The grounds were well filled by i noon with a steady stream pouring in t thru the sates in automobiles and from the street cars. The crowds became I so large on the east part of the; grounds that automobile traffic had to be temporarily stopped. Large crowds! gathered at the horse and cattle shows on these rarts of the grounds. The picnickers also were in evidence all over the grounds at noon. Near every wattr fountain, every tree and em every bench fair visitors who had brought the-ir basket lunches were en joying their noon meals while they "swapped" experiences and told of the sights they had seen. Today's program was one of the best of the week and made an especial J appeal to many classes of visitors. It 1 was the day of days for the youngsters officially designated as "Children's i Day" and boys and girls of all ages j began to gather under the direction of Supt. J. K. Wilson as soon as the gates were opened. There were parades for them, sight seeing touu. contests, prise awards and all kinds of entertainment i and amusement.

Airplane F.vhlblts. The large number of airplane ex hibits and the remarkable skill shown III their construction indicate that Kansas is going to turn out many fly- ers in the near future. Some of the j planes were several feet long and llslliy of them were complete In every detail don to rudder controls that actually worked. The smallest air plane brought for the exhibit wa made from two pins and a single toothpick. It was made by John New ell and was so tiny that a special box had to be provided for it. Cattle Judging On. Also, this was a big day for the farmers and stockmen. The cattle Judging that started Monday afternoon was in full swing this morning shortly after 9 o'clock and those Interested In cattle were given an opportunity to see some of the finest animals of the west compete for honors in the prize rings. Then too, the farmers had a special program at the People's Pavilion with F. O. Blecha presiding. This program began at 10:30 and the principal ad dress was made by Alfred Docking, of Manhattan. He spoke on "The Amer- i lean Farmer as a Nation Builder and I Rebullder." Hundreds of the 35th Division boys were on the grounds and fittingly celebrated their special day and their festive anniversary of this date a year ago by recalling their experiences In France and making the most of the j great opportunity offered to enjoy such a fair as would never have been possible had they not faced death to j give victory to the allies and save the world from slavery under the Hun.

FARMERS TP JOIN CARAVAN Procession Starts 10 O'clock Tomorrow Morning. Everything Coming From Honey to Passengers. One of the interesting features of the Kansas Free Fair this year will be the parade of more than 200 trucks loaded with merchandise, which starts from Eighth and Kansas avenues at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Fol lowing Governor Allen's proclamation setting aside Wednesday as Motor Transportation day, the local good roads committee have left nothing un done to make the shlp-by-truck pa rade a genuine feature. The Kansas City Motor Truck asso ciation will send a fleet of twenty-five trucks loaded with flour, print paper and other staples. They will come here by way of Lawrence, where they will be joined by the Lawrenoe dele gation and the Lawrence band. The Paige truck dealer of Topeka has en tered twenty-eight trucks and the Trefry Motor company has entered a fleet of Ford trucks. Other local dealers have entered a number of trucks and the Topeka delegation alone probably will number more than 200. The entries from the farms within a radius of 100 miles from Topeka will be the real feature of the parade, however. Everything from water melons to loads of honey will be hauled to the Free Fair. One man will bring 87 bushels of wheat a dis tance of 38 miles. Eight or ten farm ers have entered truck loads of vege tables. Others will bring live stock, alfalfa, corn, kafir and other farm products. To Bring Passengers. The truck bringing the largest num ber of persons the longest distance will be given free tickets to the races and night shows. Cash prizes of $50,$25, $15 and $10 will be given only to Tarm owned and operated trucks bringing farm products. A motion picture film which will probably have national dis tribution will be taken of the event. The entrants will gather on Eighth street north of the state house. Promptly at 10 o'clock the parade will move east to Kansas avenue, north to Fifth street, back on Kansas avenue to Seventeenth street, then west to the main entrance to the fairgrounds. Ar rived at the fair grounds, the trucks will proceed southwest past poultry hall, turn east on the north side of the grand stand and leave the fair grounds at the east gate.

The Kansas Bankers' association to day placed a $5,000 reward on the head of every person who engages in a hank robbery in this state. J. R. Burrow, president, and W. W. Bow man, secretary of the association, to day telegraphed to every bank in Kan sas both state and national advising them of the rewards. The reward plan will be used to drive bank rob bers from Kansas and will later be placed on a permanent basis. While the notice to bankers does not state that the rewards are for robbers dead or alive, it conveys the same meaning. It states that "if a robber is dead, for the purpose of this offer, it will be the same as a conviction." Telegrams to bankers were sent from Kansas City and Topeka by President Burrow and Secretary Bowman. An Immediate fund of $30,000 to $40,000 wilt be raised by the bankers. The fund will be immediately doubled if necessary. "This is a most important move," said Secretary Bowman this afternoon, "but we are going after the bank rob- bers no matter what it costs.

JOIN .DEMOCRACY OR QUIT Vatican Lines Up In Worldwide Liberal Movement. Will Support Proletariat, but War on Bolshevism. Tarts, Sept. 9. Politically, the Vat ican has Joined hands with democ racies and cast Its lot with the new world-wide liberal movement. It was brought out in a papal letter addressed to Cardinal Lucon and made public to day In connection with participation of French Catholics In the coming parlia mentary elections. The Vatican will hereafter accept democracy as the only source of politi cal power and will work to build up and permanently establish democratic government. The. Vatican Program. The Vatican program contains four definite planks for establishment of social peace. They comprise: Co-operation of all classes. Coalition of all classes against Bolshevism. t Acceptance of democracy. education of the proletariat. Immediately preceding the war, de cline of monarchies and growth of democracies had left the Vatican with but the Hapsburg and Spanish mon arches for political allegiance. No diplomatic relation were maintained with Kurope's democracies. Ijoft Without 8upport. The fall of the llapsburg- dynasty left but on Catholic monarchy and the pope faced the necessity of recog nizing democracies or of practically disappearing from the diplomatic world. Pope Benedict has announced his choice of the former. One certain result of this policy will be eventual resumption of politi cal and diplomatic relations with Franc and Italy, thus gaining sup port In th. two leading Catholic coun tries of Kurope. a move which will make up for the loss of influence In Austria-Hungary- Tr,e movement for reconciliation with political govern- i ments Is already well advanced In Italy.

In addition to the regular fireworks spectacle and the trapeze work of the clever Cuban acrobats there will be a livestock parade at 7:30 tonight. mlng by Motor Car. That the automobile Is largely re sponsible for the great success of the Kansas Free Fair became evident this morning when cars from 11 parts of the stat began pouring Into Topeka on every road at an early hour. To peka having had her day, the out of town fair visitors began taking over the grounds today and during the re mainder of the week .they will prob ably make up the greater part of the cromds. And a majority of them are coming In their automobiles. By doing this they can come when they please and leave when they please and many of them can get to the fair much more quickly than if they attempted to come on trains. The automobile park ing space was practically filled at noon and it was expected that it would be Jammed with cafs this afternoon. Biggest Monday In History. The big Kansas Free Fair has blown up the old theory that It al ways takes a fair two days to get Into full swing. It may take other fairs this long but not the great Kansas show that is setting the pace for fairs the world over. Monday 32.000 per sons visited the grounds and the of ficials rejoiced to announce that all previous rirst day records were sur passed by a large figure the best pre vious record having been 25,000, last year. Despite late trains and delayed ex hibits, the. fair officials lived up to their promise to have everything in readiness for the first day visitors and by noonpractlcally every booth, corr- cesslon and exhibit was "open for business." The carnival shows got under way shortly after noon and the racing program with the Kansas Derby as a feature was run off with out a hitch and with a large crowd in the grandstand. Graml Night Show. But It was in the evening that the big turnout came. By 8 o'clock the grandstand was filled to capacity and by the time the night peformance be gan the overflow crowd was piling Into the bleachers, crowding around tne lence and trying to squeeze In between the thin ones. The manner In which the night pro gram, was received was conclusive proof that It will be the most popular single feature thruout the week. and. If the weather continues good, there undoubtedly will be many who will willingly pay the price to see it over again. Leading off with a concert by Marshall's band and a number of popular, snappy vocal selections by the Modocs Topeka's famous pincers the program continued from 8. until after 10 o'clock without a single mo ment of drag or delay. The Cjrdona acrobatic act was equal to any that can be seen on any stage or with the greatest circus. The daring Cubans performed all sorts of air stunts and when they had fin ished the "Chlckn Family" came out Into the track and made the grown ups as well as the children cackle with delight. Xhe chicken act ended with the Daddy Rooster getting licked bv his cockey young son who was hatched from an tgg right before the audi ence. And then came the fireworks. Victory of St. Mlhicl. The skyrockets and the scooting comets were about the same as have been seen at other fairs here. There was nothing extraordinary about them but the big show, "Victory at St. Mlhlel," was worthy of the name spec tacle even If there was not enought of the reality of battle to make the ex soldier spectators hunt for dugouts. In the battle scene of the spectacle more than two blocks of a city street are shown. Then there are soldiers or the allies and the enemy there are barrages, booming cannon, bursting snens, blowing up of buildings charges of infantrymen, signal dis plays. Red Cross nurses at work and finally the charge of the Yankee doughboys and the carrying of the colors on to victory. The battle takes place in the streets of the canvas town and carries as much af a reality as can be gotten Jnto a staged performance. After taking in the entire opening day program, an old time Topekan said coming In on a street car Monday night: "It Is certainly the greatest fair ever put on in Topeka. but I believe the greatest feature of the whole per formance Is the night show. It Is too bad ther are so many people In Kan sas who could not come to see the whole thing, but those who are here and fall to see the night show will be missing more than they see, even if they take in everything else on the grounds from the carnival Simptwist er to the Sunday school exhibit."

BAGGAGE r1 1 PHONE AT OUR TELEPHONE- THE TOPEKA DAILY BUILDINGS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR EXHIBITS! Free Fair Space, Big as It Is, Overflowing Today. Clearly This Is Most Wonderful Event on Record. THERE ARE 510 PENS OF HOGS Farmers and Stockmen Crowd ing the Departments. Tents Erected To Care for Some of the Livestock. In every way this year'" fair Is the greatest that has ever been put on in Topeka. Fair officials eald today that with the single exception of show horses, there is not a department that is not larger, and more eiaDorat tnan ever before. The cattle barn have been filled and tents erected to take care of those that could not be given barn accom modations. All of the prlie winning herd from the Nebraska Stat fair are here and there are herds from Texas. Colorado and half a dozen oth er states. The largest herd Is that of the United States government disci plinary barracks colony at Leaven worth, consisting of twenty-five head of Holsteins. Prof. A. M. Paterson, of the State Agricultural college, u- nerintenent of the cattle department says he never saw a finer collection of cattle In the state. The Agricultural college has Its fine herds here and ,imnng the finest privately owned herds are those of Harris Sons, of Harris. Mo., and Robert H. Hazelett of Kldorado, Kan." 510 Pens of Hogs. In their appeal to the farmers the cattle probably do not equal the swine exhibits. Even with the new barns built only this summer, the swine ac commodations have proved inadequate and many exhibitors are putting up with makeshift pens. There are 510 pens filled with hogs and some of them contain more than one animal. Farmers and fair visitor who like machinery are spending interesting hours in the farm machinery field. The field resembles a tractor show on first sight. In every corner may be found u tractor and there are all type and aire from the smallest to those that resemble the wtllowpowalopus. Also there are hundreds of other farm machinery exhibits including engines of all kinds, threshers, clover hullers. hay presses, pumping outfits and light ing and heating plants. The poultry department was filled by the time the fair grounds were opened Monday morning and in the pens can be found every kind of fowl that is raised In Kansas. The repre sentative of a big poultry Journal who came here from the Nebraska fair at Lincoln, said today that Topeka has the best poultry display he has seen this season and that poultry lovers will find It worth while to make a special trip to the fair Just to visit this de partment. Granary of Uio World. Agricultural hall is keeping pace with the other departments of the fair that are becoming larger and larger every yey. This year it is filled with grain displays that would Indicate Kansas Is the granary of the world and some of the corn shown belies the crop report to the effect that Kansas will have no corn crop. The boys' and girl' and women's departments are larger than ever be fore the superintendents say and the young Kansas farmers and house wives have some remarkable exhibits. It is Impossible to pass the displays of the boys and girls canning clubs and keep your mouth from watering. In all departments, and even on the Sunflower Trail, there is a new appeal this year the appeal of the educa tional attraction. Nc longer do the majority of fair visitors seek merely amusement. They want something in structive and educational and these are the things that make the big ap peal. In no place Is this shown so plainly as on the Sunflower Trail. In ihe old days the big attractions on the car nival grounds were those where the girls kicked high and carrted their paint and Jewels enticingly. But now the carnival crowds gather around the shows that have something to offer in the way of education such as the submarine show, the Panama Canal show and the like.

With the Kansas Derby run and von race goers of Topeka have settled down to a thoro enjoyment of the events on the race card at the Kansa Free Fair for the next three day. Four races are on th program at the Free Fair this afternoon making what appears to be the lightest card of the four days racing. The 2:25 trot and the 2:17 pace arc the harness event thi afternoon. Two running events la five furlong dash and a even furlong run complete the card for the day. It 1 expected that the big grand stand and bleacher will be filled to overflowing for the race thl after noon. Monday more than five thou sand persons watched the Monday event; ten thousand eyes watched the aope, upset on the Kansa Derby and on the 2:11 pace. In the Derby a big rangy black geld ing owned by W. E. Parker of To peka was being played by the pools aa a favorite. Striker with Dugan In the stirrups was the pick of the crowds for first piaoe. But Striker wa left flat footed at the tape when the horse broke away. Six lengths and more did the Topeka horse make ud in the first half mile, coming under the wlr for tne nair nose and nose with the leader. It wa the pace that kill, tho. end the lopeKa norse. unfaltering in courage. wa unable to hold the speed. The Derby wa won by Minnie H., a Joplin owned horse with Jockey Brown In the saaaie. Time Wa 1:44. The time for the mile wa 1:44. Just three seconds slower than the track record of 1:41 held by Jack Witt. To decide the 2:11 pace it was nec essary to run the full five heat. The racewas run by Foxy Ann, a chest nut mare, driven by Garrison. Thl norse distinguished herself last year in tne same event when she ran-her self out following the accident which Charles Herbush, a veteran rac driver, was killed and Dan Case, an other driver, was injured. Foxy Ann was running In sixth place last year when the accident oceurred. Four horses were down when the little sor rel plunged thru the welter of sulkies and horses ana drivers. Foxy Ann cir cled tne track six times with sulky swinging after the accident and wag withdrawn from the race. In thl same race Monday wa en-' tered Tiberias, the bay horse which dashed Terbush to his death last jeart Also Tiberias this year was driven by Dan Case, the driver who o nearly gave hi life in the accident. Tiberias finished in third place this year. One of the features of ttle 2:11 pace was the running of the third heat. The field of four horses got away to a bad start. Two of the drivers Case and Garrison thought Starter Cpdegraff had given them tne bell. No such thing. Driver Brlttenfield at the grand stand turn cut thru the field, and steered big Jim B. to first place for the heat. Foxy Ann and Tiberias who had been sole contenders for first hon ors In the other heat finished third and fourth in this heat. The other races were well run and were more than worth watching.

A CORN CROP LOSS Paxton Report of 67,562,000 Bu. 47 Per dent Condition. This Means 30,6S8,OflO Bushels Less Than Last Tear. HAY SHOWING BEST SINGE '15 And Alfalfa Will Produce Mil lion More Tons in '19. Indications That Winter Wheat Acreage Will Be Reduced. The Kansas corn crop will amount to 67,582,000 bushels, according to the September report of Edward C. Pax ton, of the United State bureau of crop estimates. This estimate is 30,488,000 bushels below the average yield of the last five year and is bused on a condition of 47 per cent on September 1. Only the unusual amount of mois ture srored In the ground la.t spring has made possible thl yield. There was a general deterioration In the state during August, altho rains In some of the northeastern counties will Improve the quality. In tne northwest, where the best prospects have been hitherto, the corn is beginning to suffer se verely. Good Wild Hay Crop. The wild hay harvest of 1,187,000 tons la almost completed, and is the best since 1916, when 2,240,000 ton were produced. The alfalfa crop will be about 3,487,000 tons compared wltn 2,483,000 tons last year. The total hay production of Kansas will be about 6, 828,000 ton, as compared with 3,834, 000 In 1918. Grain sorghums look good. Kafir, mllo and feterjts, were about 79 per cent of normal, with a prospective yield of 27,170,000. Poor corn yield the last few year and a fluctuating hog market have decreased the num ber of hogs on hand for fattening to 75 per cent of last year. Only the urge for more hog during the war has kept the number a high as it now stands, it Is believed. Condition of Pastures. Pasture condition was rated 80 per cent of normal on September I. In the central and western districts it continues abundant; rain in the east has stimulated a good blue grass growth and in the west a good crop of buffalo arjjd gramma grass Is loured for winter use. Broom corn is 69 per cent of normal and promises a yield of 5.205 tons. Except In a few scattered sections the soil is not fit for winter wheat seeding and prospects are that the wheat acreage will be reduced to a pre-war basils. In the western half the grasshoppers will delay seeding to a late date and In other parts the Hessian fly will hold up operation.

The grc-atest military turn out that has greeted the president on the trip wa drawn up before the capitol as he left. Approximately 1,600 troops from Minneapolis and St. Paul, it wa stated, composed the escort when they snapped to present arms as he emerged from the building, paused a moment to look over the panorama of St. Paul visible from Capitol Hill, and walked slowly down the broad steps to his automobile amid continuous cheer ing. The blocks near the hotel were-l packed with people who spilled over from the atdwalks Into the street, and the applause grew steadily greater, reaching Its highest point a the presi dent entered the hotel, where there was a very noisy demonstration.

The president appeared on the rear platform to bow and smile at war camp community service girls who sang war songs. Mrs. Wilson, carry ing a bouquet, also appeared. There was prolonged hand clapping but no cheering. Tho singing girls brought a big laugh from the crowd and a smile from the president when they sang "Good Morning. Mr. Zip. Zip. Zip." Pro-Germans' Hope Revived. Wilson is hammering on his argu ment that ratification Is essential from a purely American standpoint and that the country will suffer if It re fuses to Join the league. He pictures I an American government ruled by a military caste if the treaty Is refused His assertion that pro-Germans were again raising their heads in America as a result of delay in ratification, hop ing that America and Germany would be the nations to remain ontside the League oft Nations, created a sensa tion in Sioux Falls last night.

Thi would be Independent of the other two charge, the- customer' charge and the demand charge. After the customer had paid hi customer's charge and th demand charge he could use all of the ga he wanted at a low price per thousand cubic feet, with the only reservation that he at no time could exceed his prearranged hourly demand. This would enable the customer to do hi cooking, hi water heating, hi lighting. If he o desired, and save. money on hi coal bills by using gas for Incidental heating In the autumn and spring.

Director, Wasblng ton. P. r. Mora than three billion California tyranpes aid lemons were eaten by th American public during the last year, gtccording to the annual report of G. Harold Palpal, general .manager of the California Fruit Grower' ex chanpe. The crops of lemons and summer oranges were each the largest In history. The e'xehange handled 1,02 carloads. Prices for oranges and lemons. It Is set forth In the re port, have not advanced in proportion to the prices In genersl commodities, particularly those purchased by the producer. The exchange selling cost, however. Is lower than It was ten years eg", due to larger volume, and the cost of marketing oranges and lem ons thru the exchange has been re duced to a Joint where it Is lower than the cost of selling any other parish able food crop. Advertising la given much f the credit for keeping th use of oranges and lemons ahead of the rapid Increases In production. If the club women of Topeka Join the revolt against the high cost of servants. Inaugurated by the society women, many reforms are almost cer tain to suffer from lack of attention. A woman cannot do kitchen twork and devote a great amount of time to pur auit of the festive cigaret. Th war formed two leagues of na tions thos associating themselves with th central powers and thoae who allied themselves against this greedy, military power. The big league whipped the lesser. What we want now is a perpetual league of nations which will stick together, a league composed of the stronger nations at least, so that It will be known in ad vance what may be expected If any ration starts) a war. None will be started with auch a league in exist ence. Among the first Industries to recov er from the effects of the war la that of shipping. In spite of tha war and of the submarine, and notwithstand ing the temporary and partial Inter ruption1 of shipbuilding in soma coun tries, the tonnage In June, 1919, was 2,403,000 groaa tons greater than it, was in June. 1914. Not only was It possible for the shipyards of the world to replace during the war losses of approximately IS. 000, 000 tons, but they were able to Increase the pre-war fleet by 2.500,000 tons. The evil of reducing prices is that If government fix tha price of any thing at all, It must fix prices all along tha line, else the whole burden Is placed upon a small class, forcing it. possibly, to quit business. If the price of shoes wera suddenly cut in half, or to their 1914 levels, the retailer of shoes would be crippled because of th high pric he must pay to the manu facturer. If the prica charged by tha manufacturer were correspondingly cut by the government, he In turn would be crippled because of the high price ha must pay for labor and for leather. If the price charged for leather were forcibly reduced, th tan ner would be made to face the high price of hides. These reduced, the hid dealer would contend with th high price of cattle. Th pric of cat tle reduced, and what would the cattle raiser do when corn and other feed cost more than twice as much as be fore the war? Railway wages hav Increased mors la proportion than tha cost of living Since the war began, according to sta tistics published by th Railway Age. President Wilson's action In granting the shopmen only a small part of the advance In wages for which they naked Is declared by the Age to have great significance because largely a Recognition of the fact that, on the basis of Increased cost of living they were not entitled to a large advance. "His attitude and utterances clearly Indicate," it says, "that he has decided JL -I .1 II to make no further substantial ad vance! In railway wtfti under gov- rnment operation." The clatma of the shop employes were based partly on wages paid to similar classes of workmen In other industries and part ly on the increase in the cost of living. The advance of four cents an hour (Ivan them makes thair wages. It la claimed, slightly higher than thos of workmen in the principal metal trade. A TRIAL or STRENGTH. For the past five years the railroad workers have been dictating terms to the government. There are indica tions that Washington Is about to call a halt. If the railroads undertake to buck both the government and the public at th same time they will find it uphill work. The public Is willing for them to have all to which they are entitled and all they can get by meth ods which do not Include interruption of the transportation business of the country. If the president and Direc tor General Hlnes decide to maintain their present attitude toward the de mands of the railroad men they can depend upon the backtng of all the people outside the labor organisations. Less than one-twentieth of the p vp ulation of the United States cannot dictate to the remaining nineteen twentleths. The public Is beginning to understand that' there la only one place from which the director general of railroads can get money to pay higher wages to shopmen, or clerks, or anybody else In the organization he controls, and that la from the pockets of the people. The railroad brotherhoods also should understand-that. This money may be taken from the people in the shape of higher freight rates, which the original shippers of goods will charge to their customers, who in turn will pass the charge on to their cus tomers, until the ultimate consumers foot the bill In the prices they pay for commodities, or it may be taken from the people In taxes levied to meet the deficits caused by government con trol of '.he railroads. Whichever method be adopted, one thing is sure, the people will pay the bill. Higher freight rates, of course, will add to the cost of doing business. These costs the general public muat pay In increased prices of food, cloth ing and all the other things it needs. If the higher cost of transportation Is met by appropriation of money from the national treasury, to .meet the deficits of government railroad oper ation, the people must pay by taxes, directly or indirectly. President Wilson stated in his mes sage to the public that the demands of the shopmen and all similar de mands mean in effect this: "We make Increases in wages which are likely to be permanent In order to meet a temporary situation which will last nobody can certainly tell how long but In all probability for only", lim ited time,' and that: "Any substantial increase In wages in leading lines of industry at this time would utterly crush the general campaign which the governmer.v is waging with nrgy. vigor and substantial hope of success to reduce the high cost of living." Organised labor protests that It seeks mora wages solely because it Is eostlng more to live, but Instead of aiding In the reduction of that cost it is doing an In Its power to increase it, both by exacting higher wages, and by strikes- reduction of production. It is reported that the war depart ment ia preparing extensive plans for military operations that appear to be connected with Mexico. The plans. It is said, represent a greater mobiliza tion than has ever ben-contemplated for Mexico's Benefit since watchful waiting became our national policy. Great quantities of material of ail sorts guns, pontoons, ammunition and general supplies have been or dered to the border. Engineers are making detailed maps of the forts of the Rio Grande and of the passes and canyons beyond. Intelligence officers are collecting every kind of data that would be of value to American com manders across the border. Question naires have'been mailed to thousands of reserve officers to ascertain their immediate availability for field serv ice. It would be interesting to know whether these activities are a part of our announced change of policy or whether they are merely another bluff. elt should be born in mind that th packers have no power to prevent any meat dealer from killing his own beeves, hogs or sheep and selling the meat at retail on the local market in competition with the Chicago or Kan sas City product. If the local dealer cannot kill his own meat so cheaply as he can buy It wholesale from the pack ers, that Is a confession that th pack ers can render the 'service at leas cost and thus supports the contention of the packers that their methods enable them to cheapen the price of the ar ticle to the customer unless Interven ing circumstances place obstacles In th way. If. as the railroad brotherhoods as sert, under the Plumb plan of having the government own the railroads and th employes run them, the fares and freight rates can be reduced and the profits Increased to the point of pay ing a large dividend In addition to pro viding a fat surplus to be divided among the employee, the wonder is, ays th Springfield Union, that the 2.000.000 employes do not get together to buy and operate the railroads on their own account. Their failure to seize the golden opportunity seems to Indicate a lack of faith In the sound- neas of their own argument. TOFXKA STATE JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU IC J. BAtKD Waatxtagtam. Ol 43. THTRTY' MILLION COITON CLIPPERS. Washington, D. C, ScpL S. Uncle Sam is going to pay out more money in interest alone this year to the thirty-odd million holders of liberty bonds than it cost him to run the govern ment before the war. During the next twelve months, he will have to hand orer nearly a billion dollars to the great army of American citizens who bought his war bonds. Before the war, coupon-clipping in dividuals of this country constituted a small and exclusive class. Now, one out of every three persons in the United States has the coupon-clipping habit. Twice every year each of the thirty million will go to the safe, or some other place where the bonds are securelv tucked away, clip off the coupon, present it at a bank and re ceive the interest. Such a transaction makes you feel like a millionaire whether you are or not. The next clipping day is the 16th of September. That's the day when you get out the liberty bonds, pick out those labeled "Third Liberty Loan," take 'em to the bank and get your share of the M8. 750. 981. 81 that Uncle Sam pays to holders of these securities on that day. The 15th of October is another pleasant day, in the same fashion, and so is the ssme date In November, and in December. The government has chosen the fifteenth day of eight months to honor as interest dates for the Liberty and Victory loans. The first interest date fell on March 15 Others are April 16. May 15. June 15. and then none until September 15. Totalling all of the amounts paid In interest by the government on the various issues of bonds and notes, the -sum for the year makes the nation's operating expenses for such old-fasn-loned years as the three which have preceded the war look rather pica yune. In 1919, Uncle Sam will have to pay $810,000,000 of interest on govern ment securities. In 1914. congress ap propriated 684, 757. 27, 26 for the running of the government. Uncle Sam was even more frugal in 1915, spending a few million dollars less, and in 1916 it cost about the same to run the country. Tou realize how war boosts the cost of living for nations, wien you compare this with our war bill of about thirty billions of dollars. It's pl?.rant to clip the coupons and have the man behind the screened window push out $2.12 for each per cent $100 bond you rwn. Tou get this much twice a year. But when you start wondering what willl happen If everybody who gets a dip into this big money starts spending It, It may make you somewhat nervous. If everybody decides to spend his share of the $88,000,000 that will be paid to people all over the country on September 16, what will happen. There will be Just that much more money in circulation and more money in circulation means that prices must go up. And If the people of the county In one year, spend more extra money than It cost annually to run the gov ernment a few years sgo. the present shortages of food and clothing and all of the other things people buy, ob viously will be increased, and this again will boost prices. But tnere are other thlnsrs to do with money besides sDendinr it. The majority of people who bought Liberty Lonas saved the money with which ro Duy tnem out or tneir earnings. They do not need the interest money for their living expenses. This inter est money is velvet, and therefore it can be saved most advantageously. The government Is yearning to bor row It, and to pay an even better in terest rate for it. By putting the in terest money right back into govern ment security in the form of War Sav ings Stamps, it can be immediately put-to work and made to earn four per cent, compounded quarterly. The government debt is an interest ing thing to study. It indicates that some of the sovereign American peo ple have been very careless. There is a eolumh in the national ledger headed, "debt upon which Interest has ceased." The item amounts to more than 11.000.000. Investigation shows that this amount of money is I neia in the treasury to pay bonds is sued during the Civil war, and at other periods, that have reached maturity, but have never been redeemed. Somebody, somewhere, has probably left these bonds in the drawer of an old bookcase that has gone out of fashion and has been stored away in the attic until it becomea "antique" enough to be restored to the library. Or some may h,ave been lest thru fires and burglaries and other accidents. Every now and then one of these old bonds turns up and is cashed. Holders of most of the present war securities are not likely to be so care less. And so it msy as well be pointed out. right now. that it does no good to hold the bonds with their coupons attached, after these become due. The coupons do not bear Interest, neither do the interest checks mailed in pay ment of Interest to holders of non coupon bonds. The coupons should be clipped promptly on September 15, or as soon thereafter as convenient, and immediately re-invested In Wr.r Sav ings Stamps. In this way the interest money does not lie idle, but is at once set to work. The treasury department will mail 750.000 checks to holders of regis tered bonds on September 15. Payment in interest on the war debt of a sum larger than that required to pay all of the expenses of the gov ernment a few years ago seems to in dicate a rather hopeless task, until one looks back into the history of the financing of prevous wars. The total cost of the war between the states was approximately three and a half bil lions, according to a close estimate a little more than one-tenth of the cost of our part in th great war. At the end of the Civil war there was talk, serious consideration even, of declaring the government bank rupt, like an insolvent individual, and of wholly repudiating the national debt. There were many men of In fluence and standing who believed the nation could never lift this staggering burden of debt. And yet. within ten years government bonds that had sold as low as $50 in gold went up in price to as high as $109. This was due. In part, to the fact that the pur chasing power of the dollar in 1864 was only 38.7 cent that la a paper dollar vouched for by hanks and by the government, was only worth that amount. No such rise in the purchasing pow er of the dollar Is likely to follow the present period of high prices snd low purchasing power. But many author- ities state the belief that as produc tlon Is increased, and the world set tles down to a normal economic basis, prices will decline considerably. And so, it's a good idea right now to hang onto the dollar, and let it earn some more dollars. When this country was something of a calf, and was wobbling about on unsteady legs, not knowing whether it was going to live or not, it was handi capped, by its first war debt. It cost our forefathers a little more than $80. 000.000 to win their Independence a little less than the amount of In terest that holders of third liberty bonds will reap in a few days. A bit later on, ths war of 1812 sent the na tional debt up to $127,000,000. Then we had peace and prosperity for a long period. And from 1S16 to 1886, inclusive, the annual income of (he treasury substantially exceeded the expenditures. The debt was gradual ly diminished and after a few years the United States, with a cash surplus in the treasury, presented what a his torian has called "that happy spec tacle of a people substantially free from the smallest portion of debt." We had a great deal of land in those days, and the government sold It at a fair return to newcomers to our shores. That money helped to pay off ths little obligation which we in curred in getting independence. Then a panic came along in 1887 and the surplus In ,the treasury' dis appeared. There is not likely to b another surplus for a long time. It will take at least twenty-five years to pay oft the present war debt. HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS BT MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSOK. Dear Mrs. Thompson: .1 am young man nineteen years of age. have been going with one girl regu- larly for over two years. I love her a great deal and I think she cares for me. Last winter I went off to school and started going with a girl there Just to have a good time. I was cor responding with this other girl and when I came home, of course I went with her. I have been writing to the girl I met at school and I believe she thinks I really love her from the way she writes. I do not want to quit her en tirely for I likeher very much. My sister says I should not fool her. but I do not look at it that way. I like to go with a lot of girls, but not in a flirting way. Do you thing I should drop her en tirely? If so, gradually or at once? J. D. If you are only a friend to the girl and do nothing to indicate a closer relationship, there is no reason why you should give her up. Of course you have no right to make love to her or do anything that would sug gest serious intentions. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Q. Who Is th head of the federal re serve board? P. K. C. A. W. P. Harding is governor of the fed. eral reserve board, which la theagency which directs the reserve bank systems of the nation its most Important fiscal agency. Governor Harding was formerly a banker In Birmingham. Q. How much would ten thousand dol. Ian in gold weight? W. A. D. A. This amount of gold coin would weight about thirty-eight pounda.

Who Is Dorothy nix? L. M. A. The real name of Dorothy Dlx Is Elizabeth Meriwether Ollraer. She lives in New York and has written for newspapers for many years. 4 How long hav postage stamps beeu used? E. N. W. A. The use of postage stamps is not more than a hundred years old. The Sar denlan states stamped letter paper In 181. The first adhesive stamps were issued In 1S34. The British government offered a prize of 200 pounds for the best suggestion for bringing stamps into general use. Their use was first practically developed in Great Britain. Q. Which live longest, fat popie or thin peopl? T. D. F. A. Tables prepared by insurance com panies show that people who are twenty pounds under average weight are longest lived. The more flesh people put on this minimum the more likely they are to die. A person who Is sixty pounds over weight is twice as likely to die as a thin person. Few fat people llv to be old. Wnen the system beglna to break down the vital organa are unable to support this burden of extra weight. Q. Can cotton be grown in Hawaii? It. E. A. There 1 a very superior cotton known as Caravonlca grown in Hawaii. It Is a cross between tree cotton and Sea Island and is long staple. It Is not killed by frost as cotton is In the United States, but is cultivated year after year as is an orchard. Certain difficulties have been met in developing It but it is expected to prove a profitaol crop. Q. What Is ths monkev drill N. T. H. A- This Is the drill in the United States cavalry in which the ridera perform fancy stunt on their horses, rivalling the best clrcu riders. Q. Why are bumble bees necessary to clover? H. B. A. Many plants will not bear fruit or seed unless pollen is carried from one blos som to another by Insects, thus fertilising them. The bumble bee is the only Insect, which feeds on clover, that has a long euougn oeax to properly place tne pollen in a clover blossom. So. If there arc no clover blossom. So. If there ar- no I bumble bees the clover will not bear seed to reproduce itself. (Any reader can get th answer to any Juestlon by writing the Topeka Stat ournal Information Bureao, Frederic J.

"Do you see that chap yon der?" he asked me. "Well, I knew him 20 years ago. He Is the man who produced one of the greatest musical comedy hit of his day. But he hasn't done a thing worth mentioning since, tho he is bubbling with ability." The world is filled with such "one time" men those who let a single success kill them. I have in mind an actor who scored a tremendous success in a play that everybody was talking about many years ago. But he never rose again, after that popularity had waned. He, also, was a "one-time" man in a "one time" Job. EVENING STORY The Smugglers. BY WILL T. AMES. There was no long black, rakish lugger. There was no cave, wind swept and spray washed, carved by the erosion of a million years of breakers far into the face of a cliff. There was no secret underground passage leading from the back of the cave to the manor house of the titled leader of the smugglers; there was no clash of cutlasses; no band of bearded adventurers ready to lay down their lives for the swashbuckling, hand some young chieftain. There was a trawler, an inshore trawler thirty feet long with a tiny cabin forward and a little glass hut like a wee conning tower to protect the steersman's. head s he stood on the cockpit floor and ran his ship, en gine and wheel, quite alone; for she was a one-man boat. Ashore at a spot where the river road ran but half a dozen rods from the estuary, there was waiting a one ton motor truck. And there waa as fine a cargo of contraband on the Trawler as was ever boated ashore from any lugger, or battled over in the dark by soldiers and blue-water bul lies, since custom houses, and their evasion, were invented. Travis's part in the transaction look ed easy. All he had to do was to meet the tramp a mile due south of Ducks and Drakes light at 10 o'clock, take the forty cases aboard, run into the sequestered tidal estuary which was his home harbor anyhow, help the man of the motor truck load the stuff and collect $10 a case from the truck driver. Four hundred dollars for a night's work is a lot of money to a trawler. And Ben particularly needed that $400. As to the risk "Piffle!" said Kimplnski. Kimpinski, Junk dealer, was the owner of the truck, and its I driver for this occasion. 'If the gov- I ernment was looking for some one for I a few bottles of booze, would they let a shioload of It go along the coast like a peddler, maybe? Sure, it's all fixed. Everywhere is It coming in. The coast guards bah! They can see nothing; the wind is blowing hundred dollar bills in their eves!" There seemed to be sense to this. If the government were, Indeed, as zeal ous in the suppression of contraband liquor as it was supposed to be, would it be likely to concern itself with small fry like Ben, and still permit a big ship to cruise the coast, dropping on her illicit cargo here and there to fish ermen, tugs and coastwise schooners? Surely It must be well "fixed." And Ben wss young and adventurous; he didn't put much stock in the eight eenth amendment anyhow and he needed It. Caroline was helping in the matter of the bungalow, too. She went into town five evenings a week and taught foreigners In the evening school It's strange how things happen, how they dovetail. One of Caroline's pupils was Kimplnskl's eldest son, a man grown but young. Kimpinski came to the school and called his son out into tha hall. Afterward, near the door where Kimpinski had stood. Caroline picked up a crumpled telegram, addressed to the Junk man and signed by an initial. It said: "Try Benjamin Travis trawl fisher man Sandy Bay." It was rather startling to Caroline. Also it happened that young Isadore Flnkelstein confided to Miss Webster that Kimpinski was a bad man, a law smasher already. Now it was that Caroline had Just been reading an old-time novel one of the lugger and cave sort and as she read it, the thought had come to her that the dashing, handsome smug gler hero must have looked a good deal like Ben. So. with what she night in his bout a most unusual thing something Jumped up in Caro line's throat and her heart beat In fear. No man could have deduced that Kimpinski had gotten Ben and his boat mixed up in liquor smuggling. Any woman could, especially one who knew Ben's treak of recklessness and who had been reading lugger stories. Wherefore, as Ben's trawler chugged up to an anchorage three rods irom the shore where Kimpinski's truck waited, on as dark a night as you can have when there are no stars, and when Ben, with six of the cases piled into his skiffbeat. rowed ashore, four coastguard gobs end a coastguard lieutenant arose out of the hedge to greet him, and at the same instant two others stepped from behind the trees, where they had been watching Kimpinski for twenty minutes, and grabbed the Junkman by the collar: "We'll Just trouble you for the loan of your skiff. Travis," said the officer, "till we bring the rest of that stuff ashore ourselves. Then you can take her and go about your business. Tou're a very lucky chap." It was at the front gate of Caro line Webster's home that they had it out the next afternoon. Caroline, pale but determined, met Ben there and talked to him over the barrier Instead of swinging it open, as usual. In mute welcome. "I know what happened last night." she began, taking the situation by the horns. "It was I who informed if you want to call it that.'' Travis looked at he as if she had' struck him in the facek "You!" "Yes. I. Ben Travis, vou and I have been nearly three years trying to get a j home together so as to start right.

SANDRA THE JEALOUS By JANE PHELPS SANDRA FINDS LIFE A PXZZLL. CHAPTER XXXVIH. So everyone had thought Everett would marry Irma Alston. Perhaps he was sorry he hadn't! He always acted so gay and interested when he was with her not at all stern und quiet as he was when with me. I had felt a little Jealousy of Mrs. Alston ever since the first time I had seen Everett talking with her. Now that Jealousy was increased. She acted flattered by Everetfa attention but if he had eared for her, why hadn't he married her instead of me? Then I remembered what Mr. Lev eredge had said. "She's not young, And I guess Sra ham Is ready to settle down with a family. It looks like it, marrying that child." How I wished the music had not Just then started up. I couldn't help wondering what more he would have said. He had started "He is" then I heard no more. "If Everett Graham thought he was going to marry me Just to make a mother of me, he was mistaken! Let him adopt children if he wanted them." I said to myself, then blushed at my immodesty in thinking of such things. Yet hadn't he as much as told me that was his reason for ask ing me to marry him? "A home and family, wife and children," he had said when I asked him what he had married me for when he loved Leola. Sometimes I thought no girl ever had such a queer sort of a puzzle to solve as I did. If I could have writ ten of talked It over with mother, I think she would have found some way to have helped me. But she was sa far away; had been so averse to my mar rying an older man. and would be un happy if she thought I was not con tented, that I couldn't bring myself to let her know anything about how 1 felL I blushed whenever I thought of how I had told Rose Grandon that Everett was "crazy over me, wild to marry me." I had heard how he treated Leola, the woman he was in love with, and of whom be was so Jealous. And I knew the way he treated me, the woman he had mar ried for those other reasons. Oh. if I only dared to do the things Leola did! If when Everett told me not to dance In public places. I had the courage to dance all I wanted to and when he treated me coldly or flared up at me. I dared to 'make such a fuss that he would have to do something to quiet me! Some day when I was a little older, and had been his wife a little longer, I would do things, too the thingsLeola used to do. I was learning f. lot about her. Perhaps I would soon learn some of the Indiscreet things she had done: then I would do the same things. If they made Everett love her, they Or I could have let It go and then pleaded with you afterward-not to do U n,,t tViat wouldn't do neither of those things would do for me.

I did not reason that it waa 'hot because of the things Leola did that Everett loved her, but because of what she was she herself; that he loved her so well that he was willing to bear with her because of that love, and not having that same feeling for me that same intense love, he would not be willing to put up with the same things from me. The next afternoon Barrett Ed monds came up to practice the new songs. I tried again to get him to enthuse over Rose, but he simply would not. He Just said nice things to me. Not silly, babyish things like fat Mr. Leveredge and that horrid Mr. Cantwell did Barrett treated me as if I at least knew a little something and had passed the stage when all I could do was to play with dolls. We had a delightful time even if he wouldn't talk about Rose. I called him Mr. Edmonds, of course, but he asked me if I didn't think we knew each other well enough for me to call him "Barry," as Alice Sloane did. "Oh, no!" I replied, blushing fur iously.' "I never called anyone In Hen don by their first names." "Why not in Hendon as well as any other place?" "Oh, I don't know!" I wanted to say I didn't think Everett would like it, yet hated to. "You see I haven't known you very long." "I won't urge you. But If you" he left his senteiree unfinished. "May I Join you and Mrs. Sloane Friday at Rappelye's?" he asked a moment later. "I should enjoy It, my reply sounded stilted. "Please expect me then. Tell Mrs. Sloane I hope to be host on that oc casion." The rest of the time he stayed we Just talked and laughed. I told him of home and the boys and girls, of Toodles and Buster. I made him laugh heartily when I told of some of their pranks: and how they used to tease me. I had not meant to be so confidential; Everett had told me to keep my home affairs to myself that people were not at all interested in what belonged solely to one's own family. Yet Barrett Edmonds said when he left that he had not spent so happy an afternoon in a long time. I was very sure I hadn't. Until Friday," he had said when he left then raised my hand to his lips! I had read of men who did this, but it was the first time a man ever had kissed my hand. Someway it kept him in my thoughts. Tomorrow Sandra lunches alone with Barrett Edmonds.

Heaping a Husband 2. "My frlsnd Is not a weak wom-n," continued the woman,, "but because family rows and scenes were vulgar and degrading in her sight, she en couraged her husoatid Sn his tampers by avoiding every subject of dispute, and giving In to him rather than see him go into one of his shameful rages. When she found that he was oftener out of a Job than in one, and that they had not the money to pay their bills, she went to work rather than be dependent on her relatives for hejp. And when husband discovered that she could support the family, he stepped aside and let her do it. "Now my friend has one child a son, who, under the same method of treatment ah had applied to hip fa ther, grew up to be as no account and disagreeable as his slacker fa ther. "This precious youth got marrlsd a couple of year ago, but he didn't pick out a woman like his mother. He married a little red headed girl witlk snapping pale blue eyes, who had worked her way up from cash girl to head saleslady in a department of a big store, and she wasn't overbur dened with refinement of delicate sen sibilities, or any morbid fear of hurt ing anyone's finer feelings. And she had a temper like a train of fi re works. "The first time her pampered hus band got peeved about something, in stead of soothing him down about it, aa his mother would hav done, and apologizing all over the place and tell ing him it should haver happen again, she flew into a rag that made hi little ebulltlon of temper seem like the sputtering of a caudle besi'.'e a vol cano. She raved and brok up things, and made a rough house that scared him into good behavior Why, he is so sfrald of rllin her and getting hr started that he's as meek as Moses he who never even tried to control his temper before. "And she has made him work. She resigned her Job when she got married, and told him frankly her candid opinion of a man who didn't support his family. Also she informed him that she wasn't the kind of fool that mother was, and that she didn't pro pose to support any able bodied loafer, as his mother had done. "And when he threw up his situa tion, ss he had ben in the habit of doing when some little thing went wrong in th office, she promptly packed her trunk and went to her mother's and told him that he needn't follow, and she wouldn't come back until he waa able to take care of ber. "And she isn't any model of economy, either. She tells him that he has to hav things and he has got to get them for her, and he does. And because this necessity of making money is driving him all the time hei has bent his back to his work and is, making good. "And this woman who is selfish and greedy, and shrewish is making a fin successful man out of her husband, whereas his mother, who was gentle, and fine and noble, ruined her hus band. All of which shows how hsrd it is to tell when you are really being a good wife and doing your duty by your husband. -23aj (Copyright. 1919, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

Phone 3203 Refusal of the federal railroad ad ministration to permit the use of coal cars for other than the hauling of coal threatens to tie up all highway con struction and city paving work in Kansas this fall and winter. W. M. Watson, state highway engineer, has been sent to Washington by Governor Allen in an effort to secure an order which will relieve the threatened em bargo on materials. For several weeks complaints have been coming to TopeHa from numer ous towns and counties which have been unable to' secure brick, cement and othT materials promptly. Many towns which are completing the sum mer paving contracts are held up thru the failure of railroads to move sup plies as rapidly as needed. Eldorado, Kureka, Wlnfield ana other towns in southern Kansas have complained of the failure of the railroads to move paving materials. A number of con tractors who are engaged in highway construction unde the federal aid act have also met with trouble. Coal Shipments Weak. In spite of the apparent determina tion of the railroad administration not to release coal cars for other than the hauling of coal, reports at the state house today were to the effect that the shipments of coal to Kansas points are below normal. Should a serious coal shortage confront the state, road builders and paving men fear that materials may be held up until the demand for fuel is relieved. Following a conference in Kansas Pity Monday, Knglneer Watson left for Washington to attend a conference of road men and representatives of the railroad administration. Watson will ask for a preferential order af fecting the movement of brick, ce ment, chat, sand and other necessary materials. FISHING AT THE PARKS Season of Open Angling Begins in Topeka Wednesday.

Nearly every dining hall on the grounds is filled and patrons stand in lines waiting for a chance to be served. The quick lunch stands are doing an equally big business from I those Fair goers who are too impa tient to wait lor tne fuller meals served in the big tents. This situation has been peculiar of the last two years, too. according to I statements made today by old time I concession men. It Is just the last two year that the Kansas Free Fair has been giving night shows worthy of the name.

Hocknoll declared today that his father, Thomas Hocknoll of Detroit, had put up $3,000 for his defense, but latey-advised him to admit his guilt. "When the father became acquainted with the facts of the case, Hocknoll declared, "he advised me to tell every thing and save staining my wife's rep utation. I am glad I have done so for I feel better." It became known to day that Hocknoll's confession started almost a week ago and came In piece meal fashion until completed Sunday morning. William Voeth, husband of the slain woman, in a statement today, denied Hocknoll's explanation of the motive for the crime. Mrs. Voeth he said, did not follow Hocknoll to Kalamazoo because of an infatuation for him, but did so in an effort to rerrover certain valuables which Hocknoll claims she gave him. SHE SUES JE MONROE Marie Oleson of Chicago Claims Right to Mexico MiliernI Lands. Lee Monroe, a wealthy Topeka at torney, today was made defendant in a suit filed by Marie Oleson of Chi cago, in the Shawnee county district court, In which Mrs. Oleson claims that she is th rightful possessor of rich mineral land in Mexico. Monroe Is sued as executor of the estate of Lucy L. Smith, which It is claimed is now deriving a big Income from the Mexico holdings. The story, as outlined In the peti tion, brings in the murder of an Amer ican in Mexico, an alleged fictitious will and the present dangerous and unsettled condieions in that country which keeps attorneys from visiting the land and ascertaining its true value. Mrs. Oleson's mftther. Mrs. Kate E. Doering, married Frank L. Rice, th1 petition recites, and they moved to Coalcoman, Mexico, where they ac quired much property. Rice was murdered in Mexico In March, 1913. the petition recites, and that same year F. A. Smith, a stepfather of Frank Rice, became administrator of the estate. Mrs. Oleson claims In her petition that Smith was appointed administra tor of the estate on the strength of a will made out by Rice under the name of Frank Horace. The will, she claims. Is "pretended" and is null and void under the laws of the republic of Mexico. Mrs. Rice died in 1918 and Mrs. Oleson claims she is the sole heir of the estate. However, she claims that Mrs. Lucy Smith of Pottawatomie county is getting the income from the estate. Mrs. Oleson demands that the court make her the sole beneficiary of her mother's estate.

In connection with the foregoing statement made by Jack Iemp sey. I r. James I rum-is Sullivan, formerly pbvsician of Hellevue Hop pltnl (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Weatchester County Hos pltal. aald "The methods of training adopted by Willard and Ieinpsey may have had a great deal to do with tbe outcome of thla fight. According to reports Pemp sey placed himself unreservedly In the hands of expert trainers and competent physlcinns and needed their advice. In my opinion who ever mode the anirgestton that Nux ated Iron ahould play n part In getting Iempsey into condition is to be com mended" for his foresight. No man with out plenty of rich, red blood filled with hea Itn-giving inl BTrengTii-nunmng iron could withstand the terrific onslaughts of a giant like Willard. It ahould occur to ererv thinking person that if a man as phval'-nllv fit as Oempsey abnnld consider ft 'advisable to take Nuxated Iron, how much more Important It Is for the average man or woman to see that there Is no lack f Iron In the blood. There is tortay a surprising number of persons who suffpr from Iron deficiency.

President Wires Marshall To Welcome General at Capital. New Tork, Sept. 9. Gen. John J. Pershing eacaped a resumption today of the tumultuous welcome that greeted him on his arrival from France yesterday by remaining in his hotel apartment until time to review a small army of 2,000 Boy Scouts In Central park this afternoon. The Scouts were assigned to act as the general's escort in the park where fif ty thousand school children were gath ered to sing patriotic songs and hear him speak. Tonight at 8 o'clock General Persh ing will be the guest at a reception tendered him by the Elks. He is a member of the El Paso lodge and a large delegation of Elks from that city and other lodges are here in his honor. Iad Slx-Foot Soldiers. General Pershing will lead the pa rade of the First division tomorrow mounted on his favorite sorrel horse "Kldrow." The big animal which at tracted attention in the parades in which he participated in Paris and London was brought back from France on September 1, on the trans port Kentuckian. The picked regiment of six-foot sol diers who aroused the admiration of French and English were rushed from the Leviathan to Camp Merritt yester day tn prepare for their parade ap pearance. Routed by Kiss Attack. At the city hall Monday General Pershing met the severest test of his Spartan composure. As he mounted the steps of the building, a vision of young beauty elbowed past the police lines, put herself in the general's way, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him a smacking kiss on the left cheek. The attack was so sudden, so unex pected that Pershing had no chance to sidestep this Informal salute, but a moment later, when another "peach" tried the same greeting he stepped back gesticulating. "No, no, madam; not that." he ex claimed, and saved himself. Marshall To Grtvt Him. On Board President Wilson" s Spe cial Train en Route to St. Paul, Sept. 9. When General Pershing returns to Washington, on September 16. he will be officially received by Vice President Marshall, acting for President Wilson. From the special train on which he is touring the west, the president has telegraphed Mr. Marshall expressing regret that he would be absent when General Pershing arrives and asking that the vice president extend the na tion's welcome. The ceremony will include a review of the First division. PERSHING TO BE BANKER? A. E. F. Comma ntler Will Settle in Chicago. Friends Say. Chicago, Sept. 9.

If old, the building up of the heels or resoling, may make them comfortable again. Making feet comfortable is as much a part of our business as repairing shoes. We do both. No jse having uncomfortable feet when you can so easily reach Ray's Rapid Shoe Repair System 714 Kansas Avenue ON SECOND THOUGHT BY J. E. HOUSE. (From Philadelphia Public Ldger) Having had an experience not en tirely dissimilar, we know why Mayor Ole Hanson resigned. Mayor Ole got tired listening to the fellow who "voted and worked" for him. That, in the course of time, becomes the most negligible adventure in the cate gory of experience. "All we are working for," declares Ethel Barrymore, who is as a lamp to the wandering feet of the striking actors, "is democracy in the theater, justice, equity and truth." We have observed the progress of democracy. Justice, equity and truth for a good many years. Miss Ethel may take it from us that there remains a consid erable distance to be traversed. Meanwhile, we wish to assure the so to speak poor actor that he has the sympathy of the column. The navigator who tried to drive his ship safely between Scylla and the other place, the one we've forgotten how to spell, had nothing on him. If he keeps on striking he may starve to death. If he weakens the stage hands will get him. Mr. Herbert Hoover -continues to compel our admination. Mr. Hoover not only tells them where to "head in," but actually gets by with it. Those who threaten to hurl the barbed word at the psychological moment are nu merous enough: but those who do it occur infrequently. What we desire to ask. as the in terest begins to drag, what became of the old-fashioned hailstone that was as large as a hen's egg? A correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor having traced the "Jazz" to its genesis, we vouchsafe the opinion that the trip was not of suffi cient interest to repay him for his trouble. In one particular, however, Mr. Debs achieved a record. He prospected the forty-eight-inch vein of trouble con tinuously from 1893 to 1918. He was twenty-five years getting blown up in his own dynamite factory. Carl Ackerman, we note incidental ly, finally has been accorded zero in hospitality. He mentions a dinner at which beer was served in teacups. Since its authorship has become a matter of controversy, we venture the thought that Hall Caine may have written "Young Visitors." The vol ume certainly reflects Mr. Caine's keen sense of humor and his cheery", opti mistic outlook on life. Mr. Caine, one may add, is the gift ed writing man who not only fears the worst, but is at some pains to bring it about. Having read its details in somewhat hasty fashion. Senator Cummins's strikes us as the least radical of the plans to take the railroads away from their owners and give them to some body else. John McCormack Is greatly im pressed with the debt a man owes his father and mother, and so expresses himself in "His Own IJfe Story," which is. at the moment, falling hot from the press. Still, it is an obliga tion the debtor had no hand in con tracting. TO END LONG TIEUP Carpenters in Chicago To Get 92 4 Cvnts Under Proposed Agreement. Chicago, Sept. 9. A conference to day between a delegation of building material men and representatives of the carpenters union, was expected to bring about a settlement In the build ing trades tie up which has held at a standstill for ten weeks $125,000,000 worth of building In and around Chi cago. The agreement under which the men were to return to work was un derstood to be on the basis of a Xtk cent increase, which would mean 92 H cents an hour for the carpenters. gl-k c& BIG AUTO DISPLAY Motor Hall at Fair Filled With Good Exhibits. More Than 25 Pleasure Car Makes on Grounds. TRACTORS BUSY ON GROUNDS Eleven Makes Put On Their Daily Demonstrations. Advance of Motor Cars Is Indi cated Yearly. Work and pleasure are fighting their annual battle in machinery field at the big free fair this week. Trucks and tractors of the forces of work are engaged in a hot contest with the shiny roadsters and touring cars and limousines of the army of pleasure. It is a "nice" war, tho. and conduct- j ed in a spirit of commercial enterprise. They are all good cars, so the sales- 1 men say. "but this particular one is i best." according to which salesman j one talks to. In the tractor field the j rival salesmen are on equally good terms. There is no bickering back and j forth and visitors are shown every f courtesy in some instances even be- ing referred to the exhibits of other firms. The display In motor hall is one of the finest in years. Twenty-five j classes or pleasure vehicles are on ex hibit there, representing the goods of no less than twnty-one local motor agencies. Four big motor trucks are housed in motor hall, their propor tions making a striking contrast to the slim lines and beautiful shapes of the pleasure vehicles. One of the striking exhibits In mo tor hall Is the big Goodyear Cord truck tire. It is a monster and the size marked on its huge side is 42 Inches by 9 inches. The tire of the ordinary automobile looks like a lady's finger ring beside this immense cushion for the smoothing the path of the vehicles of work. This is the kind of tire which Is used by the big passenger carrying busses in the mountain re gions of the west. Tractors In Demonstration. Out in machinery field proper, housed in tents and all of them giving a perpetual demonstration are the tractors. These machines, ranging from the pigmy type with caterpillar tread to the big oil burning ones which look like they could pull alongside a railroad locomotive, are the ones which are drawing the interest of the farmers. With the wheat crop all in and sold at a goodly price the farm ers of the state are beginning to look about for means and methods of mak ing farm work easier, quicker and more efficient. First among the imv provements to be made on the old homestead Is the purchasing of a trac tor. It is a machine which can saw the wood, plow the fields, drag the cultivators, pull the harvesting ma chines and do any one of a hundred useful things to lighten the farmer's load. Among the tractors represented in machinery field are the Avery, the Rumely, the Cletrac, the Indiana, the Sampson, sold by the Cowdrey Motor company of Topeka; the Moline, sold by Raemer Brothers of Topeka; the White, sold by the Road Supply Metal company of Topeka; and the Heider, sold by H. Brittenstein of North Topeka. Others showing in the field are the International Harvester, sold by Seery-Morton company of To peka; the famous Fordson, sold by the Trefry Motor company, and the Lib erty. The showings of cars In motor hall are: Oakland and Hudson by J. R. Johnson Overland by the Overland Weirenga company Cadillac and Buick by Wood Motors company; Fords by Trefry Motor company; Xash by Neale Motors company: Liberty by the Liberty company of Kansas; In ternational truck and Brlsco cars by E.

A man stepped Into the war depart j ment the other day and said to a man I sitting at the desk: "Can you tell me I why our boys won the war so easy? The Germans with their millions of well tried men," continued the visitor, j "with seventy-two miles guns, thou sands of rapid fire machines, "Our boys were there with the goods," the man at the desk looked up and said.

The Stomach is Quick to Upset When School Children Are Idle VACATION days are days of over-eating nd under-exercising For most boys and girls. They loll around nibbling at light food, unconcerned whether the fruit is green or ripe. The remit is cramps, skin eruptions, pimples "summer colds," constipation and diarrhea. The basis of such trouble is an upset stomach, and nothing will give saier and quicker relief than the well known Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is juit a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, a formula evolved some 30 years ago by Dr. Caldwell himself. Syrup Pepsin is now used by millions of people and is today the largest-selling liquid laxative in the world. It is the mildest and gentlest of laxa tives. It regulates the stomach and bowels so well that they can soon work normally again without the aid of medi cine. And unlike the harsher physics and cathartics. Syrup Pepsin does not gripe or cause discomfort, even to a tiny baby. A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be bought at any drug store for 50c and $1, the latter the family size. A free trial bottle can be had by sending your address to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 480 Washington St., MonliceUo. 111.

The fraternity houses at Washburn college are typical of the atmosphere i out In tho college district these- days, j Last evening it was almost impossible to pass one of them because of the i many trucks and vans lined up before j the door. There were trunks on the porch, trunks in the hall and every- thing imaginable scattered every I where. At another Greek letter house law and order had apparently been established and the house was all lighted. The porch was full of boys smoking you have it. it was a smoker Some had wandered to the steps and were engaged in absorbing conversa tion; othors were sitting carelessly on the table or lounging In the deep davenport.

The people who heard him speak at the Chamber of: Commerce at noon and in the after noon at the Fair considered themselves fortunate and were delighted at the great American's son. But the really privileged few were those men who dined with the colonel last evening at the Topeka club. If he was human and Just folks when he was speaking he was indeed one of them at the din ner. Those for whom covers were laid at this dinner were: Lieutenant Col onel Roosevelt. Lieut. Com. Chester P. Wolfe, Indianapolis; Gen. Charles I, Martin. Gen. Wilder S.

The Association of Collegiate Alum nae Is necessarily a limited organiza tion. A very small per cent of the women of a city have pursued a col lege course, at any rate to the end where Is found the bachelor of arts or science degree. Hence, altho the as sociation is smaller than more popu lar organizations. It boasts a good membership for a city the size of To peka. The summer meetings have been better attended than the sum mer meetings of most clubs are.

Wash-Day drudgery has gone never to return in many, many families. No more Sunday dread of Monday's work No more rising early to put on an old dress and worn out shoes No more rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, over a hard ribbed wash board No more standing over a blistering fire on a hot Summer day and stirring clothes into a boiler No more cracked red hands no more aching backs no more "scrap" lunches or cold dinners No more wiping off of dripping hands to welcome a friendly neighbor The "Apex" Electric Washer has come like a bit of heaven to STAY! How wonderful It would be to have such a wash day in YOUR home! How wonderful to have ENOUGH clean clothes without the drudgerj' of washing them To have your clothes wear much longer, since they would not be- worn and torn in a wash board To have the work done in a third to a half the time To have the washing going on while you are doing the breakfast dishes To have hours for the pleasurable duties of the home To have all this done by an Electric Washer that costs but a few cents a week for the power It takes. And costs but a few dollars to put one In your home. As little as $5.00 puts an "Apex" in your home On such terms is there any reason in the world why ANY woman should go through the drudgery of wash day? Is there any reason why she shouldn't be free from it for the rest of her life? Come in tomorrow and see how easily and perfectly and economically an "Apex" Electric Washer will do YOUR washing. Let us demonstrate to you the many, many points of superiority of the "Apex" Electric Washer.

Building Full of Most Interest ing War Material. ACTUAL TORPEDO IS SHOWN it Remained on Bottom of Ocean for 3 Months. Pick of Army Photographs Se lected by Federal Officials. There is no more interesting place at the Kansas Free Iair grounds than the government exhibit building. It is absolutely full of agricultural and horticultural displays and exhibits of all kirds with thousands of photo graphs and data collected by govern ment experts. However, the displays that will draw the biggest crowds dur ing the week are those of the army, navy and marines. The war exhibits came to Topeka dl- Former home of Governor Osborn at 909 Quincy street. Tnroka. Kansas, to he sold at the east front door of the Shawnee Court House at 2 p, m. September 10, 1919, by the sheriff to satisfy a mortgage. This property was one of the most beautiful and costly homes in Topeka at the time it was built Noth ing but the best material entering its construction. Next to it on the south and in the same block are lh" beautiful Los Angeles apartments, and the homes of Mr. Philip I. Murphy and former mayor Wm. Green. Across the street on the north is the large Central Y. 11 C. A. building. Abutting the property on the alley Just to the west is the fine Gordon building now oc cupied by the Karlan Furniture Co. It is within one block of K-insas Ave., one block from the Felletier tore, the largest store building in the ritv.

The Kansas Reserve Investment Co. Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use Is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The ha r dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy.

Fred erit:K H. Koerbel is In command with Uoatswain's Mate H. H. Warnock in charge of the navy displays and Ser geant Kelley in charge of the marine stuff. All kinds of war trophies, guns, American and allied army equipment are si own, but perhaps the most in teresting of the whole outfit is a se ries of thirty-two pictures. A short time before the exhibit was made up the army officials-at Washington went thru the thousands of pictures that were taken in France for the war de partment and made a collection of 150 of the best. From this 160 the best thirty-two were chosen to be sent to Topeka. Actual Torpedo Shown. An actual torpedo that was fired and that remained on the bottom of the ocean for three months is shown, as are all of the guns, including the sawed off shotguns Introduced by Pershing and the different types of machine guns. There are also one of tho latest anti-aircraft and anti-submarine guns and the odd loking Y gun which practically put the German subs out of business. In one corner of the building there is a complete signal station equipped with telephone exchange, guns and instruments of all kinds. And in an other corner of the building In glass cases are two model ships that most any lad in Kansas would give his right inn 10 possess, one is a perfect model or the u. b S. Connecticut. It has a steei null and is so completely made that even the signal apparatus works like that of a big ship. This model is said to have cost more than J10.000. The other model Is that of the United States scout cruiser Salem. The Kansas Free Fair is the only place in Kansas that this government exhibit will be shown. Next week it will be sent to Oklahoma City and will go to Dallas and Little Rock. Ark., before being sent back to Washington. DENIES TRENCH RENT French People Didn't Charge Tanks for Ground at Front. Paris, Sept. 9. Col. Blanton Win ship, judge advocate genera! and also head of the requisitions and claims de partment of the American expedition ary forces, finally disposed of the old story that the French people claimed rentals for the ground occupied by the trenches at the front in his testimony before the committee of the American congress which is investigating war ex penditures. He testified that no such claim had ever been made against the American expeditionary forces and that the only claim of this nature was for the use of ground in the training area which was cut up and damaged in order to familiarize the men with conditions at the front. His department. Colonel Winship said, has thus far disposed of forty thousand claims, which have been set tled on about the same basis as claims against the French government. These claims include about 36,000,000 francs in rentals for property occupied as hospitals and headquarters and 50, 000,000 francs for the billeting of sol diers and animals. Damages have also been paid, he asserted, in about 150 cases in which Franch people were killed by American expeditionary force motor cars.

IT IS A HARD LIFE And the Grandstand Scots Are Hard, but Cushions Are Harder To Sell. 2-B The Theo. Poohlcr Merc. Co., "utnbutort i 1 i r.h A, KA.N siiiiijiitmiiiiii It takes a slick guy to sell cushions to a Eun-kissed son of the Sunflower state when he comes a-visitin' to the big Kansas Free Fair. Two Colum bus, Ohio, cushion kings found this out Monday night. The venders of hard Toard softeners were working in front of the main entrance to the grandstand. Business j naa oeen good but the grandstand ao anu u iuii anu me lew stragglers hesitated about buying cushions when they were not sure they could find a place to "cushion." But the cushion men did not quit trying. Rather, they redoubled their efforts and resorted to new tricks. One of them, when he saw a "feller comin' along with his best gal" fol lowed. The fair visitors surveyed the grandstand, could not find a seat and started to walk cut. Here, 1 11 get you a seat," the cushion salesman called to them. They turned around and he led them to one of the best places in the grand stand, induced the persons on the row to move over and squeezed the young couple into seats. "Now that I got you a seat you and your girl ought to have nice soft j cushions to- sit down on." he said, of- I fering two cushions to the young man. "Are they free?" the young man asked. "Xo, sir. 10 cents apiece," the cush ion vrnder said. "Well, I guess we'll Just sit on the seats as they are," the young man said as he and his girl settled themselves. The cushion vender was so peeved I that when he got back to his post he told his pal. Huh. you ain't got nothln" on me'" his pal exclaimed. "A great big double-jinted guy come in with a skirt i hangln' on his arm while you was up there a-usherin' and look around like he was lost and like he didn't know what to do with the pasteboards he i held In his mit.
