PRICE WHEAT JUMPS

IC0nt1t1ueO from rage One-l
get hold of the wheat and ship it to
the seaboard before the price rises
and before navigation closes for the
winter said George e. Marcy of the
Armour Grain company. The grain
was held by spectators and had to
be moved QUE of the elevators to make
room for winter wheat now coming in.
ITO permit it to lie in the elevators
after December 10 would mean that
it would have to be shipped out by
the all rail route. This would add to
the price of grain and affect the mar
ket. The embargo may means that
pressure is to be brought to bear in
certain quarters for political reasons
possibly in Greece"
Franklin NJ. Crosby of Minneapolis,
a well known miller, was quoted as
saying that the action does not con-
Germ the American milling interests to
any extert, as there is no Canadian
grown coming in on purchase and
very little in bond for re-shipment."
The amount Communicated, he added,
was comnarativeIy small.
Making Up Shortage.
Great Britain, it was pointed out, is
40, 600, 060 bushels short of its needs
as compared with last year. and the
purchase OF 100000 bushels at one
time makes up one half of the short
age. No uneasiness for the future is
expressed, therefore, among experts,
who thought that England evidently
Intended obtaining the grain for it's
own requirements and that it desired
to be sure CT it There is more than
100 million bushels of Canadian wheat
available OIL that already disposed of,
it was said, as Canada had 230 million
available for export at the beginning of
the season three months ago and had
disposed OF one half of it.
The grain commando is in ele-
vator5 at ort William and Port Ar
thur, Canada, and in other cities east
ward to the Atlantic coast. The or
grades.
A considerable portion of it is the
property of American dealers.
AT meeting of the grain exchange
in Winnipeg it was decided there
would be no trading in Winnipeg
wheat futures today
Shippers Must Buy in U S
New York, Nov. 29-Much of the
wheat Communicated by the Cana
dian government was under contract
to New York shippers, according to
grain dealers here Many of them
have sold grain for December ship
mcnt and must obtain it from other
sources to meet their contracts This
situation is expected here to create an
increased demand for wheat grown in
the United States, as millers in this
country who ordinarily have obtained
much OF their supply from Canada
will be compelled to turn to a greater
extent to the home market.
Shipping agents here say the seizure
of wheat by Canada does not mean
that its shipment to Europe will be
from the United States ports,
as they do not believe the Halifax and
st. John can handle the Canadiar
crop. Portland, Ne, is considered a
great outlet for Canadian wheat and
shippers believe that a large proper
ton of the grain will be exported eth
er through shat or other United States
ports.

BACK TO HOOSIERDOM
Van Aul1cn Wanted in Indiana OF
Charge of Burglary.

To take Harry Van Auken, a step
son of John Howerton, former mem

$500 worth of band instrum entS- from
a factory at Goshen, Ind, James
Leeder, an Indiana undersheriff, ar
rived in Topeka this morning.
Van Auken was arrested in Topeka
Saturday by Detective Summers. Ac-
cording to Indiana officials, he is

it is claimed, entered the factory and
made his getaway with about $500
worth of instruments. He was ar
rested and served about two years and
a half in the Indiana reformatory.
When released, it is charged, he beat
it back % the factory and made an
other haul.

Henry Ford says he has statements
from officials high up in the govern
1nent circles of both the central pow
ers declaring they are ready for
peace. And there have been rumors
a-plenty of late from many European
neutral centers that Germany and
Austria, the central powers, are in
such a mood. Neither is there any
reason why they shouldn't be, as all
the present advantag es of the war are
on their side, and they would naturally
be in a position to dictate the peace
terms. But the Entente Allies are far
from being convinced that they are
beaten and have no chance of event
uaIly winning the war. This being
their feeling, it would SAVIOR of the
impossible to win them over to peace
parley now. and they are likely to tell
Mr. Ford and his friends in most
polite manner to mind their own bust

Another step toward a new modern
armory for Battery A, the Topeka
light field artillery, was taken this

TWO FRISCO FACTIONS

Mr.. Strauss disputed this statement,

Mr.. Sale asked if the reductions in
capitalization provided in the reorgan-
ization plan were not obtained entirely
by the elimination of the Chicago and

Mr.. Strauss said this was true, but
that under the old Frisco organization
the securities of the two subsidiaries
were an obligation on the parent COM
pany and would so remain until the
reorganization is effective. Under the
rganization plan the securities of
the two minor roads are not to be LA

Mr.. Sale said under the reorganiza-

new company covering the property
involved would be 100000 more

The interest charges of the new

Always the aim of students appears
to be to escape as much as possible of
the college life provided by the facul-
| ty, in order to indulge in more of the
college life provided by themselves.

they bring forth an endless procession
of devices for evading the opportuni-

FOR BETTER TEACHERS.
Former President Taft's suggestion
that the United States bureau of edu-
cation be converted into a national
university for the training of school
teachers is worthy of the best con-
sideration. The teacher is the key
stone in the educational arch a
competent teacher will achieve e,-
cellent results with pupils, almost re-
CARELESS of whatever educational sys-
tenn is in vogue. So all possible
agencies for the development of such
teachers should be utilized. And, in
deed, the federal bureau of education
is already working along the line sug-
gested by Mr. Taft, in the Teachers
Reading Circle it has recently tstab-
lished. This is to promote a two
years reading course among the
teachers of the country on subjects
that will develop their general intelli-
gence and the technique of their pro-
fession. And the teachers who COM
plete this course will receive certifi-
Gates testifying to their accomplish
ments. They'll be better teachers for
it. too.
