on government service being reau- lated. Our crop outlook is decidedly better than month ago. Condition of wheat and cotton has improved. and reports as to fruits nd vegetables indicate big crops, gooGly portions of which should be preserved for future use. The only lines of business not in line with general prosperity are some sections of retail trade which are affected by the necessity of econ- omizing; and building trades injured by the excessive rise in materials and the scarcity of labor which has been largely diverted to work on war con- tracts. As a whole, however, the business outlook is encouraging; the activity induced by war and the pros- poets of good crops and good prices for the same affording a substantial basis for such expectations. The H. nancial district displays a rather more conservative feeling owing to the firmness in money; the consequent decline in bonds, and restraint upon excessive war profits ky government regulation.
 Effect of the War.
 Whatever changes may have oc- cured in the war outlook were all in IavOr or the alueS. rho central pow ers are still on, the defensive, and unable to assume the offensive Losses from submarines last week were ex- cessive. but in spite of them the .ulti- mate failure of this method of war fare is becoming more and more cer- tain. Aerial warfare is assuming growing importance, ard now that our energies are being turned partly in this direction will certainly soon become an important factor. Ameri- can preparations for the war are be- ing vigorously pushed. Some meas ure of our capacity has already been displayed in the Liberty, Loan and Red Cross campaigns. Very soon the consequences of these efforts will be witnessed in an immense flow of men and munitions across the Atlantic, which will continue until the war Is ended. There Is something strangely tragic in the inability or unwilling ness of the Prussian autocracy's mind to recognize the mistake of continu- ing this disastrous war. which has shocked almost the entire civilized world. Surely there must be enough intelligent, just-minded German Americans in the United States to im- press upon their kinsmen in Germany the utter folly of expecting to win so hopeless a struggle.

Datings con- sisted largely of short covering the strength of Liberty bonds being fac- tor in. that connection. War shares occupied their usual place at gains of to. points. U. s. Steel was in demand. gaining almost 2 points. and coppers and oils also rose with Ohio Gas and Industrial Alcohol. The closing was strong. Sales were es- timated at $50, 900 shares. Bonds were irregular except Liberty bonds which were extensively traded in at par.

All obstacles in the way of the cree

elevator in North Topeka were re-
moved late Monday afternoon when
Topeka railroads agreed upon a loca-
ton and thru officials said they would
provide switching facilities. The

The solution of the problem which

LAUNDRY BY MAIL
Also Eats From Home Until SIanhat-
tan Postoffice Is Swamped.

Manhattan, Kan, March 90
Economical students at the Kansas
State Agricultural college l.ere, make
it necessary for Postmaster John Win
ter to make almost quarterly explana-
tons to the postal department at
Washington as to why it is that so
much extra help has to be employe i
in the Manhattan pcstoffice
Nearly every time he is making up
his quarterly report, Postmaster Win
ter receives a letter from one of the
assistant postmaster generals at WASH
lngton, D. c., telling him to include
in his report an explanation for the
employment of SO many substitutes
in the parcel post division of the Man
haitian office, and calling the atten-
ton of the Manhattan postmaster to
the fact that more funds are expended
for extra help than the size of the
town warrants
Has to Explain to Washington.
In every instance Winter has had TO
tell the officials at Washington that
Manhattan is the location of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college and that
there are two thousand, and often
more, students here all the time. In
other words, Manhattan has an extra
population that does not appear on
the government records.
1.-The college here is a poor mans
college," Winter said "A large per-
centage of the students coming here
nave TO save every cent they can ana
many cook most of their own meals.
To help them in this, the folks back
home are all the time sending them
eatables of one sort or another. Hard
ly a day passes but one parcel post
wagon carries out dressed chickens,
buckets of lard, sacks of vegetables
and enough of such articles to almost
resemble a wagon from the grocery
stores.

many people to learn how many of
the students here send their laundry
home to mother There are some
suit cases that make two trips each
week, one in and another out of the
city, carrying the soiled linen home
and the clean clothing back to the
student.

MUST PAY THE PRICE
Social Lions Can't Hope to Win
LaureIs on the Athletic Field.

Columbus, O., March 20.-Fox trot-
ing, keeping late party hours and
general college social lift is ruinous
to athletics, in the opinion of Robert
S. Nevin, captain of the 1917 track
team at Ohio state university. Nevin
declares that athletes cannot hope to
be social lions if they expect to
harvest a crop of laurels on the cinder
path or field. Participation in social
activities should be discouraged in the
interest of producing better teams, he
believes.
IF such circumstance should eX-
ist," he said, 1.-The coaches would have
less trouble in keeping the men in
proper condition and the men would
have less desire to break training. 1t
is up to the student body of Ohio state
to protect her athletic laurels and
thereby assure her future in the
Western conference.
Athletes, to be in the best pos
sible condition, must sacrifice the en-
tire social side of their college life.
When we learn to support our ath-
letics in the right way, we will have
more winning teams
Nevip doubts whether Ohio can
have a better track team until bet
ter gymnasium is constructed.
Every institution in the Big Nine
has a better and bigger gymnasium
than Ohio state" he added, 'if we
we must have better facilities"
IF our accommodations were ade-
quate. better material would be forth
coming, and we could be Western
conference champions in track as well
as football

NEED MORE Halls
If Reds Had Them, Mathewson
Would Not Worry Much.
Chase One of Three Premier
First Sackers of Present Day.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

| New York. March 2O-Christy Mat
| hewson would not have worry in
the world if the Reds were a team of
Hal Chases. In that event those Red
vile lads would probably gum up the
| National league race by clinching the
pennant about the last of August.
Hal Chase is somewhat of a lum
mary in his field, for he ranks as the
best first sacker in the National
league, if not the best in baseball,
and a team of players with Chase's
ability would be a world heater.
Chase can do anything that is de-
manded of first baseman. He can
field, throw and hit and he is not
SLOUGH on the base lines. either. Last
year he led the National league in
his chances of holding on to his
laurels both as a first sacker and a
batsmap are very bright indeed.
There are two first sackers in the
majors who are compared with Chase
and they are both in the American
league Yes you guessed it off the
reel-Stuffy McInnis, of the Athletics,
and George Sisler, of the Browns.
Sweet performers? Well, rather. And
it appears that unless Fielder Jones
uncovers some one who can shine as
phenom at first and give him the OPP
portunity to use the versatile Sisler
elsewhere that George will do reg
ular duty on the initial sack this year.
McInnis has his job sewed up tight as
a drum.
They Are the Big Three.
Take these three initial baggers, line
them up against the rest, and they
stand out in a class by themselves.
Gandil, Burns, Pipp, Hoblitzel, Four
nier, Holke, Daubert, Merkle, Luderus.
Konetchy and Ness are all good first
basemen. But they don't ~ank with
the se-Sisler- McInni3 set by Il
whole lot.
Every year when the major leaguers
hike for the cotton belt to bask in the
soft. southern sunshine at least 80 per
cent of the managers have first base
recruits in tow. And 1917 is no excep-
ton.
Many of the big league clubs are
looking over first sackers this spring,
and of the lot three stand out as lads
who have the makings Two of these
three wound up the season of 1915
with the majors. Hawk Holke, of
the Giants, is one and Louis Guisto,
of the Cleveland Indians, is the other.
Both have apparently made good. Nc
Graw is depending altogether on
Holke to deliver the goods, and when
Cleveland sold Chick Gandil to the
White Sox it was apparent that Guisto
was being counted on to fill the shoes

by other events that there has been

Ribot asked former Premier BRAND
to remain as foreign minister but M.
BRAND pointed out that, having had
to deal with the allies with the double
he would not have the same weight
in diplomatic affairs with only the
latter title. He also thought that in
view of thu hostility of certain groups
it would be preferable to keep him
out of the com binatiOn.
Leon Bourgeois former premier was
then approached but refused on the
ground that his health precluded his
undertaking a labor of such magni-
tude but he agreed to take the port

The premier himself assumed the
portfolio of foreign affairs. All sec
