for the occasion and were on the
streets organized in a parade as early

closed their doors and suspended bust

The Kansas conference football
championship title hangs in the ball
ance when the Washburn team faces
the College of Emporia, eleven at EN-
poria Friday afternoon at o'clock.
Neither team has lost a game, and
both VIII enter the contest determined
to keep the loss column inviolate.
Comparative dope gives Washburn
slightly the better of the argument
but not enough to make prediction of
a win for the Blue an absolute GER
tainty. The respective scores of the
Fairmount games alone would tend to
show that Washburn is SO per cent the
more powerful aggregation. But the
scores of this one game alone are not
authoritative. Emporia faced the
Wheatshockers at the first of the sea-
son. Washburn faced Fairmount just
week ago. First season and mid
season comparisons are apt to be de-
ceptive, SO the Fairmount struggle is
thrown in the discard.
Rcyises Dope.
The Baker game is in almost the
same category so far as seasonable
playing is concerned-but both teams
played against the Methodists when all
schools in the conference should have
hit their stride. The Baker cofnpari-
son gives Washburn 7-point lead on
the men of Coach Henry One fea-
ture of the record which would make
the Baker scores available is the fact
that Baker was a crucial game to c.
of e. while it was an aftermath of the
7gruelling Kansas struggle to the Blue.
The comparative scores made by the
two contenders for championship
laurels against Ottawa throw the ad-
vantage slightly the other way. Wash
burn won from Ottawa with an 1S
point lead. Emporia won from the
Baptists with a 81 point lead. But
again the seasonal play enters. Ottawa
was the second game on the Wash
burn schedule, Ottawa was the fifth
game on the Empofia schedule.
- Considering the contest from every
angle 1t can be said that the two teams
will be most evenly matched. The
slight Washburn advantage in COM
parative scores will be evened UP by
the fact that the Emporiaites will be
playing on their home rectangle.
1t will be battle for the gods them
selves to enjoy-and for the supporters
OF each team. to yell themselves

Campaign.
It is almost like old war times in
Topeka this first anniversary of the
signing of the armfstice. Not that 1t is
like Armistice day, 1918, but that the
Red Cross workers are on the streets
Of Topeka pushing, a Red Cross MEM
bership campaign thru tag day proc
esS.
The Red Cross membership cam
paign in Topeka has been tagging for
more than week. Less than 1000
memberships, for 1920 have been re-
ported as against more than 1000 in
the same period of time in 1918. The
directors of the Red Cross campaign
have the idea that Topeka seems to
have forgotten just what the Red
Cross did for the fighting men of Kan
sas while those men were IN the
trenches and the hospitals in France
and Flanders. They think that To-
peka seems to have lost track OF the
comforts and the medicines and the
surgical aids the Red Cross handed
Kansas marched out from the horrors
of the Argonne. They feel that To-
peka is tagging in its support to the
organization which was ready for ac-

Verdun to start the drive on Metz the
morning of November IL, 1918.
With this feeling prevailing the di-
rectors of the Red Cross membership

buttons to solicit memberships from

CORN CROP DECREASE
Kansas Production Al Million Bush
els, E. C. Paxton Reports.

While 20.S42.0o0 bushels more than
was produced last year, the Kansas
corn crop this year will be 41,71S.000
bushels less than the ten-year average,
according to the report of Edward c.
Paxton, of the United States bureau of
crop estimates. The total production
this year is forecasted at 64,365. 900
bushels. In only five years since 1874
has Kansas produced less corn.
While the acreage was less than any
year since 1894, the distribution of
production is greater than last year.
Norton leads all other counties with
2,6S3,00O bushels. The quality is gen.
orally fair.
The yield of grain sorghuns is
placed at 17.951.e09 bushels. an aver
age yield of 1874 bushels per acre, the
best average since 1915. 1t is well
matured and of excellent quality.
Stevens county leads with a produc-
tion of 1.434,00 bushels.
Kansas this year produced 5.04S,000
bushels of white potatoes and 100000
bushels of sweet potatoes. The ten
year average for white potatoes is A.
475,000 bushels.
The commercial apple crop is now
estimated at 1905 900 bushels-about
100. 900 bushels greater than last year.
