FINISH IN NORTH Topeka
First District to Complete Work in
Child Welfare Survey.

First District to Complete Work in
Child Welfare Survey.
North Topeka is one of the first dis
tricts to report the child welfare sur
vey complete. Forty-five workers in
that section, organized thoroly last
week, began work Monday and had
practically completed the survey last
night.
In spite of the fact that home own
ers have been flooded twice and have
been forced to re-establish their home
twice, North Topeka will have an ex-
cellent report to make when the sur
vey results are published. according
to Mrs. c. M. Morrow, head of the
North Topeka survey. After having
many handicaps, the homes in North
Topeka and the conditions in that part
of the city for growing children are
of high standard.
North Topeka was anxious to do
it's part in the survey" Mrs. Morrow
said 1--WE had no rebuffs whatever in
canvassing.1 SIS
.. Even Little Russia with its for
eign population and crowded homes
which the survey workers had feared
would be a difficult problem. has been
covered easily by canvassers. With
the aid of Charles Gerteisen, the. bene-
factor of Little Russia" for many
years as interpreter, the canvassers
were welcomed.
MANY persons live in small places
in Little Russia but for the most part
the places are Immediately clean and
the people are satisfied there" Mrs.
Morrow said, land it was interesting
to learn that nearly all OF them have
money in the bank.
A satisfied. even happy condition of
citizens is also reported from the
Bottoms" canvassed personally by
DR.. Sara Greenfield-S Stephenson.
From what I learned the people Of
that district are better satisfied than
they have ever been before" DR..
Greenfield Stephenson said. They
, say they have more than they have
| ever had before, are able to keep
their children in school, have necea-
sites of life and even have been able
to paint and paper their homes this
fall"

Ross said the men working under the

had not been finally refused. Ross de-

that "vacationists" might be suspended

Morning Grain Gossip.

FURNISHED by B. c. Christopher q Coz
Chicago, Oct Tribune: The advance
In grains was not unexpected. Many close
observers had said the markets had the
appearance of being well liquidated on the
long side and oyerso1d by the local pit
element. 1t was said that while one big
New York short covered a large line OF
wheat and corn put out at much higher
prices, his place in wheat was taken by
another and by hedgers in the Northwest
and in Winnipeg. Traders in the latter
market were on both sides OF wheat here
at various times.
The grain trade express little fear over
the proposed embargo import of Can
adam wheat. While the President has
the power to act under the wartime auth
ority vested him by congress, there is said
to be nothing in the Underwood tariff act
of 1913 that permits an import duty to be
collected on Canadian wheat and flour,
innsrRuch as that country does not impose
a duty on wheat or Its products from the
United States.
Wheat fluctuations covered range of
fifteen cents for the day. Business has
increased so fast traders have petitioned
for a return to the old wheat pit, which
was left in May, 1917, when business in
futures practically ceased.
IL Is said country shippers who have
grain bought with loss may sell on any
bulge from now on. As to the farmers,
they are dissatisfied with prices and have
shut off.

Friday, August the Eth, was MT. Dan Burgin Hickman's birthday and his friends and kin, numbering two hundred, who came from far and near, for Tus caloosa, Bibb and Jefferson counties were enthusiastically represented, at wonderful 'spend-the-day party at Aycndale park. Uncle Dan." as he is ahectionately called by them, has reach
 ed his eighty-fourth birthday, and has spent his time happily and they gave him this birthday party with heart of good things and a great deal of love. The spirit of the occasion made a won- derful impression of these frendships of long ago. Many had grown old with him, and get the young ones gathered around and made a beautiful setting for the splendid sentiment which lives today. Long before the hour" for din- ner natures beautiful park at Avondale was buzzing with stories of "a long time ago." and the glad howdys' which seemed only to belong to them, old men met who had been school boys together. and the girls ot the thirties were seen with their locks of gray, but with mem ory full of a happy youth and a con- tented old age. They chatted and told jokes of childhood days and how Dan

 wish him, on this occasion, to spend a
 much longer time among them.
 Gathered with his friends, were his children, grand children and remaining
 brothers and sisters, with bowed heads, Rev. J. A Britain blessed the occa sion,
 and was followed by MT. Joe Halls, Rev. Persinger and Mir Felix Mclaughlin, who, each in turn spoke of his influ- ence among them and their appreciation of the man. While they spoke of the man, they kept eye on dinner, for 'it was truly a feast of good things, and the birthday cake followed bearing eighty-four candles. Then came the ice cold watermelons-for a picnic dinner in the south would not be typical without a slice of watermelon. This informality made the whole day a pleasure, and as friends olasped hands they each re- called something of mutual interest
