BATTERY A farewell
Big Entertainment VIII Be Given for
Members Wednesday Night.

Battery A and hundred of relatives
and friends of the members of the
company will! celebrate Wednesday
night with the farewell party of the
battery to be given in the Trefry
building, at 1914 Kansas avenue. 1t
will be the last party of the men of
Topeka, who will probably be called
to entrain for other points before long.
The twenty-eight piece band of the
First Field Artillery regiment has
promised to help the program and has
agreed to furnish dance and serenade
music for the party. Members of the
Military Sisterhood will act as patron
esseS and hostesseS for the celebra-
ton. The entire second floor of the
building will be decorated with flags
and military emblems and will be used
for dancing. The lower floor will be
used as a reception room.
The feature of the program will be
drills by men of the battery, to be held
on the first floor. Then, too, one of
the novel numbers on the program
will be the battery guidons, made by
women of the G. A. R. The program
also includes several novelty dances.
Proceeds from the dance will be
divided between Battery A and the
headquarters department of the artil-
lery regiment. Tickets will be for sale
by members of the organizations and
at drug stores of the city.

A MESSAGE FROM HOOVER

The United States food administra-
ton, under Herbert Hoover, faces the
gigantic task of organizing America s
food resources to win the war.
The food administration has pub
lished a pamphlet which sets forth the
worlds food needs in detail. 1t tells
exactly what America can do, and
what America must do, to feed the
democracies of the world.
This is the first complete, authori-
tative statement of the world food
problem. 1t is written for the Ameri-
can public-for you and for your
neighbor-for Americans who are
ready to work for the cause. The
State Journal will send you a copy
free.
Will You Do Your Share?
Writing of the food problem in this
pamphlet, Mr.. Hoover says: I'VE are
seeking to impose no organization
from the top We are asking the
American people to organize from the
bottom up"
If you want to do your share, the
first step is to send for this PAM
phlet and learn just what America s
task will be. Fill in your name and
address on the attached coupon and

KELLY TRIAL TUESDAY
Iowa Minister Must Answer for Death
of Eight.

Red Oak, Ia, Sept. 3.-Lyn George
J. Kelly, itinerate ordained minister,
is scheduled to go on trial here to-
morrow for the murder of Joe Moore,
Mrs. Moore and the four Moore child
rem, and. Lena and Ina Stillinger, at
Villisca, June 10, 1912.
The murders were committed while
the victims were asleep in the Moore
home. The murderer used an axe,
which was found near the Moore
home.
What effect the alleged confession
of Kelly will have on the trial is prob
lematical The state says Kelly con-
fessed last Friday that he killed the
eight persons in answer to a command
from a "shadow-the voice of God" to
STAY utterly" and that the signed con-
fession void be read at the trial. The
defense said the alleged confession
will be repudiated. Kelly himself had
nothing to say today in his cell at the
county Jail in Logan. His wife said
he still insisted he did not remember
making a confession and that he was
innocent
With the report from Omaha that
counsel would not ask for a continu-
ance because of Kelly's reported poor
health, indications here today were
that the preliminaries for the trial
would be completed more rapidly than
had been expected.

There are American League pitchers

Tommy Brennan's knights of Co

winner of the Elks-Ideal Bakery
game this afternoon, having defeated
the Ideals Sunday by the score of 8
to in one of the prettiest, cleanest
games played this season here.
The Elks and the Ideals were ready
to start their big tangle at O'Clock
this afternoon and Immediately fol-
lowing the game the winners will go
against the Knights. Indications this
morning were that the biggest base
ball crowd of the season would be on
hand.
Unusual pitching by the knights of
Columbus pitchers was the big feature
in their victory over the Ideals Sun
day. Dougherty pitched four innings
and allowed but three hits and the
only two runs made by the Ideals
came when he made a wild pitch.
Siples replaced him and allowed but
one hit in five innings.
All of the K. of c. runs came in the
fifth inning, the only time they got
to Maggie successfully. Several star
catches by Rightfielder Hentzel, of the
Knights, added to the excitement of
the afternoons performance. The
