For the Good of
 the Community

THE United States shipping board re- ports that many of the commodities imported into the United States from the east coast of South America have distinct active and dull seasons of shipments, while some others do not
 From May to October is the season of < low movement with the season of low movement reached in July and August. From November to May is the busy sea- son with the exception of February. when there is short dull period.
 NO such variance appears in the ex- ports from the United States to the east coast. In some instances this period of small import is more or less coincedent W4sl the large receipts of commodities from the middle American division. as for example, bananas, sugar and coffee from Central America and Columbia. and mahogany from Central America.
 Seasonal variations of imports from Argentina correspond with shipments of wool, wheat and flaxseed from that coun- try; from Brazil coffee, rubber and ca cao, and from Uruguay, wool.
 The River Plate region shows examples of marked seasonal variations in the ex- port movements of wool, wheat, corn and flaxseed From Argentina the wheat movement IS large from January to April; corn from June to October; flaxseed from January to June. The harvest season for coffee in Brazil is fromsApril to August: Brazil nuts in January; cacao in Decem- Der and January
 Rubber trees are tapped in the dry sea- sons with heaviest imports into the United States in March, and lightest in July and August.
 Hides and fresh meats show seasons of high and low activity, but there is consid- erable irregularity in fluctuations from year to year.
 Imports from the United States into the east coast countries do not show the irreg- ularity that exists in the exports to this country with the result that during parts of the year the return cargoes from the south are light while about the same amount of cargo space, is required throughout the year to carry American goods to those countries
 The report shows that the deadWeight tonnage required to handle the business between the United States and the east coast of South America increased from 494, ,695 tons on January l to 720, 525 tons May l, 1919.
 The estimates for the year 1920 are largely in, excess of the figures reported for the early part of the current year, and with the allocation of many additional ships to the gulf ports, and particularly to Mobile, the greater percentage of the inn ports from the east coast of South Ameri- ca may be expected to come through these ports.

Barnes's Men Showed Pounding
Attack and IrOnclad Defense.

The Topeka high school football
team retrieved its lost laurels on
Washburn field Saturday afternoon

her safety in the first few minutes of
play until the final whistle ended it.
Topeka kicked off to Emporia. who
landed the ball in midfield on the re-
turn. Almost Immediately Carrie
Tipped a long one to Captain Hin
shaw. who laid the ball on Topeka's
15-yard line. A series of plunges
failed and Topeka got the ball on
downs on her own four yard line.
Captain Bonebrake standing behind
his own goal received bad pass from
Irwin at center and was thrown for a
safety before he could advance the
ball to the playing field. The ball was
put in scrimmage on the twenty yard
line and Topeka marched the length
of the field for its first touchdown.
From this point on the game was new
er in doubt. In the second period To-
peka plunged two more counters over
making the score at the end of the
half 20 to 2 for Topeka.
Emporia fought hard in the last
half and it was not until the conclud-
ing minutes of play that Topeka was
able to punch another touchdown
over. The playing of Bonebrake. To-
peka captain, and the charging of the
Topeka line were the features of the
