 The stocks of coal and road ma- terial which has fallen into our hands. together with large quanti- ties of other war material. prove that it was the enemy's intention to remain in occupation of the Somme battlefield during the win- ter months, and also the hurried nature of the retreat that has been forced upon him.

Fourth Fatal to Chicaqo

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Boston concen- trated it's energies in the fourth inning of today's game of the world series and squeezed in two runs which were just enough to annex, to l, the third of the contests from the Chicago Ma ttpnals. The one run margin was iD constant danger, however, and it was Npot until Pick, Chicago second base Rnan. was caught at the plate for the third out in the last half of the ninth inning that victory perched finally in tho Boston dugout
 Chicaso's lone tally came in the fifth inning and was largely funk, but Mitchell's men never quit trying and iu their half of the ninth started des- prrate rally which might have tied ille score and run the game into extra in- nings had not Pick in frantic effort to cross the plate thrown the chance away by reckless base running.

STOLEN CARS FOUND.
Two Stolen Columbus Cars Found,
But No Clue to Chubb's Car
Theft Reported

Automobiles stolen from Colum-
bus garages belonging to George Bun
yon and B. F. Shannon Wednesday
night about the same time the d. S.
Chubb Buick was stolen from Mill
tary street in Baxter Springs We'd
nesday night, have been found, but
Mr.. Chubb has not been so lucky.
Bunyan's car was Studebaker and
Shannon's car was a Ford. Yesterday
morning Mrs. Bliss Deem living in
Spring Valley township northwest of
Baxter Springs, telephoned to Sher-
iff Bob Frazier that an abandoned
car was standing in the road short
distance from her home. The car
was the Shannon Ford. The two
front tires had been taken and the
rear casing cut in several places, ap-
parently with a knife. Tools from
the car were also missing. 1t is
thought the parties stealing the Ford
also took the Studebaker. Tracks
believed to have been those of the
Studebaker were found near the Ford
and oil was spilled on the ground,
thought to have been taken from the
Ford.
Yesterday afternoon the sheriff was
notified that the Studebaker had been
captured by the A. II. T. A. at Sew
cry, Kas., about 11O miles west of
Baxter Springs. The telegram did
not say whether the thieves had been
taken. Mr.. Bunyon went to Ere
donia to do some investigating and
will drive the car home.

WAR EMERGENCY
CALL FOR WHEAT.
Farmers Who do Not Sell Before May
I, VIII Have to Pay for the
Cost Of RsquIsltIon.

The United States Food Administrh
tion has issued an order for farmers
who will hold the 1917 crop to mar.
ket It promptly. Following iS the war
call as issued by Walter p. Innes to
Kansas farmers:
1T is now necessary for the govern
mont to demand the immediate deliv.
cry OF all wheat to the market.
1T is estimated that Kansas farm.
ers are holding about two and q half
million bushels OF wheat from the 1917
crop and some few scattered lots from
the 1916 harvest.
"All wheat must be marketed before
May l. Holders Of wheat ere hereby
requested to advise this office at once
II for any reason they will be unable
to market their wheat before the time
limit. Each case will be investigated
and II reasons are deemed sufficient
extra time will be given.
Failure to deliver or have permit
from this office before May /, will be
considered sufficient reason by the
government to requlsition any and all
wheat held by the farmer.
voluntary marketing OF the wheat
is urged as patriotic duty. Produc-
ers will thus tighten the burdens of
government officials and very mater.
tally help to win the war.
where requisition is necessary
charges for transportation from the
farm to the elevator will be deducted
from the price OF the wheat at the ele-
vator, and wide publicity will be given
to the seizure.
I'VE have a few instances where
farmers are boarding their wheat out
Of desire to obstruct the government |
II is not fair for them to prejudice
loyal members OF our community.
Our Kansas farmers, we know, will |
respond promptly with their charac.
terlstic loyalty.

UNExAMPLED INHUMANITY
ON PART OF OUR ENEMY

In Poland, according to the great
pianist Paderewski, who says he will
play the piano no more until Poland
is free. the German authorities sent
out word to the farmers on one occas.
sion that 500 little Polish children
were starving in the city, and that
they could not be saved unless the
farmers would come and take them
home and feed them. Moved by this
appeal, the farmers responded. since
on a farm 1t is always possible to get
an extra egg or little milk, etc. In
stead Of being given the little children
the German officials fined the farmers
for boarding and took whatever they
could find II is against that unex'
ampled ingenuity OF fiendishness that
our country is fighting. We are called
upon to meet an enemy that has lost
his soul and stops at no ruthlessness
that will serve his military purpose.

'JlP[IN DON'T In
WANT MIAMI
Mani Excluded from Partici-
patton in Auto Show Be-
ing Held This Week at
Joplin

Why don't Joplin want Miami re-
presented in the automobile show
Is Baxter Springs complimented OF
mnhgned by being allowed represent
alton? tint It just possible Joplin
is afraid Of Miami and had we ought
to SO readily participate in Joplin's
little stunts? Here is little food for
thought in a clipping from the Miami
Record-Herald for Baxter town build
ers.
v Miami has been excluded from par
ticipation in the First Annual Auto
mobile Show at Joplin. The motor
car dealers of Jasper county are de-
termined to prevent any Miami agen-
cy being represented at the show and
have combined to prevent cars dis
tributed by dealers Of this city from
being placed on exhibition there, ac-
cording to statement made Thursday
morning by C. E. Lee, manager Of the
Coleman-H Harvey Buggy company.
The Coleman Harvey Buggy Com
pany of Miami, agents for the Win
ton Six in Jasper, Newton and Nc
Donald counties, in Missouri, was
granted a space allotment in the
show building several weeks ago.
Later the firm was informed that its
exhibit could not be shown.
C. E. Lee and George Magee, OF
the local firm, went to Joplin and
rented a space in the lobby Of the
Connor Hotel. They proposed to
place on exhibition there the latest
type of Winton Six. A delegation
of Joplin dealers waited on the man.
ager of the hotel Wednesday and told
him that if he did not break his con-
tract with the Coleman-Harvey com
pany he would bring down the wrath
of the Joplin Dealers association on
his head.
The hotel manager informed Mr.
Lee that he was ready to fill his con-
tract for the use of the lobby re-
gardless of the consequences. Being
convinced of the fairness OF the hotel
man and not wishing to cause him
injury that might result from the
displeasure of the Joplin dealers,
Mr.. Lee Withdrew his car, he said.
The Miami agency, however, Will
be represented in Joplin. The local
men will show their car on the
streets of the Missouri town. The
car will be placarded with signs an
nouncing that it was excluded from
the show because its agents make
their headquarters in Miami.
The only attempt to disguise the
reasons for the actions was o
claim set up by the Joplin dealers
that the exhibition was for the Jas
pey county concerns only. However,
concerns from Kansas and many
points in Missouri, including Spring
field, were given space in the show
building.
Mr.. Lee said Thursday that he be-
lieved that besides the desire OF the
joplin dealers to prevent Miami be-
inc represented they were also con-
cerned by the fact that no other car
of the class of the Winton Six was on
exhibition.
