FUNDS FOR DESTITUTE
Topeka Will Raise Money for Sufferers
in Armenia and Syria.

Tuesday noon at the Chamber of
Commerce the Topeka committee of
Armenian and Syrian Relief commit
tee will meet to launch a new cam
paign to raise funds for the assist
ance of the destitute and suffering
people of the near east. Members of
the executive branch of the local COM
mittee are o h. White, chairman,
and Scott Hopkins. S. S. Estey, Arthur
Capper and d. o. Coe.
The local organization is a branch
of the national committee, with head
quarters in New York and numbering
among it's members the most promi-
nent men in public life today.
At present there are 2,144,0 900
women and children in Armenia to-
day who are totally destitute and de-
pendent upon what they receive from
relief workers. According to reports
ing passes all description.
The Topeka committee intends to
make thoro canvass in the effort to
raise a substantial sum for the relief
work. According to o. H. White
chairman, it is hoped to find at least
five hundred people here who will
contribute from a dollar a week to a
dollar month to the work. The
character of the work in the stricken
area requires a constant and steady
stream of supplies. A small periodic
payment is more acceptable to the
committee than a cash sum.

FULTON MEETS MORRIS
Big Heavies Scheduled for a 1O-Round
Bout This Week.

New York, April Erred Fulton
doubtless will find out this week II he
is good enough for shot at Jess VIII
lard's title. He will take on the vet
eran white hope, Carl Morris. here IN
a scheduled ten-round bout.
Fulton and Morris have met before
and the record shows a victory for
Morris on a foul. Morris himself
claims credit for a knockout While
Fulton says he was counted out SO fast
he didn't have time to rise after hav-
ing been floored. He comedies victory
in the first meeting to Morris.
Morris is one of the toughest spots
in Fulton's climb to the top. II he
can dispose of the Oklahoma giant,
he will be acclaimed as ready to try
the issue with Willard. If he finishes
off Morris. he probably will be sent
right out again to whip Jim Coffey
and Frank Moran.
There is no Sinking in the Fulton
camp. His willingness to start against
all tough boys and brush them out of
the way in order to try his hand at
knocking crowns off. entities him to
quite a bit of consideration.

FLAG WEARING STYLE
Topekans Decorate Themselves With
Old Glory in Unique Ways.

Where do GU wear your flag? That
exact location is distinctly individual,
or at least it seems so. Every pedes-
trian has chosen a different spot of his
or her apparel on which to pin the
stripes. Some carry kerchiefS. with
patriotic hem. Others carry out the
idea with a diminutive banner en-
brOidered in one corner. Then there is
the man who chucks 1t in his hat band
like a railroad receipt Along comes
a messenger boy with two si1ken flags
stuck in his cap, before and aft, in
steamboat fashion. Lapels, too, have
proved a favorite haunt for the en-
blems, some in enamel and others of
the silken variety.
Then, what size is it? Patriotic per-
sons have adopted every size imagin-
able, from the flag of front porch di-
mansions to the small bead like enam-
eled pin. This morning the landlady
had dirty banner shaking from her
topknot and then the grocery boy car
ried one in his white cap. The post
man had one on his sleeve and the
milk mamie came too early.
From these to the society belle. A
blouse without a flag in its folds is not
to be thought of. Some stick it in
sidewise, others pin it straight up and
then there are others who cross two
flags like guns. One petite little
maiden tackled a small silken banner
just below her naval chevron on her
left sleeve. And then another made
military shoulder pieces.
The motto seems to be "a flag" And
everyone in Topeka is shouting it but
each in different tone.

EvERS NOT THRU
Famous Little KeystOner Ex-
poets a Great Season.
This May Be His Last Year in
Grand Old Game.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 2-The Boston
Braves have somewhat of a reputa
ton as a fightin' ball club. The Braves
are fighters on the field of play. and
in this years campaign they may be
counted upon to make a hot fight for
the rag
But whatever may be said OF those
Braves. one thing stands out as an
unusual feature:
They have more temperament and
nervous energy anchored around sec
ond base than any club in the two big
leagues.
With the veteran Johnny Evers on
second and that little pepper box,
Walter Meanwhile, at short, it can be
truthfully said that there is more en-
ergy and fighting spirit to the square
inch represented by these joint guard
ians of the keystone cushion than any
other club can boast of.
Evers in Fine FettIe.
Evers is entering upon his sixteenth
year in baseball, and he hopes to make
1917 one of the best seasons of his
long career. Nervous temperament on
the field of play is a characteristic of
Evers, and no doubt his high-strung
nerves have helped to keep him in the
game this long, altho last season a
breakdown threatened to put an end to
his career.
MaranV1lIe is a little cyclone IF
energy. He is the ranking shortstop-
per of his league when it comes to
all-around ability, and like Evers he
Will fight for point at the drop of 4
hat on the field of play.
If Evers has a good season his pres
ence in the Braves lineup Gay in and
day out will mean much to Boston. 1t
Will also mean much to Naranville,
for with Evers on second the little
Rabbit is said to play a snapper
brand of ball because they work to-
Sether with machinelike preciseness.
He's Last of Old Trio.
During the winter Evers attended
the National league meeting and at
that time he looked to be in good
health. He said he had high hopes
of a banner year, and if he succeeds
in keeping his health all season he
may make this his last year in the
majors. Evers is he last of the grand
old Cub infield. He stands alone as a
landmark of one of the greatest in
field combinations ever gotten togeth-
er, for Tinker, Chance and Steinfeldt
have passed.
Evers and Frank Schultz are the
only members of the Cub champions
of 1908 who played in the memorable
game in which Fred Merk1e pulled his
famous boner in New York by forget

Acres of Wheat Abandoned.

the Kansas Grain Dealers association
Mr.. Smiley lef. Topeka the first of the
week to make a personal investigation
of stories from the wheat belt to the
effect that large percentage of the

NAGGING.

Nagging is at the bottom of most
all domestic misery. 1t brakes up far
more homes than drink and infideli-
ty. A woman can, and does forgive
the husband who looks too often upon
the flowing bowl if he is pleasant and
agreeable at home in the times be-
tween his sprees. A wife is also con-
veniently blind to her husbands side
stepping from the straight and mar
row path if in his own domestic circle
he is courteous, gallant, and appre-
ciative. Likewise man will put up
with a deal of bad housekeeping and
pay extravagant bills without muir
muir SO long as his wife is amiable,
and good humored and doesn't try to
henpeck him.
But the woman who comes to hate
her husband is she who is married to
the man who is Chief Knocker in the
! Amalgamated Hammer Wielders' I'm
ion and who finds fault with every
thing that she does, or doesn't do. The
woman who kills her husbands love
and brings him to the place where he
feels that he is entering prison
when he puts his key in his own front
door, is the perpetual crouch, who
frets and whines, and complains be-
cause she can't have this. and she
can't do that, and her husband does
do this, and he doesn't do that. Love
will stand everything but nagging
When it encounters that it just turns
up its toes and dies.-EX.

SOME THINGS THE SCHOOL
NEEDS.

There are few schools anywhere,
perhaps that are not in need of some
thing in the line of better equipment,
in one way or aother. Some more
than others. For instance every school
should be provided with charts, maps
and globes 1t is difficult to under
stand how geography and history can
be successfully taught without maps.
AS at present, the old question meth
cd is inefficient, as it always was, and
always will be, and valuable time is
lost in teaching both, rs usually it is
taught. Geography and history, too,
is crammed into the heads and memo
ries to be only forgotten, for the most
part, before next recitation. More
geography and history are learned
from the newspapers and magazines
today than from school books. But
if the study of geography and his
tory are to be taught in the schools
the latest, quickest and best methods
should prevail. The location of plac-
es, oceans and countries are best fas-
tened upon the mind by pictures and
maps of those places. In the hands OF
q skillful teacher an otherwise dry
and prosy lesson in geography or his
tory may be frightened up and made
fascinating and profitable if good
ool map is at hand Has
our school here these necessary equip
ments? 1t is said that there are only
about four maps in the entire school
three of these being small maps OF
Virginia and one Of the United States
There is none, it is reported, in the
High School. In many of the coun-
try schools the children never saw
map except the small, disconnected
ones in their text books.
In the school here there used TO be
q globe but now it is not in evidence
This article is not intended us Il crit
icism, unless some one chooses to take
it as such, but only as calling atten-
ton to needs which can be easily
and cheaply supplied.

SUCK ERING SWEET CORN.

"Must sucker my sweet corn?"

authorities say that the crop is re-

who make large crops for the mar
kets, sucker their corn, and declare
that the yield is increased thereby

a row or two just so. If suckerine
is done at all it should certainly be
