financial interests met today to adopt resolutions urging tnat the govern ment forcibly end the strike. It was reported that President Irigoyen would again make formal de mand on the railroads tomorrow that they restore transportation whether by submission to all strikers' demands or not was not specified. To offset the recent public demon strations favoring a rupture of Argen tina's relations with Germany, the continued neutrality advocates are planning a monster mass meeting Sat urday. Its backers assert their pur pose is furnishing the government with convincing proof that the pre dominant sentiment in the nation is 1 for firm neutrality. FOR LIBERTY LOAN

His first article, "Facing Death Un armed," is a glowing tribute to the American Ambulance service in France, and will appear in this pa per Saturday; October 6. 75 MILLION, 2 DA. New York Estimates Starter on Liberty Bonds. Treasury Enthusiastic Response Thruout U. About S. New York, Oct. 3. New York City's subscription to the second liberty loan has reached approximately $75,000, 000 in the first two days of the drive, according to unofficial estimates. Washington, Oct. 3. The big drive for $3,000,000,000 second liberty loan is on its third day with reports con tinuing to reach the treasury depart ment in large volume telling of the public's enthusiastic response to the national appeal for- subscriptions. Al tho no figures were at hand today, treasury officials predicted the suc cess of the new bond issue. They based their predictions on the over subscription of a $400,000,000 issue of federal certificates of indebtedness, This is the biggest issue of short time certificates of indebtedness ever put out by the government. McAdoo Stirs Chicago. Chicago. Oct. 3. The campaign to raise the Chicago federal district por tion of Uncle Sam's !ife insurance was proceeding rapidly today under the in centive of Secretary AlcAdoo's person al appearance on the firing line. "If a single war loan offered to the American people should fail it would be a more fateful disaster than the loss of a great battle." the secretary of the treasury told an audience of several thousands last night. "It is idiotic to talk peace now. The time hasn't arrived for peace. Big things have got to be done." CRISIS LOOMS UP Cry Grows Louder To Breals American Embargo. Scandinavia and Holland Face Perplexing Problem. Washington, Oct. 3. That import ant developments are pending affect ing Scandinavia and Holland, is the strong conviction in official circles here today. Kver increasing tightening of the al lied embargo on shipment supplies of all kinds to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland is rapidly cre ating a situation which may have an important bearing on the war. The complaint of these countries against the American embargo is growing louder. This, coupled with Great Britain's stopping shipment of all articles to Scandinavia and Hol land is expected to bring a crisis. Grain Rats in Holland Ships. In Atlantic ports tons of grain for Holland and other neutrals are rot ting and sprouting in the ves sels. Scores of- ships are lying idle and thousands of dollars are being lost as a result of allied refusal to let the grain and other products go. There is a persistent rumor that Germany may try to seize Holland, particularly if the British menace against the Ostend-Zeebrugge bases becomes more acute, or if there should appear to be any suggestion of an allied coup of getting a foot hold in Holland. Meantime. Scandinavia is a per plexing problem with the chance that the pro-German Swedish royalty may lead that nation into war on the side of the central powers. Norway and the other Scandinavians may flock to that leadership, tho Nor wegian diplomats here declare their iCoutiuueC aa ia Xwol w 1 4 ''PI i k if H-J..k ?f-mr, 1 Art ItVit 1 1917 TEN PAGES START BIG DRIVE JAIL MASTER SPY Organized Plot To Blow Up Merchant Ships on Pacific. Secure Spy Letters He Was Sending to German Gov't. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 3. Arrest of a new "master spy" -in the person of Konrad Schirman, a young Ger man chemist, and revelations that he had organized a plot to plant bombs on cargo ships plying between San Francisco and Honolulu were an nounced today by United States Dis trict Attorney Preston. Schirman has been under arrest nearly a week and has been held In communicado. He will be interned as a dangerous alien. An alleged attempt by Schirman to bribe an officer on the Dutch warship Zealand, which recently visited here, to take messages with him to Holland and there re-send them to Germany, revealed the plot. Would Do "Anything" Against TJ. S. Federal agents succeeded in seizing these messages. They were three in number. The first is said to have re ferred to American war plans and troop movements; the second, to have asked the German government for a fund to destroy Pacific shipping and the third to have revealed the failure of a plot for the escape from Angel Island of Franz Bopp, former German consul general nere. In one of the messages Schirman is reported to have told the German gov- thing in his power to aid the German cause and to have asked for instruc tions. TO ARMY CAMPS Original Regulations Called Out 40 Per Cent Today. But Cantonments 'ot Yet Ready To Care for So Many,, Washington, Oct. 3. About 200,000 meu representing the third increment to the national army are on their way to sixteen cantonments where already half the 6 87,000 called to the colors by the president are mobilized. Altho today's quota should be forty per cent under regulations promulgated by Provost Marshal Crowder local condi tions in the various states have re duced the general average of the in crement to 20 or 25 per cent. Coincident with the start of the third division of the new national army for the training camps today, the railroads war board issued a state ment in connection with the part which the railroads have played in handling the biggest troop movement ever attempted in this country. "Including the national guard, the regular army and the new national army, the railroads to date have mov ed approximately 720,000 soldiers from their homes to training camps or embarkation points," says the state ment. 1 "The longest haul made in the new national army movement to date was that of the special train which moved the citizen soldiers from Yuma, Ari zona, to Fort Riely. Kansas, a distance of 1,514 miles. This trip occupied 48 hours." LICENSE NEWSPAPERS U. S. Adopts License System for For eign Language Publications. Washington, Oct. 3. Foreign lan guage newspapers published in the United States will be placed on strict probation. Today the postomce de partment is working out a system, virtually licensing all publications. Whether any will be denied the use of the mails at the outset could not be learned today. Plans for restraining pro-German utterances in all foreign language pa pers as well as those printed in Eng lish have been completed. There will be a volunteer transistor in every for eign language newspaper oflice, who will censor copy. WE WILL BOMB GERMAN CITIES SAYSPREMIER "Will Gire It Back to Them With Compound Interest." Replies to Crowd of Poor From Bombed District. FRENCH RAID CITY OF BADEN Fight "Baby Killers" With Own Weapons, Only Course. Lloyd George Says Retaliation To Begin at Once. London, Oct. 3. A crowd of poor people in the southwest district of London yesterday appealed to Premier Lloyd George, says the Daily Mail, for reprisals against Germany for the air raids on London. The premier shout ed to the crowds: "We will give it all back to them and we will give it to them soon. We shall bomb Germany with compound in terest." The crowd cheered the promise of the premier wildly. The premier had just completed a tour of the area dam aged in the raids with Viscount French, commander of the home forces. Paris, Oct. 3. Continuing their re prisals for attacks of German airmen on French cities, French aviatorsast night dropped bombs on the German town of Baden the war office an nounces. The town of Baden in the grand duchy of the same name is one of the most famed and beautiful water ing places of Europe best known for its medicinal baths. It is a town of some 15,000 about 65 miles from the t rench border. 'Kyo for an Eye." London, Oct. 3. England had about decided today that once again it must fight the German with the boche's own weapons of frightfulness. The public demand for reprisals over Ger man cities for the work of German airmen over London and coast coun ties had approached the point of a nation-wide cry. Authoritative re ports today had it that the govern ment was practically ready, awaiting only decision of the military authori ties to put a formidable reprisal pro gram into force. The proponents of a strict "eye for eye and tooth for tooth" reprisal plan, pointed out forcefully tnat for weeks England and the other allies early in the war endured the German fright fulness of poison gas before it was reluctantly determined that for the safety of its manhood the inventors v (Continued on Pace Two.T RUSS BALLED UP! After Approving Kcrenskf Plan Congress Opposes It. With 461 Delegates Absent, Cabinet Plan Is Beaten. Petrograd, Oct, 3. The all-Russian democratic congress today voted 813 to 180 against a coalition govern ment. The decision is a blow directly at Premier Kernesky and the provisional g vernment. Yesterday the same conference voted 766 to 688 in favor of a coalition of all parties in the formation of a cabinet which should firmly admin ister the Russian democracy. The vote today came after the con ference had formally determined to reconsider that decision. The sudden change of mind by the demVcratic conference is inexplicable, unless the Bolsheviki and anti-Keren-sky forces seized upon a moment in the proceedings when the majorty ele ments were absent to hurry thru a reconsideration of Tuesday's vote and then had sufficient strength to over throw the previous vote sustaining Kerensky. It was pointed out that in the vote of approval of a coalition government the total number of delegates who participated wkas 1,454. The second vote for rejection was cast by only 993. Four hundred and sixty-one delegates were absent. Rejection of a coalition plan in such a fashion may or may not stand. Kerensky's supporters have insisted that unless Kerensky's idea of a union of all elements in the government was approved, utter chaos would follow in Russia- WEATHER STYLE FIXED So C'haiiR'es May Be Fxperted In Xoit 24 Hours, Flora Says.

"Hearst, Hylan and Ilohenzol lerns," Is Mitchel Slogan. Xew York, Oct. 3. New York is going after a 'record for patriotic ut terances today. With the mayoralty election only a month away, and Mayor Mitchel mak ing his campaign on a platform of patriotism as opposed to "Hearst, Hy lan and the Hohenzollerns," campaign speeches on both sides were bristling with flag waving utterances. Tammany Hall refuses to be classed as unpatriotic. Chief Murphy is point- j ing out the number of Tammany "boys" who have enlisted and" pro claiming the loyalty of the tiger. J Mitchel opened his campaign last; night with a bitter attack on Kyian, Tammany Hall and- Hearst. He de clared Hearst "puts the Star Spangled Banner on the front page and tries to stab the country in the back, in his editorial columns' Altho 'Mitchel has been in the cam paign only two days as an independ ent candidate, the fight, appeared to be centering between the mayor and Tammany. Little is heard at present of William M,- Bennett, who defeated Mitchel for the Republican nomina tion. Mayor Mitchel coined the first cany paigri phrase when he referred to "Hearst, Hylan and the Hohenzol lerns." but Chief Murphy had regis tered Tam many today with reference to Judge -AJton B.

The Northeliffe newspapers par ticularly are thunderlngly demanding action. The press as a whole points out that the Germans seldom raid Paris or other French cities because they know if they do the retaliation will be prompt and the damage repaid four-fold to German cities. In the meantime, London awaits each nlcht with the belief that the raiders will again come on their baby ktllinK expeditions. The city confi dently expected a raid last night. The streets were almost deserted and cellars had been made ready for oc cupancy, but the Germans did not appear. General Hair's Report Brief. London. Oct. 8.

New Party. SPECULATING ON "SUCCESS Will "Take Possession of Gov't in 1920," Say Leaders. Draft Tentative Platform for Merger of Parties. Chicago, Oct. 3. Chicago today became the birthplace of a new "Na tional party" which is unnamed but which purposes to elect half a dozen United States senators and between twenty and forty members of the house of representatives in 1918, ac cording to an announcement of lead ers who are in conference. In 1920, the prospectus of the party says, a march upon Washington will be made to "take possession of the govern ment." The new party is to be re cruited from the Prohibition, Pro gressive, single tax and social Demo cratic groups, the latter asserting its membership is composed of former adherents to the tenets of the Social ist party who have found it "theory bound and unadaptable to new condi tions as well as unpatriotic in the present world crisis." Trys Give Up the Fipht. Indicative of the desire of perma nent merger the national committee of the Prohibition party has announc ed its readiness to drop its identity as a third party, a position it has held for nearly half a century. A tentative draft of the platform which is to be submitted to the con ferees, said to have been written for the most part by John Spargo, for merly a Socialist, approves universal suffrage, the initiative and referen dum, the recall,, the short ballot, the executive budget and proportional representation. National prohibition is strongly demanded and the decla ration made that all traffic in liquor must be outlawed. Extinction of land monopoly, public ownership of coal mines, oil wells, telegraph and tele phone systems and other public utili ties and the use of "union labor in all governmental activities are among the demands made in th Spargo draft.

England tightened closely today the food blockade drawn about Germany by prohibiting export ation of all products except printed matter to all neutrals, except Spain. The step is not alone a tightening of existing measures to stop the ending of supplies to Germany, but a move of conservation of England's own sup plies. ROPE ON GERMANY'S NECK. British Embargo Pulls It Tighter U. S. Holds Other End. Washington, Oct. 3. Great Brit ain's new embargo on shipments of practically everything to Sweden, Norway, Denmark p.nd The Nether lands is regarded here as a most im portant move in tightening the cordon which slowly but surely is killing the military power of Germany. Great Britain's action is regarded as one of the most important of the war. As the British embargo excludes everything except printed matter about the only thing that will be per mitted to go to the German people by way of the neutrals will be expressions of world opinion that they should re organize their system of government to do away with the military autoc racy. In a figurative sense. Great Britain holds one end of the rope and the United States holds the other. Grad ually it is being drawn taut, the mili tary power of Germany is being stran gled because the embargo cuts off the supplies she has been receiving thru the adjacent neutrals.

The Herald says: Most of the corn traders are bearish, as they expect that the maximum prices are to remain and that the meeting of exchanges October 11 will make no change. They be lieve that all advances above 1.20 will not hold long, as the buying power is not ex pected to last and la only a question of time before the market weaken s. Trade on the whole becomes too bearish on breaks, and covering movements are re sponsible for the numerous bulges. It was the gossip last night that the shorts had reduced their commitments, and with good weather and any increase in sell lug prices might recede. With the maximum off bulls believe prices would advance, but the food administrators do not favor ad vance: in anything at present. Oats specialists who have advocated selling Peceniber and buying May saj the spread is not expected to work well while receipts are small and demand frood. It requires large arrivals to make it profit able. Numerous local traders boushr De cember and sold May yesterday, narrow ing the spread to 2 Mi cents against 3 cents for some time past. New York.

The shorts have been shod away and their technical support is absent during liquidation of weak positions. In the ab sence of this technical check offering's depress prices unduly.

BY"CLUG' FIRST GAME HERE Ichabods Will Play Cooper Col lege Vext Saturday. Coach Kennedy's Prospects Getting Brighter 'ow. The football season in Topeka will be officially opened next Saturday afternoon when Washburn college takes on Cooper college The contest will be the first Kansas conference tilt of the season in the city and the second for the Ichabods. Coach Kennedy says he believes his team will be able to give a good ac count of itself if the men remain in good condition and he intends to 'try to make the players show everything they have as the K. U. game is less than three weeks away and the one supreme ambition of the Ichabods is to give the Jayhawkers a real battle. "Washburn's prospects are much better than it was thought they would be and with the return of Jim Perry, who is expected to be back in school in a few days, the team should be as strong, if not stronger than last year, despite the war. Callahan Is Back. "Brick". Callahan, one of the best fighters of the 1916 team who 'an nounced he would not play this season has been induced to change his mind and Js now a regular member of the squad. "Coach" Baker who is running the team at quarter this season gives promise that he will have his best year on thechalked turf and Captain Logan is in fine shape and seems to be getting away well as a leader. Have Negro Player. Prospects improved considerably when "Major" Harvey, the chocolate soldier who made such a reputation two years ago as a freshman, return ed to school and reported for. prac tice. Harvey is the only negro player the Ichabods have had 'in several years and if he lives up to the repu tation he made in 1915 should have no trouble making a. regular posi tion. Captain Logan says he is one of the best guards he ever played against. STANDING OF THE TEAMS. National Leaffne. Clubs Won Lost Pet.

Ther cards have been dealt and the fans today were eagerly scanning their "hands" to see what they drew in the big world's series gamble. The pasteboards are merely formal notification, sent out by the White Sox management -that the recipient's application for seats has been O K'd, bu tthey looked bigger to the average man than any four aces ever dealt. Thousands of disappointed ones were hollering "misdeal!" but the world's series game is like Hoyle in that "there ain't no such animal." If you didn't draw cards properly, your hand is "dead," and that's all there is to it. The show-down will be pulled off at the White Sox box office Thursday, when the fans' chips will be cashed for regular tickets. Hundreds of per sons didn't understand this and the box office today, despite a heavy rain, resembled the siege of Verdun. Meanwhile, that merry card sharp er, the scalper; is plying his trade, while the management assures the public that "he's purely mythological. He may be, but his prices aren't. HERZOG 0. K. AGAIN He Will Bo at His Best Saturday, New Yorkers Say. New York, Oct. 3. Giant fans were today preparing to put their last dol lar on the McGraw clan in the com ing clash with the White Sox. Reason: Charlie Herzog is back with his old zip and pep. Reports from Philadelphia of the fire Herzog displayed in the game against Phila delphia brought assurance to the Giant followers that the New York in fielder will be on the job, with his full strength in the world's series. Herzog had a good rest at his home. His back, which caused his lay off, is strong again. There is no doubt that Herzog's fighting spirit carries the Giants to heights they never attain without him. MeG raw's pitchers are also ready. The team will leave Philadelphia to night for Chicago. WORLD'S SERIES PLAYERS Who's Who In Big Diamond Classic of the Year. John T. Collins Haverhill gave Shano his start as a ball player in 1907. In 1909 he was with Spring field in the Connecticut league and was sold to Chicago in that year. He has been a consistent, timely hitter and a good base runner. Harry Liebold Milwaukee first saw Nemo as an outfielder in 1911, and he was sold zo Cleveland in 1912. Chicago got him by the waiver route in 1915. His hitting has been con sistently around the .250 mark. It is probable he will be given the left field assignment for the world's series. He throws left handed, but bats right handed. Oscar Felsch Connie Mack hasH called Happy the best outfielder in the game merely as a fielder. Oth ers have declared he will be the most troublesome of the White Sox when he comes to busting base hits off the Giant pitchers. Whether Felsch will live up to these predictions or not, the fact remains that he is, one of the principal cogs in Clarence Rowland's pennant machine. Fond du Lac gave him a start as a professional in 1913 and he was sold to Milwaukee in the same year. Chicago bought him in 1914 and he reported in 1915. He has hit better than .300 for the Sox this year, topping Joe Jackson and Eddie Collins. Joseph Jackson Thru habits that are declared to be just a bit bad for an athlete, Jackson hasn't been hit ting near his normal gait for the Sox, but still is cracking them at an aver age that would be welcomed by the majority of big league outfielders. He has been smashing them on the han dle here of late and is steadily ap proaching a .300 average. Joe was' one of the first stars to feel the lure of Comiskey's pocketbook when the Chicago magnate determined to give Chicago a pennant winner. He went to the Sox from Cleveland, where he had been since 191 J Greenville of the South Carolina league gave him his first job in 1908 and he was sold to Philadelphia in the American league the same year. He had two years wiping the dust off the Phila delphia bench ahu thex was sent to Savannah, who sent him back to the Athletics in 1909. Cleveland-got him when Philadelphia decided it had no use for him. Cleveland turVied him over to New Orleans and recalled him -in 1911. This year, unless he im proves more than is expected, will be his poorest. WORLD'S SERIES TICKETS SOARING WAY ABOVE PAR Chicago, Oct. 3. Despite the fact that White Sox officials have said they are not operating, the ticket scalpers are reaping a rich harvest from the sale -of paste boards for the big world's -series which opens here Saturday. The following are the prices quoted on tickets today: Grandstand (3 games) Par, $4.50; bid, $20; asked. $35. Box seats 3 games) Par, $15; bid, $30; asked. $50. KEEP PLAYERS BUSY High School Will Have Kegular Sched ule for Second Team. With five full teams out to prac tice regularly every .night Coach Elmer Bearg has decided that his schedule of games will not give enough playeraj the rewards they deserve nor the chance to show their prowess, and so he has decided to make up a full schedule for a second team which will be under the direct supervision f Assistant Coach Frank McCoy. Towns near Topeka desiring games are re quested to send in challenges at once. The second team of the high school is almost as good as the first and is sometimes able to show up the big squad, but the men are of lighter physique and have had less experi ence. The first team of the high school will play Frankfort at Western league park Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock and a good exhibition is expected. Frankfort had one of, the best small town teams in the state Mast season and claims a repeater for this year. R. H. K New York (at Philadelphia- 5 11 S Philadelphia (1 innings.)

HERE IS THE STORY! Reporter Ilnomised &JL tn Return for Motor Ride. A State Journal reporter accompan ied Sheriff Larimer and Undersheriff Miler to the scene of the daylight rob bery on the East Sixth street road Tuesday. After he had seen Jones and obtained Jones's Wersion of the- rob bery it was near press time and he had to hurry to a farm house to telephone in the story. Larimer and Miler were in a Hurry to catch the soldiers and failed to waft 'or him. The reporter returned to the road and found him self stranded in the country. Just then a truck drove by, east ward bound. The reporter hailed the driver. He stopped. "Want to take a trip back to To peka?" the driver was asked. "Kothinr doing. I'm due in Law rence at 4 o'clock." An argument began. Money would not tempt the fellow, especially the available cash "a reporter has on hand four days before he draws his pay check. "I'll 111 you what I'll do," said the reporter. "I'll write a free notice about your truck if you'll take me back." "You're on, professor," replied the driver. "It'll be the first time in my life I ever got a free ad in a newspa per." So here it is: B. R. Webb was the driver's name. He has driven thru seven states, driv ing a Ford car topped off withj Will Holt one-ton truck. He sells the trucks, which are made in Omaha. They are the only truck made permit ting a full floating axle, whatever that is. Thousands of them are being sold thruout the country as they fit per fectly on the Ford car, and placing them on the Henry causes no change in the running gear or engine. How's that. Mr. Webb? SOLDIEnTpTALL Regulars Who Attack and Rob Topeka Taxi Driver, Confess. An hour after David Jones, a one armed taxi driver, had been slugged and robbed in broad daylight on the Last Sixth road, Tuesday, two soldiers, who admitted the robbery, were cap tured by Sheriff Hugh Larimer and Undersheriff Bob Miler. The men gave their names as B. E. Pratt and Archie Maxwell, members of the Twenty-first machine gun troop at Fort Riley. The two soldiers approached Jones at the Union Pacific depot shortly af ter dinner and hired him to take them four miles east on the Sixth street road where one of the men claimed he had a sister living. One sat in the rear seat, the other beside Jones. Three miles out of Topeka. the man sitting beside Jones slugged him. Jones retained consciousness and en deavored to stop his car. The man in the rear seat leaned over and hit him. Jones became unconscious. That is the story told by Maxwell to county officials and verified by Jones. Maxwell says they took $8 from the jitney driver's pockets, abandoned the car and struck across the fields to the northwest, toward Topeka. Jones soon recovered consciousness and hurried to the home of Scott Fleming from where he summoned the sheriff and undersheriff. The two of ficials hurried to the scene of the rob bery and then drove toward the East Fourth street road. Jones accompan ied them. As they approached the Santa Fe intersection they saw two soldiers walking on a railroad track. Jones jumped out ani hid. Larimer and Mil er drove on. They shouted to the sol diers: "Want a ride, boys?" they asked. The soldiers turned and looked into the muzzles of two revolvers held by Miler and Larimer. They were taken to the county jail and an hour later Maxwell confessed to the robberv. About $8 in cash was found on their persons. STORAGE BATTERY r Service Station ALL.

The cables bring the news of a mass meeting held in Frankfort-on-the-Main, attended by 50.000 persons. It was assembled for the purpose of voicing a demand for peace peace without annexation. Since annexa tion was the only object Germany had ill: precipitating the war, this action of so larse a body of the German peo ple is significant. Take away from Germany her chance of grabbing the territory of her neighbors and she has nothing left for which to fight. But the Teutons cannot obtain peace --I 1... i uVi nn Ointr alma IIICTIfiy U irniiiiuii""iis men aiuta. Such action- would be but half a sur render and would not be satisfactory to the allies. There must be not only a measure of reparation but it must be made impossible for the German rulers again to involve the peoples of the world In a war to maintain their rights to existence under forms of government of their own choosing. Italy has fixed a price at which her paper mills must furnish print paper to her newspapers. In addition to this she has placed an export duty on the product of the mills. High prices In this country are due, in large measure, to the fact that the mills of this coun try have been selling abroad. There is reported to be a serious coal shortage in Germany. The kaiser will need a place in the sun" more than ever the coming winter. 4 The American committee for Ar menian and Syrian relief announces that it has disbursed up to September 1. 1917, a total of $4. 255. 420.60. To prevent wide-spread death by starva tion during the coming six months it is estimated that at least $30,000,000 is needed. In an executive meeting of the committee held recently ap proximately $1,600,000 was appro priated for relief, and $460,000 of this was sent off immediately. And all this vast expenditure is due to the policy of the Turk, who is the partner of the kaiser. NEARING END OF WAK. The week's advices from abroad clearly suggest that the question of peace is assuming more of a practical and less of a superficial form. Ger many, in a supplemental note to Rome, has suggested the restoration of Belgium on certain conditions, which are, of course, unacceptable. Thekaiser suggests that payment shall be made by the central powers for part of the "war damage." This offer, says Henry Clews in his Financial Re view, is not so Important in itself. But it is an indication of a movement to prepare his own people for the inevit able. Not very long ago the mere sug gestion to withdraw from Belgium would have been assailed with severe criticism from military supporters thruout Germany,' but tne current of fer seems hardly to have attracted widespread attention. But one by one these little evidences are creeping out, showing that the subject of peace is being systematically worked out. By spring our own country will have an army abroad capable of strik ing in most decisive manner an army composed of men fresh and fit in body and spirit, well equipped and eager to do their full part in the strug gle for democracy. Opposed to them will be armies worn out by more than three years of service, with equipment that has necessarily depreciated, with poorly fed troops who know that their families are in want and in misery. The kaiser and his advisers know as well as they know anything that these are conditions which they cannot suc cessfully meet. It seems quite fair to believe that as intelligent men they will leave no stone unturned to pre vent an issue than can have but one result. We are approaching fairly close the termination of the 1917 campaign. The British and French and Italian troops may be expected to continue even after the winter sets in their work of attrition, which will wear down the enemy and make the entente forces, as reinforced by our strong and vigorous American army, ready for a final attack in the spring. This will occur unless the kaiser in the mean time shall recognize the futility of keeping Aip the unequal fight, when his submarine and other forms of frightfulness, which he has so confi dently relied upon, have been fully tried and found wanting. CITY BCILDIN'O. A booklet has been prepared by Charles M. Carroll and issue by the International Harvester company eri titled: "We Must Feed Ourselves." Under the caption: "Every Farm a Factory," the author says: The opportunity of the town lies in the country. The country can get along without the town, but no town ever has or ever will be permanently prosperous where the land is poor. The town is built on farm profits; on what farmers produce in excess of their home needs. In fact, towns are consumers, not real producers. Towns are the natural evolution and out growth of necessity- places to store and distribute the world's surplus products thru the channels of commerce. There is but one road to permanent city building that road leads to the farm. Business is so sym pathetic, so sensitive to crop produc tion, that the forecast of a poor wheat or corn crop affects the marftets of the world.. When the harvest fields smile, towns wax fat, and factories in crease the pay roll. Corn, wheat and hay, beef, pork and poultry- these are the soil builders, the home builders, the builders of great cities. The old fashioned chamber of com merce, with its cash bonuses and free factory sites, is rapidly passing away. Instead of grabbing business from each other we must realize that our opportunities lie hidden in the fertil ity of the soil. Towns and cities are beginning to look to the country, out to the fields of growing corn, wheat and cotton, for their real prosperity, j A successful hay campaign will bring factories to the town. Hay means beef and pork, which beckon the packing house and storage plant. More corn means cereal mills, glucose factories, starch factories. Flour mills locate in wheat producing sections. Creameries follow the dairy cow, and the truck patch calls for the canning factory. Let us have more chambers of coru merce and agriculture. Let us create wealth from the opportunities at home and not subtract it from other com munities. We must not forget that every farm is a factory and that in every state there are thousands of these factories which need our best thought and ef fort to make them productive. The foregoing is worthy of consid eration by the Topeka Chamber of Commerce and all citizens interested in the upbuilding of the city. The capital of Kansas Is located in the midst of one of the finest agricultu ral, horticultural and dairying regions in the United States and yet a vast amount of the food consumed by its inhabitants Is shipped in from other parts of the country. We are large purchasers of fruit, vegetables and meat which are not the product of the land lying about us. We buy apples from New York, grapes from Michigan and potatoes from Col orado and Minnesota. We buy meat from Kansas City and cream for but ter making from all over Kansas.. Cat tle and hogs are shipped thru To peka to Kansas City, slaughtered and brought back to us in the form of meat. The trade trips made by members of the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of selling things to the neigh boring towns might well be employed In inducing the neighboring towns to sell more things to us WAR AND THE WIRES THE TOPEKA SVTATB IPVR5AL INFORMATION BUBEAC By Frederie J. Hwftkln. Director. MaohmstuB, D. O. Washington, IX C, Oct. 2. This is a war directed by wire. Troops by j the hundred thousand are moved, sup-j plies worth billions are ordered, dip-, lomatic correspondence upon which the fate of the world depends, is car ried from i.he capital by telephone, telegraph, cable and wireless. As all roads once led to Rome, all wires now lead to Washington. The hopes and greeds and defiances, the sufferings and desires of an embattled world reach this heart of America over mil lions of tiny copper wires. Indeed the growth of electrical means of communication had no small share in lifting America to the com- I manding place she holds today in world affairs. The wires more than anything else have penetrated our iso- j lation. And the wires are making j history today at such a rate as it was never made before. Only a century ago it took seven weeks for the news that peace had been made to reach the men that were lighting in Amer ica, and Jackson won the- battle of New Orleans after the war was over. Today the president of the United States can send a message to London in five minutes. Necessarily a sudden tremendous strain has been imposed upon the na tion's facilities for wire communica tion, especially in and out of Wash ington. Telephone tolls would seem to be a sensitive barometer of public ex citement and governmental activity. When Germany's note declaring unre stricted submarine warfare was de livered in Washington, toll traffic out of the capital jumped 20 per cent, and local .traffic started on an upward curve. When Ambassador Bernstorff was given his passports on February 3, the volume of telephone talk was further swelled. The local telephone company began working twenty-three hours a day installing new equipment, and revamped its plant from the foundations up. Kleotric" Wires and the War. When war had been declared the council of national defense called for the co-operation of the wire com panies with the government. Officials of the wire companies went into con ference with government officials, and the desired co-ordination was effected. The wrre companies have undoubt edly rendered a great patriotic serv ice, have done remarkable emergency work in increasing their facilities, and have given the government co-operation of the willingest kind. Long line wires out of Washington have in creased from 149 to 300 long dis tance operators in all parts of the country were quickly increaseed to twelve thousand, and more are in training. The operator schools here are in session every day except Sun day. A new underground cable be tween New York and Washington to cost $1,500,000 is being planned. Not only the government but the public is making enormous demands uuon the telephone company here. In June of last year about 225,000 local' calls originated here and last June as high as 365,000 calls were handled in one day, while the weekly num ber amounted to 2.000.000. The telephone company publicly announced and advertised that It would try to serve both tfi govern ment and the public, but that if eith er had to suffer It would be the pub He. This promise has been exactly fulfilled. The public service has be come decidedly poor, not only in Washington, but In many parts of the country. The annoyance and delay of waiting for long distance calls, of being cut off suddenly, of being in formed again and again that the MIne is busy," of long and earnest listening at the receiver with no reward but an occasional explosion like a pistol shot close to the ear, have all been multi plied. A Mutter of Patriotism. The public has been asked to put un with these annovancea. and to use the telephone less as a matter of pat- riotic duty, m order that the govern ment may be given the best of serv ice. The government, it is told, is using all of the experienced operators, and most of the troubles of the public are due to the fact that it has to get along with the green ones. The local management has brought in a total of 168 operators frofti other cities upon Its system and eighty-two from other sources, but the govern ment has taken a total of 225 of its experienced operators. Meantime the number of telephones in the district has increased by six thousand since the first of the year, and Washington now has sixteen telephones for every hundred inhabitants. t Unquestionably the telephone com panies are doing their level best, and they are doing well. Furthermore, they have another motive than the pure patriotism which undoubtedly spurs them on. Government owner ship of telephone and telegraph lines has been their bogey for many years, and beyond a doubt the service which they give the government and the pub lic during this great emergency will be most closely scanned by the advocates of postalization. The wire companies will point to their record of patriotism and efficiency in the service of the government during the war as proof that they are worthy of control of this vital part of the nation's commun ications. The advocates of government own ership will assert that a service al ready under the control of the gov ernment and perfectly co-ordinated for military and civil purposes would have done better. They will prob ably also point out that altho the de mand upon the United States postal service has been greatly increased by the war, the delivery of private mails has not been made uncertain or un satisfactory because of the press of government business. In a word, the poor to indifferent service which the public is now receiving from the tele phone companies in many sections. If it continues, will undoubtedly be used against them. The Rights of the Wires. The legal right of the federal gov ernment to take over the telephone and telegraph lines, has been gener ally accepted. It Is comprised under the clause giving- .r-e? ro ernment. the right to operate postoffices and post roads, which were the oily practicable means of public communication when the constitution was adopted. A num ber of postmaster generals have ad vocated the government ownership of telephone and telegraph, and one of their strongest arguments has been that these facilities for communication are essential to the military strength and efficiency of the nation. 11 of the other principal nations of the world long ago converted the tele phone and telegraph into government monopolies. In the belligerent countries the gov ernment, by reason of its monopoly of these facilities, is able to maintain a much closer surveillance over their use- Ip; both England and France the closest censorship is maintained. No one is allowed to speak over the wires except in the language of the coun try, and then he may be pretty sure that more than one "party" Is listen ing. So that in these oountrics .he public certainly gets a more restricted service than in the United Ftates. On the other hand, the foreign govern ment run no risk that the wires will be usea for the purposes of hostile es pionage. The wire companies are on trial and striving with all of their partiotism, wealth and efficiency to vindicate the trust of the people and the govern ment. Whether or not government ownership ever becomes a fact in tills country, its advocates may be given some credit for stimulating thi3 burst of patriotic energy.

Linnelle moved into his rf bachelor apartments on the 19th of the month. He had had a suite down at the ex clusive Waltermere, on Washington square, when Alston Co. gave him the order for a book. It was to deal with New York life on the group sys tem, showing how the city was di vided into little neighborhood villages, especially among the poor. Young Alston had suggested that he move over to the east side and study conditions among the submerged tenth at first hand. It had not appealed to Linnelle.. He was not of the tramp poet variety. Even while he liked to be a denizen of the old Greenwich vil lage, still his quarters were on the north side of the square. However, in the interests of art, he had crossed the dead lines beyond Third avenue and sought a temporary eyrie south of Thirty-fourth street. Thus it came to pass that he became an inmate he would not call it resident of the Diggs apartments. At some time Mr. Diggs had felt the weight of his millions preying upon his mind and hHd placed model apartments for the deserving poor In their midst. But strange to say the local inhabitants refused to move out of their familiar rookeries, and the three great Georgian buildings with their patio courtyards and Italian gardens on the roof, would have gone a-begging for tenants had not little Bo hemia swept in to the rescue, and taken possession. After the third day in his new lodg ings the monotony palled on him. He had prowled around the neighborhood and made the alarming discovery that Instead of being in the midst of thugs and night hawks he was in the midst of highly respectable old settlers. In stead of their being peculiar to their kind, they regarded him as a rara avis. He was buying green peppers and fresh tomatoes from the little Greek Mario at the corner and answering his questions idly, when he became aware of another customer who seemed high ly amused at his inquisition. "You stay -very long?" asked Mario. "For awhile." "What do you do for a living? Write? Play the music? Paint? Sculp? No? Just professor, huh?" Linnelle felt his face redden as the girl smiled. "Must one give an excuse for liv ing here?" he asked. And Mario let it pass. Hearing the girl give her address for the delivery of goods, Linnelle realized that he had a neighbor. He caught one swilt glance from big gray eyes that smiled at him as he passed on. When his own goods were delivered via the dumb waiter there was another basket there on. Mario s voice called up asking him to be so good as to ring Miss Fras er's bell and hand it to her. He found her name on the door of a little apart ment down the hall and took the bas ket to it, making note of its contents on the way grape fruit, peppers, cu cumbers, oranges, endive and romaine. It only needed ambrosia to place her on the celestial vegetarian diet. And she was not In. He carted It back to his own apartment and it made him nervous. It broke up his entire morn ing of peace. Why the dickens could n't she be in when she knew she was having goods delivered? He felt re sponsible for her lunch and went to her door several times unsuccessful ly. Then juBt as he was starting to Write down a new idea, his telephone bell started to ring madly. It was his neighbor. Mario had told her he had left her goods with Mr. Linnelle. apartment 12. Would he be kind enough to let her have them? LJnnelle smoked savagelv on his re turn. She had been smiling at him Again in that cool, appraising, amused way. He plunged at his work with avidity, trying to banish the memory of a slim young nerson in a rose linen smock with curly, ark hair. He made the discovery the next morning that from his windows on the inner court he could look over at her windows. Quite asrainst his instinct of good taste he found himself doing so constantly. She had window boxes where spring bulbs bloomed profusely. Long cream scrim curtains hung within In cottage fashion, and when the wind blew he caught a glimpse of daffodil-tinted cretonne. She came twice a day to w:..er her plants. Then she would stand for a long while looking steadfastly up at the square patch of sky five stories above. He used to wonder if she could be a sun worshiper. The shaft of sun light Just struck her windows as it shone aslant down the court, and she drank It even as the flowers did. So passed the weeks and their ac quaintance ripened. He Insisted nnon emptying her waste basket for her when the garbage bell rang at 7. He always carried Mario's basket to her door nowadays and often at night they pnsseu eacn oiner in tne Italian gar den on the roof. Here was a place where dreams might come true. Be yond its mystery of shadowy pergola the lights of the city decked the skies, indeed like "jewels in the Ethiope's ear." The brilliant crescents of the three bridges over the river were like necklaces on the bosom of the night. He rarely spoke to her up there; but he felt strangely comforted to watch her leaning over the parapet, her face turned toward the sky. His book was nearing completion toward the middle of the summer. Al ston remarked to him one day that he could leave his east side den very soon. All the way back across town the pros pect of such a thing troubled Linnelle. It would 'mean separation from her, his neighbor. He had dinner at a lit tle Turkish restaurant on Twenty sixth street. It was nearly 9 when he put his passkey in the lock of his own door. Suddenly he heard his name called. "Oh; Mr. Linnelle." It was Marjorle Fraser, her face pale and anvious. "I wonder if I could aek you to come and look at my window. I Just got home myself, and It looks as if some one had entered the apartment." Lin nelle followed her down the hall. In her little living room the scrim curtains and daffodil valance lay in a crumpled heap on the floor, the upper window pane had a round hole thru its center as 11 a minute ball had passed thru. "Do you think any ene is here?" she asked, standing in the doorway. For answer Linnelle glanced around quickly and picked up a baseball that had rolled under the steam heater. "There's yor burglar," he laughed and laid it on the table. She sank into her chair with sigh of relief. "I'll be so glad when ths over." she said. "I've soaked in local atmosphere until I'm sick and tired of it, and I want to go home. You see, Mr. Lin nelle, I'm an actress and I have n per fectly dandy part In Carruthers's new production. "Children of Clay.- I only came down here to live and catch the spirit of the east aide. If it hadn't been for -you living so near to me I'd have been scared to death." "If it hadn't been for you living so near to me I'd have been bored to death," returned Linnelle. "I'm going back to Washington square next week. My book's Just finished. I can't tell you what it's all meant to me, down here. I'll always love the place be cause of you." Marjorie was silent. He stepped to ward the door and turned. "Come up to the roof," he said. "I want to tell you there." And they went on up the five flights of stairs together. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ledlmeTale Toppy Obeys Tommy Jay.

He went quickly, ipity, ipity, ipity. up over to the big hollow tree and he reached his front foot way into the hollow till he touched Policeman Bil ley's fur, till he caught hold of it and pulled. Nothing happened. Policeman Bil ly didn't stir. So Toppy caught hold tighter and pulled again. Nothing happened. "Dear me!" thought Toppy, "Police man Billy is sleeping very soundly! I guess I'll have to take both front paws and pull harder." He braced himself firmly; took hold of two pieces of fur and pulled and pulled and pulled. And lots of things happened" so quickly that Toppy never could quite remember what happened first. Policeman Billy growled, growled almost like the greatbig Black Bears would have growled; he rushed out of his hole in the hollox tree and stamp ed around in a great rage stamped around so recklessly that he nearU stepped on poor, frightened little Top py. He rubbed his sleepy, fat-rimmed eyes and growled, "Who bothered me? What's the matter? Can't you let a raccoon sleep when he wants to? Who are you anyway? Oh, Billy Raccoon is a grumbly-grouch when his sleep is disturbed and Tommy Jay knew tnat: Poor little Toppy was that fright ened he tried to slip off without being seen. But Billy Raccoon got his eyes open just in time to see him sneak ing away. "Come back here, Toppy Cottontail," he cried sternly, "what do you mean by waking me up? What do you want? He braced himself firmly: took hold or two pieces of fur and pulled and pulled. "I I I found a new bird and I wanted you to come and see it with me." Toppy said. "New bird, fiddlesticks," grumbled Billy Raccoon, "waked me up for a new bird If you want my opinion about a bird, wait till spring," and he turned on his heel, crept into the hol low tree and went to sleep again. Right before Toppy's eyes. Til SOLDHEIES (Issued by ttie War Oepartment ftfld all rights to reprint reserved.) XXIII In order to give the salute properly when without arms, first assume the position of a soldier, or if you are walking carry yourself at attention. Look the officer you are to salute straight in the eye. When he is a f.w paces away fom you "raise th right hand smartly till the tip of the forefinger touches the lower part of the head dress or forehead above the right eye, thumb and fingers extended and joined, ptilm to the left, forearm Inclined at about 45 degrees, hand and wrist straight. Continue to look the officer you are saluting straight in the eye and keep your hand in the posi tion of salute until the officer ac knowledges the salute or until he has passed. Then drop the hand smartly to the side. The salute is given with the right hand only." A proper salute is one of the things that will help to mark you in the early days in camp as possessing the bearing of a good soldier. When you get an opportunity, watch closely to see how regular army men salute. Note that your hat should be on straight, coat completely buttoned up, and hands out of the pockets. You will learn the rifle salute after you have reached the training camp. In general it is used whenever you are carrying a rifle, except when on guard duty, in which case you ordinarily present arms Instead of saluting. You are to fialute all commissioned officers (not merely those of your own company or regiment or those with whom you are acquainted except when you are Hi a military formation or when you stre at drill, work, games or mess. When- in formatfon, you do not salute or come to. the position of attention unless an officer speaks to you. Tomorrow; Other Army Courte sies. Knkl.

The calm, untroubled by any mis givings, way which some people have of announcing 'the things they think as facts is something which aston ishes me every time I come -up against it. On our telephone line is a woman who calls up another woman every morning and talks to her about half an hour. I was speaking about this habit to a neighbor of mine. "I sometimes wonder who It can be," I said. "It's her sister-in-law," said my neighbor. She stated it es a fact. It never occurred to me to doubt it. A few days later I chanced to her that the woman on my line and her sister-in-law have never been friends and barely speak when they meet. The next time I met my neighbor, I mentioned this fact to her. "Is that so she Baid placidly. "Then it can't be she that Mrs. M. 's talking to. It must be Mrs. L., then; I know they are very intimate." Naturally, I took this information with a heaping teaspoonful of salt. You Learn to Use Plenty of Salt. That is what happens whenever you find you have to deal with a person who has this habit. You don't feel any assurance that anything he or she says is founded on basis of knowledge. How should you? It happens that I never caught this neighbor in such a statement before. She has told me many things whicn I have accepted as unquestionably so, because she has a large authorita tive manner that predisposes one to be impressed by what she says. But since I have checked her up In on; unfounded statement, I know I shall not be able to help wondering If all her statements are born of intuition rather than knowledge. Women, I think, are more pror- to this habit than men. Men have to know, rather than think. The world they live in demands it of them. They may sometimes make unfounded statements, but they are more apt to qualify them by "I think" or; I bet." And yet I have met a few men who had this habit. One of these con stantly announces the most astonish ing things as facts. One was that Roosevelt wanted to be king of Amer ica; that he knew beyond question. Who told him? Nobody. He knew it. You might Judge from this in stance that he ts rather unbalanced Yet he is an unusually successful young business man. The only answer, to my mind. Is that he must keep this habit for his social life and exclude It from hH business Intercourse. DINNER STORIES When he came into the room where she sat he waa struck at once by her marvelous beauty. At first she did not observe him, but finally she glanced in his direction. There was something about him that caused her to unbend from her hauteur. She fell quickly into hi vein of merry banter, and when at laat he left she rolled her eye at him. With that innate courtesy for which our hero waa celebrated he picked up her glass eye and returned it to her, A pharmacist who kept a drug store was holding forth recently on the difficulties which beset a young man in his. first struggle with the world. "I had a hard time when I lirst tarted in business," he said, refer ring to a remark made by one of his hearers. 'The public has good intentions toward you, but it sometimes has strange ways of expressing them. An old lady used to come in to buy post age stamps. 1 observed to her one day that she was evidently a reat letier writer. 'Oh. she said sweetly, 'I don't really require all the stamps I buy here. It's only because I wish to help a young man like yourself. Just beginning to build up a business, that I purchase them." "Now, here is a showcase," said the dealer, pointing to a peculiar looking specimen of his wares, "that is bound to become popular. It magnifies everything put in it to double its nat ural size." "Can't use it in my business," replied the prospective customer. "What 1 want is case that will seemingly re duce the actual sixe of its contents one-half." "What Is your line?" asked the dealer. "My specialty is ladies shoes.' It was a "knife and fork do" at the country fair and the catering had been done in the good old-fashioned way. The board groaned beneath the weight of good things. The champion eaters of the town sat tog?thfr, and one of them began to eat slice after slice of meat with great gusto. His friend watched him a moment, thn, glanc ing around at the array of sweets, burt out: "Good heavens, man! Surely you're not going to throw awey that beauti ful appetite upon a leg of mutton?"

Douglas had an air of suppressed ex citement about him that had not escaped the quick eyes of his wife. "Who said there Was anything?" answered Douglas, taking his wife's face between his hands and turning it up to be kissed. "Ytu look different someway. Something has happened," she in sisted. "No, dear, nothing has happened. When It does I will tell you." Doug las was Mill looking Into Ms wife's eyes- ,x "Is this a guessing game? I have not found the right word, I see," she continued. "I had not meant tb say anything till there was something definite to tell," laughed Douglas, "but you are such a little sleuth I can't keep a thing from you. Come In here and I will tell you all I know." He led the way to the living room and dropped into his big chair, and Eleanor perched expectantly on the broad arm and settled herself to listen. You have heard of the trouble manufacturers are having with dyes," vc-smi. Eleanor noaaea, wonuer ing. "About all our aniline dyes came from Germany, and when the war fhut everything up as tight as a dmm we could not get any German dyes, and of course it was up to us to try to make them. Our results have not been entirely satisfactory, especially in black dyee, as you know." "I should say they were not, my stockings bought since the war be gan have given me a great deal of trouble. What is the matter? Can't Americans make fast dyes?" "The process used by the Germans was of course a secret and as ex perimenting is very expensive our manufacturers felt that it was more economical to buy a safe dye than to run the risk of losing trade by using an unsafe product, and as long as they could get the German dyes nt-'h-ing was done to try to make our own. These dyes are made from coal tar, and the coal tar Is a by-product of gas, but there are many Intermediate steps which we do not understand, and it is the method used in develop ing these steps that decides, whether the dye is a success or not. I have been working on this for weeks and today I had a talk with Mr. Harney and he "Working on what, dear? I do not understand." Eleanor had a startled air. "Why, you know such experiments are right in my line.1 and I have been thinking a great deal about the sub ject. As I was telling you, I half be lieve I have a clue to the secret and I had a talk with Mr. Barney about the matter today. He is so interested that he Is willing to give me full pay and let me have all my time to experiment. He said; 'This thing is not In our line, but If you can succeed, it will make all of us rich.' "Oh, Douglas." breathed Eleanor, flinging her arms around her hus band's neck. "How happy It would make me to have you do some great thing like that. You are so retiring, and I want everybody to know your value." "I can't tell you what dreams have filled my head these weeks. Dreams of making life easy for the dearest lit tle wife in the world." continued Doug las, drawing her down in his arms. "But I did not want to say anything about It fur fear of disappointing you." "I am glad I discovered your secret, or at least discovered that tl-ere was a secret, ..for now we can hope together and whether you succeed or not I am proud, of you."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE-JOURNAL WEDNESD AY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1917 EAT LESS MEAT AND TAKE SALTS IF KIDNEYS HURT Says a tablespoonful cf Salts flushes Kidneys, stopping Backache. WAR HELPS LABOR Toilers Enjoj Better Condi i tions Than Eer Before. Meat forms Uric Acid, which excites Kidneys and Weakens Bladder. Labor Leader of Australia Finds Xo Room for Pacifists. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat .excites the kidneys, they become overworked; pet sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly back ache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liv er, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your beck hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neya and stimulate them to normal activity: also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent Uthia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urmary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease. Adv. IF YOUR EARS RING WITH HEAD NOISES If you have Catarrhal Denfnosa head noises go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of P.irraint (double strength), and H'Wl to It t pint of hot water nul 4 ounces of gmnithitert sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quirk relief from the distressing head noises. Clog ged nostrils should open, breathing be-i-uiiie eawy nnd the mucus stop drop ping into tht throat. It is easy to pre pare, cunts little and is pleasant to take. Any bne who has Catarrhal 1 ef)fm ss or head nofses should give this prescrip tion a trial. Adv. Chicago. Oct. 3. The war with l. TimrVpre' war. Profiteer ing is being checked. Toilers are get I ting more money and enjoying better j conditions than ever before. If labor I representatives had been in power thev could have done no more to se cure this result. These are the be liefs today of Premier Holman of New South Wales, enroute home after visiting the front. "There is only one choice before or ganized labor," Holman declared to day. "It must either accept militar ism as a fact which is always going to exist, or it must be prepared to root out militarism by destroying the military caste in Prussia." Holman is a member of the Labor party, and is head- of a labor admin istration in Australia. He said he had met many American workers who had not yet come to regard this war as one in which they have any inter est. Xo Monarch Can Profit. "That is natural enough," Holman declared. "The first interest of the workers is peace always. As a life long representative of labor I have felt it to be my first duty to be a pacifist. "But the war in which the world is now engaged, is like the American War of Independence and the Civil war, a workers' war. No monarch will make any profit out of it. It is likely to be fatal to many monarchies. "Certain capitalists have no doubt, so far, made profits out of this war, but this is being stopped. Vast en terprises are being taken under na tional control with a speed and with a success that is clearly hastening the approach of the general nationaliza tion of many industries. "Over all the territories of the al lied powers, the workers are being more fully considered and better pro tected than they have been during any previous -war in history. Approves Conduct of War. "It's no overt statement to say that the allied governments have con ducted the economic operations of the war on revolutionary and prac tically on socialistic lines. "It seems to me ridiculous for any spokesman of the workers to attempt to base opposition to this war Upon the manner in which it has been con ducted. "Tiis is a war made by the work ers of the world to support a treaty. The first interest of the workers is that the treaties, when made, should be supported. "What the worker wants is peace. It is only in peace that he can obtain the benefits for which he is striving. But, to be of any benefit to the worker, it must be a peace free from actual war and from preparations for war."

More than two thousand Red Cross nurses are now engaged in active nursing service, and another two thousand in teaching and committee work, the na tional committee on nursing of the American Red Cross announced today. Nine thousand more stand ready to serve at once, and the number of trained nurses volunteering for serv ice with the Red Cross now averages a thousand a month. Miss Jane A.

Base hospital units for the army and the navy have been recruit ed from alumnae of the schools con nected with the largest hospitals in the country, in groups of 20, 40, 6 and 100. Besides the base hospital units the Red Cross has established units of nurses for emergency use. Such a hospital unit consists spf one doctor and twenty-five nurses. Infant Nurses in France. Specially trained nurses are being held in -readiness for work in units devoted to pediatrics, orthopedics, mental diseases and public health. Infant welfare 'nurses have-already been sent to France and Rumania. Plans are also under way for a spe cial unit-of nurses trained in the care of mental diseases to serve in the mental wards of the hospitals estab lished at the thirty-two army canton ments. Units in orthopedics are be ing prepared to meet the needs of the maimed in the reconstruction hospi tals. In the civil zones surrounding the training camps and cantonments and the naval bases, fifty public health nurses have been assigned to work under the Red Cross sanitary direc tors.

S Washington, Oct. 3. An American destroyer in British water recently was in collision with a British naval ('vessel which, after taking off the American crew, towed the disabled de stroyer safely to port. In announcing the collision today, the navy depart ment said no one was injured aboard I the AmeriQarg destroyer and that the vessel since had been repaired and re stored to active duty.' Hit in A Rainstorm. An official inquiry developed that the collision was unavoidable, the ves sels having .cement ogre Uiqi luring a heavy rainstorm. Xo'- blame was placed on either the American or Brit ish vessel;- r' Vessel Badly Crippled. The date of the accident was not announced. It was learned that a dry dock examination of the American de stroyer revealed an immense hole in her side, two davits carried away, the galley and funnel broken and the fore mast smashed. Only i the fact that the destroyer's water tight compart ments were closed prevented her sink ing. When the American vessel was towed in, her entire afterpart was awash. The British ship with which she collided had her stern badly twisted, but was not seriously dam aged. The smash was directly due to a pitch dark nigh tand the fact that both vessels, according to regulations, j were proceeding without lights.

a a a a a a a a a a Canadian Headquarters in France, Oct. 3. The enemy early this morn ing attempted to raid our lines in the Avion sector but was discovered be fore he got to close quarters and driv en off after sustaining a number of casualties. The infantry activity is generally less than normal but the sound of guns never ceases. The Ger mans are attempting more by way of destructive shots on our batteries than they did earlier' in the season but even in this respect they are still far behind the British and Canadian gun ners. The enemy also has increased the proportion of gas shells. This may in dicate that the chemicals from which poison gas is made are available in greater quantities than those required for high explosives. All the prisoners of good education now speak of the growing scarcity of war material and particularly of ar ticles such as rubber, cotton and cop per which can neither be produced at home nor obtained from Germany's European neighbors. One of the pris oners taken in yesterday's outpost af fairs said that while Germany could not be conquered in the field she would be forced to make peace be cause of her failure to obtain sup plies.

Shipping ex perts here are more than ever con vinced that America will face a dearth of tonnage the coming year, so serious as to prevent movement of more than 800,000 to 1,000,000 men by the end of 1918. Joint warnings or Sir Joseph Maclay, British shipping controller, and Lord Northcliffe, publicist, that there must be 6,000,000 tons new shipping annually are not unheeded here. All government heads say they realize that the submarine situa tion was and is serious. But such men as Secretary of Navy Daniels and Admiral Benson declare that "there is no occasion for becoming hysterical and that the submarine situation is more satisfactory. One-half of 1 per cent of convoyed ships are being lost. PVactically all ships are under the new convoy sys tem. However, as the United Press stated on September 29, "American troop transportation to Europe the next six months may be greatly curtailed." 10 to- 15 Tons for Every Soldier. The war department has submitted to the shipping board an estimate that ten to fifteen tons of shipping space must be available at all times for every solider sent to Europe. The government's official estimate is that by the end of 1918 America will have 9,200,000 tons of shipping available. From the above figures it can be seen that the total number of men sent to Europe before the end of an other year is likely to be under 1,000, 000, unless added ships can be ob tained from outside. This is doubtful, in view of the allies' own ship needs, and LfOrd Northcliffe's warning vir tually that America must go it alone in the matter of ships. 29th Anni versary and Style Show!

Festive Birds and All the Trimmitt's for Sammies' Thanksgiving. BY GEORGE MARTIN. j Washington, Oct. 3. There's a real -American Thanksgiving dinner -tur key, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and all on its way to Uncle Sam's boys at the front in France. When that day dawns over there behind the battle front, America's thousands, with the Stars and Stripes will clamber out of their bomb pits and come trotting in rrom their prac tice trenches to the royal feast. It is all thanks to the big hearted though tfulness of that square-jawed fighting man, Oen. John J. Pershing. Characteristically he said nothing about it. Even the men at the front do not know it yet. But a whisper of something of the sort leaked thru via cable to the United States. And today the war department confirmed it. "General Pershing cabled for per mission to give the boys a real Thanksgiving dinner from home, with all the trimmings," the department said. It's Pershing's Party. It will be General Pershing's party all the way thru. Every drumstick, every slice of white meat, every slab of pie will be strictly the grizzled war rior's contribution thru the war de partment. lo Thanksgiving dinner champion has yet appeared for the hundreds of thousands of boys in camps in this country. But the war department I hinted they'd be taken care of too. I "The department is sending all the turkeys and other supplies for the dinner behind the front Itself," said Captain Adams of the supply division, quartermasters corps, United States! army, today. j The matter of turkey and Thanks- giving trimmings for the men in camp on this side has not been taken up yet.' FEAR WOMEN-WIN E Y. M. C. A. Afraid of Temptations to Sammies in France. r The Great Seymour Packing Co, was not builded to be the largest plant of its kind in the whole wide world through a fear to dare and to do. It grew great because of one fact its founders believed in their idea and backed it with brains and money. Topeka is proud of this industry but Topeka doesn't appreciate it as Topeka should. 'She accepts it as a matter of fact, proud only to tell her visitors what it is and how big it is. This great enterprise owes the town nothing the town owes it everything.' And just so with an hundred other lesser enterprises in the capital city that have settled down to an exercise of the brains and sound business judgment the founders possessed when they started in to nurse their business to t a success. Encouragement with the hammer handle broken off clear up to the hilt is what every enterprise like the Sey mour plant should have. Not cash bonuses or gifts or promises! but action. And Topeka is beginning to see the wisdom of such a policy. That is why Topeka is going to go on growing. This bank owes the town a lot, however, and is proud to acknowledge the debt. "We are succeeding as days go by and are grateful to the uttermost. Come, grow with us. The Kansas Reserve State Bank "Topeka's Bank Service Station" Capitai and Surplus $250,000.00 4 F. C.

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 3. Reso lutions pledging its members individ ually and collectively to support Pres ident Wilson in any way that he may deem necessary in the conduct of the war were before the convention of the United States Brewers association for j adoption at the opening session of its annual convention here today. The resolutions which also provide for the appointment of a committee of co operation with full power to assist the government in every way possible were given by the board of trustees. "This Is Ourt Country.' Resolutions adopted today by the United States Brewers' association in convention here declare: "Ours is no divided allegiance. Whether by birth or by choice, this is our country. We owe her our fealty not only for our material possessions, for our physical welfare and our edu cational advantages, but for the price-l less heritage of the free institutions which have come down to us from the founders of the nation, who loved and died that justice and liberty might be established in the land. "Two generations ago our fathers were to be found in the armies that fought in, this continent for union and liberty; today our sons are enlisted in the armies that soon will be fighting in Europe. We affirm our absolute conviction of the necessity of our country's success and declare our read iness to make any sacrifice that shall advance it, and we record our un swerving faith that ultimately it will triumph and restore peace and con tentment to a distracted world." Only Market for Barley. The crop Improvement committee presented a report designed to show the relatively small amount of food grains consumed by the breweries in the manufacture of beer. The report admits that 20 to 35 per cent of the barley crop is purchased each year for malt, used in making beer, but it is claimed that if the breweries did not buy the barley at a premium amounting at times to 20 cents a bushel, the area planted would be greatly curtailed at considerable loss to the farmer as there is no other market for barley. The report gives the total consump tion of barley, corn and rice by the breweries during the last fiscal year as 70,500,000 bushels, 35 per' cent of which, according to the report, is re turned to the farm in the form of cattle feed, a brewery byproduct.

The house, evidently sick of the row, groaned when Heflin asked unani mous consent to reply to Mason and applauded when Garner objected. The house was disinclined to risk reopen ing the wrangle by hearing Mason, but there were no parliamentary means of avoiding his speech on the ground of privilege. Mason defended his Introduction of a bill to repeal the draft, as being ap proved by a majority of his constit uents and drew the wild applause of the house when he told that his son nevertheless had joined the army. His ancestors. Mason declared, were Eng lish and participated in every war for the United States. Despite the fact that he has opposed the war Mason declared he now sup ported it. He denied all implied charges of German influence and de nounced the German military auto cracy. SHE CHARMEDTHEM Virginia Osgood With Albert Kleist Attraction at Chamber of Commerce. President Mitchell of the Chamber of commerce sprung a most welcome surprise at the noonday lunch today when he introduced as an attraction to the crowded dining room of business men, Virginia Osgood, the charming singer i at the Novelty and Master Al bert Kleist, boy violinist.

If 2,600 bright, new beer bottle tops are evidence of violation of the state liquor laws, the attorney general. of fice will win a conviction in the Leav enworth county district court. If the jury doesn't hold the six buckets of tops as prima facie evidence, the state spent $1.30 in vain. Efforts to gather evidence against an alleged Leavenworth jointist failed. Every raid failed to produce evidence of sales. Yet the yard at the rear of the alleged joint was littered with bright,, new, shining beer bottle tops. So Frank P. Lindsay, special assistant attorney general, paid Leavenworth youngsters five cents a hundred for gathering the tops. At the end of the first day the kids reported with six water buckets filled with beer bottle tops but no beer. Lindsay counted 2.600 tops and stopped the campaign. No booze and no direct evidence of a sale is avail able in the case. But Lindsay will of fer the 2,600 stoppers and let the jury dispose of the case as its judgment and conscience dictate.

"It is a special pleasure to me to know myself at one with German peo ple in their will to victory and their confidence in victory." The field marshal praised the army and those who remained at home. He called for cheers for the emperor who invited to dinner all who had called to offer birthilay congratulations. In a speech the emperor praised the field marshal as "The hero of the German people to whom it is granted to ac complish deeds of world and his torical greatness. The emperor then thanked Field Marshal von Hindenburg in the name of the army and the people and con tinued: "Future centuries will weave legends around the beloved and honored per sonality of the field mrashal.

But: The point is only twenty-three days remain until the meeting is held and not a single newspaper man has writ ten a story declaring there is a ru mor, to the effect that E. P. Ripley, president of the road, will retire. Such a story, always heretofore proven to have been made of whole cloth when someone thought to con sult Mr. Ripley about It, has been pub lished every year about this time until it has become, almost a sacred tradi tion it would be almost criminal were it overlooked this year. So, here goes: If Mr. Ripley has decided to retire', he will; if he hasn't, he will not. HO 1VH1 Not Retire. So much for the prophecy; now to get down to facts. That the dean of American railroads will not retire is a certainty. "I saw him in Chicago the other day," said E. L. Copeland, treasurer for the road, "and ie was looking hale and hearty and as active as a young man in his twenties. He had been to Washington and was head over heels In work. Don't you think he will retire!" President Ripley and several oth ers prominent in national railway cir cles will be in Topeka to attend the meeting which will be the last one held in October. At the meetingt which will be held at noon in the of fice of Mr. Copeland, the by-laws will be changed to change the fiscal year to correspond with the calendar year. Heretofore the fiscal year has been ending in June, throwing the stock holders' meeting in October. Under the new policy, made necessary by a ruling of the interstate commerce commission, the stockholders meeting. Will be held in April with the initial one next year. Will KaUry Extensions.

DIDN'T SAY IT! lonies He Approved German State in Brazil Tells What He Did Say. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct. a.-Moloiiel Theodore Roosevelt last night issued a dental of a statement attributed to him by the Frankfurter Zeitung. which, according to a dispatch from Amster dam, quoted him as having expressed approval of the German plan to col onize a state in southern Brazil, in a conversation with the German ambas sador, while he was president, in 1903. Colonel Roosevelt's statement fol lows: '"The statement is not correct. The conversation referred to the German immigration to tbe southernmost state of the republic of Brazil, called Rio Grande de Sul. I said that I believed the Germans would be admirable im migrants in Brazil as shown to be in I hnvp snnnnRPii thnt pvprvnnp wniild welcome them as immigrants in any part of America, but that, of ''course. Germany must no more try to estab lish any control over her immigrants in Brazil than she did in th United States. "At that time I would not have be lieved it possible that Germany would behave as she actually has behaved here in the. United States and Baron von Rternbunr, the then German am bassador, would never have encourag ed such dishonorable action. Nebraska Governor to Army. Omaha. Xeh Oct. 8. Kieth Neville.

D. L. BUTTON, President. AdT. NOTICE. All A. O. U. W. members and mem bers Topeka- Lodge No. 11. A. O. U. W. take notice, commencing Thurs day evening, October 4, will meet every week at 627 Kansas avenue. Royal Arcanum hall. C. H. BEKONIUS, Recorder. Adv: North Side News According to J. B. Billard, the price of corn on the local market will have slumped to $1 by December 1. At the present time there is an extreme shortage of corn for local milling, as a result of the failure of last year's crop. The supply of old corn is prac tically exhausted, and the new crop will not be ready for the mills until after November 15. The result la an extremely high price at the mills, the millers gladly paying $1.9u. There is hardly enough meal on hand or corn for grinding it to satisfy the demand. Whether any other firms will follow the lead of the Forbes Brothers com pany In installing machinery for grinding corn flour is very doubtful. There is a general belief that while there may be a temporary demand for corn flour while the war lasts this demand will practically disappear in this country when the war is over. That a lasting demand for cheap corn flour may exist abroad after the war is highly probable, it is.thcfught, but in this country people can afford and will demand pure wheat flour. Y. W. C. A. classes open this week and according to present indications the enrollments will be substantially greater than last year.

His last compli- i ment to her quite turned her head. Said he: "I saw your picture in the grocery store this morning." "On, did you really? she bubbled. ""Who had it, and how did it happen to be there?" she inquired, fairly beaming with pleasure. "It was on a can of salmon," was the laconic reply. w Aside to Friend Jozz House: The handy little wo. u "gay" -should be understood to be comparative. When applied to an afternoon tea, it means that the party was lively and interesting compared to a funeral, a lecture by Edward Bok, or a traveling man's mental picture of a Sunday in Topeka. ii I J7-Jfc A Money Saying Plush Coat Sale Always we are keen watchers of the market.

Jack: A gentleman should remove his hat while taking an ice-cream soda at a counter if he is accompanied by a lady. He will undoubtedly ex change a few words with the lady dur ing the process; and he shouW have his hat off just as he would If he were standing in the same restaurant conversing with her. If there is no convenient place to lay or hang it, he can always tuck it under his left arm. I. F.: Wedding gifts should be sent to the bride, whether you know her or not, soon after the wedding invi tation has beet) received. She must write the note of tfeanks, and as early as possible after the arrival of the present. In any case, she should keep a' careful list of gifts and donors, so that in her notes, and later when talk ing with persons who have been guests ar her wedding, she may not make the mistake of telling Mrs. Brown how very often she has used the handsome chafing dish which was given her by Mrs. Smith.

10 THE 'TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1917 LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK, CROSS, FEVERISH Hurry, Mother! Remove poisons from little stomach, liver, bowels. Give "California Syrup of Figs" at once if bilious or constipated. L,ok at the tongue, mother! If coated, it is a suro sign that your little one's stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or aci natu rally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of KIjks." and Jn a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative;" they love its delicious taste, and it al ways makes them feel splendid. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tle of "California Syrup of Figs." which has directions for babies, chil dren of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun terfeits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it i made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. Advertisement. I CAPPEfJNAPPEAL Special Proclamation for Buy ing Liberty Bonds. Kansas Farmers Didn't Invest Heavily on Last Loan. In a special proclamation. Governor Cappear has appealed to patriotic Kansans to buy liberty bonds. Bene fits of the bonds are pointed out by the governor, who urges not only the men and women in the towns and cities to get behind the issue, but asks also that the farmers invest surplus profits and savings in the second gov ernment issue. Kansas farmers bought rather sparingly of the origi nal issue, alt ho in a few individual instances farmers made substantial in vestments. The governor's proclamation will be used in the liberty loan campaign in this state. His Proclamation. In his appeal, the governor said: The government at Washington has anketi the citizens of this ntition to sub nrribe '.,000.000,000 to th new liberty loan bonds; to equip with arms and elothlng and to feed our gallant soldiers who are now going to the field; to support their dependent families and to lend to our allies In tblB war for worldwide democ racy. It is the wish of the federal government that the money t oine from all classes the laborer as well an the merchant and the farmer, in order that the rank and file of the nation's citizenship may profit from the vast sum that must be paid iu interest. To encourage the small investors the bonds are issued in $50 denominations, payable on thp installment plan, and have been placed on sale in 10,000 banks thruout the country. Kansas has the opportunity to learn her final lesson in thrift if our people will subs, rtbe In large numbers to the new issue of liberty bonds. It will mean more for the future of the state If 500.000 of the ordinary walks of life each buy a $50 bond than if 1T,000 well-to-do men should buy a $1,000 bond. Kansas people practice diligently most of the elements of thrift. They are pros perous, energetic and hard-working. They endured privation and learned to make ends meet during the pioneer days. They have invested their millions in business enterprises, improved, machinery, better livestock, and, purely for Investment pur poses, nave iimmnt tnousatwis or acres or new land farther west. 'Now, if Kansas adds to these commendable practices the habit of Investing in high-grade securities, we will be doing a great and constructive duty and at the same time our people in- TO THOSE WHO HAVE THOUGHT OF BUYING A CHALMERS CAR An arrangement has been effected whereby the Max well Motor Company has leased for a period of five years the properties of the Chalmers Motor Company. The immediate effect of this transaction is: L The Chalmers car will he continued under the Chal mers name for a period of five years. 2, Those distributors or deal ers who have been suc cessfully marketing the Chalmers car will continue to do so. The appraisers of the prop erty and their engineers report the current Chalmers model a good car and the Chalmers plant a wonderful factory. The first move we have made is to increase the efficiency of the Chalmers organization. The second move was to place behind the Chalmers car the resources of the Max well Motor Company. dlvidually will be far more securely safe guarded. New Spirit In Kansas. It is my hope that In Kansas this new spirit of national thrift will permeate more tboroly thru the small towns and among the farm people, because ot the good it will bring the state. We need not assume to be wholly patriotic in this mat ter. We might. In a sense, drop all thought but that of individual gain, yet the result of a general and heavy sub scription from the country people will be far-reaching in establishing national security. Uemocracy is most secure when financed by the mnimon people. No nation can fall of progress when her chief financial ob ligation consists of loans from her peoole aud the smaller the denomination and the more widely scattered, the more certain is the nation's welfare. We have been good sienders our people of moderate means as well as our citizens of wealth. We -ran be equally good savers and surround ourselves with a financial stability that will weather storms which may come. I feel that Kansas people only need to be shown this element of thrift, how small Investments in themselves will amount to big sums if continued consistently aifd will grow at an astonishing rate. I urge the Kansas farmer to consider this new idea of finance and national welfare. For him an investment returning a fair rate of interest, which at the same time is cash or its equivalent, is a safeguaid, for the lack of which many Kansas farmers, be cause of vicissitudes of the state's agri culture, have failed. I therefore urge a prompt and hearty response from Kansas people to the new liberty loan. Kvery person in the state who can spare $T0, without too great sac rifice, during the next four months, will aid himself and the nation by buying a bond. In witness whereof I have hereunto sub scribed my name and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Kansas. Done at Topeka, the capital, this second day of October, A. 1., 1W17. ARTHUR CAPPKR. GoTeroor. GIVE 3 EXEMPTIONS Dependent Families Keep Ixcal Men From Camp Pnnston. Local examination and exemption board of division No. 1, of Topeka, granted three exemptions today. All three claims were made on account of dependent wives and children. The men examined by the board were reg istered at different cities over the country but obtained transfers for the examinations. The following men were exempted: L. H- Edwards, 1187 Clay street, registered at Galveston. John L. Maxwell, Hugo, Okla., reg istered in Choctaw county, Oklahoma Ralph C. Buddington, Norwood, O., registered in Norwood. This is a business transaction between two automobile companies of probably no more than ordinary interest to the public but important to you if you have thought of buying a Chalmers for these obvious reasons: 1. You obtain a good car. 2. You obtain a car produced in a magnificently equip ped plant. 3. You obtain a car pro duced by an organization materially strengthened by the addition of able ex ecutives. 4. You obtain a car produced by an organization mate rially strengthened by additional financial re sources, i 5. You obtain a car from a distributor or dealer who will have the support of this organization. In this way all three of us prosper in the transaction. President and General Manager Maxwell Motor Company, Inc. PRIDE OFJHE CITY Ripley Park Recreation Building Pleases the City Commissioners. "The best recreation center west ot Chicago." That is what the city com missioners have pronounced the $23, 000 recreation building and swimming pool recently completed in Ripley park. The opinion was expressed when the commissioners were taken on an inspection tour of the park by Commissioner W. L. Porter. The buildings will be officially accepted Thursday morning at a commission meeting. The recreation building is a two story burnt brick structure located near the center of the park, just east of the old meeting place used this summer. The interior is divided into a large gymnasium, committee room, shower bath apartments for both boys and girls, and a large balcony. The floors are of maple and promise to be as serviceable for dances as for a gymnasium floor. Equipment for the room will include gymnasium appa ratus, basket ball court, volley ball court and a track. The swimming pool is one of the in novations in city buildings introduced by W. L. Porter, commissioner. The pool is oblong in form, shallow at the edges and sloping to the center, where the depth measures nearly nine feet. The capacity of the pool is 350,000 gallons of water. When in use the water will be constantly changing, thus making the pool one of the most sanitary of the city's public swimming "holes." A branch of the city library and Central Y. M. C. A. will be opened in the new recreation building. The large rooms will be used as a community center for the East siders. Public meetings of all kinds will be held there. Parents-teachers associations, community improvement clubs and public organizations will be given ac commodations in the new "public house." 17,000 MINERS GO BACK After Two Months' Idleness, an Agree ment With Employers Is Reached. Knoxville, Tenn. ,Oct. 3.

The strike end follows a settlement in Washington late yesterday between operators and miners' representatives. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From Am column 4 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL October S, 1892. W. W. Webb went to Chicago today. Mrs. R. M. Bptvey, of Ogden, Utah, is TiBiting Topeka friends. J. W. Farnsworth and daughter went to Manhattan this morning. The musical comedy, "A Turkish Bath," will play at the Crawford tonight. It is said to have some admirable features. The Topeka club is preparing to open the club for the winter season by a big entertainment to be given within two weeks. At the Santa Fe ticket office over 75 tickets to Kansas City were sold within an hour last evening. President McKeever of the Topeka Young Men's Republican club, has received word that the Atchison Yonng Men's Re publican club will be in Topeka Saturday night 100 strong to attend the Ingalls meeting. Lord Tennyson is dying. His end Is said to be only a matter of a few hours. PAYS OLD FAIR DEBT Association Also Has Neat Nest Egg for Next Year's Expenditures. One-third of the indebtedness of the 19J5 state fair is being paid from the proceeds of this year's Kansas Free fair it was announced today. Checks totalling more than $5,000 have been mailed from the office of Phil Eastman, secretary of the Kan sas Free Fair association, for "back debts." The association had $15,000 indebtedness wished on it by the 1915 fair. Last year $3,000 was paid on the account and this year more than $5,000 was handed out to old-time creditors. In addition to paying off a part of this debt, the fair this year netted enough money to provide a "nest egg" for next year's fair, according to Phil Eastman. No estimate was made of the amount to be laid aside. Receipts of this year's fair have not been totaled yet, Eastman stated. But, he declared, the fair paid ex penses, 33 per cent of the 1916 debt and will provide a lump sum for next year's initial expenditures. WINS BRAVERY MEDAL Raasan Recipient of Military Honors Conferred by FVench Army. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 3. For brav ery in action in a heavv attack in September, in France, Roy Stockwell, graduate of the University of Kan sas, 1911, has been awarded the French war cross. He is a member of the American ambulance servico, and has been working in France for the last ten months. Mr. Stockwell writes that most of the ambulances have to drive along the roads at night with no lights on account or Herman shelling during the day. The noise of heavy artillery fire even thrills the hardened gunners at the front, he says, and the recent method of gassing a trench by drop ping gas shells on a battery puts that section of artillery out of action, for the men cannot work accurately dur ing a gas attack. They formerly de pended on the wind currents to blow the gas across to the enemy. btockwell has Tecently applied for a commission in the United States artillery corps. SHE IS SOME DARNER Kansas Girl Mends 10.000 Holes in Sewing Club Contest. Manhattan, Kan., Oct- 3. Ten thousand holes darned, is the record of Ida Bty of Pierceville, a member of the girls sawing club, as reported by the local leader to Otis E. Hall, state club leader. Elsie Snyder, another member of this same club, has darned 3,000 holes. and V l r gi e Armstrong, a co n testa nt more than 1,000 holes. CALVES ON THE MARKET Big Western Kansas Ranch Forced to Sell Them Now. Lucas. Kan., Oct. 3. Cade brothers of this place shipped over a hundred of cows and calves from this station last week to the eastern markets. They were a high grade black Angus and would look well in the smaller pastures of the state. It is apparent tnat calves or this class should not be allowed to go out of this territory. The farms of the central and west ern part of the state are not so well supplied with good stock that they can afford to allow any of it to get away. The scarcity of feed that is prevalent in this part of the state will be respon sible for much stock moving out that would be otherwise kept for breeding purposes. The Cade ranch contains ever thirteen hundred acres and main tains as a rule a very good class of cattle but the managers were forced to let considerable go this fall on ac count of conditions. Good cattle bring good prices any where this year and will be no loss. BIG COUNTY STOCK SHOW Three Day Kxliibit Will Be Held in Washington Co. This Month. Manhattan. Kan., Oct. 3. A county stock show will be held in Washing ton county October 17, 18 and 19. In his monthly letter to farm bureau members. It. V. Schafer. county agri cultural agent, urges their co-operation in making the show a success. "Every farm bureau member should have one or more exhibits of live stock, orchard, field or garden pro ducts at this show.' said Mr. Schafer. "Don't think you have nothing on your farm good enough to exhibit. Don't be guilty of bringing nothing and then saying you have better stuff at home than is on exhibit. Help the show along, pick out samples of the best you have, arrange them neatly and bring them with you.' BIG MEETING AT SALINA Scottish Rite Masons Holding Semi annual Ueunioii This Week. Salina.

WOOD AT ABILENE Funston Commander in Fare well to Soldier Boys. He Flays Anti-Preparedness Advocates in Address. Camp Funston, Kan., Oct. 3. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood Tuesday after noon took to task the anti-preparedness advocates and the "million men springing to arms overnight" propa gandists before an audience of several thousand persons at Abilene. Kan., at the farewell reception given to Abi lene's quota of drafted men who leave today for Camp Funston. "Fakers' and "charlatans' were the words General Wood used, and as he spoke about the conditions in this country when war was declared per sons in the crowd interrupted with cries, "Never again" and "We're for preparedness in the future and we're for it strong." "We cannot prepare for war over night," General Wood said. "Fakers and charlatans who have told you a million men would spring to arms be tween sunrise and sunset stand before you now as false prophets and as teachers of false doctrines, and at last we as a people realize how difficult is the preparation for a great war, es pecially wnen starting in without pre vious preparation. "If you would realize how great the task of the government is come down to Camp Funston and look at the great mass of buildings which are be ing constructed, the roads which are being built, the supplies which are being assembled, the men who are coming in every day; and remember this is where we find ourselves during the sixth month of the war. "When you have done this and thought the matter over, you will realize how great is the task of organ izing a people, who, altho ready and willing In spirit, are unDrenared in the "way of trained men and the vast amount of necessary material, weap ons and equipment of all kinds." GET HEAT BY NOV. 1 Camp Fiinton Furnaces Being Set Up Rapidly as Possible. Camp Funston, Kan., Oct. 3. The failure of the world's biggest manu facturer of iron pipe and fittings to get the necessary materials here on time for the completion of the heating- -system has caused Capt. Fred J. Herman, constructing quartermaster, to buy fittings in the open, market. Capt. J. S. Smith left here for Kan sas City, where .he will buy slightly more than $1,000 worth of fittings to be shipped immediately by express. The lack of material has continually held up work on the heating system and unless certain fittings are avail able at once .more delay will be caus ed. All of the articles needed can be purchased In Kansas City, where they are carried in stock. The fittings required immediately have already been shipped from Bridgeport, Conn., and Chicago and are now in transit, but rather than stop the work until the shipments arrive. Captain Herman decided to tuy what was needed out of the Kan sas City warehouses. A detailed report of the progress on the heating system has been made to Major General Wood, commanding the Eighty-ninth division, by Captain Smith and his assistant, M. E. Mil ler, a Kansas City heating expert. The report stated that barring further de lays the heat could be turned on by November 1 and a part within ten days. HUFFMAN TO FT.
