ARE NOT ALARMED
Government Officials Optomis-
tic About Wheat Situation.
Will Not Stand For Manipula-
ton of Grain Market.

Washington, Aug. 11.-There will
be no serious shortage in the wheat
crop.-Depsrtr1en of Agriculture.
If there IS any unwarranted rise in
the price of flour, we'll get busy
Federal Trade Commission.
Experts of government departments
thus united today in saying that there
is no need to fear because of the small
wheat crop expected this year.
Even if there was a serious short
age, if not a bushel of wheat were
harvested, this nation would live, as
one official said, "oa the fat of the
land"
Two government departments said
they are ready to meet any manipu-
lattion of wheat or flour. The depart
ment of Justice and the federal trade
commission probably also would be
involved-as in the present gasoline
investigation.
IF we find evidence of unfair meth
DDS and price boosting, either by COM
plant to us, or by our own informa-
ton, we shall get busy" said Com
missioner Davies of the Federal Trade
commission

U. S. AID
Turkey Refuses Offer For Re-
lief Work in Syria.
Assistance Not Needed as Crops
Are in Good Condition.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Turkey has
refused to grant the request of the
United States that neutral commit
tee be permitted to undertake relief
work in Syria, where thousands of ma
tive Christians are reported to be
starving.
Charge Miller of Constantinople in a
cablegram received at the state de-
partment today said the Turkish gov
ernment had informed him relief oper-
ations in Syria were considered unnec-
essary because crops there are better
than anywhere else in the empire. He
added that although he was told the
decision was final he had not dropped
the subject but would continue to
press for favorable action.
On July 5 the department instructed
Charge Miller to call attention to the
fact that there had been no action in
this matter and to say to the Turkish
foreign office that continued failure
to heed the request would put Sc
we're strain on the relations between
the United States and Turkey

CAMPAIGN PLAN VAGUE
Wilson to Make Coast to-Coast Speech
Trip But Congress Delays.

Washington, Aug. 11-President
Wilson practically has decided to
make a speaking trip across the con-
tinent. No details of the tour have been
arranged but it was understood today
that his itinerary will be worked out
within the next few weeks.
The presidents advisers have been
urging him to make a number of
speeches but he has been withholding
n decision until the work of congress
had progressed further 1t was
known definitely today. however, that
if present plans were carried out, the
president would go to the Pacific coast
1t was said no definite plans would be
made for at least two weeks
Invitations from cities in all parts
of the country are before the presid ent
but none will be accepted until they
nave been gone over carefully by Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee and other
leaders.
The possibility that congress might
remain in session after September l is
preventing the president from making
any definite campaign plans. He
wants to make no long trips from
Washington until after adjournment
altho he has accepted an invitation for
brief visit to st. Louis, September 20.
The president will do much cam
paignfng at his summer home at Long
Branch, n. ].

USE HODGES LAW
Plan to Utilize e. s. Money For
Farmers Share.
Good Roads Meeting in Pro-
gress at Commercial Club.

The federal road appropriation can
be made to fit very nicely in the bene-
fit district niche of the Hodges good
roads bill. First and foremost, how
ever, in making the fit it is necessary
to obtain the consent of the govern
ment to use its Kansas apportionment
in cooperation with the Hodges law.
That was the talk heard at the To-
peka Commercial club this noon prior
to a meeting of the Kaw Valley I'M
proved Highway association.
William Gearhart of Manhattan,
the speaker, of the day, did not ar
rive until late in the afternoon. This
caused a delay in holding the meeting
which will not be in full swing until
nearly 5 o'clock this afternoon
The Hodges law provides that the
farmers in a prescribed benefit dis
trict shall pay one-half the total cost
of the road. Such ruling meets with
no special favor among the farmers
and has been the chief drawback to
the operation of the Hodges law. Now
1t is proposed that the government
appropriation be added in sufficient
quantity to pay one-fourth of the total
cost, the farmers in the benefit district
paying the other one-fourth, the coun-
ty one-fourth and township one
fourth

ITO VWIEN "EEEGO
Leland Lambert, 17-Year-Old
Motor Thief in Solitary Cell.
Removed to "BuIl Pen" Today
to Save His Reason.
THEY FEARED FOR HIS MORALS
Good Government Members
Kept Him From Prisoners.
But Boy Couldn't Stand 1t To
Be Confined Alone.

Leland Lambert, a 17-year-old boy
who confessed to stealing an automo-
bile, was placed in a solitary cell at
the county Jail because members of the
Good Government club protested
against placing him among the hard
ened criminals in the bull PEN"
Today he was removed from the
solitary cell and placed in the "bull
pen" to save his reason. Mitch Bun
dy, jailer, informed W. E. ,Atchison,
county attorney. that the boy would
go insane if kept alone any longer.
Lambert is the Missouri boy who
stopped off in Topeka on his way to
the harvest fields, discovered he had
been robbed, and stole the Ford car
belonging to DR.. w. H. Wedding. He
was caught west of Topeka and re-
turned here where he pleaded guilty.
he explained that he was using the
car to get to the harvest fields and
that his intention was to desert it on
some lonely road out west and pin a
note on it telling where it belonged
First Time in Trouble.
The boys father came here from
Missouri and talked with the officers.
He stated that it was the first time his
son had been in trouble with officers.
He was willing to do anything. He
was persuaded that there was nothir g
to do except to allow the boy to go to
the state reformatory
Because of the fact the boy was a
first offender the women of the Good
Government club objected to having
him placed with old offenders in the
county Jail. The sheriff listened and
removed the boy to a separate room
upstairs. There he has been alone

Travelling Men VIII Make Head
quarters in Topeka.
WAREHOUSE IS BOUGHT HERE

Extensive advertising in the mid
west by the Clinton people, extensive
manufacturers of standard wood
work articles. revealed to them that
Kansas. the best field reached in their
advertising campaign, needed whole
sale house. AS a result Curtis, Towle
& Paine company of Lincoln, Neb-, a
branch of the Clinton interests, this
week took charge of the E. Horn
planning Mill, SIS Van Buren, street.
Topeka. L. B. Holland of Lincoln, is
local manager for the new firm.
The new company has already pur-
chased a warehouse at Crane and
jackson streets in which standard ar
ticles, manufactured by the Clinton in
terests turnout the country, will be
stored. Travelling men will be placed
on the road out of Topeka and the
entire state will be covered.
Big Demand in Kansas.
Recently we carried on an extern
sive advertising campaign in the Mis-
souri, Valley states said Mr. Holland.
I'VE discovered that more answers to
our advertising came from Kansas
people than from any other source.
Yet, we had no jobhing house that
could serve than promptly"
This led to a determination to es-
sas trade. Kansas City, st. Joseph
and other cities were studied and To-
peka was finally selected
The new firm expects to continue
manufacturing articles for the retail
trade the same as the Horn people
did. Also they expect to establish A
wholesale and jobbing business and
manufacture a number of standard ar
ticles for the wholesale trade in KARI
SaS.
The Curtis people with headquarters
at clinton, Iowa, are backing the
venture financially. They have branch
houses at Detroit, Pittsburg, Pa, Chi
cago, Minneapolis. Wasuaau, Wis, Sioux

RUSS STRIKE HARD
Cars Forces Are Within Ten
Miles of HalitZ.
May Force Austrians to Evac-
uate Stanislau.

Petrograd, Aug. 11.-Striking west
ward with amazing rapidly the right
wing of General Letshitsky's army has
reached the Dniester river south of
Mariampol, which is only ten miles
from the important town of Halitz, it
was officially announced today.
News of this important success tenn
porarily overshadowed the advance
against the city of Stanislau, south of
Halitz, whose foil is now regarded as
a matter of but a few hours. The war
office announced that bridges are
being thrown across the Bistritza riv-
er, three miles east of Stanislau, pre-
paratory to an advance on the city,
and also report fresh victories on the
Sereth river, fifty miles east of Lem
berg, where several villages and woods
were captured.
The town of Halitz, lying at the rail-
way crossing or the DnieSter, and but
fifty-eight miles southeast of LemDerg,
has been destricbed as the key to any
operation against the Galician capital
from the southwark.
1t was expected that General
Letchitsky would first take Stanislau
and then move northward against
Halitz. The Austrians were prepared
for a more stubborn resistance at the
Halitz bridgehead where they expected
to block the crossing of the Dniester,
and a further advance by the car s
troops against Lemberg.

The inauguration of an economy

OF the first orders issued from the
office of Superintendent H. B. Wilson,
when. the schools open next Septem-
Der . Children and teachers will be

eGhe board of education was startled
tot1earn that it will cost $4,000 for the
mere item, of paper for the next
school year. Last year the total cost
of~paper used was less than $500.
