PHONE HYPHEN MEANS NOTHING
Is Used I'm New Telephone Directory
as Matter of Convenience.

Many inquiries are being received
by the Southwestern Bell Telephone
company from Topeka telephone users
relative to the significance of the dash
or hyphen in five digit telephone num-
hers.
A. J. Mackey, district manager, to-
day stated that the hyphen was used
simply to make it more easy for sub
scribers to remesnber numbers having
five figures.
I'VE felt that Separating the first
two figures of five digit numbers" g"
said Maekey, such numbers could be
retained more easily i'll ones memory.
That is the sole reason the hyphen was
used. Experience has taught us that
such a division proves very satisfac
tory and helpful to subscribers, and
will like the arrangement. With the
exception of private branch ex-
changes and rural stations, there are
no special designations OF any KIND IN
the directory to distinguish the differ
enC classes of service"

cases reported the total being six.
Two cases of whooping cough were
reported, one of measles and one OF
tuberculosis. One new case of scarlet
fever was reported this morning.
There is a matrimonial epidemic
among the school teachers of Topeka,
according to A J. Stout, superintend-
lent of city schools. The most recent
case is reported by Miss Charlotte
Wheeler, a teacher at the Quincy
Junior high school, who was married
last Wednesday. She has been re-
placed by Mrs. Ella Parker, of Olathe,
Ogden, Utah. Reports received so
far at the public school office show
that only one more teacher will en-
bark on a matrimonial adventure be-
fore the next school term Other re-
ports may come in at any time, tho"
Superintendent Stout said.
:. r. b. Cochran, of Hutchinson, a
veteran of the telephone game in Kan
sas, has retired at the age of fifty
years on life pension from the Bell
Telephone company. He entered the
telephone business at Caldwell in 1884
and for the past twenty years has been
manager of the Hutchinson district.
His son, Harry b. Cochran is with the
Southwestern Bell Telephone company
in its Topeka offices. Cochran was
the guest of honor at a dinner of the
telephone men in Topeka last week,
which was presided over by Carl Ulf-
fers, general manager of the South
western Bell telephone company. His
fellow empoyes presented him with a
handsome goldl ring.
Patrons of the National Hotel carry
away 1900 keys to its rooms every
year, according to James f. Mosby,
manager. The management carries a
stock of five keys for each room.
Some of the patrons who walk away
with their keys put three cents in
stamps on them and return them by
mail, some of them do them up and
send them parcel post, and others
don't return them at all. The hotels
of the company maintain an exchange
for the return of each others keys,
and many of them come back to the
National in that way On one occa-
sion, key was returned to the hotel
after it had been thrown from a train
and recovered by "a track laborer.

FEW WANT TURKEY
Demand for Thanksgiving Birds
Is Light in Topeka.
Price Is High and Supply Lin
tied, Dealers Report.

With the price of turkey meat for
Thanksgiving soaring as hIgh or
higher than it scared last year. the
fact that the receipts of the live birds
in Topeka are very light. isn't making
much difference. because the demand
is going to be lighter this year than
it has been for many seasons past, ac-
cording to local dealers.
The turkeys, dressed, drawn, and
with head and feet removed, accord
ing to the Kansas law, will retaiIat
SIS or so cents per pound this year.
Last year the price was SIS cents per
pound on the average.
S, No Mad Rush for Turkeys.
The grand rush for turkeys-such
as, it iS-will not commence before
Tuesday, and most of the birds which
are sold will be delivered Wednesday.
but. the generals tone of the inquiries
has indicated clearly enough that
there won't be any mad rush for tur
rich mans dinner, and is recognized as
such. According to figures from the
United States department of agricul-
ture the production of turkeys in the
entire country is less than half what
it was n few years ago, and that is
undoubtedly the factor which is hold
ing the price of turkeys. up when the
price Of chickens, ducks, geese and
other poultry is materially lower than
it was last year.
The supply will be short, because
the growers of turkeys are not well
satisfied, even with the price which
is being paid at the present time. and
also because the bulk of the Kansas
turkey crop isn't ripe yet. The warm
fall weather has delayed the fattenins
of the big birds, who need cold
weather to. make them appreciate the
corn which puts the final touches on
thenl.- They haven't had-4the cold
weather this fall, and they are not
ready for market, in any great num-
berS.
Short tho the supply may be. it will
probably be adequate to meet the de-
mand for turkeys which will arise in
Topeka this week. Many growers are
notifying the dealers that they mean
to hold their birds until Christmas or
New Year, and to sell them then.
Tie 6telers believe the price will; be
lower rather than higher. on those
holidays, but that makes no difference
to the grower.
Big Demand for Ducks and Geese.
The demand for ducks and geese
for Thanksgiving is far greater than
it was last year, and mpletefy over
shadows the call for turkeys. Chick
ems today are quoted, retail, dressed,
at about 33 cents a pound; geese are
bringing the same figure, and ducks
30 cents per pound. The demand for
them is so heavy that the dealers are
having difficulty in dressing sufficient
quantities of them to meet the cali.

ARE The CHOSEN PEOPLE
The Rev. H. L. Nelson Tells of
Americas Greatness.

Americas outstanding financial and
industrial strength, taking first rank
among the nations of the world, is
sufficient to make any subsidy oy the
government for the upbuilding of a
merchant marine unnecessary. the
Rev. H. L. Nelson stated in a sermon
at the Potwin Presbyterian church.
The pastor touched upon America s
greatness in setting forth his oelief
that America now might weu be con-
s.dered the Lords chosen people, lie
stated that it is yet to be seen whether
as a Christian nation it realizes on its
opportunity and assumes tSsfespcnsi-
bility of carrying the light oI Chrls-
tianity to other peoples and uplifting
them, or whether, as did the jewish
people of old. utterly fail"
The problem of foreign missions IS
not confined to foreign Countries
said the Rev. Mr. Nelson. "The great
est opportunities exist right here at
home. In every city there arc colo
rfes of foreign peoples. Right in our
own city we have our Little Russia
and our Little Mexico"
The pastor questioned the purpose
of former Premier Clemenceau's pres
ent mission to the United States.
He appears TO have como to tell
The United States what France wants
her to do, not realizing that possibly
many things which -the Unilcd States
would insist upon, should she attempt
to intervene in Europe's querreis, are
not what France wants"
Confident that the United States
could and should exercise a strong in
fluence in the present European cri-
sis. the pastor, however, warned that
America should beware the role of
cats paw to rake any European
chestnuts out of the fire.
Americas influence is unquestioned
because she is the only one of the
great nations of the world taat is not
looked upon with suspicion by the
other nations" he said.
