Minneapolis-Rects in Minneapolis
and Duluth will probably run some
smaller the balance of the season. We
have made close inquiry as to the
amount Of wheat back in the north
west and we find that old line ele-
vators are carrying about 25 to 35 per
cent Of the amount they had stored at
this time last year. Independent COM
panies will probably carry a larger
amount, but good elevator people
estimate there is at present time ap-
prorimately ten millions bushels Of
wheat in the country elevators in
northwest compared with approx
imately thirty millions at this time
last year. Farmers are selling prac-
tically nothing and we are bound to
have a very bullish comparison in re
ceipts in the two spring wheat mar
kets. About 80 per cent Of wheat arriv-
ing is winter wheat.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The old-fash-

season for the newer 'fce storm" and
glaze" weather bureau officials re-
ported today in their campaign for
more accurate terminology for various
kinds of frozen rain. Sleet Is officially
described as small globules of rain
frozen before striking the earth. When
rain freezes after falling and forms a
CLASSY coating on the ground, trees and
wires, the condition is called a glaze,
and when this Is severe and accom-
panied by wind 1t is reported as an ice
storm.
The weather bureau hopes to elimin-

the word ''sleet." as 1t has caused sub
stitution of the term tornado" for

COPS SEARCH FOR GIRL
She Is Finally Located Aboard q
Missouri Pacific Train.

For three hours this morning po-
lice officers on all the beats were
watching for a 16 year old girl wear
ing pink waist. Her name is Bertha
johnson and she lives at Oyerbrook
After all the watch it was learned that
she had gone home.
The girl had been in Topeka visiting
an aunt at PA North Chandler for a
week This morning she prepared to
take a Missouri Pacific train for home
After she had gone and the aunt sup
posed the train had left, the latter
telephoned to the station and asked if
a girl answering the description had
bought a ticket for Overlook. No
one had bought ticket for Overlook
but the agent neglected to tell the
aunt the train had not yet departed.
The aunt called the police station
and reported the girl lost She said
>sle feared she had transferred to the
Union Pacific instead of the Missouri
Pacific. Patrolmen were instructed 70
look for her. Two hours later the pa
trolman at the Union Pacific station
telephoned in that a girl answering the
description had been there but had
gone back to the South side in a jit-
ney.
A few minutes later the aunt called
up and reported that the girl had
| bought a ticket just before the train
left and that she was on her way.

RESERVATIONS HARD TO GET

Wait Nearly a Week.
Extra Equipment on Trains to
and From Coast.

Under pressure of the threatened
trainmen's strike which hovered over
railroads in the last week, passenger
traffic thru Topeka during that time
was the heaviest in years. While op-
Grating departments of western rail-
roads were preparing to fight the
strike, thereby getting themselves vot-
ed the busiest men in America outside
of the members of congress. passenger
traffic officials ran them a close Sec
ond.
Thousands of tourists and summer
vacationists who, before last Monday,
refused to put any credence in the
possibility of strike, such as threat
ened, began a wild stampede to get
home on that date. Every train go
ing thru Topeka in the last week has

day tried to get home. She was in

the east and California and Colorado
are carrying extra equipment and have
been doing so for the last week. Rock

Union Pacific trains carried full ca
pacity.
The fear of the strike has robbed
western summer resorts of much

THE strike situation which threat
ened the country is turned into a ma
tional blessing thru the passage by
congress of the Adamson bill.' That
was the Commoner's comment on the
settlement of the strike situation. And
in this. also, he found occasion to
speak kind words for Democracy.
Gratified at Strike News
II am very much gratified at the
news from Washington" was the COM
rnent on today's telegraph reports
1T seems now certain that legislation
will be enacted not only avertinC the
strike but establishing the eight-hour
day. The Democratic party has stood
for this principle for many years.
The public is interested in having
the hours of labor short enough to en-
able wage earners to enjoy home life
sponsibllities of citizenship. They can
do neither if they are called from bed

I'm the case of railway employees,
the public has special interest in their
protection against overwork because
the travelling public shares the risks
that come with overwork. As is often
the case the danger which has threat
ened the country is converted Into a
real blessing by the solution which
has been found. And 1 may add. ii

Bryan's singing rebuke of the
Hughes speeches and campaign poll
cies was made in Topeka today follow
ing informal, conference with local
and state Democrat leaders in the
Throop hotel. The Commoner came to
Topeka from Alma and was taken to
Burlingame. where he will fill Chau-
tauqua date. General plans of the
campaign were discussed in Topeka
and Bryan stated that he expected to
come to Kansas later and campaign
for the reelection of several Demo-
crat congressman.
Unhesitatingly Bryan declared that
| Hughes's speeches have been a pro-
found disappointment to his managers
The public, he said, would not accept
general criticism and fault finding as
a national program and that Hughes
cannot win on his present issue. Then
! Bryan poured vitriol on the open
wounds which he inflicted on the Re-
publican presidential candidates cam
paign trip. He wished Mr.. Hughes
health and strength-that he may con-
| tinue to make speeches. The Hughes
! speeches, Bryan declared, are making
votes for Wilson in the November
election.
| Calls Him a ScoId.
81 have not read Mr.. Hughes's To-
| peka speech carefully said Mr.. Bry-
an. but in glancing over it, I did not
notice any new indictment of the ad-
! ministration. He seems to be follow
| ing the line adopted when he started
out by scolding about everything
without advancing any definite policy
on any subject.
His speeches have been a profound
/ disappointment to those who expect
ed his campaign would be conducted
! on a high plane The president has
accomplished more in the way of i'm
portant domestic reform than any
previous president in the same length
of time. Yet Mr.. Hughes without the
| candor to commend anything that has
been done. is not able to attack these
| remedial measures. He ignores them
and confines himself to searching with
a microscope for minor faults.
The tone of his speeches is surpris-
ing. One would suppose he would
| recognize the fact that the president
has carried a heavy load of respon-
sibiIitv and would deal with interna-
tionaI questions with some apprecia-
ton of their gravity and the presi-
dents responsibility Instead of do
| ing this. he simply finds fault with
out suggesting what he would have
done under the same circumstances.
Speeches Help Wilson.
1T is not an exaggeration to say
that his speeches have greatly inn
proved the presidents prospects If
his strength holds out so he can con-
tinue his speaking, there ought to be
no doubt of the presidents reelection.
This is case where the Democrats
. without disloyalty to their candidate
can wish the Republican candidate
health and strength. 1t is perfectly
natural that voters after hearing him,
decide to vote for Mr.. Wilson on the
theory that he must be deserving OF
reelection if the Republican candi-
