FROM THE FARMS
Come the Wealth and Sustenance of
Nation, Said JAS. j. Hill, to Bankers.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-'The idea that
we feed the world is being corrected;
and unless we can increase the agr1-
cultural population and their product,
the question of a source of food sup
ply at home will soon supersede the
question of a market for our own
products abroad"
This was the warning given by Jas.
J. Hill at the convention OF the
American Bankers association today,
during a discussion of the. decline OF
agriculture and its consequences. Mr..
Hills subject was National Wealtn
and the Farm"
I'VE have" said the speaker, al
most reached point where, owing to
increased population without 1ncreas-
ed production per acre, our home feed
supply will be insufficient for our own
needs; within ten years, possibly less,
we are likely to become a wheat-1m-
porting nation; the percentage of the
population engaged in agriculture
and the wheat product per acre are
both falling; at the same time the
cost of living is raised everywhere by
this relative scarcity of bread, by artf-
fetal increase in the price of all man
ufactured articles, and by habit OF
extravaganza which has enlarged the
view of both rich and poor of what
are to be considered the neceSSarieS of
life. These plain facts should disturb
and arouse not only the economic
student but the men who are most
intimately related to the wealth of
the nation and most concerned that
it shall not suffer loss or decreases.
Mr.. Hill declared that never yet
has enhanced cost of living. when due
to agricultural decline and inability
to supply national needs, failed to end
in national disaster.
Mr.. Hill said the farm is our main
reliance and that every other activity
depends on that. He asserted, how
ever, that the majority of people foil
to realize practically the declining
status of agriculture in the country
"They are misled by the statistics Of
farm values and products, mounting
annually by great leaps, into thinking
that this absolute increase implies a
relative advance of this industry as
compared with Others" said he. "Ex-
actly the opposite is the case. l refer
not merely to the quality and results OF
our tillage, but to the setting of tie
field and toward the factory gate or the
city slum. This is something whose
consequences for evil are as certain as
if the aggregate deposits in all the
banks of this country were decreasing
by a fixed percentage every ten years.
while their loans were increasing By
another percentage just as stable You
would know what catastrophe that as
sured by and by.
1T means the same thing, in kind
and consequences, when the agricu'
tural population the producers and de-
positors in the great national treasury
of wealth. is declining year by year.
while the city population, which thr;ves
only by drawing drafts upon the land
and cannot live year after these
cease to be honored, rises at its ex
pense. Yet not only is such a crisis az.
preaching, but it is being fastened by
legislative stimulation in favor of 9th
er industries while overlooking this

PLAY BALL IN MORNING.
One of Tomorrow,s Games VIII Be
Played in Forenoon.

Tomorrow's baseball game between
the Topeka and Wichita Western
league teams will be played at 1920 in
the morning. On account of the rival
attractions of the Buffalo BiIl' show
and the races in the Afternoon this pro-
cedure was deemed advisable by the
two arrangements.
Both teams arrived in Topeka this
morning, Wichita coming from Omaha,
and Topeka from Des Moines Wich-
ita arrived early in the morning, while
the locals didn't get in until about
dinner time. The Wichita team is
somewhat crippled. Buck Weaver, who
has been troubled with asthma all sea-
son, is not with the team and probably
will not be again this season. Bren-
nan, who has been on the sick list,
Joined the team here today. Magnate
Jack Holland went home from Omaha
last night and will not be with the
team during their short sojourn in To
peka. Jokerst, the new Wichita catch
er. will work behind the bat and the
venerable Lew Armstrong will officiate
on the initial sack.
Two games are being played this
afternoon. Boles and Kaufman are
pitching for Topeka, while Brennan and
Shaner were announced as the WIGHT j.
slab ornaments.

SUES CITY RAILWAY.
DIR. w. j. Stewart Whose Auto Was
Wrecked Asks for $3.50.

DR.. w. j. Stewart of Summerfie1d
whose automobile was smashed up
and he himself in a wreck with a
street car at the corner of Eleventh
and Spruce streets last summer filed a
damage suit in the district court to-
day asking $3.50 from the Topeka
Railway company.
The petition alleges that the street
car track was not visible from the ap
proaches by reason of trees along the
parkings, that street car limited by
ordinance to IL miles an hour was
coming at an excessive rate of speed
when the doctor approached the
crossing, that the doctor stopped his
automobile as quickly as possible
which left it on the car track and that
the motorman who had ample time
to stop had he--not been running SO
fast, smashed into the machine,
throwing it As feet and injuring him.
He asks $500 damage to the car,
$3.50 loss from disuse of it during re-
pair, $4,000 for his injuries, $500 for
loss of practice during eight weeks of
recovery, 5000 for medical attention,
and $4,000 as exemplary damage.

OZONE COMPANY NEEDS OZONE
Petition in Bankruptcy Filed and
Receiver Is Appointed.

A petition for bankruptcy has been
filed against the Ozone Disenfectant
company of Topeka and Clara Bailey
was appointed receiver by Judge
Dana of the district court.
The petition was made by r. A.
Richards who alleges he was asked
to take a position as assistant man
ager at a salary of $3.50 a month by
the president and manager, D. N.
Hitchcock. After he had accepted
the position, however, Hitchcock
came to him. the petition states. and
told him he would, be required to take
$4,000 of the stock of the company.
This Richards finally consented to do
provided he might apply his salary of
$3.50 a month as payment.
Then Hitchcock. by unwise invest
ments and expenditures involved the
company in debt and squandered
some $1,000 of earnings of the COM
pany entrusted to him.
Richards claims the company to be
wholly insolvent. It's debts amount to
$4,000 while the chemicals and sup
plies and Office furniture are worth
but $1,000.

SCHOOLS ARE OPEN.
Attendance Is Large and Organiza-
ton Is Completed.

The school children of Topeka are
probably the busiest people in Topeka
today-at least in their estimation
commenced this morning. Enrolment
and the assignment of lessons for to-
morrow occupied the greater part of
the time at the various schools today,
but real work will commence tomor-
row. The pupils were all excitement
this morning as they filed along at an
early hour to their respective schools.
Many of the youngsters were wearing
a smiling expression of countenance
but there were a few who were loath to
have play days end whose faces were
decidedly elongated.
The enrolment reports from the
various schools will not be in until to-
night, and it would be hard to make
an estimate in regard to the enroll
ment. The general opinion among the
teachers is that it has been satisfac-
tory. There was some confusion, how
ever, on account of a newspaper state
ment to the effect that there would
be no school today on account of the
fair. A number of inquiries were
thought that the schools would be dis
missed during the afternoon.
At the high school enrolment COM
menced at $3.50 this morning. No seri-
Gus work was attempted. Principal
Stout is DESTROYS that the parents visit
the school from time to time and
thus keep in direct touch with the
are doing in the high school. At the
end of each none weeks a report will
be sent to the homes showing the gen
eral standing of the pupils Each
teacher will have an afternoon a week
for consulting with pupils and patrons

DOLLEY DEFENDED LAW.
Kansan Raised His Voice for Guaranty
Law at Chicago Convention.

Chicago, Sept 14.-Coincident with
the preliminaries for the main conven-
ton, the convention of the National
Association Of Supervisors of State
banks was held at which the super
visors from each state represented out
lined the conditions of banks in their
state.
The representatives from Kansas
and Oklahoma spoke strongly in favor
of the guaranty law now in force in
those states.
A. NJ. Young of Oklahoma declared
that it was not easy for an improper
person to open a bank in his state and
j. N. Dolley of Kansas insisted that
had the bank guaranty law been in
force throughout the country for
forty years it would have offset all the
losses suffered in that time by de-
poSitors.

CRUEL TO HIS AFFINITY
So Alice Wants Real Divorce From
Allen Brown.

Alice Brown, who alleges she is the
wife of Allen Brown, has filed a petit
ton in the district court for divorce.
The petition states that the couple have
lived man and wife and represented to
relatives, friends, acquaintances and
But now the affinity bubble is declared
bursted She can no longer love him
for he has been so cruel.
She alleges that he has treated her
with so little consideration that she
can no longer do homework nor pro-
vide for herself as is her wont, that he
has become jealous and made false ac-
cusations against her, that he has
grossly insulted her grown daughter
and spent his money with other wo-
men.
But more than that the defendant,
she says, is now engaged in supplying
a few special customers with liquors
and at times assume the role of a boot
logger and jointist.
The come and live with me" mar
riage she says was made after the de-
PENDANT told her he had been to see a
lawyer who said that since she had
been divorced from a former husband
they were at liberty to go and get mar
ried as they chose.
Alimouy pending the action is asked.
The defendent is said to own three lots
near the corner of st. John and North
Jockson streets in North Topeka and
to have a large sum of money deposited
in the Citizens State bank. She asks
that the 6efendent be enjoined from
selling, mortgaging or otherwise dis
posing of the property and from draw
ing his money from the bank. The re-
straining order was made.
She also wants permanent alimony
because his cruelty has untitled her for
work of any kind in an endeavor to
support herself.
