Baseball offers a big field for the
college athlete. Every small town in
the United States has its representa-
tive team. The rivalry that exists
between some of the neighboring
small towns is mighty keen. In many
cases the promoters have no thought
of expense. Victory is the big thing.

BUGS LIKE TOBACCO
Chinch Bugs Causing Farmers
Near Topeka Much Discomfort
Must Wrap Chewing Tobacco
in Four Layers OF Cloth.

While the hot dry weather has been
playing havoc with the corn south of
Topeka, it hasn't been the only thorn
in the flesh of the farmer. An agri-
cultural visitor from thirty-odd miles
south of the city says that the chinch
bugs are doing as much damage to
the crops as the hot weather has done,
and have caused the farmers more
discomfort than the heat.
Its got SO you have to wrap up
your chewing tobacco in three or four
layers of cloth, or keep it. in an air
tight pouch. when you go out to shock
corn" he said.
"Chinch bugs sure do love tobacco
They get all thru your clothes and
they sort Of center on your plug OF
chewing. If you don't watch out
you'll gobbIe a million of them when
you bite off a hunk, and migosh they
do give it a heck of a juicy flavor. The
boys are nightly pestered with the

Received by Radio.

Topeka employees of the Rock Is
land and the public generally, are to
have an opportunity to hear the ad-
dress of President J. E. German of the
Rock Island on the evening of Oc-
tober 10. That the speech is to be
delivered at banquet in Chicago at
the celebration of the SEVENTEEN ami
versary of the roads passenger train
operation, will make no difference.
Arrangements are being made by
the Rock Island club in Topeka, made
up of the local employees, to have a
radio set installed at the Chamber OF
Commerce, on which the address of
the Rock Island head will be received.
The speech is to be broadcasted from
the Westinghouse broadcasting station
in Chicago.
The local organization of Rock Is
land employees will meet at the Cham
Der of Commerce on the evening of the
celebration, October 10, and the radio
rendition of the Chicago program will
constitute one of the most interesting
features of the program. The public
will be invited to attend and hear the
addresses
The remainder of the program for
the evening has not yet been definitely
completed. H. r. Halleck, president
of the Topeka Rock Island club, said
today.

FARM BUREAUS TO HELP
Many Home Demonstration Exhibits
Planned for Kansas Free Fair. /

Home demonstration exhibits for
the Kansas Free Fair have been pre-
pared by three county farm bureaus.
The Shawnee county exhibit will show
the undermining of an old-fashioned
farm kitchen. One model shows the
old 16-foot square kitchen as it was
originally. with no plumbing or other
modern conveniences. Another model
will show the kitchen after it has been
divided into screened-in porch, bath
room and kitchen, with cupboards
and sink along one side, and a fuel
box and refrigerator which can be
filled from the porch on the other.
This exhibit is being prepared by Mrs.
Julia Kiene and w. G. Ward, extern
sion architect at the agricultural col
lege.
The Pratt county exhibit will be a
miniature fashion show, consisting of
a revolving wheel on which will be
doll models wearing replicas of dresses
made by community club women in the
dressmaking classes of the county.
The models will appear one by one
and will revolve upon a pivot, much
the same way as the manikins in fash
ion shows.
! The Wyandotte cotinty exhibit will
show four health stores and what
should be purchased in each. f

ton agent of Shawnee. is superintend-
emit of this department. NHf

new CITIZENSHIP TEST
w. Y. Morgan Tells of Industrial Dis
turbances and Strikes.

This is a test period for citizenship,
according to w. Y. Morgan, Republi-
can nominee for governor, who told
Granville picnic crowd of 1000 that
Americanism was to have a new test.
The gubernatorial nominee referred
to industrial disturbances and strikes
and the new display of disrespect for
law and the constitution.
when 1 saw our boys overseas just
out of the Argonne forest, 1 believed
that this country would never stand
for anotf er war. But if You and 1
and every good citizen don't insist
upon not having war, we may have a
worse civil war in this country. You
and 1 can't settle our personal dis
putes by resorting to arms. The law
won't let US. 1 thoroly believe that
fifty years from now our children will
wonder how it was possible for our
country to even consider present
methods of fighting over industrial
disputes"

the executive must have the support

must have the support of home peo-

spirit behind law enforcement

ENROLMENT INCREASES
More Students Attend Grade and
High Schools This Year.

A much larger increase in the en-
rollment of the Topeka public schools
is now indicated by figures issued by
Superintendent Stout. An increase of
approximately 800 was reported Tues
day, the opening day, and large gains
are expected every day this week.
The congestion of the schools now
hinges on the increase in enrolment
the remainder of the week. The only
school room in the city not occupied
at the present time is located in the
old Douglas school building, located
on the Lowman Hill school grounds.
1t may be necessary to use this, says
Superintendent Stout.
The total attendance in the grade
schools Tuesday was 6,416 as COM
pared with 6,120 last year. The high
school enrolment increased from
1850 to 1,400.
The largest enrolment was reported
at Lincoln Junior high school. Five
hundred and eighty-six children were
in attendance. Quincy was second
with 567 and Central Park with 554-
A comparison of the enrolment in
the schools this year and last year
follows:

TO EHl ARGE P. 0. BUILDING
Nfezzanine Floor VIII Be Constructed
in North Wing. if5a

A mezzanine floor in the north wing
of the postoffice building, to relieve
the present congestion, probablyzwil
be constructed soon.
W. NJ. Collier. representing the SUI
pervising architects office in WASH
ington. will recommend this addition
upon his return there after a special
trip to Topeka to check over measure
ments and to determine its need. The
fact that a departmental head was
sent to Topeka indicates that the I'm
provement is almost a certainty inthe
belief of W. o. Rigby. postmaster, who
has been stressing the need for larger
quarters for some time.
The floor will provide $3.50 square
feet of additional space and will be
used for a carriers room. This ewin
create additional space for distribu-
ton on dispatch on the first floor now
occupied by the carriers. 80

HOOPER IN UNIQUE ROLE.
Character Part in II Ranch" To BE
Played at Orpheum.

For the first time in the life of the
"Rube" Hooper company they are go
ing to play a western bill. A different
kind of a western bill from any that
has ever been seen in Topeka. A bill
that is free from all melodrama, just
farce comedy all the way thru. The
bill was arranged for the express pur-
pose of making the audience laugh.
The " Ranch which will be pre-
scented by the Hooper company at the
Orpheum the last half of this week.
brings out the players in a way that
no other bill has done.
"Rube' Hooper as an ex-college
professor who has been in the west
so long that he has become quite a
cowboy, in fact, rather a fixture
around the ranch, and with his flow
of grand and eloquent language, a
hang over of his college days, mixed
with the uncouth jargon of the cow
boys of the ranch, he presents COM
edy figure that is only equalled by
Frank Bacons 'Lightnin'."
Miss Grace Connolly, the auburn
haired character lady and Coincidence,
appears in one of her favorite roles.
that of ar old maid. 1t is her first
appearance in Topeka in this kind of
a role and the audiences are in for
a surprise.
Miss Helen Huntington plays the
part of the owner of the ranch, who
is being tricked out of her belongings
by undetermined means.
A new member of the cast, Billie
Maxwell. is one of the cowboys of the
ranch, and tMargie Lois, another new
member, is a cowgirl.
Harvey Gatchett.- the leading man.
is the foreman of the ranch, and
knowing him as Topeka does, you can
well known that the ranch will be run
right
~ Last but not least. Joe Lee in the
role of a native Mexican. AS a de-
Iineator of character he excels in this
role.

URGE HIGH FARM RATES
Congressman Strong and Others Want
Senate Schedule in Tariff.

Senate Schedule in Tariff.
Washington Sept. 6.-Several Kan
sans sat in a meeting of the farm bloc
of the house and senate today called
to insist that the senate rates on farm
products be accepted by the tariff
conference committee. The senate
rates, on the whole, are higher than
those carried in the house bill.
It was decided to circulate a petit
ton among the house membership
asking that the senate rates be ac-
cepted on wool cotton, sugar, grain,
produce and vegetable oils. Repre-
sentative James Strong of Kansas,
along with four other members from
farm states, was named on the COM
mittee to obtain as many signatures
as possible to indicate to the conferees
that farm sentiment demanded ac-
ceptance of the higher rates.

TURING June, 1922, 271 thou
sand automobiles and trucks
were produced as against 1870
thousand cars in June, 1921, and ESQ
thousand cars in May, 1922. This is
a new high record.
The estimated increase for 1922 in
automobile registration for the 10 states
served by the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) is 100000, making prob
able registration for this territory of
3,850,OOO automobiles and trucks
besides a largely increased number of
tractors. =
This means that the already enor-
nous demand for petroleum products
will be materially increased. To meet
this demand requires unremitting effort
on the part of the Standard Oil Com
pany (Indiana).
When you look down the street and
see the curb lined with automobiles,
parked SO closely that you have diff
Guilty in finding space for your car,
multiply what you see by hundreds of
streets in hundreds of towns all over
the Middle West and you will have
a faint conception of the problem con-
fronting the petroleum industry.
Next consider that the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) is performing
without hitch large part of the job
OF supplying this multitude of ma
chimes with fuel. This is made possible
by superb organization and by keen APP
probation of human values in business.
The same spirit of progressiveness
which is applied to refining methods,
machinery, stills, storage depots, and
to distributing units is also applied to
the personnel of 2o thousand men and
women all interested in carrying out
the Company's policy of serving the
public well.
