Men of the Eighty-frst Division Southeastern States and Porto Rico National Army) which held the line from Elk to Fresnes on the iname- diate left of General Bullard's troops in the final American advance that continued until a few minutes before Il o'clock on the morning of No vember II, 1918, received most of their army recruit drill in battle. In three days fighting they established record that will stand in the fighting annals of American history.
 In The Home Sector, the ex-sol- diers' weekly conducted by the for mer editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, Arthur E. Hartzen in speaking of the division, says:
 t"This division, fresh from the United States, was sent into active fighting on November 9th without the usual course of preliminary training. It fought up to the last minute on November 11th, and although it's fighting days were brief, they were nevertheless full of excitement.
 'On the morning of November 9th both Hanks of the division made suc- cessful attacks. The division Ter took Moranville, heavily fortified village, while the right occupied the WOOOlanQS Noire Haie Renewing the attack on the morning of November 10th. the left regiment captured Grimau- court in conjunction with the Tenth French Colonial Division on it's lett and was well into the enemy's main line of resistance by Il a. m. the next day In these three days fight ing the Eighty-frst Division had suf- fered 1,O32 casualties.
 "our troops who so gallant1y laid 1 down their lives in these last few hours of the World War were obey1ng 1 the orders of none other than Mar | shal F.och They had their share in
 winning the victory, even though ! their sacrifice came too late to affect : the result. They obeyed without 1 question the orders of the directing
 genius. And he knew too well the perfidy of the enemy's word to be
 easily convinced that the time had come to cease hostilities."

Bids were called for today, on the
order of the county commissioners, for

ty hospital to be erected one mile west

purpose of building a hospital at the
county farm, and against the construc-
ton of which an injunction was Sc
cured and sustained. The building at
the county farm was completed as a.
dormitory. with other funds. and the
bondfssue proceeds are now to be used

TURN DOWN ROUSING PLAN
Chamber Of Commerce Voted Not to
Take Up X. G. Proposition.

The directors of. the Chamber Of
Commerce at their noon meeting to-
day voted not to take up the PROPOSE
ton for the building of houses in To-
peka. which had been presented thru
the chambers housing committee by
the Home Builders, Finance company
of Kansas City. Mo-.
The action came as more or less of
a surprise to several of the support
ers of the proposition. who had be-
lieved that a majority OF the directors
was already in favor of the PROPOSE
ton.
The question arose at the meeting of
the directors as to whether the short
age of houses in Topeka is yet acute
enough to justify the campaign to
raise money which it was proposed to
stage. -
A very full discussion Of the entire
question was carried on in the meeting
of the directors
1t has been indicated that the Kan
sas City company mean to come TO To-
peka with their plan, independently of
whether the Chamber of Commerce
took itup and pushed it or not.

LOOK YOUNG.
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe and nobody can tell.
Brush it through hair.

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes
or mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't stay gray, Look young.
Either prepare the recipe atshome or
get from any drug store a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of felix's
recommend this readyzto-use prepara-
ton. because it darkens tire hair beau
ufully, besides, no one can possibly
tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and
it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous,
and you appear years younger.

HEAR PHONE CASE
Kansas City, Kan, Files Suit i'm In
dustrial Court.

A suit against the Kansas court of
industrial relations, filed by the city
of Kansas City, Kan, is on trial in
Judge George H. Whitcomb's division
of the Shawnee county district court
today.
The petition of the Kansas City at
torneys, who are representing the city
in the case, sets forth that in June. of
this year, an application of the Kansas
City Telephone company. better known
as the Home" phone company, for an
increase in the telephone rates, was
allowed by the court of industrial rela-
tions. s.se
THE petition further states that the
increase in rates was excessive; was in
violation of the terms of the COM
pany's franchise, and not uniform,
causing discrimination against the
users of the system as against the
users of the Beh company's phones in
the same city. It is stated that therezre
q, 900 users of the Home phones and
5000 users of the Bell phones in KaIas
sas City. Kan, and that the rate for
both of them is the same. SO -
The case today only proceeded as far
as the argument, and the taking of
evidence will probably commence to-
morrow. Several Kansas City at
torneys are in Topeka on the case.

Special Meeting To Be Held in EdI-

son Rate Case.
The recommendation of the city
commission committee on the pro-
posed Edison steam heat rate increase
will be made Saturday morning at
special meeting of the city commits
sion.
The special committee that con-
ferred with the Chamber of Commerce
committee and Edison representatives
regarding the proposed rate increase
was composed of Commissioner w. A
IStanfield and Commissioner Robert D.
McGiffert. The report on the COM
mittee'S recommendation was not
made as planned this morning because
the commission meeting was devoted
ito checking the resultsN of the water
works bond election.
The report Of the committee of the
commission will contain an opinion
on the rates asked by the Edison COM
of an engineer or an accountant, or
both, to work on an Investigation of
the Edison company's present and fl
nancia1 status, to learn il the rates
asked are justifiable.
The Edison company objects to the
appointment Of an accountant to con-
duct the investigation, but would agree
to an engineers appointment to- do
the work. An accountant would only
be able to determine the company's
past financial status, according to AL
bert NJ. Patten, general manager of
the Edison company, while an engi-
neer would be more nearly able to APP
proximate what the coming winters
operation d the company's plant will
cost and require in increased rates to
realize any pFoff&s
If either an engineer or an account
ant is to be appointed, the city COM
mission will have the power to make
the appointment. Tho commission will
also determine who will bear the cost
of the investigation At a meeting of
a committee OF commissioners, Cham
Der of Commerce representatives, and
Edison representatives at the Chamber
of Commerce Thursday afternoon, 1t
was suggested that the protesting mer-
chants bear half the expense of, the
investigation.

Oustek suits against more than

Under the state law stock fire in
