LaeAey sor a time It looked like the
horse was "done for while the driver
and the wagon We're renewed with little
difficulty. The well is more than ten
feet deep and the horse occupied very
uncomfortable position at the bottom.
A tree is located at very strate gle
point. which Harry Tomlinson SAWS was
planted there for the purpose, over the
limb of which was thrown the rope of
a block and tackle. with plenty of help
standing around. the rope was securely
fastened around the body of the horse
and he was soon brought TO the surface,
safe and without scratch. The well
is dangerous, for several accidents have
occurred there recently and it should
be covered over securely or filled up.

START WORK MONDAY
Y. M. C. A. War Work Campaign VIII
Be Resumed With a Rush.

War work of the Y. M. c. A state
campaign will not be resumed until
Monday or Tuesday of next week, &C
cording to an agreement made pc
tween the Chamber of Commerce, the
100 Red Cross workers and the I. M.
C. A. campaign managers.
Then, according to this agreement
the 100 workers of the Red Cross
campaign will probably give one days
work to canvassing for the Y. M. c. A.
The association is only $4,000 short
of their $4,000 goal in Kansas. and
Topeka is the only city of the state
which has not completed the cam
paign.
The Red Cross teams will probably
give a single day to the work for the
association in return for their support
during the. Red Cross war fund cam
paign. Each team will attempt to col
iect s400 for the organization and
then the race will be over"
F. L. Geere, in charge of the To-
peka Y NJ. C. A. campaign, is working
on list of Topekans who have failed
to subscribe to the war work fund.
This list will be turned over to the
campaigners and a final drive will be
made Monday or Tuesday In the
meantime D. w. Mulvane will call his
digging dozen captains of the twelve
teams and will lay the final plans that
will carry the campaign in Kansas
past the success mark.

IT'S FICTITIOUS SCARF
No Need Yet for Frenzied Raise In
Price of Clothing.

New York, June 29.-Condemna-
ton of clothing manufacturers VINO
are soaring dealers and public into
believing that the war is sending
cloth prices sky high, was voiced mere
today by Nathan Lemtein, member OF
the board of directors of the Nationai
Association of Retail Clothiers.
There has been a small increase
in production cost" said Lemteln'
which has been absorbed by every
honest clothing merchant by q shghl
decrease in quality, with not one
penny's change in price"
Lemtein says no higher price TOT
clothes this fall either.
Fall buying is practically complet-
ed" said he. land at virtually the
same prices, proportionately, that re-
tailers paid for summer stocks"
Lemtein pointed out that this does
not mean the war may not eventually
raise prices considerably.
81 mean it has not raised them
enough to notice yet" he said.
Careful survey of the situation
shows there is surplus of 3Ot,ooo'-
900 pounds of wool now in the coun-
try. This should take care OF ali the
army and navy needs"
Lemtein said the failure of men be-
tween FL and 80 to buy summer or
fall clothes until they know whether
they are drafted has meant a loss OF
some business to the retailers.
| But the loss is scattered" he con-
tinued, land the individual deficit is
/ not heavy, so the hardship, while I'M
pleasant, might be worse"

NEW WEATHER STATION
Local Office Will Take Temperatures
at Gage Park This Summer.

A second weather station in To-
peka will soon be opened at Gage
Park, according to S. D. Flora. in
charge of the local weather office in
the Mulvane building. Two shelters
are expected to arrive this week ana
the station will be opened Immediately
after these are put up.
The weather office has for years
considered that the temperatures re-
corded in the business districts of the
city are not the real temperatures OF
the locality. Hot pavements, hlgh
| brick buildings, the heat of the crowds
| of people all tend to make the Off
| cial weather report worse than 1t
really is. At Gage Park the weather
station will be opened and the records
| made at the new office will be COM
pared with those of the downtown bu-
reau.
| The weather station in the park
will attempt to discover whether be-
i ing in the shade or in the open sun
will affect the mercury. This point
