Do you want a good Suit value
to finish out the season? If you
do, we have a few good values
left that we are closing out very
cheaply, considering the present
prices on cloths.
We were never so well cleaned
up on Suits as this season. The
one reason for this is that the
trade have realized the values
we have been giving them and
have improved that opportunity. This
week will close out what we have left in
Suits, as we have less than dozen left.
So if you want one of these values you
should make your selection as early as
possible, while we have your size.
These Suit values are all selling at
just one-half the original price,

IRON ORE IN 1917.
Total Mined in United States Amounted

/ " JpyoG1,OOO 4OHS.
| The iron ore mined in the u'nited
| States in 1917 amounted to about IS
1924 900 gross tons, compared with 10
l6T ,6T2 tons in 1916, an increase of o.
per cent. The figures for the two years
are so nearly the same, however, tn
when the final returns are received from
all the producers the actual quantity
mined in 1917 may prove to have been
less than that mined in 1916. The lip
ments from the mines in 1917 are esti-
mated at 75,649,000 gross tons, valued
at 1926, lis, 900, compared with 1877 J..
553 tons, valued at Slsl 900, 277 in 1916
decrease in quantity of 30 per cent,
but an increase in value of POS per
cent. The general average value of the
ore per ton at the mines for the whole
United States was therefore S3.l2 in
1917, as compared with 1924 in 1915.
The stocks of iron ores at the mines APP
parentlv decreased from l0,s76,352 gross
tons in 1916 to l0,560,000 tons in 1917,
or 20 per cent.
To obtain these statistics prelimina =
figures received from producers of nearly
95 per cent of the normal output of iron
ore were compiled under the direction
of Ernest F. Burehard, of the United
States geological survey, department OF
the interior, and were supplemented by
estimates covering the remainder of the
output.
About So per cent of the ore mined
in 1917 came. as usual, from the Lake
Superior district. which mined about c.
964 900 gross tons and shipped 64,275,-
600 tons, these quantities Representing,
a very slight increase and a decrease
of 80 per cent, respectively, compai ed
with 1915. The shipments of iron ore

but when the ticket was we'll filled

answer to President Wilson's appeal.

along that she should be classified

she voted that ways The presidents
appeal simply squared the jaw of the
balky Jayhawker-Aent the voters to
the polls with determination to stand
pat and not be herded like sheep.S

tor and a possible eight congressman

that. Kansans are loyal to the core.
Kansas never has been found wanting
in an appeal from Waship
is. an appeal of policy, not politics.
Kansas is behind President Wilson in
all his dealings as the national execu-
| tive. But this state. as indicated in
Tuesdays election. feels that with a
Republican senator and eight Repub-
lican congressman she can be even
of more service to the president at the
| national capital.
1t might have been productive OF
better results especially in Kansas. il

A FAIR FARE.

The Topeka City Railway company
is asking the public utilities commits
sion for permission to increase fares to
everything else the request does not
seem unreasonable.
John J. Stanley, president of the
Cleveland Railway company and of the
American Electric Railway associa-
ton, told the executives of between
400 and 500 of the most important city
and interurban railway companies of
the country in Conference recently
that. because Of the decreasing pur-
chasing power of the dollar, the nickel
fare today is in reality a two and one
half cent fare, and that to restore it to
a parity with the return stipulated in
most franchises and statutes, it would
have to be increased to ten cents.
Commenting on federal control of
electric railways Mr.. Stanley asserted
that the national government was to-
day practically debating the wages to
be paid, the price of materials for
construction and maintenance, the
capital expenditures and the service
to be performed, all functions of reg
ulatfon heretofore exercised by state
AND local authorities. but it had not
ASSUMED the duty of fare regulation
without which the companies were
able to obey it's orders, only at the risk
of bankruptcy.
There appears to be no room for
doubt that the local company needs
the small advance it is asking and
justly Is entitled to it, and no formal
objection on the part of the patrons
has appeared.
