USE MAIL ORDER ICE
Disgruntled Topeka Patrons Will Buy
Product in Kansas City.

Kansas City ice will be sold in To-
peka next week in competition with
the ice manufactured by Topeka ice
plants. Such was an announcement
made Wednesday night at a meeting
of the Town Meeting club. The Rev.
Festus Foster, who is engineering the
scheme, announced that the ice would
be sold t. the consumers at the same
price local companies charged last
wear. A contract has been made with
the C. c. Booher Transfer company to
deliver the ice at $2.40 a ton, a price
J. B. BILLIARD who attended the meet
ing, declared it would be impossible to
maintain.
Billiard defended the action of To-
cal companies in raising the price Of
ice, outlined the history of the Mu-
tual Ice X Cold Storage company and
stated that the company had main
tanned the old price as long as posi-
BILE, raising when certain conditions
arose which made sale of ice at that
figure prohibitive if the company de-
sired to continue in existence. MI
merous questions were fired at him
by the members of the club as to
why all Topeka's companies increas-
ed their prices at the same time.
I'VE have to maintain the same
prices iE order to allow all companies
to exist, thereby keeping up compe-
tition which is the life of the bust
ness he responded.

ISOLATION, discussing the local baseball
situation, declared that unless 1.-The
players are willing to accept a per-
centage of the losses, we will have to
drop baseball for the season"
According to Mr.. Cantillon, the
players salary has eaten up baseball
profits for the last four or five years.
The baseball situation has come to a
stage where matters must adjust
themselves to fit conditions, or there
will be no baseball, Mr.. Cantillon said.
with an attendance of about 500 on
week days and 1000 Sundays we can
not pay out the money we did with a
daily attendance of $500.
81 am in favor of dropping baseball
for the season. I know that there are
more clubs in the American associa-
ton in favor of dropping the game. L
am also in favor of dropping the series
with the International league this
year, but whether this will be ar
ranged or not 1 cannot say. I do not
suppose there will be a minor league in
operation by July A. unless it is of the
larger minors"

ONLY WHEAT SOLUTION
1t Lies in Larger Acreage Says Mas
ter Baker-Not in Trade Control.

Chicago. May 1.-THE only solu-
ton of the high cost of wheat-with
its attendant high prices of flour and
bread-is moro acreage"
This was the declaration of S. S
Mcdonald, of Memphis. Tenn, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Master Bakers, today.
Mcdonald is here to attend the
special convention of the association,
called ito discuss cooperation with
the government in the present food
situation" which opens today. Thirty
states are represented
He refused to discuss whether the
convention would go on record as
favoring government control of wheat
and flour supplies. as rumored, but
declared his personal belief in the
ability of the boards of trade to solve
the problem of speculation.
THE boards of trade should be
kept OPEN he said, ''as they are the
only means by which the wheat crop
can be properly distributed. The fact
that July wheat is quoted at $40,
while cash wheat is $3.15, shows that
speculation has little or nothing to
do with present high wheat prices.
These are due to the fact that millers
are anxious to get wheat and are
willing to pay any price.

WARN COAL OPERATORS
Govt Will Take Over Mines if Co.
operation Fails.

Chicago. May 17.-Increase the coal
supply and eliminate the waste in fuel
was the appeal issued by the Interna-
tional Railway Fuel association at it's
convention today The appeal was
directed to coal operators, coal miners
and railroad officials. 1t was esti-
mated that a saving of per cent of
the coal used by the railways of the
United States would release about
100000 tons a year for other pur-
poses.
What was taken to be a hint that
the United States government may
seize coal mines and public utilities
if the owners do not work in harmony
with the government was contained
in an address made by c. NJ Moder-
we'll of the Council of National De-
Tense.
THE government is seeking to CO.
operate with the industries, but if CO.
operation fails, it will use compul-
sion," he said.

Information received by the state
architect indicates that supplies for all

that granite for the new east wing can
be sent to Topeka in a few weeks after
the contract is awarded. Slowness in
filling orders for steel is the only pros
pect of delay in the rebuilding of
the east wing.
