WaShburn Ambulance Team
Unable To Come to Topeka.
Many Want Game Between
Funston and DOniphah.

Topeka football fans will not have
a chance to see the Washburn am
bulance corps team in action here
against the Washburn Ichabods.
This disappointing news was re-
ceived today by the State Journal
from Lieutenant Munford, coach and
manager of the ambulance corps
eleven. who wired that the command
ing officer at Camp Pike has refused
to grant furloughs to the men,
Next to the proposed Camp Fun
ston-Camp Doniphan game, local
sport lovers have been looking for
tions before the Christmas holidays.
The Washburn players have been
keeping in training SO that they would
be able to put up real opposition to
the Munford-Ream team and the ath-
letic authorities have been working
on all the preliminaries. But of
course. army orders are law and no
further effort will be made to bring
the Pike players back to Topeka.
FunSton-Doniphan Game.
1t has been suggested that if local
promoters fail to get the Camp Fun
ston and Camp Doniphan teams to
agree to stage a game in Topeka it
might be possible to arrange a game
between Washburn and Camp Fun
ston, but many contend this would be
more of a farce than football game,
as Washburn would not have a show
against Withington's men, so the mat
ter is not likely to be pushed.
1t is still hoped that a game can be
arranged between the Funston and
Doniphan elevens and a number of
said to be planning to get behind the

KEEP GOOD COWS
Dairymen Will Make Mistake
by Selling Them Now.
All Farmers Should Study the
Feed Markets.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 5.-That
dairymen have never before faced
such serious problem in producing
dairy products at a profit as they are
facing today, is the opinion of o. E.
Reed, professor of dairy husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege.
Feed prices have doubled and the
prices paid for the dairy products
have not kept pace with this in
crease" said Professor Reed. Many
farmers who are milking cows have
wondered if they could profit by SELL
ing the cows and the feed which they
have grown. At first thought this
seems to be a logical conclusion but on
more serious consideration it is found
that this plan would only result in a
temporary relief.
Last Up, Last Down.
1t has always been true that dur
ing crisis such as the present, when
prices of all products of the farm
have risen, that milk, butter, and 9TH
er dairy products were the last to in
crease in price. This is due to the
fact that these products are perish
able and cannot be stored for any
length of time. This is true in the
case of milk. 1t is also true that when
dairy roductS do increase they are
price"
The logical thing for the dairyman
to do is to hold on to his cows, be-
lieves Professor Reed. The country
must have dairy products and in the
long run the dairymen who stick will
be repaid for their efforts.
Weed Out "BOarders."
With the increased cost of produc-
ton this seems to be the time to weed
out the boarder cows in the herd. The
meat value of the dairy animal now is
closer to the dairy value than ever be-
fore, and consequently it is possible to
weed out the poor cows and replace
them with profitable producers with
less cash outlay than ever before.
Now is the time to study the feed
market, and the dairymen in a given
community should cooperate in buy
ing their mill feed and other concen-
trates in ear lots.
Silage was never worth so much as
it will be during the coming winter
feeding period. When hay goes up in
price, silage becomes more valuable
as feed. Three tons of silage is
equivalent to about one ton of good
hay, and consequently the farmers
who put up plenty of silage this year
will reap the profit

HOLD JOINT MEETING
American and National League Mag
mates Will Thresh Out Problems.

Chicago, ILL.,. Dec. Club owners
and officials of the American and Ma
tional leagues will hold a joint meet
ing here December IS to agree on a
program for next year.
This is the outcome of a conference
here between Garry Hermann. chair
man of the national commission, and
Ban johnson, president of the Ameri-
can league. They found there were
too many problems to settle them
selves and decided to call for help.
The annual meeting of the National
league will be held in New York, De-
cember IL and the American league
meeting will be held here December
IL. Johnson wants a shorter schedule
while Hermann still holds out for
154 games. There are several other
points where the two circuits differ.

SERVICE is RESTORED
Missouri Pacific Puts Old Schedule
Back on Central Branch.

Jewell City. Kan, Dec. 5.-The Burr
Oak branch of the Central Branch line
of the Missouri Pacific railroad now
has it's former train service, the old
schedule being restored Monday. The
chair car accommodation is lacking
owing to war conditions.
The state public utilities commission
had set December for a hearing
about service. but abandoned the idea,
as the patrons of the road had never
been consulted as to the discontinue
ance of such service in the first place.

In bright and gladstone hue,
The soldiers cheered, the brass bands

And yet her heart was blue,
For Mrs. Jones' Brown Simpsons furs.

attention to the six-day bike race.
We have often wondered why our

Marvin Goodwin has enlisted as an

FIGHT IN PANAMA
That Is New Plan of the Box,

Canal Zone Country Now Per.
mits 20 Round Bouts.
BY JACK vEIoCK.

New York, Dec. Though Jess
Willard has been quoted to the eff
feet that he will not enter the ring
again to defend his skypiece until
after the war is over, there are other
champions a whole lot more popular
than the big cowboy, and with New
York wiped off the fiStic map, pro-
motors in other parts are beginning
to put out feelers for the staging of
championship bouts, though the
chances appear SLIM
Samuel Fitzpatrick. who one time
was trainer and manager of John Art
Johnson, is one of the many pro-
moters, or would-be promoters, who
is keeping an ear close to the ground.
Sam has been revealing in a dream
which includes an invasion of Panama
with troupe of boxers. and of course
he would like to take at least one
champion along with him.
Go 20 Rounds in Panama.
Panama, by the way, permits the
staging of twenty-round bouts, and
several American boxers who have
been down there say that boxing is
growing in popularity with the pass
ing of every month.
But Panama is by no means the
only spot where promoters are keep
PARKWAY Pacific coast Jimmy Cof-
froth and several others, including
Jack Kearns, are hiding their time
in the hope of pulling off a number
of big championship fights at Tia
Juana. The main drawback is the
fact that Tia Juana is just about five
thousand leagues from nowhere, and
in this day and age a promoter has
to hang a large and juicy bundle of
coin before the eyes of any champion
to entice him into the ring for a title
match. So, for the present the Tia
Juana dream is a rather uncertain
proposition.
Jack Curlev Busy.
Jack Curley, who hasn't had a lot
to say of late, is known to be cooking
up some fistic cards which. it is be-
lieved. he will attempt to stage at New
Haven, and Milwaukee promoters are
expected to bloom out with a number
of attractive cards between now and
New Years Day.
Ted Kid Lewis is practically the
only champion, aside from Willard,
who hasn't had on a suit of khaki,
and Ted, being a British subject. may
be dolled up in warsome toys before
long. Leonard and Kilbane have both
been designated as boxing instructors,
while Pete Herman, who has the best
claim on the bantamweight title. has
been drafted into the ational army.

SOFT COAL MINERS MAKE WAGE
RECORD.

New York.-United Mine Workers
have established record by securing
wage increases reaching 90 per cent for
their members employed in the bitumin-
Gus fields as result of conferences with
operators from the central competitive
fields of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
western Pennsylvania. Contracts do not
expire until next year. The increases
were granted in response to the work
ers' complaint that the former wage
scale was not sufficient to meet war
time costs of living
This advance" said President White
of the United Mine Workers, SIS in
marked contrast to the turmoil and con-
fusion that swept over the English coal
industry and threatened to paralyze Eng
lands industrial activities soon after the
war began. The operators have accept,

and discord, and have met our demands
