MILK IS SCARCE.
Manufacturers Are Selling "Custard"
Instead of Ice Cream.

| a scarcity of milk that may result
in a short time in an increase in the
price to consumers, is being felt in
Topeka. There is nothing like a milk
famine in sight. the dealers declare,
but the cows must combat both heat
and flies. and with the pastures grow
ing a bit short through the persistent
drouth. they are on a small scale
strike, and are not furnishing as much
milk as they did earlier in the season.
The immediate result of the condi-
ton is expected to be an increase in
price, of perhaps a cent a quart.
Proba bly, instead of giving II quarts
for dollar the price will be increased
to l , quarts for a dollar.
Except in a few cases there seems
TO be plenty of forage in the pas
lures" declared L. r. Manley, man
ager of the Topeka Pure Milk COM
pany- But with the high tempera-
lures and the flies to combat the
cows are not producing as much milk.
1t is about the normal reduction in
supply incident to the time of year
We do not look for any serious trou-
BILE, although there is something of a
shortage just now.
The pasturage is rich, and many
of the pastures are full of good grass,
although it is pretty dry. Only a
small increase in price is expected to
result from the hot weather and con-
tinued drouth, for the present at
least
Some of the ice cream manufac-
turers have been having trouble in
obtaining cream for their use The
trouble has led some of them to man
ufacture cream below the standard of
butter fat. They have been selling it
under the statement that it fell below
the legal standard, and in most cases
have not called it ice cream, but have
termed Ii ''custard."

FIRE HORSES To GO.
They Will Be Replaced by Motor APP
paratus in Topeka

AS rapidly as possible motor appara-
tus will replace the horses in the To-
peka fire department This was the
statement made today by Mayor r. L.
Cofran. The city cannot replace its
horses all at once But motor trucks
are proving so valuable. and the ex-
pense of upkeep is proving smaller
than for horses. the mayor says, so he
is in favor of abandoning the horses
as rapidly as possible.
A motor for the hook and ladder
truck at the central station and motor
apparatus to replace the horses of
station No. I that were burned a few
days age probably will included
in the fire department budget for this
year. Next year an effort will be made
to include motor apparatus for the
North Topeka station in the budget.

mayor is in favor of replacing them
with motors
Since the accident that robbed the
department of its splendid team at No

marth and Mayor Cofran have written
to various factories asking for prices
on apparatus needed TO fill the va
cancy. They have not yet heard from
any of them.
TT will take time to make the de-
partrnent what it ought to be in the
way of equipment" Mayor Cofran said
But I think ii is pretty safe to say
that We will buy no horses. VIVA
We will buy will be motor apparatus
At this stage of advancement 1t
would be poor policy to buy horses"

And Blow Fell on His Shin But Man
Sues for Loss of Eye

Because he was kicked on the shins
by a mule and lost the use of one OF
his eyes, John W. Lindall of KanapO-
lis wants to collect for the loss of
eyesight and has appealed to the in
surance superintendent office to
help him get the money. Evidence as
to how the injured shin resulted in
the loss of an eye is rather vague, but
it is one of the puzzling problems that
are occasionally submitted to the
state insurance department
Ike :. Lewis, insurance superintend-
ent, today looked over the evidence.
Then he decided that he didn't want
to take a hand in the controversy
Lindall carried an accident policy
with the Occidental Mutual Life
company For the injury to his shins
he could collect only a nominal sum-
but the loss OF an eye was rated at
$500 in the schedule of price paid for
damages. Now Lindau is trying to

DEMOCRATS AGCRIEVED
There Are Mutterings Over the APP
pointment of Guy Taylor

There are strange mutterings from
the Democrats in the state house since
the appointment of Guy T. Taylor of
Topeka as head of the pension office
in Washington at salary of $4,000 a
year. 1t isn't just the complaint re-
garding Taylor's appointment that has
caused Democratic alarm. but it is the
fact that Miles Mulroy life long
Democrat was sidetracked to give
Taylor the place that is making new
trouble.
United States Senator William H.
Thompson. He has for years been Il
Democrat, but also served as a civil
service appointee under Republican
administrations in the Topeka pension
office. When Thompson was elected
last fall, the report became quite gen
eral that Senator Curtis's Democratic
successor proposed to take care of
his old friend.
Then the Topeka postoffice fight
sprung up. Taylor was doped as
strong candidate for the place. Will
Rigby and DIR. G. P. Ashton were both
candidates. While the fight was
warming up for the Topeka job, other
Kansas Democrats were in Washing
ton looking over the list of possible
jobs and making their selections Burt
E Brown had been pushed aside in
his fight to land a $500 appointment
came to Kansas men when Thomas ".
Morgan was given the wardenship of
the federal prison at Leavenworth.
In the meantime Miles Mulroy of
Hayes, a life long Democrat, speaker
pro tenn of the last house and a work
er whose efforts count for much in
western Kansas, was in Washington
expecting to find a nice job that would
just suit Finally MulrOy decided that
the job in the disbursing office of the
pension agency would please him and
be about what he was looking for.
Many Kansas Democrats were strong
for his appointment. They argued
that western Kansas should have a
good substantial federal appointment
since Morgan from the eastern half of
the state had landed the job at Leav-
enworth. But Mulroy was advised
that because of some existing circun-
stances. he was not eligible to the APP
pointment. A few days later the place
went to Taylor. Senator Thompson's
old friend. And now there are a good
many staunch Democrats especially
from the western portion of the state,
who admit that they are not pleased.
Perhaps the appointment of Taylor
to the Washington job will make the.
settlement of the Topeka postoffice,
fight much easier. But it won't salve
the feelings of the men who wanted
Mulroy provided with a nice federal
appointment.
