Can Paralyze England's Indus tries Six Weeks. MAY FORGE RAILROAD MEN OUT Trend, However, 'ot to Sympathetic Strikes. Call Food Rationing for Island May Be Government Move. London, Oct. ID. The British gov ernment has accepted the challenge of the striking coal miners for a fight to the finish. As a million men began leaving the mines today In response to a strike call. Premier Lloyd George Issued an official statement placing all the blame upon the strikers and asking co-operation of the people to avert an Industrial crisis. The premier intimated the govern ment was confident of the outcome and urged there be no alarm. He gave assurance of an equitable distri bution of fuel supplies. May lie Sympathy Strikes. Possibility of a sympathetic strike by the railway workers was seen in the action of their executive committee which declared, following a confer ence today, 'gerious consequences" would result from defeat of the min ers, and called a special meeting of delegates for Wednesday to decide what action shall be taken. Iron and steel plants, threatened with ultimate paralyzatloh were antic ipating this situation by closing down voluntarily. Premier Lloyd George Issued a mes sage to the nation this afternoon, throwing the blame for the strike upon the miners and urging co-operation of the public. He said there was no need for alarm regarding fuel sup plies and assured the people ample and fair distribution will be made. Cot Lights Is Order. Electric signs and inside Illumina tion of shops after they had closed have been ordered discontinued. Families have been Intruded to reduce their consumption of coal a hundred weight a week. Industrial concerns have been told to reduce consumption of light and power. The transport ministry has stated officially railway passenger service will not be curtailed until people have been given an opportunity to reach their homes. Then it will be cut down from 10 to 20 per cent. Suburban and city service will be maintained Indefi nitely. Non-essontial freight will be cut down as the shortage is felt. According to the board of trade, public -utilities can be continued three months after production of coal ceases. r Want Fuel From United States. Coal exporters are negotiating for purchases from the United States and China to fulfill their contracts on the continent. Winston Churchill, addressing a meeting of liberals, deplored the coal strike as "a dark shadow upon the work of reconstruction. '"The strike Is a blow to the pros perity of every industry in the United Kingdom and to every struggling pop ulation in Europe." he said. The stoppage of coal exports, while serious to Great Britain as a whole thru cutting off of government profits, is probably even mure serious for countries like France. Italy and Bel gium struggling against the devasta tion of war. All Miners Quit Jobs. Miners responded solidly to the call for a nation-wide coal strike today. Reports from the coal fields de clared the men were swarming out of the mines, many refusing to wait for the change in shifts. By midday, It was estimated that more than a million miners and aux iliary workers had been affected. Only the pumping engineers and maintenance staffs wore remaining in the mines as an Insurance against flooding or deterioration of the ma chinery. Admit Chanco They'll Be Beaten. Many of the men sullenly admitted that "we are likely to be beaten," but maintained they could stay out for at least six weeks. No disorders were anticipated, with the possible exception of the more ex citable Welshmen, but the stubborn-! riess of the northerners and the Scots j was expected to embitter industry for many months. Iron and steel plants in Yorkshire were reported closing down. Twenty thousand workers In the Teeside district were expected to be Idle by Monday. Triple Alliance to Help. Officials of the triple alliance, which includes miners, transport workers and railway employes, will hold a meeting later in the week to review the situa tion. It Is difficult to ascertain the exact attitude of the triple alliance as an organization toward the strike. A dispatch from Liverpool today aid there are no reserve stock of coal avanauie ior bunkering purposes. In I view of this. It was believed, one of i vne nr.it errccts of the strike will be the holding up of shipping. May Ration Foods.

At its head will be Peter Donohue, who has been connected with the department of .immigration twenty years. "What this country needs, most of all, of course, is more farm help.

Alvaro Obregon, president-elect of Mexico, declared during a visit here today on behalf of greater friend ship between the southwest and Mex ico. "I am sure the government of Mex ico will do everything necessary, ad justing itself to every moral right and law without exaction from any I source," Obregon said. Pay All Just Debts. j Obregon's statement was In reply to j a direct question as to whether Mexico would accept conditioss for recogni-. tion which "would not affect her na tional dignity," as outlined in a state ment from Provisional President De la Hucrta in Mexico City. He declared that Mexico would pay all her just debts, and that Mexico has no intention of confiscating property. He "covered" a question relative to his j position on the League or nations Dy saying his "small knowledge of the league prevents me at this time from giving a full and concise, statement." That Mexico is already at peace was forcibly emphasized by the president- i elect. Most of the points covered by Obregon in an Interview today were in accordance with De la Huerta's state ment, but the president-elect empha- sized, he believes that Mexico can work out her government and make 1 conditions in that country so stable and just that this country will not have to tell Mexicans how to conduct itself to obtain recognition.

Tulsa, Okla., Oct. 16. After a pur suit that extended thru the entire night and carried possemen thru four Oklahoma counties, into .Kansas and back again thru a wild and broken section of this state, four bank robbers who late yesterday afternoon held up and robbed the bank of Alluwe. Al luwe, Okla., of $2,000 in silver and currency and $3,000 worth of liberty bonds, were successful in eluding their pursuers. Entering the bank at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon a lone bandit cov ered the cashier, a woman bookkeeper and a customer with a revolver, order ing the cashier to place all the bank's funds in a canvas sack. In front of the bank a heavy touring car stood, engine running and a driver at the wheel. Posse in Close Pursuit. Obtaining the money the bandit ran to the car," throwing the money into the front seat and climbed Into the rear seat with his companions, who had been left as lookouts. Traveling at a terrific rate of speed the "bandit car shot north out of Alluwe towards Kansas. Fifteen minutes after the robbery a posse of fifty men were in pursuit. Three miles north of Alluwe. Frank Beau, 6 -year-old son of a prominent farmer, ran into the middle of the state highway and was killed by the possemen's car. Trailing the bandits Into Edna, Kan., at midnight, the man hunters were led back into Oklahoma, down thru Mayes county to the western boundary where broken and hilly country afforded the robbers safe re treat. It was in this vicinity section that James Boyes and the Hart gang were able to evade arrest for years. Never In Shooting Range. At daylight this morning the posse, composed of 100 men. gave up the chase.. It was announced that the GET BIG OIL WELL Red Star Company of Topeka Has Gusher. Inftial Production of Peakody Find Is 2,000 Barrels. The Red Star Oil company, with headquarters in Topeka, has broken into another oil field In the Peabody district, which promises to be one of the biggest finds of that region. At 10 o'clock last night the second well on the Bodwell Lease, owned by the company, was drilled down five feet from the oil sand. The oil broke through the remaining barrier by its own pressure, and rose 1900 feet in the casing. This morning, with the drill not yet into the oil sand, the oil was running over the top of the casing. J. F. W. Renker, president of the company, has every reason to believe, he stated this morning, that the well will produce 2,000 barrels of oil per day. The well is the nearest one to the town of Peabody, and its coming in has been a sensational chapter in the history of the oil operations there. The company holds a lease of 80 acres around the well which has just come in. Six weeks ago, at the same hour of the same day of the week, the first well was brought in and has been producing between 500 and 600 barrels of oil per day since that time. There is- room on the lease, Mr. Renker said this morning, for at least a dozen more wells, which will be put down at once. A firm of New York property appraisers recently reported to the government that the property was worth more than one million dol lars. The new well had reached a depth of 2.490 feet when the oil bubbled up inside the casing. The conditions of the strata under, the ground in the field are so well known that the drill ers were able to tell within a few feet of when they were on the point of getting to the oil. Renker was appointed by the fed eral court more than two years ago to reoganize the Kansas-Missouri Oil syndicate, which had failed, and has been working against difficulties ever since, in the development of the com pany s holdings, it is said. Last March, while in Wichita on other business, he met the man who then owned the Bodwell lease. The owier was in financial difficulties, ac cording to reports, and wanted to un load. Mr. Renker investigated the field, purchased the lease for the Red Star company, and ordered a rig into action at once. The first well, brought in on Friday, August 13, was the re-', suit. The second well was started as soon as the first had proved the na ture of the ground. The other oil interests are gathering around the new strike and are prepar ing to shoot down holes as rapidly as possible. The head offices of the company are located at 822 Kansas avenue, and the main headquarters are to be kept in Topeka while the operations are continued. Renker said this morning. "Topeka is a good town to live In. and we're going to stay here." he said. The income from the first well, it is said by local men in touch with the situation, is about $900 per day. The new well should produc a revenue of more than $8,000 per day. "There is every reason to believe that the other twelve wells which we are going to put down will be just as good as the one which came in last night, Renker said this morning. New Break Jn Market. New York. Oct. 1 6. There was a further severe break in the price of cotton on the exchange here this morning with all active deliveries making new fow records for the sea son. Contracts for December deliv ery sold off to 19 cents a pound, or a full cent below closing quotation of yesterday, owing to continued pres-' sure of southern offerings and liquida tion by recent buyers who had antici pated a rally. men. evidently familiar with the mountainous country, had reached a back trail and fled toward Joplin, Mo. Reports last night to the effect that one of the bandits had been killed was. denied today by C. F. Gowdy, county attorney of Nowata county, and the sheriff of Rogers county. The posse was never in shooting distance of the bandits, it was said. Two Deaths Reported. County Attorney Gowdy who spent the night with the posse declared to day that he had evidence sufficient to convince him that there were five members in the band of robbers and that while two of the men did the work, the others Joined the band and escaped with them. He also said he was of the opinion that the escaped robbers had gone to Kansas City in stead of stopping at Joplin. Two deaths have been woven into the robbery, one near Alluwe. when a car belonging to one of the members of the posse ran down and killed a seven-year-old boy, and the other when the posse discovered an alleged store robber near Catale, about TO miles northeast of here, and shot htm to death in his attempt to escape. The sheriff of Ciaremore, Okla., a member of the posse, declared he was in no way connected with the bank robbers. Sheriff Says "Slaughter Gang." The sheriff of Nowata county to day announced that it had been defi nitely established that the robbery of the bank at Alluwe, Okla., yesterday afternoon was staged by a gang led by Tom Slaughter, said to have a long record as a highwayman. A year ago Slaughter and his gang robbed a bank at Petty, Texas, making away with several thousand dollars, it is alleged. He is believed to have headquarters somewhere along the western edge of Arkansas and it is thought he will return there. DEFY ALL ORDERS Oklahoma Miners Refuse to Qit "Pay Vacations.!'

Barnett and Daniels said they never received it. Altho Barnett in his letter to Rus sell calling for an investigation said: "Indiscriminate killing had been go ing on for some time," Secretary Dan iels declared there had only been six or seven cases of illegal executions.

FOODS LEAD IN GENERAL FALL ON THE MARKET Present Price Slump Permanent Declare Washington Experts. Level of Prices Paid Farmers Drops 15 Per Cent. SBGAfl FALLS MOST RAPIDLY Decline Will Slow Up Soon, Says Secretary Houston. Will Take Years to Get Back to Old Level. Washington, Oct. 16. Food is now leading all other necessities in the downward sweep of prices. The level of prices paid farmers for their products declined 15-6 per cent during September, according to re ports to the agricultural department covering the entire country. Consumers already have begun to benefit from this sweeping decline, other reports show. Prices paid the farmer on October 1 thruout the United States averaged, according to the agricultural depart ment: White potatoes. 11.35 per bushel; sweet potatoes, 1.61 per bushel; ap ples, $1.33 per bushel; butter, S4.1 cents per pound; eggs, 50.1 cents per dozen; chickens, 26.4 cents per pound; and wheat, $2.14 per bushel. Retail prices of clothing and more than 250 other commodities still are on the down grade, government re ports show. Say Decline PerniunenK Numerous expressions of opinion by high goverment officials indicate price declines already recorded are regarded as the beginning of a permanent de cline in the general cost of living. Secretary of the Treasury Houston is one who believes the crest of high prices has been reached. It may take years, however, for the general le cline to complete its cycle, Houston said. Governor Harding of the federal re serve board is another official who has declared the decline is a perma nent beginning of lower prices. Value of the dollar has Increased nearly IS cents,- government records show. The dollar ia worth approximately 65 cents, compared with its pre-war 1914 pur chasing power. Two months ago, the dollar stood for only 37 cents. Clothing Way Down. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 16. Price reduction here resulting from the cut started by Henry Kord runs from 20 to 40 per cent in clothing both for men and women. All leading clothing stores have announced decided reduc tions, and all explain In their adver tisements that tho lower prices are due to lower wholesale rates. Woolf Brothers, leading clothiers, announced a flat cut of 20 per cent on everything in the Btore, except arti cles on which they had no price con trol. This concern stated some prices were cut in- some instances cloise to cost and printed a cost chart showing they were selling shoes nt approxi mately 25 to 60 cents profit per pair. This concern also announced its books were open to the public to prove its assertions. Sugar to 12 Cents. Sugar is down at some places to 12 cents, while at other stores, 16 cents is asked. Soda fountains are cutting a nickel off of the price of most mixtures, and the manager of the Sweetheart Shop in the fashionable residence district predicts further cuts due to decrease in cost of materiols. Harzfeld's high-class women's store advertises suits up to $135 for $75, while their competitors, "Kline's." of fer "ultra smart" suits at $4 3. Other stores are advertising "sensational coat sales" and telling of pood buys at the wholesale markets. Wearing apparel seems to be the main lines cutting, fmtslde of the automobile reduction Food prices have not dropped here anywhere near in comparison to cloth ing. AU Foods Affected. Chicago. Oct. 16. Commodities here affected by the price cutting wave sweeping the country include practi cally all essentials for eating and wearing, according to merchants to day. Commodities which experienced de clines, include: "The food problem is clearing and the retailers will soon estnlilirh prices in proportion to those existing before the war,' he said. Coal Drop Registered. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 16. While some commodities have dropped in price here, business men s.ild today that a genuine "satisfying" drop can not be expected until there is a de cline from the present level of wages. All kinds of foods in restaurants have dropped from 10 to 15 per cent. Soft coal dropped $1 per ton and flour fell $1.50 on the barrel wholesale and 60 cents on the retail price. Cloth Follows Lead. New York, OcK 16. Following the trend of lower prices In other com modities the cotton goods market for the last week has registered declines running far beyond anything ever known in the history of the trade. Aa low as 10 cents was accepted for 38 Vt Inch 64x60's that sold as high as 26 cents In April Today a new price of 20 cents ia announced on fruit of the loom bleached muslins, which Is 20 cents a yard down from the high price on agent's hands during the war. Hope 4-4 muslins were cut to 17 44 cents a yard, the top price having been 34 cents early in the year. It now is expected t'-at the targe printers of percales and prints will abandon the policy of protection on their goods, and a wide open market is predicted when new prices are fin- ally decided on which may not ba until late this month. One line of denims at J2tj cents down from 47 V4 cents. Is not expected to marie the low points as other n-.anu-facturers are yet to be heard from. Cotton yarn markets have continued dull a-nd weak with prices al lot low est points yet this year.

THE- TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER-16,-;1920 IROM NEW ANGLE t Senator- Harding Jfow Scores Wilson for "Waiting." American .Manhood Disgraced by Slow Entry in War, FINISHING VH1HLW1H0 TRIP G. 0. F. Nominee to St. Louis v Wiere Party Badly Split. Declares Military Service in America Must Be Voluntary. With Senator Harding En Boute to St. Louis, Oct. 16. Off on the last leg of his present speaking trip. Senator Hardin? today faced a heavy day of .rear end speeches thru Indiana and Illinois on his way to St. Louis, where aa speaks tonight. Because of the split In the Republi can organization In Missouri, Harding's schedule was arranged so he arrives in St. Louis shortly after 1 o'clock to- iarht. Just in time for his speech. He leaves immediately afterward for Alarion. His appearance in St. Louis is com plicated by the fact tht It is the home of Jacob Babler, the national commit teeman for Missouri, who figured in the pre-convention financing of the presidential boom for Governor Low den of Illinois. The national Repub lican committee, since Babler did not resign, gave over the active manage ment of the committee in Missouri to State Chairman Hughes. Hardin's is now aiming his antl v7ilson bludgeon in a new direction find is swinging hard at the failure of the administration to enter the world war earlier. He deliberately charged in his Indianapolis speech that Amer ica was kept out of -war for political purposes and for the sake of winning fn election thousands of American lives were sacrificed sn the battle fields of France. Speaking with -visible emotion. Harding charged this was a betrayal of American manhood and before he was thru some women in the audience were wiping the tears away. He got into this phase of the attack after denying the charge made in a recent speech by William G. McAdoo that he favored compulsory military training. Any peace time system of military training in America must be voluntary, Harding said. The state ment being used against him now, he said, was made during the war when the administration was refusing, he charged, to permit Theodore Roosevelt to take volunteers to France. It is expected Harding will shortly discuss the situation in Haiti on the basis of disclosures reeently made by Gen. George Barnett, until recently commandant of the marine corps which was in control of Haiti. IDENTIFY STORE ROBBERS Singer Prints of Two Youths) Cor respond With Those of Burglars. L Frank Rainey and James Bergen, o of the youths who were picked tip Here in the Union Pacific yards Fri rfay morning, following the robbery of the O. B.

High Food Prices Thruout Europe To Be Fjrst Result. Washington, Oct. 16. The general strike of 1,000,000 British coal Winers, unless brought to a quick conclusion, will prove a tvorld-wlde economic calamity! iii the opinion of officials here today. The industrial and even political consequences are likely to be far reaching. Europe' need for coal before the strike began as so urgent that in Italy manufacturers were glad to pay from $25 to $30 a ton tor American coal which cost $19 at the docks in New Tork. France, Belgium, Holland and the Scandinavian countries de pend In geat part on England for coal. With British coal exports embar goed, the factories of Europe will be forced to close, officials here said. Millions of worker inay .be thWW" out of employment. x Higher prices for rood thruout Eu rope probably will be the first result of the British strike. It was believed here. Th. triif. also will have a deter ment ffect on world distribution of food and manufactured commodities thru the coal bunkering factor, it was pointed out. British coal is used to bunker ships of all nations in all parts of the world. VTFE NEGLECTED HIM. John S. Rausln Is Granted Pivoroe Iom Iu Verne Rausln. John S.

The Topeka Highs defeated the At chison Highs Friday by a score of 84 to 0, at Atchison. The Topeka team outweighedthe Atchison team some twenty pounds to the man, and were forced to make all their gains thftt ths line by straight football tactics, be cause the 'field was heavy, and the heavy men were at a distinct disad vantage. Not a forward pass was completed by either team during the rame. and Orr. for Topeka, missed the only drop kick attempted during the 1 game. Topeka won the game In the first quarter. Brewster went over for the first touchdown within five minutes of play. Orr failed to kick goal. Wilson went thru for the second touchdown, and Orr kicked the goaL Brewster again carried the ball for the third trip across the goal line, and Orr's toe again added a point to the score. The quarter ended With the score 20 to 0 in favor of Topeka. In the second quarter Wilson went across with the ball and Orr again kicked goal. Score 27 to 0. In the third quarter Brewster's turn for a touchdown came again, and Orr again kicked goal. Attempting forward passes In the fourth quarter proved futile on the Atchison field, and the quarter was Without scores on either side. Atchi son made only one first down, and the ball was in their territory during the greater part of the game. Topeka plays Kansas City, Kan., at Topeka next week. The dope is in fa vor of Kansas City. Kansas City beat Atchison 108 to 0. and also beat Leav enworth 61 to 0. Topeka beat Leav enworth by a score of only 47 to 0.

There is a whole volume of heart throbs in the short application for a requisition on Governor 9mith of New York asking the return to Kansas of J. B. Stoddard. The application ra cites that Stoddard walked away wftli one woman's money and another man's wife. Stoddard, according to the com plaint, was living at the home of Mrs. L. J. Martin in Kansas City, Kan. One day the woman sold her home. She gave Stoddard $850 to take to the bank to deposit to her credit. Stod dard was from all appearances very likely fellow and seemed perfectly trustworthy.. So the money which Mrs. Martin received as a payment on her property was placed Jn Stoddard's hands without question. Then Stoddard started to the bank. On his way, so the application states, he stopped at the home of another man and visited with the man's wife. When Stoddard left the man's wife was with him. They didn't go to the bank. Instead they went to the rail road station, where they bought tick ets for Erie, N. Y. Now Mrs. Martin is short $850 fn cash. A neighbor is short one wife. Governor Alien has asked Governor Smith to return Stoddard to Kansas that a Wyandotte county Jury may de cide the extent to which he has frac tured the state laws and upset the happiness of a community.

O Nsed" INCREASE IN EXPRESS Local Company Report Business Is j v Good. The trend of buying -in Topeka, and j presumably in other citfes as well, is reflected in a reverse reaction ;in the express business, according to E. E. Braymer. local manager of the Ameri can Railway Express company in To peka. Th condition of the express ousi ness now Indicates that the buying public is proceeding in a very cautious and conservative manner, and if re fraining from buying on the scale which has been adhered (to for the past two or three years. Instead of this fact causing a de crease in express business, as tnight be expected, it results in an increase. This is trne, Braymet says, because the merchants who find that the pub lic is hesitant about buying, are not going to lay In heavy stocks of goods. Instead of buying in quantities and shipping by freight, the merchant who is not sure of his market is buying in small quantities himself and having the shipments made by express Just large enough to cover his actual needs without necessitating the investment of capital In goods which may drop or which the public is leaving aftme, waiting for a drop in prices. Express business is good at the pres ent time and a large part of it is made up of the type of shipments Just described small consignments of goods which will just keep the mer chants going until they see what the public is going to do.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALSATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16?, 1920 WHY HOT JOIN IT? More Interest Should Be Shown in Teachers' Association. Anyone Interested in Educa i tlon Is Eligible. SMALL MEMBERSHIP LAST YEAR More Than 10,000 l Enrolled This Year. Several Cities Are Paying Ex pense Attending Meetings. If Topeka people want to assure themselves of keeping their biggest convention that of the Kansas State Teachers' association they will do well to show interest in the associa tion In the form of joining it. Anyone who is interested in educa tion, whether they are teachers or not, lselu?ible for membership in the association..- according to its constitution. Last year, in, the counties in which the sections of the convention outside of Topekii were held, each county had a membership in the association lancer than the total number, e( school teachers in the county. Where Meetings Are Held. One section of the convention, held In Pittsburg, in Crawford county, had a paid up membership in the associa tion, of 705 people, more than twice as many people as there are teachers in the county. 1 Another section of the convention was held in Wichita, and in Sedg wick county there are 730 members of the Kansas State Teachers' asso ciation aain more than twice the number of teachers in the county. The third section of the convention was held in Salina, where Saline county has a membership in the or ganization of 824. btiawncc Has 658 Members. ffhawnee county's membership In the association last year numbered 669. A special invitation is being extended to the people of the county and of Topeka, this year, to become members of the association, before the convention opens. "Under. ordinary conditions It would cost more than the year's membership dues to hear one of the speakers who is on the convention program for To peka this year," said 5 L. Pinet, ec retary of the association. The yearly dues of the association are 2 per member. Only Members Admitted, OnlyJhe members of the associa tion will be admitted to' the-meetings to hear the lectures and speakers. The investment of $2 dues Just as a season ticket to the series of attractions, is regarded by the members of the asso ciation as a good "buy" for anyone Interested in the modern issues and This year there have already been or. csa wr amhtoh n ut If. W. Cm eth mad Kmmmt Ana, Pawn tn enrolled more than JO, 000 members In the association. And from most- of the cities of thetate there will be a 100 per cent attendance at one section or another of the state convention, Soma Cities I'aj Expense. Several cities are paying the ex penses or Dart of the expenses of their teachers to attend the meeting. Nor ton, in northwestern Kansas, is giving each teacher in the city schools a bonus of 120 to be used in attending the convention. Jewell City, in the western part pf the etate. is giving its teachers a bonus of 1 10 to attend the convention, and the aity of Emporia is paying the railway fare of all its teachers who will attend, as an In ducement to "take in" the things which are offered at the annual meet ing of the association KANSAS AIR CURES Stay Here nnd Be Cured of Tuberculosis, physician Says. Western States "o Better Than Ours for Sick People. There Is no better air than Kansas air. Stay here and be cured." This is the advice of the State Board of Health to tubfl-culosis patients. Dr. Charles H. Lerrigo, chief of the divi sion of vital statistics, relates the or igin of the belief that a, consumptive must travel. How It Started. 1 "Many years ago' he says "some one wiVo had consumption dropped his work in a factory, left his worries be hind him, got into a bed in the rear end of a comfortable wagon and rode in the open air all the way to the southwest. He got well. Ever since then folks in the advanced stages of consumption have got the habit of spending their last few dollars on a railroad ticket to the southwest, ex pecting that when they get to that glorious air 'out there,' they can go right to work to earn a living and be well." But western states have Issued warnings against this practice. octor Lerrigo points out. Should Check Migration. Colorado says: For the best inter ests of those tuberculosis patients who have no funds, their migration to the west should be checked. Too often they leave their best opportunities for care behind them and. sacrificing all, start out on the quest of health which as we. know, In almost every instance enas In death. California says: The State Board of Health warns you because it wishes to spare you homesickness and suffering from financial strain. The surgeon general. United States Public Health Service, says: The be lief which prevailed years ago in the specific virtues of certain elimates, particularly that of the arid South west is now known to have been wrong. T-.JJ. Can Bo Cured. "Tuberculosis can be cured easily," Doctor Lerrigo says, "if treatment is begun aa soon as the early symptoms appear. These symptoms are: Tired without cause, loss of weight, persis tent cough variable appetite, slight afternoon fever. "The patient can get cured In his home state better than anywhere else and the eijre comes from freedom from work' and worry, rest In the open air, good nourishing food and good cheer."

The Aggies are going strong, having defeated the Camp Funston team last week, 56 to 0. Coach Bach man has developed'a real offense and unless the Hargiss team shows a complete re versal of form, it looks like curtains for the bos from William Alien White's town. K. V. to Play Drake, I The Kansas Jayhawkers having won their two opening games, will play their first Missouri valley 'conference game this afternoon against Drake university, at Lawrence. At the first of the season the Des Moines press agents passed the word along that the Bulldogs were going to sweep the other valley teams off their feet. "Last Saturday th Iowa team was smoth ered by Illinois, 41 to 0; of course Zupke always has a real team but Drake can't have much of a defense if they can't hold better against the Crimson and Blue linemen, the shifty Mandeville and little Welsh will put over enough touchdowns to bring home the bacon. Nebraska tS. Notre Dame. Nebraska will day Notre Dame at Lincoln.

The Missouri Tigers have anotheF wonderful team having scored eighty- five points in their first two games.

The Santa Fe baseball team will play the Osage City clowns a return game tomorrow afternoon at the West ern league .park at 3:15. These two teams played a very ragged exhibition last Sunday but Osage has promised to bring some real players with them this time. No matter who they bring, they couldn't be any worse than the players that performed for the visitors last week. I would suggest they bring the Ladies' band from Herington and let them play instead of the clowns. St. Mary's 19; Friends O. The much touted big team of the Friends university was easily defeated by St. Mary's Friday, after noon by score of 19 to 0. Friends was unable to stop Lane and that coupled with the wonderful work ef Kelley and Bo land on defense, paved the wayor an easy victory.

Well, per haps, yaj won't be sent to OMvesten after al, Mavbe you. wouldn't have found a boarding place if you had been sent down there, Lots of Ta ped peoplo ate trying to find both boarding places atid houses to live in. One Topeka family lne-erted a blind advertise rpent in the paper asking for a house to rent and they had over a hundred replies. Lots of them were from business men who said they wanted to rent their own homes or set) them, to get money to carry on their business with. Sonne of the an awers they received were funny. One man wrote in asking them f they had any luck in finding a house that way to please call a certain number and tell him for he was hunting one, too. And still another man called them up, saying- he jtnew they were hunting a nOUSU, UUl Ul oupiJvpp w.w help him fiftd a place to board and room his Jersey cow. As soon as one young engftged eouple here can find n house they are going to be married. Nowadays after the man proposes and the girl say "Yes," the length of the engagement depends upon when they can find house, We haven't had e" engagement n- nnimnoif fa O. long time. Kllza both, but there are three or four of ToptKa's wen nown gins tvnu n almost ready but not quite and then when they do well have as many brides as we had in September. One little Aloha fW out at the college think she Is engaged, I guess, for she nii a Phi Delt man the other da vihtia ihsv ware having seme lunch at the College Inn that the new pin he was iiolng to wer in a few week wae just like his. Speaking or sorority gins who i engaged, makes 'me think of a Delta Gamma girl ho is to be married. The other .day at a social affair given for her, the girls asked where her ring was. and she admitted that it hadn't com baek yet. It seems that the ring had the habit of returning to the per-. son from whence it came on an 'aver age of once every few month. l pis peems o oe a- rumtitiic n-nwr, Kl','.abeth, but I'll Just Have ta tell you about the Clay street girl who is engi-. neerlng a little romance n her own. Her father objects strenuously to the man she wants to marry and thinks the engagement la broken, hut it Jrn't gnd the girl and the man era t!l nlannins to be married, but they also are hunting a house. In the meantime the lrl t encaged to a, man the ther approves of and on the nights that "he is out "with him "he manages to get in a trifle earlier so she may either call or see the real one a few minutes, I should think the ratnor would have found out by this time that if a girl decidesto marry a man she is going to as it regardless oi wnav everyone says. There's a woman here who Is a so cal climbe and who is Independent financially. The other day she came down on the avenue wifh a lovely new silk dress and a, new hat on. Around her neck she wore a eupnlng little mink piece. and en her feet she wore a pair of pumps, with the heels, all run over and with two holes in the heel of one stocking and one in the other. I wonder If she had forgotten to take off her house shoes. But then the other day one of the high school girls dressed in a hurry and when she was romping madly down the avenuo to school she happened to lodk at her fct and horrors she saw pompons on her oumos. She had forgotten to take off her house slippers, tt you hear of any Topekans in New York who are engaged be sure and tell us for we want to hear all about It. FRANCES.

In the early davs of the motion picture in dustry when a'bout all that was needed JLn make a picture wn a story and a ."location." most of the work in pre paring scenarios was done by short UTiry and fiction writers. To be sure many of these people still remain in th work, but the ranks of continuity -waiters and production editors are ;graduallv. but surely, being filled with trained newspaper men. The demand fnr writers who can lenrn the tech nique of continuity writing and adapt HMemselves cjulckly to studio activities .fns given newspapermen a big op jiortunSy.

Ifis billed as the biggest novelty and danee show of the year and the aris tocrat of modern musical comedy, as Mr. Orr has outdone any of his pre vious efforts in making this big. new third edition of the "Doll" series sur pass any of its predecessors, and this is saying a lot, when a person stops to think that "The Million Dollar Doll" has plaved to -more people in the United States and Canada than any other musical comedy on the road to day. So there must be a reason, and that reason is, Mr. Orr has always kept the "Doll Show" up to high standard of excellence, so that people know be forehand that they are going to get more than full value for their money in the way of amusement, haunting melodies, wonderful scenic effects, novelty dancing and pretty girls. The plot of "The Million Dollar Doll in Paris" is a tuneful tale of youth, beauty and laughter. Jack Dale, a young society man,' is in love with "Dolly," but Colonel Barrington, her guardian, thinks that Jack is too much for society and not enough for busi ness, so before he will consent to the marriage he insists that Jack does something in a business way.

This close analogy of motion picture making to news paper work has been the magnet vhich has drawn so many from news paper off.ces to the picture studios.

"Pink Tights" centers aDout oiaays Walton, a circus girl, and Jack Perrin, a small town minister. The play in cludes a number of notable scenes, in cluding a circus lot, a balloon ascen sion and parachute drop, and also very realistic fire scenes. rne picture is unique in that it does not end with the usual mating of the young preacher and circus girl.

SALARIES ARE TOO SMALL State Teachers' Association Asks Legislature for Aid. Wages of School Heads Must Be Ealscd, Report Says. Kansas ia In danger of facing a real shortage of county superintendents of schools, because present salaries are inadequate, Frank L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas State Teachers' associa tion, declares. Twenty county super intendents have resigned in the last year, Plnet said. The association will urpe the next legislature to provide a remedy in larger appropriations for salaries. Three Resign Recently. Three resignations announced re cently are of J. G. Hemphill, Neosho county, to become principal of the Junior high school at Chanute; I. C. Meyer, McPherson county, to accept the prlnclpalship of the rural high school at Roxbury, and W. H. Sea man, Marshall county,' to accept the superlntendency of city schools at Ver million In each of these rases, the county superintendents resigned to accept other educational offices, at ftreatly Increased salaries, said Mr. Pinet. Un der the present law the salary is bnsed larpely on total county population. The minimum salary In the smaller coun ties Is as low ns 1500 or $600, while a maximum of 12,500 to $2,700 is paid in three counties Shawnee, Sedgwick and Wyandotte. The average is about 1.K00 to $1,(100. "The law fixing salaries isr unscien tific." said Pinet. "For example, Wyandotte county Is one of the small est counties In the state as far as number of rural school children is ermcerned, but because Kansas City, Kan., is included in the ermnty popu lation, the salary for county superin tendent la about the larftest ih the state. The basis for salary apportlon mrnt should be the number of school children actually under the superin tendent, with a proncr minimum. Shortage Is rrcdlctcd. "Unless the salary scale Is increased to correspond to the amount which educators can get as city superintend ents of schools and as principals of rural and consolidated hiprh schools, the state will find itself without a suf ficient number of county superintend ents." Fal.iries paid city superintendents !n Kansas cities are now comparatively hich, Pinet pointed out. A dozen or 'more rltles pay from $4,000 to $6,000. Since the salary Is raised by city school tax. it is flexible and has been In creased to meet changing conditions, while the salary for county superin tendents is fixed by the legislature.

Walker, jointly edit The Heal Wesl- ener, a live little constructive monthly publication with a circulation covering the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. Mrs. Walker Is a regular contributor to the paper and is author of a column entitled "On The Im pulse," which is widely quoted In the middle West. Walker, who looks after the business affairs of the paper, has traveled extensively in the last eigh teen years, but finds time to get out each issue and work in the garden. Mrs. Walker was born in a sod house in Jewell county, educated in the country schools of that county and the Western Normal college at Lincoln, Neb.

Neither Will Size of Increased. Loaf Bed The fact that flour Is being sold to. millers in Topeka, at the present time, at about 113 per barrel, some ii less than the price which prevailed 80 days ago, doesn't necessarily mean that the price of your loaf of bread is coming down, or that the size of the loaf is going to be increased at the same price. ThU was made very evi dent ire-interviews with several To..j peka bakery managers. Supplies Are Higher. If a baker bought his day's supply of flour on the open market, every morning, and if there were no other factor than the price of flour to de termine the price of bread, the drop In flour might have its effect- But Topeka bakers say that other things have gone higher than flour has gone down.. They mention, among other factor, labor, coal, waxed paper, ma chinery, supplies of all sorts. And the baker buys flour from e"0 to 90 days ahead of the time that he uses it Price May Go Down. If the price of flour stays down, consistently, until the supply on hand at present is replaced by flour bought at a lower figure, and if there are no further increases in the price of coal, on which there has been a raise of $5 or more per ton; and if paper doesn't go any higher, (the waxed paper use3 in wrapping the loaves has doubled in price during the last year); if wages are not further increased above the 30 per cent raise which the bakers say has been made during the past twelve months, then your bread may cost you a little less per loaf, or the loaf may be made larger. The loaves of bread being made In Topeka now, and sold at the same price, vary In weight A Difference in Quality. Difference in quality is given by some of the bakers in accounting for the difference In price.

Movie actors dare death time after time to make thrills for the screen fans, but those Ifans do hot realize that while they breathlessly watch their hero in hairbreadth escapes, there is one man under the same roof with them, who, while making their enter tainment possible, is daring death Just as much as are their favorite William S-, Douglas or any others of the cinema world. This man, three times a day, works an hour and a half to two hours constantly threatened by the deadly attack of carbon monoxide gas. He is the projection machine op erator. Gas Given Off From Lights. Tho gas is given off by the big are lights ih the machines which cAst the picture o'rt the screen. When new carbons are inserted in the machine and the current sent thru them for the first time, clouds of the gas bah he seen by the naked eye. At other times It Is there, but invisible, constantly settling to the bottom of the tank-like booth in which the operator works. It Is this fact that the carbon monoxide is heavier than air and settles, that prevents many an operator from meet ing as horrible a death as any of the boys in France who were caught in a German cloud or -shell attack. Because of the necessity of guarding against possible fires, the booths pro vided for the machines of a motion picture theater are constructed of air tight metal and there are as lew open ings for ventilation as possible. Be cause of the fact that the high priced lens will crack If such a means of get ting rid of the fumes Is used, a flue to draw off the noxious vapors is Impos sible. Electric fans and, frequent clearing of th air during intermis sions is the only way that the opera tor can- protect hlmselt. In well cared for houses, this gas never gets into the main auditorium but there are times when it reaches a level of several inches on the floor of the operating booth. One can very easily tell the theater where care ia not taken ih this respect by the stuffi ness pf the atmosphere. Cannot Protect Himself. But there is one by-product pt the carbon monoxide against which the operator cannot protect himself. It is the particles of "water glass" which form between the melting carbon Doints of the light In the machine. These minute particles float In the arr and invade the lungs oi tne operator. Anv booth Which has been in use for a short time :s crusted witn ine wnue layers of this "water glass" substance. "All the inventions in motion picture photography have bfeen along the line of making better pictures on the icreeri," declares Harry Bmlth, To poka's veteran operator, who is now in charge of the projection room at the Orpheum theater. "We operators are fn hopes that it will not be long now ihtil the Inventors and makers of hew fvnes of machines will pay some at tention to 'making the machines safe for the men Who haye to worK tnem. j "The improvements made on mo tion picture projection machines in the feist ten years have been simply won derful.

TO HELP DRIVE Inter-SerTlce Club Will Behind S. A. Get Fresh Start in Campaign Be gins Monday. The Inter-Service club, composed of young business men one from each line of business represented in the city is going to get behind the Salvation Army drive in a body, and will start a fresh, organized canvass of the busi ness district on Monday morning. This was decided at a meeting of the club at luncheon today at the Chamber of Commerce. The members of the club who have already been assisting in the canvass, have the best records of the entire staff.

Altho officials of the Salvation Army have not said as much, the results which have been attained so far have been unsatisfactory. Altho no definite figures were given out today, the most optimistic estimate at the amount which has been paid in and promised, does not exceed $8,000 of the $20,000 which has been set as the goal of the drive. No meeting of the committee on the work in the rural districts of t the county was held today. It has been postponed until next Wednesday. Of ficials of the drive met with the Inter Service club .today at their luncheon and assisted in planning the campaign which will start Monday morning. One of the members of the club collected subscriptions and money to the amount of nearly $700 on the west side of the avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets, this week. The canvass in the residence dis tricts is to be reorganized and the ground which has already been cov ered, as well as fields yet untouched, gone over, block by block, in a more thoro and systematic manner. The campaign was to have closed today, but it was decided at the luncheon conference Friday to continue for an other three days. The Salvation Army home, suppos edly a free gift to the Army by To peka people, is really a liability until the $15,000 mortgage on it is paid, the Rev. E. J. Kulp told the canvassers Friday. Fifty of the canvassers have agree to reorganize their campaign in the residence district, and go thru it block by block. The first store in Topeka to report 100 per cent subscription by its offi cers and employes is Pelletler's. A committee composed of Mrs. Frank G. Davis, K- B. Hobbs, and J. W. Harper carried on the campaign in the store and today reported that every single person from cash girl to manager had contributed. About $160 has been reported raised in the offices of the Santa Fe. Be cause of the rules of the company it was Impossible to send solicitors into the building, so envelopes were placed on the desk of every employe, for the subscription which the employe wish ed to make, and then gathered up and forwarded to the Salvation Army headquarters. GOV. ALLEN ASKED TO SPEAK Senator Smoot Invites Kansas Gov ernor to Talk at Salt Lake City. Governor Allen may be the first per son to cause the setting aside of a strict rule regarding political speeches in the Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah. Senator. Reed Smoot to day wired Governor Allen asking that he speak with William Howard Taft, former president, at a big political meeting in the tabernacle October 25. Under the rule of the Mormons only candidates for president and vice president and former presidents may deliver political speeches in the taber nacle. Senator Smoot, however, has assured the Kansas governor that there is a desire on the part of Utah Republicans to hear him. If the gov ernor can accept the engagement, he may be permitted to break a sacred rule of the Mormon church. The governor will return to To peka Sunday from his eastern speak ing tour. He will then decide whether he will acce: t the Utah invitation. Find Oil In San Salvador. San Salvador Oct. 16.

The descendants of the original Hodgins family settling in Topeka are shown as well as old time friends and acquaintances of the family. Several hundred children, including those from the Orphans' Home and the home of the Security Benefit Association also attended the party. Motor Car Notes OidsmoMle Under New Management. The Oldsmobile has re-entered the motor cat Industry 'In Topeka nder the management of two energetic young business men, PS H. Durant and W. B. Colvin. Durant and Colvin have, opened their display room and service shop In the building formerly occupied by J. F. Butler at 1017 Kan sas avenue. Service to Oldsmobile owners is to be made a feature of their business, according to Durant. They are equip ped to render the most efficient and helpful service to owners of the motor car they will handle. It is a feature of the business that has been neglected by dealers now and then but that will never be the case at the Olds mobile home, he says. At present they are preparing to meet fall and winter buying with closed cars. The. closed car is almost a necessity in this country if motorists are to use their machines thruout the entire winter. The Oldsmobile comes in a number of models in eight and six cylinder styles. The new dealers are proud of the fact that they have been able to secure the distribution of a product of the General Motors com pany that has been on the market for twenty-three years. The truck business is not to be neg lected in order to push pleasure car selling, says Durant. The rapidly growing opinion in favor of the truck on the farm thruout this territory, is worthy of careful cultivation. They will feature a three-quarters ton truck. Altho named "three-quarters ton," the truck has a greater carrying capacity. A Unique Spot. Grease spots are usually considered a useless, unattractive feature. Clean ers and gasoline combine to eradicate them. However, The Grease Spot in Topeka is a place of extreme useful ness for motor cars. A business of oiling and lubricating automobiles with every kind of grease or oil needed to cut down friction at any particular points, is conducted at The Grease Spot by D. H. Huntington. Huntington got the Ideas from things he saw on the western coast and adapted them to his business. It is exclusively a business for oiling and lubricating all moving parts of an automobile. No repair work Is done except that coincident with the work of oillng- The Grease Spot proper is a trestle. Machines are run up on this trestle and the mechanic works on the under neath part of a car in a full standing position. It beats lying down to do this work a thousand different ways and adds greatly to the efficiency of the worker. Bolts and nuts found loose on the under side of the machine are tightened or replaced while the work is in progress. If more serious mechanical defects are discovered the motorist is warned of the trouble and may take his car to an automobile repair shop where It can be given the attention needed. Here is a list of things done at The Grease T5pt: A complete oiling, and Inspection; car washed; car pol ished; crank case drained, cleaned No Need Grape--Nnts This wheat and malted bar" ley food is naturally sweet, since twenty hours baking and processing develop sugar from its own grains.

ATTEND THE HODGINS PICNIC Mzstf:'u and refilled; top dressed; running gear cleaned; motor cleaned; tires changed; tubes repaired; grease cups replaced; bolts and aiuts tightened or replaced transmission and differential filled; storage batteries filled and tested; storage space for machines. So successful has this special service been in becoming necessary to large numbers of motorists who have tried it, that Huntington plans to enlarge his plant next spring. No work is taken that cannot be gotten out strict ly on schedule time. From Tent To Building. From operating a motor car busi ness under a tent to the operation of one of the largest motor buildings in Topeka in a period of one year i3 the achievement of the Taft Motor com pany, 417-419-421-423 Jackson street. Last week was the anniversary of the entrance of the company into the motor world in Topeka. It was organized October 6, 1919, and because it could find no location, besran business in a tent at Fourth and Jackson, with only one mechanic. It continued in the tent until us ouita ing was finished in December. It had a length of 100 feet and a frontage of 50 feet. Additions recently completed add 60 feet to the length and 50 feet more of frontage. There are storage accommodations for 125 cars. Two sales rooms are located in the front of the building, lone for new and one for used cars. The general office is located In the rear of the sales rooms. Repair shops occupy the entire rear of the building where seven mechanics are employed. Two drives in from the alley permit motor cars to enter the repair department without disturbing business in the front of the building. Sufficient parts are carried in the stock department to build an entire Chevrolet motor car. The stock room is 20 by 30 feet. The Taft Motor company Is a cor poration capitalised at $36,000. Its officers are: L. W. Taft, president and treasurer; L. C. Burns of Hoyt, secretary; B. F. Strain of Topeka, vice-president. Other directors are C. F. Bolter of Scranton, and Sam Sage of Topeka. More than 200 Chevrolets were sold during the first year of busi ness. v War Nurse Who Faced Hun Guns Routed by Mouse The murder of a. mouse by Mrs. C. S. Bailey, head of the Public Health Nursing association, was one of the chief events of today at the city hall. The fear of mice so generally attrib uted to women is not possessed by Mrs. Bailey. With a sharp little kick. administered without any qualms or quivers, Mrs. Bailey put an end to the rodent's life, while Miss Mary Alex ander, Red Cross nurse, who braved dangers of the war zone in France, and Miss Frances Lowe, stenographer in the city health department, were hysterical with fear. "That's nothing. I killed a big rat once by hitting him with my hand," Mrs. Bailey said. to Sweeten A if 5 lie- V.' r .!v 1 3 T W' Mr. C. T. Simorrton, 714 Chandler Street, Holies Record for Raising Idivgeat New Zealand Vegetables. New Zealand, New Guinea, Chi nese, Australian or Japanese, beans. wnatever tneir owners may call them they all agree on one thing, and that is they are positively the biggest thing ever grown which could by any wild stretcn ot imagination be called bean. The vegetables or beans, shown In the picture were grown by Mr. C. T. Slmonton, 714 Chandler street. The largest one measures 42 inches in length, 15 inches in circumference and weighs 9 pounds. The smallest one is 34 inches in length and weighs 9 pounds. The little 4 -year-old grand daughter of- Mb. Simonton, Betty Louise Birt. is shown standing by the side of the largest one, which is taller than the child. The seeds of these beans were found in a Wells-Fargo express car which had been sent to the shops for repair' ing. The men finding the seeds planted them, not dreaming that they were planting a regnlar Jack and the beaigistalk affair. Mrs. J. Q. Eddy; 189 Norton street, who has one of the beans on exhibit at The State Journal building, grew her specimen on a vine which spread entirely over the ton of a peach tree, breaking down some of the branches. The vine bore thirteen of the huge beans. The bean on exhibit is 44 Inches In length, weighs 17 pounds and is 17 inches in circumference. When the 'beans "tend to their knitting" and put iin a good day at growing, they can stretch themselves out one and a hall inches longer than they were in the morning before they began. The vines have a white flower on them similar to a morning glory and when the vine itself is touched or bruised a disagree able odor comes from it. Some day in the future our cook books will probably have recipes added to them informing us how to pre pare the huge vegetables. So far To peka people have eaten them in but two ways, iney are peeieu mm pic pared as egg plant, and then fried. Another way is told of in which the bean is peeled, diced and boiled. Those who have eaten them say the flavor 'is similar to that of a butter bean. hoe mm RECORD W. Iff. XMg Holds Record as Deep Sea Diver. W. H.

IHUKS FOR HARDING I Secretary of State Colby Makes Direct Charges in Speech. Accuses G. O. P. of Fostering All Sorts of Radicalism. Chicago, Oct. 16. Speaking at a luncheon at the Iroquois club here to day. Secretary of State Colby charged the Republican party with the "me thodical effort to play upon the sus ceptibilities of every racial group In America" and characterized it "one of the most sinister features" of the Re publican campaign. He accused the Republicans of transnortine to America and iniectine into purely domestic issues factional strifes and prejudices of Europe and of taking advantage of these suscept- ibilities in immigrants before they have had time to learn America and become American. Mentioning the Germans, he said, by way of illustration, Mr. Colby declared that any general organized support from the German element in America is an expression of either disappoint- ment or resentment at the course of the United States in the war. "There is not a journal published in German," the speaker charged, "or a i newspaper that during the war en- j joyed prominence as pro-German in its leanings mat is noi uT3pori;ng Harding and the Republican ticket to day. There is not a German suspect or a German sympathizer who was the subject of prudent attention on the part of the United States authorities during the war who is not supporting the Republican ticket; and there is only one reason for this support; they hate the president who pulled the mask aside from Prussian arrosance. They hate the party under whose di rection ana leaacrsmp ine vkiuuuuo nrnr mi fniieht in which America con tributed the decisive blows that crushed and' humbled German hostil ity to free Institutions."

Seger says it was a real live meeting, at which. Secretary Healy of the Kansas City board ex pounded the privileges and duties of membership. Forces swaying stocks and bonds during the last week have been, the fluctuation in industrial stocks, ac cording to J. Li. Hersh, assistant sec retary of the Capitol Building Koan association. JTery few stocks on the market have shown an increase where there are a great many stocks that have shown a loss in quotations. This necessarily means that the public will stop buying stocks and will go to buy ing more stable securities such as building and loan shares, he believes. In a, -report written this week to Secretary G. L. Tuer, of the real estate board, Hersh says: "Municipal bonds are quite stable and fluctuations are very light. The government bonds have been fluctuat ing more or less on account of the in terest rates but with the industrial stocks coming down government bonds will begin to Increase in a cashable value. "Banks seem to be loaning their money at 8 per cent and above. A statement was made by one banker that he would rather have the money on a note which had been carried for a period of time at 6 per cent inter est than he would to have the note and renew it at per cent, as he could get at least 8 per cent for this money. "The average on constriction ma terials is beginning to show a decline instead of an increase as has hereto fore been the case. Food costs are still downward and heretofore the public has not been getting any of the benefits of the reduction, but of late the public is beginning to reap a small proportion or tne reduction. zations here in Topeka, also we have the- state banking department which, supervises all other associations of the state. So witn tnese two reasons, xo rh.ii. the center of the Building Loan business.. "Building and loan associations have done more to encourage thrift than any other single institution within the bounds of the United States. This is not generally known and has only come to the attention of the govern ment within the last few years that building and loan associations are really the assets of the country. But now the government is encouraging the organization of every association possible. There are more than 7, io building and loan associations in the United States. Topeka does not want to overlook the value of these associa tions." L. H. Smith of the National Invest ment company is in Abilene this week on business for his company, and in cidentally visiting his old friends. Every city in Kansas of 5,000 popu lation and np should have a real estate board, which would mean about two dozen boards. County units will be organized in some cases, and later on a state board will bo organized, com posed of the local city and county boards in the state. DRAKE AFTER JAYHAWKERS. Big Missouri Valley Battle Expected at Lawrence Today. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 16. Indica tion of what both Drake and Kansas will do in tne Missouri valley- confer ence was expected from today's grid iron battle. Last Saturday, K. tJ. had a hard tus sle to beat Washburn, while Drake went down before Illinois without making a strong showing. Then both f n o L7 C -4X J&TBS BUILDS KG AND LOAM teams were playing outside their own 'The Topeka housing proposition is conference. about tne same as it has been all fall. There is a great demand for apart monts to rent. There is a steady de mand for the purchase of prop erty and there seems to be plenty of stuff to sell. However, a great deal of the property that is on the market now is old and in more or less dilapidated shape. However, this is not true of all property. It is quite generally conceded that real estate is going to be as high in the sprlpg as it is now, if not higher. Bents are in creasing rapidly now, even single rooms renting as high as $40 each with only family bath accommoda tions, and they will, no doubt, increase more as the winter comes on and the demand becomes stronger. Topeka is in need of a hotel and a large apart ment house, but it w.ould seem abso lutely foolish for an organization to build cottages and homes for rent as they would not be able to get interest sufficient to pay them at the present cost. "The Capitol Building Loan asso ciation has made eighteen "loans amounting to $28,780 and have on hand applications for a good number of loans, more than they will be able to make unless they can interest in vestors to deposit their money and re ceive per cent Interest which they are offering. The difference between a Building Loan association and other investment stocks is the fact that the individual does not have to get out and find a purchaser for the cer tificate, tout can turn them into the association- which buys them on de mand by the owner, they receiving money and interest up to the last in terest paying date. "Thousands of Topeka citizens are taking advantage of the investment features of Building Loan associa tions and have learned the value and they will acknowledge that it surpasses otUr investments considering the ac commodations, service and prompt ness of payment. Building Loan associations loan their money exclu sively on first mortgages on real estate on the monthly ..payment plan. Thus, the security gets better with each month that elapse and with each pay ment that is made upon the loan.
