age cost the country over is only
$493 And If we take into con-
sideration the lower money value
of Civil war days, we sce that the
saving is much greater, even than
these figures show.
The present draft cost is shown
to vary from $1.57 per capita in
Oklahoma to $500 per capita in
Delaware. New Jersey spends only
s2.77 for each man she calls. while
Vermont has generally less than in

REFUSE TOPEKA BANKS
Two Applications for Charters Denied
by State Board Today.

Applications for charters by two
proposed new Topeka banks were to-
day denied by the state charter board.
The action of the state board affected
the application of the Union State
bank of North Topeka and the Farm
ers State bank. which planned to open
for business on the south side of the
river. Each bank had proposed to
open with a capitalization of $4,000.
Action by the state board was taken
in view of the fact that the number
of banks now in Topeka and North To-
peka are sufficient and adequately
prepared to meet banking demands.
The Union State banks incorporators
included H. f. Guthrie, A. w. Lacey,
T. j. Brown, A. H. Marshall and w. c.
Dickie. all of Topeka. Incorporators
of the Farmers State bank were B. NJ
Hook. G. A. Allen, e. W. Wagner, J.
H. Collingwood and r. NJ. Campbell
Addresses of the Farmers State bank
incorporators were not given in the
charter application.
The state board approved an appli-
cation for charter for the Farmers
State bank at Black Wolf. Ellsworth
county. The bank is capitalized for
10000.

Is absolutely indispensable to the main
renance of peace" President Wilson
declared today.
The president made this statement
in denying the authenticity of dis

paper, declaring he approved the plan
Of the league to enforce peace.
''It is entirely false" the president
said. Il am as every one knows, not
only in favor of the league of nations.

That Is Red Cross Membership
Goal of County Workers.
Estimates Place Number Of
New Members at $4,000.
REPORTS ARE GOOD
Spirit of Giving More Liberal
4 Than Ever Before.
Many Captains Are Not Prompt
in Reporting.

Altho official reports of the 1919
Christmas Roll Call of the American
Red Cross. Topeka section, show less
tLan 5000 memberships sold for the
year, yet the officials in charge of the
campaign confidently assert that more
than $4,000 persons have already
signed the list and answered to their
names with a dollar.
On account of the flu epidemic the
campaign officials decided that the
usual reporting luncheons at the
Chamber of Commerce would be abol-
ished for this campaign. Hence the
captains sometimes-or rather as a
rule-forget to report the daily prog
ress and the campaign headquarters
staff is more or less in the dark con-
cerning the actual standing of the
drive as compared to the membership
last Christmas.
Good Country Showing.
But what returns have come in have
given the staff hearts of hope. So
far the only complete returns to come
in have been from country districts
and every one of these shows at least
80 per cent increase over the 1918
membership.
i Campaign officials have set their
hearts for this drive on a final report
to be sent to Washington of not less
than 10000 members. The member
ship reported last year was 22,5O0. and
the increase is thought to be a fair ex-
pectation of the support the city and
county will give to the society in this
last big war drive.
Giving Is Liberal.
Nor Is there any particular reason
to doubt the possibility of the returns
being in line with the hopes of the
campaign officials The peOple of
the city and county, and OF the whole
United States, have passed thru long
course of education in the art of CIV
ing and giving cheerfully. AS a whole
the people are post-graduates of the
university OF the open purse. Prac-
ticaiiy every single individual who
helps to make up the sum total Of the
county's population has been imbued
with the spirit of service, and it is
thought that now the one organiza-
tfun noted to thesyArkest corners OF
the globe for its service has sent out
a call for membership support not a
single individuaT viii have the temer.
ity to say it nay.

MONEY IN APPLES
Growers, However, Must Work
Hard, G.. w. Kincah Says.
Interesting Talk Made to Fruit
Growers Today.

Possibilities and opportunities for
commercial orcharding, were related
to fruit growers today in an address
before the state. horticultural society
membership by G. w. Kincaid. of
Troy. Kincaid. who is one of the most
extensive and successful fruit growers
in southeastern KANSAS, told members
OF the horticultural society that great
opportunities were in store for the
earnest, tireless and scientific orchard
ist.
Northeastern Kansas has for years
been the banner fruit growing section
of Kansas. Doniphan county and ad-
jacent territory have produced bump
er apple crops when other localities
failed miserably. Some of the fruit
growers in the river counties have put
Kansas on the map as a fruit grow
ing state. Conditions confronted by
the northeast Kansas horticulturist,
in Kincaid's address. He told of the
hardships, trouble and expense which
confronted a fruit grower in securing
and maintaining a strong, healthy or
chard.
Not an Easy Game.
Kincaid's talk was hardly a tempta-
ton to enter the apple growing game.
It defined the sorrows which faced
the orchardist and said but little of
the returns, altho there were strong
words OF praise for conditions in the
northeast counties.
"Dust Spraying" was discussed in an
address before the convention today
by George S. Reeder, Lowell, Ark.
! Reeder is one of the prominent fruit
producers in the Arkansas district, and
he came to the Kansas convention
with a story of personal experiences
and observations Of results from dust
b., spraying.
E. H. Favor of Galvia, ILL.,, also told
the convention of spraying results.
Favor's speech covered the scientific
| side of fruit tree spraying. Effect
| and Pressure on spray Distribution
and Nozzle Efficiency" was the SUBJ
J ject of the talk by the Illinois orchard
| list.
Advantages and disadvantages of
| crop reporting were discussed during
the morning session in a paper by ].
z. Duncan of Springfield. Mo.
Afternoon Session.
"Bcrkkeeping" was the subject of
a discussion at this afternoons session
by Roy Bunger of Eskridge. Bunger,
| ty bee man. told the horticultural So
! ciety of methods which he had Sue
cessfully employed in the care of bees
and the returns which he had re-
! ceived in the sale Of honey.
| Methods of grading apples for COM
mercial purpose were outlined by
| Ashley P. Boles, a Springfield, Mo-,
, man engaged in the handling of fruit
/, for commercial purposes. Kansas ap-
| pie growers were told of the methods
| which Boles adopted in the handling
of apples sent to market He told OF
the care in packing the fruit for ship
ment and modern methods employed
that the apple might go on the mar
ket in the best possible condition and
bring the greater return to the pro-
| ducer.

Selection Of Commissioner Porter
was made by the State tuberculosis
association after careful consideration
of several men regarded as available
for the big undertaking. On Porter's s
shoulders will fall much of the re-
sponsibility for the vigorous campaign
which is to be waged in Kansas
against tuberculosis conditions. Super
vision of the State tuberculosis Nurs-
ing association, as well as organization
work in all sections of Kansas will be
placed in Porter's hands. He will di-
rect the forming of local organizations
and will be placed in charge of a cam
paign for the establishment of county
and city sanatoriums in many sections
of the state.
We'll Fitted for Work.
commissioner Porter was selected:
because of his wide acquaintance.
knowledge of conditions and unusual
organization ability" said Doctor Sip
py. in announcing the appointment.
HE will give a portion of his time to
the new work during the remainder of
his term as city commissioner of To-
peka. When his term of office expires,
he will devote his entire time to the
work.
Porter is commissioner OF parks in
Topeka and was largely responsible
for the establishment of the Topeka
It. B. sanatorium. He was director of
the boys working reserve and was
last year elected as president of the
Kansas League of municipalities. He
has a state wide acquaintance, has a
keen insight of the needs and pur-
poses of the tuberculosis association
and has already devoted much time tc
the work of the organization.
Announcement that Commissioner
Porter will devote his entire time tc
the work of the association after the
expiration of his present term, is as
sumed to indicate that Porter will no
| be a candidate for reelection.
