Local Mention

Recruiting football players and fans
at the colleges thruout kansas to go
into the Kansas coal fields was, sug-
gested to Governor Allen today. The
governor stated that he would take
the suggestion under consideration.
There's no doubt the players would
be the sort of men needed for such
work" said Governor Allen.
Firemen at the Headquarters sta

They put on a regular Thanksgiving
dinner. The main dish was a large
goose roasted to a turn. There were
also fried chicken, mashed potatoes
and gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry
sauce, celery. lettuce, cake, coffee and
other trimmings. If an alarm came

BAD LUCK FOR BUNNY
200 Hunting Licenses Issued Wednes-
day-Many Nimrods Ex-SoIdiers.

Annihilation of the cotton tail army
was foreseen in the huge number of
hunting licenses issued during the past
week by Kenneth Raub. county CLERK.
Soldiers, especially, are availing them
selves of the opportunity offered by
the state to get free licenses.
Wednesday 200 licenses were issued,
and two-thirds of them went to ex-
service men. During the past week
the daily issue of licenses has been
topping the 100 mark. More than $50
permits have been awarded to eX-sol-
diers alone.
The climax was reached Wednesday
when 200 permits were issued indicat-
ing that an army of hunters was due
to arrive in the country today. While
the snowfall was hardly sufficient to
furnish the best kind of hunting
weather. 81 casual glance at the trains
and motor cars leaving the city early
this morning gave proof that few. if
any, of the modern Nimrods, were dis
couraged with the prospects

Water Shortage Added to Coal and

Car Troubles OF Kansas Cities.
A score of Kansas cities face a real
drouth. one that has nothing to do
with the one that hit the state in 1881.
Following the car shortage and the
coal shortage, a water shortage now
confronts these cities. according to DR..
S. J. Crumbine. secretary of the state
board of health.

Crumbine:

Doctor Crumbine. Three hot. dry
summers have dried up rivers depend

confined to these cities. Topeka. Sa-

POOR DAY FOR CAFES
Topeka HomeIcying, Owners Assert
One Restaurant Closes.

One evidence of Topeka's home
loving proclivitfes was apparent in the
restaurants today. One restaurant,
Bates's cafe, even went so far as to
close-and today is Thanksgiving day,
supposedly one of the best days of the
year for the public feeding business.
1t is not true here, tho.
Restaurant keepers in Topeka inter-
viewed today asserted that because the
majority of the people of the city are
home-owners or have relatives or close
friends of the class here, Thanksgiv-
ing and other gala days are the poor
est ones on the calendar from the
restaurant standpoint.
Restaurants catering to the clerk
and daily wage class find that their
patrons sit tight around the home
table on holidays. on work days the
clerks and wage earners have but an
hour for their noon meal, and it's gem
orally a rush and hurry to get out
side the nouriShment and back to
work even when no time must be
taken out for journey to and from
home. But on the big days of the
year when work is in the discard the
restaurants find thier patrons in no
rush to initiate the usual days. and
tho they make preparations to handle
the trade that comes in a holiday man
ner, yet they do not count on a big
business.
The re staurants which cater to the
Weather class of people-the salaried
and professional class-declare that
breakfast and evening dinners on holt
days are usually a little better than
on ordinary days. but they also assert
that the increased busin esS for break
fast and evening dinner will not equal
ize the loss of customers for the reg
ular noon meals
Nearly every restaurant in Topeka
had the festive Thanksgiving turkey
on its menu today, and it was expected
that the influx of belated diners who
watched the Kansas Missouri football
classic at Lawrence today would serve
to put business on at least a relative
basis with the business of a regular
week day of the working variety.

DUNDEE OUTPoINTS WHITE.
Ten-Round Bout Was All Johnny
From tho Start

Milwaukee, Nov. 27.-Johnny Dun
dee, New York, outpointed Charley
White of Chicago by a wide margin in
their 10-round bout here last night.
The fight was Dundee's from the
start. The scrap was so lopsided at
times that the crowd booed the Chi
cago fighter.
White made repeated tries for a
knockout with his wicked right, but
his nasty punches usually landed in
thin air.
White followed his usual system Of
letting his opponent do the leading
which just suited Dundee. The result
of this system was that White failed
to land anything in the way of a stiff
punch until the last three rounds,
when he began to open up.
Dundee left the ring without a mark.
White finished fresh with only a pair
of battered and swollen lips as
souvenir of the pummeling he re-
ceived.
Dundee had seven OF the ten rounds
and the other three were even.

BANK CLEARINGS GO UP
Indications They'll Be 40 Per Cent
Higher Than in November, 1918.

Indications They'll Be 40 Per Cent
Higher Than in November. 1918.
Topeka bank clearings for the first
two weeks of November exceeded the
clearings for the same period last year
by 100000. This figure would in
dictate that the clearings for the
month would be at least 40 per cent
in excess of the clearings for Novem-
Der. 1918.
Many reasons are given for the con-
dftion. Unusual housing conditions
have forced many persons to purchase
homes; business houses have been
forced to remodel and repair after the
let-up during the war; bumper
wheat crop caused the purchase of
many autos and bonds by farmers:
and the general prosperity of the high
wage season is reflected in growing
savings accounts
