Topeka Adopts Stricter Beer Regulations Doubles Fees
The Topeka city commission approved amendments to the beer ordinance, doubling license fees and barring beer sales to those under 18 unless with a parent or guardian. Prohibitions cover public consumption after midnight, with police filing complaints for misconduct and no fee refunds if licenses are revoked. Fees rise to 200 dollars for wholesalers and 50 for retailers. Four to one vote. Lloyd B. Smith opposed, arguing the rules are unenforceable and will harm small dealers. The push followed allegations a beer parlor allowed underage drinking and late mingling.

Hope spud prices will remain high in Kaw Valley
Potato growers in Kaw Valley face questions on rainfall and whether high prices will persist until July harvest. Merchants report prices the highest since World War II with new crop sales around four pounds for 25 cents and Wholesalers at $4 per hundred. Rainfall is seen as the key to a good crop, with forecasts noting moisture needs across Lawrence and surrounding districts. Harvest may begin late May with most of the crop to market in July, while growers fear premature digging could hurt quality and prices.
