Frank Samuels, state adjutant of the
American Legion, has suggested to the
entertainment committee of the con-

prove at attractive feature of the con-

who wouldn't otherwise have time or
money or something to attend the
meet, to go, be there ana to stay for
the entire period of the convention.
There are a large number of enthu-
siastic performers on the links on the
rolls of the legion in Kansas. Some OF
the star players in both the Topeka
clubs are members of the legion and
take heartfelt interest in the game.

SOY BEAN TO THE FRONT
Now a Major Crop for Forage, Pas
ture and Ensilage-

Washington, Aug. 15.-The soy bean
is rapidly taking a place as a major
crop in the farming systems of the
corn belt, replacing oats to a consid-
cradle extent and taking part of the
corn acreage, says the department of
agriculture AlthO primarily used for
forage, pasture and ensilage, the grow
ing of seed during the last few years
has become a very profitable Indus
try. The production of seed has now
increased TO the point where the sup
ply greatly exceeds the demand for
planting.
County soy bean associations, grow
ers, county agents and extension Off
ciafs, notably in Illinois and Indiana,
have concerned themselves in the de-
Velopment OF commercial outlet for
the seeds. it is noted. Several mills
in those states have become interested
in the possibilities of that bean as a
source of oil and meal. Two mills
in Illinois have planned to use about
10000 bushels this season, it has been
reported to the department, while
other mills are planning on smaller
scale.
The department inspectors have
found considerable acreage put to
growing the soy bean in the northern
ana corn belt states, showing a con-
siderable increase. The possibilities of
using the bean for oil and meal are
ascribed by officials as the reason for
the increase. Such a commercial out
let affords the grower another cash
crop as corn and wheat, it is said.
The various ways in which the soy
bean and its product are utilized in
the United States indicate a ready
market for the commercial production
of soy bean seed. the department cir
cular declares Soy bean oil is largely
used in the manufacture of soaps and
paints, and it is also used in the manu-
facture OF lard and butter substitutes,
rubber substitutes. linoleum and print
ins ink, and as salad OIL The cake or
meal is a superior cattle feed and of
high value for human consumption. b.

CaIexico, Cal, Aug. 15.-The gov
eminent proved the wisdom OF Poor
Lo'' in naming liquor fire water
some centuries ago. One hundred
gallons OF liquor confiscated by fed
eral customs officers was ordered
emptted into the gutter in the usual
way yesterday. The thermometer
registered 120 in the shade, and when
the liquor spattered on the pavement
it burst into flames from the heat of
the sun
The offfcers moved to another loca-
ton and started pouring some into the
gutter. Again it burst Into flames,
and the flames flashed up the stream
of liquor and exploded one of the
tanks. The officers then poured the
fire water direct into the sewer.
Dozens of spectators saw the first
water fire.

SHOWS CAMPAIGN BLOCKED
Striking Shopmen Did Not Have
Time to Read His Platform.

Sheriff Robert Miller this morning
put a dent in the perennial campaign
OF George B. Snow, perpetual candi-
date for the governorship of Kansas.
At the entrance to the court house
were gathered number of striking
shopmen who had been attending and
were discussing the trial of several
strikers charged with disturbing the
peace. Among them were Al Norris
chairman of the machinists' union on
the Santa Fe, and G. ]. Bollotte,
chairman of the Blacksmiths' union
Snow caught sight of the two union
officials and rushed up to them with
crumpled typewriter sheet of
paper which presumably was his cam
paign platform.
Now, then" he exclaimed, there's
something that will interest you men.
It's right in line with your troubles.
This expresses my"
And just then Sheriff Miller came
to the door and asked the party to
cease to blockade the entrance. As
they went down the steps Shows au-
dience melted, and he was left to read
his platform to himself.
