There is nc use denying the fact that

custom OF many of the older stores
downtown to turn their Colored Gus
toners into a side room or make them
wait unnecessarily long before being

true where articles must be tried on.

shows no discrimination ought to be
highly patronized by our people as

power at this store. We also call
your particular attention to the pro-
fit-sharing plan of this Company

ings of this concern by purchasing one

twelve per cent dividend annually on

profit-sharing plan ever put before
the American people. The following
are some of the well known people
who have purchased contracts: Drs.
Fletcher, Miller, Brown, Thompson,

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL SCORES
AT BIG FOOT BALL GAME.
Lincoln 7-Topeka O.

Before a very enthusiastic and in
terested crowd at Association Park
last Friday, Lincoln Highs football
gladiators met and defeated the much
Wanted and powerful Topeka Insti-
tute team. The boys from the Cap
itol city arrived in town with a team
of "huslies" which man for man
outweighed Lincoln's boys by at least
three pounds. But as in other lines
of sport, it is not always beef and
Drawn that win, oftimes speed and
skill must be considered.
Lincoln High led by Capt. Chauncey
Smith trotted on the field at 1855 F.
M. and were cheered to the echo by
the Lincoln rooters, aided by the
school band. A few minutes later
Capt. Payne and his stalwart boys
from upstate trotted out. They too
were accorded a rousing reception,
After a few preliminary plays, the
rival Captains tossed up. Capt. Payne
of Topeka won the toss and elected
to defend the west goal with the sun
at his back. Smith kicked off for
Lincoln, Whitney ran the bail back
10 yards before being downed by Tay-
lor. After trying to pierce Lincoln's
line, Topeka decided to kick. Hick
ran the ball back Is yards and was
downed on his own 35 yard line by
Vinos. Lincoln then opened up a
series of battling forward passes with
Hicks and Taylor doing their receiv-
lag. This netted the old gold and
blue about 80 yards. Topeka's famous
yale Shift" didn't work at all as
as they were too slow getting started
and Page and Singleton would break
IL up before it got under way. The
first quarter ended with Topeka in
possession of the ball on her own 40
yard line The second quarter found
Topeka trying to gain around the
ends but there was nothing doing.
Finally Payne punted. By f~iercely hit
ting the line and trying forwards
pass, Lincoln rushed the ball to To-
peka's 80 yard line only to lose it or
downs. AT this iuncture, Hall signall-
ed for a forward pass, hurled the ball

have these men that there was no
possible way for them to get posses
sion of the ball, Washington who
was playing back came tearing
through and aided by brilliant inter
ference intercepted the pass and
rushed 81 yards for a touchdown,
Capt. Smith kicked the goal. At the
beginning Of the second half, both
teams went at each other with re-
newed vigor. Topeka resorted to
straight football. such as line plunges
and tackle, bucks. To their sorrow,
they found out that Coach Taylor's
words to his men at the end of the
first half had caused them to charge
lower and to tackle more fiercefuly.
Every play aimed at the line was hurl-
ed back by Page, Singleton, RObnett
and Perty. The Topeka boys played
brilliantly and s%tubbornly fought
every inch Of ground but there was
no way for them to reach old Lin
coins goal. Things looked dangerous
neal the close of the game when Bur
ton got loose and started for a
touch down. Taylor who had played
a remarkably strong defensive game
shattered his hopes by tackling him
fiercely on Topoka's 40 yard line.

WAR TOOK GOLD FROM PUBLIC
And Since 1915 the Production of the
Metal Has Been Decreas-
ing Steadily.

The world situation of gold has
been the subject of much discussion
and speculation. The war has caused
the accumulation of gold in state
banks and treasures, and taken II
away from private banks and the pub
lie. The holdings of state banks and
treasures have increased since 1913
from about 60 per cent of the total
stock TO about So per cent. This has
been compensated for by the issuing
of paper money, and in some countries
the paper issue has been so far In ex'
cess of the gold supply hat a serious
problem has resulted, remarks Sci
entiic American.
In 1914 the United States reported
to have had $1,S71 81, 1923 in gold and
$753, 563, 700 in silver. and in 1919
S3,0a2, 037 800 in gold and 1852, 6S5 ,692
In silver, an increase of 65 per cent in
geld.
The production Of gold has been
steadily decreasing since 1915, when
the highest point was reached. In
that year the worlds production Of
gold was $46S, 724,91S, of which the
United States produced SOL ,035, 700,
South Africa about SIS. 000,0 900, and
Australia about $50,000,000. In 1918
the world production was S377 100000,
of when the United States contributed
SOS, 493, 800, South Africa 81 100000
and Australia 500, 100000.
Recently the restriction on gold has
been removed by the United States,
and a decided movement has taken
place. England has not yet raised
the embargo on gold. because of the
fear of depicting her gold supply,
which ii is necessary to maintain at
all costs. Remedial measures sug-
gested have included raising the bank
rate 10 check exports and Increase
imports of gold. These measures, 1t is
asserted, would check the production
of nonessential commodities and the
tendency toward speculation which a
low money rate encourages.
Australia has placed the expectation
of gold in the hands of a gold pro-
ducers' association. and they are per-
mitted to sell their gold for three
months and thereby may procure a
premium we the standard price. This
move was apparently a relief measure
calculated to offset the increasing
price of producing gold.
There is nothing suggestive Of a
gold embargo in Germany. On the
contrary the country has begun to
send gold to the United States to pay
for foodstuffs and raw material, which
latter she is sadly in need Of. Ger
many has cleverly Unanswered her gold
resources, which France expected
would become part of the indemnity.

STRAWS.

Mr.. Davis Arnold, director of U. S.
Commission for Relief in Near East, left
Con stantinople about month ago Two
weeks ago he was in Paris, where he
said that the British troops began leav-
ing t he Caucasus region August 18th.
He also said that he was informed at the
British war office that it was not possible
for Englan to retain troops in Armenia
unless America would promise to send
troops to relieve them in two or three
months. Mr.. Arnold further stated that
he believed 100, 1000 American troops
could police both European and Asiatic
Turkey for two years. This is but one
of many straws showing how the League
of Nation wind blows in England, or, in
other words, what England believes the
League of Nations will require of the
United States. The hope of policing the
turbulent sections of Europe with Ameri-
can soldiers has been very pleasing to
England ever since the High Contract
ing Parties" met in France. Evidently
that hope is not yet dead

ANOTHER REASON WHY.

During the month of June, this year,
we exported 3,5O0,OOO barrels of flour,
270, 900, coo pounds of bacon and hams,
III, 600, 900 pounds of pork, $4,000, 900
pounds of lard and a correspondently
en- ormous amount of other food prod
ucts. Since the armistice was signed
Engl and has bought S25,0o0 600 worth of
leather in the United States and the
price of leather has almost doubled De-
mand in Europe has depleted the supply
in the United States. A shortage of
necessities abroad has been a factor in
boo sting prices both there and here.

DIPLOMATIC DODGI\G.

A req Onal understanding such as the
Monroe Doctrine" This seems to imply
shat they who drafted the Covenant of
the League of Nations regarded the Unit
ed States as being, no great and pow
erful nation, but as region, where the
Monroe Doctrine was a local affair and
nothing bat an understanding There
is something about this part of Article
can, to be somewhat contemptuous On
more than one occasion we have been
ready to fight for the Monroe Doctrine,
and now the President, many of our
Senators and several millions of our peo-
pie are anxious to have it recognized
in the proposed international constitution,
not as bulwark against foreign agrees
sion by the nations of the Eastern Henri
sphere against those of the Western, but
as mere regional understanding. If
those who drafted article Fl intended the
Monroe Doctrine to be what most Ameri-
cans believed it to be, why did they not
say SO in language so clear that there
could be no doubt as to what it meant.
When articles 10 and 81 were being con-
sidered by the "HighC Contracting Parties,"
one day of Grover Cleveland or of Theo-
dore Roosevelt would have been worth
more than the whole seven months of
Wilson.

The House committee on agriculture is
busy with preparation of legislation to
give larger federal control of food sup
plies. One of the most sweeping regu-
latory measures so far adopted by the
committee is one regarding cold storage.
1t provides that food may not be held in
storage more than twelve months, must
be clearly marked, when sold, with the
exact period of it's storage, and that no
food products shall be allowed to spoil or
deteriorate in storage to enhance prices.
We hope there will be penalty pro-
vided which will prevent the violation of
this proposed law and that the law itself
will be expressed in such terms as will
make its meaning unequivocal.
