NEW YORK STOCKS ADVANCE.
Railroads VIII Probably Increase
Equipment Orders After Election.

New York, Oct 22-Stocks were
carried through a temporary reaction
this week to a fresh advance to new
high levels for the period since the
lowest figures for the year were
touched. The setback was caused
jointly by profit taking and by APP
prehension of the effect on the money
market of the advance in the Bank of
England discount rate
The large favorable balance shown
by the country,s foreign trade for Sep
TENDER did much to quiet anxiety over
the former abnormal conditions.
There was a belief that the railroads
had signified an intention to increase
orders for new equipment after the
election, feeling assured that an in
crease in charges for freight would
be allowed them

Old Buildings in Topeka, o her

PROPERTY INCREASE.
Suburban Districts Are More
I. Desirable for Residences.
Trade Gives Employment to
Many Add. tiOnal Citizens.

Nv hat the automobile business and
its allied trades are doing for Topeka
in the way of commercial development
as well as increasing the value of real
estate can scarcely be realized unless
comparison is made with the city's
growth in the years before the auto
mobile business gained its present
proportions" said a Topeka automo-
bile agent today. New buildings, nice
roomy, airy structures, we'll built and
modern, have been erected on nearly
every prominent thoroughfare of the
city. Rooms and buildings which 9TH
erwise would be lying idle are occu-
pied by the repair shops, paint shops
and dealers in automobile accessories.
1.-The advent of the automobile into
Topeka'S commercial life has given the
man who so desires the opportunity
to locate his residence in the suburban
portions of the city and at the same
time get back and forth to his business
with ease and comfort.
This condition in turn has had the
tendency to increase the value of the
residence property. Let me say here
in reply to the statement made by
some people to the effect that auto
mobiles are the causes of mortgaged
homes and low real estate values, that
in my experience in the automobile
business have found that but a very
small percentage of the automobile
owners do any mortgaging or borrow
ing to buy their machines. Only those
who need and can afford them have
them. If there is an extension of time
on machines the dealer has to stand
the strain

operation. The test will be continued
until both vehicles have been driven

THE FIRST FIRE.

1t is only where the customs of
old are maintained and where the luz
ury of the steam-heated fiat is I'M
known that one can delight in the
first fire of the season, sitting in the
radiant glow Of the pine or oaken
logs and absorbing their grateful
warmth.
Whether it is at the family fireside,
with happy children's faces in the
radiant circle, or in the bachelors
den, with his satanic majesty's"
feet propped up over the CRATE, the
first fire brings dreams and thoughts
of other days.
Every child takes an eager delight
in the first touch Of winter, that sea-
son which brings so many good
things to children's hearts. Not only
the younger but the older members
of the family take note of the first
fire. Even the bachelor grows remin-
iscent over the glowing embers that
usher in the fall season. Perhaps he
dreams of the many maidens whose
charms have won his heart, or of the
one whom he hopes some day to make
his own
It was a pretty and venerable Gus
tom that the Romans had in the wor-
ship of the Lares and Penates, their
household gods. Our fireside Of today
is a survival of the custom But the
dweller in the steam-heated fiat
KNOWS not the luxury of the glowing
CRATE and the dying embers, which
are indeed growing to be luxuries in
the cities of today If he loves the
fragrant traditions of the firesides of
the past, he is to be pitied.

WHITE SLAVERY TRAFFIC
NENACES YOUNG GIRLS
Catholic Congress- Discussed the
Evil in All It's Phases.
LOCAL PROTECTION FOR GIRLS
Father Mueller-Simons, Of StrassbsaTs, Says
Number Of Girls Who Fall Into the Hands
Of the White Slavers Is Immense.

Washingon.-The first national con-
ference of Catholic charities discuss
ed charity work in all its varied
phases. The conditions OF Catholic
charities throughout the country were
discussed, and the protection Of
young girls in our large cities" and
'the state and charity were consid
BRED in two sections Of the confer
ence, which met simultaneously
Rev. r. Mueller-Simons of Strass-
burg made report on the. Interna-
tional Association for the Protection
of Young Girls, and set forth the
dangers which confront the girl who
leaves home in search OF means Of
livelihood
The so-called white slave traffic, he
declared, was the greatest danger in
the path of the girl The number OF
these traffickers, men and women, he
added, is an immense one. To wage
war against these evils, he advocated
the creation of special central offices
Of the association for the protection. Of
girls, located in the most importans
city OF each diocese, and cooperating
with Catholic societies and homes for
the protection of girls all over the
world.
AnoEler phase of the question which
Father Simons urged upon his hearers
was the protection of girls in their
respective native cities. This local
protection, he added, was being I'M
dertaken in this country by the
many Catholic institutions and socie-
ties organized for the purpose.
The conference received reports
from number of city committees on
the question Of protection OF girls.
Many causes were assigned for the
downfall of girls, including cheap
dance nails connected with saloons,
cheap lodging houses and low wages.
The general conclusion Of the reports
was that the problem was one Of great
magnitude and completely and that
probably the best method to meet 1t
now is to organize local city commit
tees, in which all charity organiza
tions will be represented and keep In
touch with the national conference.
Rev. Monsignor White Of Brooklyn
presided over the section Of the CON
ference which considered the pro
lection of young girls in our large
cities"

a PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

The editor took a trip into Cnokee
last week, and he saw some fine
crops. He saw a good MANY that
were not fine. We had just as well
face the fact that this crop wear with
very few exceptions, is unusually
short, and we believe that farmers
will be not SO we'll off at the end Of
the years operations as they were
at the beginning. Messrs. Cassels
and Kaylor have the finest fields of
corn that we have seen this year,
giving promise of from forty to fifty
bushels of corn to the acre over the
entire field. Messrs. H. A. Harris and
Berry Wallace have the best cotton
crops we saw. We went over Mr..
Wallace's crop and it made us feel
real proud to see it. 1t was an in
spiration to us and we believe would
be to any one who would go over it.
We propose to go into detail about
this crop for it deserves it, and we
believe that a statement of the facts
will encourage friendly emulation
among the farmers of the county,
and thus do good. We say it is the
only rational solution of the labor
question. Mr. Wallace runs twelve
plows and they are troopers; work
to the pillow "a acres in cotton, and
| 1-3 or 2 in corn and 5 in oats, be-
sides some in cane, potatoes, etc. He
expects to make this season 18 bales
to the plow, and his corn will go rs.
to 80 bushels per acre and his oats
40 per acre Besides this Mr.. Wal
lace raises nogs and has fine lot.
The land on which this was made,
while good land, is no better than
thousands of acres over the county.
There is more in the man than there
is in the land" is the secret. How it
is done, he used a traction engine on
all his land that was stumped, break
ing up ten acres per day twelve incn-
les deep. AS rule he made mix
ture of one sack cotton seed, meal,
one of best grade Of acid phosphate,
and one of muriate Of potash, so that
(if remembered correctly makes a
fertilizer analyzing about 1912 4 or 5.
OF this he uses about one-third at
planting, balance on each side of
the cotton, first or second blowing,
and in June applying a mixture of
nitrate of soda and cotton seed meal,
about 200 pounds per acre, cultivating
shallow and rapidly The large
amount of fertilizer (1,OO0 pounds
per acre., when you consider the
yield, the extra amount of cotton
seeds, and what is left on the land,
is not after all very heavy. Mr. Wal
lace uses his traction engine to gin
mis- cotton. This land less than 20
years ago sold in the woods for 81. SO
per acre, and now what would it
bring?
We propose from time to time to
notice other fine examples of enter
prise in our county.

ED
NECESSITY FOR FARMERS Or
GANIZATIoN.

Again we would call to the consid-
Grafton of our farmers the great ne
cessity of getting together, exchang-
ing ideas and planning for a general
uplift of affairs. Any one who for. a
moment will watch the effects of the
plan put in motion by the Albany
Herald of stressing the advanced Gull
ture Of corn, in the great interest
excited on the subject and the almost
marvellous results accomplished al
ready must rejoice if he has the well
fare of the land at heart. Other
branches await action, and we say let
the waters be stirred, and let the
farmer come into his own. The re-
suits will be felt by every class OF
citizens. Who would have dared to
predict few years ago that without
any very special effort our farmers
kould grow from 80 to 80 bushels of
corn per acre? Mark our prediction,
before many years you will hear OF
larger yields right mere in our coun-
ty. as we'll as elsewhere.
