 Washington, May 6,--Reports from score of major industries and more than 100 industrial centers through out the county. received here by government and other agencies. dis close the first week in May as the most prosperous period the United States has enjoyed for 20 months.
 There are three outstanding excep- tions to the return of industrial ac- tivity. however and in each case the trouble is attributed to labor diff culties These exceptions are the coal industry at present in labor deadlock; the textile industry, where the lingering strike still persists. and the railroads which are so affected by the coal situation as to show ma terial curtailment in traffic. In the latter case. however, loadings are greater than they were last year. Sharp price advances in a dozen or more commodities and threat of ap- preaching labor shortage accentuate the rapid return of prosperity. The cost of living is going up, govern ment figures show, as normal indus trial conditions are approached. The rise has occurred in iron, steel. lum Der. coal lead. zinc. copper. silk. gaso- line, brick, cotton. wheat, tobacco, wool. corn, oats and live stock Of all the major commodities entering into our industrial life today only two-che emicals and crude oil--re- main listless in price.
 Labor Shortage Possible
 Labor seems about to emerge from a period of unemployment to a day of shortage. Here, for instance, is the substance of what the unemploy- ment bureau of the department of la bor reports today from the industrial and farming state of New Jersey.
 In Newark, shortage of facory employees, an acute shortage of farm labor and a strong demand for car penters and painters. in Jersey City, a general shortage of unskilled la bor; in Trenton statewide shortage threatening most serious results of farm labor; in Paterson, silk mills running short-handed; in Perth Amboy. threatened shortage of common labor: in Passaic, a shortage in the building trades ;and in Cam den, a growing demand for farm la- bor which it seems impossible to satisfy.
 Of all industrial activities the building trades are busiest. In New York there is an acute shortage of building brick. In the south, lumber mills have taken orders during the past two weeks for 50 per cent more than capacity and many mills have withdrawn entirely from the market Wages in some of the big cities have been advanced by the "snowballing" process and skilled mechanics in yir-

 Adding to Ranks Following Defeat Of NeW in Indiana
Republicans of Old School Re- gard Direct Primary as a Heritage From Progressive Movement and Resent It Accordingly

 Washington, May 6.-The defeat of Senator Harry s. New in Indiana has kindled anew the fires of op- position to the direct primary sys- tenn among those stalwarts of the republican party who believe that party government is best conserved by party discipline. The primary, it is admitted, does not make for party discipline. If Albert !. Beveridge wins at the polls next November he will come to Washington unbeholden to the national party leader. To all intents and purposes he will be a free lance" and there is no doubt that he will align himself with the group of senators who turn deaf ears to purely party appeals.
 In old line party ranks there IS growing revolt against the primary

I the founding of the church by the
| Rev. Mr.. Barratt in 1869. The first
services OF this church organization
were held in the old Indian creek
school house, five miles north of town.
The church had thirteen charter
| members among them being Mr.. and
Mrs Dan Scott, Mr.. and Mrs. A. C.
Beckwith, Mr.. and Mrs. Obidiah
Joshua Barratt. The congregation out
growing the school house, a one-story
flat top church was built at the cor
ner of North Harrison and Laurent
was finished N 1871. Several years
later a second story was added. This
was the original North Topeka Bap-
tist church in which services were
vember 12, 1922. When this church
was dedicated the Rev. F. M Ellis
of Lawrence preached the sermon and
addressed the Sunday school.
Mr.. Barratt served ten years as pas
tor, receiving no salary. He was
known as the marrying parson," as
it was said he had officiated at the
marriages of more couples than any
other minister in Topeka. Mr.. Bar
ratt died in North Topeka about six
years ago.
Mr.. Barratt was succeeded by the
Rev. Mr.. Gregory, who in turn was
followed in 1885 by the Rev: E. $.
following Mr.. Riley, was pastor for
ten or twelve years. Other pastors
were: the Rev. A. F. Houser. the Rev.
Walter Tanner, the Rev. Mr.. Peter
son, the Rev. w. I. Cole, the late Rev.
w. G. Handley and the retiring pas
tor, the Rev. o. L. Weir.
The choir of the North Topeka
Baptist church is known as one of
the best in the city. Its excellence is
due to the untiring efforts of VIM. NJ.
Van Ness, choir master. Mr.. Van
Ness took charge of the choir in 1888.
For five ) AIS or until 1888 he led
a mixed choir. That year he organ
lied the first male choir in the city.
This was disbanded some years later
and a mixed choir organized. Mr.,
Van Ness was the first director to in
troduce organs piano and violin ac-
compartment. Two of the singers in
when it was first organized. They
are the leader, Mr.. Van Ness, and
L. P. Fraser. Mrs. (Lizzie Whitney,
Nicholson, wife of c. C. Nicholson.
920 Lane street, a former resident of
North Topeka, served as organist for
thirty-three consecutive years.
The only church bell in North To-
peka is that of the old North To-
peka Baptist church, and with the
passing of the old church building as
a. place of divine worship, North To-
peka will be in the unusual position
of Christian community of more
than 5000 souls, where the sound
of the church going bell is Sunheard
and where the Sabbath stiffness is un-
broken by the peals of bells calling
people to worship.
The style of the new church build
ing admits of no belfry or bell tower,
and asa majority of the church mem
bers were averse to the use of a bell,
the bell hangs discarded, in the beIfry
of the old stone church.

This dedication day at the North
Topeka Baptist church will not be a
day entirely free from sadness. The
recent resignation of the pastor, the
Rev. o. L. Weir, is cause of sorrow,
not only among his church people,
but among the people of the COM

were made and the building of the
new church as begun.
