WARMEST OCTOBER
Month Just Closed Broke 17-Year
Records in Topeka.

The month just closed was the
warmest October experienced in To-
peka in the last seventeen years. 1t
was the fourth warmest on record.
The precipitation was greater than in
any other months, except three, since
the local weather bureau was started,
according to the report of S. D. Flora,
state meteorologist.
A killing frost did not occur once
during the month. The highest tenn
perature recorded was 80 degrees. Oc-
tober 4, and the lowest "a. October IS.
The total rainfall amounted to 3.95
inches and was so well distributed that
the upper soil retained moisture thru
out the month. The precipitation of
$50 inches which fell on the 26th and
9th was one of the heaviest that has
ever fallen at this time of the year.
Several flurries of snow fell but melted
as they came down Winds did not
prevail as usual and notwithstanding
the pleasant weather sunshine was de-
ficient. The number of clear days
was the least on record.
According to Flora conditions were
ideal for the very large acreage of
wheat. which was reported to be in
the best condition every known at this
time of the year. Corn dried out and
approximately a third of it was crib
bed. Pastures are reported in good
condition

time as Banner is able to figure out
what Carey meant by the supplement

Danner is entirely at loss to under
stand just what Carey meant by his
tabulations. In making the new prices,
Banner took into consideration in
creases in cost of delivery, freight,
maintenance of yards and other ex-
penses. Now Danner wants the serv-

that he means something different.

s ss Auto Dealers Play the Game Square .sss s.sss
By L. J. FAULKNER.

The year 1919 WILL without shadow of doubt record
the greatest number of sales of passenger automobiles of any
year in the history of the industry.
Thousands of present owners will buy cars; thousands
whose preWar orders for cars were Cancelled WILL of surety
be quick buyers.
In addition to these there are thousands many thousands
who have never owned car but find themselves through
prosperous years business financially able to indulge in
long felt desire Many of these buyerstobe realize that
auloooe has vast potenaeS as saver of time and money
The great majority of the buyers, uninhuenced by
experience hesitate to the they should buy fearing that
they bought the Fzzbang they would wish aerward they
had bought the ''Geewiz" 49, = =
Price, of course is the first consideration.
AS to the various advantages of the several makes this
statement can be emphatcally made:
In no trade today does there exist conscientious
BODY OF men than automobile salesmen
Each honestly and firmly believes that his car possesses
merits superior toothers at the price Familiarity with
their make has made them feel this and the same feeling
Is as rule, transmitted to of the WE'LL they
have not expected a s., 900 value for $1,000
Every car made today is good mechanically all have
original features that appeal to certain buyers according to his
or her taste, finish is of these But-and is big but
must always be borne in mind that when dealer sells you
truck his interest does cease with the sale;
of paramount importance to him that the car shall live up to
his statements in every particular; his and the makers
reputation is back of it, they would not have it otherwise
The dealer has everything at stake, many buyers
influenced by pleased owners and the dealer plays the game
square.
Those having autos for immediate delivery are moving
them as fast as they received
The Government has set at rest in official denial the
mor that they would throw the market the and trucks

conditions there will be reductions any moment for

CIVILIZATIONS DEBT

The debt civilization owes TO those

Perhaps some day q master OF the

at night the story will bring home
to the reader an understanding Of
his dependence upon waterways, rail-
ways, and highways for everything
he uses. Then he will think of his
morning coffee-for a moment. at

the corner grocery. but as a drink for
which the foundation was brought

rivers and across oceans, over country
roads and through city streets. He

nent parts OF the innumerabIe things
he uses in his days work.
"Only such a word picture will ever
drive HON to the rank and file of
