PUT ON BOTTLE DRIVE
Proceeds From Collection VIII Go to
tuberculosis Hospital.

The Topeka Public Health Nursing
ISOLATION is to conduct bottle
drive for the benefit of the fund for
the association work and the Tubercu-
Iosis hospital. The principals of the
Topeka grade schools have agreed to
assist in the drive thru the public
school students.
The plan is to have each pupil in the
schools take all the empty medicine
bottles he can gather together to the
school. The collections of bottles will
be sold to druggists who will pay from
/ to cents a bottle.
The Nurse association believes that
all housewives will welcome an OPP
portunity to clear out old bottles, and
at the same time serve a worthy cause.

Junction City, Kan. Nov. Clamp
Funston and Fort Riley will not be

conclusion in the opinion Of army
men. One estimate is that there will

Funston for several years after the
war, meaning that this number of men
would be constantly in camp awaiting
emobilization. Afterward, it is esti-
mated, there will be from 10000 to
10000 men in training at the canton
ment at all times. In addition to this
number, it will require approximately
5000 men to police and care for the

GREAT DEMAND
FOR BASEBALLS
Sports Goods Deal

2OOO MINES ABROAD

n presence of large number of
American and Canadian soldiers abroad
has caused such an unprecedented de-
mand throughout England for all kinds
of baseball supplies that IT is almost
impossible to satisfy the constantly In
creasing requests from training camps
and stations for balls, bats, masks. shoes,
gloves and protectors.
It IS estimated by sporting authorities
that there will be q emand for baseball
equipment during the present season to
outfit 1000 cams and all of 1t must be
exported from New York.
A special report to the Department of
Commerce from Vice Consul Stewart S.
Hayes, at London. states that the de-
mand for athletic equipment in Eng
land has been decreased since the war
began about go per cent on all goods
except footballs. boxing gloves and base
ball paraphernalia. The supply of base
ball equipment has at all times been less
thar the demand, which foreign dealers
sought to meet by importations, but.
being unable to gauge the market, they
continued to order in insufficient a
titles until the restriction of imports
made the obta ming of such goods ex-
tremely difficult.
At present. with the American army
an navy forces i'm England. the demand
has reached proportions that cannot be
satisfied without large supplies being
shipped from the United States. The
books of a large London sports store
indicate the increase for baseball equip
ment since 1914. In 1915 the approxi-
mate value Of baseball imports was
