They Will Help the Poor and
Care for Unfortunate.

Mrs. L. E. Thorpe, the newly ap-
| pointed police matron, who in former
years made of her department a char
ity institution and did an excellent
work, will act in harmony with the
Provident association and C. N. Bacon
the county poor commissioner, but will
not attempt to personally provide for
the unfortunate.
We have neither room nor time for
charitable work. said Mrs. Thorpe to-
day. In former years when there was
no Provident association this work was
necessity. I expect to do every
thing possible to help the Provident as
ISOLATION and Mr.. Bacon"
The Provident association has a plan
for helping a certain destitute family
to help themselves, but the details can
not be worked out without the aid of
generously inclined Topekans. The
family consists of a husband and wife
and two children, five and two years
old respectively. The father of the chill
dren is sick and the mother and wife
must necessarily spend her time at
home caring for her sick husband and
her children.
There is an unoccupied room in the
house, which if furnished could be
rented and thus bring in sufficient in
come to provide food for the family.
The Provident association will furnish
bed provided that interested citizens
come to the relief of this family of
foreigners by supplying a dresser, two
chairs, table, and some linen.
The Provident association will call
for the articles mentioned and deliver
them to the proper place.
An effort is being made to procure an

The charity organizations at Kansas
City, Kansas, Wichita and Topeka are
making arrangements to cooperate in
organizing similar institutions in other
Kansas cities.
AT the present time the small cities
of Kansas make no attempt to organ
ize for charity work. They dump their
paupers on other towns by furnishing
transportation. It is certain that such
a plan does not relieve the situation
as far as the individual is concerned.
A conference between the officials of
the charity organizations of the three
cities mentioned will be held in the
near future for the purpose of working
out a Dlan of action.

HUERTA IGNORES
WILSON'S MESSAGE
Declares Charges unfounded; Project
Impossible. Wilson Announces
Munitions Will be Kept
From Both Factions.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Replying to
the ultimate mediation proposition OF
the United States as presented by John
Lind, Provisional President Huerta,
through Mexican Minister of Foreign
Relations Federico Gamboa, said:
1.-The government of Mexico has paid
no attention to the advice and consider
atoms expressed by the government of
the United States; has done this Oh ac-
count OF three principal reasons:
First, because Mexico entertains
the highest respect for the personality
of his excellency Woodrow Wilson.
Second, because certain European
and American governments, with which
Mexico cultivateS the closest relations
of international amity, having in d
most delicate, respectful way, highly
gratifying to us, made use OF Their
good Offices to the end that Mexico
should accord you hearing, lnaSmuch
as you were the bearer OF a private
mission from the president OF the
United States.
Third, because Mexico. was anxious
not so much to justify its attitude be
fore the inhabitants of the republic il
the present emergency, the great ma
iority of whom have signified their al
hesion and approval, as to demonstrate
in every way the justice OF its cause.
1.-The imputation in your instruction
that no progress has been made toWdr'
establishing in the capital of Mexico
government that may enjoy the re
spect and obedience OF the Mexlca
people is unfounded. "
President Wilson appeared in person
before congress today and revealed I
the world details of this nations effort
to bring about peace in Mexico; tn
facts concerning Huerta'S rejection {
the peace proposals, and the policy
be pursued by this government.

SEVENTY MILLION BUSHEL
CORN CROP IN LOUISIANA
This Vast Yield Places Louisiana in
in Front Ranks as Corn ProduC-
ing State. Money Returns
Will Be Enormous.

Louisiana will raise 100000 bushels
of corn this year, and it will be worth
close to $5O,000,0O Corn growers
have so much corn they are wondering
now they're going to get it to market.
They are surprised at their own
records. If sugar plantations were
turRed into corn patches and hog and
cattle pastures it would be a great
blessing for the state.
A reduction in or a complete removal
OF the sugar tariff has no terrors for
Colonel o. W, Crawford, planter, stock
raiser and retainer, who sees great
prosperity ahead for Louisiana corn
growers. Corn, and not cotton or
cane. will be the king of all products in
the Pelican state" he said and he pre-
diets that 1914 will see 100,0OO,O0O
bushel crop worth twice as much as
the greatest crop Of sugar the state
has ever grown.
Colonel Crawford has just returned
from a trip through several corn rails
ing sections of the state and he argued
that the biggest problem for the corr
raiser now is how to get his product tc
market. This, because they have no
been accustomed to handling so mucf
corn and, the grainaries and storage
rooms available are hopelessly made
Quate. Temporarily this may caus
some loss to the corn farmers.
, "a conservative estimate Of the yiel'
, for the year is 100000 bushels" de
, clared the Colonel. There are lots @
fields that will yield from so to 6
bushels per acre, and have heard o
good autho 'ity that Illinois farmer
who have settled in the vicinity
Raceland and Paradis will gather fror
