READY FOR WORK
Ministers Show Enthusiasm
Over Jewish-Armenian Drive.
Meeting at C. of c. Today Was
Well Attended.

| Topeka churchmen went on record.
today at the Chamber of Commerce
as being behind the coming Armen-l
ian-Jewish relief fund drive to the
last man. individually and collec-s
lively they promised their efforts in
Aehalf of the drive. Hearts and souls,
arms and legs, pocketbooks and voices,
the ministers of the Topeka churches;
fund
The pledge was given at a special
meeting of all of the ministers of all
of heTopeka churches at the Cham.
Der of Commerce this noon. The
meeting was called by w A Bibys
known to all Topeka as Big Bing,
! Bang BILL who is city chairman for
the drive which is to start January l q
and is to continue to January II. In.
this week Topeka and Shawnee county
are asked to pledge $4,000 to the
joint fund to be used for the relief
of the Jew and of the Armenians.
Today's Speakers.
At the meeting today talks were
! made by Charles Dillon. director of
Armenian relief for Kansas; by B. H.
Hobbs, president of the Topeka Minis
terial Union; by Father McInerney,
priest of the Church of the Assump-
ton. by Adjutant Houser of the Sal
walton Army: by DR.. Charles NJ. Shell
don, internationally known speaker
and lecturer; and by DIR. Frank L.
Loveland, formerly pastor of the First
Methodist Church of Topeka and now
la war time speaker known to the lee
ture platforms in all parts of America.
Just to show that the cause of the
Jewish Armenian relief is not a thing
of creed or of sect but cause of hui
mainly, the invocation at the meal
and meeting was given by the Rev. B.
H. Hobbs and the blessing was given
by Father F. NJ. Hayden, the dean of
the Topeka ministry
All Of the speeches made at the
chamber this noon by the various
speakers and ministers were to the
same point. IT. was the unanimous
| opinion of every speaker expressed
and of every listener, .unexpressed,
that the cause of the Jewish Armen-
| ian relief is a cause well calculated to
appeal to the best trait of men, the
| trait of humanity and charity.
Boy Scouts to Help.
! A meeting of all Boy Scouts of To-
peka is to be held at the Chamber of
| Commerce tomorrow noon, according
to an invitation issued today by w. A
| Biby, chairman of the drive for To-
peka. The scouts are to be asked to
act in the capacity of messengers of
humanity in distributing the pamph-
let's which have been prepared as a
! part of the paraphernalia of the cam
paign. 1t is to be the duty of the
scouts to carry the word of the Ar
i menian and Jewish need right up to
the very doorsteps Of every home in
the city.
| The meeting of the scouts has been
! called for II o'clock noon tomorrow
| at the Chamber of Commerce and it
is expected that this announcement
will serve every scout as his particu-
lar invita- ton to be present {

FOOD TO STAY UP
High Prices for Many Months To.
Come Is Prediction.

High food prices for many months
to come This is the unmistakable
indication at the present time, accord
ing to G. Howard Dawson, speaking
today for the National Agricultural
society.
Some lines of foods may show
decline" Mr.. Dawson said. but as to
staples, Americans can make up their
mind that the world demand is strictly
in control of prices and that this con-
dition will endure for a long time to
come.
THE end of, the war has brought
little or no relief. Food prices are
just as largely UNDER the control of
the European situation as they were
a year ago. 1t is true there are enough
hogs coming into the markets just
now to bring about q decline in the
price of meats and fats if conditions
were usual. and it is likewise true that
the present outlook is for a surplus
of wheat in the spring. But the gov
eminent says the minimum price for
wheat and hogs must not be lowered.
THE government, fully conscious
that the appalling scarcity of food
stuffs abroad will exist for many
months, clearly is continuing it's policy
of maintaining high price levels in or
der to stimulate production to the
utmost. Few will dispute the farsight-
ed wisdom of this policy
