The Chamber of Commerce might
do much for the convenience of the
travelling public If it could induce the
railroads entering Topeka to join in
an arrangement with a baggage trans
fer company by which said company
could check the travellers trunk to its
destination. The management of one
local transfer company says that he
has tried for years to bring into effect
such a plan. Perhaps the Chamber
of Commerce could help. This
method is followed in a number of
up and coming cities and seems to
work satisfactorily to all concerned.
When the transfer man calls for a
trunk he issues a railroad baggage
check TO destination and the traveller
gives the matter no further thought
He is not compelled to rush around
and find the baggage master at the
station or incur the chance that his
trunk will not be put on the same
train with himself. He always finds
his baggage at the end of his journey.

No one can blame the farmers for
holding their products for a price that
will cover the cost of production and
a fair return on investment. Neither
can any one blame purchasers for
buying Canadian wheat if they can
buy it cheaper. Buyers always look
for low prices and sellers for high
prices. There is little charity in bust

Judge Henry F. Mason related a
yarn at the meeting of the Kansas
Peace Officers association Wednesday
afternoon that brought a real laugh.
A certain lawyer. he said, who
wanted to get into heaven, tossed his
hat over the fence and then asked ST.
Peter If ne might come inside and get
it. st. Peter granted the request, but
the lawyer, once inside. failed to come
out again. st. Peter looked him up.
You'll have to take your hat and
beat it. now said that gate keeper
severely.
Nothing doing" replied the attorney
THE only way you can get me out of
here is by due process of law You'll
have to have the writ served upon me
by sheriff or his deputy"
So st. Peter had the writ made out
in legal form. But the LAWYER is still
inside. No sheriff or deputy could be
found.

Lloyd George to Confer With

London Times
RECOGNITION is HlNTE D

London, May 2S.--Premier Lloyd
George will meet Gregory krassin, Kus, 4,
sinn Bolshevik minister of trade and
commerce., this week, says the Times
which also mentions rumor 'circu-
lated through channels notoriously IN
touch with the premier's encourage
that both the subject of negotiations
and the persons engaged in them would
be more widely extended than at present
acknowledged. 1t is said that Earl
Curzon of Kcdleston. secretary of state
for foreign affairs, will, in addition to
Mr.. Lloyd George, confer with VI.
krassin.
M. Krassin will propose. among other
things. says the newspaper, to put IN
sots Of Russian gold. stamped with the
seal Of the old Russian Government. on
the English market. and il is believed
the main object of his visit here y to
obtain a general license to send such
gold TO England and sell il here. The
Times adds:

possible to dissoCiate the two ideas or
trade relations and official recognition.
II is absurd to imagine thHt two COun =
tries can trade with each other and not
have diplomatic relations.
The newspaper. which is equally hos
tile. against the premier and the Bol-
sheviki, denounces the "pitiful and dis
honest pretcnse that negotiations are not
between the soviet and British Govern ;
ments" and ironically congratulates
Nikolai Lenine and Mr.. Lloyd George
upon the success with which they have
at last carried their point.

TUST the thing for the motor
trip or picnic is the Hawkeye
- refrigerator basket which !
saw at the store of J. Franklin
Miller, 1912 Ci.z=tsSut Street 1t is
reed basket, lined with tin, and
there are layers of metal wool be-
tween the reed and tin. There is
compartment to hold ice. The bas-
ket comes in three sizes. One is
high and narrow and specially made
to take up as little space as possible
in the machine. They call it the
tonneau basket. Think of the JOY
of having ice-cold fruits and salads
on a warm day, when you are pic
nicking on the other side of no
where! Then, too, you have your
ice for lemonade or iced tea right
in the basket. Altogether, it seems
a most practical device. Why not
try it out on Decoration Day?

ITALY FREES cAvALLINl
Deputy Accused Of Treason Like
Boio's Acquitted with 7 Others

Rome. May 2S.--(By A. P.)--Seven
persons accused with former deputy
Filippo Cavallini, Of communicating
intelligence to the enemy" during the
war, have been acquitted here. This
case has been going on for the last three
years and at times seemed to have Il
close relation with the prosecutions of
Bolo Pasha and Joseph Caillaux in
France.
Four former deputies were among
those placed on trial. 1t was found the
proof of guilt adduced by the govern
ment was not sufficient to justify con
viCticn.
The acquittal Of the former Italian
deputy Filippo Cavallini of the charge
of treason in Italy will make no diff
ference with his status in France. 1t
is declared here. lie is still under sen
tence Of death in this country, having
been condemned at the same time as
Bolo Pasha.

ESIRABLE for all kinds of

- Shirt, which ! saw recently at
the store Of Jacob Reeds Sons,
1424-26 Chestnut Street. 1t is made
either in plain, closely woven Oxford
cloth or in mercerized Oxford cloth
Of slightly heavier weight. The col
lar, which is Of a particularly in
teresting shape, has fairly long
points which button to the shirt. 1t
is both comfortable and smart look
ing. The shirt has a convenient
pocket on the left side with buttoned
flap. A feature which many men
will appreciate is the round cuff with
buttons sewed on. This enables
you to roll up your sleeves without
any thought of lost cuff links.
Many men like a shirt such as this
for everyday wear during the sum-
mss.

JUST A FEW FACTS

Wien a farmer ships car load OF
cattle, or ton Of hay, or any other
product away to the city market, the
money he received becomes a part of
the wealth of this community.
It Is upon the income from the pro-
duats that we ship away that we de-
pend for the prosperity of our home
people. 49,.
That fact is plain to every thinking
Every article we consume or use must
como from some source. If it Is pro-
duoed at home, the money we pay for it
all Iemains in circulation at home. But
if it is not Produced here, we must buy
elsewhere.
That, also, is fact well known to all
people.
A retail merchant can buy the article
We want from the manufacturer OF
wholesaler for considerably less than
we would have to pay if we ordered
direct from the factory. That is the
discount made by manufacturers to all
dealers.
That is still another fact which re-
quires no extraordinary amount OF
brains to understand.
II we send away ourselves for what
We want ell Of the money paid for the
article goes out Of the community and
helps to enrich some person in some
other community.
If we buy from local dealer, the
Wholesale prices only is sent away, the
dealers profit remaining in circulation
a. part Of the wealth Of our own com
munity.
That is the most vital fact of all, and
yet it is one which many excellent cit
liens seemingly fail to comprehend.
A home trading community is invar
iably prosperous:
A foreign trading one is more often
depressed.
In either case, it is as we make it.
