RETAILERS TO BLAME
Men Who Sell Over Counter Maintain
Flour Prices, Says Market Report.

Retailers@the men who sell right
over the counter-are to blame for
continuing high prices of flour. That
is the indictment by c. A. King & Co.'S
special market report, issued from
their offices in Toledo. The retail
dealers are trying to recover from the
high prices paid for flour several
weeks ago and unjustly holding up
the price in spite of the new crop.
Neither the millers, the elevators
nor the board of trade are to blame
for the present abnormal conditions,
according to a statement issued by the
Toledo firm. They blame the retailer
whom they declare bought high and is
now trying to realize unjust and I'M
reasonable prices. AS soon the
new flour is available, the hogs will
get their bristles clipped, according to
the report.
Retailers need regulating" de-
clares the King report. Some are
still asking nearly top prices for flour.
They bought high and are trying to
realize unreasonable prices. Consum-
ers curse the board of trade. Better
curse the retailers. This condition
will be remedied soon as the new
crop moves freely. Flour will then
be offered on a July wheat basis,
which is so per cent below the cash
at present. The hogs will then get
their briStleS clipped'

JOBS FOR GIRL STUDENTS
Many Will Have Chance to Work Way
q Thru X. q. Next Winter.

Lawrence, Kan, July 5.-Ambitious
Kansas boys and girls probably will
have better opportunities to work
their way thru the University of Kan
sas the coming year than ever before,
because the war has taken so many
men students from the university.
Women students are taking the
place of men in some university jobs
now and in several instances elderly
women have come from homes to
take places formerly held by men
students. The department of journal
ism press has been forced employ
women for all its bindery work and
for other work on university publica-
lions and job orders. This work pre-
viously has been done by men stu
dents. Charles Baker, foreman of the
Journalism department press, says the
women are the better workers. AL
most half the total number of men
and women students of the university
are self-supporting and the University
and residents of Lawrence have come
to depend largely on student workers.
The calling of many young men to the
army means those who attend school
will have better jobs to pick from and
that more girls will find a chance to
work thru school OF approximately
1,400 wholly or partly self-supporting
students in school last winter, $50
were women.

4TH AT TT. RILEY
Oficers and Men Had a Big Day
of Pleasure.
Thousands of Visitors Were on
the Reservation.

Junction City, Kan. July 5.-The
Fort Riley reservation resembled a
metropolis more than an army camp
wednesday and the activities were
more like a big picnic than the gigan-
tic preparations for war that stand
out every day the soldiers and officers
are at drill. 1t was an off day for the
regulars. the rockies and the students
or the officers training camp and they
made good use of their time and free
dom by doing the things a soldier does
not have time to do when work day
tasks are to be performed.
thousands of visitors began pour
ing into the camp early in the morn

with them until late in the evening

WIRE PULLERS LOSE
Dropped From Camps When Politics
Is Used for Promotion.

Washington, July 5.-Petty politics
and attempted wire pulling at officers
training camps must stop. The gov
eminent has taken steps to stop it,
it was learned today.
AS result of political activities,
some of the men who expected to wear
shoulder straps at the head of Amer
icas new armies have been dropped.
They were quietly but summarily
told that political activities of the
folks back home made their useful
ness as officers too doubtful
The war department has kept quiet
about the conditions, chiefly because
the number sent back home has been
small in comparison with the forty
thousand in training. But the news
was permitted to permeate thru the
camps as a deterrent.
It is known that many young men
in the camps, hoping for quick rise in
rank, wrote home to father that if he
would see Mr.. So-And-So OF drop a
line to our congressman" or our
senator prospects might be made
brighter.
Such instances have been turned
over to war department chiefs who

lar camp head that the man be drop

governor, was the principal speaker
of the day. Congressman Guy T. Hell
vering and Congressman Houston OF
Tennessee also were on the program
and made very interesting addresses.
delivering went into the war in detail,
telling why the United States is in it
and what must be accomplished be-
fore peace is made.
The athletic contests and competi-
tive drills drew the biggest crowds.
Early in the morning the companies
of the officers training camp were
reviewed by General Allen and Colonel
Rivers and then the men were re-
leased for the day. However, prac-
tically all of them took part In the
contests that were staged.
Co. Nine Winner.
The Ninth company won the prize
offered by the officers for the best
appearing company in the review.
They also carried off the honors in the
platoon drill, much to the consterna-
ton of Company Four, whose MEM
bers have been boasting and betting
their spare change for several weeks
as to the outcome of the contest. In
the tug OF war contest between Bat
terry Two and Battery Three the for
mer won easily.
The other contests furnished much
amusement for the visitors. The shoe
race consisted OF taking a bunch of
shoes belonging to several men and
mixing them up in such a manner
that it was almost impossible to find
mates The man who found two of a
kind won.
There were hundreds of Topeka
people at the fort. Company Three,
of which several Topeka men are
members, gave an informal dance at
their barracks. Cliff Stratton, r. NJ.

PEARY Sees AIR RAID
.ONU.S. ACCESSIBILITY
Admiral Leaves forNSouth to Ad-
dress Waterways Meeting.

Possibility of q German air raid
on the American coast Is not too re-
mote to be neglected. That is one
of the messages which Admiral
Peary left here last night to deliver
to the convention Of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association at
Miami, Fla.
Admiral Peary Is president of the
Aerial Coast Patrol and will speak
principally on the Importance of
adequate highways along the East
ern seaboard, both in the tidal waters
and above them.
Though the Germans must make a
sustained flight Of nearly $500 miles
to reach this coast, developments in
airplanes have been. so tremendous in
the last year, Admiral Peary said,
that he would not be surprised if
German skill. diverted from turning
out submarines, had developed the
plane that can make the trip.
Signor Caproni, the italian aviator,
has confidently predicted its pos
sibility. Airplsnes might be smuggled
out Of Germany on raiding ships dis
guised as merchantmen and set loose
near the American coast.
1t Is Admiral Peary's contention
that the coast should be protected at
all times by an adequate air patrol
capable Of giving warning Of the ap-
proach of hostile air fleets. sub
marines or raiders
