Jobs That Go Begging.

A labor shortage, particularly of
farm help, still exists in the state, ae-
cording to the latest weekly report of
the Kansas free employment bureau,
conducted by the state commissioner

There were 511 who registered for
jobs of whom 46S were referred and
$50 reported as placed.
The total in the unskilled labor help
wanted column for the week was $50
as compared to 472 wanting jobs. In
the unskilled labor classification 597
applications were made for men and
So for women, as compared to 437
men and 50 women who registered for
work.
Only in clerical and professional
workers did the supply exceed the
number of jobs open. Twenty-Five APP
piled for jobs, with only six applica-
tons for help. Five reported as
placed.
The demand for skilled labor just
met the supply. Seventeen applied for
positions and the same number filed
help wanted applications. Sixteen OF
the applicants were referred and ten
reported as placed.
The Wichita office continued to lead
Hutchinson, Kansas City. Parsons and

FORGOT TO CHECK OUT HOTEL

Topeka Banker Lets Friend Use Room
in X. G. Hotel-Gets Bill for S12.
Friends of certain prominent To-
peka banker are enjoying good laugh
at his expense, which involves a good
story of benevolent and congenial
friendship versus a Kansas City hotel.
The local banker was in the Muehle-
bach hotel few days ago. and stayed
several nights. When he was ready
to come home. he approached the
desk to check out and found a good
friend of his from out of the CITY. who
was trying to get a room. The clerks
were putting all men on the waiting
list, and the friend was having poor
luck. The banker, after chatting a
short time with the friend, Matched
up scheme, and gave the friend his
key. telling him that he would not
check out and for the friend to use
his name, and take the room. Friend
was only too glad to do so. and the
banker came to Topeka. Four days
later he received a letter from the
hotel containing a bill for s12, three
nights room rent. The friend had for
gotten to check out.
| At present the Topeka banker is
debating whether or not to send the
alleged friend a bill for s12 or to
blame the friends forgetfulness and
let the matter drop. In the meantime
he is the subject of much kidding from
other Topeka friends.

CHANGE NAME RURAL SCHOOL
Seaman Rural School No. Is Formed
in Honor of Teacher.

F. A. Seaman, superintendent of
North Shawnee rural high school No.
5, is SO popular with the students of
the school that when it became advis-
able to change the name of the school,
and the selection of the new name was
left to them. they called it Seaman
rural high school No. s." The vote
which changed the name of the school
was taken Tuesday.
The. Elmont rural high school will
be built farther north than the North
Shawnee school. and Superintendent
Seaman asked the students of the
school to select a new name. After
some days of discussion. a meeting was
called, at which the new name was to
be fixed. Superintendent Seaman was
asked to leave the room. and when he
returned was notified that the school
was to be named in his honor.
Mr.. Seaman resigned as chief clerk
to the state superintendent of instruc-
ton, to become the superintendent of
the school when it was recently COM
pleted.

WHAT OF SUGAR?
Slight Variation of Opinion
About Price Here.
Has Declined From 80 Cents
Per Pound to IA.
ANOTHER DROP IS PREDICTED
Staple Vegetables and Groceries
Show Real Slump.
Rice Has Been Cut Down From
% to 10 Cents.
ANOTHER DROP IS PREDICTED

There is slight variation of opinion
among Topeka wholesalers and re-
tailers as to what sugar-that absorb
ing topic of housewives and statesmen
lis going to do. Interest in the sugar
market Stacked off little while the
worlds series was on. and then revived
again.
A representative of the retailers is
AFRAID of the sugar market, and re-
fuses to guess just what it is going to
do. 1t has been coming down consis-
tently, step at time, from near the 80
cent mark until it was being sold yes
terday at Il cents per pound, retail.
The market was jumpy and uncertain,
the retailer averred, and he believes a
reaction upward is quite possible.
VIII Continue to Decline.
A wholesaler, however. was of the
opinion that sugar would continue its
gradual decline, and could see no
reason why it should react. Further
drops of one cent or more a pound,
will occur within the next 80 days. he
thinks The market is weak. he says.
The price of sugar has reached a
point so near normal. after its feverish
climb of a few months ago that fur
ther drops are not apt to be frequent
or large. Sugar was selling at whole
sale 13h cents a pound today, which

effective very few months ago.
Shortage of Canned Goods.
An actual shortage of the primary
market for canned goods. will keep
the prices on this class of stuff from
coming down. this same wholesaler
says. Apricots, peaches, prunes, rails
ms and other fruit are short this year
And there is a tremendous shortage OF
tin cans to put the fruit in if it were
available.
Drop In Staples.
Prices on some staple vegetables
and groceries have already shown a
| real decline. On beans. for example
which short time ago were selling al
20 cents per pound, the price now is

MUMMIEs STILL HIDDEN.

Although the armistice was signed
more than a year ago, Egyptian
mummies belonging to the British
museum are still lying in cold, damp
underground tunnels of buildings,
where they were reinterred SO that
they might not be injured by zeppe-
lin raids.
Previously having spent centuries
in the tombs Of kings in Egypt, if
they could speak the mummies
would resent this troglodytic exist
ence, but school children have
spoken for them. They want to see
the mummies again, but the museum
is still closed to the-public and the
mummies are still left in their hid

WHEAT OF HIGH FOOD VALUE
New Super-Brand the Result Of Many
Years of Experimenting by
Luther Burbank.

A super-wheat, containing an un-
usually high percentage of gluten,
and 50 sturdy that it may be grown
anywhere from Labrador to Pata-
gonia, has been evolved after expert
ments extending over II years by
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard
Of California.
The new wheat, winter brand
like other wheats grown in Califor-
MA, is an exceedingly early grain,
the earliest OF some 400 varieties
grown by Burbank. 1t was tested
by comparison with 68 Of the best
wheats of the world. Burbank
found it superior in yield, uniform
ity and all other desirable character
istics. 1t grows vigorously to a
height of four feet on good, ordinary
soil, and thriyes in almost any but
the most extreme climates.
The super-wheat was tried for
baking bread, with highly satisfac-
tory results. The loaves were of good
color, texture and taste, the food
value Of the bread depending on the
high percentage Of gluten in it.
Glaten has a high food value and
contains from Is to 18 per cent of
nitrogen, in addition to carbon, hy-
drogen, oxygen and sulphur.
