Salmon fishing Is Big Industry

The fishing industries Of the state
promise to give the food conservation
propaganda now being conducted
throughout the country great boost.
A rough estimate of the sockeye sal
mon pack which is expected to be
harvested beginning next week is to-
tailed roughly at $18,000,000. Can
neries have laid their plans to put in
tins every available salmon in order to
do their part in the nation wide food
conservation campaign. Much OF the
work in connection with the compila-
ton OF the statistics on the expected
sockeye run is handled by W. A. Low
man, canneryman Of Anacortes, who
was appointed by Gov. Lister as the
chairman of the fisheries board of the
state council Of defense.

Thinks People Should Grow Chickens

According to E. F. Benson, state
commissioner Of agriculture, the peo-
pie of the state OF Washington should
raise poultry as rapidly as possible. He
says the general raising Of chickens
will do much to stimulate food pro-
duction and relieve the danger Of a
food shortage. He points out that
chickens can be turned into meat in
side OF three months and that they can
be fed on such material that is now
waste.

Food for Polar Expedition.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-When Raold
Amundsen. the explorer, left Chicago
today for Washington it was apparent
that fife will not be one round of
whale blubber and concentrated soup
tablets on the expedition upon which
he is preparing to start for the north
pole. Preparatory for the six years
absence he purchased 900 pounds of
candy and quantities of other deli
cacies including ripe olives, sweet
picked pigs feet, dried fruit, nuts and
apple butter. A ton of meat has been
purchased for each of the ten men
who will set out on the expedition.
The menu on one Of the five or six
Christmases the men expect to spend
in the Arctic may include roast NUT
ton, roast beef, oxtails. pork. stewed
kidneys or tongue, lamb tongue ham
loaf, veal loaf, OK marrow or summer
sausage, all of these being among the
purchases.
Captain Amundsen said that he had
purchased also tea, coffee, cigarettes,
baking powder, dried eggs, dried milk,
cheese and canned vegetables.
In all $4,000 cans of food will be
carried en- the voyage. During the
trip each of the ten explorers will
consume 400 pounds of coffee, if he
drinks his share. The ship will carry
two tons of it and two tons of sugar.
The explorer asserted that after a
short stay in Washington he would
sail for Norway where his ship will be
launched in CEristiania in March

1T WAS SOME SHIRT
Rock Island Porter Said 1t Called to
World From the Hilltops."

The negro porter on the private car
belonging to G.. w. Rourke, assistant
general manager of the second district
of the Rock Island, has an acquaint-
ance and a reputation as wide as the
territory Mr.. Rourke's jurisdiction
covers. One day recently the porter
wandered into the ticket office of the
Rock Island station in Topeka, and
was greeted by the local employees and
Dick Collins, a travelling freight agent
on the Arkansas division. There was
a box of candy on the desk and the
porter was invited to help himself.
He did so, commenting that 81 don't
never refuse nothing that's give to me
except a beating
1t seems that he has, in the past,
been the recipient of a good many
cast-off clothes from Collins. Dick,
you got any more shirts fob me?'' he
wanted to know. Dick didn't have.
Retrospection and recollection kept
the porter silent for a moment, then
he broke into description of the last
shirt Dick had given him. THAT
shirt sure was a bird" he told the
men. 'It was too plumb loud for me.
Why, gentlemen, that shirt sure did
call to the world from the hilltops. l
never did dare to wear it."

A new $4,000 steel hospital struc-
ture is now assured, the plot of
ground secured and Pratt will have a

NEED FOREIGN MARKET
Trade in Pleasure Machines in @. S.
Near Saturation Point.

New York, Jan. 13.-Possibility that
the pleasure automobile market in the
United States may be near the tasatura-
ton point was suggested today as an
urgent reason why manufacturers
should develop foreign markets by DR..
Edward E. Pratt, chief of the federal
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, in an address before automo-
bile export managers of the National

IF the production continues to in

land unless very vital changes can be
effected either in the consuming pub
lie or in the price of the product, the
increase in the consumption of auto
mobiles cannot Indefinitely go on This
point of the saturation may be one
year, may be two years, may be ten
years off. The manufacturer must
clearly realize that if he has establish
err a firm export business he will not

business man. who has built up
large shirt manufacturing business
here.
And all this has come about in the
short space of five years 1t was five
years ago, January 5. 1912, that L. c.
Rain bought a shirt factory in Topeka
which then employed one, just one,
seamstress. When he started Rain and
the seamstress constituted the force.
December 8 Rain bought the Wilder
Brothers shirt factory at Lawrence,
which had been in operation for 48
years and moved the equipment and
stock and working force to Topeka,
and combined it with his Capital Shirt
factory.
In Bigger Quarters.
Now Rain has enlarged his quarters
and taken the entire third floor at SIS
Kansas avenue and has 80 power ma
chimes going and a force of 40 local
workers and travelling statesmen at
work. The goods made into Rain
made shirts come from the mills of
the United States, Scotland, India,
France and Austria and are made up
into shirts that are sent to customers
in Alaska, Canada and Mexico and to
nearly every state in the Union.
When Rain bought out the Wilder
factory he brought the experienced
cutting force, operators and office
with his own experienced force, makes
the largest and most experienced force
of shirt makers in the west.
]. f. Davis head cutter. who was
in charge of the Lawrence factory for
thirty years will have charge of the
cutting in the Topeka factory and ex-
ecute all orders as in the past.
I'VE have your measure" is a say
ing that Rain and his statesmen can
rightfully say to thousands and thou
sands of men in all parts of the coun-
try. AS a result the customer has
only to look over the samples. make
his selections, and soon a package of
Topeka made shirts, made to his meas
ure, is delivered to him.
Retain Old Place, Too.
Rain will continue his salesrooms
at 624 Kansas avenue and in addition
have the factory on the third floor of
the building at 61S Kansas avenue.
The Capital Shirt Factory is one
of Topeka's prosperous and growing
manufacturing establishments that is
sending the name of Topeka made
goods to all parts of the country.
This factory manufactures made-to-
measure shirts, pajamas, night shirts.
