JUNGLE JOE" is THRU
Cannon Will Support Mann for
Speaker of the Eouse.

Danville. ILL.,, Sept. 2S.-''Uncle Joe"
Cannon, former speaker of the house
of representatives, and who has rep
resented his district longer than any
man ever in congress, will not be
candidate for speaker in the event OF
his reelection and a Republican ma
jority. He said so today, setting at
rest rumors that he wuold try for his
former position.
THAT there will be a Republican
congress, Republican senate and Re-
publican president, there is not the
slightest doubt" asserted the veteran
statesman. Everything points toward
sweeping victory at the polls for
protection and other principles for
which the Republican party stands.
1 hope to be member of congress for
some time longer. but 1 shall not
aspire to the speakership. I am not a
candidate. l shall use every effort to
secure the position for that able
statesman, James f. Mann of my own
state"

KING CHICKEN THIEVES
Some One Calmly Took 121 Birds
From Granville CoOps.

County officers are looking for the
king of chicken thieves. Friday
night the king and his retainers broke
into the chicken house of Mrs. Annau
at Granville and stole 121 birds.
This morning when the theft was dis
covered interested neighbors began
looking for the trail of an auto
truck. They did not believe that many
chickens could be hauled away in an
ordinary wagon. All the places where
chickens are marketed in Topeka are
being watched.
There has been much petty thievery
at Granville recently. A few nights
ago Mrs. Don fowler lost twenty
bushels of sweet potatoes and five
bushels of peppers. A wagon was
used for that haul, investigators be-
lieve. They also believe that the sweet
potatoes and peppers came to Topeka.

HE WENT UP A TREE
Frank Willard started to Climb After
Golf Bail.

Spectators on the Country club
were treated to an unusual brand of
monkey golf" as one member
described it-when Frank Willard on
his second stroke on the ninth hole
of his match with Chester Woodward
drove into the umbrella trees in front
of the club house.
Woodward was pitiless. The shot
had to be played from where it lay.
And Willard, not quite as agile as a
monkey. started to climb into the tree,
club in hand. The umbrella tree rath-
er than risk it's slender branches shook
the ball down as Willard assembled.
THAT counts another stroke,
Frank" insisted Woodward
Nothing to it asserted Willard
triumphantly. That's just the con-
tinuation of the flight of the ball. A
little delayed I'll admit, Chester, but it
was the finish of the drive"
The matter is still being debated.
