Bob Mtlor. undersherlff. hurried, to Tenth and Railroad streets, where he arrested Sigmand and Mark Andlauer, a salesman1 for the mill, who claimed he rushed to the assistance of Sigmand unil his two non-union employes. Andlauer carried an empty gun to the fight, which, he says, he found in the office of the Ismert -Hincke mills. Sheriff Hugh Larimer immediately called Tlnkham Veale. assistant ci unty attorney, to his office. The statements of Sigmand and Andlauer and E. H. Jenkins, a non-union wit ness, were taken, as they were first in the office. Mcintosh Tells Story. Mcintosh, sitting in a chair at po lice headquarters with blood smeared on both feet, from the two shots which pierced both legs, says that he was standing ten feet from where the trouble began. As he started to tell his story. Frank Ilrown, a labor lead er, entered the room. "Be careful now boys as to what you say." said Brown. "This all will be used later." Mcintosh continued with his story. "I saw Keller lying on the ground, begging Sigmand not to shoot again." said Mcintosh. 'Don't shoot that man,' I shouted to Sigmand. "By God, don't you interfere with my men.' sigmand replied, and he started toward me shooting. That ended it and we left-" Keller's Story. Keller, naked to the waist, and groaning as the doctor probed for the bullet, told his story as hen he could. "We saw Sigmand and two men going towanl the mill. I began talking to the men. asking them to stop work and help us out. We wanted more money. I told them. I didn't offer any violence. "Sigmand told me to leave the men alone He drew a gun. He shot me. I fell to the ground." sigmand Side of It. Over at the sheriff's office Sigmand. a man 60 years old. gray haired and calm, told his story to Sheriff Hugh Larimer and Tinkham Veale, assistant county attorney. "I never had trouble before In my life," he said. "1 shot to protect Mil ler, who had been knocked down and beaten and to protect myself. Mcin tosh and others were coming toward me. My duties are more than merely to look after the elevator. I feel that I should protect the men I hire and that's what I did." Sigmand came to Topeka when the Ismert-Hincke mills opened. He lives t 410 East Tenth street. "I started to work in company with a new man named Miller and with E. H. Jenkins. 833 Madison street, one of our employes." he said.

VanGundy, Keller and Mcintosh as pickets pres ent at the time. "I told Keller those men were going Into the mill. Harry Hart, another employe, was near.

Keller grabbed Miller. Others helped him. Thev throw him down. Miller was struggling there in the cinders with those men. I told them to stop. "Then Mcintosh and Gus Raeser started for me. Mcintosh had one hand in his porket. I backed away. I warned them to keep away from me. Meantime, Miller was still down. I didn't know what would happen. "Something had to be done. I first thought of Miller. I pulled my gun and fired toward the pile of sweating, struggling men. Then, I shot my re volver at Mcintosh's feet. I wanted to halt him. They say I shot him twice, once in the leg and once in the foot. That stopped them." "A Guy Busted Me." Robert Miller, non-union rr.lll hand, was found sitting In the shade at the Ismert-Hincke mills at noon today. Half a dosen non-union men were by his side. Across the street were an equal number of union pickets. There were scars on Miller's face, the result of the fist fight in which he partici pated on his way- to work early in the morning. "Riermand. Jenkins and 1 were golns to work." said Miller. "The picke'ts stopped us. 'You're not going to work In there?" one of the men asked me. 'I reckon as I am.; I said. "Biff and a fellow slams me beside the head. I went down for the count. I grabbed a fellow who was on top of me. "I looked up and saw someone run and grab toward Sigmand. I heard Sigmand shout: 'By God, you leave that man alone.' "Then, there were some shots. The man on too of me rolled off. The others ran. I'm a stranger here. I didn't know the guy who busted me." Harry Crawford, 406 Market street. union man who claimed to be an eye witness, told the following story to Tlnkham Veale, assistant county attorney: "We saw Sigmand and the two men comlnic. We gave Sigmand enough room to pass and began talking to the other two men. Sigmand turned and said: 'By God, you let those fellows come on.' "Then he began shooting." Claim Another Row. Shortly after the excitement of the (Continued on Page Two.) NO ARRESTS FOR BLOODY FIGHT AT THE MILL TODAY Complete Investigation First, Attorney Veale States. All Persons Held This Morning Have Been Released. BOTH SIDES TO BLAME? Official Says They Must Recover Wits and Senses. "Nonunion Men Have Bio Busi ness Carrying Guns." Until a complete investigation is made there will be no warrants Issued as a result of the bloodshed at the Ismert-Hincke mills this morning and Tuesday afternoon resulting from trouble between union pickets and non-union employes who mixed In a revolver and first fight at 7:45 o'clock this morning. That was the statement today by Tlnkham Veale, acting coun ty attorney. Following a gruelling examination of E. W. Sigmand. superintendent of the elevator at the Ismert-Hincke r-.ills, Veale announced that it is prob able no warrant would be issued by his office unless a third party swore to the complaint. All persons arreBt ed have been released. "Meantime." said Veale, "It Is up to j both sides to recover their wits and j act sensible. Our office represents neither side. It represents the public I and the public. I believe, wants to get at the persons who started the trou- J ble. That's the aim of our investiga- i tion. The non-union men have no business carrying guns. The union men I have no business molesting them or dragging them from automobiles while they are on their way to work. If union leaders know that a member of their organization did strike non union men. they should play square with the public and turn him in. If non-union men know of others carry ing guns, they .also should play square and turn them in. Get After All Parties. "We're going to get the fellows on both sides who started the trouble. It behooves the union to conduct an orderly strike in the future and it. will pay the non-union men and employ ers to disarm themselves and avoid further bloodshed." Keller Out of Danger. E. Keller, 1328 North Van Buren street, the man most seriously wound ed, was reported to be out of danger this afternoon. Complications, how ever, are possible at this time, at tending physicians stated. An X-ray picture of the man's back was taken at noon in an effort to locate the bul let which pierced him under the left shoulder blaue. Chief of Police George O. Hannan and other officers, accompanied by J. Anderson, a non-union mill hand, spend the morning examining pickets at the various mills this morning In an effort to Identify a union picket whom Anderson declares pulled him from an automobile this morning and beat him. Anderson is an employe of the Ismert-Hincke mills. He declares that before the trouble broke out be I tween Sigmand and the union men I he was pulled from an auto at Tenth and Railroad streets and beaten by a I man whom he says he doesn't know I by name but whom he can identify, i "Our officers will be near the mills." said Chief Hannan. "And we're going to see that both sides quiet down and Sheriff Hugh Larimer stated today that union men and non-union men wanted should warrants be issued later will be on hand to answer to charges. J "Both sides have acted sensibly con- cernlng the trouble," said Larimer, "and we don't anticipate any trouble ir. making future arrests in connec tion with the affair." trjT, PRFPARF FOR RFVIFW 1 111.1 mil.

Flour Fell Off 60 Cents During Last Week, Fluctuation downward In the price of foodstuffs in Topeka has neither come nor is it probable that it will come within the next few days. At least this was the consensus of opin ion as expressed today by the prin cipal wholesalers and retailers of the city. There is a chance that the prices on some commodities may go up within a few days, the dealers said, but as a general thing prices will re main at the present level and will" be steady. Hour Drops 60 Cents. Topeka millers reported today that the price of flour has dropped about 50 or 60 cents here during the last week. But the millers declared that the drop came as a natural thing and was not a result of any investigations or threatened investigations on the part of congress. One mill reported a drop of 10 cents in the price of flour Tuesday, but this drop was individual for the particular mill and was not general. The millers point out that flour Is almost certain to drop in price every year when the wheat begins to flood the markets, and the permit system is installed to prevent the over conges tion of the terminals. They point out, tho, that mills and millers are sub ject to the strictest kind of restriction on the part of the government and they agree that It is not the price of flour which makes for the high cost of living so much as for the alleged practice of the retailers of forcing up the price of perishable and staple commodities. Retailers Take Rig Profit? One miller in clinching this allega- j tion today said that not more than two i days sin he priced a crate of peaches at a local retail store. The price quoted was thirty cents a basket, j twenty-four baskets to the crate. Within an hour he says that the same peachcs were quoted him bv a local (Wholesaler at a price of fifteen cents a. basket, twenty-four baskets to the crate. f But this was but one individual case and on tne whQle R ems that the j prices of every kind of foodstuff in the j city will remain at present levels for some time, varying, of course, with the ordinary fluctuations of the market. I Would Take Week, I Wholesalers agreed that in the event i of a sudden drop in the price of any foodstuff or product the reduction would not be felt by the consumer for a period of at least two or three days and possibly a week. This is due, they said, to the fact that before the drop in price could become effective the re tailers would have to turn the stock on hand at a profit price.

FIND A SKELETON Maple Hill Disappearance Mys tery May Be Solved. Bones of Young Man Found In an Old Shed. HOLD Ml INQUEST TODAY! Reuben Getchell Has Been Mys teriously Missing 7 Years. Several Hundred Dollars on Him When Last Seen. Maple Hill people may have solved the mystery surrounding the disap pearance seven years ago of Reuben Getchell In the finding today of a skeleton of a young man in a shed near the edge of the town. Wabaun see county officials are in Maple Hill this afternoon and will hold an in quest. The skull of the skeleton has been broken and evidence gathered in advance of the inquest indicate the man was murdered. Two men have mysteriously disap peared from Maple Hill In the last ten years. One was a middle aged man named Woody. The second dis appearance was that of young Get chell. His parents who live three miles north of Maple Hill have al ways maintained that the boy about 23 years old at the time he left home met with foul play. The parents will seek this afternoon to identify the body from personal possessions found buried in the shed. The shed is at the rear of a deserted house. The property Has not been occupied for more than a year. Getchell disappeared nearly seven years ago. He had sold his teams and other personal property and had be tween $600 and $700 in cash at the time he left home. He stated1 that he expected to leave the county. No one saw the young man leave, tho, and no trace was ever found which would throw light on tn case. Several bits of personal property found beside the skeleton today may aid to an identifi cation. The county attorney, Bherlff and cornoer of Wabaunsee county are at Maple Hill this afternoon to in vestigate the case. Maple Hill citizens are positive the skeleton is that- of one of the missing men PICTURES OF TOPEKA Air Film Made by W. W. ReW Will Be Shown at Orpheum. Topeka as she looks to the air pilot and to the passenger in an airplane is almost ready for the moving picture screen. Five hundred feet of film were expowed this morning by W. W. Reid, local correspondent for Pathe News, from the cockpit of the big Curtiss plane, piloted by fearless Lieu tenant Buff of the Topeka Aerial Transportation company. Piloted by Harry J. Buff, the plane took the cir shortly after 10 o'clock this morning anjd for a period of twenty-five minutes Reid, in the front seat, was busy photographing the city from an altitude of 1,200 feet. The plane circled the city and pictures were taken of the residence sections. The state hospital is shown. The plane circled the Santa Fe shops and it is expected that the developed film will show in detail the ramifications of this big Topeka institution. One of the scenes is of Kansas avenue. This scene was taken from a point almost directly overhead while the plane flew parallel to the main business street of the city. The fiim was taken under the Joint auspices of the Orpheum theater, where the film will be shown August 18-19-20, and The Topeka Stote Jour nal and the Topeka Aerial Transpor tation company.

Sanderson Today. SHOP WALKOUTS HIT KANSAS Two Hundred and Fifty Shop men Ont at Coffevllle. Horton Force, Including Office Girls, Quit Work. Approximately only 10 per cent of the 60"0,000 railway shopmen of the United States are striking. These strikes are Illegal; the men will return to work; a ballot will be taken and every railway shopman in the country will walk out at a given hour unless the railroad administration grants the demands of the employes for higher wages. These were the statements made today by F. A. Sanderson, pres ident of the Shop Federation here, in discussing the strike situation. Blank ballots will be mailed out in a few days preparatory to a vote on the strike question. Sanderson said. These ballots will be returnable August 24, but even then It will be several days before any action Is taken, he. declared. He also stated that no violence would be committed and that men would be left In the shops to guard property and prevent fire and accidents. This, in brief, is the program to be carried out in case the strike Is called by the Interna tional union. Does Not Look for Strike. "As a matter of fact." said Sander son, "I do not think there will be any strike. I am confident that the union heads and the railway administration will bring things to a satisfactory ad justment. They know that the labor ing men are not getting enough mon ey to meet the steady increase in the cost of living. A strike such as would come In case our demands are turned down would be a terrible thing. Amer ica doesn't want it, and we don't want It. I am certain matters will be straightened out as they should be, be cause the administration realizes the strength of the unions and knows what they can do." "Suppose congress is successful in reducing the present cost of living," he was asked. "Would that answer the purpose of a wage increase?" "It would not." the federation pres ident replied, "because it would be too alow. At the quickest, it must be a long time before any appreciable re ductions will come, and the men must have more money to meet their needs now." Criticises Chicago Offkial. Sanderson criticised John D. Saunder son, secretary of the Chicago district. In taking the stand he has maintained. His action will Immediately be Inves tigated by international officials and the men ordered to return to work at once, he declared. Similar action will be taken In other parts of the country where the men have, walked out with out authority, he said. But while he criticised, Sanderson praised in the same breath. "These men mean well." he de clared. "They are merely over-ambitious. As a matter of fact. It Is to such men as these that the laboring men of the country owe what im provement in their condition has been evidenced during Jhe last couple of years. They have been quick to act too quick, some times, but they have stirred the conservatives to action when action was needed. The' con servatives never would do anything unless an example was set.

Washington, Aug. 6. All dis trict attorneys of the United States were ordered today by Attorney General Palmer to pro ceed immediately in the prosecu tion of all persons guilty of hoarding foodstuffs and to label the food stuffs for condemna tion. Sidetrack Everything Else. "This is the most Important busi ness before the country today," Mr. Palmer said In announcing his action. "I propose to have the law enforce ment machinery of the government side track everything to this Job." "Conditions," said Mr. Palmer's telegram to the attorneys "require a country-wide campaign against hoard ers and profiteers and I desire the de partment of Justice to use every legal means available to put an end to these, conditions." Washington, Aug. 6. President Wilson will address congress in per son Friday to make recommendations for legislation designed to aid In re ducing the cost of living. This was learned today at the White Hnus... The president began work on his mes sage to congress today. That one of the president's recom mendations will be "more teeth" to make existing laws effective to ade quately cope with profiteers is the gen eral belief of officials in the absence of definite Information from the White House. The president, it was suggested, slso might ask congress for a modified license system under which margins of profits couUl he controlled so as to bring an immediate reduction In prices. After Cold Storage I-Inns. One of the president's recommenda tions for new legislation is expected to deal with some form of regulation of cold storage companies. This would prevent holding of food in storage for high prices. Regulations governing transporta tion of food also will be touched upon by the president, It was learned. A proposal to reduce the amount of paper money In circulation Is not ex pected to get much attention in the president's message. Cabinet mem bers who studied the proposal yester day could not agre that this would prove a practical method of lowering prices. The president Is known to have be fore him a strong recommendation for licensing corporations in interstate business to prevent them engaging In businesses closely allied to their own. Divided on Food Administration Cabinet members who studied a proposal to revive the food adminis tration failed to reach an agreement on this point. Altho the adminis tration may not be revived, its ma ehinery will be used to the fullest In an effort to prevent food hoarding and price boosting. The recommendations which Wil son has on his desk while he Is draft ing his message were submitted to hint late yesterday by Attorney General Palmer. They were drawn up by a committee of eleven cabinet member and other high government officials, after consultation with economic ex perts, and after studying a report sub mitted by Federal Trade Commis sioner Colver, Rail Director Hlnes and Assistant Treasury Secretary Lefllng well, who surveyed ehe whole food situation Palmer also told the president th4t all the machinery of the department of Justice had already been set In mo tion to stop food hoarding and prof iteering, and Indicated he Intended to make examples of some of the worst offenders. Promises cheaper Bread. The country today faced the defi nite promise of some cut In bread prices following the announcement yesterday by Director Julius H.

The two 1, 000-horse power engines at Hominy were moved there about two years ago from the Hogshooter field in Oklahoma. Depletion of the latter field rendered the station no longer of use in that location. The heavy machinery was hauled 12 miles from Hogshooter to a railroad, where it waa shipped to Hominy. There it was again loaded on trucks and hauled 6 miles over steep Osage hills to the new location. Some of the machinery was so heavy that big tractors were necessary to transport it over the roads.

An Increase of 2.500,000 bushels in the country's wheat receipts from farms for the month ending July 25, as compared with the same month in 1918, was an nounced in a bulletin Issued Tuesday by the United States grain corporation. In the same period,. the increased flour prpduetion was nearly one million bushels.

France: France's food problem is one of quantity rather than price and the government is- employing every means to import sufficient- supplies. The government fixes maximum nrices. Canada: A commission has 'been created to handle this year's grain crop. Australia Australia has a vast sur plus of food and the government has difficulty in keeping prices high enough to reward production. Italv: Italy's bread supply alone costs the government 1400,000,000 a year. Japan: Press and public are urg ing the government to place maxi mum prices on food and other neces- lsitlCS. Thp dispatches follow: London To aid in keeping down the cost of living the British govern tne cost o( production, enables dealers to sell four pound loaves of bread for 25 cents. As a result of the sugar commission purchasing large quantities of sugar last summer and reselling It to retail ers, the price of that staple will be several cents a pound cheaper in Great Britain this winter than in any othet country. The government fixes the prices of bread, sugar and meat, but not of wheat. It guarantees to the farmers 71 shillings an eight bushel measure (about $2.22 a bushel). Owing to the fact the present market price for im ported wheat is 100 shillings (about 13 12 a bushel), this safeguard has no effect. But it would have been a safe guard to the fari-.ers had the bottom dropped out of the market. Ottawa A wheat board has been established to handle this year's crop n CI AD THF FOOD HOP! WUI MIL.

Capper Would Tax Profiteer. An excess proms tax mat wouia reach every profiteer was .advocated by Senator Capper, Hnnsas He announced he is working on a bill to that end. All over "a reason able profit" would be turned into the government treasury under his plan. "If the dealer knows that he will have to give up his ill-gotten gains, the Incentive to profiteering in food and other necessaries will disappear," Capper said. ISothing in his plan would be al lower! to interfere with egitlmate i cial com- 1 profits. He proposes a judicial com- mission which would determine the legitimate margins for various line of business. Income tax files of the col lector of internal revenue, which con- tain a detailed statement, of expenses and profits of every business man in j the United States would be made available. "The more I study the proposition I the more convinced I am that It Is the only practical solution of the prof iteering question, Capper said. "Some lines of business would have to have more than other and what would be a reasonable profit In one j business would be profiteering- in an- j other. There could be no fixed rule and it would take a commission to study each business and set a fair margin of earnings. Ample authority would be given to prevent padding of costs, to cover profits. Armour Offlclnl for Plan. Vlce-I'resident White, of Armour Company, testifying before the senate sub-committee investigating profiteering, also suggested an excess profit tax of this nature. Such a tax. he said, would catch dealers who are profiteering in shoes at present "An excess profits tax that would i i, v., mnr an vi.ri ,L irn.ii'iiduip ori'Ill 13 about the only way I see of reaching sucn neaiers, wnite said Senator Johnson, South Dakota, also declared for such a remedy.

Paris France's immediate food problem is one of obtaining a suffi cient quantity, rather than reducing prices. There Is sufficient wheat to last until August 11, after which France will face a shortage of 12,000, 000 bushels a month for the coming year. Every effort Is being made to obtain transports for this quantity, but the government has so far been unsuccessful. The same situation exists regarding meat. France has purchased heavily from South American markets but Is unable to provide transportation. Food animals are being Imported from Algeria and Morocco, and fattened on national grazing lands. Sugar Is almost wholly lacking In France. Great quantities have been purchased abroad but cannot be moved. The government has fixed maxi mum prices of foodstuffs and Is con structing barracks thruout the coun try from which food will be sold. Melbourne Being basically an agricultural country. Australia's prob lem consists in keeping prices at a level remunerative to the producer by creating markets abroad. Under a government pool, 467.499. 000 bushels of wheat were put under government control during 1916-19. A large amount of this is still unsold. The older wheat" can be bought at about $1 a bushel. Beef and mutton prices are correspondingly low. Rome According to Premier Nittl's recent statement to the chamber of deputies. Italy's bread supply Is cost ing the government $4J0, 000,000 a year. The government purchases wheat at about a bushel and retails to the millers at a nominal advance. Owing to the fact imported wheat prices are growing and exchange shrinking the cost to the government is rapidly in creasing. Frozen meat Is also supplied to deal ers at a cost to the government of sev eral million dollars a year. Tokiq While the cost of living has increased 142 per cent since the start of the war. wages have increased only 6 3 per cent. The people and the news papers are demanding that the govern ment fix maximum prices on all necessities. ers' profit and no one ever stops to question the authority of the govern ment to do this," he said "Why can't we do the same thing In other lines of business? We did It to the bank ers because everybody was against the big money lender and now the same feeling is growing against the dealers In food and clothing. No one can complain that the banker is injured because he is limited to reasonable in terest and no business man could ob ject to being limited to a fair profit on his wares."

FIRST BLOOD' SHED Contl nued from P.-je One. I first fight had died down, J. Ander son, a non-union employe of the mills, walked Into police headquarters. He demanded that the police arrest a union picket who, he declared, had pulled him from an automobile this morning and beat him up. The police accompanied Anderson to the various mills In an effort to identify his as sailant. At a late hours this afternoon no arrests had been made. A. E. F. Man Gives His Version. E. H. Jenkins, who accompanied Miller and Sigmand, told his story Jenkins is an A. E. F. man. The pickets have talked to me several times asking me to join the union," said Jenkins. "For several days their remarks were slurring but I kept on working. He Turned Sand Ran. "They tried to stop us. Miller went down. Sigmand and myself backed away. Mcintosh and another man came toward us. Mcintosh had one hand in his pocket.' I turned and ran. I heard the shot." Andlauer, the traveling men. says he heard someone outside the mill shout: "Boys they are after us, let's go." "Of course, I went." said Andlauer. "There was a fight on. I saw Miller down. I then heard the shots as I ran toward the 'dog pile.' There was an old empty gun In the office. I grabbed it. That's why I'm here." Men Carried Guns. LTnion men say the non-union em ployes have been carrying guns. Frank Brown, who acted as spokes man at police headquarters this morn ing, declared that two guns had been taken from employes of the Thomas Page mill Tuesday night. "We have warned every one of our men to keep guns and knives at home." said Brown. "I don't think they carried any." Mill Claims Threats. On the other hand, Sigmand de clared his men who stayed on the Job ha3 been threatened recently. The fight Tuesday was the first climax to the threat, according to Sigmand. Cyde Tresner, chief of detectives and former president of the Topeka Industrial council, declared today that union pickets were not armed. Slicriff To Stop Trouble. Sheriff Hugh Larimer stated today that his office .would do everything possible to quell further trouble. "However," said Larimer, "we only have five men. We can't guard those mills. I'm willing to swear in as many deputies as the mill owners wish to employ to guard the mills." MASS MEETING AT 1VABOK HAU. Union Men Tell Story and Declase They'll Continue to Strike. It was a jaw-set, determined but level-headed group of men who met In the regular meeting of the striking union men at Labor hall immediately after the ehootlng. The meeting was held behind closed doors and was largely attended. A reporter for The State Journal was denied admittance but a number of the strikers who were at the scene of the shooting im mediately came out and volunteered statements about the trouble. G. A. Lieseer stated that he was present and that not a word had been said to Sigmand when the trouble oc curred. Lieseer said that when the union men began talking to the scab workers the head miller, a man by the name of Grouthe, told Sigmand to shoot. "Shoot 'the Lieseer said Grouthe told Sigmand. Lleseer's state ment Is corroborated by M. Van (Jundy. G. E. Burklund, J. R. Trim ble and J. E. Chaney, all of whom were present at the shooting. According to Lieseer, E. Keller, who was shot in the back, was lying on his stomach when Sie-mand shot him. Mc intosh was trying to protect himself behind a post and was calling to Sig mand not to shoot when he was fired upon. Ild Xot Carry Arms. The strikers also assert that all of the trouble occurred on railroad prop erty, and not on mill property. They also call attention to the fact that all of their pickets have been Jnstructed not to carry arms and to avoid trou ble at all costs. They assert that their pickets have been submitted to search by city authorities and also by union leaders. While eyewitnesses were talking to The State Journal reporter, a man came from the closed meeting and said: "Mr. Ira Staler, president of the union. s-said to tell you that we are more determined than ever to carry this strike thru to a successful con clusion If it takes a year, or more. Also, he said to tell you that we are going to carry on our strike in a law ful manner and are going to do every thing possible to avoid trouble." It was learned that behind the closed doors the strikers discussed the matter of having a warrant sworn out for Head Miller Grunthe who is al leged to have urgn Sigrrtand to shoot. J. P. Johnson, a sacker, who was employe at the mill Tuesday but who was not working today, stated that he was threatened by the strikers Tues day. He said he had a permit to carry a gun but did not do so. He said that so far as he knew Sigmand was not armed Tuesday. Union men at Labor hall denied any threats had been made to Johnson. They said that he was fired by the mill some time ago, but after the strike began he was taken back and that some of the men had talked to him, but had not threatened him other than to tell htm that when the-strike was settled he would have to give up the union man's place he now has. Both of the men who were shot this morning are men of families, the strikers stated. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Axig. 6.

"I suffered from stomach trovble and nervous indigestion," continued Mrs. Hampton, "and was all run down in health. Almost everything I ate seemed to sour and lie in a heavy lump in my stomach and I was also bothered a great deal with gas on my stomach. At times I was very dizzy and suffred a lot with headaches and terrible pains in the back of my neck and was so awfully nervous I could hardly get my rest at night and would often just lie awake for hours at a time. Why, I even had nervous pros tration at one time and was in such, bad condition I hadn't been able to do my housework for years and. although for ten years I had been taking all kinds of medicines, I never was able to find anything that relieved me of my trouble. "A friend of mine told me about Tanlac and how it had benefited her, so I got a bottle to try it and I was certainly pleased with the results I got almost from the very first, bo I kept on taking Tanlac until now I actually feel like a different person altogether. I can eat anything I want now without being afraid of having trouble with my stomach afterwards and I have already gained several pounds in weight. My complexion is good once more and my nerves are perfectly normal again and I can Bleep just like a child at night and get up in the morning feeling rested and not al! tired and worn out like I used to. I have spent hundreds of dollars for medicine and treatments, but Tanlac has done me more good than anything else I ever took and my improvement is so plain that even the neighbors notice It, but It's no wonder they do. because before I took Tanlac I could hardly get about, but now I have lots of energy and can do all my own housework with ease. I have recom mended Tanlac to a number of my friends and all of them are well pleased with It, just as I am." Tanlac Is sold in Topeka by Tully McFarland Drug Co., 835 Kan. Ave., and 729 Kan.

Frederic J. fluskln. director, Waehlng ton. 1. C Much Is heard these days about the pew order of things that is to prevail In the world as the result of the war. That the world makes progress none can deny, but It dots not make It by big jumps. Changes come but they come gradual!). Thirty years ago the I'lipulists un.lertook to upset the ex isting order In the United States and promised a new heaven and a now earth. They soon disappeared from the political arena, without having ac complished anything they set out to do. But looking over the field today, it will be seen that most of the changes advocated by the Populists have been brought about. The clamor for a new order of things, says Leslie's, has been heard since the world began. The tribes of Judah were perpetually at war. Moses, reviled by the mob. in despair, cast down the tables of stone and broke them to pieces. The Greatest Teacher of the World, when tempted to express an opinion with reference to the then existing order, did not hesi tate emphatically to respond: "Bender to Caesar the things that are Caesar's." The old order has stood the test of time, while new orders have come and gone a mournful and not Imposing procession of false prophets and quack doctors. Liberty of the 177 brand still survives, and the noble statue in Its honor still lights up New York harbor. There is widespread belief that much profiteering is in progress in this country and that it chiefly is re sponsible for high prices and labor un rest. If there are not profiteers it is not because they have not been given abundant opportunity and encourage ment The situation again illustrates the value of prevention in comparison with cure. United States commerce. In the fiscal year which ended with June, "broke the record" in many particulars. Both Imports and exports were the largest In the history of our foreign trade, and the grand total for the first time crossed the $10,000,000,000 line; the "favorable trade balance" exceeded that of any earlier year; and the clos ing month, June, wound up the spec tacular record with a total trade of II. 211, 282,400, an average of nearly $50,000,000 a day In the twenty-six business days of the month. The value of the merchandise forming the for eign commerce of the United States In the fiscal year 1919 was' one-half as large as that forming the entire Inter national trade of the world In the year preceding the war. It Is proposed that the government take over the business of supplying the people with flour at a price below that now being charged by the millers. If the government will let the wheat crop go on the market urder the law of supply and demand the price of flour will come down without federal inter ference. If anybody else had to pay the farmers $1.26 a bushel for their crop the government would Insist that he should sell his wheat for what it wa worth, not for what he could ex act. But when the government has bought the wheat it insists that so as to get rid of It at a profit it must exact from American consumers famine prices. It Insists that with this arti ficial basis of wheat putting corn on a similar basis of $2 the American people must make a profit for the United States treasury, altho this very wheat profit compels the American people to pay billions of dollars more for their other food. Probably the most striking feature In the present business situation is the remarka-ble progress that has been made In shifting industries from a war to a peace) footing. The extent to which we have readjusted Is indicated by the activities in the various branches of business In this country. Those lines which in war time were restricted as nonessential or scml-ea-scntlal naturally have increased their output. Those which were engaged in purely war production and were run 'nlng at topnotch speed and capacity have fallen back to their normal out put or less, but this readjustment has taken place with a remarkably small amount of disturbance In the business world. Conspicuous In the correspond ence to the Continental and Com mercial National bank, In response to inquiries regarding business conditions. It reports, is the unanimity of optim ism. Business men, more generally than ever before, report confidence in continued Industrial activity and in expanding foreign trade. FEDERAL LOAN SYSTEMS. First came the Federal Reserve sys tem, then the Federal Farm Loan sys tem, and now we have in prospect the Federal Home Loan system. Senator Calder's bill, now In the hands of the banking and currency committee, presents a number of fea tures similar to the bill creating the Farm Loansyatem. There Is, for In stance, the familiar tax exemption feature, the division of the whole coun try Into districts, the creation of a bureau and a board at Washington, with provisions for the necessary ma chinery to conduct the organization; and, whereas, under the Farm Loan act, it requires an association of farm ers to negotiate loans, under the pro posed bill building associations would occupy the same position. As a mat ter of fact, a home loan bank could be started only by an association of build ing associations. Associations would be allowed to borrow up to SO per cent of mortgage assets, but the mortgages pledged would have to amount to 25 per cent more than the loan, and no mortgage could be pledged unless the appraised value of the property was at least 20 per cent more than the amount of the mortgage. Just as the Federal Re serve system Is a bank for banks, the Home Loan system would be a bank for building associations. Moreover, these banks would be depositories for the government and for member as sociations, and stock holdings would be limited to such associations. It seems to be a copy of the Idea back of the Farm Loan Bank system, to use the American Investment market for the selling of securities to finance the requirements of home buyers at a low rate of interest render ed possible by the tax exempt feature. If real estate mortgages were ex empt from taxation, as they should be, there would'be no necessity for Farm Loan banks or for Home Loan banks. The farmer and the heme builder could borrow In the open market at a lower rate than Is obtainable thru the Farm Loan banks or would be .obtain able under the Home Loan system and without the red tape. DO WE STILL WANT IT? A bill has been Introduced In con gress, providing for government own ership of railroads and appears to find favor in certain quarters, notably In the ranks of organized labor. If the utter failure of the federal railroad administration to measure up to what was expected of it be not enough to convince citizens of this country of the damaging effects on business resulting from government operation of public utilities a glance at Burleson's management of the tele phone and telegraph systema should be sufficient to cure them forever of any desire, for government ownership. He has taught the people the utter Impossibility of efficiency under gov ernment ownership. Whenever one arises to urge such a plan, it should be enough to mention Albert S. Bur leson's term of service as chief of the wires. He never passed an opportun ity for political mischief. "Sound public opinion Waill deter mine how the trust has been met," observes Mr. Burleson in his address of withdrawal as chief of the wires. He is in error in thinking that he must wait on posterity for determination of his worth. Public opinion has spoken In emphatic terms of his service, and with amazing unanimity. Business men. trade unionists, owners of tele graph and telephone lines, wire oper ators, publishers, mall carriers. Re publicans, Democrats all are on rec ord. The business men of 'the country charge that Mr. Burleson has de stroyed the efficiency of the wire sys tems. The trade unionists berate him because he has fought the Interests of organized labor. The owners of the wira systems denounce him as a wrecker. The operators decry him be cause he has raised rates and not raised wages. The publishers score him for backing the zone law. The mail carriers and other postal em ployes proclaim him a tyrant. Repub licans deride him as a political mes senger In the lobbies of congress. Democrats describe him as a drag and a liability. 'The most serious charge made against Mr. Burleson." says the Buf falo News, "is that he has sought to strangle competition ia wire service. He employed the 'gag rule' against th Postal company when It objected to the direction of its affairs being given to officers of the company with which it was in competition. He served notice that any employe who criticised his administration would be dis charged. It Is charged that he em ployed a system of poatoffice espion age to discourage criticism. He Inter posed to prevent the publication by newspapers of matter reflecting on his administration of affairs.- All In all. his system of control would do credit to the old Russian secret service. "Yes, public opinion has determined how he has met the trust. Public opinion charges him with blundering incompetence and worse." TOPEKA STATU JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HAjrKTN. Direct-. Washing-tan. D. 3L BUSINESS WOMEN ORGANIZE. Washington, D. C, Aug. J. That women are preparing to reap their share of the proceeds of our new world democracy, is evidenced by their recent establishment of a Wo mna's Chamber of Commerce, with a national headquarters in Washington and branches in most of our large cities. They have even opened one in China, and South America is soon to boast several of them. Schools of salesmanship, with spe cial courses In Spanish, French and possibly Chinese, are to be opened by the New York Woman's Chamber of Commerce In the fall, with a view to training a whole army of women trade experts to be placed In foreign trade fields. Thes: classes will be open to any womon who displays any special aptitude for business. She need not be a college graduate. Heretofore, many well-trained and talented Wom en have been excluded from good positions thru the stipulation that all applicants must possess university di plomas. The Woman's Chamber of Commerce thinks this is unfair and is going to attempt to put an end to it. In fact, the Woman's Chamber of Commerce, if enabled to carry out Its program, is going to change a great many practices now In vogue with re gard to the employment of women. It has been waiting patiently for the proper time to stage its campaign, and it believes that the time has arrived that woman's hour has struck. Po litical equality is practically assured. Now the real battle for economic equality has begun. But the women are very indignant if you Intimate that th-.e is anything belligerent in what they are going to do. They are going to work hand In hand with the men. amicably and peaceably follow ing admiringly in their footsteps and united in a common cause the pro motion of American business pros perity. Incidentally, the organization is especially Interested In the promo tion of its own sex. It stands for "the encouragement of humanitarian ef fort In promoting the bests interests of womanhood in the United States and other countries which means, among other things, the entrance of women Into all occupatiowal pursuits field, factory, forum, home, hospital, labor atory, mining, surveying, aviation, school, store, shop, social center and Institution, court, club, studio and pulpit. The woman's chamber of commerce Is the latest and most significant manifestation of the feminist move ment. It shows that women have at last clearly grasped the fact that busi ness is the controlling element In the world today that the production of goods is an enterprise in which they legltlmately figure and in which they should therefore be expected to be as competent as are men. Women can support themselves comfortably by producing almost anything from ten penny nails to novels, and they intend to do it, at the same time not denying to their sisters the right to be sup ported by mere men while they are bringing splendid, healthy children into the world. For centuries it has been commonly accepted that children were women's chief Interest In life. "Thus it happens," said the young feminist, as she played with a heavy paper-weight which was holding down a pile of bills of lading on her desk, "that more and more women are going into business, not with the idea of meeting a possible, future husband, but to stay in business and make money in It. It is useless to pretend that this will not change the old or der of things, but there is every rea son to believe that the new order will be better." The scope of the woman's chamber of commerce is extremely broad. It embraces not only the economic wel fare of women, but their physical and spiritual Welfare as well. In some of the chambers, reading rooms have al ready been estal Ilshed, containing books, magazines, newspapers, bulle tins, pamphlets. leaflets, charts and maps dealing with current events and with subjects of special Interest to women. The organization has also created a committee to survey exist ing educational opportunities for women, and to encourage night schools, afternoon study sessions, work Interval classes, vocational training, arts and crafts instruction, high school study and university extension. Moreover, the chamber places great emphasis upon health. Health talks for women have been held in many cities, and plans are being formulated for the maintenance of athletic clubs and gymnasiums In connection with the various local headquarters, as well as clinics where women will be cared for by efficient women doctors. Con ditions surrounding industrial work ers will be Investigated and reported upon, while everything will be done to stimulate recreational pursuits among women, such as boating, swimming, skating, golfing, tennis and garden ing. In towns of limited recreational opportunities, the local chamber will endeavor to secure the co-operation of the men's chamber of commerce In establishing new ones. "Women's chief lack at present is organization," declared a member of the Woman's Chamber of Commerce, the other day. "Business men are highly organized, and so are men In dustrial workers. They get a great deal of fun out of it. They are always giving banquets, dances and social af fairs, and their cluhs are numerous. They never have any difficulty in as sembling a convention or any kind of a meeting to discuss their problems. Their social life is broad. Women are only beginning to realize the value of organization, much less achieve it. So are going to do all we can to lead them up to it by means of community affairs musicals, community sings, clubs, amateur theatricals, and civic clubs." At the present time very few men's organizations admit women engaged in the same business or profession. It is only recently, for example, that va rious bar associations have admitted women lawyers. This means that thousands of intelligent, well-trained women lack the opportunity to mln. gle among men who are equally ad vanced In science, industry and the arts, because of this masculine clan nishness. Newspaper men maintain press clubs in all of our large cities, but when a newspaper woman wants to go to a club she usually has to patronize a poorly equipped Y. W. C. A. The Woman's Chamber of Com merce is going to hold a series of meetings for the public discussion of various questions to which both men and women will be invited. Like the men's chamber of com merce, which haa given so much aid to Americanization, the woman's cham ber is going to worl. equally hard on that question. In addition to maintain ing classes in English, and supplying teachers to visit immigrant families, food centers are to be established dis playing up-to-date methods of con servation and food economy. The Chamber is already bringing its in flence to bear on housing problems. This is one which vitally affects all business women probably to a greater degree than It does any other class. A business woman can rarely afford to rent a house in which to live, or even a large apartment, and the only alternative is a room In a boarding house. The one-room and bath apartment Is still so scarce, In spite of the tremendous demand for It, that it Is beyond the income of the average business woman. The erec tion of apartment houses, of the one-room-and-bath variety, is being strong ly urged by the Chamber; also, apart ment houses of the dormitory type, making -It possible for a group of women to live In home surroundings thru the hiring of one housekeeper and a maid, or thru a co-operative kitchen. The rural woman is going to be a special subject of consideration on the part of the Woman's Chamber of Com merce. She Is usually an excellent business woman, but gets smaller re turns for her skill and resourcefulness than any other class. The women of the cities are now coming tea her res cue. They are going to bring their pressure to bear on the men's cham ber of commerce to get labor-saving devices established in farm kitchens, a system o motor trucks operating be tween the cities and farms, and books and Victrola records circulating in the isolated rural districts where women often go insane from loneliness. It may be hard to see how all of these activities are related to the eco nomic independence and glory of wo men, but the Woman's Chamber of Commerce assures us that they are. For women are Just awakening to the fact that in this a man's world ev erything Is based upon the production of goods. There are still a great many who do not realize the need for eco nomic reforms. These must be en couraged, guided and educated. Wo men can't become capitalists, investors, manufacturers and business geniuses in a day, but the Woman's Chamber of Commerce is going to try to make the struggle aa short as possible. DOROTHY DIX TALKS BT DOROTHY DIX World's Iligbe-t Paid Woman Writer. December and May. 1. A woman who is fair and forty asks my advice about marrying a youth who is twenty years her junior, and who, she assures me, loves her for her self alone, and is entirely uninfluenced by her ample fortune. Personally, my opinion is that young husbands are too much trouble. They are not worth the price one has to pay for them. Granting the right of every woman to indulge her own taste in mat ri mony no matter how bizarre still, a lady wedding a man twenty years her Junior is always a spectacle of such rash and reckless daring that it is bound to challenge the attention of the thoughtful. She takes upon her poor, stopped, middle aged shoulders all of the mul titudinous burdens of matrimony that ordinary women have to bear, and then some. She adds plus to all the doubts and difficulties of the husband problem. To begin with. It Is much easier, as everybody knows, to catch a husband than it Is to keep him after you get him. These are animals you can never be sure that you have thoroly domesticated until after they are dend. Men belong to this genus, and ladies past forty seldom have the magnetic personality, the alertness of move ment, and the gay spirits that tit them to be husband tamers. If the wife who undertakes to keep a husband fascinated with her and nailed to his own fireside, has her Job cut out for her, even when time fights on her side, the woman who has twenty years arrayed against her. has a task that makes the labor of Her cules look like child's play. Aside from the task of keeping the young husband from getting lost, strayed, or stolen, and satisfied to bear his mama company instead of run ning off o play with the other kids, one is appalled at the very thought of the burdens that the elderly wife of a young man assumes. Chief among these is the curse of perpetual youth which she wishes upon herself. She cah never grow old. She doesn't dare to. She is doomed to a sort of canned girlhood. The privilege of growing old. with all Its perquisites, is one that we do not sufficiently appreciate. From this blessing the old wife of the young man is forever debarred. She can never hope to enjoy that luxurious Indian summer which is the most delightful season of a woman's life, when she lets out her stays, smashes her hair dye bottles, pitches her rouge pot out of the window and abandons herself to being frankly middle aged, and gray haired, and fat. and no better looking than God made her, or younger than the record In the family Bible.

BY IZOI-A FORRESTER. There were six seats in the box. Don had left the filling of them to Mrs. Galloway, providing she reserved two for Bab Seward and himself. "Fourth time in two weeks, Don," warned his aunt. "Are you really sure this time?" And Don, standing on her hearth rug, six feet one, athletic, stubborn and altogether her favorite, smiled down at her teaslngly. "Isn't she all right?" he demanded. "Now, honor bright. Aunt Kitty, isn't she a thoroughbred?" "Dear lad, how should I know?" laughed Mrs. Galloway. "She's pretty and charming and a great favorite with everybody, but would she wear well? The trouble, Don, with most of our 'debbies' the past few years, they are like racers trained for the big race of matrimony, or to look well at the show, but when it comes to living life, just everyday life, I don't know what they would be like." Don frowned. He knew what 1 as under her words. There was the big old house down home In Maryland, and his chances with the new aero plane company he had sunk every dol lar in. After that all he had to offer a girl was himself and hiB inheritance some day of his aunt's property. And she had brought him up ever since the death of his own mother, and had lavished so much love upon him that he felt she had indeed a right to voice an opinion. And he felt he was deeply in love with Bab. She was so gay and vivid, so full of enthusiasm and spirit, and he knew she had refused any number of men far better off than he was. "Nannie will be there tonight, add ed Mrs. Galloway, changing the sub ject tactfully, and his brow cleared instantly. It was seldom, since her marriage, that he had a chance of see ing his sister. "Seven fifteen." he said, give Nan my best and tell her to let me come up to the hotel for breakfast with her. I'm bound for Bab's nor The telephone bell rang as he passed down the broad stone steps, and Nan nie's own voice called imperatively. "Oh, but I'll have to bring her, dear, of course. Don will understand. She's little. She won't take up much room. I can squeeze her In anywhere. I went to school with her. and her fa ther's been a missionary in China or Armenia, or some place where they fairly chewed them alive, you know, and Teas Is adorable. She's just back home and I must bring her with me. You'll "rove her. Aunt Kitty." Don was late. Bab kept him wait ing, and came down the curving stair case with most provoking leisure. She was in black, with a red fan of heavy ostrich plumes, and the Seward rubies in her dark hair. He frowned. Mrs. Galloway had said It was not quite gqod taste for Bab to wear her mother's jewels while she was still a debutante. Old Seward would have given her his own head if she had asked for it, "I hate summer shows." she said, wearily. "We're going on a short cruise. Dad and about eight of his friends. Sorry I can't ask you. Don." "Sorry I couldn't go if you did," he swung back pleasantly. "Nannie's in town. I'm bound out to Fairfield with her and Grant. You know her, don't you Dab laughed. "We used to scrap all the time at Miss Baring's school. I'm sure she doesn't like me yet." The interior of the box was in shadow when they arrived, but Don could see there was only one chair vacant, and this next to his aunt. Bab sank into it ungraciously while he sent the usher after another, and Nannie's hand pinched his arm in the dark. "Room down here," she whispered. "All my fault, Don, you poor old dar ling. Forgive me, won't you? Tess, this is my big brother." And suddenly Don found himself looking into the most surprising pair of eyes, eyes so large and dark, so filled with a tender, velvety softness in expression that they knocked away all thought of Bab's perversity from his mind, and left him a willing victim. Squeezed uncomfortably between Nan nie and the side-railing he found he could whisper across her to this girl from the distant east, with her Per sian mother's eyes and manner and Frank Warren's smile, the father who had given his life in the big struggle. "You're due to breakfast with us. Don, remember," Nannie said when they parted. "Nine sharp." Don nodded, caught one last glance from Tess's eyes, and listened for the call number of his car absently. Bab's voice recalled him abruptly once they were on the way uptown. "Isn't it odd that Nan should have kept up that acquaintance? She was such a queer little thing at school, but Nan always was rather broad-minded wasn't she? Her father, I mean Dr. Warrrn, wa a kind of missionary." "He was a martyr, and a splendid chap. Don told her, briefly. "Tess will stay with Nannie for some time I imagine. My brother-in-law is her guardian." "How very Interesting!" murmured Bab. And still the hidden sting missed him. and he smiled an he leaned back in the car. The softest, darken eyes he had ever seen and a vorce so filled with sympathy and tenderness he could feel the thrill of It yet. He heard Bab saying something about the Ladds going on the yacht. Chester Ladd was in rbve with her. he knew, and still he did not care. The whole society game seemed trivial after the snatches of tragedy he had caught there In the shadows from the Hps of this girl who had come alive thru the furnace of fire. The following morning he break fasted with Nannie and Tess. Later in the day he took them down in his car to the shore cottage Nan had taken for two weeks. It stood on a crest of sand dune, with a fringe of pine and beach plum trees behind it. Every day saw Don's low. gray roadster narked outside the grounds. And Aunt Kitty kept "mighty quiet." as Don said later, leaving the game In Nannie's capable hands, until Tess told her they were engaged. "I suppose I can thank you for this. Nan." Don said, happily, but Nannie laughed and shook her blonde head as she bent over her embroidery out on the broad veranda. "It's Aunt Kitty's campaign," she answered. "Tou know none of the generals take the front any more. Fhe Issued orders from a listening post, dear. Do you mind If I write and tell that to Bab Seward? I've wanted to get a good hot at her ever since we were fifteen. (Copyright. 1019 bv the MrClnre Newa peper. Syndicate.) "When a man courts a girl. It is deeds, not words, that count."

SANDRA THE JEALOUS By JANE PHELPS BAXDRA'S WEDDING EVE. CHAPTER. IX. The night before my wedding I sat long at my window. I had read of brides spending the early hours of the last night In their homes in that way. But in the stories it was always moon light, and the scent of flowers was In the air. But it was awfully dark that night, only a faint vague light from a few pale stars Illuminated the dark ness, accentuating the gloom. There was a raw cold wind. I finally fell asleep In my chair. When I awoke I was shivering with cold. I crept hastily into bed, and pulled the clothea over my head for warmth. I mumbled a prayer and went Immediately to sleep. I did not once think of my wedding day. or of Everett Graham the man I was to marry. My wedding dress was laid out on the bed in the "spare" room as we called the guest chamber. The rest of my simple trousseau was packed in the new trunk father had given me, my initials on the end. "8. G." Sandra Graham. It seemed so queer to have it done before I had any right to the name. Everett had urged mother not to bother much about clothes, as he would get me whatever I needed in New York. But mother had provided me with a plentiful outfit of needful things, and several simple but good dresses. Mother was dreadfully proud, and she told father when they thought I wasn't around that she didn't pro pose to let her daughter go to any man without enough good clothing. We weren't to have a large wedding. Just a few of my friends and relatives. Everett said Tie hadn't any relatives iivin near and they were only distant cousins at that. He would only ask a couple of the men in the branch office in our town. "You will meet my friends when we get settled." he had said when I de murrer! because no would Invite no one. He also objected to sending out invitations. "We will send- announce- ments after we ai married. rnd give our nome aaaress. iou write your own friends informal notes. It is quite the thing to do, so don t look so disap- pointed," he had tweaked my ear while he talked. I wished he had kissed me instead. The morning of my wedding day I awoke feeling that something was going to happen. Then all suddenly I realized that it was my wedding day. that by the time the sun had set 1 1 The George Matthew Adams SWEETENED MEMORIES. One does not have to live long to accumulate beautiful memories. If one will but look for that which is right and good. It Is sure to ap pear. In nature there is nothing to trouble the heart. The good God made things that way. Most of the unbeau tiful in the world is but the result of our own faulty interpretation.

The air was crisp and cold and the sun shone gloriously. I felt happy, that all was going to be well with me. 'Happy is the bride the sun shines on,' even if she is lazy!" It was Rose Grandon's mocking voice. She caught me in her arms and whirled me around the room until we were both breathless. "Get into your clothes, lazy bones. I've come to have breakfast with Sandra Courtney." We cried a little at the Idea of Sandra Courtney's last breakfast, but mine were not unhappy tears. We had a real jolly breakfast, altho I caught mother wiping her eyes behind the coffee urn. The morning Just dis appeared, as Rose said, it went so fast. Atv12 o'clock Everett came. He kissed me before them all. making me blush horribly, and giving Toodles and Buster such wicked Joy that I blushed again at their giggles. Everett brought me the loveliest string of pearls. Not a long string, neither were the pearls very large, but of a wonderful color and brillian cy, and perfectly matched. "I am afraid you will spoil the child," mother said in her quiet tones. Everett only laughed in a way he had. and fastened them about my neck. "I wonder if they were his first wife's," Toodles whispered to Rose, and she told him to keep quiet, and not say such things. But I had over heard, and it sort of spoiled my pleas ure In my gift. Yet as I looked at the dainty, absolutely new case In which they came. I felt sure Everett had bought them for me. It seemed to me that I was hear ing many things that day which were not intended for my ear?. "She has been pettied all her life, father," it was mother talking, and I shamelessly listened.

We nre both In love with the same boy. He treats us both the sann when we are together with him, but when we are alone with him sepa rately he says he loves one better than the other. Shall we both give him up or Just one of us? And s hs a flirt? BLUE-EYED TWINS. The young man is a flirt and un worthy of any self-respecting girl. He does not love either of you or he would be faithful to one. Do not think of going with a man so two faced. Both of you should give him up. Dear Mrs. Thompson: A few years ago I ha I the habit of chewing mv fingernails. Now they are covered with white spots, tear and break very easily and are very broad. I mani cure them each day and put varellnn on them, but they do not seem to grow very fast. Can you tell me what to do to li .ve pretty nails? ICNORA.N'T. Probably you are too harsh in your treatment of your nails when you manicure. Go to a professional man icurist and so if your method are correct. The use of vaseline should make tho nails soft and pretty. While spots come from Iviises and from roughly pushing back the cuticle. Hang nails usually come from neglecting tho nails. You should push back the cuti cle gently every day. HOUSEHOLD HINTS IIsfOvcr1cs, To skin beets without bleeding put them into cold water as soon aJ cooked. Then with the hand gently draw off the skin. It will come off without trouble and the leet Will re tain Us color. Keep a cover or a plate over the pan when frying onion. They will cook more quickly and have a better flavor. If your family drink sucar in tho t tea put a lump in the teapot when making the tea and you can dispense with one teaspoonful of tea in meas uring. For cleaning mahogany furniture and removing th..- white spots caused by dampness, gently run with a soft linen sloth .lipped into olive oil. It is said you can polish quickly and beautifully by rubblna; them with h piece of orange. Let the Juice dry in, then polish with a soft brush. If unpleasant odars from cooklnjf, linger in the house, put five drops of oil of lavender into a pjfh of boilinff water. Lt this boll for fire minutea and the rooms will smell sweet and clean.

Emer gency workers should also be organ ized, the letter states, and a plan of co-operation of county and municipal health departments and Red Cross or ganizations perfected.

I would therefore admonish you to prepare for such aneventuality to the end that we may not be left in a helpless aitu atinn should our community become overwhelmed with the epidemic as it was last year." Have Funds Ready. The letter to county hoards -suggested immediate voting of funds for county emergency work. The money would be used only in event the flu situation again became aerioua in Kansas. Funds would be used for emergency hospitals, nurses, medical personnel and purchase of vaccines aa recommended by the state board for free administration. Under Doctor Crumblne's plan, counties with a population of leas than 10.000 would vote $2,000. Coun ties of between 10.000 and 20.000 would provide a fund of $4,000. Coun ties of between 20.000 and 30,000 a fund of $5,000; counties between 30. 000 and 4t). 000, a fund of $6,000, and counties with more than 40,000 pop ulation, a fund of $10,000. Doctor Crumblne advised the boards that the state department ia now compiling a list of volunteer nurses and doctors who have agreed to respond to an emeregency call. Payment for vhese services will be the same as fixed by the I'nlted States public health serv ice during the epidemic last winter. The volunteer worker will respond, the letter states, when an emergency is declared by any city or county in this state.

It's a common expression to hear the wife make the remark that she doesn't know how she is go Ing to get the winter clothes for the family and the winter coal for the family. As the shopmen's wages rise these stores raise in their prices; the larger the check the larger the store bill. Borne men are leaving; their wives be cause they claim they are extravagant, while in other cases the women are leaving their men because they can't support them.

They came with something of a shock to us when, for patriotic reasons or otherwise, well dressed American women began wearing the shadea of red and blue that one sees in the flag. Perhaps after all it is effect of so much displaying of flags that has brought about this vogue for nign contrasts, for with almost no excep tions the flags of the nations show the most vjsrld rort of color combina tions red and blue, red and yellow, green and red. The flag makers were apparently haunted by none or tnose present-day notions that these strong color combinations are inartistic. In the frock sketched for today you may see to what an extent this com bination of colors has gone, lor tnere is no attempt at softening the bold ness of the bright rose organelle against the old blue of the shantung and there is no mere suggestion of color that peeps out from a lining or shows in a narrow piping. Trimmings Make Vp Fabric Scarcity. For those who like to trace fashion changes to thalr sources there is inter esting speculation as to why it is that we are enjoying a renewed Interest in trimming. Not for a decade or more have trimmings played so important a part In clothes, and the counters where these sartorial garnishes are sold In the big shops are besieged by dressmakers' errand girls, or thote of ua who like personally to select the trimmings that we shall have on our clothes. And the reason seems to be due to the shortage of all sorts of clothes fabrics the shortage and the high price. Unfortunately this shortage of material came Just at a time when fashion's pendulum was due to swing back in favor of fuller, more bouffant clothes. There has been a persistent rumor that crinolines were next on the board. Apparently what the dress makers will have to accomplish next will be to produce the bouffant sil houette with the least possible yard age of material. To do this much de dends on clever designing. Real character can be accomplished by the proper use of trimming. Now trim mings are fairly expensive but there is no such shortpge In that line as In the materials themselves. Tou would be surprised how few yards of material are used in a little frock like the rut sketched a frock which has the gracefully draped panniers that con tinue io challenge our Interest. Washington, Aug. 6. The high price of shoes waa declared to be due to excessive profits taken by every factor in the shoe production indus try. In a report by the federal trade commission to congress made public today. The packers were charged with having begun the pyramiding of shoe prices by an unwarranted in crease in the price of hides, the sup ply of which they were said to control. On top of this increase, it was charged, the tanners have taken "exceptional profits" while the shoe manufacturers have demanded an "unusual margin" and the retailers have charged prices that are "not Justifiable." Some retail shoe dealers made as much as 50 per cent profit, the report states. The report is based on investiga tions begun more than a year ago. The commission report covering the four year period from 1914 to 1918 is the result of an exhaustive inquiry into the price of hides, leather and shoes begun more than a year ago. it was said. It has been in the president's Bands for some time and it is under stood that he urged its speedy print ing and transmittal to congress in con nection with efforts of the govern ment to combat the high cost of living. To show that the packers during the last four years have made unwarrant ed increases in the price of "packer" hide, the report pointed out that the price differential between their hides and "country" hids hides of a lower grade has increased "far beyond the usual proportion." Charges of exces sive profits against the tanner and the shoe manufacturer were said to be supported by "the high rates of re turn on Investments" In both Industries following therirlce increases. "The public?' said the report, "had to pay prices for shoes that not only could not be Justified because retail shoe dealers took too much profit but because the dealer had to pass on to the consumer the excessive profits re ceived by butchers for hides and also the excess profits of tanners and shoe manufacturers." Remedy Suggested. As a remedy for the situation, the commission recommends 'rigid en forcement of the laws against monop olistic control." legislation forbidding producers of hides from engaging in the tanning busness. and "the adop tion of a device in the distribution of shoes that will acquaint the consumer with the selling price of the manu facturer." In framing its conclusions that profits were unjustified the commis sion said it took into consideration a natural advance in the cost of leather and Vll materials due to the war. THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by ANNE KlTTE.VMOl SE Monday Mutton. Not since the end of the war has there been a special appeal from the government heads to the housewife save now that we have been urged to make a practice of having mutton or lamb Monday. The idea Is that it is highly desirable to extend our sheep raising industry and to subsitute this form of flesh food for pork and beef to a certain extent. As things are now only a small fraction as much mutton is used as beef and pork, and there is no very good reason for this state of affairs. The impression of many persons is that lamb is very dear and many butchers assure us that they have no mutton. Well, other meat prices are very high and if we go to market ourselves and make personal inquiries we can probably find highly desirable cuts of mutton or lamb that are not extremely expensive. Mutton ia quite nutritious and aa digestible and as easily assimilated as pork. There are few persons who object to it aa they do to veal or ham on the score of unwhoiesomeneaa. And. tho many persons are cautioned against eating beef, when on certain sorts of diet, there la seldom any re striction against lamb or mutton. Here are some possibilities for mut ton in your dinner menu: Olives, clear soujT, broiled lamb chops, baked potatoes, mint sauce, let tuce salad, peach short cake with whipped cream. Clam cocktail, pickled string beans. Iamb potpie, mashed potatoes, sum mer squash, cucumber salad, floating it-land. Cream of parsley soup, lamb fricas see with dumplings, mint Jell. green peas, lettuce, berry pie. Cream corn soup, pickles, fried breast of lamb with macaroni and to matoes, sweet potatoes, tomato and green pepper salad, watermelon. Vegetable soup, roast lamb or mut ton, spiced currants, baked potatoes, cabbage salad, suet pudding. Seaplane Crashes: One Killed. San Diego. CaL. Aug.

ADMITS WILSON SECRECY URGE President Suggested French Senate Not Be Given Minutes. Signed Lansing-Ischii Pact Not Knowing of Secret Treaty. Washington, Avis. 6 The clause In the peace treaty by which Japan was given the German rights in Shantung failed to agree with the advice of the American delegates to President Wil son, Secretary Lansing told the senate foreign relations committee today. General Bliss, in the name of the outer delegates, wrote a letter to the president a week bfore the Shantung jgstlon was settled, Lansing said. ."The president conferred with the commissioners in connection with the Japanese situation and he wanted to know if we would communicate our views In writing," Lansing told the committee. "General Bliss prepared a letter, which he showed to Mr. White and myself, and we concurred In It. It was some days before the Shantung decision was announced, .and was In the nature of advice to the president." UiviCC Wasn't Followed. "Did the advice correspond with what was accomplished?" asked Sen ator !'.orah. "No." Lansing replied. Lansing denied the letter was a pro tect Miice It was written about a week before the peace conference and Its decision. "Do you recall the contents of the letter Borah asked. "I shouldn't want to. It was a letter from General Bliss to the president," Lansing answered. "Is It available to the committee?" asked Borah. "Not from the state department." Landing said. "It Is a private com munication." Is C losely Questioned. Lansing, appearing before the com mittee for the first time since his re turn from Paris, was questioned re garding many phases of the peace conference. Senators questioned him clor.ely about China and Japan and about the various plans for a league of nations. Lansing said that Chinese delegates discussed with American delegates at Paris regarding protecting their Inter ests from encroachment by Japan. Admits Wilson's Secrecy Plan. He said It was true that President Wilson recently suggested that a de mand by the French senate for con fidential minutes of the peace confer ence be refused as it might cause em barrassment because of the frank nature of some of the discussions. Lansing said It would be some time before the records of the conference would be brought to America as they were being used during preparation of the other treaties. "Then there Is some question about their being available to us?" Senator Brandegee Inquired. "If they relate to the commission we will hitve to get the permission of other governments to submit them," Lansing answered. The secretary said he was not on the commission and could not say what discussions occurred that would make publications undesirable. IK-nrdlng Jnp-Alllcd Secret Pact. Discussing the Shantung provision of the treaty. Secretary Lansing said the Lanslnc-Ischll agreement made to obtain reaffirmation by Japan of the open door policy In China was entered Into by trie American government without knowledge of the secret treaty between Japan and the allies for n transfer of German concessions In Shantung to Japan. When Borah asked If Chit-a protest ed against the Lansing-Ishll agree ment. Lansing said he would have to "look it up." When Ijinslng said he could not re call Just when the secret agreements between Japan and the allies were learned of by the state department. Borah askd that he get the exact in formation for the committee. Questioning then turned on the at titude of American delegates toward China at the peace conference. No Formal Appeal From Chjna.

It was at tended by the British royal couple as well as thousands and thou sands of citizens. The photograph shows the throngs gathered in front of the cathedral. offices of the United States?" Senator New asked. "I do not think there was anything formal," the secretary replied. "The Chinese delegates saw our delegates and discussed the matter with them." "Then they did make an Informal appeal?" New suggested. "I don t want to call it an appeal, Lansing objected. "How did the United States meet it?" New continued. "I don't know how the president met It." Lansing said. Lansing objected to discussing whether the United States used her in fluence In getting China to enter the war and said he preferred to make a detailed statement on the subject. BIG PRICE JUMPS Corn Soars in Spite of the H. C. of L. Howls. Oats and Other Commodities Go Up Also. U.S.DIDNT PRESS PLAN Lansing Appears Before Senate To Testify on League. Washington, Ausr. 6. Secretary Lansing told the senate foreign rela tions committee today that the Amer ican plan for a league of nations was "not pressed" at Versailles and never was presented to the full peace con ference. The secretary, appearing at a pub lic hearing of the committee, said he did not know whether a copy of the American draft still was in existence. He presumed, he said, that the draft was made by President Wilson and added that a copy might still be in the president's possession. BACK T07iRSTL0VE Negro, 78, Remarries Wife He Pi vorccd Forty Years Ago. Louis W. Holmes, aged 7 8 years, Chicago, Aug, 6. An instantaneous upward jump of 4M to 9 Mt cents a bushel wmm the response of the corn market today to the announcement that the government would maintain the guaranteed $2.26 price of wheat. The biggest rise of the corn market was in the principal trading delivery. December which soared at once to $1.52. Long after the usuaT period when a reaction from an excited advance might be looked for the market today kept strongly pointed toward the zen ith prices, swung backward at times, but in the main the big initial bulge was upheld. One of the reasons for the contin ued strength of the market in the face pt the $1 cut in flour prices was that it nad been figured by traders here Tues day that flour would be reduced $2 a barrel. A widespread impression had prevailed that the government price of wheat to millers would be made $1.75 instead of $2.26 and that this meant, approximately, flour would be cheaper to the public by $2 a barrel. Many Wild to Buy. Wildness to buy was as evident to day as the overwhelming rush to sell Tuesday. Holders and speculators livery clerk who has occupied that position for nineteen years, has re signed on account of poor health and other duties occasioned by her inter est in a local drug business. The vacancy will be filled by Ralph D. I Snyder. Wedo J. Rush, who for several years has been a rural mail carrier on route S, out of the North Topeka office, has resigned to go to Califor nia and no appointment has yet been made for the place. Joseph D.

One additional clerk has been allowed the local of fice and this new position will be filled by Daniel D, Wadelich, formerly a member of the Topeka fire department. PUT A BRANCH HERE Union News Company May Locate in Tliis City. The Union News company of New York, Chicago and half a dozen other eastern cities may establish a branch office in Topeka, according to in formation given in a letter to the To peka Chamber of Commerce. The news company is seeking in- foi'mation regarding the city of To- pe'.:a, its industries, its population, its banking interests, and such other data as would be included in a Chamber of Commerce survey. The letter states that the company may desire to locate a branch office here.

Today, Holmes returned with the necessary E Pluribus Unum and ob tain his marriage license. He told court officers that after his first di vorce from Lizzie he married and was divorced again.

Guessing by the crowd, however, was on the wrong side and today the lightning like advance left no chance to get out of the pre dicament without paying a tremen dous penalty. So large were the buy ing operations in the pits on change today that individual traders no mat ter on what scale, counted for little. Offerings were limited and came only from the comparative few who were fortunate enough to be in a position to collect profits. One of the freakish developments was that dealers for the most part re garded the cut of $1 in flour prices as bullish instead of bearish, for the moment the view was generally ac cepted that such a small cut where a much larger one had been looked for would tend to lift the market for all commodities rather than to relieve the situation.

Crawford, state labor commissioner, will seek a conference with strike lead ers this afternoon and will later con fer with employers. He will seek ar bitration or a joint discussion of is sues. Crawford may offer his services as mediator. Announcement that the state would go into the Topeka mill strike was made today following reports of vio lence by union workers who sought to keep non-union employes from mills. Neither side has asked the state to aid in settling the trouble. Craw ford's attempt to bring about a recon ciliation is entirely on his own motion. Ask for a Conference. Some time this afternoon Crawford will seek a conference with the strike leaders and union representatives. Iater he will ask mill heads for a conference. He hopes to bring the employers and striking union men to gether for an arbitration of their dis pute. "I have been told that no confer ences have been held by the strikers and the mill officials," said Crawford. "It is my plan to aid in bringing about an adjustment of differences if such Is possible. I will seek conferences with both sides this afternoon with a view cf bringing them together for a dis cussion and possible settlement of their differences. No other state departments have as yet taken a hand in the mill strike. It is probable that Commissioner Craw ford will discuss the matte with Gov ernor Allen Thursday when the state executive returns from a trip to Cher okee county. REPAIR TIEUP aTk. C.

Three thousand striking shopmer. attended a meeting at the Labor tern- pie during the morning, the chairman of the strike committee declaring later that the strikers "will win the strike in a day or two." An embargo on perishable freight and acceptance of only their own freight from connecting lines, was said to be the probable outcome of an ef fort by the railroads to maintain pas senger service, which so far has not suffered. Forty employes of the American Refrigerator Transit company also joined the strike today. Nearly 6,000 men are out. BRINGS 8217 TROOPS Five Generals and 31 Soldiers Wives Aboard Leviathan.

Make Demands Far in Excess of Armistice Terms. (By The Associated Press.) Paris, Aug. 6.

N- Will Send Allied Forces. It is impossible for the allies to com ply with this request, as the troops are not available.

British monitors in the Danube, it is believed, will be sent to Budapest to steady the situation. The supreme council devoted most of Its time today to a discussion of the Hungarian situation. Instructions were framed for the inter-allied military mission in Budapest, which is ordered to effect a withdrawal of the Ruman ians from the Hungarian capital as soon as the Hungarian Red Guard is disarmed. After hearing Herbert Hoover on the coal situation, the coun cil decided to create a coal importa tion commfttt e for Europe.

An effort may be- made to revoka permits of fire Insurance companiea doing business in Kansas, which have failed to remove the ten per cent sur charge. Frank I., -i.ivls, state super intendent of 'insurance, today con sulted Judge 8. N. Hawkes. assistant attorney general, regarding a revov cation order and prosecutions under the anti-discrimination law. It is probable that the state insur ance department will direct fire lnsur. ance companies to Immediately remove the alleged discrimination. If the sur charge is continued In force, suits may be brought under tb afitl-discrlmina. tlon law. Travis also seeks legal ad-' vice regarding his right to revoke ;h permits of companies violating hla order. In event the Hawkes opinion gives him authority to revoke permita, orders may be issued against a num ber of insurance companies. The surcharge was placed In effect last fall, ordered revoked by Travis last spring and is not being tested In tha courts. It is the plan of Travla. tho,' to immediately suspend the collec tion of a surcharge in this state. Ha may seek relief by attempting to oust various fire insurance companies front the state and also to bring suits for collection of penalties under provisions of the antl-dlscrlmlnatlon law. Judge Hawkes may render an opinion In the case late todav. Any formal action will probably be pre ceded by a letter from the insurance department ordering immediate sua- pension of surcharge collectlona.

Promise of a generous reduction in the retail price of meat to the con sumer is made by officials of the Kan sas Livestock association, when it puts in operation a numbrr of "dem onstration shops." Plans for the early materialization of this plan will be discussed tomorrow at a meeting of Kansas stockmen in Kansas City, it is said. "A number of livestock men have offered to finance these undertakings," said J. H. Mercer, secretary of the as- j sociation. "Two plans are being dis- I cussed one to handle the cattle to be i slaughtered direct from the producer j to the slaughter house, and another is to purchase the carcasses from the packers in the regular way, Just as the retailer receives them. "We are not charging the retailer j with profiteering, because we do not know just how he Is handling his own j business or what is absorbing the large i margin between what he pays for the j carcass and what he charges the con- i sumer. What we claim is that this margin is unreasonably large and should be reduced from 60 to 100 per cent. "The open quotations on beef on j foot and on beef carcasses tell the story. The packer places a carcass i on the block in the butcher's shop, at an average price of from 15 to 18 cents j a pound. The best beeves -the high- j est quotation -is $22.50 a hundred, and only a few shops handle this class of meat exclusively." Secretary Mercer said tentative plans have been made for establishing one of the demonstration shops at i Kansas City, Kin., one at Emporia I and one other point, not yet definitely j decided upon, and probably at other j points later. "I don't know what it portends, bu 1 I fear the worst." "What troubles you?" "A guy who has been owing me $10 for a long time voluntarily came in yesterday and paid it." qh- -he Knnsa Citv.

Daily Weather Report Shows Threat of Crop Shortage. BY S. D. FLORA (State Meteorologist.) Hot and dry weather continued over the greater part of Kansas this week, tho there were a few locally heavy rains scattetred over the eastern half and in the southwestern counties. Aft- i ernoon temperatures close to or above I 100 degrees were common and the 1 nights as a rule were warm. A good I brcese helped to make the high tern- peratures endurable, but caused the I ground to dry out all the faster. Corn, especially on uplands, has been seriously damaged in the eastern I half or the state, except in the limited j localities that were favored by rain 1 this week or happened to get enough moisture to soak the ground during July, and a considerable part of It is so far gone that it is not likely it would be revived by rains now. Much of it has fired badly and many of the tassels are beginning to burn. About the best that can be said of bottom land corn is that it is holding its own. The greatest damage seems to be In the north-central part of the state and some of the extreme south-central counties. In the western counties, which were favored with good rains during1 July, corn Is still In satisfactory condition. From a third to half the crop is in roasting ear stage and be ginning to harden in the southeast quarter of the state, while it is begin ning to come Into the roasting ear stage in the northeastern and central counties. In the western part tassel ing is now general. General Report. Grain sorghums are generally from a fourth to half In head In the south central and southwestern counties and beginning to head In the northwestern part. They are needing rain and their growth is slow, except In the more western counties. Alfalfa and pastures are making little or no growth in the eastern two- thirds of the state. The third cut ting of alfalfa has begun In the south eastern part and the second is fin ished in the western. "Jutting prairie hay is well under ay. Threshing wheat Is from half to three-fourths done in the eastern third of the state, about half done in the central third, and Just beginning in the western third. In a few local ities it was delayed by rains. Grasshoppers are still damaging al falfa, corn and grain sorghums In the western half. Broom corn Is growing nicely in the southwest. Stock water Is becoming scarce in the eastern portion. GET NEW MEMBERS Stationary Engineers in Topeka Add Five to Rolls. Kansas No. 4 of the National Asso ciation of Stationary Engineers met In regular session Tuesday night and in spite of the hot weather had a good attendance and took in five new mem bers.

B. Simms. William Boast, J. t Shaffer, R. R. Baer and Dr. Miriam A. Swift each subscribed $25 to the fund to be raised by the Civic club, to pay for North Topeka's Community house, at the meeting of the Civic club last night. But these subscriptions are condi tional on twenty-five other persons subscribing equal sums. A list of names was made of persons who would probably be anxious to give this sum toward an object to the advantage of rsortn xopena, ootn in a civic and a business way. A committee of V. R. Parkhurst, D. T. Gabriel and J. C. Snedlker was appointed to see these persons in regard to subscribing to the fund. The secretary of the Civic club was instructed to write to Senators Charles Curtiss and Arthur Capper, in regard to the Community house project, and ask If they wish to contribute to the purchase fund. The committee on subscriptions was also appointed to investigate the charge of incorporating the North To- pena uivu club. Commissioner Stanfield was present at the meeting and guaranteed a drinking fountain for the Community house, to be installed when the Civic club "raised the sum. $1,300. required to. pay for the Community house. A bulletin board will be placed in the Fair store window which will show a daily report of persons sub scrlbingv,25. A place will later be an nounced where those wishing to sub scribe to this fund in smaller amounts may leave their subscriptions. Another social evening Is being planned by the club, to be given when the weather is cooler. The opening evening held a short time ago was gotten up on short notice, and was not satisfactory in every respect. This later affair is planned to be on a larger scale and to be a true sample of what the Civic club's entertainments really are. The meeting was then adjourned, subject to the call of the president.

MONEY TO LOAN. Unpayable on Our Easy, Economical Flan. Capitol Building and Loan S3 1 Kansas Are. U. S. IN BUSINESS Nationalization Principle Is Coming to Fore at Capital. Cummins Says Present Trend of Events Is Toward It. Washington. Aug. 6. Nationaliza tion of American railroads, with pos sible spread of the principle to many other industries, came to the fore in Washington today, in discussion of the labor and high cost of living crisis which confront the government. "I think the present trend of events Is toward nationalization of industry," Senator Cummins, chairman of the senate interstate commerce commit tee, told the press today. "Nationalization of the railroads, if it should occur, would, in my opinion, be followed by nationalization of the railroads," Representatives of the four big rail road brotherhoods will appear tomor row before the Joint congressional committee which will hear their sug gestions for settlement of the railroad problem by a nationalization plan. Some members of the congressional committee It was learned today intend to try to bring out this questioning that labor considers public ownership of the roafls only a step In the direc- ITES-STINGS to DWash tbe affected surface with house hold ammonia or warm salt water; then apply VICR'S VAP0R1 -YOUR BODYGUARD" -ZOf. 6071.20 tion of control of all big Industries to workers. Tbe senate Interstate commerce mlttee of three to report whether an j investigation of the railroad problem should be made by the full committee. The sub-committee was directed to study for itself the relation of rail road workers' wages to increases in living costs since the last pay raise be came effective. Senator Cummins and other members of the committee were of the opinion that the president has now the power to name a board to go into the question of railroad wages. Committee to Report. Cummins heads the sub-committee which is to file its report as quickly as possible probably within a few days. If it reports in favor of an In vestigation a resolution prepared by Cummins will be introduced in the senate to authorize it. Senator Nelson, Minnesota, de manded whether the wage demand "is part of a plan to bring out gov ernment ownership." "I don't know," said Cummins. Nelson also asked whether the wage demand was accompanied by a strike threat. Cummins denied knowledge of this also. Senator Thomas, Colorado, pointed out that the 12-cent an hour pay raise asked by shopmen would mean $800, 000,000 a year if applied to all rail road workers. "Would that not cause another in crease in tbe cost of living?" asked Thomas. Cummins said It probably would. Will Direct Kansas Census. Washington. Aug. 6.

Sydney Nye, Newton, When the Farmer Has to Plow THERE comes a time on every farm when work must be done at once if it is to be done at all. It may be plowing, cultivating, har vesting, or housing of the crops. When conditions are right the work must be started and pushed with all possible speed if the farm is to pay a maximum return that season. Under such conditions the man on the job has no time to go to town, even to get necessary supplies, and no one on the place can be spared for -that purpose. Some times it is necessary to send in for food, seed, or machinery, but for his requirements of petroleum prod ucts, the farmer knows that he will be supplied by the dark, green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) which calls at his home as regularly, though not as often, as does the man who brings his mail. He has learned that he can depend upon this delivery service, and that the Standard Oil man will deliver his kerosene, gasoline and lubricat ing oil not only to his door, but, if needs be, to the tractor in the field there are 150,000 tractors in the Middle West This is the reason for the harmon ious, close, friendly relations which always has existed between the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the farmers of the Middle West. Also this is another season why the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes pride in its position as a public servant, doing an exacting job as well as it knows how, to the dis tinct advantage of the man who raises the crops, and the millions who eat them. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave.. Chicago, HL 1765 ANSWEROFGROCER Explanation of Problems That Face Supply Men Here. Editor State Journal: I want to make a response to the articles published in Saturday night's State Journal concerning "Grocery Complaints." The watermelon incident I would call dishonesty and such a grocer should not be patronized for the pub lic Is at liberty to buy where It pleases. Now the vinegar, onion and tuna or der: 5 cent bottles of vinegar are off the market; doubling the onion order was uncalled for, and with the con stant rise on canned goods, the house wife must expect to pay more than she did three months ago. There has been a continual howl on grocer profiteering. Here are a few facts which the public should consid er. Very few housewives know how to buy economically. For instance, they buy potatoes by peck or half pect instead of by the bushel; sugar, by 25 cents instead of dollar or sack; soap by the bar instead of box; buy bread instead of baking at home; In fact, everything Just for the coming meal. This kind of buying makes liv ing more expensive because it takes more time and labor, more of that ex pensive wrapping paper and bags. A grocer's expenses are enormous. He made more profit when round steak was 15 cents a pound than he does now at 40 cents. Ice used to cost him a dollar a day, now it costs him $2; hired hi butcher for $15 a week, now pays him $35; made as much on 50 cents invested as he does now on $2 and often the cry is, "Yes, but you didn't pay the present high prices for this or that. Why such big profit?" Do you stop to think how he is going to replace that article again? Some grocers may be dishonest, but they are not "profiteering." A GROCER. JAPAN TO GET OUT Viscount Uchlda Promises Nation Won't Dabble In Shantung. Toklo, (via London), Aug. 6. Vis count Uchlda, the Japanese foreign minister In a statement issued here, declares that Japan does not Intend to claim any rights affecting the ter ritorial sovereignty of China in Shan tung. He promises that the Japanese troops will be withdrawn immediately an agreement Is conclude with China. Japan, moreover, the foreign min ister's statement adds, is considering the establishment at Tsln Tao of a general foreign settlement instead of a purely Japanese settlement. ROUND UP MOTOR CAR THIEVES? Four Men Are Beiiuj Held In Kansas as Alleged. "Ring." Pittsburg, Kan., Aug. 6. Ed Chid Ister, who with Sam H. Shaefer, was arraigned before Justice T. W. Pom eroy on a charge of stealing a motor car belonging to Everett Caldwell, of Arcadia, confessed that he had stolen six motor cars in this vicinity during the spring and summer. It was an nounced by the police. None of the stolen cars has been recovered, ac cording to word received by local of ficers from the Baxter police, but the authorities have hopes that some of them will be turned up soon. Jack Vaughn, who was arrested by the police last week and charged with being a member of the gang. Is being held. The authorities here believe Vaughn has been working with Chid ister. Shaefer, who is a real estate man in Baxter, is believed to have been the middle man in many of the jobs. Ed Hart, a fourth man. charged with Implication in the motor thefts in this section, was arrested at Pich er, Okla., and brought to Pittsburg where he Is now held awaiting inves tigation of the charges. Hart was known by the name of Gordon at Plcher, and altho nothing has been found concerning his connection with the gang it is believed by the police that he has been workinir with the others. Hart has served one term in the penitentiary. WILL HEAD KANSAS WESLEY AN Dr. L. B. Bowers, Columbus, O., Ac cepts Presidency of College. Salina, Kan., Aug. 6. Dr. L. B. Bowers. Columbus, O., at present en gaged in the centenary work of the Methodist church in Ohio, wired Tues day his acceptance of the presidency of the Kansas Wesleyan university, a position that has been vacant several months. He has been connected at various times with several large schools of the east. SUGAR PRICE DUE TO SOAR. Cuba Planning Method Controlling Sale of Commodity. Havana, Aug. 6. That the price of Cuban sugar for the 1919-20 crop will be higher than the present figure established by the United States equal ization board seems Inevitable from the present trend of events in Cuba. One of the possibilities of the near future seems to be that there will be some method of controlling the sale of sugar, either by a combination of planters and mill owners, who will ap point a special committee authorized to handle the selling end or thru gov ernment control to be brought about thru direct legislation by congress. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From the columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL August ISM.
