E0R A COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.
zLsremsnt On Foos 70 Establish one for
Sherman Comfy Special Act Of Leg

Sherman County Special Act Of Leg
tslsture Neesssa-v for Its Creation.
A meeting OF Interested citizens OF
Goodland and Sherman county was
held in the Office Of Hoyt Andrews last
Monday evening for the purpose OF
discussing the subject OF a county
high school for Sherman county.
The sentiment Of the meeting seem
ed to be favorable for such a school,
snd action vas taken to secure signers
TO a petition Of the majority Of the
taxpayers Of the county, to be given to
Representative F. II. Smith before he
leaves to attend the meeting Of the
state legislature.
It viii require q special act Of the
legislature, aud il is thought to be
proper to make q showing that a ma
jority Of the taxpayers Of the county
are in favor Of it. It is also understood
that Dr.. Smith wishes this expression
Of the citizens Of the town and county
as an authorization to him, to work for
the passage Of the act establishing
such a school.
The proposition in substance is for
the county to vote a tax to pay the
salary Of the principal and one assist
ant, the city Of Goodland to furnish
the building, heating, etc, and teach
ers' salaries with exception Of the prin-
eipal and one assistant.
The advantage claimed is that grad
mates from the county schools, passing
q proper examination, are admitted to
the high school The high school work
viii embrace a normal course; a gen
academic course and a college prepare
tory course. Graduates Of the high
school will receive a diploma which
viii admit them to the state normal
school, the state university and to
other colleges in the state Sherman
county scholars would not have to go
away to secure a thorough and prac-
teal education up to the limit and
within the scope of high school train
ing Anyone can thus appreciate the
advantages Of such educational oppOr-
tunities as a county. high school would
afford.
It is for the taxpayers to say whether
they want the high school or not. It is
estimated that it would increase the
tax levy about two mills on the dollar
Three years ago Thomas county Sc
cured such an act and now has a we'll
established and successful high school

VOL, of BAD Rors.

Saturday afternoon some one broke
out a large number Of glass in the city
school building. It is estimated that
it will take so to repair the damage
done by this act of vandalism. 1t is
thought it was the work of boys with
'nigger shooters and this is not the
first time glass has been broken in the
school building By young -tOughs in
the same manner.
If it can be proven who did the
damage the parties will be arrested
The punishment for destroying prop

ALFALFA CURE FOR LEANNESS
Prediction Made That the Lean Girl of
the Future VIII Make Diet Of
Alfalfa Bon BOns.

If you see the lean 10Th century girl
slyly lift something from her vest
pocket and shoot it into her mouth
you may be sure it is an alfalfa tablet.
The matinee girl will also be seen nun
ching alfalfa bon bons. Scrawny and
attenuated humanity will throw ccd
liver oil out the back window and
drink fluid extract of alfalfa seeds.
1t all came about through the discov-
cry made by modest country doctor
in Kansas, the state that has cOntri-
buted so much to the science of fat
tening live stock, says the Chicago
Times-ReraId. Dr.. ShuItz, who acct
dentalIy discovered the fat-making
potency Of alfalfa, was formerly fish
commissioner Of Kansas, and while in
that Office he received some interest
ing reports from foreign countries on
fish culture and kindred subjects. In
one Of these reports be read of seed
discovered in Asia Minor which had
been successfully utilized by the sultan
Of Turkey when plumpness was the
vogue in the Turkish harem. Living
in a state famed for its fat stock exhi-
bits, DR.. Shultz' curiosity was aroused
and be sent for some Of the seed Of
the Asiatic plant, and learned that it
was nothing more than the seed Of
alfalfa grass.
But the Kansas scientist did not stop
with this discovery. He reasoned that
if alfalfa could ill Turkish harem
with joyous rotundity it would be utiI-
lied to ill up the lean places Of mod
ern femininity with health adipose.
He knew that the lank end -wiIlowy
10Th century girl would not look well
going around chewing alfalfa grass.
Neither would she fancy alfalfa por-
ridge for a steady diet. Accordingly
he finally succeeded in making a pals
table extract Of alfalfa seeds, as pleas
ant to the taste as syrup Of sqoills.
He began trying this extract on the
population Of Wichita several weeks
ago. He himself took three table
spoonfulls Of the extract every day,
The results are astonishing. The first
effect vas 3 sudden influx Of taiIors to
supply the demand for new clothes.
In the course Of two weeks time per
sons who had received sample bottles
Of the extract we're unable to get into
their clothes. A brisk demand for
heavy furniture is also noted
There is no telling where the alfalfa
craze viii end if it once breaks out OF
Kansas, for the 10Th century girl is
certainly going to be a plump girl In
stead OF the "GibsOn girl" We shall
soon hear Of the "aIfaIfa girl" And
the beauty Of it is, the Kansas scientist
refuses to patent his elixir Of alfalfa
he offers it to lean and angular hu-
manity free and without price.
