sues Challenge.
The North Topeka grocery stores are
supposed to lower the high cost of liv-
ing, but when 1t comes to the flour
question the clerks throw up their
hands and smile.
the grocery clerks in stores on the
North side admitted they did not know
how high the price of flour would go.
But all thought that it would not be
long before the best grade OF flour
would reach the e mark.
| Formerly a good grade of -four could
be had at $1.25 per sack. but this was
several months ago. Now this same
grade of flour retails at from $1.55 to
$1.65. The best grade now sells for 81. 80
a sack.
| According to a resident living near
North Topeka, who has lived to see
several wars, and has sold wheat dur
ing the war days as high as s. a
bushel. it should not surprise people to
see wheat as high as 81 or $3.50 a
bushel before next winter.
| Ringers Club Active.
The Horseshoe club on the North
side has been taking a vacation dur
ing the Christmas rush. Meetings OF
the club have been held irregularly,
owing to the fact that a number of the
tllCHOCTS IdO " Uc at lIclE PldCCS "a
business on the regular meeting nights.
! Now that the rush business has sub
sided, renewed activities are promised
for lovers of the game. The club has
quarters in the Topeka Packing COM
pany building, corner of Jefferson street
and East Laurent, and is anxious to
play a few match games with some of
the other clubs in this vicinity.
! Not OppOser to a Church.
]. d. Zimmerman, pastor of the Cen
trail Avenue Christian church. objects
to being represented as opposed to a
community church in any of the rural
districts. Yesterday he said: Il have
not made any objection to any kind of
an organization the people of the COM
munity want, and have not spoken to
any of my country members about it.
1 will not allow the interests of my own
church to stand in the way of the best
interests of the rural community.
II simply objected to the idea of one
preacher pretending to speak officially
for the entire city church federation
without consulting anyone else. Per-
sonally, doubt the permanent success
cause it does not represent anything.
but if the people of the community
want it, I am in favor of them having
it, and will be glad to help them in any
way 1 cam
