bankers appointed to meet with rep
resentatives of the Los Angeles Clear

FARM ADVISORS
ARE IN DEMAND

The demand for county farm ad-
visors is growing so large that the
University of California is unable to
supply them under existing funds, so
announced B. H. Croceron, director of
agricultural extension, before meet
ing of the state farm bureau held at
Berkeley on October 7. At least nine
additional county farm advisors will
be needed in California within the
next IL months if the state is to
supply the demand which the farmers
are making upon it. In addition to
these, eight assistant farm lvisors
have been called for in as many coun-
tries where the work has grown 50
large that more than one man be-
comes necessary. Federal funds have
practically reached their maximum
under the Smith-Lever act, so that
additional farm advisors must be sup
piled from the resources of the state.
Last year 25,116 farmers requested
and received the services Of these
men but in many counties the re-
quests are far beyond the capacity
of the men. Farmers sometimes have
to wait several weeks for a response
to their requests for help.

The students are still behind. the
team, as usual A pep meeting was
held in Thomas gymnasium this morn
ing to keep alive the spirit of fight,
even tho the season is literally over.
The Washburn band of twenty-five
pieces appeared in their new uniforms
for the first time, and materially aided
in the celebrations. A talk by Ream
and Captain Stevens, and several play
ers featured the rousing meeting.
Cheer Leader Harry Bone injected
considera BILE pep into the occasion and
the yells were the best heard this year.
A waffle breakfast will be served in
the Washburn cafeteria tomorrow
morning from to 1890 o'clock for
the students who remain in Topeka
for the game. The breakfast will
be served and prepared under the
auspices, of the Washburn Y. w. GA.
and all townspeople who can come are
invited. The purpose is to stimulate
the feeling of pep and victory, and in
all probability Harry Bone and his
band of leather-lunged students will
be there to add to the entertainment.
The main idea in Topeka Thursday is
to beat the Aggies. and with the help
of the townspeople and students, we
believe it can be accomplished.

Revolver Proves Fatal.

Wichita. Kan, Nov. 24.-The second
accidental discharge of a revolver he
was carrying today caused the death
of James A. Butchard, Is years of age,

Two years ago the youth dropped a

and it was again discharged. The
bullet struck him in the chest and he
died an hour later.

New York, Nov. 24.-Two important
changes in the rules of the Intercol-

a player who has been taken out of
the game at any time to be sent back
later, provided he has not committed
four personal fouls, which automatical-

provides that after a held ball beneath

IN BLUE CAMP
BY HUGGINs.

THE Thanksgiving game will be
victory for the champions of the Kan
sas conference despite. the Odds" say
the students of Washburn college, in
regard to the Washburn- Aggie game
to be played on Washburn athletic
field tomorrow. With the champion
ship conference safely tucked in their
belts, the IchabodS are out for more
meat and intend to skin the farmers
in the Thanksgiving battle.
Coach Ream is not driving the men
hard in preparation for the game.
He took them into the gym Tuesday
night at 5:20 o'clock a hitherto I'M
practicing until dark compelled them
to stop, and Ream nearly gave some
of his prize warriors heart failure
when he yelled "'round the field once
and in" at the unusual hour of $50
p. m.
While the practice lasts, however,
the men are kept going at top speed,
and in the scrimmage with the fresh
men Tuesday night, the first stringers
ran across two touchdowns. Wykoff
made the first on line plunges, and
with a minute to play, Palmatier. half
back. grabbed down thirtyyard pass
and ran forty-five yards for the
other counter.
The second string cannot hold the
Blue regulars, any better than the
Irish could last Thursday. The big
boys are continuing their smashing
streak, and Ahearn's farmers will
have to put up a good fight to stop
the advance of the Ichabods. With
the same fight and punch that the
Blues carried to win the conference,
still with them, the Aggies are due for
hard scrap, with no time out for
smoke.
Since the deciding game of the con-
ference is behind, the pep and enthu-
siasm generally manifested by the
players in the gym after practice has
taken on a subdued note. That does
not mean that the Blues are losing
their punch. Far from it. But they
are keeping it inside in a quiet, deter
mined sort of a way that BODIES i'll for
opponents.
TT would be a feather in our caps
to whip the Aggies, and altho we
aren't doing any Dragging, we are sure
going to try our best, said Captain
Stevens. That seems to be the attitude
of the entire squad. They are con-
fident of nothing except a hard fight,
and they intend to do their share of
the fighting.
Cossman and Wykoff, both all-state
men, are looked to for a great game
Turkey day. With their berths on the
all-state reserved for them, the two
largest men on the team are not going
to throw off on the last battle even
tho it would have no bearing on the
winning of the conference. That
isn't the Washburn spirit.
Simpson, halfback, who played
stellar game at St Mary's, will be
big factor in a Washburn win Thurs
day. Altho Punk had his chances for
ar all-statel position ruined by too
many shifts during the season, he is
playing a wonderful game both at Of
Tense and defense at the halfback po-
sition. His tackling is deadly. his in
terference ditto and his ball Juggling
great. He is a valuable asset in every

ANARCHY IS ANARCHY,

Washington, June 11.-In discussing the case of an anarchist who is held for deportation, Assistant Secretary of Labor Post was asked by Congressman Campbell chairman of the house rules committee:
 If the majority of the people of this country were like this man, do you think we would have any consti- tuition or government at a11?"
 The labor secretary replied:
 T think 1t likely that we would not have, but I would couple with that statement that the same condition would exist if certain business people were in the majority in this country"

nor must it be destroyed by judicial decree through injunctions. The con- stitution of the United States must have its meaning restored
 Fourth, the Congress of the United States will do well to give immediate and effective considera- | ton to the proposal of the Ameri- | can labor movement that control of credit capital be taken from pri- vate fnanciers and placed in the hands of a public trust to be ad-
 ministered upon principles volun- l tary and cooperative in character. This will strike a vital blow to- | ward eliminating the abuses of pro- flteering and exploitation. Fifth. The Congress should pro- vide immediately for full publicity for income tax returns. This means that there must be a permanent remedy for the high cost of l living.
 The Congress of the United States cannot say that 1t has not had laid be- fore 1t suggestions for effective action and plans for real relief. It can say only that it would not listen and would not act.
 Against the Congress of the United States there rests an indictment which an alert electorate will not overlook
 There must be an overturn in Con- gress!
 Enemies must be defeated. Friends must be elected.
 There must be sent to Congress men who understand and men who can be trusted The record of betrayal must for the sake of the nations welfare give place to a record of constructive progress.
 "The- declaration of war by power ful and interruptions employers is rec ognized by the working people of America. For 16 months and more these employers have been conducting a silent, insidious warfare. In the face of this warfare the labor movement will stand firm and will tolerate no break down of its standards.
 "The war of another character but driving toward the same end typifed by the enactments and the philosophy of the present Congress, can be no less ignored and it will be no less ignored. The working people of the United States are aroused not only as trade unionists, but as trade unionists, work CTS and American citizens.
 There IS a determination through out the United States to right the wrongs that have been inflicted.
 We are going forward in the United States, not backward No American citizen will rejoice that we have not been able to go forward with the pres ent Congress, but since we have not been able to go forward with the pres -ent Congress, 1t is the duty of Ameri- cans to elect a Congress with which we can go forward. To that task, then, bend all effort"
