The Club House idea.
The suggestion made by members Of
the Shawnee Motor league that q club
house be constructed together with 100
stalls for automobiles has created much
florists OF tho city. The plan was given
publicity in last Saturdays issue OF
the State Journal. A meeting of the
Shawnee Motor league viii be called

for consideration. The idea in brief il
to lease q piece Of ground. erect . two
story club house in the center Of the
property, and on the Rides construct 100
stalls where automobiles may be kept
day or night when the owners are In
their offices or at the theaters.
Ono OF tho leading motorcycles Of
the city was pleased with tho suggss-
ton and expressed himself a. believing
that the motorcyclists might like to get
in on the proposition. He said: 1.-The
Topeka Motorcycle club has talked
about q club house. but We have not
seen our way clear to finance It. We
might be of material Assistance to the
autoists, and I hope that q conference
between representatives. can DO ar
ranged soon or joint meeting Of the
two organizations
The plan Is thus far confined to talk.
but there are those who see no reason
why q club house to cost five or ten
thousand dollars should not DO built.
The first floor could be devoted to rest
rooms for both ladies and gentlemen.
and on tho second floor could be an
assembly room that might be trans
formed into q banquet room when oc-
caSion demanded.

THE POETRY OF A BARN.

There is a spirit Of poetry about a
barn, and. unconsciously, men are
touched by It. In youth It kindles our
imagination and fosters our suscepti-
bility to the simple beauty OF common
things; daybreak - with the fresh
sweetness OF the wet grass about us
as we go up the path toward the great
barn and darkly silhoueted against the
Frightening sky, with the weathercock,
high up against the topmost band OF
pink. pointing to clear
With the opening Of the barn door
the days work begins-the horse
whinnies to the sound, for his corn;
the cattle move expectantly In their
stancheon rows; the chickens cackle
and cluck in the hay loft. as they drop
futtering TO the floor. Day has begun
day, with all its activities, with all
its commonplaces, with all its mys-
teries. Something of all this we feel.
unknowingly, as We pull back the
heavy bolt and throw open the barn

RETURN FLOW Of
MONEY To BANKS
War Scare Has subsidized and Conf.
denee h Fully Re-
stored.
CBy Associated Press)

10y AEHWNAdAtA AlfErsN
New York, Aug. 20.-An interesting
development in the financial situation
yesterday was the evidence that much
money taken from New York banks
during the early alarm engendered by
the foreign crisis, is flowing back.
This return flow is largely Offset, how
ever, by increased demands OF interior
banks. The West is calling for crop
moving money and the South is de.
manding cash to harvest cotton for
which cotton planters recently receiv'
ed material assistance from local insti-
tutions, but this, II now appears, was
sufficient only to meet small part
OF their needs.
Already there is talk OF redeeming
some of the emergency currency al
ready issued. However, with money
at 6 and per cent the first three
months of this current period, there
is little likelihood that these notes will
be redeemed until the latter part OF
the year, II the numerous exchange
brokers reported some business from
Berlin today, drafts being issued in
triplicate. that is, bills were issued &c
that center and by way of Holland and
Italy, in the hope of reaching the Ger
man capital Rates on London were
higher than yesterday with smaller
volume of business.
Crop prospects were somewhat i'm
proved over night by rains In the
Southern corn belt, but in certain sec
lions of the Northwest the rain came
too late.
General trade advices again were
conflicting, more steel mills following
the lead of the larger independents In
advancing prices, while others engaged
in special lines are working on shorter
time and otherwise curtailing.

WOMAN AND THE HARVEST.

Milady in France has been called
upon by the French Premier to COM
plete the harvest OF the crops while
their husbands and fathers are fight
ing in defense of their country. The
women Of France have a great object
lesson by which they may profit IN the
heroism and deathless devotion Of the
women OF the South during the war
OF the Confederacy.-Bryan Eagle.
The French women will rise to their
obligations like the herones that they
are. In every war the women pay a
heavier price to fate than the men pay.
Not only will the French women in
wade the fields as harvesters. The
German women will be not a whit less
eager to cast themselves upon the al
tars of their beloved country. The
glory Of woman is her heart, and in
France and Germany ten million
women's hearts are breaking under
ten million intrepid bosoms.-State

= The last conscious utterance OF the
Pope was an exhortation to the whole
world to pray for peace To die with
a prayer of peace upon his lips was
certainly a glorious climax TO a life
devoted to keeping the faith. His
great heart was stilled while yearning
for the peace of Nations. and In death
he found for himself that peace which
passeth understanding.

EXPECT PRICE OF
FLOUR WILL JUMP

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 20.-Dealers
here say It will probably not be long
before flour will go as high as $3.50 or
$40 a barrel. Replying to the state
ment that there was no excuse for the
advance in price, flour dealers say that
there already has been great In
crease in the foreign demand for flour
and wheat. 1.-THE only thing that pre-
vents shipments is that we cannot in
sure delivery" said an exporter. "If
British ships resume regular sailings
we will have the largest export bust
ness in wheat and -four that we have
had in years."

NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE
 IS ON LEVEL

 There has been some gossip annonE persons calling thenseIve fans to the effect that everything fs not exactly on the level in the National League race this season, and that the race has been doctored up to prevent ali the teams from losing money which would have been the case if the Giants had made a runaway race of 1t, with it's closest rival seventeen miles away
 These same stfans'' cannot under stand why the American League did not get in the swim, except that they figured. three races with a hundred points separating the first and last teams would make it look too raw

 It was only necessary to look at the faces of the Boston and Giant plav< CTS during their last serres on the Polo Grounds to know that the bat ties were. decided strictly on their merits. The happy, enthusiastic Bos- ton faces, milling and hand-shalzine. spoke a story by themselves of the wonderful climb the Braves had made from the very bottom sf the pit.
 Matched to these happy counten- ances were the grim, sul1en. defiant faces of the Giants. There were no Giant smiles, no jokes cracked on the bench and no rough-house play. The Giants fought back hard, but fl1sv saw themselves yielding, yieIdfnz and yielding. and with each yield that nice little pot of Worlds Series coin was moving a little further away from them And ball players are not per mftdng any one to ssfIx'' any VForI7ss Series pots away from them
