ARMY FLlERS MUST WORK
Can't Enter Air Journeys, Says weeks
Must Help Fight Fires.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Secretary
Weeks has reaffirmed his decision not
to permit army airplanes to partici-
pate in exhibition competitions, bas-
ing his objections on lack Of person
mel, material and general uselessness
from a military standpoint of testing
the speed Of aircraft by racing.
The decision is accepted as the final
word on the question whether army
planes should enter the Pulitzer at
Omaha late this month. The many
requests for flights by army air serv-
ice planes received recently from or
CARNATIONS thruout the south have
been rejected by the war department
for reasons of economy and shortage
of material.
The secretary said this policy would
be continued at least until next year
and that he had been compelled to ap-
ply it to appeals from the agricultural
department for use of planes in fire
patrol work thru the national forests
and reservations of the west.

Every citizen of Kansas and of the
nation should know that the first blow
for free Kansas was struck at a great
convention of pioneers on September
5, 1855, held at Big Springs. 1t was
the first free state convention ever
held in the territory. Determined
pioneers gathered there from all sec
lions of eastern Kansas. They came
in wagons drawn by oxen, on horse
back and on foot. They declared by
resolutions that they would give up
their lives, if need be, in defending
their homes against the bands of Dor
der ruffians from Missouri and other
states. That convention nominated
former Governor Reeder for delegate
to congress. 1t was the beginning of

Topeka HICKS u, ATCHISON I
Locals Play Some Fast Football in
Game Here Friday.

Smashing tackle, running fast end
runs, and fighting steadily, Coach ].
E. R. Barnes's Topeka high school
football men were able to administer
IA to z defeat to Atchison high
school in a holly contested game on
Washburn field Friday afternoon.
Grassy" Bruce. Topeka quarter
back and captain, made the first
touchdown for the local players, The
counter came in the early minutes of
the second quarter, and was made on
straight football. Early in the third
quarter the second Topeka tally was
recorded. Bruce and Wilson, full
back, lugged the ball steadily down
the field. Both goals were kicked.
With the score IA to O against
them, the Atchison men stiffened per-
ceptibly and began hard fight for a
win or q tie. A combination OF line
smashing and forward passing enabled
the visitors to carry the ball to To-
peka's fifteen yard line. A brilliant
end run by Wheeler, Atchison full
back, carried the ball the remainder
of the distance.
With two victories to their credit,
one against Leavenworth, the other
Atchison, the Topeka boys should go
well thruout the balance of the season.
