SMUCLER- SUNBEAM MINE
TO INCREASE FORCE AND
INSTALL new MACHINERY

Julius Hansen. Superintendent of
the Smuggler-Sunbeam Mining pro-
perty at Sumner, has been in Monte
Vista this week. Mr.. Hansen re-
ports that the work on the mine has
been discontinued temporarily on &C.
count of striking a flow of water.
His mission is to arrange for the in
stallation of boiler and pump to
take care of the water in the shaft
which has been caused from ap-
preaching the large vein.
Owing to turn in the vein this
was not struck as soon as expected
but the operators of the mine are
confident that it will be reached
soon as all indications point to its
near proximity.
meeting of the stockholders was
held Tuesday night and we are in
formed that all present were in favor
of increasing the force to two shifts,
and also putting in the necessary
machinery to carry on the work.
Mr.. Hansen went to Creole this
morning to purchase a new boiler, a
great many of the mines in that
camp being idle and the probability
is that the machinery may be bought
cheaply at that place.

BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era Of marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land We lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer.
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to q
discussion Of our ports for the pro.
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have In this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over 1,000..
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
toll Of approximately $50,000.000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered,
The latter item should be lifted OF
the backs Of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress-
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link In the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is 80
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that Of a free port
and none can be more easily and Of
feotively secured.

The genius Of past ages sought to

but the master minds Of today are
seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
OF the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving 1t. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach in creative genius or mas
terful skill in organization. the mar
velous achievements of the tremend-
Gus men Of the present day. Edison
can press Q button and turn a light
on multiplied millions Of homes: Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions Of people; Nc
Cormick's reaper can harvest the
worlds crop. and Fulton's steam en-
gine moves the commerce Of land
and sea.
The greatest thing a human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did It.: Kings decree 1t, and
wise men teach 1t. It is the glory of
this practical age that Edison could
find no higher calling than to become
the janitor to civilization: Vail the
messenger to mankind: Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry, and
blessed Is the ago that has such

through tho Press Service Of Agri
culture and Commerce, the master
minds OF this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk. and men
who talk seldom achieve. There ID
no such thing as q noisy thinker, and
brevity Is always Q close companion

1t will be q great privilege to stand
by the side Of men who can roll in

associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
OF It: to commune with men who can
hear the roar Of civilization Q few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to tho rabble
element Of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce q
generation that appreciates tho genius
Of its day. There never will be q

This is an age Of service, and that

has done more to improve the con.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE i.
BY Peter Radford.

There Is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t Is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti.
tutions have spent $180,0OO. 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
Of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp Of q
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom Of the age
upon 1t. 1t Is a problem which the
farmers. merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
lieve In promoting one to the neglect
Of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com.
mercial agencies seeking to help US.
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also.

featuring by over-production of the

tile enterprises by the merchants load.

State Department Takes Steps

Washington, July 30.-A message to
the state department states that Paul
Hudson, editor and owner of the Mex
lean Herald and formerly a newspaper
man in Topeka, is being held a priS-
oner in Mexico City by the Zapatistas
and that orders issued by the Mexico
City convention government for his
immediate release are being ignored.
The specific charge against Hudson

the newspaper man was pla1n-spoken
in attacks on Villa. Hudson's family
is also being held.
Paul Hudson, the former Topeka
newspaper man, has gained much
fame in his plucky attempts to keep
his newspaper, the Mexican Herald.

in Topeka from Dell Keiser. vice
president of the FTanklin-Hudson
Publishing company is to the effect
that the Kansas City firm has not

Keiser is Hudsons brother-in-law.
However, the report that Hudson is
imprisoned is confirmed by Secretary
of State Lansing at Washington. Lam
sing promises that nothing will be left
undone to obtain the newspaper
mans release.
Hudson was at one time under ar
rest during the Madero rtales in Mexi-
CO. When Americans Ianaed at Vera

Claim for $25, 14O.21 Is Presents
ed by Attorney Hayden.
UNDERFLOW OF Discomfort
Commissioner Nipps Brings Up
County Physician Case.
Considerable Negotiating May
Delay Final Settlement.

When the county commissioners
were presented with a bill from the
city of Topeka for $25,14O.21 this
morning they scanned one of the larg-
est accounts they have been called up
on to consider for many months. This
bill, which is for penalties on general
taxes from 1895 to 1913 and for pen
alties on special assessments from
1903 to 1913. probably will cause con-
siderable difficulty for both the county
and city commissioners Preliminary
remarks made this morning between
the county commissioners and George
Hayden, city attorney, indicate that
there will be considerable negotiating
before the bill is allowed. 1t is even
1ntimated that there may be some ac-
ton in court
What we want to do is pay the
smallest amount possible, if we have
to pay any, said F. E. Nipps, this
morning in the conversation which
county commissioners had with City
Attorney Hayden. I'VE are up to our
limit in the general revenue fund
out of which this money will have to
come, and what we want to do is to
compromise in some way

sion will be willing to consider any
proposition you have to offer, but 1

Mr.. Hayden.
Mr.. Nipps pointed out where the
county had been doing a lot of work
for the city and had not been getting
a cent in return.
why, only in the last two months
the county physician has taken peo-
pie out of the city Jail to the hospital
and we have stood the expense. Now
here comes the city with a bill for the
last twenty-five years and wants us
to pay. We don't think that is quite
equitable
Neither side was disposed to show
their cards this morning, however.
The county commissioners would not
say that they would allow the bill or
that they would not allow it. They
said that they would investigate it.
the city auditor would not intimate
what action the city might take to col
lect this money.

NOT IN ONE STORE
Suburban Week" Will Be a
General Bargain Affair.
Every Form of Merchandise
Will Be Shown in Topeka.
nd will he the biggest crowd ever!

Tt will be the biggest crowd ever!
Topeka merchants are combining in
the effort to make ''Subur ban Week
the most successful summer shopping
event ever held in the state.
The advantage to the throngs of
visitors that are expected in Topeka
next week will be that the shopping
bee'' will not be a one-store affair. 1t
will be possible to buy almost anything
conceivable as all lines of merchan-
disc will be open for inspection and
the values will be unusual, to say the
least. 1t is admitted that Topeka is
the best retail center in the state.
Topeka merchants will expect their
customers to come again. They intend
to be deserving of further patronage.
This means courteous treatment and
fair dealing. And it is just these I'M
questionable methods that have built
up a heavy out-of-town trade. The
records of the Topeka Rebate asSocia-
ton show that shoppers come to this
city from all parts of the state. The
plan for the return of railway fare
is one feature that appeals strongly
to the average person.
Local shoppers will be given the
same consideration as those hailing
from other cities. The only difference
will be that there will be no railway
fares to refund. They will be able
to take advantage of the exceptionally
low prices.
Topeka merchants and the State
Journal have been receiving letters of
inquiry from various parts of the state
from those interested in the big bar
gain event. Indications are that the
crowd will be fully up to expectations
