Hoover declared he was confident
that speculation could best be held

can fix contracts for future delivery
and thereby perform valuable services
without becoming a tool for specula-

CUT PHONE DIRECTORY
Elimination of Classified Section
Brings "kicks" From Merchants.

Topeka business men at the Cham
Der of Commerce today protested the
announced action of the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company here in
eliminating from its Topeka directory
the classified business section.
A. j. Mackey, manager for the COM
pany here, Gsated that the elimination
of the classified section is due to the
high cost of materials and printing.
1t has been suggested that the bust
ness men might stand a part of the
cost of the directory altho the book
has gone to press and it probably
would be necessary to print a supple
ment to take care of the information
wanted.
The telephone company suggests
that subscribers tear from the present
book the business directory and keep
it for reference. Few changes in bust
ness telephones will be made during

In this he usually has been disappoint-

In the meantime the agricultural

of farmers differing from those of a

being done in less haphazard fashion
than formerly but the farmer is learn

The farmer can be trusted to go on

business why do so many young
men take courses in our agricultural
colleges?

When the letter that Clara had been
waiting for for days arrived she was
so excited she could not open it for
fully five minutes. But when she did
open it and read the curt official letter
enclosed, she almost cried with disap-
pointment. Her application for over
seas service had been duly received,
filed, etc, and she would be notified if
she was appointed for overseas serv-
ice She wouldn't be appointed. she
felt sure. 1t needed influence to go
overseas as a nurse. and of influence
she had none. There were more nurses
than the country needed applying to
go but just a favored few got the APP
pointments. She had thought that
because she was trained nurse that
she would have been given some con-
sideration- She had no experience but
the three years hospital training she
had just completed, perhaps that was
why she was just one of the ones who
had their application filed. There was
nothing for it but to settle down to
taking cases like the other gradu-
ates, and console her patriotic spirit
by spending all her spare time at Red
Cross work
The Rummage Sale was Clara's idea
and the other workers fell in line with
it and sat in to make it a success. For
week they collected cast-off cloth
ing from the wealthy homes of the
city and assembled it at the Red Cross
rooms. The sale was advertised for
