1000 persons must register every re-
naming day the books are open. Only
three more days remain until the
books close at 10 o'clock Friday even
ing, July FL
Approximately 10000 persons were
registered to vote in the primaries up

tered today. Miss Covell says there
should be about $4,000 persons reg
istered when the books close.
Persons who must register include
those who did not vote in the last
general election in November. If they
voted then and did not vote in special
elections held since they are not dis
qualified. If they have moved, how
ever, they must register regardless OF

Purchasing Animals.
Supply for England, France,
Belgium and Italy Now. "a
MANY GERMANS ARE PATRIOTIC
Will Not Sell Horses Consigned
to "Dem Allies"
Belgians Use Best Judgment In
Picking Their Mounts.

Demands for American horses by
belligerent European nations have cut
sadly into the equine supply of the
United States. according to w. A Gill
christ, a Topeka horse buyer, with
barns at 626 Quincy street. Despite,
the decrease in number and the COM
slant demand in the last two years, as
a result of the war and a still greater
increase in demand on account of the,
trouble with Mexico, Mr.. Gilchristo
stated this morning that horses areyi
not bringing as high price now az
they did two years ago.
Only the European war has MAIN
tanned the American horse market as
a live, business institution, Mr.. Gil-n
christ believes. The motor truck in
America is weakening the local market .
more and more each day. esa tir'
Bought 5000 Horses. -
During the last two years. Mr.. Gil.
christ and his partner, j. w. Bell, have
purchased more than 5000 horses for
European countries The purchases
are made upon the order of CONTRACT
tors who enter into agreements with
one country and another for the pur-'
chase of a certain number of horses.
The Topeka buyers have supplied
horses for Great Britain, France, Bel =
GUM and Italy.
Whether or not the contractors spe-
city which country the horses will be
shipped to, Mr.. Gilchrist can tell their
destination by the quality of animal !,
ordered. The British government
purchases animals much the same as
the American government. 1t buys
the best horses for cavalry and artil-
Iery. The artillery horse desired by
the British and American government
weighs about 1880 pounds and stands
from s. hands, 1 inch to 16 hands in
height. The cavalry horse stands from
IA hands, 2 inches to 16 hands in
height.
Small Horse for Italy. :,
The French do not purchase SO
good a horse as the British, Italian or
Belgian government. The Belgians,,
are the only people who will buy a.
smooth mouthed horse and Mr.. Gill;
christ thinks their acceptance of the
smooth mouthed animal shows good
judgment. A horse of this description
is less prone to the horse diseases
prevalent in the big barns at Kansas
City, ST. Joseph and st. Louis. The
Italians buy a strong, well boned horse
of small stature. Horses purchased by
Mr.. Gilchrist are shipped either to,
Kansas City, st. Joseph or Grand Isl-4
and, Neb. 80,
Some Sentimental Owners. -t
I'VE have run onto a numbcrs
of people," he said, who. when.
be shipped to Europe will not sell forn
love or money. More than matter of
sentiment, pure patriotism, with them. 20
Only the very best gray horses can
be sold to the warning nations. A.
contract usually provides that the
buyers can purchase 20 per cent OF
the shipment in gray horses. Horses ,
of that color are too easily discerned
by the enemy and can be used only as
transport animals. IN

WATER ON LAWNS
TOpeka's Blue Grass and Clover
Suffers From Heat.
AS a Result City Mains Are Be-
ing Taxed by Flow.

Since the city inaugurated half rates
for water used in the sprinkling of
lawns a few days ago. the call for
sprinkling permits in the water de-
partment have been heavy. More
than 500 permits have been issued.
The use of water this year for the
purpose provided is heavy because of
the extreme dry weather. There has
not been enough rain to amount to
anything like relief in the last twenty
one days and Topeka lawns are begin
ming to suffer. The sprinkling rate
was a life saver in so far as Topeka
bea utiful is concerned.
The heavy use of the water, how
