The telegram: "Lewis is In a tight end. and if he continues to call his Cleveland meet ing a central competitive field confer ence, when settlement is announced, he must then send his district presi dents home to hold district confer ences with their operators. District ettlements are what we have been contending for. The districts which have not been represented In Cleve land are not bound by his rump con vention. I see no reason why each rate and district caanot proceed with Its own conference based on its own competitive condition.

Plan Improvements on Topeka Property to Cost $50,000. The members of the city commis sion will hold an adjourned session at 4 o'clock this afternoon to consider an ordinance to grant the Consumers' Light, Heat and Power company a new twenty year franchise to enable the company to furnish natural gas to the citizens of Topeka. The company is now operating- un der three distinct franchises. One. which the company secured ,when it purchased the Continental Oil and Gas company, will expire In August, 1923. A second grants all the privi leges given in. the franchise of the present company and that of the old Continental company. The third which was secured by the purchase of the Excelsior Coke and Gas company permits the company to sell artificial gas for ten more years. In his talk before the commission, Doran stated that the company would make no voluntary reduction in rates as it was in the hands of receiver and that he thought the company was Jus tified in applying for higher rates. T. F. Doran. attorney for the Con sumers company, appeared before the regular meeting of the commission this morning and explained the com pany's request for a new ordinance. He stated that if the new charter was granted improvements amounting to $50,000 -would b made in the com pany's property and approximately four miles of new gas mains would be laid. He also stated the federal court had granted the company per mission to use money in the deprecia tion fund of the company for this pur pose. It is out of the question to at tempt to supply artificial gas as the installing of necessary equipment would be too expensive, Doran stated. He also said that the company would lay mains in all parts of the city that are not now served by the company if the charter was granted.

Ruins of an ancient city of great size, hitherto unknown, have been uncovered in Colombia by the South American archaelogical expedition of the Field Museum of Natural History. Chicago, working under the leadership of Dr. J. A. Mason. The ruins of the city or collection of villages are in a portion of Colombia that is now uninhabited and almost unknown to science. It Is evident, the museum announced to day, that this was once one of the great centers of population of the world, but today even its name is un known. The finds to date Indicate that in ancient times the country was densely inhabited by settled agricultural tribes who were semi-civilized. They were expert builders and ppssessed great skill in the working of gold and pre cious stones. Mr. Mason sent the following mes sage regarding the discoveries he has made thus far: "There must have been a tremen dous population here at one time, as STRIKERS' HEARINGS SET gJx plead Not Guilty to Disturbing Workers' Peace.

Having in-! i curred the displeasure of former j President Wood row Wilson, Varda- man has been compelled to battle the j Wilson influence during the campaign while piling up enough votes to w.n the nomination over his two oppon- ents. Miss Belle Kearney and Hubert Stephens. In most quarters it was thought Vardaman would be the winner. The woman vote is making the primary decidedly uncertain, however. the country is covered with house sites. The region is very mountain ous, and the houses, which were of wood, were built on terraces made with retaining walls. In the center of each terrace there are entering steps of beautifully cut stone. "On the side of almost every house there can still be found the grinding slab, on which the family ground its corn. In all the houses we have found quantities of broken pottery, mostly fragments of large undecorated jars." The ancient inhabitants of this country decorated themselves with gold ornaments and buried these with their dead. The early Spaniards are known to nave taken fabulous quan tities of gold from the ancient graves, and the further work of the expedi tion should bring to light many ob jects of value and Interest, it was said. Specimens already received at the museum include gold bells, small, beautifullyt made gold figures and or naments of shell arid agate.

I will appreciate it if your office will keep me advised of the situation." To this telegram Mr. Wells re plied as follows: "I thank you for your message, which has the right ring. I am confident this will clear up the trouble so far as engineers on the Santa Fe are concerned." Members of the railroad brother hoods will not be permitted to go out on sympathy strike. Nor can they quit railroad employment merely be cause armed guards are used to pro tect the company's property.

It is dangerous not only to the violator and the occupants 0f the car ahead but to motorists coming on cross streets. It is con fusing also to pedestrians and ex poses them to direct danger. If motorists would heed the speed j limits within the city there would be little reason for one car passing an- j other but this seems to be out of the question. There aren't enough nio-j torcycle police nor will there ever be to catch such law avoid era. j Tha best rule to follow is to signal before passing a car and never go by; another at a street intersection.

The public utilities commission has assigned a hearing for September 19 when it will make inquiry concerning holdings by the Southwestern Bell company of securities in independent wire companies in this state. It is as serted by the state commission that the Bell interests have recently made Investments in securities of various small telephone companies without approval of the commission. Among the corporations in which it is alleged that the Bell interests own stocks or bonds are the Emporia Tele phone company, Emporia; United Telephone company, Abilene; Kansas Telephone company, Ottawa; Sabetha Telephone company, Sabetha: and Southwestern Long Distance company. Pratt. These companies, together with the regular Bell interests, are de clared to operate about 75 per cent of tne teiepnones In Kansas. It Is the contention of the state com mission that the public utility act was violated when the Bell company did not secure permission to buy holdings of competitive wire companies. It is on this theory that the case has been ordered for special hearing and will be taken up by the state commission next month. WON'T CALL STRIKE (Continued from Page One.) end that conditions may be satisfac tory. -'This in particular is the season of the year when the country at larce needs service to avoid serious loss which in the end must affect you and your family, I have much faith in your giving this matter the considera tion it deserves." Wells Presents New Point. A demand thatchiefs of the bg four brotherhoods take steps Imme diately to end what he denounced as a lawless and inhuman violation of thseir contracts of tram service crews of the Santa Fe on its coast lines, was made Monday night by Vice President A. G. Wells of that railroad. In tele grams addressed to Warren S. Stone, head of the engineers; D. B. Robert son of the firemen: W. G. Lee of the trafnmen. and L. E. Sheppard of the conductors, Mr. Wells said that if they could not get their own men back to. work, or fill their places, "shall the company proceed at once to accept the only alternative left In its duty to the public and engage the services of men to fill the places of those on strike? I want an explicit answer on this point," the message ended. Mr. Wells sent his telegram after a strike had occurred at Winslow. Ariz., trainmen having notified the Santa fe superintendent there that they would not return to work until train in spection had been provided which would be satisfactory to the general grievance committee of the brother hoods." "It will be noted in this ultimatum no reference is made to the objection of guards which was the main cause of complaint in the Needles environ ment, and a new element is introduced that of competent men to be em ployed Jor the inspection of trains which has no more foundation in fact than the claim of unsafe engines," Mr. Wells said in his telegram to- the heads of the Vig four brotherhoods. "Tour attention is called to the lan guage of the ultimatum delivered at Winslow. "It stipulates that certain conditions must be met satisfactorily to the gen eral grievance committee of the big lour. 'inia warrants tne deduction that the committee at Winslow is act ing under the direction of the genera chairman and certainly constitutes an unwarranted and sympathetic strike approved by the four organizations in flagrant violation of your constituents obligations under the existing agree ments between this company and its lask you each- to declare whether you will immediately order and require compliance with your order, that they shall return to work and perform their accustomed duties, advising them that failure to comply will result ia your co-operation with the company to sup ply men to take the places which they have vacated." Lee Sends Reply. President Lee promptly replied to Sfr."weH as follows: "Deputy Presi DAYS!" dent Mackenzie left El Paso today for Albuquerque with instructions to go over the coast lines- to secupe positive information of conditions of employ ment, and require enforcement' of brotherhood laws. I have Instructed Vice President Harvey, now in Kansas City, to enforce compliance with brotherhood laws on the Santa Fe proper. I am endeavoring to start Vice President Bannon from Chicago to the Coast Lines at once. I have wired officers of the lodgei at Albu querque, Winslow, Gallup, Needles and San Bernardino instructing them to require the membership to perform the usual and regular duties until au thorised to quit according to consti tution, and that failure to comply with brotherhood laws and working agree ment wieans Justifiable cancellation by the company of the., working. .agree ment -4n effect." f Mr. Sheppard advises that he had wired his general chairman of the coasC lines to go where the men are out and insist on their returning to work where reasonable "guard duty is being maintained." No response has leen received from Mr. Robertson. ENSUES NOT MORE DANGEROUS Statement That 70,000 Locomotives Were Near Ruin Is Ridiculous. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 14. The estimate of labor leaders that seventy thousand locomotives were on the brink of ruin, was characterized not only as untrue but ridiculous here today by J. F. Holden, vice president in charge of traffic, Kansas City Southern railroad, in a statement made public today. The railroad of ficial says: "I note a statement made by labor leaders that seventy thousand loco motives were on the brink of ruin. That is the total number of locomo tives in the United States. The state ment is not only untrue but ridiculous. The government has a large number of inspectors thruout the whole coun try inspecting locomotives to see that they comply with the government safety regulations, s These inspectors are exceedinglyfcbusy right now, and if locomotives were unfit to run they would be put out of service promptly. "Boilers are not washed by me chanics, they are washed by common laborers unaffected by the strike and are being washed as thoroly now as ever. The statements are designed only to frighten persons who contem plate traveling by rail." A NEW MIDDLE WEIGHT CHA.M1". Crown Goes to Dave Roscnbnrg Un der New York Rule. New York, Aug. 15.

Premier Foincare telegraphed today M. Dubois, chair man- of the inter-allled reparations commission, to fight any attempt to grant an indemnity moratorium to Germany. M. Dubois is a Frenchman. (By the Associated Press.) London, Aug. 15. Europe was un able to rise to what might have been a great opportunity to put her feet on tne road to recovery. This Is the con sensus of the press comment regard ing the failure of London conference but as to who was responsible for tho failure depends upon whether one ac cepta the French or British view point The pro-government editorials ex press the hope that France will take the counsel of reason and sobriety. and not continue to act against her own best interests, while those of the opposition press such as the Daily Mail, say the British people wilr not allow any administration to quarrel with their friend and ally tor the benefit ana satisfaction of the Germans. London. Aug. 15. The Anslo- French entente, the chief bulwark against chaos in Europe, was menaced today as never before aa a result of the break up of the allied conference on German indemnity. The entente still exists, but Britain Is standing pat in ner opposition to France's demands and is awaiting the next French move. The collapse of the allied confer ence was due to opposition of the uriuan ana irenca over the mora torium terms that should be imposed on Germany. The British were op posed to the drastic conditions in sisted on by Premier Poincare. Situation Dangerous, Papers Say. The newspapers regard the situa tion as most dangerous. The ex change market has been shaken bv the reparations crisis, the German mark going to 4.225 for one English pound sterling, or about 856 marks for one American dollar. British official circles were pessi mistic. Belief was expressed that the inter-allied reparations commission at Paris will grant Germany a respite in Indemnity payments. They must de cide whether or not to take indepen dent action against Germany. If France should take independent ac tion, it would likely lead to a French economic crisis and pressure from Great Britain which will use the French war debt to Britain as a club. The French delegates to the con ference departed for homj today, hav ing been preceded by the Belgians, Germany Offers Small Payment. Berlin, Aug. 15. The German cabi net today decided it could pay only 500,000 pounds sterling because of private debts .owed to allied citizens, instead of 2,000,000 pounds demanded by Premier Poincare.

Director. Washing ton. I. C. A bulletin issu-d by the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers points out that the leading business men of Richmond, Va., have just figured out what it takes for the average Ameri can family to maintain a decent stan dard of living. The Richmond Rotary club, it reports, asked each member to bring to the meeting a statement of the lowest living expenditures on which a family could be maintained In reasonable comfort. One by one the items were added up and the es timate voted fair by the member. Clothing, Insurance premiums, food, coal, rent and medical attention had been aet aside, when suddenly the man who" was keeping the books an- nounced that the budget already amounted to 15,125. Nobody haa any objection to the earning of 15,325 a year by every man- in the country if he can do It, but the total necessary to such a distribution is far beyond the value of all the commodities produced in this country in the course of a year. The only way In which the shortage could be made up would be thru the printing of mere money as it is done in Russia. The wages received by Russian workmen must make tha engineers envious. The Russian's wages do not stop at a mere (5,825 a year. They run Into millions. It ia announced that the McCumber tariff bill will be passed next Satur day. Possibly this is true. It ha been shorn of many of ita moat ob jectionable features but still retains enough to conder n it and its authora In the minds of the American people. If It shall be passed at tbe appointed time It still must run the gauntlet of a Joint conference. But it should be far enough alortr for the voters to get a line on It by November 7. A self constituted friend and ad viser of the farmers professea to see grave danger that the Individual farmer will be snuffed out and that "huge corporations like' the United States Steel Corporation may buy up j the land, and cultivate the soil as the ranches are managed In Mexico." However, ha may rest assured that the corporations are not looking for any unprofitable investments like farming is said to be. If farming be a losing, game the farmers will be permitted to keep their farms. If farming be found profitable, nobody can pry the farmers loose from the soil. The 350,000.000 appropriated by congress- as federal aid in conjunction with state funds will result in the con struction of about 48,000 miles of road, aays the bureau of public roads of tba United States department of agriculture. This mileage would par allel the railroad from New York to San Francisco nearly fifteen times, or. ir divided equally among the states, would give nearly l.ooo miles to eacn state. Poor old Austria! She started the Great War and that she is paying dearly 'or her action is pointed out by Otto H. Kahn, who has just returned from there and saya: "Nothing more tragic can be imagined than tha utter misery of that gifted and amiable people, :which has been one of the civilizing forces among the nations, and to whom the world owes so much in the field of science, music and lit erature. It is appalling to contem plate, especially, the deadful condi tions among the middle classes, their semi-starvation .and, in soma cases, actual Starvation. Forced, by the treaty of St. Germain, into economi cally almost impossible frontiers, hampered and crippled by its terms, the Austrian people are singled out. less, really, by design than by bun gling on the part of the treaty mak ers, for particularly cruel and hope less suffering. Forbicl-'en. in d "lance of the famous doctrine of self-deter-maintain. measurably to relieve their economic conditions by affiliation with their neighbor. Germany; harassed, humiliated and maltreated by other Adjoining; states on which they de pend for their trade and for soma of the very necessities of existence, they are deprived even of the possibility to eaeapa from their wretchedness by emigration, because they cannot af ford the means to emigrate overseas, and the doors of tha neighboring Dan ube states are closed to them. At the same time, millions of their brothers have been torn away from their Aus trian allegiance and, placed under the domination of Csecho-8Iovaks, Ru manians or Italians." A HALE CENTURY OF STRIKES. A discouraging phase of the labor situation ia that we have made, aa a people, so little progress In the aolu tion of the problem by equitable and judicial meana in the nearly half cen tury sine big strikes first began. Despite all we hear of the Increased power of organization In labor ranks, and of the apread of radical ten dencies, the strike Itself aa a form of private war haa become little more effective than it was half a century ago. The railroad strikes of 18T7 were aerious enough to win for themselves a place in the school histories of the United States. The roads attempted to .lower the wages of the men as a part of the post-war deflation. Most of the men refused to work, and some of them refused to allow trains to run. They resisted ths troops sent to pro tect the railroads, rioting in Pitts burgh. Chicago, St. Louis and other places. After nearly two wesks of general confusion tha riots were suppressed. The worst of them all-that at Pitts burgh, where the rioters controlled the city for several days cost nearly one hundred live, besides three mil lion dollars' worth of property. Even the Herein massacre star.ds out no worse as a tragedy than this. Both administrations of Grover Cleveland were filled with Kbor trou blesperhaps the best remembered because it brought the president into such a degree of responsibility, was the Pullman strike of 1894. centering in Chicago. That was a sreious affair while it lasted. We have had coal strikes before notably that in the anthracite district which Roosevelt settled in 1902. Tet with all this past record open to congress, legislatures, employers and employes, little if any progress seems to have been made either in prevention or workable methods of settlement. The railroads, since the dates referred to above, have become so thoroly under the direction and control of tha government that a strike by their employe seems wholly unnecessary. The government is in a position to force the railroads to do anything that Is. right and in the pub lic interest. It is charged that importers are putting up money to fight the pending tariff bill. Who is getting the money? 8urely those making this charge do not wish to cast reflections on Senator Lodge, who voted against the tariff on hidea WHO SHALL BOSS? In a letter sent some days ago to Governor Groesbeck of Michigan President Harding wrote: "It is a matter of record that coal operators and mine workers in many districts have been quite ready to come to an understanding in very short order, but the policy of the na tional organization is hostile to any district or state arrangement. This apparently is one of the Issues in volved and one that must be definite ly settled. I do not know of any way of settling it under the legal authori ties which are now possessed by either state or federal government. Mani festly legislation must be provided and I mean to. submit the whole problem to congress at the earliest convenient time after the house reassembles. If the coal producers of the United Staes were so organized that a na tional body were to determine the pol icy of every member and permit no sales of coal except on dictation of terms by the national officials, every state legislature and congress itself would Instantly put an end to such a practice. The. mine workers unhesi tatingly assume national dictation. It is the big issue involved in the present dispute. Frankly, X think it must be dealt with If we are to have any se curity and any assurance of a supply cf coal." What the president says of coal mining applies with equal force to the railroad Industry: There appears to be no desire on the part of strike leaders to settle on a basis of reason. They are waging a war for suprem acy and the employers in both fields are meeting them on that ground. The struggles are being carried on to see who is boss. Unless ona side or the other succumb to exhaustion there can be no settlement even of a tem porary nature until 'some power be Invoked that' can boas both belliger ents. That the government possesses such power there can be no question. What seems to be lacking is the will to exercise it or the means. Appar ently the president is looking to con gress to provide the means. John L. Lewis seems just, now en gaged in an effort to get from under before the blow falls. He has no de ride to find himself out of a Job. Public funds to the amount of $145,009 have just been allotted for tha Improvement of the Missouri river, from ita mouth to Fort Benton. I As far as any public benefit from the expenditure goes the money might as well be thrown into tha river. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FKEDEBIG J. BASKUT. IMreoMr. Washington. x. C GERMAN 'COMPETITION' NOT FEARED 'Washington. Z. C, Aug. 12. So much has been aaid to the business- men of the United States and other countries about the bugbear of Ger man competition that the department of commerce has made a special in vestlgation of. the subject. It has led to the conclusion that there Is noth ing to fear from Germany In ths for eign trade field. The basis of this conclusion is the high cost of production of German gooda which compete with American goods m the world's markets. The facts assembled by the American gov ernment make it clear that stories of extremely low costs of production in Germany are erroneous and that the American workman's job is not menaced by the competition of the Teuton. What makes the German cost of production appear low and what has enabled Germany to make a show of -competing with tbe United states. Great Britain una other foreign trad' ers with indications of success, is the fact that German lnduatry ia subsl dized in various ways. These sub si dir.!, it is true, enable certain lines of goods to be exported at low figures. but in an economic sense, Germany is tne loser and the actual cost of pro ductlon cannot be leasened by auch bookkeeping legerdemain. If the German government ia subsidizing in dustries. in order that they may pro dues cheaply, Germany is none the less paying the cost because the tax payers must furnish the funds with which to pay tbe subsidy. The railways of Germany have been subsidized to the extent of 35.000,- 000.000 marks a year. This haa meant tnat the government has paid to the railroad what overwise the industries would have had to pay, adding the amount to the cost' of production of the products. Nearly 5,000,000,000 marks have been paid in the last year as subsidy to the telephones and tele graphs. Here again the industries are spared a cost by virtue of its assump aion by the government. Public utilities have received bll lions in Government subsidies and this means that they have been enabled to charge lower rates to industries for power. Save Also In Rents. An extremely important. Indirect subsidy to the industries producing German goods haa been the body of laws limiting the prices of goods for internal consumption and the rate of house rents. By keeping rents down, the government keeps wages down and therefore contributes to the cheapness of production. Before the war, the average German workman paid about 18 per cent of his weekly wages for house rent. Under the re strictive laws which have forbidden landlords to increase rents, the pro portion of weekly earnings paid for rent has decreased materially. It will be seen that if a manufac turer's workmen have to pay only low rents, the wagea for which they can afford to work need not be high. There has been strong pressure from the landlords upon the government authorities to permit increases in rent, but this has been met with the statement that to increase rents would mean a general Increase of wages and a consequent increase in the cost of production of German goods. It is recognized that these condi tions cannot long obtain. The tax payers and the landlords! will weary of paying a large percentage indirectly of the cost of production of the Ger man factories. The German people have stood solidly together in attempt ing to keep down production costs and enable Germany to re-enter the for eign trade in such a way as to under sell the United States and other com petitors, but it is apparent that the farce cannot continue indefinitely. The government experts who made the investigation of German produc tion costs assert that the situation is based on so false an economic struc ture that it must collapse soon and that the longer the subsidized indus tries operate, the sharper will be the reaction. One special report described the hectic prosperity which these fic titiously low production costs stimu lated as a "cataatrophic boom." Value of Marks Important. The value of the German mark has been falling rapidly In international exchange, but it has not fallen ao repidly within Germany. This means that Germany haa enjoyed foreign trade for another fictitious reason. Foreign buyers of German gooda could, with a small amount of their own money, pay substantial sums la marks. The marks are worth more In Germany than anywhere else. There fore it has been desirable "for for eignera to buy German gooda and de sirable for German industries to con tinue this trade. But it is impossible to maintain a one-way trade. Ger many muat buy aa well as sell and in buying the tables are turned. While the declining mark favors sales of German goods, it make it more and more expensive for Germany to buy. The process still is going on, but it shows signs of the inevitable explosion which will bring a sorry end to the whole cycle. This collapse will drive Germany out of the world'a markets, in tha opinion of the government, ex perts. She will be able to re-enter until she Passes thru a tryina- period of deflation and readjustment which will bankrupt thousands. She has no financial- strength to withstand the shock. It la obvious that no one in Germany is saving money, for saving appears to be the most errant folly. If a -man has ten marKs wn;cn ny to morrow will nave tne purcnasing power of only nine,, because of the progressive depreciation, he has no in ducement to save. Instead, he is eager to turn his ten marks into some tangible article while he can. It is reported that some Germans have bought as many as twenty over coats, suits of ctothes, and other simi lar commod.ties for the purpose of getting rid of their marks before they depreciate. The life savines in marks of pre-war workmen would not sup port him for a month, perhaps not a week, under existing conditions of de preciated currency and high com modity prices. W hile Germany is working hard to restore her prestige in the foreign markets, the American government experts are convinced that American manufacturers need not fear competi tion baaed on so flimsy and insecure a foundation. The economic collapse must come, and when it does, the German cost of production will leap up to its actual economic level, unob scured by government subsidies.

CHAPTER 26. "Hip hip hurrah!" Nellie burst into the room where Cora and Gladys were laying off their hats. She had "scarcely been able to contain herself until they came in. She had cleaned the rooms, got dinner, and sang lustily all the time, so happy she could not keep still. "Well, I suppose that means you have found a job?" Gladys questioned. "Yes and oh, girls, such a one! It la with a big bond house, and I'm to be kind of a secretary, and Miss Mc Bride says they are so kind and they aren't the silly kind, want their em ployes to dress plain and neat, just like Cora says, and they pay oh, guess?" "That's right, stop and take breath or you'll never live to take the place," Cora said, laughing. "Ten dollars?" "Nope, you guess, Gladys!" "It isn't less or you-wouldn't be so gleeful. Twelve!" "Nope! I don't known what it will be at first, but if I suit, and I shall, it will be $18 or 20 with a chance to get more later! What do you think of that? Hoop-la! Isn't little Nellie glad Grandpa tried to kiss her! If he hadn't I might have been working for him for 88 until I waa old and gray." "Do quiet down a little, Nellie," Cora begged, "altho I don't wonder you're excited. What is the firm?" "Fallon Son." "I know who they are," Gladys said. "I believe they stand very high. And Miss McBride has said enough to Nel lie to let us know they are all right she wouldn't send a girl to an office where there was a doubt. She told me once she had a blacklist of em ployers, as well as of girls." "I should like to have an office like hers," Cora said thoughtfully. "One could help girls, those that need it so much, and I imagine she makes a good living, too. "Indeed she does, now-1 but it took her some time. She has a big clientele, firms who let her know whenever they want a change or new help. She knows just what kind they want, so keeps them year after year because she eaves them all bother. "Come, let's eat! Dinner will be spoiled if we don't." As the dinner was some cold meat and a salad.- and a cup of tea. the girls only sniffed at Nellie's old joke about It spoiling. To tea the truth they were nearly as ex cited as she, altho they were more quiet. Come on. little sunshine." Cora said when they had finished. "We'll all help clear away, and go -to tbe movies." -i isn't William coming tonight?" Cora had been giving her Saturday evenings to nun. "No, his mother lsn t so well." "I'm sorry for him, but glad 'for myself. I do so love to go out with you and Gladys. It's my treat tool You mustn't say a word. This is my lucky day and it's my day to treat." "Have it your own way. But wait until you meet some nice young man and we'll see v hat you say about go ing out with us then." 'I'd never turn you and Gladys down for anybody!" Nellie indignantly rep uea. A little Incident happened on the way to the moving picture house that amused the girls wo-derfully, yet wor ried Cora a bit also. Nellie-had fallen a little behind to allow some people to pass. A rather common, flashily dreesed young fellow, who evidently thought she was alone, stepped up, took her arm and just as the girls turned, aaid: "Hello, Pretty! What you doing out alone?" "Looking for monkeya!" Nellie an swered, pulling away. "Come now, don't be silly! I'll take you to the movies." "Oh, you will! Didn't I tell you I waa looking for monkeys? Well, you sure fill the bill!" She threw back at him as she Joined the girls. Unking an arm with each. With an exclamation the fellow turned on his heel and went back the way he had ccme. Almost convulsed with laughter as she was, Cora aaid: "Nellie Riley, if you ever dare go in the street without us at night I'll tie you to the bed-post!" Then: "How did you dare .talk to him like that? He looked ugly enough to want to hurt you." "That kind never do anything. They're cowards. There were one or two like him used to come to Miss Carter's. I got their number, all right." "Oh, Nellie! Whatever should we do without you?" Gladys said as she wiped her eyes.

She had hoped to bs al most first in such a line, but waiting for the necessary check had consumed a precious half hour, then she had been buttonholed in the office by a woman with a mission, eke a griev ance, from whom she had escaped by the skin of her temper the same being pretty badly frayed. To find so many folks ahead was distinctly ag gravating. It was nearly noon her breakfast had been meager. Having cash assets of less than two dollars besides the precious checy, she had tried to content herself with oatmeal and black coffee. Now a healthy ap petite was Btrongly rebellious. The line moving jerkily, halting now and then, at last brought her to the window. She thrust in her check, and almost immediately there was a flitter of green paper on the glass shelf. With a relieved sigh she slipped out of rank. and ran over the bills with faintly irermuous lingers. At tne last Dill tne fingers actually shook it was double instead of one ten she held two. Im pulsively she crushed back to the win dow, saying: "There Is a mistake Befpre she could say more the su perior being inside the cage flung at her frowning: "Madam, this bank never, makes mistakes it wishes you woman could or would learn td count money." "Pardon me! We so lack practice," Nora, retorted, turning toward the street entrance, then suddenly wheel ing about to see down the long vista a, sign at the end reading "Presi dent." Half a minute later she faced the president, grim, gray, and reputed a tartar but that she did not know. She flung at him: "Please, sir. Is it true this bank never makes mis takes?" her voice steady enough tho her knees shook a bit. "I am not rash enough to say yes" nor foolish enough to say "no," the president answered, rising? from his chair. "But why the -question? 'This these, rather." Nora re torted, laying the two bills in front or him. "Just now I presented at your second window a check for $25, drawn oy cross Leroy to order of Elinor Maxwell. It was overpaid. as you see when I told the manthere was a mistake he waved me awav insolently." "H-m! Not like Weston. He's a careful fellow,". commented the banker. "Sure you don't bear him a grudge?" "No more than, as a cad, he in sults me by existing," Nora flashed back, her head going up. The banker smiled grimly, asking: "Well, then, why didn't you pocket the money and go along rejoicing?" "Not enough of it. I hate cheap ness, tho my hat does shout 88 cents, marked down from a dollar," Nora countered, her eyes beginning to dance. "Now if it had been a mil-' lion, or even half one "What would you have done?" the gray man asked. A younger man at a window beyond Nora's purview was smiling outright, evidently restrain ing laughter. "Beat it for home and ray poor niggers, rora cried .joyously, fast as I could go." "Where ia home?" from the in quisitor. "Alabama," from Nora. "Grandpa's land has had no other owners than Maxwells since the Indian times. He just managed to keep a little ahead of the factor's mortage till 5-cent cot ton came in "1914, you know. It ruined him and worse. "Half the land went to settle with the factors: the other half barely kept us and our people from starving. You see, the niggers had been in the fam ily since there was a family. It was hard, hard to see them go hungry and ragged; but we didn't let them quite die. When I read of all that was done for folk on the other side it made me sick to think plain American suffering went unheeded "Suffering?" the banker broke in increduously. She nodded. "If you call a Christ mas dinner of plain ashcake, without even a scrap of meat or molasses, good food, perhaps there wasn't any; but, take my word for it. all that fall and winter persimmon bread was our greatest luxury." The younger man stirred ana started to speak. His elder's eye com pelled silence. "So you would take your loot and squander it in charity," he said. Nora faced him dauntlessly, an swering: "If the bank stands to its cashier that it makes no mistakes where would the loot come in, especially after It had been warned of a mis take?" "It WBaisWrt come in. I'm a law yer I Jtow," the young man said, coming forward. Nora smiled at him roguishly. "I am not only hoping to be some day, she said. "That's how I'm here." "You've won your first case. Miss Maxwell," the banker said, bowing. "But I'd pay you a good fee if you hadn't made the case. I hate like everything to dismiss Weston, He is newly promoted; think It must have gone to his head. "Then don't fire him," Nora said compassionately. "Job hunting is so disheartening. I know." "May I ask what your Job is?" he interlocutor said. She answered gravely, tho with twinkling eyes: "I'm the original candy girl; get twenty-five a week for making models warranted to fetch the flapper and equally engage her elder sisters." "You study?" the banker began. "Night school," Nora interrupted. "Has to be that or nothing. Pity I wasn't born a boy, I love law ao well, and then there have been such lawyers in our line. If only I can malre good grandad will be so happy. Even heaven wouldn't be all right for him if he had to know that tha last of us was a rank failure." "You won't be." Banker Lewis said confidently. "Thank you for the trouble you have taken to set this matter right. Isn't there something the bank can do to show appreciation "Surely! Slip back that measly ten and say nothing about it till next week," Nora broke in gayly, adding almost wistfully: "Also something personal. Please tell me where I aan get real food without waiting too long It will be better to show you, Mr. Lewis interrupted. "We'll take Miss Lane, my secretary, and John Lewis Cope, my scapegrace nephew, to make the party complete."

It is a common thing to hear a woman say that she wants her daugh ters to have a perfectly carefree time in their girlhood, and that she is not teacning tnem how to cook, or sew, or keep house because they can learn all that when they have to. She does not realize that instead of saving her daughters trouble, she is adding a hundred fold to their-difficulties, and even endangering their whole life happiness. .For many a man gets his first cold, disillusioned look at the woman he had married when he finds her utterly incompetent to carry on her end of the Job of home making, and the grounds in the cof fee cup have been the grounds of many a divorce. Of course It a woman has any sense at all, and any glimmering of her duties as a wife, she does learn even tually how to cook, and keep house, and cope with the high cost of living, but before she acquires that knowl edge both she and her husband ao thru many agonizing exDeriencea. No young bride ignorantly wrestling- wim tne vagaries or a gas range, and weeping over sad cake, and Jaundiced biscuit, ever thanked her mother for not teaching her how to cook. Nor is any young husband, as he sits down r0 a meal of underdone meat, and burnt bread, and soggy vegetables that have cost three times what they should, filled with gratitude towards the woman whose maternal tenderness routed upon him a wife who had to learn her business at the expense of his digestion and pocketbook, The parents who are so tender of their children that they never teach them self-denial, or self-control are responsible for practically all of the wrecKea nomes. ror It is the spoiled girls and boys who quarrel and fight when they get married. Neither one knows what it ia to give up, orvrecog niies any law except his or her own pleasure and when these undisciplined wills clash matrimonial bonds are burst and hearts break. And it is the parents who cannot endure to make Johnny or Mary do any useful work, or stick to anvthlng after they get tired of it, who are first aid. to all the failures of the world. Johnny and Mary have not the. grit to keep on with a job when it's hard, or to get up early and work late, or to submit to discipline. They are always looking for something easy like they had at home, and somebody to pamper them like mother did, and they never find it. and so they drift into the ranks of those who never make good. It's a great temptation to try to protect your cniidren rrom every harsh wind that blows. But it is a fatal mistake. Life is not a bed of roses. It is a battlefield, and only those win out who are trained down until they are aa hard as nails. (Copyright. 1922. by the Wheeler Syn dicate Inc.) I HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS Written for The Slate Jonrnal BT ELIZABETH THOMPSON Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going with a young man who is dearer to me than any one in the world. I am sure he loves me too, but there are condiv tions which keep him from telling me so. About a year ago his father Invested all his money and lost it. It was money he had inherited and which the family counted on for living. With that money gone all he had was a small salary. The young man I go with had Intended to go back to college- but mstead he had to go to work to help support the family. I want him to tell me he loves me. but he seems as far from doing it now as ever. You will probably say that if he loved me deeply enough he would not let anything stand in the way of telling me. I feel sure, however, that he would say something if it were not for the conditions at home. I can tell in other ways that he loves me. What can I do to make him say something ANXIOUS. Do not try to make the young man say something. If you love him you can help him with your sympathy and' loyalty. He will work out the prob'.em in his own way and when he feels free he will express his love for you. To I IT tl fin. him 1 1 .nmlilnn would be very unwise.

Some Notes by a Tired Man. Montreal," Aug. 9. I begin to suspect that the summer hegira to Canada has been over-estimated. There are, of course, a Rood many Americans touring here .and there in the Dominion. There have been ever since the motorcar became the favorite weapon of the "Americarn public. But I detect no wild and im passioned flight northward. There were more cars on the road along the upper reaches of the Delaware, in the Catskills and in the Adirondacks man I saw between Rouses Point and Mon treal. Literally thousands were burn ing up the highway in an effort to reach the rases at Saratoga. The peo ple coming into Montreal were taking it so calmly that we passed dozens of cars. We managed to get a room m a decent hotel wthout wiring for it. One reason for the existing condition doubtless is that, motorically spealMng will the proofreader kindly permit "motorically" to ride Canada is a 'cul-de-sac. There are good roads into Montreal and Quebec, but, in a man ner of speaking, they lead nowhere else. When one feels the urgeto get out he must back out. I spent a couple of hours this sfternoon trying to figure the three of us Adelaide, the Blue Swallow and myself out of Canada without recourse either to Quebec or Rouses Point. At the end of the period I threw away my license to figure. Another cause which doubtless serves to check the wild wave of American citfsens which swept Canada in 1920 and 1921 is that the average American citizen is coming to rely more upon his personal bootiegprer and less on individual effort. The j bootlegging business ia becoming I stabilized. Familiarity with danger is breeding a contempt for It. people are errowiner less alarmed atthe pros pect of dying or going blind, Nw, I do not assume that American, citizens ever came to Canada because of the superior drinking facilities this coun try affords. I know I did not come for that reason. I am willing to con cede that my fellow citizens are equally pure and upright. But that has been the talk, and I am putting my dynamite in the hole in the stump. One thing that impressed me in the dining room of the Ritz-Carlton to night was that Americans are grow, ing gun-shy and shaky. Every time an American lifts an intoxicant to his lips he sees some sort of ghost. The native English-Canadians were drink ing their favorite vintages in their usual orderly and stately fash'on. To one who Holds no prejudice against forbidden lubricants it is a treat to view the spectacle of an Englishman imbibing his liquor. He ie so calm and orderly about it. But the Ameri can, haunted by the consciousness of prohibition, can no longer drink in a public place without investing the act with an Impalpable attempt at secrecy. I don't know whether that augurs well or ill for prohibition. I merely furnish the scenario; those who wish to do so are at liberty to fit the script to'V. Since we are discuss ing prohibition, and since I have no wish to a-rite of the view from Mount Royal or the beauty of the cathedral of Notre Dame, there seems to be nothing else to talk about, I make nolo of thA reutrninf nxhihitui) li t Vi Canadian retailer. It must be ten or"' twelve miles from the Canadian cus toms town of Lacelle to the King Ed ward hotel in Napiervtlle. But the King Edward is the first lubricating station Americans encounter on their way in. Were conditions reversed, there would be a string" of cheap hotels a mile long, built for the pur pose of catering to the retail trade, just back of the custom house at Rouses Point. Two features of the Canadian land scape intrigued me. Altho I have been in Canada a number of times. I had not previously seen an old-fashioned well-sweep since we left McDonough County, Illinois. That was in 1882. Nearly every farmstead between Rouses Point and Montreal boasts an old-fashioned sweep. That by thetso he repjied, without hesitation, that way, was the procedure employed by tne gentle poet who wrote the im mortal verses about "The Old Oaken Bucket." After he got the water in that way he so thoroly appreciated it that he cave birth in deathless lines in its honor. Drawing water with a sweep is slightly preferable to digging for it, and that is alt The other fea. ture was the patch of tobacco growing near every farmstead. The Americans are a thriftless race; they buy their tobacco at the store. The Canadian farmer still is growing his own. Home grown tobacco is a delectable nar cotic The man who survives it, be longs to a hardy race. Brief note:; In Canada I was able Music Is Essential 'f'

Anybody who thinks the war is over should travel the bucolic circuit. Which brings one back to the original ques tion as to why one goes anywhere.

Topeka passed up an excellent op portunity to cop the game in the first inning- when the bases were filled and no men were out.

OLD ROMAN IS CELEBRATING At 64, Be Is Again Sliapina; Uio White Sox tor a Pennant. B the Associsted Prass.l Chicago, Aug:- 16. "The Grand Old Roman" today is celebrating his sixty fourth birthday. He Is Charles Albert Comiskey. president and owner of the Chicago White Box, and one of. the greatest men in baseball. Builder of what was considered in years gone by one of the greatest baseball clubs In professional ranks. Mr. Comiskey. after wrecking his machine following the w?rld series disclosures of 1919. today sees his reconstructed- team again fighting In the first division. Picked by experts from coast to coast this year as a poor second divi sion club, the White Sox have pro vided one of the greatest surprises of the season. The club after getting s,way to a poor start, suddenly started its climb toward the top of the league, and on June 16, the White Sox were intrenched in third place. The club recently went Into a batting slump but again has struck its stride. Recently Mr. Comiskey startled the baseball world with the announcement that he had bought Willie Kamm, sensational third baseman of the San Francisco club for 1100,000. Kamm will report in 1923. "Commy" was born August 15, 18 5S. I He p'.ayed ball when he was 17 years Iol age. He at one time was a pitcher for the Elgin, 111., club; later he played third base and first base, but as a first baseman he had no superior in his day. He is the only pitcher who has risen from the ranks to be sole owner of a major league ball club. Comiskey's real basebaU career be gan in 187 with the Dubuque. Iown, team. In 1882 he Joined the St. Louis Browns, then in the American Asso ciation, and in 188S he was made manager of the team. In 1885-188(1 the Browns, with Comiskey at the helm, defeated the Chicago White Stockings for the championship of the world. Comiskey remained with St. Louis until 1890. when he took charge of the Players' Leeftue club in Chicago. He returned to St. Louis In 1891 and in 1892 wen to Cincinnati, where he managed the Reds until 1895. Dur-1 ing that period in Cincinnati he met Ban B. Johnson, a newspaper man, and the two became fast friends. In 1895, "Commy" placed a Western league team in St. Paul and in 1900 he transferred the francnise to Chi cago, where with the aid of Mr. John son, the Wrestern leagu was expand ed and became known as the Ameri can league with Mr. Johnson at its head. Under Mr. Com!skey'a ownership the Chicago White Sox. as his team became known, has won two world's championships, lost one, and annexed five American league championships.

THE TOPEKA D TLY STATE .JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1922 A DANGER SIGNAL Aatomatlc Safety for Motor ""Roads Demonstrated Here. One Placed on Carre on Road orth of City. J. Harry Minor, of Kansas City. Mo., the Inventor of a new, automatic safety signal for motor roads, la in Topeka today, and visited the mem hers of the Chamber of Commerce, and county officials In connection with the installation of a number of his signals at danger points on the roads of Shawnee county. A signal was installed Monday night cm a double curve near the Boys' In dustrial school, north of Topeka. and county officials and other men inter ested in the volution of traffic prob lems inspected its operation. The signals consist or a large ob long base, with a disc mounted at the top, thirty-two inches in diameter. In the center of the disc there is a nine- inch red lens. On the outer portion of the disc there is painted the warn iner. "Danger Sharo Curve." or a sim ilar warning describing the nature of the obstacle about to be encountered. Within the body of the signal electrical unit is installed, which pro duces flashes of light thru the red lens in the center. The flashes are produced at the rate of forty or more to the minute, and am visible for sev eral hundred feet. Make 'Em Slow Down. Observers declared that when the lenal light was started at the indus trial school Monday night there was a noticeable slackening of the speed of the Dassing motorists, who hesitated while they investigated the danger mark "and that's the purpose of it. To slow them down and make them Investigate." Minor said today. Minor will endeavor to interest lo cal merchants and to secure national advertising, to be painted on the bases ot the signals, and from which the in come for their installation and their uirkeep Will be derived. A regular service and Inspection for the main tenance of the lights is necessary. The lights have been tried out In other sections of the state and have been endorsed by automobile clubs and similar organizations. A. Lagermlt, county engineer. is thor- oly sold on their value, today. he declared HARDING TO (Contained from Page One.) rejection said it was done merely to clear the atmosphere and that there no change in the ouuook. -Washington, Aug. 15. Visible ac tivities here in the rail strike situation were confined today to a continuation of the mediation efforts of the chair men of the big four brotherhood or panizationa in whose hands the strik ing shop crafts have placed their case. ;..The chairmen, who late yesterday spent more than two hours In confer ence with President Harding in which It was declared a "whole basketful of prepositions were discussed." this morning again .went into conference with representatives of striking unions. The only hint as to what might be expected came from L.- E. Staeppard. president of the conduc tors' brotherhood and spokesman for the- entire group of union chiefs, who said one of the matters to be consid ered today would be whether the la bor men would ask for a further con ference with all the executives or to meet a committee. Another matter in -which a decision might come today sso, according to Mr. Sheppard, was that of the release of the shop crafts' reply to President Harding, which previously had been declared a rejec tion of his proposal to have the whole raatter of seniority rights referred to te labor board, and the brotherhood's awn report which was said to main tain that the "fundamental rights" of the men on strike are more involved than the question of seniority. The rail strike situation, it was also ex pected, would occupy a great deal of fne time ot ine cauinei ntK-ajuii iiruajr. Previous suggestions that the presi dent might appeal to congress for help bn the reconvening of the house to jflay after six weeks' recess were dis pelled by both house and senate lead tors who said they had not been in formed of any Immediate Intention of Hr. Harding to either send a message tor address a joint session. The hope lilso waa expressed by these leaders that the president would be able to kettle the rail difficulty without ap peal to congress.

"f We have had the, sports strlt for some seasons and now the: sports frock! And just what is the sports frock? A dress of light material summery, gay in coloring, and tailored. A perfect example at all this is seen in the illustration above. It is a blue and white tailored crepe de chine model come straight from Paris to Gloria Swanson, the Paramount star, who wears it in her latest picture, "Her Gilded Cage." This chic costume belongs to the chemise type of dress. It has fire panels of self material, with the stripes running horizontally, and hanging, jabot-like, to the bottom of the skirt. A pair of panels is on each side. The fifth panel, longer than the others, runs clear down the front, starting almost at the neckline. The sleeves are short, and set in; they have a new and attractive note in the fact that they are slit on the underside the slit running from the lowest point of the arm hole out to the edge, of the sleeve. A narrow band of self material forms a belt, and finishes the line of the neck. Miss Swanson wears a very smart hat, also from Paris, with this costume. It is of tailored blue and white organdy. Tailored organdy is the dernier cri in the millinery world. Another sports costume is shown in the sketch at the right. It is of striped silk and is trimmed with looped panels. An organdy hat is likewise worn with this frock, and it has a large velvet rosette of black as trimming. A touch of velvet on the mid-summer hat is very popular. 4 J COUNTY FAIR DATES To date Secretary 3. C.

Organiza tion of a Citizens' Committee of Kan aas. whoso object is to work "for the speedy and complete fulfilment of our obligation to Kansas veterans," has been perfected. John Madden of this city, and chairman of the executive board of the committee, announced here today. The announced purpose of this committee is "to not only co operate with the activities of the Kan sas compensation committee of the American Legion, in all Its activities, but also to develop, new lines of en deavor with the idea in view of edu cation in a favorable light, all the voters of the state of Kansas on the justice and economical merits of the proposed Kansas compensation law which comes before the electors of the state on November 7. Donald H. Maclvor. executive hea I of the legion's compensation commit tee at state headquarters at Topeka. announced Just recentry that the com mittee had opened a camiwign of ed ucation to 'acquaint the voters with the merits and provisions of the sol diers' bonus bill which, if passed, would pay some 78,000 Kansas World War veterans $1 a day for the time they spent in service, this payment to bo covered by a bond Issue which would be retired at the rate- of $1. I'OO.OOO annually for twenty-five years. Besides Mr. Madden, who is a prom inent lawyer, the executive board of the Citizens' Committee includes the names of fourteen other well known Kansans. as follows: Mrs. Charles I.

Kulp, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, Topeka. "Because the ex-soldier has no de sire to exploit sentiment or to beg the people whom he protected during the World war to acknowledge any debt of gratitude, this citizens' committee is quite necessary," Mr. Madden said today. "The ex-soldier desires only to educate the voter to the fact that there is Justice in paying a debt and that a debt exists when men are token from civil life and asked to serve in a dangerous line of duty with two-thirds of his pay check written off. It will fall to the lot of this citi zens' committee to fill the gap left by the ex-soldier propaganda. The first duty of this committee then would be to point with pride among the voters of the state to the gallant services of their soldiers to inculcate a sense of patriotic obligation to the state's brave defenders, and to stress the importance of acknowledging a debt of deep gratitude. "In other words, the activity of this committee shall be that of a neutral bystander who wants to see Justice done where Justice is due. For this reason, the propriety of any activity of this committee along this line can not be attacked. It has a noble and unselfish work to perform and it3 course of endeavor should bring re sults as no other one element contrib uting to the final outcome on Novem ber 7 can give." A speakers' bureau of at least fifty persons who will be subject to call by posts of the legion and other local units who desire the compensation program presented by some one other than a 'beneficiary of its provisions, is being organized, Mr. Madden said. Tho plan is to enroll In this bureau as many Legionnaires as necessary in addition to the executive board of the Citizens' Committee.

NOTICE ODD FELLOWS All Odd Fellows wishing to attend Odd Fellows picnic at Lawrence.. Wednesday, August IS. phona 886 for ASK FOR PREMIUM MONEY County Commissioners Unable to Assist' Watson Grange Fair. Several members of the Watson grange appeared before the county commissioners Monday to ask for county assistance in paying the pra miums at a fair which the grange nrnnoses to stacre this fall. The premium list of the grain fair totals $322, and the representatives of the organization asked tne county id furnish one-half of that amount $161 out of the $1,500 which the law permits the county to spend from the general fund in lair premiums. The commissioners were advised, however, that when the state legisla ture in 1915 allowed Shawnee county to levy a special tax to be applied to the expenses of the Kansas State Free Fair, the provision for the spending of the $1,500 from the general fund was eliminated. Therefore, altho expressing their in terest in the grange fair, the commis sioners declared their inability t com ply with the request for money to as sist it from the general fund of the county. I First Compounded This Remedy For My Own Neighbors Their praise of this newer form of Iron lias spread so rapiuiy tnai now, after nine years, over 4.000,000 people use it annually. Years ago I began to wonder at the great number of my own friends ana neighbors who were always ailing. complaining and doctoring, without ever seeming to get any better, oom working men and their wives were frequently all tired out In the evening, anil a. erf at man v were weak, nervous and run-down. One had pains .n the back and thought he had kidney trouble. Another had pains around the hsrt. nalnitations and dizziness, and was sure he was suffering from heart disease. Still others na severo head aches, floating spots before the eyes, tender sDots along th'e spine and a variptv of rtlarminsr symptoms. For years I made a special study of this condition, consulting a ereat number of Ehyslclans anil ciietmsts. An immense num er of investigations by physicians all over the eountrv showed that three people out of every four you met lack 100 iron in their wood. jl.rck or iron in me uimm in the greatest of all devitalising -weaknesses. t la iron In voiir blood that enables vnn n rrr th nourishment out of your food. Without iron, nothing you eat does you any good, lour heart, lungs ana kio neys and nil tout vital organs get their nourishment from the blood stream, and when the blood lacks Iron and is thin, pate and watery, you may suffer from the symp toms of a great number of diseases when the real and true cause of all your trouble is a lack of iron In the blood. in thA niri rim- nennle often took metallic iron, which some physicians claim is not absorbed at all. in compounamg iMuaiea Iron I use the newer form of iron, which is like the iron in your blood and like the Iron in spinach, lentils and apples. Unlike the older forms of iron, it will not ininre the teeth nor disturb the stomach, and it is rAndv for almost immediate absorption and assimation by the blood. It is the people whose blood is rich In iron who possess great strength, force nd energy. If you are not strong or well von owe it to your self to make the following test: See how tong you can work or how far yon can walk without becoming tired. Next take two 5-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times a day after meals for two "weeks then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. An astonishing number of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while, have greatly Im proved their health and increased their strength, energy and endurance simply by taking this newer form of Iron.

(By the Associated Frew.) Washington, Aug. 15. The soy bean is rapidly taking a place as a major crop in the farming systems of the corn belt, replacing oats to a consid erable extent and taking part of the corn acreage, says the department of agriculture. Altho primarily used for forage, pasture and ensilage, the grow ing of seed during the last few years has become a very profitable indus try. The production of seed haaiow increased to the point where the sup ply greatly exceeds the demand for planting. County soy bean associations, grow ers, county agents and extension offi cials, notably in Illinois and Indiana, have concerned themselves in the de velopment of a commercial outlet for the seeds. It is noted. Several mills in those states have become Interested In the possibilities of that bean as a source of oil and meal. Two mills in Illinois have planned to use about 750,000 bushels this season, it has been reported to the department, while other mills are planning on a smaller scale. T The department inspectors have found considerable acreage put to (frowing the soy bean in the northern and corn belt states, showing a con siderable increase. The possibilities of using the bean for oil and meal are ascribed by officials as the reason for the increase. Such a commercial out let affords the grower another cash crop as com and wheat, it is said. Tha varous ways in which the soy bean and Its product are utilized in tha 1101101 States indicate a ready market for the commercial production of soy bean seed, the department cir cular declares. Soy bean oil is largely used In the manufacture of soaps and paints, and It is also used in the manu facture of lard and butter substitutes, rubber substitutes, linoleum and print ing ink, and as salad oil. The cake or meal la a superior cattle feed and of high value for human consumption. HAVE24CENTS1NCASH X. O. Commission Company Also Baa f 3 Worth of Chicken Coops.

Suit has been filed in the office of the clerk of the federal court in To peka, by Bany Levy, of B: ooklyn, N. T., against the Bittman-Todd Grocery company, of Leavenworth, for dam ages in the sum of $5,259.37. The pe tition filed alleges that in 1920, a car load of canned fruit, bought thru the Leavenworth firm, was found to have been damaged in shipment from Cali fornia and to have been of a lower quality than was specified in the pur chase contract. The plaintiff further set forth that the Leavenworth company refused to make any settlement or to be respon sible for the condition of the fruit. The sight draft for the shipment was paid because it was attached to the bill of lading of the car, according to the petition, and the difference be tween the amount of that sight draft and the price for which the fruit was finally sold in New York city, plus the added expenses of Bany Levy in hand ling it. constitute the damages which are asked for in the petition. i K KLLKY FAMILY SELLS PAPER.

The gov ernment proved the wisdom of "Poor Lo" la naming liquor "fire water" some centuries ago. One hundred gallons of liquor confiscated by fed eral customs officers was ordered emptied into the gutter in the usual way yesterday." The thermometer registered 120 In the shade, and when the liquor spattered on the pavement it burst Into llamas from the heat of the sun. The officers moved to another loca tion and started pouring some an to the gutter. Again it burst Into flames. and the flames flashed up the stream of liquor and exploded one of the tanks. The officers then poured the fire water direct into the sewer. Dozens of spectators saw the first water fire. SHRXNERS TO HOLD PICNIC Is Annnnl Sta& Affair for Members of Mldlan Temple. Wichita.

SOLDIERS TP PLAY GOLF Ball Chawing To Be Feature of Legion Convention at Eldorado. Doughboys who were wielding ri fles, grenades, and shovels to make the world safe for democracy four years ago. will offer a striking trans formation this summer when they gather at the state convention of the Kansas American Legion at Eldorado in September, and play golf. A golf tournament fancy that, old deah! is to be one of the features of the convention. The scoffing heretics who have called golf "effeminate," "doddering." "puttering" and "sweet," will now kindly recede to the rear of the hall and take a sedentary position. If the doughboys of 1918 want to play golf In 1922, golf isn't any of those things. On the suggestion of a number of the Legionaires who are golf "bugs," Frank Samuels, state adjutant of the American Legion, has suggested to the entertainment committee of the con vention, that a legion tournament will prove at attractive feature of the con vention, and will induce Legionaires who wouldn't otherwise have time or money or something to attend the meet, to go, be there and to stay for the entire period of the convention. There are a large number of enthu siastic performers on the links on the rolls of the legion In Kansas. Some of the star players in both the Topeka clubs are members of the legion and take a heartfelt interest in the game. The same condition exists In other dis tricts of the state.
