The Bolshe viki are leaving a trail of murder and outrage in their advance, the Polish Red Cross charged today in a message to the League of Red Cross 'Societies. Russian troops, the message said, were committing atrocities, pillag ing, murdering civilians, eutraging and slaughtering Polish Red Cross nurses and driving the wounded from the hospitals. Paris, Aug. 10. The Russians have captured the town of Ciechanow, thus cutting the Warsaw-Danzig railway, according to reports from the French military mission to V'arsaw received by the foreign office today. Reports were current in Paris Mon day night that soviet troops had reach ed Ciechanow, thus severing the most direct line of communication between "Warsaw and Danzig over which Poland has been receiving munitions and supplies from allied sources, and yesterday's Polish communique con ceded that Bolsheviki detachments had occupied Ciechanow for a brief time. Other dispatches report that the Poles have repaired a more round about line between Warsaw and Dan zig running by way of Thorn, Brom berg and Dirschau. Xear Corridor to Sea. Berlin, Aug. 9 (via London, Aug. 10). Red forces were reported today within seven miles of the Polish cor ridor connecting Warsaw with the sea. They were advancing rapidly to cut off the city, Poland's northern army has been crumpled and the defense line along the River Bug has been shattered by the Bolshevik attacks, reports from I "Warsaw Indicated today. j Warsaw is girdled by newly made trenches and fields of barbed wire en tanglements, these advices said. Many spies have been caught in the city and scores of deserters have been appre hended there. The government has decreed courtmartial and death for all such cases. To Fight to Iast. Citizens of Warsaw are grimly de termined to fight to the last despite the feeling of terror that is creeping thru the city with every new report of the approach of the Russian hordes. All men capable of bearing arms are being drilled to defend the "ditch" line against the Red assaults. The refugees coming in bring terrifying ac counts of the manner in which the Russians were sweeping over Poland like a flood. Cossacks are scouting far in advance of the main armies. These Cossacks are said to be very weary from many days fighting and riding, but animated by an almost religious zeal, with Warsaw their goal. "Much business as usual," was con ducted in Warsaw despite the steady approach of the Bolsheviki, these ad vices said. But even the merchants who keep their shops open and make the greatest dispiay of calmness have their personal effects packed and are ready to flee if the Reds break thru the last defence line. Fear Attack From North. The general statf in Warsaw, ac cording to advices received here, is wo"ied about the Russian thrust north of the city. Poland's troops are being massed east of the capital ready to meet the brunt of the Bolshevik attack there. These plans will be up set if the Reds, after having thrust a wedge north of the city and cut the railroad to the coast, wheels south ward and attack from that side. In such an event the carefully prepared trench system east of Warsaw will be outflanked and useless. Strict military discipline prevails In the Polish capital. General Broussac, unsuccessful defender of Vilna, has been summoned to face court martial and explain why he lost that impor tant city to the Russians. Military experts in Berlin believe Warsaw will not be able to hold out much longer. The German govern ment is advising that the commanders on the frontiers be very careful about holding up allied transport and troops, in view of the entente's as surance that it is not planning to send troops thru Germany to aid Poland.

Travers, Kansas City aviator, who was charged with contributory negligence owing to the death of a fellow aviator in a fall on Cowles field. Topeka. Sunday, was cleared of all blame by a coroner's jury in the court of Topeka this morning. Travers piloted the airplane that fell on Cowles field and resulted in the instantaneous death of U. F. Xa deau of Kansas City. It was charged that Travers violated ground rules by taking up over the field with the wind instead of a complete getaway after the start. Several aviators appeared before the coroner's jury and testified that international rules require avia tors to attain height over the start ing field before they fly away. Owing to the fact that Travers was not ac quainted with local rules and was fol lowing International regulations, the Jury cleared him of all blame for con tributory negligence. Travers was uninjured when the plane fell. ARKANSAS PRIMARY OX TODAY. Principal Fight Centers on T. S. Sen ntorial Contest. Little Rock. Aug. 10.

JAPANESE PAPER IN SLAPAT U. S. Kokumin Says American Fos ters Disloyalty There. Say Christianity Used as Cloak in Anti-Japan Campaign. mm CHARGES BROUGHT Americans Said To Be Foment ing Labor Troubles. Most of Jap Press Regards Rus sian Occupation Unwise. (By the Associated Fress.1 Tokio, Aug. 10. Assertions that Americans are "fostering disloyalty among the people of Japan" and that American missionaries in Korea are "using the cloak of Christianity to in still anti-Japanese sentiment there" are made in a series of articles appear ing daily in the newspaper Kokumin in Shimbun. The journal is considered the organ of the military groups and its proprietor and editor is Ichiro Tokutomi, one of the leading journal ists of Japan. America is declared to be ''using Japanese educators, thinkers and busi ness men as tools to spread dangerous thoughts, destroy military discipline and influence Japanese youths to avoid conscription in the army." The news paper says Americans "foment labor troubles for the purpose of hindering Japanese industrial development and reducing her production." Charge Militarism. "America is puffed up since the war." says another article, "and con siders herself the sole arbiter of the world." Plans for a large United States navy are regarded by the writer of the arti cles as "completely removing Amer ica's false mask of justice and human ity" and "exposing her claws of mili tarism." America is seizing every op portunity to protest against Japanese actions and In influencing China against Japan, it is alleged. "Many of our intelligent men sre enamored of America," the Kohumin says, "and because of this public opin ion is not excited, even when our na tional dignity and the rights of our empire of spotless perfection have been insulted." Say Jap Policy Unwise. v A review of the newspapers of Ja pan shows that influential journals have refrained from attacks on Amer ica. They hold the opinion that the Japanese occupation of Russian terri tory is not wise, as it is likely to create complications with the powers. The people of Japan are eager readers of newspapers, which have admittedly grown in influence in recent years. Some Japanese .go so far as to declare the newspapers are more representa tive of the opinion of the empire -than the Japanese diet. REDS "LICKING CHOPS" Promised Privilege of Looting Warsaw When'Ifs Captured, London, Aug. 10. Entry into War saw by soviet troops this week is ex pected by Bolsheviki sympathizers in this city, says the London Times, quot ing a correspondent who declares that immediately after Warsaw is taken a soviet government will be establish ed there. The correspondent declares the Moscow government proposes to make its own terms with a Bolshe viki Poland, and says it is not believed Nikolai Lenine, the soviet premier, could stop the offensive, even if he desired, before the Bolsheviki armies enter the Polish capital, "as the sol diers have been promised the privilege of looting th city." Leonine Krassin and M. Kameneff, heads of the Russian Bolsheviki trade commission in this city, expect they and their whole mission will be asked to leave England w-hen the hews of the fall of Warsaw is received. Ne gotiations for the resumption of trade relations between the allies and soviet Russia are at a standstill and the Times declares that a blockade of Russia would make little difference at the present time. M. Krassin' and Kameneff were invited by laborite members to attend yesterday's meet ing at the house of commons, but they refused to do so, considering it im politic to accept the invitation. The two Russians were greatly agitated Monday, it is declared. When they arrived In London it was said they had plenary powers, but they are obliged to refer most trivial matters to Moscow.

GoTernment Probe Ordered To day by Attorney General. Washington. Aug. 19. The depart ment of justlca- Is conducting an in vestigation In to the textile industry to, determine whether th closing of cot' ton and woolen mills is due to .a con spiracy by manufacturers to continue high prices, it was learned today at the office of Attorney General Palmer. Attorney General Palmer, a week ago sent into New England an agent who now is directing the investigation. District attorneys have been been in structed to give him all assistance. Information reaching not only the Justice department but also experts in the bureau of markets and the com merce department, officials said, in dicates that manufacturers now are closing their mills to prevent stocks of cotton and woolen cloths from pil ing up. This would create a shortage and higher prices when the fall de mand began. Reduce Work Hoars. Officials here today were studying the closins of cotton mills at Fall River, Mass. Cotton mills in Georgia and North and South Carolina are planning to reduce working hours next week, according to reports reach ing officials of the bureau of markets.

Manufacturers say they are forced to close for lack of orders. Can't Obtain Cloth. A Rochester, N. Y.. ready-to-wear clothing maker recently sent a circular to all retail dealers stating he would be unable this fall -to supply certain kinds of clothing. This, he said, was because he was unable to obtain cloth. This manufacturer named a big wool en manufacturing concern which re cently closed its doors for "lack of or ders." The clothing manufacturer said he had previously placed large orders with this same cloth manufacturer. Cloth manufacturers in the past year paid enormous dividends. Several Fall River mills paid more than 10 per cent for the four months' period just ended, according to reports reaching officials here. During the preceding nine months, the same mills paid a total of 25 per cent. STEEL BUSINESS INCREASES. V. S. Corporation's Unfilled Orders for July Were 11.118.468 Tons. New York. Aug. 10.

Mhler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, placed the Kansas yield at 150,000,000 bushels, and many are inclined to boost this figure several million bushels. One state official said he would not be surprised if the Kansas crop this year went to 165, 000,000 bushels. DRY OFFICER A BOOTLEGGER? Prohibition Enforcement Aeent Ar rested in San Antonio, Tex.

Enunciates Allied Foliey in Commons Speech Today. SAYS REDS WERE PROVOKED But Did Not Warrant Wiping Out of Poland. Premier Says Europe's Peace Hangs on Polish Freedom.' London, Aug. 10. "We are still hopeful of peace," Premier Lloyd George declared In the house of com mons this afternoon as he started hs speech laying the Russian-Polish situ ation before parliament. The atmosphere was tense as the premier started speaking, the members listening Intensely to every word. No Troopa to Poland. There Is no intention of sending troops into Poland, the premier de clared. Poland's resources are ample, he as serted, if they are organized byexperl enced leaders. Substantial allied stores are available hear Poland, he announced, which can be shipped there in event that the Poles and Russians fail to agree on a peace at the Minsk conference. Lloyd George said the peace of Eu rope would be endangered If a great and aggressive soviet Russia extended its boundaries so it would be contigu ous with Germany. He declared the government contemplated no action except what may be necessary In sup port of Polish independence. The premier said he regretted that the laborites had the idea that the al lies were conspiring to destroy the Democratic soviet government." He ap pealed to organized labor not to mis Judge the matter. The fact that the Poles attacked the Bolsheviki against the advice of the allies justifies Russia in enacting guar antees for preservation of peace in the future, Lloyd George said, but It does not justify Russia in wiping out Po land's national existence. Most Preserve Independence. The soviet, he declared, was entitled to demand such guarantees as would be exacted by any power against a repetition of attacks of that kind. What was challeneged, he said, was that "nothing Justifies retaliation, re prisals or punishment which aoea to the extent of wiping out national ex istence." "Apart altogether from -the moral right of any power to demand the extinction of another nation as pun ishment for the aggression of its gov ernment." Premier Lloyd George said. "Europe has to be considered. The independence of Poland and its ex istence as an independent nation Is an essential part of the structure of Euro pean peace. Repartitions of Poland would not merely be a crime; It would be a peril, and we have to con sider both these contingencies as a basis for our policy." The premier declared that the sole purpose of the allied policy was to secure peace on a basis of Independ ence for Poland. He said the Hythe conference agreed that the allies should advise Poland to endeavor to negotiate an armistice and make peace as long as such Independence was recognized. That recommendation has been for warded to the soviet government, the premier stated. Tse Blockade If Needed. Lloyd George said the allies would make full use of the League of Na tions' power to enforce a naval block ade against Russia if such action be came necessary. General Wrangel, the antl-Bolshevlk leader in tire Crimea, will be fully sup plied wih munitions in event the allies intercede to hajt the Reds, ho de clared. A member Interrupted to ask what attitude America had taken. The pre mier replied that America unquestion ably would co-operate. "I know the Vnited States Is a strong defender of Polish independ ence." he declared. "There was no man at Versailles more zealous in behalf of it than President Wilson. What ever may be the difference of opinion in America with regard to the League of Nations. I have no doubt about America's opinion with regard to pre serving Polish independence." Soviets Can Have Peace. He said that the opposition of al lies to the Bolsheviki was due to the latter's breach of faith and the evi dent determination of the Reds to wage war to the bitter end. If the Soviets want peace, they can have It." Lloyd George declared. "But if the liberties of civilization and of Europe are challenged, rest as sured we will act." TO ENFORCE NAVAL BLOCKADE British Squadron Steams Into Dan ish WateTs Today. Copenhagen. Aug. 10. A formidable British squadron steamed Into Danish waters today. It was reported the warships were under orders to partici pate in a blockade of Russia. Paris. Aug. 10. The military deci sions reached at the Hythe conference between Premier Lloyd George and Millerand and their advisers were as follows, according to the French for eign office. First That it was impracticable and unnecessary to send allied troops to Poland. Second The Integrity of Poland's western front was guaranteed, (This palpably means that an effort by Ger many to use the present crisis In an attempt to regain any of the territory ceded to Poland under the treaty of Versailles would be decisively nega tived by the allies.) Third That the allies would con tinue sending munitions and skilled officers to Poland. Blockade measures would possibly be taken later. It was said, but French opinion questioned the effectiveness of. such action. Legal Ghost Wants To Wed Former Wife Chicago. Aug. 10.

THE TOPEKA AILY STATE JOURNAL-TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST, 10, 1920 liOT ON TRAIL Look for "Joe" and Wife In Coughlin Case. "The Crank" Xamed Them as Child's Kidnapers. Philadelphia, Aug. 10. Detectives were, searching for Joseph Dama chuck an J his wife. named by coun sel for Aug-usto Pasquale, "the Crank." as, the kidnapers of, Elakely Coughlin. In his alleged confession. Pasejiiael is reported to have said that a man named "Joe" and his wife were the abductors. Benjamin F. Goodman, Pasquale's attorney, declared he has Identified "Joe" as Damaehuck and that the police are "hot on his trail." Continued questioning has failed to secure much additional information from Pasquale since he made his al leged confession last week. He still maintains the missing child is alive, notwithstanding that in some .of the letters written by "the Crank" to George H. Coughlin, the father, threats were made to do away with the child unless his demands for ran som were met. In one of his letters "the Crank" said he had kidnaped a boy two years ago, seining: "They did not ccme across and the kid's in a hole in the ground now and yours is going in "alongside of him if you don't come across." Shortly after this letter was received Mr. Coughlin placed J12.000 under a trolley station outside of Norristown in response to "the Crank's" demands. The money disappeared but nothing has been heard of the child's where abouts. Pasquale is said by the aur thoritis to have admitted he got one third of the money; the remainder go ing to his pals, "Joe" and his wife.

Have read the story of "Homer Comes Home' under some ther name 1b some magaetne or ether, but just can't remem ber exactly. Suffice to say the screen version as produced by Thomas I nee and Charles Ray was eren more enjoyable thnn the magazine version. It's a romping little comedy that has its- touches of pathos, just enough of them to make the domedy all more Intertainiug. It ia the story of the eeuntry boy with big ideas and misunderstood by his towns men. Fired out of his last job he leaves 'for the eity where it Is his dream to re turn in pomp and splendor to his home town. Getting a Tacation and having aved a few hundred dollars- he spends both ia creating tne impression he is a millionaire. He gets away witu it ana at tne Jast mo ment manages to make one of his big ideas become a reality and at the same time making his bluff "stand up." Of course the story has a love theme running thru it, just nough of a love story to add spice to ihe Plot. Wonder whether it is because the riaht sort of stories are always picked out for itay tr wnetner inarue ir sucn a wnaie ef an aoton In either case, the combina tion Is always a happy one.

Euaemo Martinez, federal commander, under an old tree on a ranch five miles from San Pedro. Villa marched as far as San Pedro with his men.

He galloped up in his customary cashing style, then swung from his horse and waved his hand gayly to the little group of officers. There was a general hand shaking and then a bottle of coenac was pro duced. Villa's differences with the centra! government were speedily drowned in the fiery liquor. After the reformed bandit had taken several swallows without a chaser he passed the flask on and it went from hand to hand and from lip to hp around the circle and eventually back to Villa aeain. Friendly to "the Scourge. w After Pancho had enjoyed his sec ond turn at the bottle. .e sent it on its journey again and said with a characteristic smile: I'm ready to embrace my worst enemies."

"Mexico and Mexicans including' myself are tired of fighting. It is best now to settle down and go to work. I'm eager to show that I can work as well as fight. I'm a eoldier and I am rc-ady to obey orders." The last sentence he emphasized with a low bow and a sweeping ges ture to General Martinez, who re sponded with another bow. General Martinez later in the week will have charge of the demobilization of the Vtliista. forces. Each man 1? to be given a small ranch.

Haskln, Director, Washing ton. C. A subscriber to The State Journal, residing in Onaga, writes In regarding an article recently appearing in, this paper'in which the findings of a Cleve land grand jury were quoted, to the effect that wages of mechanics in the building trades had advanced 200 per cent and that the workmen were do ins less work than formerly. He chal lenges the truth of these statements. The State Journal has no first hand knowledge regarding the situation in Cleveland and gave the findings of the jury for what they were worth. The correspondent says: "It cannot be shown where wages on an average have advanced 100 per cent and where laborers, of all classes, do only one half the work they did in the pre-war period in ari part of the United States. 'Without any desire to disprove the correspondent's statement, it can be mentioned that here in Topeka carpen ters before the war were paid 35 cents :in hour. They now receive 87 cents, an advance of 150 per cent. Theypre war wages of painters were 37 cents; they now receive $1. Bricklayers have not received so large an advance but contractors declare that ttiey lay only ubout a third as many bricks in a day as they did before the war. It is reported that the railroads axe about to market a lot of 7 per cent bonds. This high rate of interest the public must pay. This same public, however, is selling, at par, bonds bear ing not to exceed 5 per cent. The Increased freight rates should make for the upbuilding of home in dustries. There is no good reason why cattle and hogs produced in Kansas should be shipped to Kansas City and Chicago and later back to this state in the form of fresh and cured meat, thus paying freight charges twice. There is no good reason why hides produced thruout the agricultural dis tricts should travel to far off Massa chusetts and then return to the pro ducer in the form of shoes. Why should Kansas, which is near the cot ton fields of Oklahoma and Texas, be compelled to go to New England and Georgia for cotton goods? The new street car fares are to be put on trial for a period of ninety days. Does this mean that if the publie b dissatisfied at the end of three months the old rates will be re stored? By a vote of 356 to 169 the Frenclf chamber of deputies has agreed to loan Germany 200,000,000 francs a month for at least six montha Meanwhile she is in debt to this country to the extent of $2,945,830,800 and months of Interest arrears. Uncle Sam seems to be-an easy mark. The voters probably will not be seriously misled by campaign oratory this year. They have confidence, in view of the record of the past, that no matter which party shall control the government there will be no fail ure to maintain the honor of the United States by the fulfillment of every obligation either moral or legal. On the other hand, the people also feel assured that the country will not be involved in international complications which would require the constant maintenance of armies on foreign soil and constant expenditures from the treasury on accourUfbf meddlings with affairs that -are no concern of ours. The congress can be depended upon to see to that. Just when prices seemed about to come down along comes another war, affording an .excuse for giving an ad ditional turn to the screw. Another one of the willful dozen who opposed the Wilson policies in the senate has gone down to defeat. Sen ator Gore of Oklahoma has been beat en for renomination. v The president has been relentless in his pursuit of revenge. OCR TRANSPORTATION BILLi. -The people of the United States think they pay"a big bill for railroad transportation already but V is about to become bigger They, may be sur prised to learn that their automobile bill approximately "s as big aa their railroad bill.' The Railway Age publishes statis tics, which disclose -what, it calls the astonishing fact" that the American public is spending approximately the same amount annually for running and riding in automobiles as it is spending for all of ita railroad trans portation freight, passenger, express and .mail. It points, out that if the public should find the recent advance of 11,580,000,000 in railway rates bur densome it can completely offset this additional cost of railroad transporta tion by reducing its use of automobiles 25 per cent It estimates that after the recent advances in railway rates of $1,680,000,000 a year have been put into effect the annual cost of railroad transportation to the public will be about JS, 700. 000, 000, or assuming that the average family contains five per sons, about 1 90S per family. It esti mates that the public already is spend ing over $8,000,000,000 a year, or $280 per family, for operating and riding in automobiles, 87. per cent of which are passenger cars. In the year 191J the number of mo tor vehicles of all kinds registered in the United States was 7,2,551, and at an average cost of $1,200 they repre sented an investment of $9,148,260,000. The valuation placed by the interstate commerce, commission on all railroads in its recent rate decision was only $18,900,000,000. Therefore, the public now has invested in automobiles al most one-half as much as the valua tion placed by the commission on the railways. It is estimated that the number of new cars which will be built and sold this year will be 2.250.000, while the number that will be retired from serv ice will be about 1,525,000. This would result in a net increase in cars of service of 725,000, or 3 per cent. It seems safe to assume thai an in crease of 9 M per cent in the number of cars in service will cause an In crease of at least 9 per cent, or $522,270,000, in the country's automo bile bill. This will make it in 1920 approximately $8,020,000,000. "hese estimates include nothing for expenditures made by the public for the construction and maintenance of highways for the automobiles to run on. Nor do they include anything for the economic cost of automobile acci dents. If data regarding these points were available they probably would disclose that even after the advance of $1,580,000,000 in railway rates has been made the American public will be spending as much for its automo bile transportation, much of which is a luxury, as It does for" Its railway transportation, most of wfiich is a ne cessity. AS OTHERS BEE US. The secret divulged by Senator Cap per in the North American Review, that Kansas farmers have been losing 43 cents an acre on their wheat, ap parently has not permeated so far as the office of the Los Angeles Times. Perhaps the editor of that paper does not read the Review. The Times says: In spite of the supposed shortage of farm labor, the advertised superior at tractions of the city, the ominous stories of large acreages lying desolate and barren, of once thriving farms be ing given away with a pound of soap, the middle west has come forward this season with banner crops. Heaven has smiled -on the worker who refused to be frowned out of his heritage. Again the indomitable American farmer loads the wagon of prosperity with the abundance of his unremitting toil. Now it is the business of the city to make sure that the wagon finds its way to market. Kansas once again leads the proces sion, not only because of the fertility of its fat acres, but even more because of the resolute fashion in which it has defended the freedom of its laborers against- the designs of all organized tyrannies. The Lord has taken care of the fields and Kansas has taken care of the agitators. The result is a double blessing. One county alone In Kansas has Just harvested a wheat crop of over eleven million dollars. This represents a sum of $640 for every man, woman and child in the county. Moreover, this is not the whole income of the county from its agricultural produce.. Now find out what the income in one year for every man, woman and child in New York City amounts to- then you will understand why the solid pros perity of Kansas appeals to the best brains and brawn of America. A further decline in food prices is reported by Bradstreet's. The week's index number, based on the prices per pound of thirty-one articles used for food, is $4.53, which compares with $4.57 the prevtous week and $5.25 for the t.eek ending August 71919. This number shows a loss of eight-tenths of 1 per cent from the week before and of 1S.T per cent from the like week of last year. While lower prices have been prom ised from time to time in many lines of goods. little hope has been given out regarding cotton fabrics. But now comes the Iry floods Economist with the following; Cuts in the prices of cotton fabrics are Dy all odds tie most engrossing feature of recent occurrences in the textile world. Both mill prices and the quotations vf Jobbers on brown arid bleached cottons have been revised downward: Perhaps the most spectacular of all of the reductions was the cutting of "Fruct of the Loom" price to 35 -cents by the selling agent of this famous brand. On the same goods the Job ber s quotation dropped 5 cents per yard. On no less than 48 items of brown and bleached cottons reductions of from 1- to 5 cents per iard have been made. These reductions average 2.4 per cent. Prints and ginghams have not been reduced, and the prediction is made that there will be no change for some time to come. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKPf. Director. Washington, D. C THE RISE IN FURNITURE. Chicago, 111., Aug. 7. The Ameri can home without its conglomeration of furniture is a difficult picture to imagine, but the furniture situation indicates that we may yet see a re version to the Japanese style which 4 consiaeres a lew mats and a tea table adequate equipment for housekeeping. Just now, the retailers say that they cannot supply fast enough the de mand for twin beds and floor lamps at prices several times the old rates. But, as we cut deeper into our timber re serves the prices will rise still further. until we reach a point where even the most rashly extravagant buyer will balk. Then there will doubtless come a fad for simple housekeeping, which we can only hope will take a more ra tional form than the overall episode in tne ciotnes reform. Furniture dealers are getting stock ordered a year or more ago, anJ the manufacturers have begun to recover from their war difficulties with labor and embargoes. The consumer de rives no financial gain from this les sening of the tension. He profits only to the extent that he can now spend nis money it he likes. During the war. so far as furntiure was concerend, that privilege was limited by the short age of stock, but now he is led around to look at "period" furniture, pieces which he is told represents the Chinese. Influence, and other sxhiblts pleasing to the eye and tagged with starting prices. Furniture is skyrocketing with a speed that would surprise even persons calloused to price shocks. Price Multiplies Six Times. A manufacturer entertained a con vention recently by explaining that a dressing table of cheap oak before the war sold for around $3.98. He said that last year same dresser brought $12.50, and now it would be tagged ayt least $25. The $3.98 dresser is gon4v and there is nothing cheaper to take its place. In fact, even the $25 arti cle is not- plentiful. A Slumber of manufacturers of the so-called cheap furnitures the straight oak bedroom and library sets: have stopped mak ing this grade because at its new price level it is not popular. The man who sees a cheap grade bureau marked $25 argues thus: That s a good deal to put into an ordinary and not too well made piece or goods. Guess I d better pay $10 more and get something that will look high class and last longer." At least that is how furniture dealers say cus tomers reason. The dealers bold that it is impossible to sell very cheap fur-J nHure, that4hey have tried selling it at cost, and the public, with its rising standards, refuses to give it a glance. The demand now, they say, is for mahogany, with walnut as second choice. Mahogany requires careful usage and regular rubbing and polish ing, but its wearing qualities, coupled with its aristocratic appearance cause it to be regarded as a good investment. Banks use it lavishly, for woodwork and furnishings in the offices of execu tives, and a good deal of the furni ture for organizations less pretentious than banks is also made or mahogany. To be sure when you look with awe at a massive dark red desk you are probably not feasting your eyes entire ly on imported wood, but on a combi nation of mahogany and gum. Until a few years ago the red. gum was-ce- garded as a weed tree, unfit to he used for furniture material because it warped and twisted. Then a firm found a way of overcoming this diffi culty, and now every manufacturer of mahogany pieces knows some secret tprocess of treating gum. Gum Saves Mahogany, Gum is used for legs and other parts of a piece Where the grain of the ma hogany would not show anyway. Gum takes the same polish as the mahogany top, and no one but a connoisseur would detect the difference. Manu facturers, claim prat to make a piece of furniture of solid mahogany is as great a waste of valuable wood as it was for the Cubans to lay solid ma hogany railroad ties, which they did until the extravagance of it was ex plained to then-r. Mahogany is shipped to us in large quantities from the tropics where it is apparently plentiful. Our domestic hardwoods, on the other hand hick ory, maple, walnut, ash and others are being turned into tables and side boards so fast that they are rapidly reaching extinction. The forest serv ice warns the country that for every four feet of timber cut, only one foot is being replaced by new growth. Black walnut, for instance, has be come so scarce that the government had to advertise for it, and hunt out single trees, when it was needed for gun stocks and airplane material. Even then it could not be obtained in anything like sufficient amounts. As black walnut is one of the best woods for furniture, there is a substantial fortune for the. patient Investor who will plant a grove of these trees and wait forty years for them to grow large enough to be cut protitaDiy. Planting more timber Is the only way to offset the huge inroads made yearly into the supply. Our virgin forests of hardwood have shrunk back from the coasts ami lumber centers to inaccessible regions where the mills cannot follow.- Transportation of lum ber is rapidly coming a large item in furniture prices. Besides transportation, labor is an other big factor in turning the $8.98 bureau into a $25 article. Employes at these factories claim that in the past they have been paid lower than workmen in other industries. Since the war. however, their wages have increased about 50 per cent more than have the wages in any other industry, so that any discrepancy that exists has been -practically removed. Wages of men -in the lumber mills have advanced to a point where many find it convenient to work a few days and then knock off long enough to spend their money in the nearest city. The demand for their services is so great that they know there is no dan ger of being out of work when they want it. Don't Break Your Mirror. An item which affects only certain pieces of furniture is the glass for mirrors. A piece of glass which used to cost about $4 now brings $11, and the price is still rising. It seems that there have been six big manufacturers who supplied the -furniture trade with mirrors. Recently they have been able to handle only 80 per cent of the demand, and now three of the six companies have decided to make glass for automohiles instead of house fur nishings. There will be no room for doubt as to the bad luck of breaking a mirror if you have to buy a new one. Any reader who expects to buy a piece of furniture -in the next few years will be glad to know that there is at least one thins that has a ten dency to keeping down the price of house- furnishings;- This is standardi sation. You remember how the gov ernment got the shoe manufacturers to cut down the number of styles they produced. Well, the furniture makers decided on a similar plan. In the old times manufacturers had to bid for contracts, and retailers had t2 bid for public favor, by continually offering novelties in furniture. The extreme styles which were the result of this system required extra planning and extra labor, and then the stock could rarely be sold out before the style changed. But when the lumber shortage be gan to be really felt, and labor bo came .scarce, not enough furniture could be produced to meet the de mand. This turn in affairs proved a charter of liiilrnpnriMM i ture business, since it was no longer .;1aarj w caier to caprice In order to drum tip trade.' Instead of turning all more or less freaky, the msmufac- "rvca to simpniy patterns and to cease striving for variety. n nit; vogue in Chippendale chairs with their com plicated legs, and In the other elabor ate kinds -of period furniture. In their stead makers favor such pat- wueen Anne style which is simple and still has the desirable period effect. There are so many dif ferent factories that even with, pat terns cut down to one-fourth as many aa befnrA th. m'nv- tha..

It may take us some time to get used to super-simplicity In the home, and comoination furniture would be an in termediate step. 1 Dorothy Dix Talks BY DOEOTHT DIX W aria's Richest raid Warns Writer. Partners. 2. Also the organizing of the firm of Benedict Co. will enable thousands of young people to man-v whn wise would be compelled to remain single. It is all very well to say that a man should be able to support the woman he marries. Under present economic conditions the average man mora tne luxury of an Idle wife before he is middle-aged, and by that time he is so set in his ways, and case-hardened in selfishness that he is not fit to marry. But there is no reason why any capable, industrious young couple, who are willing to work together, should not organize a business and matrimonial partnership while they are yonng enough to have the blood running red in their veins, and the wings of romance hovering over them. Moreover, the business partnership will come nearer to solving the divorce question than anything else. The rea son so many couples drift apart Is because they have no common interest to hold them together. The man is absorbed in his business, of which the woman knows nothing. The woman's days are filled with dress, with society, with clubs of which the husband knows nothing. They are so little -in touch they haven't even anything to taiK aDout. and they are so bored at home they seek affinities abroad. But the married couple who are business partners have the strongest of all bonds tying them together. They have a vital, mutual interest. They speak the same language. They1 have something they can endlessly discuss together, and you will find no husbands and wives such chums, or so united, as those who work together. The business partnership of a hus bond and wife also eliminates strife over money from the matrimonial partnership. There is no fight over every penny with a tightwad husband, nor any ruining of a generous man by extravagance when the wife shares equally with the man in the profits of the firm, and knows exactly what they can afford to spend, and Just why they can't buy a car or do over the house this year. They used to say that whenever a man lived over his store he always got rich. They say now that when ever a wife works with her husband they become "rich.

Dear Maida. ran the note, I rather expected to call on you thia evening for a last stroll on the beach as a fitting end to our "little affair," but cousin Sally has begged me to take her to the 4ast hop at the inn. With regrets, ROBERT WHITNEY. Maida, sitting on the floor before a half-filled trunk, crumpled the paper in her hand and gaxed with unseeing eyes at the chaos around her. What did it mean? He Mnew she had been ex pecting him. Hadn't he practically taken it for granted that he should see her almost every night for the last three weeks? And he had signed his name so formally Robert Whitney, instead of the familiar "Bob." Maida's blue eyes overflowed and she buried her face in her arms on the nearest support, which happened ter be a pile of freshly h-oned clothes. Partially filled packing boxes, bare bookshelves and "forlorn-looking couch denuded of its cover and pillows bore witness that this was Maida's last night at the beach. Tomorrow morning she and her mother would lock up the door of the little cottage, hand the key to the owner and take the trolley back to the city for the winter. It was true that except for an all too brief two weeks in August, she had had to go back and forth to the city every day. But Maida had come to the.- beach prepared to play a dangerous game, old as the hills and fraught with mis chief to the players. The fact that Maida's busy fingers were tapping busily at the keys of her typewriter had never prevented her lit tle shell-like ears, half submerged tho they were in waves of sunny hair, from absorbing the gossip which circulated among thfe girls of the office. She knew that such a one had been "en gaged for the summer," that so and so had had an "affair" in short, that a flirtation In which both knew that nothing serious was intended was a legitimate part of every summer out ing. And Maida, who had nineteen unso phisticated affairless summers already to her credit, decided that for once she would do as the other girls. Fortify ing her resolution, she even made public her intentions to the others, who Jollied her and begged her te) compare notes with them. A few days after Mrs. Deering and Maidawere installed in "Seaview" cottage, the boy next door invited Maida to the weekly hop at the hotel. And there she met Bob Whitney tall, browned, athletic, lively, every thing to make him an ideal figure in a summer girl's eyes. Matsa, a bit excited by the swing ing music and gay company had chat ted and laughed and danced in a way to arouse any man's interest. There had followed a call on .Bob's part, an invitation to Maida and her mother to go sailing, and bids to other festivi ties which make up the life of a tran sient summer colony. Not that he allowed himself to be come her exclusive property. Other girls were sometimes the recipients of nis attentions, and recently ne nan been going about a bit with his pretty second cousin, Sally Winters, wno Hap pened to be a stenographer in the of fice adjoining the city attorney's. With Sally's aavent, Maida had been forced to admit to herself that tragedy had come of her meant-to-be-inno-cent plan not tragedy to Bob, but to herself. For Maida had fallen in love with her victim, madly in love, and, she told herself, quite hopelessly. So this evening of the day his note had come she sat huddled In the couch hammock on the dark porcn. The one companion in whose company she had enjoyed these pleasures was basking In the favor of anotner gin, utterly unmindful of her loneliness. Bob had beaten her at her own game. But wasn't that a familiar step on the boardwalk which ran behind the cottages? Maida sat up quickly. She would like, after all, to say goodby in friendly fashion, even if everything was at an end. The steo drew nearer and as it ap proached Maidas heart beat corre- sDondmelv taster. It was iioo. "All alone?" he called gayly, as she rose to meet. "Didn t know but 1 a have to sit out the gang if I wanted to say goodby." "I thought you were going to the dance with Sally." returned Maida, for the life of. her unable to keep a note of coolness from creeping into her voice. "Well, yes." admitted Bob, "I was. but she got a bid from a handsomer man, and to tell the truth I was glad to tell her to go with him. Sally and I are first-rate pals, but well, I don't imagine, now that you're going, that you are Interest any more." he said, meaningly. Maida stood leaning against the porch railing, her hands plunged in her sweater pockets. "Do you think you would care to stroll to the rock?" Bob asked, in a more otertain manner than he felt. She hesitated, then decided that she would see the game thru no matter what it cost her not to let him sus pect. "All right," she answered, list lessly. A few minutes later and they, were seated on a huge bowlder at the base of which beat the restless sea. High up was riding delicate silvery moon. The silence, which had been un broken during the short walk, was ended suddenly by Bob. who spoke in a strange voice. From the words whieh followed the girl shrank shrunk until her face grew pale in the moonlight and her eyes looked wan and tired. "You summer girls are maddening." he said low and bitterly. "You're not the only one. But you are the first one who has affected me. Oh, I know I've no business to talk to you like this, but perhaps if I do it may save some other fellow from the torments I've suffered ever since Sally told ne." "Told you what?" asked Maida. "That one day when she was in your office for a minute she overheard you telling the girls how you were go ing -to amuse yourself this summer that you knewlt was all right when both sides understood. Sally told me, because I had been fool enough to let her see that I was getting to care for you. Shethought she spoke in time, but she didn't." concluded Bob, grimly. "I listened to you," cried Maida in dignantly. "You must listen to me. What you say is partly true. I did in tend to carry on like the other girls, but I didn't know then that I would meet vou. and I'm sorry Her voice faltered. Bob was gazing wistfully at' her flushed face. "Maida," he said gently, "you don't mean- Maida lowered her lashes over her smudgy blue eyes, but not before Bob had seen the lovelight in them. Hardly yet comprehending he held out his arms. "Come to me, Maida, if it is to be for all time not for- a summer." And Maida went. (Copyright. 1020, by th McClure Keirs- paper Bynaicat. JUST A GIRL By JANE PHELPS A GROWING FRIENDSHIP. CHAPTER 63. Harold took me to a restaurant for supper. It was a quiet, inexpensive place, but cleanand attractive. I would have enjoyed the good food, and watching the people, had it not been for our meeting Mike and Joe; but that had left me out of conceit with myself and everything else. We walked part of the way home; then Harold proposed we ride. "I don't want to tire you all out the first time. I hope to spend many Sun day afternoons with you," he remark ed while we waited for the street car. When he said goodnight he held my hand a little longer than was neces sary, and It made me a bit uncomfort able. I didn't want him to make love to me yet I had so few friends, so few acquaintances that I hated to say or do anything to hurt him. When I told Mary about meeting Mike and Joe, and what they had said about being on their way to call, she was furious. "The nerve of them fellows!" she exclaimed. "What did that Mr. Moore say?" "Nothinp- whilethey were around. Afterwards he said ire would have theh arrested if they annoyed us." "Why didn't he knock them down?" "He isn't the fighting kind, I guess." I flushed as I recalled my own feelings on the subject. -Well, I don't care for that sort! He might- be all right at that, but if he was my fellow I'd rather he gave them a hit in the Jaw himself, than to talk of arresting them." I laughed at Mary's expression, while I could but acknowledge that I felt much the same. "I am afraid Mary," I said after a time, "that meeting me with a man may make them bolder than they have been." "You mean Mike and Joe?" "Yes." "Don't worry! We'll find some way to keep away from them." "They must live near here some where. We may have to move on their account."- "Not on your life! This place suits us, is cheap and decent. We ain't going to be drove out by them- two sports." I, too, felt we should remain where we were. Mrs. Lynch was kind to us, often now she did little things for us extras that made us feel that some how she cared about us. It is strange how a little kindness affects one when lonely. Even a poor, hard-working Irish woman's thoughtfulness helped me at this time, and I was sorely in need of help. Harold Moor seemed changed after the Sunday I went walking with him. He assumed a protective air, and now he never tipped me. Often, however, I would find a rose by my plate, and once he left two tickets for a- lecture at the Y. M. C. -A. Mary and I went, and he took us' home, altho we told him it was unnecessary. "He'll be asking you to marry him pretty soon." Mary said as we ta)ked about him before going to bed. "Nonsense!" f'No it ain't nonsense. I saw the signs tonight."- "Bnt Mary, I have constantly re fused to be with him. It is nearly three weeks since I went out on Sun day with him." "That don't make no difference! Didn't you tell me he had, stopped tipping you when you. wait on him? Don't he keep bringing you posies? Ain't I seen he can't half eat his IS cents worth for watchin' you? He's got it bad, Zena, awful bad." '"I don't agree with ,ysiu. Mary. But if he is serious I am sorry for him, and I must not go out with him any more." I sighed. Even the sort, of attention Harold Moore was able to give me had helped pass the time. Now I must send him away. I wondered if he would feel about me as I did about Kenneth Lawrence. I would pity him if he did. Then, as always, I forgot all about everything in thoughts of Kenneth.

For what is a world without a mind in a body, to hunt it out? Solomon once said that the world was In a man's heart. And so we are sensitive to the least impressions of beauty and wonder if we but let the fingers of natural In fluence touch the chorda of our re sponsive centers, and there compose, as they get "the feel" of what we most desire. V No one ever sees beauty in the' same way. any more than one tastes snd knows that what is pleasurable to him Is pleasurable In exactly the same way to someone else. It is well that this is so that In stead of a single viewpoint, there may be any number for any interpretative mood. For we see in combinations. To some minds a certain picture may be but a few masses little in interest or appeal. To others the same few masses may scatter in a thousand gradations of delicate colorings and shadings. And the brain of those so appreciative may, in turn, mix eacn separate combination of natural love liness Into numberless newer tints. It is the things which are hidden in our bodies which give us hints aa. to what we may do and become. Some of us, however, wait -until .the plastic Influences have hardened and lost their cunning. Hazlett tells in one of his essays of how he went from house to house among those 'of his wealthy friends who owned great works of art, only to discover that he had triumphed over these owners, with their vast collec tions, because he was able to enjoy their pictures more than they did themselves. 8o he proved that appre ciation is much greater than owner ship.

This being sermon day In the column we find our text in August Jaedicke, late banker of Hanover, Kan., more. recently a fugitive from Justice and now restored, probably for the period of his natural ltfe, to the bosom of his family. Hanover Is a remote commun ity aKi Jaedicke. thru the bank l.e in herited from his father and numerous other business Interests, ruled It. He was the town rich man. the leading citizen. He was the father confessor and the confidential adviser of his flock. In envious neighboring com munties it was said there was two Gods in Hanover Jaedicke and the Almighty. One day last May Jaedicke closed his bank and went away, leaving his family behind. Investigation of the bank's affairs revealed the fact that he had stripped the communitv. He had wrecked the bank and bilked friend and foe alike. The sum of his -defalcations ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The town was "clean." August had laundered It of Its last surplus dollar and had disap peared, leaving no trace. The sleuth hounds of the law ran August to cover in July. They found him in a little town in Louisiana, handy man in a garage, his money gone. They took him back to Han over ana to tne county rent ror ar raignment fjr his crime. The Judge fixed his bond at $50,000. His neigh bora In Hanover fought for the priv- O l--.'-.!'lS a 1113 1H.11V1.-I11C111. He needed only $50,000- His friends and neighbors would have underwrit ten his legal paper for half a million and begged for the opportunity to do so. And then Jaedicke returned to Hanover, where he was received with open arms by his family and the townsmen he had "trimmed.' Likely he will never be brought to trial. The Improbability '.of securing a Jury that would convictShim already has im pressed itself upon the officers of the law. The people like the man who praises them; they dearly love the-one who kicks them in the slats. They are, for the most part, kindly disposed and honorable in their intentions, but they have no sense. We trespass upon the prerogatives of the sporting pages long enough to direct attention to another shipwreck. The New York- Americans are sinking. We shall vote for Mr. Harding, pro vided the mush-melders do not finally so disgust us as to cause us to re nounce the responsibilitiee of the bal lot. But Mr. Harding is far from be ing a satisfactory candidate. Even if he Is elected, we apprehend we shall be compelled to go on working as usuat. And that, by the way, is the reason for most of the dissatisfaction with both the Republican and Democratic nominees. The people want a presi dent who will reliove them of the ne cessity of earning a living. Neither Harding nor Cox had agreed to do it. We have noticed, in motoring about the country, that the gentleman who declines to give a fair share of the road is nearly always driving one of Henry's cars. We cast no reflection on Henry's worthy motor vehicles and aim no re proach at the many excellent persons who drive them, but if a man has the' instincts of a "hick," a Henry car will bring it out. We do not know who finally gets the money, but we know where it comes from. Recently Adelaide paid $3.35 for what Is familiarly known as "a leg of Iamb." We can recall a time when one could have bought a flock of sheep for $1-36, and the change from the transaction would have been sufficient An amount to spend a day viewing the wonders of a circus. A woman can inherit money and re tain her sense of fitness and value, but marrying it usually makes a fool of her. A great opportunity to vote forthe right will shortly present itself to'the women. The trouble is that the women will not be able to agree as to what is right an dwhat Is wrong and will split about fifty-fifty on the proposition. Whisky haa been abolished.

I have been going with him ever since Christ mas. He tells ma he lot-es me and wants me to marry him. Tbe trouble is that every Saturday night he has an appointment to see another girl whom he has been going with for over two years. He says he goes with her for reasons which I never knew. In all other ways he Is true to me and re spectful. I have had dates with him and broken them and he never seemed to object except he says he is' sorry for it. Do you think he really loves me? Shall I continue to go with him if he goes With i the other girl on Saturday nights? IN" LOVE. Indeed you should not marry the man unless he gives up the other wo man or gives you an entirely satisfac tory explanation regarding his visits to her. It is difficult -to believe that he has any reason except that he en Joys her company. -It is impossible for me to say whether or not he loves you. I should think he would want your company only if his love were deep enough to warrant marriage. Dear Mrs. Thompson: What would you think of a girl If years old, nearly 17, meeting a young man six years her senior and within two hours going riding with him and also the next day? And what would you think or ner it she -would tell this man he could not j kiss her for she did not think It was -i.-l.fr frh.n liirnMl Rrnnnil N rill 1-fr him. saying she felt so "helpless" when he would hug and kiss her? PETE. In every mall I get letters like Jne above, most of which I Ignore because they are minding some one else's busi ness. I often wonder If the person asking the question would not act In the same way if circumstances fur nished the opportunity."

Suffered Six Years Is Now Well and Happy, She Says. have not only gained fifteen pounds by taking Tanlac but have gotten rid of a bad case of stomach trouble that had bothered me for six years and am a well and happy woman again," recently declared Mrs. JIary Jackson, of 2330 Jackson St., Wichita, Kan. "I surely was in a deplorable con dition before I started on Tanlac. I had no appetite to speak of and the little I did force myself to eat would sour on my stomach and form gas that bloated me up until 1 could hard ly breathe. I often woke up at night with a feeling like I was being smoth ered and never got any restful sleep. 1 suffered a great deal from consti pation and dizzy spells and also had such pains across the small of the back It was agony to stoop over. Finally I became so weak I could not walk around the house and in fact could hardly get in and out of bed. But th? first bottle of Tanlac made me feel better and I soon had a splen did appetite and, could eat anything 1 wanted without it disagreeing with me a particle. I began to put on weicht rapidly until now I have ac tually gained fifteen pounds. I am no longer bothered with constipation and the pains have disappeared from tny back. 1 sleep as sound as a babe every night and get up in the morn ing feeling so fresh and strong that my housework is no trouble to me at all. I want all who suffer as I- did to know what a splendid medicine Tanlac is for I am sure it would help them as it did me." Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully McKariand Drug Co., 835 Kansas Ave., and 729 Kansas Ave.. Adv. I SUFFERED THREE YEARS Finally was Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

I can now do twice ai much work and I recommend the Vegetable Compound to other women. You can use these facts as a testimonial." Mrs. M. Theaix Besset, 46 Chestnut St., Lowell, Mass. Why women will continue to suffer so longr is more than we can understand, when they can find health in Lydia E. rinkham's Vegetable Compound!

MEANS ONLY 6.5 CENTS FARE Tickets To Go on Sale on Kan sas Avenue Soon. Eight Sew Cars To Be Deliv ered in Thirty Days. Plans are practically complete for the inauguration of the increased I street car fare in Topeka beginning the morning of Monday, August 16. Service on several lines will be changed to meet the traffic shifted from the lines abandoned by the order of the industrial court. Tickets will be placed on sale at the traction com pany offices, at the Edison office and at another Kansas avenue location. Screen guards outside the windows of every street car in the city have been delivered and are being placed on cars this week. In a few days all cars will be equipped with these safety devices. Kight new "one-man" cars of the latest air conVfol will be in service in thirty days, or in time for the Free Fair. A. M. Patten, assistant general manager of the Illinois Traction com pany, announced today. Thes cars were ordered last winter. Additional Revenue $45,000. General Manager Patten stated that the increased fares allowed by the in dustrial court would bring S45.000 ad- j ditional gross revenue annually to the company. "I figure that the so-called 8-cent fare means really 6M cent fare." Pat ten said. "With tickets selling at 2i for $1.50 and 15 for $1 the greatest portion of our revenue will come thru the ticket route. We will receive 8 cents for only a single cash fare." The 30 percent increase in wages allowed by the industrial court amounts to $52,000 a year, according to court figures and $70,000 a year, railway figures. The court counted on only car and shop employes but the railway includes men working on tracks and lines. The Sen Ice Cliangos. Following the abandonment of the West Eighth, Clay cut-over and fair ground loop, several changes in rout ing Will be made Monday. Two cars will be added to the Low-man-West Tenth line, giving ten min ute service instead of 15-minute cars to this section of the city. The Shorey "stub" and the South Topeka "stub" will be combineJ, giving thru cars from Shorey to youth Topeka on a 15-minute schedule thru the day and 10 minutes morning and evening. A Santa Fe station service to the Kan sas avenue loop also will be added. Washburn-Huntoon patrons receive 7 M -minute service in the rush hours, the cars operating on Twelfth street instead of over the Clay street cut over. The railway company is making ex tensive repairs over the lines. Track work Is being handled by a large gang of men. The increased fare and abandoned service ordered is effective for only ninety days. If it proves successful the court order probably will be made permanent, it was said at the state house today.

NOT IIP TO NORMAL Government Report on Kansas Crops Out Today. Corn To Be 85 Per Cent of Aver age, E. C. Paxton Reports. SECOND LARGEST OATS CROP Estimates Rye Yield at 18 Mil lion Bushels. Wheat Yield Estimated at 123 y Million Bushels. I The August government crop report for .Kansas, issued today by E. C Pax ton, agricultural statistician for Kan sas, estimates that the Kansas corn promises 83 per cent of a normal yield, compared with 69 per cent a year ago and 58 per cent for the ten years aver age. Paxton estimates the average yield per acre at 22.95 bushels and the total crop at 128,382,000, which would be the largest in the state since 1915. The Paxton report places the wheat yield for Kansas at 123,600.009 bush els, the same as the estimate in the Washington government crop report issued Monday. The second largest oats crop in the history of the state is predicted with a yield of 56,000,000 bushels. Kansas, it is'estimated. will produce 18.970.096 bushels of barley and 2,204,000 bush els of rye. Tho Paxton Report.

The counties of the Solomon Taller are (specially well favored. Ill the southern third of Kansas are twenty coun ties that show average yields of 10 bushels or leps. f the total winter wheat crop in the l nited States this year 2:1.2 per cent is found in Kansas. In addition to the winter wheat it is estimated that the state linn also produced 3JC1.000 bushels of spring wheat this year, mostly in the northwestern and west central counties. The grade and tiuality of wheat produced this se.-soa is especially fine, being rated at Ofi per cent, allowing 100 per cent to represent si high medium grade. This compares with a rating of SI per eent In WW ill) per -ent in IMS, ifc! per rent in 11(17. iir per cent in 1910, and 80 per cent in 101.1.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1920 ASKS 9-HOUR DAY Industrial Court Recognizes Grain Car Emergency. Kefases Short Hours and Wa?e Hike to Employes. SERIOUS'" MILL SITUATION Car Shortage Creates Necessity for 3fore IVork. Erfdence in Case of Nonunion Workers' Plea. The shortage of gTain cars is now affecting the wages and working con ditions of laborers employed in Kansas mills. In making public its findings in the case Jri which nonunion employes ot the Kansas Flour Mills were seeking an increase in pay and shorter hours the court of industrial relations took cognizance of "the car situation and the handicap under which it is forcing the mills to operate. The court refused to issue an order granting the men either an increase in wages or a re duction in hours, but sucested that the mill put its employes on the basis of a. 9-hour day and pay them over time for all extra hours they put in at their work. The unorganized Great Bend em ployes appealed to the court several months ago to grant them relief from the 12-hour day they hav been com pelled to work and to give them an increase in wages. Evidence was taken and it was suggested that the em ployes and the mill officials sret to gether. This was not done, however, and, today the findines in the case were made public with recommenda tions, and it was suseested that if the recommendations were not carried out. an official order would be forth coming. TiMhnrr the Men? After the complaint of the men had been filed, it was reported to the court that four of the men had been dischareed because of the complaint and the attorney general's office and the county attorney of Barton county have been investigating this report, but have not taken any official action. In their complaint the men set out that they were compelled to work welve hours a day. gmng to work at j o'clock in the morning and workinc until 7 at night, with an hour relief at noon when part of the men 4 id tile work of the-others who were eating They charged that the mill was not paying them an adequate living wage. Emergency Recognized. The court. In making its findings, held that the men were loyal and faithful workers, and deplored the fact that they were compelled to put in so long hours. However, the pres ent situation in the milling industry was held to be an emergency and the court stated that it did not feel justi fied in ordering the company to short en its houra. 'The court finds that the day is too long." the findings read. '"but the pres ent condition constitutes an emergency and the court would not be warranted in establishing an eight-hour day. and finds that the mill should pay the men upon a nine-hour basis and if ex tra hours are worked overtime should be paid. The mill officials admitted that the men are required to work twelve hours a day, but said there were many short rest periods during the day and that the men actually put in only between seven and eight hours working. The records in the case show that the flour men make $4 a ,day. the packers $4.5 and the second millers a montn. Marltn. Tel.

High prices for livestock in crease the producer's income. Low prices decrease it and even result in losses. Similarly, high prices for meat increase con sumer's expenses. But Swift Company as a middleman doe not benefit by high or low prices. Our income depends not on a high level of prices or a low level, but rather on the margin between the live stock price and the meat and by-products price. The company's only concern, in whether prices should be high or low, is that they should be high enough, to-satisfy pro ducers and low enough to please consumers; but over the move ment of these prices Swift Company has no control. Swift Company is compelled by competition to pay high enough prices for livestock to secure an adequate supply. We must sell meat at a price low enough to make it move. We endeavor also, between the two prices, to secure a margin large enough to pay all expenses and yield a fair profit Ourprofitfor 1919 averagedless than two cents on each dollar of sales, or 6 per cent on money invested.

POLICE TO GET WAGE HiKE Understood Firemen Will Get 15 Per Cent Increase. Topeka Must Economize Dur ing "ext Year. The city tax levy on Topeka prop erty for 1921 is 1.36 mills. The city commissioners at thelr meeting this morning passed an ordi nance levying this amount, based upon the 1920 city valuation of $68. 537,947. They also passed the budget for next year, totaling $755,053, which is an increase of $34,052 more than that of 1920. The total tax levy this year was 10.7 mills. The passage of the ordinance today ended two months of difficult work on the part of the commissioners. They often; worked late into the night trying to make the available revenue cover the needs of the city for next year. It developed forcibly that To peka must economize during the next twelve months. l"Av Salary Increases. With the exception of the police and fire departments, few salary in creases were allowed. It is under stood that the firemen are to get a fifteen per cent increase, effective January 1. 1921. A considerable amount is allowed for increases in the police department, altho it is under stood this department already is en joying part of the increase allowed under, the raise granted July 1 this year. Tbe firemen had asked for a thirty por cent increase but the money to srant this request was not avail able, the commissioners stated. Increases are shown in every de partment except that of parks and public property. More to Commissioners. The lesislature last March increased the salaries of the mayor from $2,500 to $3,000 a year and the commission ers from $1,800 to $2,500 a year. The raise went into effect at once. This had to be taken care of for 1921 and accounts for the apparent increase in the salaries of the mayor and com missioners.

Increases in police salaries are show in the budget for the mayors department! In som! cases part of the increase was allowed July 1 and paid from excess funds then in the city treasury, it was said.

The food inspector was allowed $8 500 and $15.30 was auow for public buildings as against $9,66 this year. Water-Llsrlit Cost $245,808. The entire cost of operating the wa ter and light departments next year is estimated at $245,808. Commissioner Wilbur Stanfield will get $37,737 of this from the general fund for the electric light department and $20,376 from the special lighting fund for the special lighting. The cost of operat ing the waterworks, estimated at $187,635. will be defrayed by that de partment's revenue. Ths increase in salaries and mater ials will eat up every cent of the bud get for next year, it is believed. Uttle chance is seen for improvements in the citv's parks, streets and public build ings. The law forbids transferring monev from one fund to another so that if one fund runs short and the other over, nothing can be done except to do without.

Police were searching today for Chicago's latest Jesse James, a negro who single handed sought to hold up the dining car steward of an incoming Pennsyl vania express train well within the city limits.

As in the famous Lucky Strike cigarette, this toasted flavor is delicious! You see, when Lucky Strike is toasted the heat closes the pores in the Burley leaves. So this improved flavor stays there for months years until released by being lighted io your pipe. You know the method of the bee with the honey-comb. The flavor is always there inside. This is because the bee puts a thin coating of wax over the honey and seals it in so it lasts forever. Exactly the same idea with Lucky Strike, The flavor is there sealed in.
