FACING FOOD FAMINE

Richmond, Virginia and the United
States face a food shortage of proper
ticns verging on actual famine unless
immediate relief is received by the
agricultural interests. This is the
opinion of Oliver J. Sands, chairman
of the agricultural committee of the
Richmond chamber of commerce and
president of the American National
Bank. Mr.. Sands, who has just return
ed from the annual conference of the
Virginia Bankers Association, at Hot
Springs. declared today that he has
information that $4,000 New England
farms are short Of sufficient labor to
harvest and market their crops.
Similar conditions prevail largely
throughout the country in his belief,
and to remedy this situation Mr.. Sands
is urging the government to take
steps to divert labor from non-essen-
tial pursuits to the farms. Mr.. Sands
committee has recommended that
thousands of men in government en-
plov now engaged in activities not VI
tally important to the welfare OF the
nation be encouraged to take up farm
work temporarily for the national re-
lief. Unless such steps are taken, he
said. food conditions next winter I'M
doubtedly will be serious. with high
err prices resulting from the scarcity.
The matter is now under the consid-
Grafton of the secretary of the navy
and the department Of labor.

A REAL HOUSE SHORTAGE.
Real Estate Man Favors Putting Off
RuiIdinC Until Spring.

The committee representing the
building and loan associations. the
real estate operators and the Cham
Der of Commerce directors, is ready to
report that there is a real shortage
of houses in Topeka.
THE question in my mind, SAID W.
T Dawson, one of the real estate rep
resentatives .on the committee. is
whether it is wise to start N on this
building project, at this season of the
wear It seems to me it might be
wiser to wait until next spring. We
all admit that there is a house Snort
age and that more houses should be
built"
The committee is to report on the
house shortage and their opinion on
the proposed building project of the
Home Builders Finance company OF
Kansas City to the board of the direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce. 1t
is not probable that a meeting of the
directors will be held until next week.
THE real estate, building and loan
and directors committee can report
direct to the chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce housing committee,
William Horley, if they are ready,
said A l.. Oliger, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, this afternoon.
Elmer F. Strain, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, is in Kansas
City today on business.

SULPHUR CLEARS Up

Face, Neck and Arms Easily
Made Smooth, Says Specialist.

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
Sulphur, declares a noted skin special
list Because of its germ destroying
properties, this sulphur preparation
begins at once to soOthe irritated skin
and heal erupti )ns such as rash, pim-
pies and ring worm.
1t seldom fails to remove the tor
ment and Disagreement. and you do
not have to wait for relief from en-
barra ssment. Improvement quickly
shows. Sufferers from skin trouble
should obtain a small jar of Mentho-
Sulphur from any good druggist and
use it like cold cream.-AdV.

HARRY PERRY is OUSTED
Mayer of Smoky Row Convicted of
Stuffing Ballot Box in Election.


Harry Perry. since April mayor of
'Topeka's Smoky Row" was arrested
by his chief of police, Billy Ander-
son, this morning, taken before Judge
Hugh MacFarland in the Chesterfield
hotel court and convicted of stuffing
the ballot boxes at the last election
He was ousted from office after a
heated trial and today the Bottoms
is without a mayor. Chief of Police
Anderson and Dog Catcher DICK
Hodgins are in power.
The original arrest was made by the
chief of police because it was asserted
that Mayor Perry collected hush
money from the characters" in the
district and failed to split the pro-
ceeds with his chief and dog catcher.
it was charged also that Perry had al
lowed voters to case their ballots who
under the rule of Smoky Row" are
not allowed to enter booth unless
they can prove a Jail or penitentiary
record.
Mayor Corwine of Greater Topeka
was a witness. He claimed he was
entitled to vote three times, under the
law and he voted twice for Ander-
son Perrys opponent. and once for
Perry. Jess Willard, former heavy
weight champion, was caught on the
street and dragged in as a witness he
confessed voting six times but could
not remember whom he voted for.
Dick Hodgins was sworn in as wit
ness and then disqualified because of
a Smoky Row law that provides no
one is allowed to testify if he is sober.
The prosecution was represented by
Ed Rooney and the defense by Arch
McKeever. Judge MacFarland had
difficult time maintaining order dur
ing the trial. Mayor Perry attempted
Ito rout the trial with some of his vot-
ers but he was met with overpower-
ing resistance.
Another election will be held soon
Perry paid a heavy fine following MS
custer from office.

Livestock shipments in Kansas

years old Three years later he attend
ed the short course in agriculture at
the state college of agriculture. and
during the same year he bought his
first Guernsey cattle. Since that time
his cattle have been shown at state
