serves to remind people living afar
from the seat of that s0cial-relig-
ious body that America "still has
solidly established within its
borders a powerful hierarchical
organization east on Biblical and
oriental lines Thus the Boston
Transcript characterizes the
church which in the past has cone
into conflict with legal authorities
ON account Of some fundamental
tenets of its creed. The late head
Of the church was an early advo-
cate of polygamy, and after 1890
preferred to suffer prosecution
rather, as he said. than abandon
his children and their mothers.
The group shown gives an
idea Of how large were the re-
Sponsibilities he had taken on HIM
self. He is spoken Of by The
Transcript as ''the last % the men
in power in the Mormon Church
who outdated the Exodus to
Utah. Nephew of the original
Joseph Smith, revered by the Nor
mons as prophet, "he drove an
ox-team on the long trek from tie
banks Of the Mississippi to the
Ealt Lake Valley in 1S46-47." He
was brought up on the principles
and beliefs of the Saints, and was.
like his uncle, reverenced as "of
the blood Of the Prophet; but,
saws The Transcript. "like every
other Norman, he had to make
good his claim to advancement in
the church or the community by
humble and patient service
through a long process Of slow pro-

truck statesmen was represented in the
parade today, each one of them being
blazoned with a huge sign boosting
the ship-by-truck movement. The
parade today was led by Mayor Cor
wine riding in the car of Fire Chief
Hanlon.
Fleet From Kansas City.
One of the features OF the parade
was the fleet of eleven big motor
trucks which arrived IN Topeka from
Kansas City at Sis o'clock Tuesday
evening. These trucks made the run
from Kansas City to Topeka in a run
ming time of five and one-half hours.
The fleet Is in charge of r. J. Fred
man of the Firestone Ship-by-truck
bureau.
Other features of the parade today
were the trucks driven by the farmers
OF the county. These trucks were
loaded with every conceivable kind of
produce and most of them had made
a trip of fifteen or twenty miles this
morning. All of these farmer owned
trucks showed signs of regular usage
and 1t was evident that shipping by
truck was no new thing to these men.
Program at. Pavilion.
Arrived at the fair grounds the pa
rade broke up and the drivers imme-
diately went to the Peoples pavilion.
where a special ship by truck program
was given. Talks on the movement
were made by J. Frank Smith. secre-
tary of the Greater Kansas City Good
Roads association; by Carl J. Baer.
superintendent of the production de-
Commerce; and by Frank G. Odell, Of
the Capper Publications.
This afternoon the Boys and Girls
department gave the second of its SER
les of canning demonstrations. Five
teams of three girls each were in
charge Of the demonstration which
was more or less Of a canning contest
arranged by Miss Lottie Milan of the
Kansas State Agricultural college
Tonight at 1880 o'clock the big Peo-
pies pavilion is the scene of the Eighty
ninth division reunion. Captain Les
lie Edmonds presides at this meeting.
The speaker of the evening is Col.
James H. Reeves of the 353d ALL
infantry. Colonel Reeves is
and Is in Topeka, especially to attend
the reunion.
Colonel Reeves was in Topeka, Dec
oratfon Day when be led his fighting
in their triumph down
avenue. Colonel Reeves wears
the distinguished service cross and his
regiment is the only Kansas unit to be
decorated as unit for meritorious
service IN France
A big feature of the truck parade
on Kansas avenue this morning was
an unexpected feature. Two tourists
driving trucks fitted up like prairie
schooners Of the old days saw the pa
rade and promptly fell into line. These
trucks are bound on a transcontinental
trip and are neither part nor parcel of
any movement" They are perhaps
the best argument in favor of the ship
by-truck program that could have
been introduced in the parade today.

stars bob up In the major league firmae
ment, sparkle a while and then fade
out Of sight. In fact, he was veteran
when most of the present major league
catching greats reached the top.
For Ten Long Years.
The most remarkable feature of
Stanage's long career is the fact that
he has been Detroit's first catcher for
ten seasons. During that time he has
taken all the bumps that a catcher is
expected to take, and, except for lay
offs due to injuries, has been in the
lineup almost constantly. He was par
ticularly unfortunate with injuries last
season.
And yet Jennings and Tigers to a
man insist that the veteran receiver
is as good as ever. They believe he
is due for great year, his best for
some time.
Unless his foot trouble which de-
veloped recently becomes serious, he
will probably catch most of the games
again this season.

reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real

Germans Understand American Pas

Hooted MispIays.

Lieut.. Lloyd Waite, formerly Pr
rate, and recently returned from
France, where he served in the same
artillery regiment with Grover Alex

lot more about baseball than general
ly is supposed.
On several occasions, when Ameri-
can soldiers were playing games in
dangerously exposed positions, Ger
mans within good firing distance not
only let them alone, but stood up in
their trenches and hooted derisively
when anybody made fielding error,
struck out, or bone-headed on q play.

Peculiar Patches in SKY.

Not less than 1872 more or less clear
Nv defined dark patches in the sky are
recognized by Prof. e. e. Barnard in
his latest catalogue. In some cases
they are fairly round and regular, in
others they are Of complicated and
contorted form and their appearance
and sharpness suggest that they are
dark clouds or nebulae cutting off a
background made family luminous by
unseen stars or diffused nebulous
matter. Most, though not all, of the
dark patches are in the region of the
Milky Way, where so much Of the ma

Harhlnaer of War Fable.

Since ancient days the locust has
been the flying wing of superstition.
People forget from 1912 till 1919 that
the locust has markings on his wings
which carry distinct letter w, which,
when noticed, usually results in many
stories that war is at hand, the letter
w being supposed to stand for the
word, war. But the fallacy of such
a supposition is in itself evident from
the fact that the word for war in
French does not begin with w, nor
does il liz Italian or Spanish.

RUDE WADDELL'S ODD
STUNT Is INITIATED

RUDE Waddell's famous stunt
OF calling in all of his infielders
and 0utfielders and striking out
the other fellows was duplicated
by George Uhle recently in put
ting the finishing touches to a
Ia to l victory for the Indians
over the Tulane varsity ball nine
at New Orleans.
The outtielders left the field
and the infielders clustered
around second base while George
struck them out in one-two-three
order in the ninth.
Waddell, while with the Ath-
letics some years ago, made the
Albany team furious by chasing
every member of his team from
the field except the catcher.
And when it came to the final
strike for the third man, Rube
even made his catcher sit down
on the ground to receive it.
This Uhle stunt was planned
more by the Tribesmen than 1t
was by Uhle himself, the Indians
doing it to show their belief in
the rockies prowess.
