The new theater will be four stories in height, will be quipped with the latest accommoda tions for stage and screen and when completed will be one of the finest houses in the west. On of the features of the house will bo an amusement during the In termissions. Hooper refuses to an nounce this Innovation today. "I am Coin? to keep it as a surprise to To peka," he said. He promises that there will not be a dull moment from tho time the show opens until "Good night." G. lu Hooper. The new Hooper theater will be built to care for high class road show3 as well as moving pictures. The stage will be large enougji to handle any traveling production. "From past experience." Hooper raid today, l nave aectaea mat me people of Topeka want a first-class, up-to-date, clean show house. The plans for this building are practically completed, and after viewing some of tho leading theaters thruout the coun try and comparing them with the pro posed building. I am satisfied that the people of Topeka will be thoroly sat isfied." To Be Four Stories High. The building will be four stories high and the upper floors will contain eighteen to twenty office suites. These will be strictly modern, and will be equipped thruout with the latest mod ern equipment. There will be a heat ing, coolina and ventilating system In stalled, and all necessary fixtures will be provided for. There will be eleva tor and stair service. The architect. M. J. Green, of St. Joseph, and Mr. Hooper have made careful selections, for the interior dec orations. There are also features en tirely new, and those who have seen the plans, among whom are some of the leading promoters of the east, say that this building will surpass any thing in the line of theaters up to the present time. Amusement During Intermissions. Among some of the new features In this house will be a curtain, the de-' tails of which Mr. Hooper desires to withhold, as it is to be a wonderful surprise. It is an entirely new Idea and will furnish a source of amuse ment during Intermissions. The archi tect has completed plana of this cur tain and friends who have seen them are satisfied that there will be no dis content or weariness during intermis sions. An Aurora Borcalls. One of the other new features will be a lighting system, with which it is possible to make an actual reproduc tion of an aurora borealis. This ef fect will be by and thru a series of re flections; this series will constitute a horizon, and by these arrangements will reproduce an actual sunset, fol lowing an early dawn and aurora borealis. These reflections will be carried on as the program proceeds. There will also be a series of chan deliers, the sizes ranging from 10x14 feet to 12x18 feet. This lighting ef fect Is entirely new; a model has been built and experiments have been car ried out. guaranteeing success. Pro moters who have seen these lighting effects state that the system is entirely new, novel and complete. There will be no light bulbs visible, so that while the performance is going on there will be a soft twilight, following sunset. This will not affect the pictures on the screen or other performance. Hooper's Own Cooling System. Among other new features is the cooling system which will be installed in this building, not only in the audi- t,,mH. K,t llriin:it K i house. It is an entirely new Inven tion, the patent rights for both the lighting and cooling system being exclusively controlled by M. J. Green and G. L. Hooper. There have been various difficul ties encountered in Installing cooling systems, arising from moisture and disturbed circulation of pure air. This cooling system overcomes these diffi culties. as the principle Is based on na ICoutioueu on Page Two.) fir WOULD SMASH OBREGON BQOM Reported His Home State Un der Martial Law. Mexican General May Xow Start Jiew Revolt. Washington, Jan. 14. Mexican fed eral troops are being rushed to the state of Sonora to "suppress the pop ularity of General Alvaro Obregon, candidate for the presidency,'' accord ing to unofficial advices from the bor der received here today. Obregon is a candidate. in opposition to Carranza's party. The message said Carranza was about to put the state under martial ir.w that he had ordered several battalions of troops to the scene and that his forces were report ed already disembarking at Guaymas on the Gulf of California. 'State of lawlessness." Carranza, in sending troops, de clared that "a state of lawlessness" existed in Sonora, according to the dispatch. Sonora, which is Obregon's home state, borders on Arizona and the Gulf of California. Sentiment in favor of Obregon has been on the increase there for some time, advices said. The state troops suspected by the federal government of being too favorable to Obregon, will probably be disbanded, according to the dispatch and Gov. Be La Huerta, who supports Obregon for he presidency, "will be supplanted by General Pesquiera, a -member of Car ranza's party. There have been repeated rumors recently that Obregon was planning a revolt against Carranza, if it became apparent that the latter would not give him a fair chance to be elected presi dent.

A state of siege has been proclaimed thruout Germany with the exception of Wurtemburg. Saxony and Bavaria as a result of widespread riots. The proclamation was issued by President Ebert late 'yesterday. Scores have been killed In riots In Berlin and more than 100 men and women wounded. Many persons were killed and wounded in a melee between mem bers of a mob and police guards in front of the reichstag building here yesterday afternoon. The mob, organ ized by extremists as a protest against the industrial council's bill now be fore the reichstag, began to gather in the morning. By noon every street leading to the Tiergarten, was crowded with masses of people carrying red flags and pla cards. Anticipating a demonstration before the reichstag building, the au thorities had surrounded the building with public security guards and ma chine gunners who barred approach to the edifice. As time passed the crowd was joined by strrklng tram em ployes and soon inflammatory speeches were begun by agitators. Charged Machine Gunners. Attempts were made by the guards to .quietly -disperse the mob, but it was heedless of warning. At last, the mob, regardless of the machine gun ners and other defenders of the build ing made a rush against the police lines, trying to disarm the guards and disable the machine guns. When it was seen the mob could not be check ed in any other way, fire was opened. The shooting was at close range and the front of the building was littered with 2ead .and wounded. The enost severe casualties were inflicted on the crowd which approached from the Simonstrasse side of the structure. Order was soon restored. The reichstag continued Its sitting until 5 o'clock, at which time it was announced ten bodies of persons killed in the fight had been brought into the court of the building. Rifle and machine gun fire was opened on the mob at 3:40 o'clock and lasted five minutes. It was most se vere around the west portal of the building. Later the correspondent of the Associated Press counted at least twenty men lying in the outskirts of the Tiergarten apparently wounded.

Sickness Continues to Spread Jfo Deaths Reported. An extensive investigation to deter mine the conditions responsible for the epidemic of "winter cholera" that has Topeka in its grip was instituted by the state board of health this morn ing. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary, an nounced today. Specialists have been called in from Kansas University, to help the state and city authorities in conducting, the investigation, which will be general and intensive. Prof; N. P. Sherwood, K. U. bacteriologist, arrived i today to co-operate with Dr. S. E. Greenfield, bacteriologist, of the state board of health, -and. Dr. Earle G. Brown, city health officer, in examining fhe persons afflicted, with the disease, and the city water supply and food commodities that might -toe responsible for the spread of the di- Prof. C. A. Easkins, chief engineer of the state board of health, also was expected in Topeka this morning, and he and Doctor Crumbine will make a thoro examination of the wells at the city water plant to see if ahy source of contamination there has been over looked. Slight Water Contamination Miss Annetta Nicoll, city bacteri ologist, announced today that a slight contamination had been discovered in two of the ten tubes of city water that are being tested by her department. The contamination, which indicates sewage seepage, is very small, how ever. Miss Nicoll declared, and not sufficient to cause an epidsmlc. Dr. Edith Twisa, Washburn college bacter iologist, who is making tests in con nection with the "winter cholera" spread, reported that she had made no discoveries of importance yet. Meanwhile the disease, which the doctors, are as yet unable to name ex cept by the hazy title, "winter chol era," continues to spread, but has not reached serious proportions. There have been no deaths reported, accord ing to the authorities. Outbreak In Lawrence. Doctor Bherwbod said a similar out break occurred in Lawrence this week, only In a much milder (form. Ten cases were reported at a fraternity house. He was not ready today to advance any theory even on what might be responsible for epidemic here. "When asked if he thought the disease communicable, he also replied that he had not been able to make a sufficient investigation yet to say whether t was. He gave it as his opinion that it would require some time to trace the cause, and that it might never be determined. Doctor Sherwood was to go out with- Miss Nicoll this afternoon to make an ex amination of persons afflicted with the disease. He will take- the specimens he obtains back to Lawrence with him for a test in the university laboratories. One leading medical officer express ed it as his opinion today that one of two things were responsible for the epidemic One, he thought, was the influenza germ, the other the typhoid germ. "If it were the latter, the city water would be the most likely cause of the sickness, but the water so far has tested nearly free from contaml iCnntinnert on nalre six.

Means Additional Fay to 2,000 In Topeka. Washington, Jan. 14. Director Gen eral Hines has signed a national agree ment covering rules and working con ditions with the brotherhood of rail way and steamship clerks, freight handlers and express and station em ployes. The agrement. is was an nounced today, is retroactive to Janu ary 1, and will continue in force dur ing the period of federal control. The agreement provides for time and a half for overtime after eight hours, applying to all employes except certain workers whose employment Is light or intermittent, and for dne day's rest each week except where opera tion of the individual railroads would be affected. -.-Brotherhood officials -requested a national agreement last summer and the subject has been, under- consider ation since that time, first by tho re gional directors and later by the board of railroad wages and working condi tions. The agreement signed by Hines af fects about 2,000 railway workers in Topeka, M. A. Moore, head of the Railway Clerks' union heVe, said this afternoon. Of that number about 1,800 are clerks. Prior to the new arrangement the clerks received straight overtime for the ninth and tenth hour, and time and a half overtime toT all in addi tion to ten. hours' work and for night work where the employe was called back after supper, Moore said.

I LABOR NEAR FRIENDLY NOW, i On Other Hand Capital Is Show ing Dissatisfaction. Report of Final Draft Is To Be t Made Tomorrow. The industrial court bill will -be re ported out of the judiciary committee tomorrow. Sen. Francis C. Price. chairman of that committee, an-: nounced today. J "There will be several changes," said Price, "none 'of which, however, will anyway mark any drastic altera tion from the original measure. S "I believe I can say safely that while otganizea labor at first, offered the most strenuous objections to this measure, a more friendly attitude to-. ward the bill from organized labor unions is apparent at this time. j "With organized labor withdrawing its first frantic opposition to the bill, I an opposition as bitter and strong is growing in the ranks of capitalists and employers who at first saw only a curb on undemocratic strikes and failed to note that the measure places a bit with equal strength on unscrupulous employers." Unincorporated Union Rights. Probably the most pronounced al teration in the original bill injected by the Judiciary committee is permit ting the right of collective bargaining to unincorporated labor bodies. Price asserted. Under the new draft of the bill unincorporated labor unions may enter into collective bargaining agree- ments upon the appointment by elec tive officers of an officer or member of the union who shall be named as a trustee of the union. Another important change, an nounced by Senator Price, is a strengthening of the penalty clause for officers of unions and- employens; leaders in any attempt to tie. up neces sary industries. "We intend to make a-' wMe' differ ence between the officers who lead in any such movement and the littl fel lows who are more or less under on- ligations to follow- them," -said Senator Price. The growing bspositiori of employ ers to the bill mentioned by- Senator Price was apparent late Tuesday aft ernoon following the bearing of labor before the committee. Then, the em ployers from Wichita and other cities in the state were given an audience. Tom Naftzser, of Wichita,- repre senting the mining interests; John Campbell, of Pittsburg, representing mining interests, and L. C. Moses, of Kansas City, representing "big busi ness" were among representatives of employers who Were given an audi ence before the committee. Work on Pinal Draft, Today, the committee met with no one and spent the entire day in pre paring a final draft of the measure as it is to be presented to the senate tomorrow. As announced a week ago, the "check off" system of unions in collecting dues, assessments and. fines against members of the unions will be done away with by the passage of the bill. Urtder the present system of in dustrial practices, especially in the coal fields, the union's claim against a member is In effect a first Hen against his wages. The secretary of the union turns to the employer the amount due the union, and. it is deducted from his pay check. NAME E. F. STRAIN Rock Island Agent Elected President Chamber of Commerce. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce today elected Elmer F. Strain, division freight agent of the Rock Island railway, as president. Strain has announced-that he did not have the time, altho he had not, up While there can be no doubt a resignation. Whele there can be no doubt that Topeka needs the service of its big, successful men, almost every di rector announced before the ballot that he was not In a position to as sume the burden, and indicated an overwhelming desire to dodge the issue. Strain's election made a vacancy In the office of second vice president. Ballots taken elected F. O. Morns, of North Topeka, as second vice presi dent. As Mr. Morns was not present to resign, if he should do so. the of-1 flee is assured for at least twenty-four hours. ARMOURS ARE CITED Federal Trade Commission Charges Unfair Methods in Competition. Washington, Jan. 14. Despite set tlement by the department of Justice of pending anti-trust proceedings, the federal trade commission today cited Armour Company in a formal com plaint alleging unfair methods of com- petition in violation of the federal trade commission act and the acquisi tion of control of competing concerns In violation of the Clayton act. PUT BAN ON DEMPSEY Xevr Jersey Commission Disgusted With Champ's War Record. Trenton, N. J., Jan. .14. Jack Dempsey will not be permitted to f igbt Georges Carpentier or engage in any other exhibition in New Jersey, ac cording (0- a statement issaed by John S. Smith, president of the New Jersey boxing commission. The action was taken because of the war record of Dempsey, who was referred to a "a labor scout for a shipyard." Only Two Including Amos of Shawnee in Opposition. LABOR LOBBY IS DISAPPOINTED Lack of Anti-Sentiment Comes as Blow to Union Leaders. Amendment Offered Cutting Salary From $5,000 to $4,000. Overwhelming support for the In dustrial court bill on final passage was insured in the house today when a test vote on the Lambertson motion to strike out the enacting clause secured but two votes as against S nays. Amos of Shawnee and Kline of Trego, both Republicans, voted to kill the bill. Attempts to make drastic changes in provisions of Section later failed regularly and mustered only faint, scattered and disorganized sup port for amendments. SlV., I 0l A, f 'i-uvi LEI.',, a muuon was made Tuesday in order to open gen eral discussion of the bill. It was not offered .with a view of attacking the measure. Lambertson today voted against, the motion io strike out the enacting clause. Altho the labor court bill has been before the house an entire week, no definite action was taken until today's hearings The first evidence of a test came on the Lambertson motion. The result was clearly an Intense disap pointment to the labor lobby, altho several of its members asserted that opponents of the bill voted against the motion that they might inject amend ments in the various sections. Ths landslide in support of the bill in its present form, tho, -assured Its ultimate passage with votes to spare. A mere constitutional majority is sufficient to pass the bill on third reading. Falter on Salary, Amendments' by Graves of Craw ford. Scott of Rooks. Connolly of Bourbon and Brooks of Chautauqua failed. Only the Brooks amendment providing for a $4,000 salary instead ol ii.OU -i year for court Judges, se cured more than a faint murmur of assent.-".; Graves of Crawford wanted a court of arbitration. He proposed in an amendment that the chief justice ofi the supreme court be ex-officio pre siding Judge of the court and that an associate representing labor and on representing the employer be named. He provided that the associates serve merely on the individual case for which their appointment was made. Probably a haif dozen "ayes" respond- House members made short work of a rriotlen by Scott of. Rooks to provide for a court of five judges instead of three. Willing to Trust Allen. Then Connolly proposed that the power of appointment be taken from, the governor and placed with the pee pul. "I am willing to trust the pres ent governor." said Connolly, a Demo crat, "but we don't know who will be governor two years from now." But Connolly received little encour agement. The referendum and direct election plan didn't appeal to house members and they promptly voted it down. Brooks, tho. secured the support of a large number of legislators who are or expect to he candidates for Office next year when he proposed a reduc tion in the salary schedule. Ho want ed the scale reduced from $5,000 a year to $4,000 a year. A roll call was demanded. The motion received $2 votes while 8 were cast-agalnst it. Vote cn the motion to strike out ths enacting clause came unexpectedly to day and many house members were not present when the roll was called. Amos, the first man on the roll call, voted for the motion. But the Trego county member was his only com forter. Both Shldeler and Graves of Crawford county, as well as other members from southeastern Kansas, voted aga-nst the motion. Seven Killed In Belgian Storm. Brussels, Jen. 14. Seven persons are reported dead and many Injured as a result of the storm which las been prevailing over Belgium for th last 48 hours. Numerous factories have been obliged to close and much damage has been done by high water. Union Hammers Halt Speeches on Industrial Bill Immediately after they had virtual lv injmsed naan&ffe of ths labor court I bill, the house today sent Representa tive McDougall, state house custodian, to the roof to chase a crew of noisy union workers from the Job. The men were repairing the roof and several house members thought sledge ham. men and anvils were being used. For a time after vote on the mo. tlon to strike out -the enacting clause, j speech making in -the house was al linost impossible. McDougall explained that the workers were engaged In re pairing the roof. "If re stop them, i-hey will hold the state responsible,, he announced. But that didn't seem to bother ths i house members m the least. In fact some of them openly recalled that the legislature would be its own judge of .ntr riamaffM i Harvey of Clark county dictated a resolution directing that work be sus pended during the special session. The house was in committee of the whole, but arose and adopted the resolution. A few minutes later McDougall climbed to the roof to present ths resolutions to the union workers.

Fighter Was Shipbuilder Claimed o Exemptions. Los Angeles, Jan. -14. Denial of Charges that Jack Dempsey was a oraft dodger and "slacker" and de fense of his conduct during the war was made by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, in a signed statement issued here today. The statement follows: "Jack DemDsey was not a 'draft dodger during the.war. Any one who makes such a charge cannot support it with facts. "When the draft came Dempsey was placed in class 4-A because he was a married man. and, in addition, was supporting a mother, an invalid broth er and a sister. Dempsey made no claims for exemption. "Some time later the draft board. readjusting classifications, placed Dempsey in class A-l. but almost im mediately afterwards put him in class 2-B. He remained there during the rest of the war. If the conflict had- lasted- a few weeks longer, it seems a certainty he would have been in the uniformed service. "During the war Dempsey was em ployed as a riveter in the Sun ship building plant of Philadelphia and also in a ship yard in Seattle. He also. was appearing in fistic contests at ben efits for the different war charities. By this means approximately $100, 000 was raised for the various war funds. "Dempsey not merely fought with out a cent-remuneration but paid his traveling expenses to and from each battle ground and each cantonment. He was frequently 'broke' -as a con sequence' IS FIRST RESTORED Vltrimont, France, Put Back on Feet by California, Sponsor Cities. Washington, Jan. 14.

vTHE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1920 START GRID WAR lotercollegiate Ass'n Puts Ban on Professional Game. Says Paid Teams Are Menace to the Sport. WESTERN COLLEGES TOLERANT Coaches West of AUeghenJes Say o Harm in It. Professional Teams Maintained Where No Colleges. New York, Jau. 14. Professional football must go. This was the edict of the National CoIlpRiate Athletic association at its winter meeting here recently. To curb what was looked upon as a. menace to the growth of football as a national sport, university legislation was urced to rescind the letter of any college football man who participated In the professional game after he fin ishes his course. The western conference fired the first gun in the campaign by adopting this defense. Other universities and groups no doubt will follow in the same trail but not all of them. Mill Start Fisht. Many of the western and southern officials do not fear the professional game as a cloud that threatens the life of the gridiron pastime. Among them is Coach Livingstone who has a habit of turning out cham pionship teams in the Ohio conference for Denison university. 'Colleges would ot thing of re scinding the diploma of a graduate who was guilty of some civil breach- Why then should a football player be de prived of an earned letter for com mitting an alleged sport offense?" he said during the recent meeting. Ohio Now Center. Ohio is the center of professional football. The game has grown to a fixture there not because the fans pre fer it to the colleffe game but because they are peculiarly situated In that they haven't the chances that eastern fans have to see high class collegi ate games. Some of the delegates from the middle west deny that professional football is a disgrace. They also argue that similar legis lation should be enacted against base ball players who turn their talents to profit on the diamond and gainst salaried coaches in the universities w ho employ their knowledge to mer cenary ends.

Chance of a lifetime." That is the appeal of Arthur J. Cul ler, graduate of the Kansas State Ag gie college and native of Kansas, who is now director of the relief commis sion in the Near East near Marash on the Euphrates river.. He has sent his appeal to the Topeka relief headquar ters. The Aggie graduate who takes ad vantage of the opportunity thus of fered has a chance of becoming the owner of one thousand acres of the most fertile land in the world as his reward for teaching the primitive farmers of Turkish Armenia the arts of modern agriculture. "The land of the district is remark ably fertile," writes Mr. Culler. "But the farmers are wholly ignorant of modern methods of cultivation. All of them have heard of the wonderful progress of American agriculture and they are anxious tto be taught scien tific agriculture. The farmers of the Marash district have pooled 'sufficient land so that they can offer to some young Kansan who understands agri culture Ihe 1,000 acres if he will come and teach them how to farm. It will be necessary to import farm ma ehinery and a tractor to handle the farm.

Director. Washing ton. I. V. While the senate and house con ferees are trying to hammer out a rail road law they should not lose sight of the fact that in the long run the whole people are more concerned in the steady, regular and efficient oper ation of the railroads than either the railroad owners or the railroad work ers, and it is the whole people that will finally pay the bill for railroad operation and improvement. This country cannot prosper without pros perity for the railroads. We need not only more efficient operation of the railruitds than we now have, but the building of many more miles of lines. Kxpemlitures for ordinary re pairs which have been neglected dur ing the past two or three years' will run into the billions of dollars, and this money cannot be found until the loads, have been placed In a position to earn. mor!ey; to pay interest, and to reisif'iitj dividends. The -warlike spirit of the United States senate, which prevents it from making peace with Germany, shows no tendency toward extending itself to Mexico, altho the people of that coun try are killing our citizens almost daily. But it took us a long time to get Jnto the war that is already in ex istence.' Thq senate majority is not justified in slamming the whole country by re fusins to ratify the peace treaty, in order to revenge itself upon the pres ident for the blunders he has made. "Woodrow Wilson and the United States are not identical, however he may feel about it. At the end of fourteen months from the signing of the armistice, every im portant nation in the world, except the United States, finds Itself at peace with Germany. Our voice still is for war. But it may be that the senate feels that we should make up for the time that we stayed out. Victor Berger might try it again. There is an old saying that the "third time is a charm." He may in time at least" attain the distinction of being elected to congress oftener than Uncle Joe Cannon. A fair deal for labor and business, law and order, it is said, are to be the chief planks in the Republican plat form. Here we have the issue, com ments the Sioux City Journal, if the Democratic party will declare for an unfair deal to labor and business and lawlessness and disorder. A labor union -in Chicago is reported to have refused to fraternize with a member of the American Legion. If a labor union has only its lawful pur pose of obtaining ygood pay, improv ing the standard of labor and advanc ing working conditions it should have no objection whatever to its members also belonging to the American Le gion, the National Guard or other patriotic organizations.

He would find feeding Europe a small matter compared with that of providing for all the hungry Demo crats, that would surge around the public crilK If Senator Kail's committee desires first hand information regarding' af fairs in Mexico it has gone t the right place to get it. It is now in session at San Antonio. Texas. The neighbors usually know what is going on next door. Indications now point to the rati fication of the national suffrage amendment by a sufficient number of states to enable the women of the en tire country to vote for president next autumn. Coincident with the event comes the centenary of the birth of. Susan B. Anthony. It was Miss An thony who in 187S originated, with two of her co-workers, the federal suf frage amendment, which after forty years' agitation, finally passed in 1919, conferring "Votes for Women." A double celebration will be in order. GETTLNG BACK TO NORMAL, j While federal officials, legislative bodies and fair price committees are busytn-' themselves with efforts to re duct the cost of living and are accom plishing nothing, the cost problem is working itself out. Strikes have al most ceased. Idle men by thousands have returned to work and Immigra tion has been resumed A combina tion of these factors, equivalent to a considerable increase in the .working forces of the country, is certain to re sult In increased production which in turn will result in lower prices. These will obviate the demand for wage in- ci eases and even tend to lower the pay of laborers. Thus will the "vicious circle" of higher prices be reversed and move downward instead of up wind The National Bank of Commerce monthly analyzes the present situation and presents tables showing compari sons of production in 1918 and 1919 in crops, coal, cotton and wool. The writer also regards the net ton miles of freight handled by the railroads as one of the best measures of the phy sical volume of production and ex change of commodities. Taking the figures available for the ten months ending October SI, 1919, for Class 1 toads under federal control, represent ing 95 per cent of the total railroad .mileage, and estimating the ether two months, the total freight movement for the year is about 395,000,000,000 net ton miles as compared with 436.- 614,869,000 ton miles over the same roads during 1918. This indicates that the total freight movement over all roads for 1919 will fall below that for 1918. The tables referred to. also show that 1919 falls below 1918 in the commodities analyzed. The article concludes: "The reac tion after the tension of warhas been much less violent in the United States than' in any other important com batant country. After the first hesi tation, production has proceeded in the face of great difficulties. Never theless, after therecovery of the early months, all that can fairly be said is that Industry has held its bwn. On the other hand, consumption has proceed ed at an extravagant rate, despite the high price levels which have in part resulted from it. Only by decreased consumption and by increased produc tion can a balance be reached at rea sonable prices between supply and de mand. Thus far there has been very little application of this principle to individual conduct. Until such appli cation he made, commercial activity will Inevitably proceed at a. ratio but of proportion; to the physical volume of production, and the present unsta ble situation will continue."

Is he looking for a place to which twe may send our Gold mans and Berkmans? THE STATE OP TRADE. The settling down of labor unrest and a diminution of strikes during the past thirty days, says Henry Clews in his Financial Review, is one of the most hopeful elements in the general business situation. Taken with the stronger attitude of the government toward Socialistic and anarchistic agi tation, it gives promise of a much bet ter industrial outlook than had been thought likely to exist at this time1. Industrially speaking, he continues, the business situation at the opening of the new year appears to be more than encouraging. Not only are many factories booked ahead for long periods but the basic industries of the nation, such as those engaged In pro ducing steel, coal and fundamental textiles, are evidently no more than able to meet the demands upon their resources. All this, he says, points to a fery active year's work, if financial difficulty can be avoided. Bradstreet's says: "Strong opening in many lines. Prices make new high levels. Steel in active demand but mills' order books congested. Lum ber, grain, coal, coke and steel inter ests hampered by car shortages. Rail roads buying rails but few cars. New high levels for clearings. Spurt in failures following year of lowest busi ness mortality." The firm's food index for the past week based on the prices per pound of-thirty-one articles used for food, is 5.24, the highest on record, and com pares with S6.07 the previous week and 85.02 for the week ending Janu ary 9. 1919. Last week's number shows (a gain of 3.3 per cent over the previous week ar.d of 4.1 per cent over the like week of last year. A bulletin issued by the Guaranty Trust company of New York says: The purport of the reviews and forecasts customarily made at this sea son of the year is that the last twelve months may well be described as "hectic." and that the year now be ginning should be one of the best in our history. The world shortage of pooas continues, and r.urope especial ly is clamoring for food, raw materials and machinery. America has the things the world needs, and the labor and capital to make them available to the needy, but labor is restless under better wages and shorter hours, and capital hesitates to extend credit while the terms of peaca are unknown. Those who, see the opportunities, and who realize the only true remedies for the past and the only hope for the future, are urging the country to work harder and to spend less. There is no present indication of a decline in prices. Business everywhere is- good. 'are few shadows to dim the bright prospects of America during the com ing; year." TOPEKA' STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASHES, Director. Washington, D. C. VANISHING SUPERSTITIONS. Washington, D. C, Jan. 10. That a farmer in this age of scientific agri culture should plant his beans in the full of the moon, because he firmly believes that if they were planteo. when the moon is dark the pods would not cling to the vines,' seems almost incredible. Yet this superstition, and a host just as ridiculous are still cher ished by some farmers in all parts of the country. They are one of the formidable dirficulties which the county agents and other champions of scientific farming regularly have to contend with. It should be said immediately that the farmers are really no. worse in this regard than city folk. If modern sci ence and education mean anything, they mean the death of superstition. They mean that the individual will look for a rational cause back of every effect. They mean the substitution of skepticism for credulity. Just in so far as we still believe in the mystical and the supernatural, in matter which may be explained on rational grounds, just so far we are still sav ages. And the beautiful young de butante who believes that she has a dual nature because she was born un der the geminal sign of the Zodiac is no more civilized in this regard than the backwoods farmer who believes that the meat of a hog killed during the moon's wane is sure to shrink when cooked. Altho the farmers are not the oraVy superstitious class, their superstitions are a more serious matter than those of actors, for example, because they affect the production of food. Rural superstitions govern such important matters as care of sick animals, time to plant crops, and how to set hens. Tractors, the gasoline engine, and government bulletins on agriculture have suppressed to a great extent the progressive farmer's romantic tenden cies. But, even' so. the influence of tradition and early training are strong, and many farmers cling tenaciously to the old "saws." Proverbs and superstition flourish in any rural community where there are farmers of the old school whose fathers and grandfathers firmly be lieved the weather prophecies of the almanac and told the children that bluejays are always scarce on Friday because they go to consult with the devil. Many of the old weather proverbs, to be sure, have a foundation of fact. Take the advice, "When oak leaves are as bis: as mouses' ears plant your corn." The idea back of this is that the oak tree is one of the last to leaf, and by waiting for the oak leaves the farmer avoids planting his corn too soon The belief of the Pueblo Indians mat ior lignining to siriKe in a. corn field means a good crop is still held by many armers today. It-is impos sible to say whether the Pueblos read any reason into this saying. Most modem farmers merely accept it as a superstitious belier. Yet it has an ex planation, rather far-fetched, in that lightning accompanies rain, and rain naturally helDS the cropsv Many other proverbs have no effect whatever aside from their picturesque qualities. Such a one is the saying that the number of snowfalls for the winter can be told by the day of the month of the first snow. Thus, if the first snow of the season falls on No vember 10, subtract ten from thirty, the number of days in the month, and you find that there will be 'twenty snow storms i'i your vicinity. This is mere child'3 play, according to the weather bureau. Weather may be forecasted specifi cally thirty-six hours ahead, and in a general way it is possible to predict conditions for a week in advance. But as for almanac prophecies printed a year ahead, and weather proverbs which attempt to reduce the weather to simple formulae, the weather bu reau says that it is impossible for such statements to be' accurate. In the class of irresponsible weather proverbs come those which link sea sons As it rains in. March, so it rains in June; as July, so next January: warm October; cold February; warm January, cold May; and so on indefi nitely. These sayings are so numerous that practically every possible pair of months in the year is connected by a proverb, and in some cases the ideas clash, so that if you are op be lieve in any, .'you must choose. The weather bureau states that this combination of two months or' sea sons grew from the belief that weather occurs in regular cycles. This is a half truth. Weather is ordinarily distributed in short cycles of three days. It takes a "high"' or dry waVe, about three days to pass over a given place, and stormy periods are of ap proximately the same duration. From this basis we get the adage, "Three frosts and then a rain," which is as likely to come true as not. Superstitions about the moon, almost without exception, have no foundation. This is rather unfortunate, as the mooiveuperstitions are the most num erous and the dearest to the farmer's heart. Pliny, Cato, and other writers assured the ancient Romans that oak trees should be felled when the moon is on the wane, and gave them other advice relative to the proper use of the moon in agriculture. Ever since then, moon farming has been popular. Hens must be set ana potatoes planted in the dark of the moon; sheep must be sheared when the moon is bright. When the young moon is tilted so that one horn points upward, this is a sign in some sections that the moon is !The George Matthew Adams LIVING IN THE LIGHT. I confess a kind of child terror at great storms tho I love them! But I would never choose to live in a coun try where storms never came. None of the great forces of nature is more "Uplifting than that of the sun. He is a pretty poor sport who would not face his days courageously after having been touched by a billion sun rays on awakening in the morning. And yet it is only on the bright days that great shadows are possible. It's that way with the meat helpful characters those who have become greatest. Their paths- have been strewn with shadows. Because, you see, it is the shadows which force out the man as he stands boldly against a background -of tests.

ready to pour out rain. In other local- ities they say that the moon is hold- ins the- rain, and. a drought should be expected. The futility of either interpretation is apparent from the fact that the moon appears jractically the same all over the country, and it is sure to rain in some places and be dry in others during the succeed ing days. Scientists explode the moon theories by saying conclusively that the moon moves in regular cycles and has no effect on the weather.. "If the moon was responsible for the weather, fore casting would be a' picnic," said -one weather expert when questioned as to the moon s Influence on, weather and crops. '"As the moon follows the same course year after yeir, we would have the same weather in cycles without variation, if it controlled atmospheric conditions." "The moon controls tides, of course," said the same expert, "but if it has any influence whatever on the weather, it is so slight that it is swallowed up by the other influences." Superstition pursues the farmer- from the moonlit cornfield to the barnyard. Here the effects are often tragic. So called cures for diseases of stock and poultry are often such as a Shakes pearian witch might prescribe, and the result is torture to the animals and a weakened grade of stock. If a cow is sick, and stops chewing its cud, for instance, some farmers still follow- tho old-custom of putting a mackerel down its throat, tail first, to puil up the cud. The department of agriculture says that maihy a cow has been strangled to death by a dish cloth being put down its throat for the same purpose. An equally sensible procedure is to burn a live chicken if there is disease lQ the poultry flock. This ceremony is supposed to improve the health of the flock, tho how making one chicken suffer can help the rest it is hard to understand. The bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture grows indignant over these and similar cruelties. "There is an abundance of literature on animal diseases which can be had from the department for the asking." said an official of the bureau. "Such medie al methods, when they do nof kill the .victim, can only result in slower growth and stunting." The hold that old customs have on the people of a community is doe to the fact that they are old and in grained. Some of the superstitious practices in regard to care of cattle can be traced back to ancient times. You may remember the Bible story, over five thousand years old, of Laban and Jacob and their flock. The two patriarchs agreed to divide their flock of sheep. Jacob was to have the variegated offspring, and Laban those of solid color. In order to increase his share, Jacob took poplar wands and partly peeled them and placed them in the pastures. The idea was that the sight of the spotted sticks would influence the ewes, and their lambs would be variegated. This idea has long been pro nounced unsound by scientists, yet it Is not uncommon to find a modern farmer who paints the fence of his barnyard" enclosure black, to. keep. up the black strain in his cattle. ape.

Wilifred, and his son. Tern. Jr.. was. in the vernacular of west Texas, "bogged down" hopelessly in -a lane running past a queer little stpne house. Wilifred must of necessUy see what sort of persons lived there, so she set off down the lane into the yard. A most curious sight met her. A swarm of bees semed to be trying to get in the window, and beej were roaming wild all over the premises. She gave a screan of dismay, which bror-ght a man from bhind the house. She was amazed at the bees, .but more amaied at the man. He was honey from top to toe anj bees were swarming all over him. He paid no attentio-i to the bees except to catch them by the wing., if they chanced to light on his bare hands, and holding them aloft gently would let them loose to. fly away. His big fat collie appacently had taken refuge from the bees behind a screen set up before an overturned box, and did not come out even to speak to the stranger. i "My. goodness gracious!" screamed Willlfred. dodging a stray bee, "you'll sirrely get stung." "Oh, yes, probably, but not enough to hurt. They really aren't paying much attention to me. They're some what nervous. I've been robbing them today," said the bee-man, noncha lantly. Then: "Is there anything I can do for you "But Just look at them! I should say they are nervous! Why, they ae trying to get inside your house. Look at that window ledge! A whole swarm of them trying to go inside. Thel 11 take your house and you'll never get inside of it again!" cried Wilifred, aghast. "Yes but they did that a long time ago. They seemed to want to live there even more than I did, so I just let them take one side of it and I live in the other side," said the bee-man. "But don't they sting you insisted Wilifred. 'No, we get along most amicably. I fixed up a glass compartment for .them,- and we live in peace and harmony "Oh! gasped Wilifred. "Then, of course, there isn't anybody here but you' no woman "No. no woman," and he looked wistfully across the desert plain as tho hoping she were coming. "Of course," Wilifred hastened to say, "a woman would be so afraid of the bees- "And a bit afraid of me and the deserf so she did not come in the first place Perhaps she was right." "Oh," murmured Wilifred sympa thetically, "pardon me. I didn't mean to to pry.." "You didn't. You simpry caught me rather unawares. I think I told you because I wanted to. Old bachelors get so lonesome that they are garru lous 'on slight provocation now and then., Aud If you will not mind mv f saying1 'it, it was because I fancied reseraoiance m you xo tnat woman who feared to trust me and the desert witsWier future. As I said before, per haps she was right. At any rate I blame her. less and less as theyears roll by. But," changing again to his matter-of-fact manner, tiyou have not told me whether there is' anything I could do for you." "Oh, yes," laughed Wilifred. "or rather no, I guess not We went Into a chuckhole and the men are digging the machine out, so I came exploring. And I am so much more interested in the bees and the honey than digging out autos, which has become a rather common thing." "Have you ever tasted anv of the j valley honey? I was going to say cat- foot you'd hardly know the term. Let me go inside and get some for you." Returning, he handed her upon a wooden plate a most delicious cake of honey just cut from the frame and it was "bleeding" its liquid sweetness in little orange colored rivulets into the dish. "How perfectly scrumptious! Um-m, my! I'll go back and share it with the fam, and then as we come by, they shall tell you how much it added to our lunch, for we have not eaten it yet." She turned to go. "Perhaps I'd better get the horses ready, for we sometimes have to pull people out of these holes," suggested the bee man. "Well, what have you there, Mrs. Christopher Columbus?" asked her aunt as WllifredT approached her aunt's perch at the side of the road, bubbling over with delight at her ac quisition. Bitting down beside her Wilifred proceeded to tell her all about it. "Sweetest man on God's green earth, auntie. He was honey from the crown of his hat to the soles of his shoes. Fact! You'd be crazy about him. I guess the girl that he was going to marry stung him so hard that he took up bees as a counter irritant. What's crie matter, auntie?" For her aunt gasped, turned white, sprang to her feet, looking from left to right in dis may, as tho she must flee but where to? For .the bee man was coming few rods away, leading his horses. He stopped for a fleeting moment as if he, too. had seen a ghost, then tak ing off his hat he said: "Ah. so 4hat explains, the resem blance! Your daughter, I suppose, Mrs. Mrs. "No," faltered Aunt Carlotta;1 "it's my niece, Tom's daughter. That's Tom over there." But Mr. Allerton had recognized him: Why, hello, O. B. Where in thunder did you come from? Live an-ound here?" 'And he hastened out of the mud to greet his old-time friend and almpst once-upon-a-time brother-in-law. "This is young Tom, Ned; you ought to remember him. Tom, this is Ned O'Barron; used to live in our town." The bee man, without further cere mony, began backing his horses around to hitch to the stalled auto. AH effort was directed to getting the machine once more on solid earth; then Mr. O'Barron turned the horses' heads toward home. f "Hold on, Ned."' begged Allerton. "Hitch the nags to the fence and let's visit a spell; or, say. we'll drive along down and meet your family." "We're a-H here except the dog and the bees, and your daughter rather objected to the latter. I'm running a primeval bachelor's paradise," with just a suspicion of bitterness. "But really, Tom. there's no use in your coming down this way. for the bridges below are all washed out, and the water is coming down that deep ar royo like. old Mad river backrin Ohio. You'll have to go back to Amarillo and wait till the bridges are fixed. I'd ask you to share my shack if the bees would allow me, but 11 you'll wait a The Woman Who Loved and ELarned A Modern Story of Home and Brnfricm, By JANE PHELPS CHAPTER III. i Then one night, walking home from the movies, Robert asked me to mar ry him. I was happy, oh, so happy! because I loved him. I had pretended to Mary Ryan that he was no more to me than others, but it wasn't so. He meant all the world to me, all of hap piness. And I told him so, and in the telling felt no shame. Why should I? Why should any girl, once she knowh the man to whom she was given her heart honestly loves her and wants to have her for his wife? I have no patience with the sickly sentimentality that makes a girl make pretence of holding her lover off be cause he might think her anxious. So I told Robert I would be his wife in, the fall. It was the last of July when he asked me. Thruout the daylight hours f Au gust and September I worked doubly hard in the shop, and devoted the eve nings I did not spend with Robert to getting my simple trousseau ready. The time slipped by almost imper ceptibly, so happy and so busy was I. Mary Ryan helbed me in every way. "If you are bound to make a goose of yourself, why, I might as well help even if I don't like your getting mar ried," she had grumbled as she stitch ed away on a negligee. "It won't make any difference in my feeling for you, Mary, so don't be so grumpy about it," I replied. I couldn't help feeling a little hurt that Mary should object to my marrying. "Oh, get out! Don't I know that when a girl gets married she might as well be dead for all the comfort she is to anybody but the man she marries sometimes she ain't even .to him. Here I was plannin how we would live together when we got old, the fine times we would have learnin' to cook" she stopped in pretended surprise, "goodness, Gerry, you" can't get mar ried! You don't -know a blessed thing about keeping house, or cooking." "I'm, not going to keep house, silly." "What are you plannin' to do? Hire a housekeeper and cook on a ship clerk's salary?" little I'll ride along and help you back over those bad chuckholes." "Why, I I'm not awfully afraid of bees, Mr. O'Barron," ventured Aunt Carlotta timidly. "That' fortunate, Mrs. Mrs. he stammered, waiting for, some one to supply her married name. "Just the same name, Ned. that I have always had Carlotta Allerton," she announced with a trembling little smile. If the bee man tittered something under his breath, it went no further than Aunt Carlotta, unless those young ears of the niece, caught it. "Guess I've discovered eorhethlng this time worth while. So Aunt Car lotta was that girl, was she bet I'll call him Uncle Hony-Bunch before this trip is over," chuckled Wilifred to herself, then to the bee man: "Oh, do come with us, Mr. O'Bar ron," she pleaded; "the bees can get along a while without you and we need you dreadfully." a teasing look at her blushing aunt.. "You see, we will have to stay in town- a few days, and we'd so much like to have an old friend for company." Of course, he needed no further urging,- for Carlotta had looked up and smiled and nodded. She was too wise to trust her voice, so the bee man hurried off to change into another suit of clothes. Aunt Carlotta turned to her beam ing niece, who could hardly contain herself, so keen was she to hear all the details of the old romance, and asked: "What did you say, dear, about Mr. O'Barron?" "Oh," giggled Wilifred, T said he was the sweetest man on God's green earth." And Aunt Carlotta stored the re mark away in her memory, for she waa sure that she was going to have occasion to use it when they were back in town.

I am twenty-five years of age and would like to meet young people of about that age. My mother and I have moved here from a south ern town, where I .was reared. Since coming here I have met many nice people, but they were either children or much older than I. At-home I was always accustomed to going with the very best people of. town and we en tertained my friends in my home a great deal, and so naturally I am lone- j some here. M. P. j You should Join the Y. W. C. A. and i also attend the church which appeals, to you most. Both of these organiza tions will take an interest In getting you acquainted. Tell your friends who are either older or younger than you desire that you are lonely and would tike to meet people of your own age. Doubtless they can assist you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am eight teen and have been going with a fel low twelve years my senior. I like him very much and have been going with him five months, but my parents object to our1 going together. i Do you think he is too old for me?! BROWN EYES. j I agree with your parents. The I man is too old for you. At the age of twenty-five you will love an en-' tirely different type of man and will probably crave youth or at least some one nearer your own age. At eigh teen your tastes are not settled and you cannot Judge the depth of your love. Dinner Stories A young. farmer's bride who recent ly undertook the management of the horticultural department of the farm writes the agricultural editor as fol lows: "What can I do to make my pota toes grow?- I peeled them -ever so earefrlly before planting them, but they haven't even come up yet." "What did you do last night V "Oh, I read for a couple of hours." "I thought you were going to ths movies." "I did go. Ninety per cent of the feature consisted of sub-titles." "I don't see how I could possibly he any worse than I am. sir." "Then, cheer up. You've got .notU- j ing further to worry about" "I'm planning to keep my position, Mary. I shall go on working Just the same. And, Mary, please do pronounce your g's. I hate to keep telling you." "Mayoe I don t wian i naa gone xo high school like you, before I had to work-to keep from starving: "Don't speak so bitterly, Mary. You know as much as I do, more about some things the shop, etc," "Don't think I am a fool enough to swallow that, Gerry Frost. 1 ain't like a fool what don't know the real thing, when they see it; I have got sense if I ain't got education. And I knew you was all the merry the first day you came to the shop. I'm going to work like biases and some day I'll be a saleswoman too, you see if I ain't." "You surely will if you try. You are naturally much smarter, much cleverer than I am I assured her, "and I will help you learn to speak more gram matically if you will let me. I should study toe, and so we will be helping each other," I was a little anxious as to how Mary wo'ild take my offer. She was proud, and high spirited. "Honest, Gerry Frost, do you mean that Mary's eyes suddenly over flowed. "I never thought anyone would care enough, about me to learn me anything." "Of course I mean it that Is. if you won't mind being corrected." "Mind! not on your life! But I reckon it will keep you pretty busy." So it was settled. Mary was tq learn to speak correctly. I was to teach her 'learn her,' she persisted in saying. She was quiet for a moment, then: "Say, Gerry, does Robert know you are going right on working at the shop?" "Yes that is, we haven't ta'lked much about ;t. At first he objected terribly. But now he isn't quite so j Insistent. I made him see how fool iah it would be I earn as much, ai- most, as he does." (I earned fully as mucn, out X would r.ot Ut even Mary know it for fear she would not think i quite so well of Robert.) Mqulton Musings Y ROY K. MOULTOX.

If a foreigner heroines naturalised after his children have reached llielr ma jority do the children becro cltlsens by .virtue of their father's naturalization? E. C. I.. A. They do not.

Circumstance has deprived us of our favorite New Year's resolution. For many years past wa have resolved, on each succeeding January 1, to stay oft the water wagon for another year. It was our best loved deprivation and we kept and cherished it. It is no longer possible to make and keep this dis tinctive vow, and we regret it. Not that we wish to convey the im pression that we are a hard-drinking gent. Far from it. Our habits-are so temperate as to approach abstinence. We stayed off the water wagon be cause we couldn't stand the people who made up the great majority of its passengers. We wish to- be DrODerly indignant concerning the infamy of the loan of tl3.AOO.000.000 which, it is alleged. Great Britain has Just negotiated with the government at Washington. But we fear our fury will be feeble as com pared to that exnlBited. ty tne New York American. We never feel tne pitiful Inadequacy of a column con ductor so deeply as when the Ameri can speaks in letters six Inches in height.

BRYAN MAY BE LEADER Declares Hailroad Problem Real 1920 Campaign Issue. riatform Carpenters of G. O. P. and Demos Are Busy. Washington, Jan. 14. Entrance of a third party Into the presidential campaign depends on whether certain radical plan Km are incorporated in the platforms of the Republican or Demo cratic parties, according to political indication in Washington today. J The fipht tp get theme planks into the platform seems likely to material ise at the Democratic convention. The Republican platform will be studied out and prepared in advance, at least tentatively and there does not ap pear to he much chance of a con vention clash over it. The radicals this does not mean reds want government ownership of railroads and mines and more govrrn xnent aid for farmers. If such legisla tion is not promised by the major parties, the inclination of the backers of these issues is to form a third party. 1 tail roads Big Issue W. ,T.

Four insurance bills were intro duced today in the upper house by Carroll of Wabaunsee, chairman of the insurance committee. One forces insurance and bene ficiary associations to reply to any in quiry from the superintendent of in surance within twenty days after the receipt of the inquiry. Failure to com ply with the proposed measure invokes a penalty in the suspension of a state license for one year. Another forces Insurance companies to submit all forms of contracts and certificates to the superintendent of insurance. The third permits mutual insurance companies to include insurance of building against loss or damage by hail. The fourth is the measure to do away with the antiquated insurance laws governing insurance companies and putting an official O. K. on mod ern methods of insurance companies in transacting' business. The plan to submit these bills to the legislature .has been announced time after time by Frank L. Travis, super intendent of insurance. HOXSEY ASKS-DIVORCE Declares Wife Called Employer to Ijcarn 'Whereabouts Too Often. His wife calling his employer on the 'phone too often to find out whether he were working or out "joy-riding," was one of the' allegations on which H. H. Hoxsey, an-auto salesman, asks a divorce from May Hoxsey, now liv ing with her father at the Sixth Ave nue hotel, in a petition filed today In the district court. Hoxsey declares hjs wife was the cause of their having to leave three different homes on account of her habit of talking about the landlady when that personage could overhear her. Further, he says, she has cursed and called him vile names in the pres ence of third parties and once, in a fit of anger, struck him on the hand with a coat hanger. She is of a Jealous disposition, be declares, and besides falsely accusing him of having dates with other wom en, has hindered him in business by frequently calling his employer on the telephone to find out If he were work ing or out for an airing In a rhotor car.

Mi "Realized Tonight 7:30 Tonight Go THE TOPEKA DAILY ANTI-HOG BILL UP Attorney General Hopkins Be fore House Committee. Defines Meaning of His Anti ProfiteeriDg Measure. It is up to Richard J. Ifopkins, at torney genera, to define to the house state affairs committee just what prof iteering really means in a very legal, sense Otherwise he may be waiting for a favorable report on his pet bill long after the special session adjourns. The house committee took up the anti profiteering bill this morning with Hopkins on the rug. Tonight the re tailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and others interested in the measure will appear. Members of the house committee have not broken speed records in plac ing an O. K. on the Hopkins bill which is advertised to curb living costs and clip the bristles from the profit hogs. Several members of K. L.. Barrier's committee have had practical mercan tile experience and they are looking at provisions of the anti profit grab bing bill with a strong glass. Today some very direct questions may be ask,ed. Hopkins Needs Funds. Not only Is Hopkins today most keenly interested in the committee ac tion on his bill, but any course which the house committee takes will have a direct bearing on his request for more funds. Only recently it was learned that there was a balance of 44 cents in Hopkins contingent fund and that nearly $7,000 had been spent for gen eral expenses from a. $10,00.0 appro priation for bridge trust investigations.! The attorney general is asking the legislature for a big slice of additional; funds. It is reported that his request may be for $25,000 in event he is given enforcement of an anti profiteering bill. i Before the Hopkins measure is sent to the house for passage, tho, he will be called upon to define just the man- i ner in which a court will determine profiteering.. He may be asked as to the extent to which the state might go in inquiring into the business af fairs of a corner grocery store and the number of inquiries that might be made in a given time. He will also be asked as to the- percentage basis of profits which would be just under the law and which would be excessive. And last he will be asked if the basic profit which would enable one firm to do business might not be excessive for another firm and' bankrupt a third. But the real joy won't be entirely in the hearts of the mercantile inter ests. Tonight some of the visitors may be asked to explain the operation of certain retailers in Kansas in boost ing prices. In the last several months the attorney- general has sent' ques tionnaires to undertakers, cement makers, grocers, dry goods merchants and produce men as well as to a few miscellaneous business interests. May be the returns will prove of value to the state and come Into use during hearings on tho anti-profiteering bill. House Takes the Money. After much reluctance and follow ing a conference of house and senate committees, the- house has backed down and will not stand out for pure i00 proof reform during the special session. The honse agreed to accept $35 for postage and an equal amount for telephone and telegraph for each member during the special meeting. In an original appropriation bill the house measure had been for $25 for postage and a similar sum for tele graph and telophone. But the senate refused to budge and the house con ferees accepted the money which had been rejected with disdain and a wig gle of the fingers at the senate. MAY TAKE IT HOME-BUT HOW Chicago. Jan. 14. The Illinois search and seizure act has put all owners of stored liquor In this state "out of luck."

Kan., voters will be denied the right to vote under the existing registration law giverning the Wyandotte county city, the senate was told this morning by Sen. Walter Wilson, of Washington, when he quote! a i"er written lo nyii oy .vjayur e nufi im.i ui j.ms, vuj. Wtlsem asked the senate for instant 1 consideration of a bill introduced in the upper house demanding a. new registration in Kansas City and a re registration every four years. He read a telegram from Sen. James F. Getty, of Wyandotte, written from his sick bed, asking for speedy action on the relief measure. The senate promised to consider the bill tomorrow. Under the present registration law governing Kansas City no one can register during the ten months prior to a presidential election, Wilson stated. He pointed to the ever shift ing population of the city and the hundreds who become of age during the ten months to prove the mayor's statement that 10.000 persons fit to vote are denied the right under the existing law. Then, Wilson pointed to the same handicap which has induced Topeka officials to call for a new registration in this city the registration of hun dreds of aliens yvho under an old law could register after taking out their first naturalization papers. Whether they have ever taken out their full naturalization papers and are citizens or whether they are still aliens cannot be determined, Wilson stated, until a new registration of ail voters is or dered. "With a re-registration every four years," said Wilson, "Kansas City can see- to it that American citizens and not aliens are voting on national, city and state policies and officers." FIGHT THE DISEASE (Continued crin I'sre One. nation. Kansas City physicians ex pressed their belief that the disease was a recurrence of the Influenza of a year ago. One local doctor said today he be lieved atmospheric- conditions were responsible for the epidemic and that the disease had first entered this country from southern ports. Ailment Increases Steadily. Physicians all reported cases of the disease in increasing numbers today. The sickness was found even among nursing babies, where sterilized milk was fed Schools and business houses again were hard hit by absence of their Btudents and employes on ac count of the sickness. Cases of sickness similar to the "winter cholera" reported here have been reported in other Kansas cities, notably Atchison and Pittsburg. The former city has twelve cases, but the disease has not reached the epidemic stage at either place. Texas, because of its propinquity to Oklahoma, where the disease was first noted, is taking precautions against an epi demic there, and many cases have been quarantined In Idaho, where the disease is flatly listed as influenza. Tie Oklahoma state board of health applies the same name to the disease as that given by members of the Kan sas board, "winter cholera." An Okla homa City dispatch says there was an epidemic of a similar malady in 1915. just as was noticed here at the same time. The Oklahoma authorities pect a typhoid epidemic to follow the present one, as was the case in 191a. FEAR NEWMALADY Jamestown Schools Are Closed While Doctors Investigate Epidemic. Concordia, Jan. 14. The James-! town schools have been closed on ac count of an epidemic prevalent there, according to a report received here. The symptoms resemble those of se vere cold, but it is not influenza, the report states. The schools were closed as a precautionary measure, while the doctors endeavor to determine the na ture of the disease. It is thought that this epidemic may be the same ailment as the strange intestinal malady which has appeared in Oklahoma and sev eral Kansas communities. CALL 1TJNFLUENZA K. fc. Physicians Believe Disease Mild Kick-Back From Epidemic. Kansas City, Mo., Jan: 14. Many Kansas City physicians today expressed the opinion that the so-called myster ious epidemic which has appeared in cities of Oklahoma and Kansas is a recurrence of the influenza of a year ago.

Heavy snow, ranging from six inches to a foot, fell over the southeast quar ter of Kansas this week and from two to five Inches in the southwestern counties, but the re -it of the state re ceived little or no precipitation, except the extreme northern counties, which had from half an inch to two Inches of snowfall. Temperatures were mild for the season in all parts, except the southeast portion where they ranged somewhat below normal on. account of the deep enow covering. No rcro weather was reported anywhere. The snow was melting rapidly as the week ended under the influence- of bright sunshine and mild temperatures. The condition of wheat was im proved In the southern counties, where the added moisture from the snow was needed. It is green and lookingxfine in the western third of the state, and the northern counties, tho making a very slow growth in the latter section. Glsewhere it is mostly brown. Hessian fly in the flaxseed or larva stage is present here and there over the state, but is causing no apprehen sion at present. Shawnee county re ports an infestation of 2 per cent, but in the south-central counties the wheat was so slow in coming up on account of the dry weather last fall it has es caped infestation almost entirely. Farm work made very little prog ress in the eastern half of the state on account of frozen ground in some cases and muddy fields in others, but In the western counties considerable pros ress was made lu threshing grain sorghums and wheat and in hauling grain to market. In some of the north western counties hardly half the wheat has been threshed yet. The measurable snowfall for the week: F-a.trn Division. Station.

A YEAR OF CALAMITY About Everything Possible Happened to 1019 Crops, Flora Reports. History of crops In Kansas during the last season chronicled one con flicting event- following another,' ac cording to the annual crop and weath er report of S. D. Flora, state meteor ologist. A surplus of moistiire early in the season was followed by a long, dry summer. It was the eighth season of unusually dry weather out of the last ten years. More moisture was. record ed In February. March and April than ever before in those months, except in 1892. However, many cattle died on the western plains thru inability to get to grass under the snow in Janu ary and February. The cool, cloudy, moist spring held back- vegetation from- danger of late frosts -and promoted an exceptional growth of wheat. Wheat began to lodge and showed many indications of rust. The sudden change to hot,- dry weather, the latter part of June, Just at the critical state, caused wheat to shrivel. Extremely hot weather hin dered the harvest. Heavy rains in September caused much wheat to rot in shocks and stacks. i Corn made a late start in unfavor able weather. The drouth caught It at the critical, stated of development. Average precipitation over the east ern third of the state was 30.43 inches; middle- third, 26.19 Inches; western third, 20.33 Inches. For .the entire state, the average was 26.13 Inches.. Average temperatures approached normal. However, November and le cember were among the coldest months on record, and July one of the hottest, since observations began in 1S7. The highest temperature re corded was 111 degrees at Minne apolis. August 6. The lowest was 25 degrees below ssero at Salina. -January 3. The average for July waa 80 de grees; for December. 28 degrees. HE GETS HIS 'H" IjATE. Church, Who Won Orcjron Game, Honored by Harvard Authorities. Cambridge. Mass., Jan. 14. Freddie Church.

The board of directors of the North Topeka Civic club, consisting of Frank B. Simms, V. K. Parkhurst, Chartes Stewart, Fred Buechner and Fred O. Morns, were re-elected last evening at the meeting of the mlub at the Com munity house. Following adjournment the board elected officers for the coming year. These officers are Frank Simms, re elected president; R. Parkhurst. first vice president; Fred Buechner, second vice president; Charles Stew art, treasurer. The office of secretary will be filled later. As has often been proven, it is more difficult to reawaken interest in a project than to start entirely new. The Civic club for some years had been a power for good on the .North side, pro moting civic pride and succeeding In getting various needed improvements from the city that might otherwise have been sidetracked. But for some reason, interest had died out and no meetings had been held for several years until last spring, when meetings were again held and in June was in stituted an annual "North Topeka Day," which proved a big success. From that time the North Topeka Civic club has made steady progress, the most important step being the pur chase of the former Congregational church, at Laurent and Jackson street, as a Community house. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Mc Intyre who, with Mr. Tirriil, was pres ent last evening, representing the Chamber of Commerce. Fred O. Morns was elected as a member of the Civic club to represent the club on the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce. Arrangements were made to hold the postponed box social in two weeks at the Community house, to be fol lowed 'by a program and business meeting. Mrs. Charles Stewart is chairman of committee on arrange ments.

To this generous Invitation she made one stip ulation and that is that the guests be some boys from the Industrial school and a few from some orphans' home. McCaffertv called Cantain MacLean by 'phone stating the request of this famous musical comedy star.

Spent Hundreds in Vain Re stored by Tanlac. "i want my statement published In all The papers that everybody may know how. Tanlac has helped me and what a wonderful medicine it is,", said 'William H. Ferguson, a well known electrician, living at 90S Lagrange street, Toledo, Ohio, in an Interview recently. "A month ago." continued Mr. Fer guson, "it would have been impossi ble for me to do the work I am doing today. Five years ago I commenced to have rheumatism in my left shoul der and arm and across my back un der the shoulder blade. I kept getting worse unt(l I had to be carried to a hospitalr where I lay helpless for three weeks. I simply could not move with out help. During. the post four years I have lost at: least eighteen months from work on account of this rheuma tism. Most of the time I could not even lay back In a barber's chair to get shaved, and rhy left arm was so helpless I could not raise my hand to wash my face. Since leaving the hos pital a-year ago I have been able to bo about part of the time, but a few weeks ago those awful pains started tip in my arm and the fenr of getting r down helpless again almost drove me mad. At the time I got Tanlac I was also suffering from stomach trouble and had been for ten years. I dis tinctly remembered about a year be fore the rheumatism came on me, of being trouhledo with indigestion, spots coming before my eyes, and diz ziness that I got alarmed. I could hardly bear to think of eating as the simplest kind, of food would sour on my stomach and cause a siekening sen sation and Intense pains. After even a very light meal my hearf would palpitate and act so peculiar that I wos afraid I had heart trouble. "I tried all kinds of medicines, had the best treatment, and spent hun--rlreds of dollars In my efforts to get rid of stomach trouble, to say nothing of what I have paid out since the rheumatism struck me. but never got more than a little passing relief. I could see no way out of my troubles until I read a statement for Tanlac a fev weeks sro from a man who had rmfered with the same kind of trou bles. The first bottle gave me a good appetite and as soon as I got so I could eat and digest my food I no ticed the pains In my arms and shoul ders getting less. I can use my left arm and hand better now than in three years. The other day I tried laving back in the barber's chair and was overjoyed to find that my shoul der did not pain me the least bit. I am eating three good, hearty meals a day and can Just feel myself getting stronger ell the time. I think any one who finds relief after suffering as I did ought to be willing, for the sake of others, to tell what did it."
