Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 20.-With the
whole of last years team, excepting the
fullback and a tackle, coming back to
school this year the prospects for a
winning football team at the Univer-
sity of Kansas look unusually bright.
A number of promising men from last
years second team and some new play
ers with high school records will make
al excellent squad to draw from.
Coach Bert Kennedy will start work
the first of the month although school
does not begin until the 18th. This
early start is necessary on ccoun of
unusually early date of the Haskell
game which is to be played October 6,
during h Semi-Centennial celebration.
Kansas Will not play more h one
ell Indians will play their neighbors
only once. OF the line games on the
schedule only four will be played at

GRAssHoPPERs NOT so THICK.

Garden City. Kan-,A Aug. 10, 1903.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
In an article in your paper of the
18TH o publish an article, copied
from an Arkansas City paper, purport-
ing to be an extract of a letter from
Mrs. E. M. Cover of Garden City to
her daughter in Arkansas City.
There are a great many misstate-
ments, and several gross exaggera-
lions. in the letter, calculated to mis-
lead people not acquainted with our
county. In the first place the grass
hoppers have not darkened the air in
fashioned kind. that move around
eating vegetation that comes in their
way.
1t is true that a great many have
been caught with machines similar to
those she described, but no 5000 BUSH
els nor the tenth part of it: also that
they are not sacked uD for next win
ter, for whilst it may possibly be
profitable to have them for chicken
fee next winter, unfortunately nc n
has discovered a way of keeping them
for uch use. To see the amount OF
vegetables in market and in our gar
dens one would not think that all
vegetation was destroyed. Our fruit
is abundant and very little injured by
grasshoppers; grapes, cherries and
peaches the best in years
Our county fair commences next
week and promises to have a good dis
play and a good attendance.
We are having frequent rains which
will help forage crops and late alfalfa
seed crop, which will be heavy.

THE WIRE WAS WRONG.
And Iuka Buyers Paid Too Much for
Wheat All One Day.

Last Friday the wheat buyers at Iuka
were paying 81 cents per bushel for No.
) wheat, while at other points the price
was 81 or So cents. 1t seemed strange
that they could afford to pay Kansas City
prices, but the next day it was learned
that someone had made a blunder. TIC
market quotations are received by wire
from Kansas City every day and the Iuka
buyers got the message wrong and
bought ten or twelve thousand bushels of
wheat at about 10 cents too much on each
bushel. Whether the Kansas City buyers
or the telegraph was to blame
we have not learned. and we don't know
who will have TO stand the loss.-Pratt
