Nobody i'm Topeka Needs To Be
without a Dinner.
CALL ISSUED FOR NAMES
Send Them to the State Jour-
nal or the Exchange.
Those Who Wish to Contribute
May Do the Same.
To the Citizens of Topeka:

To the Citizens of Topeka:
In order that every needy family
in the city may receive ThanksglV-
ing baskets, the Confidential Ex-
change invites every citizen to CO.
operate with the plan made by the
charity workers at their meeting at
the Confidential Exchange office,
last Monday afternoon.
This cooperation can best be Sc
cured if every person either as an
individual or member of a church,
club or charity organization will re-
port to the Exchange, names ana
addresses of families who will need
help at Thanksgiving time.
An invitation is extended to all
persons needing help to leave their
names and addresses at the Topeka
State Journal office. These names
will be given to the Confidential
Exchange and placed on file in this
office. Anyone desiring to furnish
a Thanksgiving basket should call
the Exchange, 565, and the name
and address of a needy family will
be given to the inquirer.
By cooperation this Thanksgiv-
ing can be made a time of real
thankfulness to all.
Respectfully yours,
MABEL ADAMS, Secretary.

Goodnight and

Goodnight, Gloom! Goodnight and
goodby.
Thanksgiving day will be here in
less than two weeks And that date
was set at a meeting held in the Con-
fidential Exchange recently as the
date when the dismal gent, is to be
handed a knockout from which it is
hoped he never will revive.
For years a number of men and
women in Topeka have been trying
to dent Old Man Gloom in some vital
spot and so put him out of running
order. But the Old Mans opponents
their efforts and he has worked his
havoc unrestricted.
But when his enemies got together
last week they eliminated the weak
spot in their offense and the object
of their wrath knew right away that
his finish was being prepared.
Look here, how does this sound for
ammunition?
One fat chicken, a bag of cram
berries, two pounds of sugar, one
pound of butter, one peck of Irish
and sweet potatoes, one peck OF ap-
pies, a bunch of celery, a bag of nuts,
a ten cent loaf of bread, jelly, fruit
cake and a can Of corn or tomatoes.
The problem, however, is to get the
gloom dispeller into every home
where it is needed. And this can only
be done in one way, through absolute
cooperation.
It's not going to be accomplished if
one family get two dinners and a doz-
en- others who need the joy generator
get nothing.
How to Proceed.
Every child who isn't certain that
the family table will be adorned on
Thanksgiving day with the edibles
that are necessary to real FEELING
of Thanksgiving is wanted at the Of
flee of the State Journal. He is want
cd fhnra for the of obtaining
his name and address. This will later
be turned into the office of the Con-
fidential Exchange and when No
vember 25 rolls around huge basket
with contents that make for a feeling
of satisfaction will be deposited at the
youngsters home.
1t isn't a proposition of giving
only the children a real Thanksgiving
dinner but of seeing that layout OF
Turkey day. food gets to their pas
of their relatives that know OF
Thanksgiving dinners only through
what they hear other folks say.

single reason on earth for anyone in
this town to go hungry November IS.
sharing his home with Monsieur
Gloom, phone his name to the Con-
fidential Exchange office-565-or
leave 1t at the State Journal office.
Also, if you are the person who has
shared your home with the unwe1come
guest, turn your name and address in
at either of the offices.
The same action will be appreciated
by the officers when adopted by per-
sons who have a basket to put into
one of these homes. Phone either
office on November 25 or before and
the name and address of a family will
be furnished. Only in this way can
the whole city be covered. After the
city has been thoroughly covered once,
the men and women working through
the exchange declare that Gloom will
have fallen into disrepute and they
won't begrudge any youngster a bit
who has a crack at a dozen baskets.
But help the officers in their eff
forts to get a basket into every home
that needs one before any person gets

New York Stock Market.

-, New York, Nov. 13-WALL STREET.
Ioday'S short session was devoted largely
to the regular weekend settlement of spec
uIatlve accounts. Dealings were light and
lacked impulse of public inquiry. Sea-
soned shares were again under moderate
restraint but war issues maintained their
reputation for wide changes, mostly ON
the side of higher quotations. Motor
stocks rose to points and Bethlehem
steel, Baldwin locomotive and Crucible
steel rose more moderately United States
steel showed the effect of realizing sales,
but coppers held their recent advantage,
in some instances scoring higher prices.
Railways were a negligible factor through
out. The closing was irregular bonds
War shares and allied issues were the
only features of interest in today opening
with gains of 1 to points on moderate
dealing. Metal stocks shared in the move
ment to moderate degree but most of
the former favorites were backward. United
States steel rose a small fraction at the
outset but soon fell back. Bethlehem
steel rose points to AS with further
activity in the automobile group, initial

Il was strongly impressed with the
possibilities OF the alfalfa crop and
began reading alfalfa literature in
farm papers. To grow alfalfa success

neither alfalfa nor sweet clover had
ever been grown. Alfalfa growers all
advised that a field 20 be seeded to al

Our Birthday

With this issue the Star Herald

tins paper has been gong into the
homes Of the people of Randolph
county every week, bearing record
of all the events worthy of note

time. 1t has witnessed the birth
and death of more than a dozen
competitors. It has recorded the
passing to their eternal reward OF
hundreds of the county's best cip.

Just past it has been the pleasure OF
the present editor to conduct the af.
fairs of the paper and during that
entire time not a single Issue has
been missed Except Christmas
weeks.) During these fifteen years
we have passed through strenuous
times. We have witnessed floods,
drouths and panics. On the other
hand we have seen days and
years of prosperity, and plenty.
We have rejolced with our friends
when prosperity visited them and
have tried to offer consolation and
good cheer WREN calamities came. J
We have tried to do our part in thel
advancement of our towns and
county and have ever stood for those
principles which tend to elevate

speak a good word for the commu-

To grow'a second crop Of Irish po.
tatoes TO be used for winter uses is a
perplexing problem for the farmer.
Keeping the first crop over for winter
use is almost impossible and Il is a
choice OF buying the winter supply or
growing the second crop.
The greatest difficulty in planting
the first crop seed is in getting a
stand, The new potatoes VIII not ger.
inmate readily. and II planted only a
small percentage viii grow.
Some growers overcome this difi.
Guilty by placing the seed potatoes, as
soon as they are dug, in a moist, fairly
cool place such as in a shallow trench
in the shade OF a tree. Or by cutting
in halves, spreading on the ground
and covering with pine needles kept
moist They are then watched, and as
they show signs OF sprouting are
planted in deep burrows, covering
lightly at frst, working the soil to
them as they grow until level. Then
cultivate shallow and level. Some va.
rieties make a better second crop than
others, among which are Early Rose.

War Is Responsible

Little Rock, August 2l.-When
eggs advanced in the past winter,
il was charged to the European war
and its effect on the hens. The ex-
cesslve rains Of spring and early
summer were also charged to the
war, but now we have another-one
which deserves the medal.
"Sickness has decreased at least
so per cent this year., states a
prominent Little Rock physician,
"and we can blame the war for It.
We have discussed the decrease IN
sickness in our meetings and all
physicians agree that this is about
the proper estimate, shown from
their books. Where the war comes
in Is that 1t has caused the people
to live less luxuriously. They eat
PLAIN food and it agrees with them.
Even though it cuts into our re.
ceipts, we cannot say that we are
not glad to see the general improve.
