IENTI0N OF ADMINISTRATORS
TO RATHER PECULIAR SITUA.
TION TODAY.

G. Wardlaw Num-, postmaster, far
mer and prosperous citizen of Hunt
ington, is in a dilemma concerning
some cotton seed he purchased re-
Gently. and which he subsequently
sold to a Dawson oil mill at a profit
higher than that fixed by the food ad-
ministration. The matter was brought
to the attention of the food admins
traitor by Mr. Num-, who says he
sold the excess profit simply because
the law compelled him to accept it,
and vet he is afraid he may violate
the law by holding the money,
It came about in this way: Early
in September, before any price had
been fixed on cotton seed by the food
administration, Mr.. Num- purchased a
quantity of seed at $50 ton, for re
sale, but not having sufficient for a
carload he retained the seed until
more could be bought. Later he
bought additional seed at $64 a ton,
anil these he likewise held until a
carload could be shipped at one time.
A short time ago he shipped ear
of seed to a Dawson oil mill, which
the mill refused to accept, except at
s71 a ton, the price fixed for mills
by the administration.
Meanwhile and after Mr.. Num- had
bought the seed at $50 and $64 a ton
respectively, the food administration
passed a ruling restricting the profit
of seed buyers for resale to s1.0o a

The Times-Recorder today receiv-
ed the following communication from
"A Suffering Citizen which is time
ly, and will be of wide interest to
readers of this paper:
Americas. Ga, Oct. 1, 1918.
Editor, Times Recorder: There is
crying need at this time in this beau
tiful city of ours for some action on
the part of those in authority to see
that the ordinances on our city law
are at least kept in part
ut is especially noticeable in the
past few weeks how absolutely with
out law our streets are governed and
investigation shows that we have or
dinance after ordinance covering ev-
cry one of the points mentioned be-
low
First: We have an ordinance
against dogs running loose and free
over the streets and properties in
this city. It is the duty of dog own
ers to confne them and where they
do run loose our police are instruct
ed to take them up How many dogs
have been taken up by our police
force in the past months.
Second: There is a curfew law
also on our records which states thae
children under certain age must be
off the streets at 9 o'clock each night
unless accompanied by grown up.
AT some points in this city children
SO completely take the streets that
it is impossible for people sitting CD
their porches to talk and be heard.
Third What about the ordinance
covering the lighting of automobiles
after dark, the use of noisy horns
and deafening open cut-outs-what
about 80 and 40 miles an hour on the
main residence sereets of the city
What in the world has become of our
Lo'icemen that they shut their eyes
to these plain as day laws and lei
these things exist. Some of these days
children will be killed-hydrophobia
will break out and children be bitten
and then what an enormous howl
will be raised-after it is too late.
Il hope the authorities, the Police,
the Mayor and City Council will look
into 'hi9 and give us city of real
ls., observance not one without any
observances at all but where every
ore does as he pleases
Give US less dogs loose on the
streets-more children at home study

quick arrest for every speeding auto
without lights, or with its devilish
out-out thrown wide open

AvIAT0RS REPORT THAT l NJ
MENSE TROOP TRANSPORT
TRAINS ARE MOVING IN DIREC-
TTON OF THE BELGIAN BORDER.

PARIS, Oct. 2.-Along the front
running east and northeast from the
st. Quentin-C Cambria line in north
eastern France, long trains of trans
port are moving back toward the Bel
gian frontier. Allied aviators have
reported this first indication that the
defeated enemy has begun to retreat
before the thrusts of he British
French and Americans along this
line
While the battle still RACES fiercely
along the front where for the past
five days titanic struggle has been
going on, the enemy evidently realizes
that the inroads made by the allies
on the Hindenburg line have shatter-
ed that famous position and made it
untenable.
Military observers expect, now that
retirement is actually in progress,
that the whole German line will crum-
BILE as the Teutonic armies make
their way back to their next defensive
positions.

BRING UP FRESH men
New Division Identified in Front OF
Americans in the Lorraine Sector.
(By the Associated Press.

(By IQ6 ASSOClHCeQ ffeS8.)
With the American Army in Lor-
prisoners from the Eighty-seventh
German division were captured last
night by an American patrol west of
Wanderers. This division had been in
the line in this sector only a few
days. 1t is one of the German crack
divisions and it was marched into this
area from the quiet sectoN west of
Rheims, where it had been resting.
The prisoners said the Eighty
seventh would have been sent op-
posite to the Americans sooner but
that it had been well shot to pieces
on other fronts, including that north
of the Marine during the German re-
treat, and had been compelled to
await some requirements which had
been long in coming.
Shells on Cross Roads.
An American officer visited an observa-
ton post during the day yesterday and
while he was there the observer saw a
movement of troops on the cross roads
west of the Moselle. The Germans were
moving southwark. The officer took
charge of the situation by telephoning the
artillery, which responded promptly. The
gunners opened up on the roadways and n
direct hit scored the cross roads
Just as two enemy squads had reached
that point.
Thru powerful glasses the officer saw
the shot take effect, killing some of the
enemy and wounding Others Great con-
fusion followed, and after the artillery
men had fired on the cross roads and
the region nearby for ten minutes the
troop movement toward the American
lines ceased
The cross roads were not used during
the remainder of the day yesterday.

"Jubilation" is the one word which
can be used to express the attitude OF
football fandom in Topeka after the
first week of practice at Washburn
college. The boosters are jubilant over
two things-the attitude OF Captain
frank E Shaw, commander of the
Washburn unit of the Students Army
Training corps, and the outstanding
''class' of the material which has al
ready reported for practice and
donned the moleskin battle toys
Running Signals Already.
Two full teams with half a dozen
extra players have spent all this week
chasing the spheroid pigskin in mad
career. And it has not been just 1ali-
ing on the ball and running down the
field under practice punts, eitner. Not
by any manner of means. signal prac-
tice-real signal practice has been
the order of the day and already the
first consignment of the 1918 Ichabod
squad Is fairly proficient in the rapid
obedience to the machine gun type OF
battle orders.
More Big Men Coming.
With the influx of more than ESQ
more male students September "a, the

100 Founders Coming.
Captain Shaw declares that the In

centage of the kind of men that weigh
in at around 100 pounds, stripped. He
saws that in his examination of these
men since the first of the month that
many of these huskies showed a set
of n.u--.es which should prove the de-
Gliding factor in many hard-fought
football battle this year.
For make no mistake about 1t
Washburn has the finest prospects in
tie history of IT, school for turning
out fast heavy team for the Cham
pfonship race, but so have the other
schools in the conference. Most of the

most of the schools will be on a par
