MORE SUGAR TdAN USUAL.
Farmers Think This VIII Be . Banner Year
For APPLE Sugar.

A we'll known sugar maker, who was
here In the village Monday says that
farmers are beginning 70 make prepar.
atoms for their sugar seasons work.
Breaking roads into the orchards
this year will be less work than usual
because OF the fact that there Is but
little drifted snow. The largest grove
owners have only TO make roads to
their boiling houses as most OF the
trees are connected by tin spouts which
carries the sap 10 large receiving tubs
near the evaparators.
The general impression among the
farmers is that the season will be =
good one owing 70 the extreme cold
weather which has kept the trees frozen
and when the time comes for the sap
TO commence running IL will be much
sweeter and flow much faster on that
account.

Reading, writing and spelling, we
say it regretfully no longer
thoroughly taught in the schools of the
land. Young men and women who
seek instruction in telegraphy, stenog-
raphy and typewriting, although of
good ability and general information
are lamentably deficient in the fun
damentals of the English language.
They especially cannot spell. Out of
thirty or forty words in ordinary use
sometimes one-half, or even two-thirds
are misspelled. This every news
paper man will stand ready to vouch
for from experience. The schools no
longer give the common rudiments the
attention they should-too much at
tention is given the higher branches
before the common ones have been
mastered. Especially do they neglect
reading. Girls and boys attending
the common schools should be thorough
ly drilled in reading aloud, to develop
the use of their vocal organs not only
in reading but in spelling and reciting
Young ladies and young men, you
should pay more attention to the
common rudiments.

last year, that ne would again come be-
fore the people as a candidate next

opinion still. He is a fighter, as tht

until the votes were counted. He

so again in the next. convention. There

devotes a half column to a s'Sunday

pointers. We have given one of our
citizens a half column space for
Sunday Sermon, - at his pleasure. and
he. gives US the following:
''OUR SUNDAY SERMON.
Thou shalt not lie or deceive, .

and these figures had demonstrated
that the real Normal students; those in
actual attendance, could go out in the
world and win game honorably. Tom
Miller remaining here attending our
State Normal school, (his brothers, the
two Miller boys and the Foster boy,
who, it has been said, had been brought
here temporarily, and had discovered
they were crowding regular students
out of their rights; that they were
playing under false colors; that they
were deceiving the world and they
had honorably gone home to their work.
1t may have been well enough for the
parent Normal at Emporia to let the
branch Normal at Hays win those
games for an advertisement sake of
this Western School; and it may be
as they do Prof. Bice, 1--WE hope they
will to make good game), but it was
deceiving by Christian teachers to let
them parade as actual students. Stud
ents come here, go to church and Sun
day school as good children and these
actions learn them to be deceitful.
Parents send these young men and
young ladies to this State Institution to
learn honorable things-most of them
to be teachers of little children and
not to learn to win point, victory
or glory under false colors.
And those young men showed the
manhood in them; their Christian
spirit; by going home and not being g
party to deceiving others.
Let US learn these grown boys and girls
that to succeed in this world the frs
and most important point in their life
is ''never deceive anyone even if by
doing so they win questionable glory.
