NO FEDERAL AID
Congressional Action Now Vir-
tually Out of Question.
Kansas Wheat Help Is Up to
Hoover and President Wilson.

Chances for federal aid for wheat
growers under proposed congressional
action went glimmering today. In a
telegram to j. C. Mohler, secretary
of the state board of agriculture, SEN
ator Charles Curtis stated that federal
aid provisions in the emergency grain
production bill had been amended to
such an extent that little encourage
ment was in store for Kansas growers.
There is yet a chance for relief thru
use of funds in the hands of Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator. If
this relief is not received, an effort
will be made to secure portion of the
s50,000,000 emergency fund which
congress has placed at the disposal of
President Wilson.
Last Monday a conference was held
with Hoover concerning the use of a
portion Of his fund. No decision has
been announced as a result of thai
conference.
Recently Secretary Mohler estimat-
ed that a fund of 100000 for the
purchase of seed wheat would be nee
essary in order to insure a maximum
wheat acreage in Kansas. Crop snort
ages in many western counties this
year has discouraged heavy acreages
for next years crops.
The question of meeting demands
for seed in some of the big wheat
counties will probably be considered
late today at a meeting of the state
council of defense

NO ICE ON SUNDAY
City Delivery Will Give Drivers
a Real Day of Rest.
Reward to Men for Loyalty
During Strenuous Times.

Managers Billiard and Lawrence, of
the City Ice Delivery Co., the war
concern formed by the Mutual and
the Peoples firms of Topeka, an
nounce today that until further notice,
no ice will be delivered in this city on
Sundays.
The decision of the managers came
about as a result of the loyalty of the
employees during the hot June months
and during the strenuous period OF
the combination delivery system.
I'VE want our men to have rest
on Sunday as we'll as other laborine
men," the management stated today
"They have been true blue in their
loyalty recently and they deserve the
recreation that other men receive
During June and the combination
change and the shortage of help these
men have been most energetic and
have co-operated with the companies
to the fullest extent 1t is our wish
that they have Sundays Off"
1t means in Topeka that ice to las
over Sunday will have to be ordered
Saturdays. 1t is believed that there
will be no service complaint. The
change is made for the benefit of the
100 wagon men who have been work
ing seven days a week and who de-
serve a day of rest.
The ice plants will remain open fol
the accommodation of milk dealers

A Creature of Won Tirpitz.
Reports of the appointment Of Ad-

are accepted as final by the pane Ger
man papers, which contend that this
involves no change of policy. This
contention, however, as well as the
insurance that Won Hintze is not = pan
German, is false, according to the cor
respondent of the Daily telegraph.
Won Hintze is described by him, as a
sWashbuckler and an intimate and
creature of Admiral Won Tfrpitz, the
pan-German leader.
Much excitement was caused N the
corridors of the reichstag Tuesday by
a rumor that Won Hintze had been ap
pointed foreign secretary. After the
socialists had informed the president
they were not prepared to vote the war
credit until they knew what foreign
policy Won Hintze was going to pur-
sue it was agreed, as a way out of a
threatening situation. which possibly
would result from the majority So

rejecting the war credit, that the fun
sitting should be adjourned SO that
the house could go into committee for
confidential discussion.

ARIZONA GOOD
 ROAD BUILDERS
 IN FIRST RANK

From $750,000, the sum Arizona spent in 1917, to $30000O0, which will be spent this year on good roads, is an indication of the states awakened in- terest in this vital issue said c. H. Howard, manager local 5. F. Goodrich Rubber company depot.
 "In line with the policy all over the nation, figures just disclosed show that the amazing total of $263,O95,01O will be spent this year on good roads by the combined forces of government state and counties.
 "Yet in spite of this staggering pro- portion, it is better than half of the amouRt Secretary McAdoo announced as necessary for the relieving of the over-taxed American railroad system.
 Tn addition to the industrial ad- vntages, Arizona would derive mother benefit from her good roads. No other state in the Union offers the scenic and historical attractions to the mo- torist.
 See what good roads have done for California in this line. With proper publicity, they can do the same for Arizona.
 "The work of the Goodrich National Touring bureau in the good roads cause of the state is particularly to be con- mended. For months Seth Hudgins the road scout for this division has been routing the highways. This in- formation is now being printed or cards and will soon be available free for the asking from any Goodrich tire dealer"

TO PUMP WATER FROM LAKE FUR
 R|CE |RR|GAT| |ON

A plan to irrigate extensive holdings in Lake and Yolo counties, situated in the central part of the state of Cali fornia, has just been brought to light in the reported sale of a large amount of irrigation equipment to the Yolo Water Power company of Woodlands, California
 Heretofore these properties have been irrigated by gravity ditches from Clear Lake in the central part of Lake county, California, but owing to the fact that the lake waters have re- ceded to a considerable extent due to the long dry season during the early part of the year, it is now necessary to pump the water from the lake to the head of the irrigation ditches.
 This project requires a plant of large proportions, which already has been contracted for by the Yolo company. Western engines, manufactured by the Western Machinery company of Los Angeles, California, and Byron

ROW ID GET BEST
 SERVICE FROM 4
 STORAGE BATTERY

Knowing how is the greatest trou- hle preventative there is. according to k. l.. Gielow chief electrician for the Western Machinery company of this city, authorized representatives and service station for the Willard Storage Battery company.
 Tn operating the electrical and starting system on a motor car, there are certain things the driver should know about if he wants to get the most dependable service from it.
 No storage battery, regardless of what make it is will give long and satisfactory service if it is neglected. It simply can't be done. The storage battery on any car requires a certain amount of cars and attention just as the car itself does, and unless this care and attention is given it, will be absolutely worthless in a short time, depending entirely upon the abuse it receives.
 Gives Good Service
 "The storage battery gives good ser vice in exact proportion to the care it receives. some storage batteries last a fairly long time and give average good service simply because they re- ceive average good and occasional at tention. Others do. not last very long because they don't receive any care al all. And still others seem to hold up indefinitely and give the finest kind of service because they receive every care and attention that is required
 Realizing the tact that such is the case, the Willard Storage Battery company issue booklets and leaflets from time to time, giving detailed and specific instructions on the care of the automobile electrical system and stor- age batteries in simple terms that any owner or driver can understand. These booklets are supplied to the motorst through our service stations on re- quest only. as they are valuable to say the least and we do not wish to send them broadcast to those who are not sufficiently interested from their own standpoint, to request a copy.
 Leaflet On Electricity
 Your electrical system and how # works. is the title of Q leaflet issued by the Willard company and which we are more than willing to supply to any and every motorist who wants to ge. the longest and best service from his battery. This little booklet shows a complete diagram of the electrical sys- tenn on motor car and among other subjects treated are the following What starts the starter; Where is the current made; The brain of your sys- tenn; where most of the current goes Some things to avoid; How to make sure of results: etc.
 "These subjects give an idea of the value of the book to owners of cars and everyone should have a copy. Thcy can. toe. if they simply will ask our office for one
