Senator Thompson, who is in To-
peka for a two-day visit, announced
today that he is going ahead with his
campaign plans, visiting all the towns
his itinerary calls for. and that the
only effect the influenza closing order
is having on him is that it is prevent
ing him from telling the people what
he saw when on the western front
When asked if he had any statement
to make regarding the action of the
Womans party in sending a speaker
to Kansas to fight him, the senator
said:
ST believe the women of Kansas
know how I stand and how I have
stood on all suffrage questions and
do not believe they have any quarrel
with me on these grounds. I have
nothing to say"
One of Senator Thompson's cam
paign assets brought before the pub
lie thru Democratic headquarters has
been his championship of the cause OF
suffrage on all occasions.

Collection VIII Be Taken Saturday for
French Fatherless Children.
Topekans are reminded that Satur-
day, October &c, is the day for the
rubber drive, when a committee from
the Society for the Help of the Father
less Children of France will make an
automobile tour of the city to gather
up old rubber to be sold for the bene-
fit of the fund that goes to support
war orphans of Frenchmen who. since
1914, have fallen in battles for the de-
fense of world freedom.
The city is districted for the can
vass, somewhat after the plan used by
the Red Cross in its drive for clothing
for Belgians. Those who have rubber
articles to give are asked to put them
where they can be seen and easily
taken by the collectors. With the
help OF the Boy Scouts, men who have
volunteered their own services and
their machines will drive thru the
streets and gather up the articles
given. @--
Worn AUTOMOBILE tires, old rubber
boots and 'oyershoes and any other
articles of rubber that can be spared
will be gratefully taken by the COM
mittee. In a time of shortage of rub
Der, the gift of rubber articles serves
not only the fatherless children of
France. but it helps also in furnish
ing rubber that is badly needed and
should not be wasted so long as it can
be turned to good account.

demands the highest quality at the lowest price.
Only baking powders that these demands should be
used Only baking powder that made OF the highest class
